Overall, I'd give Sam's Nails a 3.5. I had high hopes for this nail salon when it opened a couple…read moreyears ago, but every time I visit they only seem to be ok. Sam's has never seem to wow me with their work. When it comes to convenience, I love where the location is. It would get a 5 star for that alone. The facility is always clean and I never worry about my safety as far as getting as infection or anything like that. Unlike some other places. I'm originally from the East Coast and when we get our nails done, we like pizazz. I enjoy fun and eclectic styles and patterns. And it seems like here in the Midwest, that's not something people look for regularly. So when I saw Sam's advertising on social media and even with their signage, I thought this void would finally be filled. They displayed fun designs and creative artwork, but I find that 1) not everyone can complete the creative nail art I look for. 2) they literally CHARGE for ev-ver-ry thing! If you want nails files shaped to anything but square, +$5-10. If you want French +5-10. I know it's common, but $10 is a bit much (IMO). 3)they just don't perform to my level of expectation. But check them out and let me know what you think.

My friend who has been coming for years to have nails put on referred me. I get mani-pedi's (sometimes deluxe) & my toes painted. I've been 4x now & have learned they are very busy. I just run up, put my name on the list, run errands or back home & they call me 15 min b4. They are all friendly & fun, however, Dee is my girl now! She is great! Her Deluxe Pedicure is heavenly & the massage chair is the cherry on top! She is professional, educational, tentative & delicate too!

Next time I will wait on who I usually sit with. Lesson learned on going to a new employee Or being sent to whoever is available.

Looks like I tried to paint my own nails. -Polish is painted on uneven. Gotta love seeing waves of transparent polish layer of hot pink. Looks great. -Will not check nail length so one hand will be longer than the other - after explaining to NOT do this because my nails are super thin and will rip off. No, I didn't tear them and no I didn't pick off old gel. -Will put cheap unpleasant lotion on your hands for a "massage" with acetone and natural nail dust still on despite asking to go wash hands first. I'm sorry, but WHY?!?! I've never been to a salon that puts lotion on top of acetone. Or after using the Dremel. And telling the customer NO to washing hands first. -Will leave with noxious smelling hands because of acetone and gross lotion despite washing them. -will regret going here and wasting $42 for something I could have done myself with the $10.99 Walmart special polish brand. The people were pleasant but just not sure what's going on here.

She just had an attitude throughout my appointment.

However, this last visit was unacceptable…read more I was greeted at the door as always, however after about a 10 minutes of waiting I was told to go to a pedicure chair. The young girl put the plastic cover in the feet bowl, gave me a book and asked what type of pedicure did I want, she did not run any water to let my feet soak, she did not take off my pedicure polish or anything. After sitting there another 10 -15 minutes the young girl asks me would I mind waiting 20 minutes for a pedicure. Additionally, another lady sat down next to me and she was not asked to wait 20 more minutes. This really peed me off, this should had been said at the door.

I've been coming here for about two years, off and on, for pedicures; the place is run by a…read morehusband-wife team. They both have heavy SE Asian accents, so I've always had trouble communicating with them, which may or may not be an issue for others. The good: They take cleanliness seriously, with many tools coming from a sterilizer (although the pumice stones seem to be reused with only a rinse, based on what I saw). They always wear face masks, and there are clear plastic panels hung between their station and the massage chair pedicure station. The prices are very affordable, but I've only ever done basic pedicures with sometimes a basic manicure. The neutral: The place plays piano "Muzak" only -- the same CD, over and over. It could be worse, but they didn't quite attain the "soothing spa" environment they might have been trying for. Furnishings are old and somewhat worn; again, meh ambience, but irrelevant to the service. The not-so-good: I usually get my pedicures from the husband; he is thorough and careful, and my nails end up looking good. While he isn't always willing to give me what I ask for, he'll take the time to try to tell me why I can't have it (in particular: nail shape -- I have square beds but hate square nails; and the callus-shaving, which he won't always do to my satisfaction, telling me the calluses are there to protect something -- I think). He often comes across as a bit brusque and impatient with me, but that might just be more communication problems. I had a pedicure from the wife of the team last time. I find her even more difficult to understand than the husband, and she seems to have a harder time understanding me. She also seems to focus more on speed than on care. First, she didn't give me any time to do more than dip my feet in the pedicure tub before she got started -- a three minute soak first would have made the callus removal easier and more thorough. I like my toenails a working length: just shy of the end of the toe, so I'm not gouging my shoes. She cut them back so short they feel like I have ten stubbed toes, and she cut down the sides of the toenails, cutting ME in the process. It hurt, and I said "ouch!" When she cut me, but she didn't apologize or say anything. One cut was bad enough she had to apply pressure with cotton to get the bleeding to stop. The callus removal was less thorough than I prefer, although she did use the callus shaver, which I like. She wasn't able to get the calluses on my pinky toes, which are difficult to reach and take care to properly deal with. I had a manicure this time as well. Some of my nail beds are oval, and some are square; I prefer rounded, working-length nails (just a bit past the ends of my fingers). Some of my nails ended up rounded, and some ended up square; she tried to explain that they matched the nail bed, and to round them would go down the sides too much. I wish she'd discussed that with me beforehand. I have really thin, fragile, friable nails; I had to stop her from filing the tops too much. (I don't care if you are trying to smooth them; if they flake and peel and break as a consequence, that is not ideal.) point is: two years, and not only have they never bothered to learn my preferences, but I've also never particularly felt welcome. Final straw: it's a week later, and the too-short toenails still hurt. My big toe, where she seriously cut down along the side, is red and sore. I'll be soaking in Epsom salts for a while, it seems. And seriously growing out my toenails before I go looking for a different nail salon.

The time DeAnna sets aside for you is actually FOR YOU! Which is awesome! There isn't a ton of hustle inside the shop which I LOVE considering I'm usually trying to unwind and relax when I'm treating myself. This salon is very clean! Many color options and her photos show tons of cute designs. DeAnna is very easy going and made me feel very comfortable during my first visit. I was so impressed with the amount of time my gel polish actually stayed on my toes! I have been to many nail salons and by far this was probably the best pedicure yet!

My friend and I enjoyed a lovely Sunday at the Conrad Spa.

We were prompted greeted by Tina and shown around the spa and to our lockers. In the ladies locker room area, there are showers, a sauna, and a steam room. We got there early so we could enjoy the pool and other amenities. Unfortunately, when we arrived there were hotel guests in the pool, including children. That's not all that conducive to relaxing unfortunately so we didn't get in the water at all. Tina also helped us order a lovely lunch from Capitol Grill and took overall very good care of us while we relaxed and waited for our spa appointments. The services: Both of us had nice services but honestly both felt we had had better for various reasons. My esthetician was good and did a very nice job but I had added on a leg scrub. The leg scrub was great but it came At the sacrifice of the hand and wrist massage you might typically get. My friend's service was good but was slow to start and the provider had some clumsiness issues and dropped items on the floor creating loud noises. The only thing that was really "bad" was the temperature of the atrium area/pool and hot tub area. It was HOT in there. It was so warm in there that we just couldn't force ourselves in the hot tub or the sauna/steam room. Tips: 1. there is street parking, which is free on Sundays 2. When you walk in, go closer to the check in desk to the second set of elevators and the spa is on the 6th floor 3. There is cold water and some cold towels in the Gym on the same floor.

I was seated within about five minutes, which was a great first impression. Unfortunately, that's where things started going downhill. I sat where I was instructed and placed my feet in the pedicure tub, but the water was scorching hot. I told the technician it was too hot, and she only adjusted it slightly. I still couldn't comfortably put my feet in the water and had them barely touching the surface. She asked if it was still too hot, I said yes, and instead of adjusting it right away, she waited another several minutes before finally adding cold water. When she asked if I wanted the deluxe pedicure, I agreed. However, she spent less than five minutes actually cleaning, trimming, and caring for my nails. Most of the appointment was spent rubbing my legs and repeatedly scratching them with her long fingernails, which was uncomfortable rather than relaxing. I requested a French tip. After she finished painting, I asked her to clean up the sides of my nails because the polish was messy. Instead, she simply wiped them with a towel, completely missing what I meant. The polish around my nails was never cleaned up, leaving a sloppy finish. To make matters worse, she filed my nails after polishing them. My toenails were already short, and she filed them even shorter until they were almost past the skin, which was painful. There was still leftover product around several of my toes that was never cleaned up before I left. Overall, I left very disappointed. The salon itself was nice, but the quality of the pedicure did not match the price or my expectations. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.
