    Regular polish change with dnd color 178
    Kelly Y.

    I've come to gloss nail bar quite a few times and the service has always been great. Every technician I've had was very good and helpful. Overall my appointments have always been on time and the salon is very clean. Definitely will continue to come back!

    This is the nail tech Jenny zero customer service very horrible attitude

    I have been a loyal client of Glass Nail Bar for over five years, spending over $300 a month and consistently paying a $50 deposit to secure appointments with master technician Jennie. Because of my long-standing history with this salon, I am thoroughly shocked, confused, and disappointed by how I was treated during my recent visit. My appointments were scheduled for 5:00 PM (pedicure) and 5:30 PM (full set with Jennie). While my pedicure started on time, Jennie was running 45 minutes late. When she finally approached me, she appeared visibly frustrated and upset presumably carrying over stress from her previous client and unfortunately took that frustration out on me. We sat down, reviewed the reference photo I brought, and agreed on the design. Just three minutes into removing and filing my old nails, Jennie abruptly asked, "What did you book for?" I replied that I booked for a French tip. She said nothing further in the moment, but when I politely followed up to ask why she had inquired, she snapped with an attitude: "Next time, book for a design." I addressed her tone directly, asking why she was being condescending. I explained that the front desk considers French tips a design, and reminded her that she was already 45 minutes late for my appointment an appointment I pay top dollar for. Instead of handling the situation professionally, Jennie stormed off to the front desk. When she returned, she announced, "Yeah, I won't be doing your nails. Somebody else will." I refused to have another technician perform the service. I book specifically with a master technician and pay a mandatory $50 deposit for Jennie's services. I stated that if Jennie would not fulfill the service, I expected my $50 deposit to be refunded immediately. At this point, the manager stepped in and offered to assign another technician. I reiterated that I pay a 50 dollar deposit specifically for a master technician, not a random reassignment. The manager then agreed to process a refund for my deposit. However, this left me in a worse position: my original nails were already partially filed down, the service I came for was completely cancelled after a 45-minute wait, and a card refund takes several business days to process. After the technician finished my pedicure, I was deeply upset by the blatant disrespect and the massive waste of my time. I gathered my things and walked out. The manager then chased me outside, demanding payment for the pedicure. I pointed out that the salon was still holding my $50 deposit (as the refund had not settled) and that the primary reason for my visit was ruined due to their staff's unprofessionalism. Rather than de-escalating the situation, taking accountability for their late start, or apologizing for their master technician's refusal to complete my service, the management chose to escalate matters further by calling the police and holding my car keys not allowing me to leave!!!!!

    This was my first time here and it won't be my last! The inside is sooo cute! It was like crazy busy when I walked in in the morning but the wait with my reservation wasn't long at all. They had a really long table where clients were getting their nails done and along the wall people were getting pedicures and manicures at the same time. Christy was my nail tech and she is a true artist! I showed her 3 different pictures and made my nails better than what I wanted! She free handed the designs and they are so beautiful. I got multiple cateye shades. I really couldn't capture how good they are with pictures or video. She gave me the best set I've ever had! Y'all are just gonna have to catch my nails in person. The quality of my nails is just amazing!! Make sure you book the correct type of services so enough time can be allotted for your appointment, and if you have any questions, just call the salon. They have valet parking that's validated inside and you can tip the valet through Venmo if you don't have cash.

    I went to Gloss for the first time ever for a Pedicure. I ended up getting the Jello Shot Pedicure with Gel polish for $90 (including tip) during their early bird special with Taylor. She was really kind, thorough and did a great job. It was very busy and even with an appointment, I did have to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. The valet was very fast and a nice touch. They also offer you a variety of colors to choose from and a variety of beverages for you to enjoy while getting your service. My pedicure also came with an extended shoulder massage and that was a great added touch. If you go for a pedicure, book with Taylor because she's definitely worth the wait!

    Cup
    Lorece S.

    I really enjoyed my experience at Gloss. Parking is very tight but they offer complimentary valet, which is a HUGE plus. I like that they provide a cup with a lid for beverages because I'm always worried about the various dust and chemicals flying into my drink. The space itself is very chic and well-decorated, however, it is so crowded that it doesn't feel as relaxing as I would have liked. My tech was friendly and assisted me with color selection. The pedi itself was very well done. The highlight for me is that they time their pedicures. It's a selling point because at some salons I pay extra for a deluxe with 20 minute massage and barely get 5. So this is why I will keep returning here, because I know that I am getting what I paid for.

    I've been going to Gloss Nail Bar for 3 years now and they never miss! For 2 years I went without requesting a specific technician and was always happy with the results. Only recently have I been going back with Tee for my nail design because she does great work - and all pedicure techs are 10/10!

    Sarah H.

    Gloss is consistently one of my favorite places to get my nails done. Ann is my go to Girl for manicures, and she always gets me in and out with fresh, beautiful nails. The early bird special makes this one of the most affordable places in the area.

    I absolutely love coming here. The technicians are top-tier, and the service is always amazing. Even when I have a new tech, they're able to bring my nail ideas to life exactly how I describe them. The wait time is never long--whether I have an appointment or not--which I really appreciate. I also love how they decorate the space each month; it always adds such a nice touch to the overall experience.

    Ask the Community - Gloss Nail Bar

    Do you offer Russian manicures?

    We currently offer light cuticle work with structure gel over (using builder gel/hard gel).

    Do you offer jelly polish?

    Hi, yes we do have jelly colors!

    Do you do chrome nails?

    Yes, I just got chrome nails done !

    Hi . May I ask if Gloss Nail Bar offer Gel X?

    Yes they do in a variety of lengths with great application

    Feb2023: how much is a classic pedicure cost 💲 20?

    Our basic pedicure starts at $30 currently.

    How thick are your nails? sometimes i get mine done and they come out bulbous and misshapen, can you confirm they would look dainty like how i want them?

    Hello there! Yes, they are VERY natural looking and dainty. I find that my nails are healthier since I've switched over to dip. I too am a stickler when it comes to my nails. If they don't have the natural and classy look to them I don't want it.… 

    What brand of gel nail polishes do you carry?

    We carry a wide range of brands from OPI, Color Club, DND, Pyramid, etc

    Do you guys offer Apple pay?

    Yes we do!

    Do you guys offer drinks?

    Right now during the pandemic, we aren’t allowed to serve open containers and glass. We are only offering bottle water until we are allowed to serve our usual drinks again

    For dip manicures -- do you dip multiple hands in the powder jars, or do you use separate sterile containers of powder for each client?

    When I went in for my first dip, the nail tech used the whole powder jar for each of my nails. It had the brand on it and everything so I'm not sure how sanitary that is. Using separate containers sounds like a great idea though!

    If I would like nail extensions, would the technician use tips or forms?

    We would be using tips.

    How much do you charge for refills?

    Starts at $25 polish refill and then $35 refill for gel/color powder

    How much is a shellac manicure? I get powder under the shellac.

    Shell mani is $32 if you don't have gel on and $36 if you have gel. It would be $37 for you to soak off the powder and then do a shellac mani though.

    Hi I was wondering if you guys did butterfly nails? The ones that are not drawn on but look like plastic outlines of butterflies. Thank you!

    Yes we do

    Hi, what's the best way to reschedule an appointment if I booked through the website?

    Call the front desk

    Hi, congrats on your recent opening! How much would an acrylic removal be? Thank you!

    Thank you! It would be $10 without a service and $5 if you do another service with it

    Do you have vegan gel polish?

    Yes we carry Bio seaweed and pyramid which are vegan free

    How much is it for dip nails with the nail extension coffin shaped and 2 nails holographic?

    Dip powder starts at $45 and with tips it's $5 extra, shape is $5 and the 2 nails holographic is $8 so $63

    Do you offer dip powder?

    Yes, and our dip is $45 just in case you needed the price too :)

    How much would it be for manicure and powder on my real nails with french tip shellac, plus a pedicure? Is there white pearl french tip in shellac?

    A pedicure starts at $28, and we do have pearl french tip in shellac. As for the powder on your real nails with french tip shellac, I think you are talking about an acrylic full set with shellac on top of the acrylic? If so that would be $45 and…

    DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!…read more I had been going here for a couple of years and knew the owner, Vanessa, from when she worked at PureLux. When she moved to this location, I started going there because she had previously been my nail technician. However, I was eventually told that she was no longer taking customers, so I was assigned to Hailey. That's when the problems started. Hailey had a huge attitude because I happened to come in on a day she was off and had another technician who I really liked. I continued requesting that technician, and apparently, Hailey had an issue with that. On another visit, I had Hailey again, and she was extremely rude when I asked her to show me the available colors. In a very condescending manner, she told me that I had to choose the color she was showing me. I eventually called and asked to speak with either Vanessa or Amanda. I was told that one of them would call me back. That call never happened. I'm still waiting for it, and this was a couple of years ago! I recently looked at their reviews out of curiosity and honestly couldn't believe how many negative reviews they've received. Unfortunately, based on my own experience, I'm not surprised.

Customers should feel valued and respected, not treated as though they are an inconvenience. Needless to say, I never went back.

I later saw on her Instagram story that she had an opening at 3:30 she was trying to fill. Had anyone bothered to contact me -- a call, a text, an email, anything -- I could have slid into that slot or taken my business to Adore Nails or Memorial Nail Care, both of which maintain a full staff capable of doing amazing designs. Instead, I received zero communication. I showed up to my appointment only to be told they don't honor that particular nail technician's bookings and that their systems haven't been updated to reflect that. So you're actively allowing clients to book a specific technician through your online portal, knowing full well those preferences will be ignored? That's not a miscommunication -- that's a scam- a bait and switch. The available staff could not do designs, which I was fully aware of -- which is exactly why I chose this technician specifically. I was left with no real options and settled for a plain manicure. My cuticles were done well, but my "oval" nails are not oval, and my gel is visibly bumpy -- not a smooth finish in sight. I could have done better myself. Unfortunately I didn't have the time, which is precisely why I booked with someone I knew would make it worth it -- only to be completely ignored. Fix your booking system. Contact your clients when there's a change. Don't advertise a service you have no intention of honoring. Your front desk girl is very patient, very sweet, and was very apologetic. She should not have had to apologize for what is clearly a failure of management.
