    2nd try - very messy.

    Went in for a gel pedicure and a gel builder fill. The gentleman did my gel pedicure good. Unfortunately, my manicure was pretty bad. I asked for a design and she wasn't able to do it so I just stuck to a French tip in pink, it came out super thick at first but thought maybe that's how it was supposed to look since i went shorter than what I came in with. I went home and everyone told me it was really bad, so I went back and asked if I can just remove them, they said they'll try to fix it, it came out as bad as the first time. My nails were in so much pain I just ended up keeping them since they thinned my nail out a lot and they're bendy now.

    Really good nail quality Hellen does amazing nails overall really good vibe and the staff in general are very nice

    Definitely nothing like their instagram posts $53 set left acrylic residue on my fingers and there is lint on all my nails. Also the nail tips aren't put on properly they are lifted which makes my nails look weird and up

    I received a mani and pedicure both times. Staff were friendly, spa chairs are comfortable, reasonable price considering the details. Helen always does amazing work the designs! My hands did take a little longer than preferred but I rather it be nice and precise rather than rushed.

    I'm so disappointed. I went in to soak off my acrylic because one of my nails broke off and this is what they let me leave with. They didn't take off all of the acrylic from my set and the lady that was doing my nail removal was rushing since my service was only $15.

    probably the worst set of "acrylic" toes i've ever gotten done. i walked in asking for an acrylic set, after the guy asked which menu i wanted and just chose the $60 pedicure package which i thought it came with the acrylic full set bc that's what i asked for when i came in. after the painful leg massage he started putting clear gel polish on my toes and no acrylic.. i said i wanted an acrylic full set and showed him a photo of a square white acrylic set and said that it would be an extra $40. he drilled the skin around my toe beds causing them to be raw, shoving his real nail under my toe nail which hurt like hell after applying the acrylic. the shaping was quite ridiculous never in my life have i seen acrylic even shaped like keyboards, no effort was even put into the shaping it was so bad i had to go home and fix it which took like 30 min.i really feel like they played in my face especially sitting in that chair for 2 hours of my life and had the audacity to ask if my total was included with tip. $93 was my total and i tried giving $95 in cash and he couldn't even count the cash correctly, i had 4 20s and 3 5s laid out counting it in front of him and he kept saying it's $93 and making it seem like my total wasn't the right amount as if he was trying to make me pay more for a tip i ended up just paying tap. literally the worst and painful experience

    I've given this shop a few try's, sometimes ok and sometimes detrimental Yes they have a value in town but these reviews do not reflect how dirty it really is in there, it does not look like they even try surface level cleaning. I was extremely uncomfortable on my last visit and I should have trusted my instincts. The tech was not focused on her work, was nonchalant and busy talking to coworkers. This is the first time I have ever grown fungus under my nail and experienced the worst cut on my pinky causing pain lasting weeks, this will be the reason I can't ever return Please consider your daily cleaning routine, I've brought my daughter and mother multiple times to this store and cannot allow this to not be addressed Good luck

    Update: exactly one week later and my pedicure is also peeling and chipping. I have NEVER had a gel pedicure last less than 1-2 months. Extremely disappointed with I Love Nails.
