I'm an elementary school teacher. Over a year ago, I admired a fellow teacher's nails and asked where she had them done. She told me Dolce. I started going there and haven't gone anywhere else since! In fact, there are almost a dozen teachers from my school who go there now because of the quality of their work and the amazing looking nails we've seen on each other. Dolce is conveniently located across from the Shadow Lake shopping development in Papillion. There is a Starbucks next door so you can grab a drink before your appointment. Appointments are not required; I've done both walk-in and appointment to get my nails. I do prefer appointment so I can plan, but it's nice to know if I need to get them done spur of the moment, I can. The chairs at Dolce are comfortable. The nail techs are all fantastic. Thuy (pronounced Twee) is the absolute best! You can bring in a pic of your inspiration and they can make it happen. They play music in the salon, but also typically have HGTV on the televisions. I get caught up watching the home renovations sometimes! :) My favorite part is that you can get acrylics if you want, but they also offer a vitamin gel nail manicure that has allowed me to grow out my own nails! All the photos are my own natural nails with the vitamin gel manicure. This place is so good it would be tempting to keep it a secret, but I think everyone should have the chance to have beautiful nails! read more

This place is not clean enough for me. They do not have enough polish colors either nor rhinestones shapes. The nail tech named Ben kept cutting my cuticles too far back making them bleed and then when I would point this out to him he got an attitude with me every time. He never once apologized. I told him he could give me a fungus infection cutting me until I bleed like that so I stopped doing business here. He also was not good at doing designs, terrible at gel-x tips application and just ok at acrylic. He also was not good at almond nail shaping. read more

Ick. Don't let them talk you into their "better for your nails gel" Either... I wanted a powder dip! So icky, ick, Icky dirty! read more

Worst experience I've had at a nail salon. I waited 45 min for a fill and I have to go to a new place to get them fixed because they look so bad. Getting them done was extremely painful and my nail beds are still sore. read more

My favorite for pedicures!! Nice and peaceful atmosphere. I have a different person each time and they all are good.

They are always able to fit my friends and I in even when it's last minute. They take their time and produce good quality work. We are scheduling our third time going here so that must tell you something read more

I was in hurry and was hoping I'd get in last minute for a fill. Never have been here before but it was close to home , super friendly staff , took their time and all of my nails are straight and perfect. ALSO massaged my hands for a good amount of time! Can't find that at any salon anymore. Price was fair, will definitely be going again. read more

I went to this nail spa because I was in the area and I'm sorry but I have to give ONE STAR, worst service I have experienced. They had me there for 2.5 hrs, and charged me $70. First they said it would be $70 because of the coffin shape and the design, so I changed my mind because at that point I was there for 1 hr and all they had accomplished was removing my nails at that point. So I told him I'll just do French tips and short (because at this point I just wanted to leave), normally I'm in and out in a hour at the nail salon I normally go to called MARTINI NAILS. Then when I was done he still charged me $70 and then claimed it was for my nail removal, does not sound right to me at all. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS NAIL SPA AGAIN, I normally get dip and I never get charged to remove my set to start a new set. So honestly I DO NOT recommend this place at all! read more

Spent over 2 hours in there for a manicure for my nails to look like a 5 year old did them. Do not recommend! Owner was rude and forced me to pay. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! read more

I've been here twice before and this time They gave me an infection under my nail!!! It was oozing puss all of the next day. They gave me my money back after I demanded for it. But they refused to take my nails off for free because they were all "busy" read more

I just started going here I think if you go to the right person they do a great job. Ben is awesome and they always take their time. I never feel rushed out the door. read more

Ben is the way to go here. He did both my gel pedi and pink and white gel mani with tips. Making an appt was easy. He was timely and thorough. He never got rushed. And he did a great job making sure my nails were what I wanted, not too thick, and perfectly filed. If I actually lived in Omaha, I'd go here all the time. read more

Have been going here since I was in high school. Recently I've been going regularly and I love the work they do! They are reasonably priced and all the nail techs do great work. They get pretty busy so making appointment is the best way to go! read more

Candace does not only amazing nails but lash extensions. They have a deal where it's only $65 with a pedicure for a full set which are usually $150+. These stay on well for 3 weeks or so but I get mine filled every two weeks. The amazing price allows me to! She also does permanent makeup for great prices as well - getting microblading for my birthday next! read more

I moved away and was in town so I decided to stop by and get my nails and eyebrows done. Tracy put very hot wax on my face and burned both of my eyebrows. I went back in the next day to show her and she didn't even apologize. They just started speaking in their language. Rude as hell. I will never spend another dollar here and will never recommend this place to anyone else. I was a customer for over 5 years before I moved but I will not tolerate the disrespect. I understand things happen but at least say sorry. read more

Worst service. They rush on your nails and cater to specific customers. I went today just to get my eyebrows waxed and was told they don't have time to come back. How you don't have 10 minutes to eyebrows is beyond me but I will not be going back. read more

Went in for a simple eyebrow wax and the lady took off most of my eyebrows they are so thin the worst I've ever experienced do not get your eyebrows done here ! read more

Made an appointment for two people to get a manicure. We arrived 5min before our scheduled time, the place was packed with people getting manicures and no where for us to go. We had to sit and wait like we were walk ins and my friend got seen 15min before me. Um hello? Maybe if it's just me but if I walk in with my friend the last thing I want in my experience is to not be able to talk to her the whole time we are there. Nails and girl talk go together like wine and cheese, it just does. Facility still nice, hated that the tech kept pressing me to get Shellac.....I said no like 3 times. So pushy on the services, not keeping appointments (I got seen 20min past our appt time), and separating a group of two girls that booked/walked in together. Never again, I'll pay more for better service read more

Awesome nail spa! Super clean, great nail techs, friendly atmosphere. Got a full set and it's perfect! They are typically really busy.. I went at 930 on Saturday when they opened and the place was almost filled. However, I highly recommend! Next to a Starbucks, so grab your coffee after you get your nails done! Win win! read more

La Dolce Nails & Spa - This place is awesome! Super clean, wonderful nail techs, friendly atmosphere. I got a acrylic nails and they turned out perfect - Nail Salons Near Me - Papillion, Nebraska

I've honestly never had my nails butchered before until I went to this place. Don't go. The lady that did my acrylics made them super thick and none of my nails were even. They looked terrible. It might look nice inside but this lady had absolutely no idea what she was doing. Also, my polish was so messed up and uneven. Got them fixed at another place and the technician said "I'm so confused by what this lady tried to do". read more

Worst nail experience ever! First and last time i will come here. They do not have their prices or services posted ANYWHERE... on a website or in the salon. I came in for acrylic with regular polish color. I normally get asked at any other salon if i want gel but after i say it once they leave it be. Not this place. She kept going on and on about how gel is more natural looking, only $10 more, why you no want gel? over and over she asked. I personally like acrylic because they don't break on me like gel. After I told her 'no' literally the 10th time, she started talking in their language to another tech. It was completely obvious it was about me not wanting gel because of her mannerisms. I may not know your language but I'm not an idiot. So she didn't talk to me during the rest of the process until it was time to wash my hands before the polish got put on and pay. Again she tried to get me to do gel polish and then shellac and that she'd give me a discount. I know what i like and i like acrylic.. even if the rest of the world likes gel!!! I told her no... for the millionth time. She was sloppy with the polish on the sides of a couple nails. And once it was all finished 2 of my nails were filed so crooked. It was easier to see once i got my purple color polish on my coffin shaped nails. And then one it was all done she asked if i wanted a pedicure!!!! Ummmmm heck no #byefelicia I do NOT recommend this place. She took it out on my nails and hands when i said no to gel. And the place is dirty. Trash can by the sink was so full that it wouldnt close and it was filthy dirty. The soap dispenser looked as if it had been refilled 20 times because it was grimy and the labels were so wore off. Nothing looked like it had been sanitized. Yuck!!! read more

La Dolce Nails & Spa - The coffin shape is crooked and uneven throughout each nail! - Nail Salons Near Me - Papillion, Nebraska

Great place. Been going here for over 10 years. I go to Twee and she its amazing! I get solar nails and I like them really short and she always makes them look amazing. Great pedicures and great place for waxing. They never over wax. Other places want to leave me with a strip of eyebrows, not here, they always look fantastic. I usually make an apt, and usually don't have to wait. If i do, I don't mind because I know they are just making sure to do a good job. My oldest daughter sees Ben and she loves her acrylics done by him. All around great salon, competitive prices, friendly staff, and they always try not to turn anyone away. read more

Do not go here!!!!never had an experience like this before! Friday I went with my sisters to get our nails painted and now its Sunday and my sister and I have multiple nails gone and I don't go hard or anything on my nails either do my sisters. Also while we were in the salon the man kept staring at my older sister and I multiple times and made feel incredibly uncomfortable! Save your money if you want your nails painted!!! But other then that staff was nice and did a good job besides them all coming off. read more

Not the best place. I felt rushed. She was rushing so much that she was jerking my hands around and pulling them in the direction she needed to the point that I was uncomfortable. I tried to point out that my nail was completely crooked and she tried to convince me my finger was crooked instead. I've never had a crooked nail before. There was no small talk. The tv was on without sound, and there was no music playing. No massage, no lotion, nothing extra. Bare minimum service. read more

Walked in got a shellac pedicure with a hot stone massage by Annie and it was amazing. I will be definitely going back.

for my birthday I went in to get a full set and I gave them a reference picture. by the end of my appointment they were closing and cleaning around me so I didn't feel comfortable speaking up and asking them to redo them. the nails weren't even the same color as the reference picture, were chunky and upshaped. Everyone I showed were absolutely appalled. I called when they opened the next day and tried to explain why I didn't speak up and how I needed them redone and they were very rude and yelled at me. i ended up having to go to a different salon and it took them an hour just to get the nails off. i would not recommend read more

Ben does my nails- he's great and remembered my name the 2nd time I went in- I've only been going here about 3 months but I'm very happy with him! I'm always getting complemented on my nails. read more

Thuy has been doing my nails for over 10 years - I will never go anyplace else ! I always love her beautiful work and look forward to my Thuy time. read more

I went her on recommendations of a friend. Boy, was I disappointed. The staff was very unfriendly. The pedicure chair I was placed in had a broken roller and was really uncomfortable. I felt like the girl rushed through my pedicure. My toes turned out okay but I was not impressed with this place. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!! Had a awful experience.. Front counter lady was very rude and demanding.. we sat down on the massage chairs and they didn't even have the plastic wraps on The foot tub.. they are very nosy.. and VERY RUDE!!... they treated my sister like SHIT. Her nails were crooked.. and they didn't even remove all the nail polish.. when my sister asked to remove all the nail polish.. they said you won't see it. When the White nail polishes is over it they had attitude..when we corrected them.. they don't have a good selection for just nail polish with no shellac.. they didn't offer us any choices to pick from... they massage for like three minutes literally.. when you go to a nail salon you should be wined and dined and treated like queens but this place did the complete opposite.. read more

I like that they are flexible and you can make last minute appointments. They are relatively fast and the place is nice inside. One of the techs makes bumpy nails....and I don't feel like you can complain cuz they are so hard to understand. I hate that. Otherwise they rock. read more

The worst nails salon I've ever been to. We wanted somewhere close by shadow lake after shopping. So mom and I decided to try this salon. When we first came in, they asked us to come back in 30 mins. We came back 30 minutes later only to wait in the chairs for another 30 minutes. After waiting so long, they tried coming up with excuses for the wait. They could have at least told us it was going to be awhile so we could go somewhere else. After the tech was applying the nail polish I noticed the color was all over my skin. I kept showing him and he would clean up some but most was left behind. Then, he proceeded to tell me that my nails are shorts and he's used to painting long nails. I've never had an issue anywhere else. I will never be back. read more

This salon is very over priced with terrible customer service and makes an exciting experience very stressful and uncomfortable.

I had been going here regularly but becoming less satisfied with how poorly shellac was applied. She didn't go close to edges or to cuticle. They looked grown out in a few days. Filed nails too short and crooked. Also she always offers a Deal and tries to pressure you into either doing both mani and pedi or using shellac when you ask for regular. Also they're always talking and laughing in their native language which seems rude. I went to another salon now and got the absolute best manicure I've ever had and prices were posted and better. Not going back here. read more

My experience at this salon was fine except that the technician that gave me a pedicure was very pressuring and persistent on choosing a pricier shellac option rather than letting me get a basic pedi. After the pedicure, she asked if I wanted a manicure then mentioned it would only be 10$, with this deal she mentioned I went ahead and changed my mind to get a manicure. After receiving the manicure, when we were settling up I came to realize I was being charged for a 85$ manicure rather than the previously agreed upon price of 10$. As someone on a budget, this was a very disappointing and awkward moment as I didn't want to leave without paying what they asked for however she would not take anything less. I will never be returning, instead will look for a place with better business ethics. read more

Good place to get manicures and pedicures.

Worst pedicure ever! Cold water for my feet and I had to get her to change the water the first time because it was dirty! No foot massage, heel scrub, or anything extra. Had to get 3 of my toes redone because the french tips were too wide and crooked. The place was clean, but left there unsatisfied. Oh, and by the way, it costs $30.00 for a less than stellar effort. It almost looks like i didn't even go and get pampered a little. read more

Sometimes it just depends on your nail-person. But I do feel they give extra attention to detail. My daughter & I have gotten several shellac nail manicure & deluxe pedicure. They don't go fast or rush thru the service. We are always pleased. read more
