Small little hole in the wall salons are my favorite. It might be a little old and run down, but they take their time and do a great job! They offer lots of polish color choices and don't time your foot massage. Will definitely return! read more

This place was a joke. It is not clean at all. I came in with my sister for mani pedis. The owner said she had someone for my sister and I to get our nails done at the same time. When we walked in, it was only her. As my sister was getting her gel off, I looked at the polish colors. Faded, separated, obviously refilled colors lined the walls. As I sat down, there were no clean instruments for my manicure and someone else's nail clippings on the dirty towel I sat my hands on. Then after touching a dirty UV light dryer, I proceeded to go through FOUR different gel colors because they were all extremely different from the samples. The owner said it was because the samples were faded! At this point I was done, I just said stop working I am leaving - owner charged me for a full manicure (even though I got no polish and barely "manicured" nails) and the poorly applied gel clear coat. Bottom line: this place is dirty and a rip off. Horrible customer service. read more

Very friendly social professional delicate on my finger nails I would come here again

Today, I went into this salon because the one I preferred was full. I was greeted by a nice older lady but that's about all the positive feedback I can give about this salon. The woman that gave me a pedicure was rude, quick and left me in the chair after I paid her. Usually, they will help you put your sandals back on and see you to the door. The place was completely empty and now I know why. I will never take my business there again. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I was recommend to go by a friend who thought very highly of them. *Mother and daughter owned and run, love that concept. Nice people. I got my nails done on a Thursday night (paid extra and got gel) not even a week later (5 days) already had 2 of them break. Had to go back (wasted even more time) and paid to get them fixed (gave them another shot). Now it's not even 2 weeks yet and I have 4 broken nails (to include one that was fixed). Dissatisfied to say the least with the quality of their product. *I'm on my phone all day, no physical labor done. So this should not happen. No excuses. My whole reasoning behind getting gel was so I didn't need to go in so frequently and look what happened... I went back to give them another chance, got a regular fullset, the next day, they already started lifting. Liberty's Nails has lost my business due to quality. read more

I have been coming to this place for 8 months. My nails have become healthy and strong. Michelle is very creative and never gives me the same color or the same style. But the experience is always the same. AFFORDABLE and PLEASANT!!! read more

See all

Cute little hidden spot, it's a lot smaller than your average nail salon but it's family owned. The whole family works there and they are all so sweet with their adorable little dogs. Michelle is seriously such a delight, she's so sweet and gentle when doing my nails. I told her I have an anxiety while getting toes done but she was so gentle I didn't have a problem. Make sure to make an appointment since they are a smaller salon but I didn't have a problem getting an appointment at all, they took me in right away! read more

Must make this a five star rating for the Sweet way Michelle handled her 93 year old client. The lady loves pale blue gel nails. But, she likes to grouse about the price and the process. Michelle was so kind and accepting of our Royal Mother and her needs. Thank you for taking us in quickly and for the good service. We will be back(if you'll have us!) read more

I've been to better nail salons. The polish selection was small. The pedicure was short and not relaxing. It was obvious they were trying to move things along quickly. My nail polish chipped the next day. And being allergic to dogs, I was disappointed that there were two little dogs running around the shop, laying in the empty spa chairs. read more

The fact that I got a basic manicure is an understatement. This lady just basically trimmed and filed my nails and put Polish on. That's it. I could have done this at home. What bothered me the most is when I told owner lady something, she told another worker something in her language, and that other person looked at me and laughed out loud. I hate when these Asian nail salons talk behind your back in their language. Not only is it unprofessional, its rude. Will never go back . she lost my business. read more

STAY AWAY: HEALTH ISSUE I went to Liberty's because my usual place was packed and I needed my nails done that day for Vegas. I sat down with the older of the two women and explained I wanted acrylics and instead got talked into gel because they would 'look more natural'. She started violently shaving my nails down and applied the first coats of clear gel and my finger IMMEDIATELY started painfully burning under the UV light. I jerked my hand out and although I'd NEVER felt this at any other salon she somehow convinced me it was normal. I spoke with the owner of my regular nail place and she said that burning sensation only happens when they're using cheap products which can seep into cuts. Shame on you for potentially making patrons sick. I somehow finished the manicure. Throughout the whole process I told her to please keep them as thin as you can go and finally she snapped saying I should just let her do it and show me. Welp as I feared they were a huge, bubbly triangular catastrophe but it was too late. The nail artist talked to some girl who was holding a chihuahua in a diaper that barked for my entire visit. Terrible salon. read more

Michelle at Liberty's Nails has been doing my nails for more than a year and I can't imagine going to anyone else. She is meticulous about making sure that my nails are as short as I like and that they will look as perfect as possible and hold up until the next time. The inside is not particularly fancy, but don't let that dissuade you. The prices are reasonable and I know that I can count on Michelle every time for a great set of nails. read more

I have been coming here since I can remember. Michelle and Denise do an amazing job. Denise always does my moms nails and Michelle takes care of me and my sisters.

Denise is a perfectionist, and doesn't rush. All my nails look great, every time. So happy I found her.

Friendly staff, efficient and did an excellent gel manicure and pedicure for a great price!

I'm extremely picky about my nails. I had the same manicurist in Northern CA for years. When I moved to Southern CA I had a hard time finding someone who would meet my expectations and standards. I visited many salons over many months, never making a return visit. Then, I found Liberty Nails and Denise and Michelle and stopped looking. I love this place! I love the fact that I can be two weeks into my manicure and my nails still look great. Michelle and Denise are professional and affordable. I highly recommend them! read more

I've been going to this salon for over ten years, even though I have to drive 35 miles to get there. Why? Because Michelle is a nail artist and she makes my hands look beautiful from one nail appointment to the next. In addition, the place is spotless and the work is done with not only beauty but also sanitation in mind. Finally, going to get my nails done is a pleasure because the salon is a friendly family place. read more

I had a chipped nail and went to get it redone. There were very few colors to choose from and I couldn't find same as mine which is a basic light beige. The lady put on base coat without cleaning nail properly since she filed it and there were dust on it. Then she proceeded to do one coat and put another to darken the color. After the top layer she touched nail several times to see if it was dry. She decided that t was and I paid her. Doing this My nail touched my bag and the polish was a bit off. As I was wondering what to do and if I would have to do it again she said it looked ok and how did I do this so quickly?.. The place is not clean, the dryers are dirty the polish have dust on them and there's isn't much choice. While I appreciated being able to get help right away after calling in I didn't feel welcome nor did I feel she did a good job. I have a darker nail with the top already looking bad. read more

I know that not many dudes get their nails done on a regular basis...but I am one of them. I couldn't be more pleased when I found Liberty's nails. Michelle and Denise are awesome!

I have, and will continue to recommend them to all my friends. read more

I am a new customer to Liberty Nails. I have owned a hair salon in Denver for over 30 years and I believe I know a thing or two about what's good and what's not so good about a salon. I found both Denise and Michelle (mother-daughter) very welcoming, attentive to your needs and present a relaxing atmosphere. I am all about customer service and Liberty Nails met my expectations nicely. I found the salon to be orderly and clean and their sanitation duties were executed in a proper manner which is so important for the protection of their clients. My experience with Liberty Nails has been most enjoyable and I highly recommend them. read more

The two women working there were so pleasant and professional, and my manicurist paid special attention to detail while prepping my nails for a coat. I most definitely will be back! read more
