If you want something cheap and ok come here. The ladies here are rude and always talking amongst themselves. I got acrylics twice and they never last a week. Save your money. read more

Got in at 10 am first one to get dipped nails. Left at 11:25am, the lady that started on me didn't know what she was doing, the color wasn't even, had clear spots to where you can see my nail bed still. Then she was filing some much that I got cut. So another lady notice what she was doing wasn't right she stepped In and took over. But at this time they were getting busy so she had to rush on me because she had someone else in her chair. Left with very messy clean up nails. They gave me $5 off because of the crappy job. The place is still very nice. I just don't think that dipped nails are their best work. read more

I wanted to try the new Nail Salon that opened in my neighborhood, just to see what they had to offer for colors vs my other nail salon. I booked an appointment for 5:15pm, I was immediately seated at 5:15 for my appointment. The Customer Service was great, I have not one complaint there. I let the lady know that I wanted my dip as close to the end as possible, I don't like coming back a week later to have them removed and dipped again. She assured me that they would clean up the cuticles to be sure they get close to the bed of the nail, the nail technician did a great job at cleaning up my cuticles. During the time I was there, 2 different customers came in complaining that they got their nails done on Saturday (it was only Tuesday-3 days later) and they are already peeling and chipping. I saw what it looked like and it didn't look good, I am sitting there worrying that this will happen to my nails in 3 days. She assured me that they used the wrong top coat on the other clients and that they have a different top coat and it will not happen to mine. I sat there confused when the first lady sat down to get her nails fixed that they filed off the top coat and placed a No Chip top coat under the UV Lamp and then sent her on her way, but she had a dip done?? I thought the whole purpose of the dip was no UV, no lamps, electric fans, cutting tools, drills, etc. My appointment was at 5:15 and I left the nail salon at 7:15. It took 2 hours for them to get my nails done, I have never spent 2 hours at a nail salon, there went my whole night of getting stuff done around the house. They finished my nails and these are nowhere near as close to my cuticles as my other salon, I will have to go back in a little over a week to get them done again. I am not happy with the results and the texture of the nail, they are definitely not as polished as my other nail salon. Shame on me for trying something new. read more

First time visiting. I received a pedicure. Felt like my feet were being tortured. The lady cut my cuticle too deep on one of my toes. The massage felt awful. She was too hard. I've never been more relieved that it finally ended. I will definitely not be back. read more

NEVER AGAIN. I arrived for my appointment hoping for someone who actually knew how to do dipped nails to service me. My nails lasted all of 2 days. Money down the drain. My chipped so badly that I had to cut them down to nothing. Do NOT have your dipped nails done here. You've been warned. read more

I recently moved to the area and tried a couple other salons and this was by far the best pedicure. I read other reviews but I thought it was an appropriate amount of time for my service and the result was great. I will definitely be back. read more

TERRIBLE Service. Took my Grandaughter 7 years old, Monday July 16 right when they opened. Besides the fact that their air conditioner was not working and it was SO HOT ..I asked for a New gel set for my 13 Year old Grandaughter.. that set came out ok...A little sloppy and very slow. We were there 2 hours. BUT, MY 7 YEAR OLD GRANDAUGHTER...that's another Story...The owner or manager sat her in the kiddy chair and the left her sitting THERE the entire time...As other customers came in...They just kept leaving my 7 Year old Grandaughter sitting there in the HEAT...!! They put FANS on other customers, the offered water to other customers.. And she just sat there...I told her to get out of the chair after 45 min of sitting there...And she was upset. So after 2 hours of waiting I took her to ELEGANT Nails a few blocks down on 63rd st. Nice people here, I was VERY UPSET that MIDWAY NAILS WAS SO RUDE & just treated my little Grandaughter like crap. I told the manager & we had words, I told her SHAME on her for treating my little Grandaughter like that. A fun grandma morning turned to crap....2 HOURS JUST WAITING. But we are down the street now... at a Nicer kinder place!!!! read more

I agree with most reviews. It should never take two or three hours at a salon to get hands and feet done! 25 min each at least. I think jade and Mimi do a great job at nails and I support a woman business regardless of ignorance or unprofessionalism. I think jade deserves my service. However, be courteous of other people's times. read more

The ladies were very nice and spent quality time on my feet, which we're very rough. They made me feel comfortable even though I was quite embarrassed by the condition of my feet. Their prices are comparable to other shops. Love that they are so close to home. read more

I really want to like this place because it is so close but I've been here 3 times and each experience has been different. 1st time the wait was sooo long I only ended having time for my nails. 2nd time was on that -30 degree day I was the only customer did a great job on the pedicure and the no chip manicure was GREAT! 3rd time the pedicure was great but the no chip was terrible.... the lady repeatedly poked and jabbed my nails and cuticles to the point of bleeding then poked them some more so painful I was almost brought to tears.... then she messed up a few times and wanted to remove the polish and start over. It was soo painful I just wanted it to be over!! read more

I had my nails done a week ago. It took three and a half hours to get a manicure and dip nails! I expected a great job for three and a half hours. Instead two of my nails powder cracked in just one week. And my toes nail polish is coming off already too. Paid 85 dollars for regular pedi,gel take off, and new powder put on. I went back to tell them about it, and was told I had to come back in an hour or they can't do nothing about it if I wait until Monday. Needles to say there was a lady there that was waiting for two hours to be taken cared of. Taking my business elsewhere. read more

First time there and will definitely be back. I had a pedicure and gel fill-in. Prices are very reasonable and the staff is very friendly. They did a great job with my pedicure. Another plus is they are only 5 minutes from home. read more

So I went into the salon today after exclusively using this nail salon since they opened. The owner suggested last time that I make time to soak off my nails so fungus doesn't grow underneath and I keep nails on all the time. I went in thinking that is what would happen. I told the owner I wanted to soak off my current nails and have a new set put on. I thought that would be less damage to my nails than sanding or peeling them off. I also wanted to keep the length of my existing nails. I waited for around 30-40 mins to be helped. Finally a gentleman began working on my nails. I told the owner in the next chair over again what I wanted. The gentleman started clipping the ends of my nails. He then used the sander to take off the polish and outer layers. Then he pulled out a fake nail and began prying off my nails. I said ouch several times and he smiled at me each time. By the time he started on the second hand I had enough. I said ouch and that is hurt. The client in the next chair asked if I had wanted to have them soaked off (which I asked for multiple times). I said yes since that would probably do less damage to my nails then prying them off. I said it hurt too much and I was done. The owner said "I'll do your nails". I reiterated my sentiments and brushed off the nail pieces that landed on me and left the shop. I guess I will be looking for a new shop after I get the rest of the nails off my left hand. read more

This place said they have opening for 2pm appointment and it's 2:50pm. Im still waiting, do not even bother making an appointment or even coming. No prioritization, no organization, or respect. This is a slap in the face to make me wait almost an hour just to sit while I took the time to even schedule here. read more

I gave them one more chance and, again, it took 4 hours to get a mani/pedi and the colors don't even match. They start you out and than bounce between clients, they're not clean, overpriced and rude. I'm done!! Not even one star !! Don't waste your money !'n read more

I was recommend to this Nail Salon by my sister. We used to go to another place but the service there got really bad and the prices went super high. So she told my boyfriend about Midway Nails and Spa to surprise me for my anniversary to get my nails and toes done. The lady who did my toes was great and always asked if i liked it or if i wanted it done a certain way. The manager did my nails i believe her name is Jean. She was awesome and very polite. She asked me how I wanted my nails done and when I told her, she did it exactly how I wanted them. I really like that a lot because A lot of places I been to don't follow what the customer wants. That's how you make good money and tips by doing what the customer wants. She made me feel pretty and I loved the color and shape of my nails. I forgot one other thing the manager made me feel welcomed and I will not go anywhere else now. Thank you Midway Nail and Spa for making me feel beautiful. read more

TERRIBLE PLACE TO GO!!! Cut my TOENAIL twice AND I WAS BLEEDING SOOO BAD the second time. I gave them another chance after the first time they cut me and what a mistake. The wait is HORRIBLE 4 to 5 hours with an appointment time. JADE will call and text u to come get your nails done to keep the business up and running but then push u on to other nail technicians that barely know how to do nails. Jade will rush on your nails and have them with lumps and bumps from doing a rush job. Save yourself the headache I will rather travel to my old nail technician for better service then to go there again. I will NEVER GO BACK THERE. read more

First and last time coming here. I decided to try out this nail salon since it was close to home, but I regret going. I got a manicure (dipping) and the woman doing my nails did a terrible job. First, she didn't even give me a bowl of water to soak my hands in before she started. When she started, she only filed my nails then began the dipping process right away. She did not clean up my cuticles or skin around my nails. I've had my nails dipped several times at a different salon and I've never had it take as long as it did here. The woman seemed to be complicating the process and she even had to redo one on my nails when she finished. While she was doing my nails, one of my fingers started bleeding. She simply laughed and didn't even bother cleaning it. My finger continued to bleed and she didn't even do anything about it. When she was done, she didn't even use lotion on my hands. She was just worried about me paying her. As I was getting my money out, she saw me look at the lotion and asked if I wanted lotion. I said yes and she put lotion on one hand, massaged it for not even 10 seconds, and didn't even care to do the other hand. She also asked me if I wanted my eyebrows done, which I find very rude. I never mentioned anything about my eyebrows so she was clearly implying I needed them done or she was just being money hungry. My sister came with me and we were planning on paying together and I told the woman doing her nails that. The woman still asked at least 5 times who was going to pay for my sister after I had already told her. I did not find the environment relaxing, especially because they were blasting the sports channel on the tv. I'm sticking with my other salon after this experience! read more

So this was my first time at this nail salon since i like to try out new salons every now and then. my mom and i went in and told them what we wanted. i showed the lady a picture of what i wanted and she asked me what is that, as she pointed to the ring finger of the design. she was being kind of difficult so i just decided to pick a new design. i showed the woman the second design and she said okay. she started working on my nails pretty well until it came to shaping. in the picture the nail shape was coffin and it was going to be 5 dollars extra for coffin shape so i told her i wanted the same design but in square. she said okay and started to file the sides. while she was filing, the file kept getting on my skin and it really hurted and i wanted to tell her to stop, but i needed my nails done because i start school next week. she put the gel on pretty well and then started filing the sides again. she left my left pinky nail looking kinda fat compared to my right pinky. in the picture i showed her, the color was baby pink. the nail color she put on my nails was a seashell color. when it came to the rhinestones on my nails, i told her i wanted big and small ones, but she didn't listen and just put small ones in the design SHE wanted. i wanted my ring finger nails covered in rhinestones, and they aren't. she also requested to put the nail color under so the nail won't look transparent i guess. my nails look nothing like the picture i showed her and i will not be returning. DONT GO HERE!!!!! read more

You get what you pay for. Although the standard pedicure is reasonably priced at $25, the quality of the work is subpar. I had a pedicure done today and I had to tell the person doing my pedi how to file my nails so they would be even. She cut my nails but barely file them. Then I had to tell her to remove the ingrown nails that were causing some pain. Shouldn't she have seen that? Also, while she was painting my toes there were some errors that I had to point out to her. When I got home, my husband said my toe nails looked like they had already grown out since the edges of them were unpainted. I returned there to get the edges painted and while she was doing it, she was complaining to her coworkers in a language I didn't understand. If you are paying for a service, shouldn't you expect it to be quality service? read more
