Staff was nice and friendly. Clean. They were pretty busy, yet staffed to meet the demand. We were seated for service about 15 mins after signing in. (If that long) offered a complimentary beverage (white, red, or water) Variety of services offered. Pedi met expectation. Will come back and try the fruit jelly pedi... just to say I did it. File no cut on this visit. Kristin earned this establishment 5 stars because of her hands Deluxe pedi 37 fair included paraffin wax and hot towel wrap and the other normal stuff. Felt nice. read more

If I could post zero stars I would, because one star is giving them too much. I went in today to get my nails done. I asked the guy for a certain color and how I wanted it done. I hate when they don't listen to what I asked for. he tells me that black on black would not show up. I've done it multiple times. I know what I would like. Then I said fine just refill it with the same color. He proceeds to not listen and puts clear at certain points instead of actually putting a fresh layer on top of it . at no point did we discussed the price because you just want your nails done correctly that's important to the story, so I am telling him the whole time about it's crooked its showing threw etc. My nails were not crooked when I walked in there .if you're not used to dealing with long nails, please stop working on long nails. We are not the ones to practice on so he continues. I keep asking him to correct it. I keep asking him to fix it. I keep asking.he's getting frustrated and I'm frustrated so at this point I'm just ready to leave, the lady asked you know did everything go OK? I said no I explain to her why and I don't know why another person was brought in because I was simply going to pay for it. I did not ask them to fix it, but I did not have the energy to devote to how bad my nails look. She comes up there and tries to tell me because I asked for the same color that's why they looked crappy. I was like so you mean to tell me that I would've had to tell you to upgrade it so that my nails look normal. I would not have thought that even though I asked for a refill and I kept the same color that meant to do a bad job.I leave the store not realize that there are literal humps at the base of my nails, where they refilled it like he didn't smooth anything out. I turn back around ask the lady ma'am, so you don't see these big humps at the end of my nails. She proceeded to tell me it's because I have the same color because they just put the same color on it because I only pay for the same color we did not discuss a price in the beginning, so why would I have have expected you to put some lumps at the bottom and for me to upgrade it to get them done correctly the lady there was so rude like she could feel it but she was trying to play crazy. it wasn't the normal one who does my nails that was such a horrifying experience that is why I stopped getting my nails done for years because it was so hard to find one that actually listens to the customer. I've never said anything before I've always been respectful, but this was too much. She was a lady who did my nails the last time and had a attitude. please do not man handle people when your doing third nails . I'm always respectful and kind to everyone doesn't matter what you're doing because we're all here just to make a paycheck. Correct the problem and move on. She complained that I was not listening to her, but there's no way that you can explain to me why because I ask for the same color nail that it's not smooth, and it doesn't look even and then say I only paid for same color refills.I would not have ever assumed that I would have had to ask you to upgrade it to get a refill they were powder, so how do you mess that up? read more

I was unimpressed with the quality of work with the pedicure I received. Unfortunately when I left I did not put my glasses on to check the work. Totally my fault because it looked like my 12 year old son had done it. Needless to say I do not recommend this business for pedicures unless you enjoy shoddy craftsmanship. read more

UPDATE: I went to another nail salon-Art Nails (because why would I go back to the same place that botched them on the first place?) to get my nails corrected/reshaped/redone and when I first sat down the nail technician asked if I had done my nails at home....this goes the show the quality of service I received at Milani. 100% won't ever go back. The nail technician at Art Nails was shaking his head at the sight of my nails I had done at Milani. Ridiculous. Not sure what the hype is about. This nail salon is very clean on the inside. I gave it two stars because it's not the worst full set I've ever gotten but it's definitely close. My nail technician skipped many of the steps that I've gotten in every other salon I've ever been in. My nails came out crooked and not all the same shape or length. My thumb nails weren't even filed so they came out in giant rectangles that were much longer that the rest of my nails. Definitely wouldn't go back. read more

I give Milanie Nail Bar a negative rating. The manager is extremely rude, loud, combative and obnoxious. The complete opposite of her husband, who is a nail tech. I had asked for a service that I thought would provide the result that I wanted regarding the length and shape of my nails. The husband explained that although other salons performed that type of work, they did not. I then told him I would do the option he presented. He then told his wife something in their native tongue, and she tried to talk to me as if I were her child. Her voice immediately escalated, stating that's why they asked me what I wanted done when I first checked in. I tried explaining to her that her husband had already explained that what I wanted could not be done. When he agreed with me, she absolutely lost it! She then started arguing with him! She stormed away, still fussing in her native tongue. He apologized. Wow! My option that I agreed to costs more than my original request, but because of her antics, they earned zero dollars from me. I will NEVER return to this place! I should have known to expect this when the owner did not even bother to offer a greeting when I checked in. read more

I live in San Francisco and know good nail work when I see it. Milanie is the absolute best not just in Lake Charles but even better than a lot of nail techs in the Bay Area. Kensie gave EXACTLY what I wanted. Her work is impeccable. Thank you so much. I am looking forward to my next trip back to LC for my next set. read more

Most places only have one or two good techs, but Milani has five amazing ones that I am never ever disappointed with. If you're with Ryan, Haley, or Tara, then you're going to love your nails for sure! read more

I'm new to lake Charles and I been to about three nails shops and none could get it perfect like Lee. Someone recommended Hannah but she's pregnant and was busy so then I asked for Tara and she was busy so Lee was available so I like cool and now he has a new customer cause he did them sooooo perfect and I'm picky. So if you pick this nail bar you have lots of options and I'm glad the lady at Vision Works recommended this place. I'm sold! read more

Got a little cut this last time i went and It hurt for a few days and bled but I'll live. Was dissapointed they didand offer a credit to my account since i have seen the nail techs name on here for the same thing before. She cleaned her station after me but It's a wee bit pricey but i enjoy spending time in there. They all do amazing work and my gel pedicure has lasted almost a month now! They have SO many color powders to choose from and i don't know how they do it but my nails are perfectly filed every single time. Worth the 45 minute drive. read more

This Nail Bar has plenty of parking short wait times and numerous Services they provide which in my opinion upgraded it's simple mani pedi to a whole new level. Friendly professional, clean new facility, very hygienic which is much appreciated and any setting of this nature. the reason I'm not providing a 5-star rating is because the nail design I wanted required a certain color that was not available however the services that I was provided made up for that flaw ( the technician stated they would be ordering it sometime this month) read more

Can i give zero stars? I was visiting my family and Daughter and I decided to give this place a try. I got an SNS dipping powder Mani for $50. I now regret giving a tip on top of that. I have used this powder for more than 16 months from salons around houston. It lasts 3 to 4 weeks every time. Within 36 hours one nail was cracked and chipped. Within 48 hours three nails look like this. See picture. I corresponded with the salon via email explaining the situation and asked for a credit on my account so that I could get a new manicure next time I was in Lake Charles. They offered me a whole $3 credit as a maximum offer and acted like that was being generous because of their refund policy that was clearly posted. Poor customer service for a small business in a small town where people talk. Do not patronize this business read more

Beware If you are taking a minor to get their nails done here, DO NOT let them separate you. They are PREDATORS It is unbelievable how simple they act when you confront them. Long story short. My 11 year old was getting her nails done for the first time for her Bday Gift. She was suppose to get a full regular set with regular polish. I told her nail tech. They took me first and I told them take her (1st sign) they insisted I go first. I was then separated from her and placed at a different seat. (2nd sign I missed) She ended up with and expensive set of nails. When I questioned what happen - they said that she is a costumer abs we asked her. Like really. I replied, I told you what she was getting as I'm paying. There reply was - she was the costumer and I should have told my daughter. That was the reply. Never again I REPEAT - If you are taking a minor to get their nails done here, DO NOT let them separate you. They are PREDATORS read more

I had been before for a regular pedicure and it was good, but this time I got the deluxe for my birthday and it was amazing. They brought balloons and everyone was so excited and attentive. The tech who did my shellac was very detailed oriented and they had the chrome/pear powders I like. Somehow she was able to tackle the overgrown cuticles on my pinky toes. We had drinks and it was a 5-star treatment (aside from almost not being able to drink because she didn't read my ID right lol). read more

I never rate for any nail bar but I had to rate here because I've never had such an amazing experience at a nail bar. I got the VIP pedicure and I've never seen any nail store use hot stone, collagen, and fresh cucumber! It was such an amazing experience and worth every penny! I've had my pedicure done all over the country, including Beverly Hills, and this was the best experience ever! I don't think any place spends this much time and effort to make sure you have an amazing experience. I will definitely come back here whenever I get a chance to visit. read more

Nail tech had an attitude & argued about how he shouldn't have to shorten a nail that was way longer than others, he painted the white on my nails for French tips which I have never seen anyone do, probably because it came out so crooked. read more

I have been three times to this place because I wanted to give them another chance, but have been disappointed every time. My shellac manicure didn't even last 4 days and the staff was not friendly at all. On top of that, this place charges more than other places that would do a much better job. read more

*** UPDATE *** They offered a '$10 credit to my customer account'. The offer was valid for 30 days. I declined. First (and ONLY) visit yesterday. Drove 1.5 hours to have my nails done here based on great reviews. Their color selection was great, and I was glad to see more than 2-3 techs working (there were many). Very pleasant staff. However, my particular tech (Sandy) nicked the cuticle in same spot on my thumb 3 TIMES (each time I jerked my hand away and told her that it was too close) and it was obvious because it started to bleed after the first. She didn't thin down or shape the top of most of my nails where the cuticle meets the beginning of the nail, so as it grows out it will be sharp and leave a significant ridge that will catch on everything. When she applied the polish, several of my nails look 'irregular' because she polished all the way to the cuticle in part of each nail, but left the other part further away from the cuticle. Only 3 of my nails were actually even and filed/shaped symmetrically (I even asked to use the file to round off many of the edges myself because all she kept doing was filing the nails shorter, but in the same lopsided shape. *additional note: there is also no switch plate covering the light switch in the restroom; it's an open switch with wires visible. Not a good combination with reaching for the light in a dark room and/or damp hands from just washing. I won't be returning here. Having a good color selection isn't worth having a bad job done. I don't mind paying a little more and having to wait longer in my own area to get a great manicure. read more

I really really wanted to love this place, I came in sceptical and was pretty nervous seeing as this is a newer salon. But reviews are good, my friends have recommended this place. So this afternoon around 5:30 pm I came into Milani and I just wanted my eyebrows and lip waxed, I admit I haven't gone in a while, so I was a blank canvas. My eyebrows were thick and could easily have been transformed into something wonderful. I sat in front of the door which was open for some weird reason, I waited maybe five minutes and a lady came and grabbed me for my wax. I go in and sit at the little table, the entire time I was getting waxed people kept walking passed the doors, assembly to wash their hands? I'm not sure, but anyways she worked on my eye brows for a bit then my lip. After my lip she came back with tweezers on my eye brows, the normal stuff, she grabbed my skin with the tweezers so many times. Yet I stayed, I was to enraptured with the lure of fleeky eyebrows. During this time she kept forcefully pushing my head up, over and over and over and over again, you can imagine how sore my neck was after this. Yet the entire time my neck was being tortured and my skin was being pulled into the tweezers she wore an apron that said, "Keep calm and be pampered at Milani Nail Bar" I was very calm but I absolutely did not feel pampered. I will say the place was clean and everyone was polite. When I finished she showed my my brows of course I can't tell without my glasses, behind my glasses they look fine, but when I went next door to Krogers I got a weird look at the lady at the cheese counter, the man at the seafood bar, and the cashier at the end of my trip. I assumed my face was red and puffy since I had just been waxed like 15 minutes earlier. No, this was not the case! I got home and my husband saw me and before he even greeted me he asked what happened to my eyebrows, he literally said, "No, you didn't do them yourself again, did You?" I knew then there was a serious problem. One of my eye brows is noticably thicker than the other, I can't see it behind my glasses but apparently every one else can. So now here I am, walking around looking like I plucked my own eye brows! I have never ever had this problem before! How am I supposed to go out in public tomorrow knowing that my eyebrows look like some awkward trend I'm trying to start? Or as if I overplucked one side and am waiting for it to grow back out?! My husband is laughing at me, who knows how many people at Kroger were laughing at me, why didn't the people I spoke to before leaving the salon notice this?! Guess I paid for a waxing just to have to fix the problem myself. This is not a way to solicit return service Milani! read more

Went Sunday, second time I've been here. the nail tech didn't care For what he was doing. I asked for square round and they look like chiclets on my nails they are so square. They were sharp too on the edge so I told the lady who checked me out at the end how much would it be for me to come get them reshaped. She put on my receipt 5 days to come do back to reshape them. I just went back, they gave me the same tech. I told him I wanted it more round and they are sharp on the edges. He barely touched the edges and again, didn't care. I will not be back nor tell others to go. It hasn't even been 48 hours and my nails already look like they need to be filled. Disappointed big time. read more

I believe this one is the main location but the other location on prien lake road is usually less busy. But i went to The M nail bar on prien lake and OMG the worst customer service ever I guess because i was with my mom and i had my mask on the nail tech guy (heavy set, shoulder/ arm tattoo and was the one sitting at the table at the back table by himself) treated me like a 14 year old girl when i'm 26. He was rushing for no reason, forgot my design, continued to pull my arm because didn't have a proper rest for my elbow.... used a towel?!?! and was watching netflix..... YES i wish i could've recorded it i couldn't believe my eyes but the first picture is what i showed him the 2nd is what he did....... never again. i said in the shape almond but exactly like that, he kept repeating he hates almond then proceed to forget the design i had to remind him then was like " oh okay "and does two uneven slashes across my nails .

Ok so I'm visiting the area and I prepared to have some services done while here. This place popped up first and when asking locals it was referred. It's a very large place over 10 pedicure stations and about 20 nail stations. But the service is really subpar. I arrived at 8:30, and it was a LINE and the place don't open until 9. There was a good system of getting everyone's services needed in the order they came but the front area IS TOO SMALL. Then when I get with the lady assigned to me she did my hands and feet. RUSHED both, which I hate. And when I made suggestions she told me what I NEED to do and not what I ask. Now my nails are very thin and I usually wear sns, but I wanted it off and got a manicure. The manicure was rushed , the polish job is awful! The lady with me had very bad energy and was very rough. I paid $33, for toe polish and a manicure, that's higher than I'm used too, esp for not good work. BUT The place is cute and the staff are nice (2 stars), I saw good work at other stations by my experience gets a thumbs down read more

This place is way too hit or miss. I have been maybe 4-5 times and I have a mixed review every time I leave. I had a pedicure 2 weeks ago and it was great. I had dip powder put on my nails 2 days ago and it was horrible. The technician cut me and I bled which is exceptionally annoying. Then she dipped my nails so many times the color went from nude sparkle to dark brown grossness. I've attached a photo of what my cuticles look like from her picking and drilling. Definitely not a $40 job. Try to find another place to give your business that does consistent work. Some techs are good here and some are not. I don't feel like wasting $ on a half trained technician that doesn't do a good job. read more

So I'm giving Milanie 4 stars not because they don't do amazing work because they do but I feel they need to work on their customer service a tad and they are kinda expensive but you get what you pay for i love my nails only think I wish I was spoken to a little kinder.I must say my first time there a older man did my nails and he was so sweet and kind but the second time a lady did my nails and I absolutely loved them but she wasn't very friendly I feel like anyone going to nail salon they want to have a friendly comfortable atmosphere and I know the salon is growing really fast and is super busy so that's my only thing I feel the workers need to work on the receptionist is very sweet though. read more
