    Haphazardly placed, gloopy, uneven
    L G.

    $60 for one of the wildest sets I've ever gotten. I do love the color which she custom made but these tips were haphazardly placed, tips are crooked, uneven and worst of all, the gel is gloopy. She didn't even fix my cuticles or do any manicure stuff, which I asked for. I should have waited and gone to a better spot.

    Beautiful builder gel done on natural nails by Emily Been coming for 10+years never let's me down

    I was completely ignored and everything was virtual.

    No response after almost a month of waiting. due to covid i respect everyones appointment only policy, but businesses that do not respond for whatever reason gives me no hope. *Update after my post she responded to my initial virtual message asking me how she can help me, as if the initial virtual message i sent was deleted and never read.

    The woman who did my pedicure was so rough & sloppy. I wish I would have gotten her name but she's one of the newest girls. I don't think she sterilized her equipment because the next day I I woke up with some kind of rash in between my toes. The polish is all sloppy too. I tried reaching out to the owner, Emily, privately but she never got back to me. Also the prices now are ridiculously expensive now. $22 for a pedicure. My advice is speak up if you feel something is wrong. It's sad that I won't be coming back here anymore after coming here since they opened.

    Gel builder on my natural nails, color #473 By DND (Butternut Squash)

    Highly recommend this nail salon. My personal favorite nail artists are Emily, (the owner) and Nina for gel manicures and acrylic nails. They offer many different nail services and styles, including regular gel manicures on natural nails, acrylic nails, dip powder, and my favorite gel builder. The salon also offers: microblading, waxing, eyelash services and other popular beauty services. They recently remodeled, and the aesthetic is clean and modern.

    *Pictures attached" I frequent Model Nails every two weeks. I get a gel mani/gel removal, and get a reg pedi. I even bring people with me to their business that have never been. On 8/19/2019 me and my brother waited nearly 45 mins for a service at a time that wasn't busy I finally get a tech to do my pedi. She eventually scrubbed the hell out of my foot and made it bleed. I was so frustrated I didn't even get my gel mani after the tech made two of my fingers bleed.They did not offer anything, I even called them the next day and they had nothing. They didn't even address the situation while I was there. I won't be going here again

    This is AFTER!

    Let me start off by saying that I would drive one hour away to get my nails done I am THAT picky! My nail tech left so I had to look for something closer and I DID! HANNA hands down the best gel and pedicure nail tech ever. Super happy with her work. This is my second time coming and she didn't disappoint :)

    If I could give negative stars I would. Getting your a mani pedi is a treat not a nightmare I was in the shop for nearly three hours for a gel mani, regular pedi and eyebrows. I left without even getting my brows done. The guy doing my mani messed up and had to restart and still it's sloppy He cut my cuticles and they were bleeding for a long time The lady doing my pedi was ok but she cut me too and same thing I asked for the manager and everyone said she wasn't there that no one was in charge. Please don't waste your time or money here

    Sharareh K.

    I used to go to this place, but I don't wanna come back anymore! I wanted to change my gel color, and the staff said "EASY!", but it seems it wasn't easy for him at all!! My nails look so bad, they're so wavy and my gel looks horrible! It was a waste of time and a waste of money!

    So no one else could help?

They did such a beautiful job, and we really appreciated how kind and attentive everyone was. We'll definitely be coming back!

    From the moment I walked in, the customer service was terrible. No one greeted me. The first thing…read morethey said to me was, "What do you want?" in a rude tone. I showed them a reference photo and clearly said I wanted exactly that design because I know some salons say they can't do certain shapes or colors. Instead of being helpful, they immediately responded, "We can't do it exactly. We do similar," with an unprofessional attitude. Throughout the appointment, the technician kept pulling and jerking my hands instead of handling them gently, which made the whole experience very uncomfortable. To make matters worse, the nail work itself was horrible. The design looked nothing like the reference photo, the shape was unflattering, and the overall quality was disappointing. I came back the same day because I genuinely didn't like the result, but they refused to fix it, saying it was "too soon." I paid for a professional service and received poor customer service, poor workmanship, and zero willingness to make things right. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this salon.

    I don't trust just anyone with my toes, but with my vacation coming up, I decided to treat myself…read moreto a pedicure. I'm so glad I found this salon. I called ahead, and even without an appointment, they told me I could walk right in. As soon as I arrived, I was greeted warmly at the door and taken straight to a chair where Lisa immediately got to work. Lisa was absolutely stupendous. She was incredibly meticulous, took her time, and didn't rush through a single step. She paid so much attention to detail and made sure my feet were truly taken care of. You can tell she genuinely cares about the quality of her work, and that kind of service is hard to find these days. This was my first visit, but it definitely won't be my last. They've gained a loyal customer. The massage chair was an added bonus and made the whole experience even more relaxing. If you're looking for someone who is thorough, gentle, and takes pride in giving a fantastic pedicure, I highly recommend asking for Lisa!

The first time, I had an appointment and had to wait for 45 minutes before the nail tech I booked with can begin working on me. The second time, I was assured I wouldn't have to wait and would be seen right away. I still had to wait 20 minutes. This final time, I called and asked for an appointment time when the nail tech was actually open and available. I stressed the fact that I could not wait. They assured me she would be available. I show up at said time, and was asked to wait next to booth where she was working. I can see she was still working on a full set. The owner then told me she was just polishing, even though I could see she was not ready to polish yet. I was asked to wait. She then tried to get someone else to do my nails. But I am very picky, so I knew this would be a bad idea. I ended up leaving before I wasted another 30 minutes of my life. Overall, they do a decent job. But if you are in a time crunch and make appointments expecting to be seen on time, expect to be disappointed. This is not good place for people who value appointment times and being on time.
