This is the best nail salon experience I've had in a very long time! I called ahead and was in Brielle's chair 20 mins later--she was gentle, detailed oriented and very friendly. The salon is beautiful, spacious, and extremely clean! I highly recommend this nail bar Of course--this place is 100% Trinity approved read more

First of all, I had an appointment at 5:30, and didn't even get seated until 6:25. I had a gel manicure done there about 9 days ago by Coc**. Half of the polish chipped off, so I called and said that I would like it corrected. I stated that I wanted to get something different because there could be an issue with the polish. I was told I would have to pay if i wanted a different color. Went back, and decided that I would get a polish change to a cat eye color. I was charged for the following: nail polish change fee gel polish upcharch gel polish removal fee cat eye polish additional fee Coc** , who was doing my nails again tried to throw an additional $15 dollar "design fee" to use the magnet on the cat eye polish. I told her that the additional upcharge for cat eye polish included the magnet to make the effect. I was already charged a gel polish fee, as well as a cat eye polish fee. I have never been charged a design fee on top the upcharge for the cat eye fee. The lady tried to tell me that the additional cost of cat eye only covered the polish and that it was just glitter and they would not use the magnet if i did not pay the additional $15., I told them just forget it, i would just get the old jail polish color that had chipped so bad before I was going to pay all of those upcharges to correct chipped gel manicure. The lady that was doing my nails was going back and forth with the owner in a different language and getting loud and arguing in another language, and huffing and puffing around, and it was extremely embarrassing. They truly made me feel like I was trying to steal services from them because I stood up for myself against all these upcharges. The owner finally agreed that i would just pay the for the cat eye color without charging for the design fee, and then discounted it. The lady that was doing my nails seemed really pissy about the whole situation, and was just shoving my hands into the gel cure light. There was gel polish all over my wrist and hands and arms because she was kind of angrily slinging the polish. After she finished, she did not even bother to try and clean off the polish she had slung on me. After all was said and done, I quietly got up and walked to the front and i ended up paying $38 for the cat eye gel polish fee. I gave her a $3.50 tip just because i felt obligated to, but that was 3.00 too much. The owner had to go an get a cotton ball soaked with accetone to try and scrub all of that polish off of me, but i just said forget it, i would clean it up at home. When I got home, I saw that there were little spots of polish all over the side of my shirt from all the polish she got on my wrists and arms. Gel polish will not come off in the wash, by the way. I will say that the young lady that works the front desk was very sweet, and she was kind of caught in the middle. She said that Coc** didn't understand all the upcharges because she didn't speak English well. I don't personally buy that, but again, she was stuck in the middle and trying to advocate for me. I told her that i was embarrased and felt like they were talking about me since they were yelling and going back and forth in another language, and that the tech seemed realled mad at me. I will never step a foot back in this place. I really feel like they were mad about having to correct a bad polish job without getting paid, so they were going to try and stick it to me everywhere they could. Please advocate for yourself and make sure that you understand all the upcharges from these salon and that you get them to explain them to you. The upcharge culture in nail salons is getting ridiculous. They're going to start charging for the water in the foot bath for pedicures, and the massage option in the chairs before long. It doesn't seem as though they care about creating a good experience, and establishing a clientele, because this was just unacceptable. I will be finding a local nail tech on booksy from now on. One that is not an assembly line where they try and get as many people in the chair. read more

Our experience at Modern Nail Bar was mixed. I would say that service depends on who does your nails. On a positive note, they have hooks for your purse and their salon is beautiful inside. I got my gel polish removed, with Eva doing my nails. The gel removal cost only $15, but now I have to go home and fix them because they were not done properly, leaving my nails scarred and ragged. The filing Eva did to get the top layer of gel off was harsh and very fast. She did not let the gel soak for very long, maybe 2 minutes, so she had to scrape harder with the cuticle pusher. She did not ask what shape I'd like my nails, and filed them whatever way she pleased. Some of my nails are different shapes with straight/flat tips and some are rounded. There were no formalities, and Eva didn't say I was done, she just told me to wash my hands and then moved onto her next client. My nails look pretty bad, as she didn't apply cuticle oil to help with the damage from the Dremel. My nails also could have been buffed with a finer grit to make them more smooth. I have had better, kinder, more attentive service elsewhere and do not plan to return. The ambiance is nice, but the service is not great. On another note, Kevin was great and took pride in his work. He did a great job on my mom's acrylic fill. He was gentle and careful and detail oriented. If you come here, ask for Kevin. Eva had terrible customer service, though and I would not recommend her to anyone. Be careful who does your nails here. read more

On New Years Eve, my daughter and I had pedicures. The outcome was great, although the 'massages' were mostly only light touches. I also had an acrylic fill-in. The fill-in was very bad. I knew something was wrong when the tech took the brush beyond my nail bed, nearly to my knuckle. I thought he had cleaned up the mess this made. However; after leaving I realized the acrylic was stuck to my skin and had not been removed. Although other things were wrong as well, the acrylic mess up is very frustrating because it is not something I can easily fix. I spent over $250 in the nail salon that day, but my nails look like a child did them. I'm very very sad. This is a beautiful salon with great complimentary drinks. read more
