    Cherisse N.

    One of the worst sets I've ever gotten. The service was very rushed and I hate to talk down about someone's work but my nail tech personally was a a little aggressive w/ the way she was grabbing and tossing back my hands and her technique compared to other nails techs was not good. The glitter I chose was not used, the shape is lopsided and they are not all the same length, the tips are far too big and uneven and also not the V-Tip I wanted. To do the tips she covered almost my entire nail bed with white polish and tried to sloppily clean it up with a brush and acetone, leaving a white cast over the rest of the nails. When I mentioned this she said it was because the acetone is not clear and the clear nail polish will fix it. I again asked that she clean it up more and she sloppily and hurriedly went over it again with the acetone but didn't clean up not one thing. Two of nails also smeared under the light because she put so much polish on and it was so thick and I had to mention it 3 times for her to fix it. She asked me "why?" and blamed me for not putting my hands under the LED light correctly. I get my nails done often and never have this issue. The sides of nails have no polish on them at all. I could go on and on about how horrible my nails were after getting them done here. I will be going to another nail salon to get them reshaped and to remove this awful polish job because looking at them makes me upset all over again. I'm never stepping foot in this place again.

    This is how I left Modern Nails. I went in with acrylics and asked for a soak off and buff. I was asked three times if I wanted any other services and I repeated that I just wanted a soak off and buff. I was treated poorly from staff after that. The man I sat with grounded my acrylics so they were very then and then used a fake nail and shoved it between my acrylic and natural nail to pop the acrylics off. He then used a file on my nail bed, leaving scratches and cutting my skin around my nails. No soaking, no oil, no buffing. Would not recommend this place to anyone if you want your nails to be healthy or look good when you leave. 0/5 stars if I could.

    Picture says it all. My hand was put in a bowl to soak in finger nail polish remover or some chemical. I thought it was water. Also my nails are paper thin. She used a drill to start sanding after I told her not to. This damage was done in 5 minutes. Fingers hurt and my natural nails ruined. BEWARE

    Told the tech I wanted a Solid nude, no see throughs, and what do I get? A see through...

    I have been to this place a handful of times In a couple of years. The first couple of times they did ok, that's why I came back a few more times. The last few times however I have left unhappy with my services. In today's issue, I asked for a black French tip, no chip mani and a regular pedi. 5 minutes after walking in my tech had asked me 3 times what color I was gonna choose. Umm, excuse me, do you not see me looking? I seriously had to ask him for a 'second'. The pedi water was burning hot. He rushed through the pedi. My mani came around. The water to soak my hands in was cold. I asked for a solid nude base with the black tips. I did not want a see through shade. What did I get? A See through nude. I had to ask him to do a second coat on the black tips because the first coat was so thin it looked purple. He didn't even clean underneath the gunk in my nails. Then he cleaned 4 of them and was done. I had to sit there and take it out myself. Everyone is yelling to each other and they never listen to what you're saying. They want you in and out because they need to rack up that cash. After this time I will never go back there. Time to hunt for a decent nail salon...

    Nails done on 1/22/2020. Nails on 1/30/2020.

    I came in on 1/22/2020 to get a dip nail treatment. I had dip nails previously from a much nicer salon (They were all still fully intact over a MONTH after). I am not from this area, but needed to get my nails done as soon as possible. You get what you pay for here. Within DAYS, 4 of my new dip nails had completely popped off of my real nail. Terrible service. Not good quality. Would not recommend. Disappointed.

    Acrylic pink and white.

    1 STAR I'm honestly…read morehighly disappointed with the service I received. I came in expecting a full set and a pedicure, but the experience was nowhere near what I expected. The girl doing my nails literally did nothing but file my nails down. I honestly felt like I needed someone else to step in and take over. The pedicure took maybe 10 minutes, and it was easily one of the worst pedicures I've ever had. There was little to no effort put into the service. What really made me uncomfortable was when the manager told the nail tech that she was supposed to be doing my full set, and her response was, "Umm, okay?" The lack of confidence in that response immediately made me question whether she knew what she was doing. At that point, I decided I wasn't comfortable allowing her to do my full set, so I left without getting it done. I understand that everyone has to start somewhere, but when I'm paying for a professional service, I expect effort, confidence, and quality. Unfortunately, I didn't receive any of those today. I left extremely disappointed and will not be returning. They were extremely nice but when I'm paying for a service I need you to know what you're doing.

    This is my favorite nail place in Rockford. They are very clean- they line the pedicure tubs with…read moreplastic, use autoclaved instruments, and often wear gloves. I have diabetes and have gotten infections from other locations in Rockford- never from here. The interior is cute. They respond promptly to Facebook messages. Depending on who you get, I've had my gel nails last anywhere from 2-4 weeks without chipping at all. Massages for manicures and pedicures vary based on who is performing them and how busy they are. I would definitely recommend making an appointment. Edit: this place is really hit or miss depending on who you get. Some of the employees do not listen or understand what you may be asking for. If the owner is there she will usually set things straight, but otherwise it's a bit difficult. My last appointment took 2 hours for a pedicure and no-chip, but it was because I walked in during a super busy time. Edit 2: since I had a different person this time, the manicure didn't last as long. I got a chip after 1 week. However, the pedicure is holding up better. Trade offs I guess! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Ahhh.. I've been going here for years! Before every vacation and never had a problem. I would get…read moreno chip pedi, and a regular manicure... this time. 12/07/2024 I went to get a regular manicure.. he started to do gel (I don't like gel) once I noticed, I declined and stated just regular. Well he then just rushed the polish on my nails and sent me away. Later that day the polish started cracking on my nails... so now I have cracked clear polish.. I don't understand how hard it is to get a nice manicure.. especially charging 32$ for something so simple. Part of me wants to go back and get it fixed.. but I rather not. I'll find a new nail place.
