I go here every two weeks for a fill in. I'm always pleased with my nails unless Henry does them. I avoid this by calling and asking for an appointment with a specific person. Such a friendly staff! The prices are the most competitive I've seen in the area. SUPER BUSY most evenings so it's best to call ahead instead of walk-ins. read more

Terrible! WORST NAILS IVE EVER HAD! Got a full set 2 weeks ago, went to get a simple fill-in. As he is filing my nails down, i look and notice the majority of all the nails has been filed away, including the squared corners. He starts to get aggravated and says i should have gotten a full set and asks where i got them done prior and how long ago it was. I explained that i got the brand new set exactly 2 weeks ago at their salon. The manager (I'm assuming) kept coming over and looking at my nails, it was obvious there was something wrong. By the time it was finished, he cut me atleast 5 times, 3 of which bled. All different shapes and lengths, lumpy, bumpy, polish was gloopy & all under the nails on my skin. They were square, he rounded one then tried to get the others to match at the last second before polish. I'm never one to say anything negative but it was a horrible experience. read more

Modeste Nails And Spa - Basic mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

I would not let this place clip my dog's nails. If I could give - star rating I would. My daughter had her nails done on 1-24-19 and within less than 2 days she had a nail/skin infection. I took her to the doctor the following week and he had to drain it because the infection had gotten so bad. She ended up on antibiotics and eventually had to see a wound care nurse to help it to heal. I have contacted Modeste more than once and have gotten absolutely no response whatsoever. My daughter just simply wanted a refund for what she paid and it would have been nice for her to be reimbursed for what it cost for the doctor and medications. I guess they don't care about their customers as long as they get paid. I do not know if this was an isolated incident with just this technician because she had been there once before and they did fine or if the place routinely uses dirty tools and she just got lucky the last time she went and didn't get an infection. Whatever the case we will never be back and a whole lot of people have said they won't go there either. The technician that did her nails cut my daughter's finger on her other hand (after he was over halfway done with her nails so she didn't say anything and let him finish). He wiped the blood away with his bare hand because he was not even wearing gloves. Had I been with her I would have definitely said something. That is so unsanitary not only to his customers but also to himself. I'm so disappointed with this place. Not only did they cause a bad infection but as you can see from the pictures below he did a terrible job on her nails. I'm sure there are techs there that do great and unfortunately my daughter doesn't know the name of the person who did her nails, but just be aware that this can happen. Especially if they aren't sanitizing their tools properly. After almost 3 weeks her finger is a lot better now, but it's still not healed and probably won't be for awhile. read more

Preface: I've never had a professional pedicure before coming here, but found myself in fast need of better looking toes before an event later that evening and I wasn't going to have the usual amount of time it takes me to do it myself. I was nervous about going anywhere so I consulted Yelp for reviews. At the time, this was the only 5 star rated place in Ktown that had more than 1 review, so I took a chance (frankly the latest negative review sounds odd for this place, sorta wonder if they got the right salon? Hope not because I like it here). Anyway, bottom line: Overall I'm glad I came here, and I can see myself going back here after my apartment move for some much needed care. Details for those that care: I didn't have an appt but it was about 3pm on a Thursday and they were able to accommodate me immediately. I wish I would have made a note of her name, but a nice lady invited me to pick out a color and come over to the pedicure chair. The basin was lined in removable plastic, so you're not touching the same surface as others. I also saw her go get the trimming implements from a fresh autoclave bag and that made me feel better about safety. I was impressed with how thorough the basic pedicure was, from the amount of time in the water, to the leg massage that was just right pressure for my sensitive legs, to the extremely detailed trimming of my nails, then to the polish application where she followed along and caught any polish strokes that migrated onto my skin. I have what I consider less than ideal toenails, the big one is square shaped and the surface is terribly curved, to the point I have always been in fear of ingrown toenails but have never had them, and my pinkie toe barely has any nail at all. She did cut the corners of my nails quite deeply which made for a more attractive shape, but I did worry that could cause problems. So far, 3 weeks later, they felt a bit weird growing out, like a sensation I have never had before, but haven't had any issues like pain and I'm on my feet a lot lately with moving. Also, the polish still looks perfect, so I feel like I'm getting my money's worth there. I wasn't clear on how long to sit and wait for drying time, but after 30-40 minutes I needed to leave to get to my event and she helped me put my sandals back on and everything turned out perfectly. I paid $28 with a card but made sure to tip her in cash for a job well done. read more

I don't even know where to begin. From the fact that the nail tech told me to "hide my thumb" because he left old nail polish on under my French manicure and I was having pictures done the next day to the owner giving me a massage while my nails were drying under lights...did I mention he had his hand down the back of my shirt and fixed my bra strap? Completely unprofessional. Will never return. read more

A friend and I had pedicures done today. We are so glad we found this place! It is not necessarily a fancy place, but clean and friendly. They use disposable covers in the soaking tubs, sterilized, packaged tools and scrubbers. I had Lin and my friend had Cindy. Even just the basic pedicure (only $27) was a lovely, relaxing experience and our techs did a great job. We will definitely go back! read more

Kim is so nice and personable! Salon is super clean and very relaxing!! I highly recommend it

Terrible. My manicure almost completely chipped away after less than 24 hours. Not to mention my nails were not even filed evenly. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else! read more

I went here due to a nail mishap on my wedding day and I just had to come back! These people are so sweet, not to mention they actually cut my nails the length that I want. Definitely recommend people to go here! read more

Great pedicure and service. Welcoming, clean environment. $28 for basic spa pedicure. Currently have a 10% off on Monday through Wednesday special. Massage chairs while getting pedicure. Took their time with me. Glad to have found this salon. read more

I moved here to Knoxville about a year ago and this was the salon I was recommended to try. I have yet to have a bad experience until today. My best friend and cousin are visiting, so we made an appointment for 3:30. Two of us were getting mani/pedis and one acrylics. I am still sitting here currently in the pedicure chair and have yet to be helped. I am extremely disappointed. read more

Absolutely terrible. Extremely rude. Left my toes a mess. My dad could have painted them better. You always have to wait 30+ mins even if you make an appointment. They rush and do not take their time. He did not say one word to me the entire time. Iv gave this place multiple chances and they disappoint me every time. read more

The polish is so uneven and thick that it looks like a two year old painted my nails. They even managed to get it all over my skin and nicked me several times. Not worth $5 let alone $30 and now I'm going to have to pay someone else just to take it off. read more

Great new salon with nice pedicure chairs. I like the owner and everyone has been nice every time

Don't go here.... just moved to the area from California and they are double the price of GOOD nail salons in Cali. Young Asian girl with bangs was super rude and unpleasant to deal with. Requested a pedicure for my child as he always gets and this chick rudely asked "how old is he?" Then she puts him on a baby seat in the back with no massager. She was really rude, awkward and not interactive , just a miserable presence , ugh. I asked for a parafin foot wax for my child and she again says he's "too young" , at that point I knew she was a miserable lazy worker and also acted more racist than the actual white Americans in TN, lol poor girl, you have serious identity issues , and you are pushing away business for this nail salon, I hope they fire your miserable persona . I went to the front counter to pay and was charged $58 for a gel manicure and a half ass pedicure for my son ..., it was obvious this broad charged me full price for a full spa pedicure, $28 , that was not done for my son and a mediocre gel manicure for me for $30!!! Woah....... don't go here !!!! Save your money and go find yourself some real southern hospitality elsewhere. read more

I don't usually give reviews, especially bad ones but felt I needed to this time. Kim is awesome, but unfortunately they lost my business today. I was told when I walked in they did not have time today, and to come back tomorrow at 10:00. Number one, I can't come at that time because i have a job, and number two, I was not given the option to wait. As I walked out the door, he told me to call next time before I came. Wow!! Very disappointed. read more

My sister Trish referred me to this place a year or more ago. I had tried almost every nail shop in the city. I found one I really like but it was on the opposite side of town from where we live. Kim is amazing...my husband and I get all our mani/pedis at this awesome place. Everyone who works here is very friendly and treat us like family! read more

The owners both male and female (husband and wife) are very rude. Out of all the Nail Salons I've been to in Knoxville this is possibly the worst as far as courtesy towards customers are concerned. I also left with cuts around my nail beds because the tech doing my nails got agitated with me for asking her to change colors as the one she was using was clumpy and very old. She proceed to get very rough with the nail file. There are too many to choose from in Knoxville to endure this kind of service. Some people should avoid running a business. read more
