Nail Citi - New York style duck Nails. - Nail Salons Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

If given zero stars was an option then that's really what this would be. I went in for a basic fill on the acrylic set I have. 2 hours! It took the girl 2 hours to do my nails! She replaced 2 nails for absolutely no reason and the shape is hideous. The girl never communicated with me about my nails but had no trouble talking to her coworkers about me. Normally everyone is very friendly and efficient but I guess that all goes out the window when the owner isn't around. read more

Poor quality nails, one nail broke 20 minutes after and that was after having them fix my nails because they were uneven and the polish was peeling off I got frenchies in black with acrylic. As well as my toes, also uneven and a hair was on one of my toes, I've been here twice both times we're not pleasant but the second time was worse. Also got ring of fire on my nail and one of the gentleman were being way too aggressive with my nails and the filing was way too much it hurt had to tell him multiple times to go easy, first time though my jewelry on them lasted decently which was nice but overall not great experience. read more

‼DO NOT COME HERE, ILLEGAL PRODUCTS IN USE‼ I am a nail artist in training and had a friend come in asking for a soak off of her UGLY nails nail citi provided (short brown base nails with ugly salmon french tips and diamonds for $85!). Well after the soak off what a surprise to see the base be STICKY! THEY USE MMA MONOMER HERE WHICH IS ILLEGAL AND DANGEROUS FOR NATURAL NAIL BEDS! This place is not even talented AND is using illegal products. Genuinely want to report them for the distress I had to go through with the soak off AND the distress my friend had to go through with her experience‼ read more

I'm not one to really write reviews, but when you spend as much as you do here and see the quality of work you have to. I've given this place 3 tries hoping for a better outcome but every single time I've gone here my gel has chipped within 48 hours. I also got infected cuticle after my last visit. My last visit was chaos, a chair was being repaired, boxes everywhere, phone calls on speaker, infected cuticle, and I had them redo a whole hand before I left. Extremely disappointed :( read more

I usually do not post things like this. I got my nails done and 3 days later 4 nails broke! Brand new set after peeling oranges. Stay away from here. The nails were $120 and I'm so disappointed:( said would have went back to the man who did my nails and have him fix them but forget it. The nail place around the corner is opened by the same owner and I've been going to them and zero issue so tho is a huge disappointment. read more

Really disappointed from the service we received here last Wednesday evening. I had made an appointment for my daughter and I a few days prior and received confirmation. When we arrived it was busy, they told us to go pick colors then sat my 6 year old daughter at a table away from me while I was in a chair to get a pedicure. Water was cold, they did not do any of the service I selected. It was like they just squeezed us and whoever had "an appointment" in. I was then charged $27 for fingers painted and $27 for toes painted for a child. Then $45 for my pedicure that was totally rushed. $99 for all of that- while not even a week later most of the paint has peeled off. I will never return nor will I recommend this to anyone. Not a great experience at all. read more

Do not go here if they are busy.. the quality will suffer!! My nail job probably bordered on the worst I've ever had. They look like cheap Walmart press ons. I came in the day before Easter. They were packed. Like PACKED.. to the point it was hard to make it down the center isle. I asked for a full set and my daughter asked for a shellac. They must have misunderstood because they simply grabbed the color and quickly painted her nails in a quick 2 minutes (literally) and didn't even put a topcoat on her nails to seal the color on. The head lady started my nails. She hardly filed them down, didn't push back or cut my cuticles, nor did she completely cover my nail properly. It took probably 10-15 minutes from start to finish of attaching the full set and filing the shape. A nice man came over and I showed him the pattern I wanted and he did that well. That was one good thing I can say about it. Really... the photos speak for themself. This was ONE DAY (seriously 24 hours) after having them done there. And my daughter's 3 days after having hers painted. AWFUL work. They charged me $70 for this. $70!!!!!! I paid it and got the heck out. For that kind of money I would really expect SO MUCH MORE. If you have expectations, skip this place. read more

Nail Citi - Full set of acrylic nails done by Ken. - Nail Salons Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

I was charged 100$ for nails that were very poorly done. She was very clearly the manager or boss of the nail salon and she rushed through them, I was not given the service I paid for my nails or my toes. My nails were covered with nail polish when she finish. After she rushed through my manicure and pedicure she then laid in a chair and closed here eyes. Cleary she had better things to go. Very disappointed. Would not recommend. read more

I had heard good things about Nail Citi from friends that go there, I had personally never been there. I wanted to treat myself to birthday nails and called to see if they had any availability, they did. I signed in and was told to pick out my color. I got to wall of colors and was told by another employee to have a seat. I told him I didn't have a color picked out yet and he said there were too many colors we'd do ombré ? I sat down at his station with a few pallets of colors in my lap and he was getting me set up for ombré nails? I had proceed into telling him two times in total I didn't schedule for ombré nails just a full Aryclic set with a solid polish color. He rushed through my set like he was being timed the how time, it stressed me out. I asked for length short, almond in shape. I paid $60 for a set that don't even resemble almond shape. I am even missing a chunk of Aryclic out of my nail from his end filing on my left hand. I will never go there again or recommend clients there. If you are looking for a relaxing self care moment that is not the salon to go to! TERRIBLE read more

Hmmm. Few things that sort of make me wonder about this place. First off, came with my wife and we received polite and cordial, even friendly service from the two individuals that managed our visit. What bothers me: cash only. Hello, it's 2019. Who deals cash only unless they're playing money games with their taxes? I could suggest more but it shouldn't have to be brought up in order for you to figure it out. Especially unusual for a nail salon: "if you don't have cash, no problem, just come back when you have it." Wow, OK. Temporary liners in the pedicure basins that are made of plastic, but if they're being changed out between customers, I didn't witness it, and the water hanging around in it suggests other things could be lingering in there, like someone else's bacteria and more. Not the level of sanitation I'd expect from a salon. Crammed like you wouldn't believe. There's barely room to move in here and combined with the oddly patterned floor tile, worn out in spots, the feeling is like you're in a crazy hoarder's version of a salon. Weird. Oh, and the massage chairs are beyond their useful date to my eye. Mine was more like sitting in a torture chair when it was on and moving. No thanks. This is not to detract from the lovely two people that did our pedicures. Quite nice, in fact, and we tipped them nicely as they deserved. It's the owner here I have an issue with. Even stranger, said owner apparently owns at least 3, maybe 4 other similar nail salons around town. So all in all, a strange visit, they got the job done, but don't think I'd return and certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone else. Your mileage may vary. There are other options in town that feel a little more legitimate and we intend to move our business there and consider this a one-time visit that was amusing at best, a tad creepy at the worst. read more

The male who did my nails was friendly at first. When I decided on a different color after he showed me a sample, he had a pouting fit and became rough and rude. There are other places to go where the staff is courteous and I'm not going back. read more

When you walk in you'll immediately be greeted by nail technicians (and the smell of nail polish remover). They'll ask you to sign in and put down what service you request. Then they'll tell you to pick a color and wait for a technician to be available. I've never had wait for service because they're always fully staffed with about 10 technicians to help. I was hesitant to try a new nail salon in Lawrence because I've had experiences with them being expensive, unhygienic, and subpar. (Around $45) Here, you can get gel removal and a new set of gels for $25! while my nail shape isn't perfect and sometimes the polish is little off, you're paying for what you get and I think it's a great value. The nail technician that helped me the first time still remembers me. She used a specific base coat help strengthen my nails and it has worked wonders. She still checks in every time I visit to see how my nails look. Every time I visited I've seen one of the employees cleaning the stations, the floor, and other surfaces in the shop. I have not seen a speck of dust yet. For each manicure and pedicure they use new nail files and have changeable liners for the pedicure tubs. I would, and have recommended, this salon to my friends. They are quick, cordial, and inexpensive. These women work all day everyday and I really appreciate their services. read more

Please dont go to this place to get your nails done. You will be disappointed. the owner did my daughter's nails. The nails was so thick, uneven, botch paint job, didn't even give a manicure and it chipped the next day. on top of this the audacity for them to charge her $70. She The owner refused to refund the money. She said if I refund you, everybody will want their money back. She also said "she sign the sign in sheet" and on top of the sheet it does say "no refund". But it is not visible. They offered to redo her nails, but decline because you already did a horrible job why would I want you to refix it. As I was leaving, one of the employee said "Your dissatisfied and made a face and said wah wah wah!" read more

I hadn't gotten my nails done in at least five years, took a chance on nail citi for a full set. They were able to get me in right away, however the nail technician who was applying my nails had her phone propped up on her workstation, her earbuds in and she was watching a movie or TV show the entire time she was doing my nails. She was watching her phone screen more than she was actually looking at my nails, which resulted in them being extremely thick and uneven. Because she wasn't paying attention to what she was doing she kept having to apply more acrylic, they are SO thick. She also only e-filed the opposite side of each finger she was holding, never traded the tool to her other hand to file both sides evenly, so each of my nails has a flat side with a huge hump of acrylic down the middle and the other side is rounded. On every single nail. She also kept trying to talk me into gels (even after I said no multiple times) which is $10 more - I'm glad I didn't waste any more money here after already spending $50 on something I'm going to have to get redone at another salon. She clearly only wanted to get more money out of me and did not care about her craft, the quality of her product, or the final result. Watching her phone was more important than being at work, which unfortunately is going to cost me double what I've already paid since I have to get my nails redone somewhere else. Go to a salon that cares about their guests and takes pride in their work, not to this place that makes you feel like an inconvenience for interrupting their Netflix phone time. read more

Extensive service menu. Luxury add-ons if you want. I've had two mani-pedis here and both have been great; no complaints at all. Salon is tidy and clean. Extensive variety of polish colors, brands, and types (regular, gel, powder, etc,) The only down side is this place gets busy, but that's pretty par for course. Massage pedicure chairs with plastic liner for each person to keep it sanitary. Waxing services available. read more

I have been here before and had an okay experience, but the nail technician I just had ruined it for me. Didn't even ask what shape/what length, then when I asked her to shorten them she acted annoyed. Also tried to push me to get a full set when I clearly didn't need one. Rushed the gel polish on and there are a ton of gaps and completely uneven. I will be taking my business elsewhere! read more

I made the mistake of trying a new place. The service was subpar and my pedicure looks horrible. I went in and asked for a manicure, pedicure, and to get my eyebrows done. They didn't even acknowledge that last. One of the girls broke a nail color jar near my shoes and they just threw my shoes aside instead of just moving it to the other side of the chair without the splatter. The pedicure I got was NOT worth the $36 that I paid for it and the lady constantly complained how my nails were too short. Sorry I don't like long nails? The only reason I've giving 3 stars is because of the girl who did my manicure did a decent job. read more

Great service! I have been well cared for this salon for over 20 years! The owners have always remembered my name and insisted on high quality service. Never rude! I have observed very rude customers on many occasions. Very nice well trained people who always do a great job! Try the Fancy Pedicure with gel! Love you guys!! Tanya is my fav! read more

Save yourself time and money! I never write reviews but hope this will spare you the terrible experience. Took my daughter here and upgraded the pedi's with hot stones, massages, and wax in hopes treat ourselves. This was way overpriced ($60 each) and the worst pedicure I've ever experienced! Our feet weren't visibly any better looking except for our nails were polished and cut too short (we weren't asked about length). The technician was nice but not attentive at all. She was looking at and talking to the my daughter's technician for most of it including the entire time she did the callus scrub, hot stone rubs and massage. This made it a horrible (and at times painful) experience. I complained (which I have never done before over a pedicure) and was told there is nothing that could be done unless I contact the owner. We actually came home and gave ourselves a pedicure afterwards that made our feet look much better then they did. read more

The boss lady was gone and the staff were sitting around instead of helping the customers. Poor service when she is gone.

I have been getting my nails done here for about 3 years. I've had a few little issues, but nothing I couldn't fix at home (filing). I went in to get my nails done for graduation and I wanted them to look like the first picture. I showed the person the picture and they said they could definitely do it, but since it was a pink and white ombré with gel, it would be $65. Since I was getting my nails done for graduation I didn't really care about the price because I wanted them to look really good. However that was not the case. $65 later my nails looked awful. You could see my real nail under the acrylic, the "ombré" didn't exist, the tops of my nails were thick and lumpy in some spots, and the shape of them was so awful. Ended up painting over them with glitter and filing them myself. Won't be returning. read more

This just isn't where I go to get my nails done. It's the closest to my house but I'd rather go elsewhere. They do decent work but the atmosphere just isn't what I'm looking for. It's often loud and chaotic and I'd rather have a peaceful and quiet experience when getting my nails done. read more

Not impressed. Just because KU voted it best doesn't mean jack. After reading a bunch of good reviews on insider pages I decided to hazard a visit. First off, this is Kansas, it should not cost $29 for a full set (which seems to be the going price in town). In big cities you can certainly find less expensive and better quality services. I paid less in Chicago and DC than what Kansans charge for nail and hair services. Ridiculous. There were a bunch of people getting pedicures and I was fine sticking around for a couple minutes. While the cosmetologist was super quick (less than 30 min) it showed in the final product. She did not take the polish to the sides and bed (so there's like this gap on the nails) nor did she clean up the underneath from errant nail as this was a new set. I've been getting my nails done for 10+ years and have very few occasions of this degree of dissatisfaction. The nails themselves are uneven on the surface and one of them is totally crooked! Big fat fail and rooky mistakes! The gal who did them clearly knew the business but was not one to pay attention to detail. Definitely driving to KC next time or waiting until I'm home in STL read more
