    I saw Amy, she had Amazing quality, listened to everything I wanted and asked for. Even checked in with me and asked me a few times if it was turning out what I wanted. Beautiful craftsmanship.

    Jenny did my nails, and she did a fantastic job! No-chip manicure in 30 minutes flat. Shaped my nails well and put on three coats so I know it'll last! Very kind, and I enjoyed talking to her. Definitely will be back and definitely recommend!

    Came here for the first time after many searches. Salon was quiet and I guess it was slow hour but definitely very nice. Went in 10-15 minutes earlier and got seated right away. I chose a winter collection color and I absolutely love the finished look. I really love my nails. Will definitely be coming again. Nail tech Jenny did an amazing job

    I got my nails done last night and within an a couple of hours, it was already chipping. The person who did my nails took their time and did a great job until the very end when he quickly filed my nails after applying gel polish, which I believe is the reason why all my nails started chipping almost immediately. I took this picture first thing when I got up this morning, not even 12 hours after getting them done. For $85, I expect my nail polish to last.

    Just as great as their west loop location- great color options and quick friendly service!

    I've been to the west loop location as my friend raves about their gel x designs and I decided to go to this one since it opened right by me. Great service and quality, hoping these stay on my hands for 4-5 weeks! I got chrome on top of the gel x for a wedding this weekend and will go perfect with any outfit.

    My nail tech, David was not only super friendly but he absolutely slayed my nails. Super appreciative of his ability to do so in a timely manner but also meticulously. I definitely will be back!

    I have more than 3 toes. Trust me. All five look great.

    This was a new stop for me since I moved. A colleague recommended an. I was not disappointed. Get the Dazzle dry and avoid the no chip. Your nails will thank you. Nice vibe and the owner is great.

Attentiveness post-service, helping you so you don't mess up your nails. I typically get a regular mani and/or pedi.

It was so easy to make an appointment on the phone, I was able to get one the same day. Once I got there, the service was fantastic. Everyone was so helpful and accommodating since it was my first time there. Every nail tech I was with was so friendly. I will say the aesthetic and the vibes are great. The pedicure chairs and foot rests are unfortunately just not for me, they were kind of uncomfortable and made it hard to relax. Even though my nails looked great as soon as they were done, they chipped within the first week of my vacation. I had gotten no chip gel polish on my hands and feet so that was disappointing. Overall loved the salon, just wouldn't get my nails done before an occasion or vacation here again.

    I am updating my review to provide clear evidence of what actually happened. In their response to…read moremy Yelp review, they claimed that I was late to my appointment, which is simply not true. They were the ones running behind due to another client, not me. At the time, they acknowledged this and offered a voucher as an apology, which is the only reason I gave them another chance and returned. When I came back, they refused to honor that voucher, saying it was "over a month old," despite never communicating any expiration date or conditions in their message. There was no mention of a deadline, required response, or any policy tied to its use. Instead of taking responsibility, they publicly called me dishonest and reduced their offer to a 15% discount. This experience shows a clear lack of accountability and professionalism. I gave them a second chance based on their own promise, and they failed to follow through. I recommend going elsewhere if you value honest communication and reliable customer service.

Staff were all very friendly and both my dipped manicure and my pedicure were equally great in regard to service. My dip manicure was $55 and the basic pedicure was $38. Both came with great massages! I'm very please with the attention to detail and shaping for both my mani and pedi, both done by two separate people, D and Anna. Separately, the person who I believe is the owner was super friendly and kind to us! They do prefer cash which is understandable but do take card and you can tip through Venmo which worked just fine for me. The main standouts for me were the parking lot, the friendly staff, attention to detail and how clean it was. It makes sense why they were busy! Looks like VS Nails may be my new nail spot, thanks for a great visit.

I left with no polish to do it myself at home because she was so rough. She also filed my nails horribly and I had to refile my nails at home. Jagged edges and crooked. I definitely won't be back especially for a $65 pedicure this bad.

    I needed my nails done for an October 2024 wedding and found Ipop Central. They had glowing reviews…read moreso I booked an appointment over the phone with owner Mylinh the week of the wedding. MyLinh went over my preferences and she requested I send a pic of the work I wanted done. I saw a picture off of Pinterest I wanted to replicate which required extensive artwork. With these parameters I also needed nail extensions. After going over preferences and quoting a price, Mylinh recommended I do the Russian manicure with builder gel application. I never had a Russian manicure before but was willing to try it out. She paired me with two technicians. Adele who did the manicure and Jamal who did the artwork. Russian manicures are high quality focusing on cuticle deep cleaning which can extend manicure wear. In fact, all of the work is dry application meaning your nails never get soaked in chemical solution. Total work with the artwork took 4 hours to complete with longer lasting results versus a traditional gel extensions. I kept my manicure over 3 weeks before seeing outgrowth and even then they still looked great! When it came time for removal they used a fine drill bit (no soaking was involved). I left with my natural nail intact with the nail bed feeling healthier than ever. Adele did a great job on my nails. She was gentle, patient and really took the quality of her work seriously. Jamal is a trained nail artist who does a good job with her nail art whether it's freestyle or replicating a design. The facilities are modern and clean with comfortable seating. Their pedicure chairs have customizable massage functions making your session a relaxing experience. I rarely get my nails done. At the most I get them done once or twice a year on special occasions or a vacation. However when I do get them done I go all out. After the amazing service I had here I plan to seek out Ipop Central for any future manicure/pedicure needs. Note: Parking is street side only so plan and schedule accordingly.

    While Ipop was lovely at first, it got less lovely over time. While I appreciate how kind and…read morefriendly the entire staff is, their lack of skills got a little challenging eventually. One time I was there for 4 hours getting a builder gel fill and a pedicure. I appreciate a clean salon, which this certainly is, but there are downfalls that made it frustrating. There's also a couple hair salon booths within the nail salon and the noise from the blow dryers didn't help create a relaxing environment. After a manicure with a nail design that looked like I'd done it myself, and an unexpected upcharge, I decided to switch and find a new salon. If you have plenty of time and patience and are seeking a simple color without a design, ipop is a good option. But if you're looking for an efficient service, I would consider looking elsewhere.
