Sigh. Oh nails care. Where to start? I want to like this place but every time I come here it just seems to get worse and worse. The people employed here are very friendly and pleasant, but the quality of their work and products they use is really not up to par. Add on top of it that this place really isn't the cleanest (its carpeted and there were bits of nails all over the floor at the station I sat at) and it makes it harder to justify coming back. Honestly the only reason I do come here is because of their hours - being open after work until 7, taking walk-ins - and because the other salon I like to go to is closed seasonally. Last time I went I asked for a shellac manicure. The polish they used was very obviously old and had gotten too thick to go on smoothly, and the UV lightboxes they used were flimsy cheap ones that looked like one you could have picked up from walgreens, yourself. After a few coats I noticed one looked a little bumpy and told my tech - she added another coat and had me dry it again under the light, then she cleaned me up and I was done. No hand massage either. I don't know if this was because it was the end of the day and she was tired but usually this is something all salons around here throw in at the end of a manicure. After I left I put on my gloves and headed home. When I got there I realized the gel had never full cured so my nails still felt slightly sticky and weren't smooth and shiny like a gel manicure usually is. For $30 I felt ripped off and decided I would just have to paint over it with normal polish. Such a waste of time and money. Again, this review is in no way meant to tear down the ownership or workers there - I always enjoy seeing them, but they really need to step up their game if they want to be an attractive option for customers in the area and for tourists. I MUCH prefer going to Twin City Nails. While the owner there can be...well...very vocal and sassy...I much prefer their work and clean environment over this place any day! And as long as you make an appointment there and run on time (you'll be on the owner's good side then), its a much better experience. Sorry nails care, but I do not think I will be back. read more

I definitely had a horrible experience with this place. I'm a female of color, I called them and they agreed to do my nails. However, when I got there this rude woman who I believe to be Lisa, looked at me and said no. I stepped out of their shop, but she started taking pictures of while I was standing outside. I believe she didn't want to do my nails because of my color. She was very rude and very argumentative. One of the guys offered to do my nails, but she refused him. I think she is racist and I will never go to this place again read more

Nails care may not look like much from the outside, but believe me when I say it is a WONDERFUL salon. Twin City Nails cancelled my appointment on me and Nails Care accommodated my group at the last minute. Not only were they kind and accommodating, they were super friendly and funny! We had a great time bonding and learning a little Vietnamese. Nails were excellent and my techition really took her time and checked with me often to make sure I was happy with the job. read more

From the outside, this place looks scary. They need to take down 80's-looking sign in front window and clean up the "flower bed" and "garden fence", to start. Once you get in, it's a little better. Bigger than expected. Definitely not one of the nicest I've seen, but I have yet to find a really nice nail salon in St. Joe. Carpet bunched and floors uneven. Crappy walls and paint job. Anyway, I got a pedicure and was pleased with ther services. Got the exfoliating rub, they did 2 coats of paint. Overall, it will suffice. Cute little schnauzer dog sleeps next to a wall! Paid $30, which is pretty standard. It was rather busy on Friday at 4:30, so it must be popular around here. Just wish they'd class it up a bit. I will go back read more

If I could give them 0 stars I would. They suck and Linda is very argumentive. She also acts as if she does not know how to apply rhinestones on nails. Customer service is lacking and it needs to be known. Linda please get a new profession. You are not an artist!!! read more

I need some dynamite-looking nails for my son's wedding. I chose this salon for my first set of artificial nails. It was a fascinating process to watch the nail artist create my wedding nails. They turned out flawless and remained so for one month. I highly recommend this s read more

This was the worst nail salon I've ever been to! The day before my wedding I went to get pink and white gels and a pedicure with a couple of my bridesmaids. They rushed through our pedicures and my pink and white set looks awful. I already had one chip off and it hasn't even been 48 hours. It was not worth the $75 I spent. the girls were also very unhappy. Three hours after getting her manicure my MOH's nails were still wet and she ended up redoing them herself! I'll never be back! read more

If I could give a zero I would. The worst treatment..and rude! Guy is cutting cuticles, I tell him it hurts. He continues until I move my foot. Then as he is scrubbing my feet, he misses 2 areas. I ask him to do them, he argues with me as to why he can't, it doesn't need it. I ask for another tech, I was refused. Then, I specifically bring my sandals that I know I can get a pedicure in (every other salon allows me to use them with no issue) he argues with me about using them. He then keeps positioning my foot when I tell him it hurts. Linda then comes over to say why they don't like to use my sandals (others in this shop have allowed me to use them without issue). Then he proceeded to roughly handle my feet while polising my toes. I tell Linda I am not happy with my service, and sadly I will not be coming back. "That's fine" I said so you are happy just losing a customer? She again replied with "that's fine" WTF. Just because there is little competition. Does not mean people can't travel elsewhere. Very very poor customer service and selection of polishes. Will never be back! (Will be sure to tell my local friends about my experience as well) read more

Very mixed depending on who you get. The guys' are the best...according to first hand comments from my girls. One had to be redone. Owner a bit testy. So, a solid meh. read more

June 26, 2015 Just got my nails done for my wedding! Horrible experience! My nails look like crap!! I got the French tip and I had them re-due a few of them because they were so bad! The lady who did my nails and toes was literally on her phone the whole time! She was calling people, she was checking her messages, she was texting people, and she was on Facebook! How rude I'm the bride to be and you couldn't stay off your phone to do my nails and toes! I should of walked out but I was giving them a chance since it was my 1st time here! I would of been better off getting them done back home 3hrs away they still would of looked better after a week than they do now! Please don't go here especially if you are a bride! One of the worst experiences I've encountered!!! They also didn't want to give me my deposit back because I didn't have the exact amount of girls that I originally told them. I understand where they were expecting more people and pushed back a few appointments but they still had people waiting when they walked in and they weren't even busy. One of my friends had to wait a little so the guy could fix a lady's nail that came in because it was messed up! Which is fine but don't complain about me not having the correct amount of girls when you didn't dedicate your time for our appointment. I'm actually glad I didn't have all my girls get their nails done here! So they wanted me to pay $65 to get my nails and toes done plus my $50 deposit. Seriously $115 to get my nails and toes done that looked like crap! I literally wanted to cry! They made me feel horrible in front of my bridesmaids and friends. They never mentioned anything to me on the phone about keeping my deposit if not everyone showed up. After arguing with them for a while they finally only made me pay $15 which I still think is a rip off for how bad my nails looked. I know there will be a lot of upcoming weddings and brides looking for places to get their nails done in St. Joseph but please do not go here I don't want anyone to have the same experience I had. If I could give 0 stars I would! I should of stuck with my gut and just got them done back home! read more

See all

I've had my nails done at several places by several different people and have found that Linda at Nails Care is the best! I won't allow anyone else to do my nails even if I have to wait. read more

I can't believe no one has reviewed this place yet!!!!!! It is hands down the best place in the area to get your nails done! I have tried tons of places, including many salons in Ann Arbor since I go to school there, but nothing ever tops nails care. They do an amazing job and are super friendly and the salon is kept neat and clean, and the plush leather back-massaging chairs you sit in for pedicures are the perfect way to unwind. My favorite technician for mani/pedi's is Phil who is hilarious and does an amazing job. But if you are looking to get acrylic or gel nails done, you MUST see Lisa. While other places I've gone to have given me faux nails that look glaringly fake, chip easily, etc, my nails have always looked perfect after Lisa has done them and they wear like IRON. I went on a three week vacation and they stayed perfectly. Not to mention that because she did such a great job tapering off the base of the gel nail, the new growth was barely noticeable. Don't waste your time or money at other salons. I know Nail Tech salon gets a lot of hype, and for a long time it was my go-to salon, but ever since my first visit to Nail(s) Care I haven't bothered going back. read more
