This is a bare bones salon. If that is your thing, perfect. If you want a spa experience or even a choice of services, this is not for you.

Naku always does an amazing job and takes their time with every customer. The salon is very welcoming and clean. Brian can do pretty much any design you have in mind very talented! I always leave with a slime on my face, will definitely continue to book for my nails read more

Naku Nails Designs - Nail Salons Near Me - South Burlington, Vermont

Came here on a Friday morning around 10:30 as a walk in and there was no wait. It became much busier and most people had appointments. They knew many of the customers by name, so I took that as a good sign that they have regular customers. There were about 7 staff working. Large selection of nail polishes. I got a regular pedicure which included a lower leg exfoliation and massage. They have massaging chairs as well. The older woman doing my pedicure was polite and did a base coat and top coat for the regular polish. It took about 30 minutes, and she did a good job. It cost $40 plus $5 to remove my old nail polish. Located in a small shopping plaza with a small parking area on busy Williston Road, so it's a bit hard to turn in and get out of the lot. read more

I recently visited Naku Nails for a Deluxe Pedicure, and overall, it was a relaxing and positive experience. My appointment was at 10:15 AM--I arrived a bit early and was in the chair right on time, finishing around 11-11:15. The service included a massage chair, gel polish, salt scrub, lotion massage, hot towels, and a hot rock & oil massage. At $70, I felt the price was fair for the time and attention given, and I added a 25% tip. They do have a sign requesting payment via cash or Venmo, but card payments are accepted as well. Cleanliness: The salon uses disposable liners in the foot baths and replaces them after each appointment--a great sign of good hygiene. Staff wore gloves during the massage and nail-cutting portion of the pedicure, though not during polish application. One thing I noticed: manicure clients weren't asked to wash their hands before service, which differs from other salons I've visited. It might be worth asking about their protocol--just something to note. Friendliness: Everyone was very friendly! As someone who's a bit shy, I appreciated the short, light conversations throughout the appointment. The team was warm and welcoming without being overwhelming. Scheduling & Flow: For a business that's not quite a year old, they already have a steady flow of clients. They also have a loyalty card. I saw a mix of walk-ins, same-day bookings, and appointments. Appointments are prioritized (I booked the night before and got in early--highly recommend that approach!). You can also add notes in the online booking form--I mentioned that my cuticles are a bit on the weaker side, and followed up in nail tech before the service started. Depending on who you book with, there may be quick pauses in service while staff tend to the front end--answering calls, checking out clients, or booking appointments--but they're efficient and courteous about it. Overall, Naku Nails seems to be building a loyal following, and I can see why. It's a comfortable, friendly space for nail care. While I opted for a solid color this time (wanted to see how everything went for a first visit), I could tell they're highly skilled with nail designs--I'd love to try something more detailed next time. I'm also curious to book a manicure soon to learn more about their prep and hygiene protocols on that side of the service. read more

Paid $65 for dip powder crome with no tips. A week later my nails are chipping. Totally over priced and took way too long (2 hours). Nice people but I won't be back read more

We were visiting from out of town and they squeezed us in on short notice on Saturday! Amee was friendly and did a great job on my husband's pedicure. read more

This place is simply the best. The people who work there are incredible and friendly. The vibes were warm and welcoming. Very clean and welcoming. I have been to many salons and this is the best. They didn't cut corners. The color on my toenails lasted. I found my new place! Love them. read more

Thai did an exceptional job at my dip manicure. Not bulky, and super even across all nails. Would highly recommend

Wonderful, kind nail salon. It was our first time here, and we will be back! It was easy to schedule a spur of the moment manicure appointment for my daughter and I. Both were done professionally and everyone was so friendly. Luna did my nails (powder dip) and they look great! I highly recommend them! I'm looking forward to future appointments at Naku Nails Designs. read more

very very slow even with appointment. me and my two friends waited for 45 minutes and were barely talked to.

Excellent service, easy to book online, nails look amazing-every time! Luna is delightful!

They are all so kind and friendly there! I felt so calm and relaxed, they're really gentle. although the design wasn't as good as the price I paid for it. I did feel it was extremely over priced for the quality but besides that it is a very nice and recommend salon read more

Luna & her husband are great paired with Vu on designs! They all rock!! I always recommend others go here for good friendly service! Where they treat all their customers well regardless of what! read more

Friendly, fast service. The place was not crowded so they took me right away. They found the best color for me.

I cannot believe this place has 4 star average. The pedicure was expensive, and so basic. I got one coat of polish and one top coat. That's it. No base coat. Very underwhelming...much better options in the area. read more

Great service by Jennifer! So sweet and thoughtful service! Will definitely be back. Now my feet are summer ready. read more

My fiancé and I went to get pedicures together at Allure on Sunday. We were so happy to find a place that was open on the weekend, and available to get us in for a relaxing service. Jennifer is the sweetest person, she was so welcoming and friendly. My partner and I got to sit next to each other and enjoy conversation and spa pedicures. The service itself was great, our skin feels soft and smooth and our nails look great- it was the perfect treat! read more

They did such a great job on my manicure and pedicure. It was long overdue. So they're ready for my upcoming wedding thanks to the lady who did my nails. read more

Ly is so personable and such a hard worker. I've been a dedicated customer of hers for about 3 years now and I'm never disappointed with her work. She's quick, efficient, and reasonably priced compared to other salons. Im always impressed by how long my nails stay looking nice after my gel manicure. Would definitely recommend her services! read more

Worst experience in a nail salon. Terrible nails,bumpy, uneven and thick... had to tell the tech to slow down with the dremel tool as she kept cutting me and I was bleeding. Pedicure was fast and barely any massage..MUCH more expensive than anyone in the area and the work does not support the price. I will NOT return read more

This place is awesome! Lee does such a great job and she is super friendly. I would 100% recommend!

The ladies at the salon were so kind & I experienced great customer service! The finished product looks real & they were filed thin even though they were gel. They took their time & did a wonderful job! I know I just found my new nail salon... finally after 7 yrs of living here, thank you! read more

I came to this nail salon and they treat like they really don't want to service me . I was told I should do my own nails it's to expensive here and would rush me out all the time , she ask me if I was and American cause I don't look like one , wtf does an American look like . Very insulting. And she refuse to do my waxing . Said I should do my own . Never again read more

After moving to northern VT from NYC, I knew it would be a challenge to find a quality and affordable mani/pedi place. Unfortunately, Allure Salon isn't either. Here's the shakedown of unfortunateness: - Even though there was only one other person getting their nails done, I was rushed. - The woman laughed at the color I chose (what's wrong with taxi cab yellow?) - There wasn't any foot massage (just a very gentle rub of lotion on my legs) - They didn't put on a base coat (what's up with that?) - The final product was pretty darn sloppy with both cuticle cutting and painting - I started getting chips that very night Overall, a big disappointment. Back to the search! read more

Based on reviews I read here, I called for a last minute appointment. Although I was taken quickly, the two women working are each trying to give three pedicures at once and, in my case, not succeeding. I've never had the bum's rush to quite this degree in any of the many nail spas I've frequented around the country. My sweet and friendly worker pretty much didn't touch my cuticles and did the entire pedicure in maybe 20 minutes. Guessing I'll need a redo much sooner than usual. AN HOUR LATER: Okay, it was $30, which is not awful. However, I got home (wearing the cheapo flip flops they put on you) and discovered my polish is already smudged. I think this was the most haphazard pedicure I've ever had. The three stars are because the place appears clean and the workers were friendly. read more

My nails are jagged, and the polish went over on the sides. The lady who did my nails was nice, but not very good. Will not be going back. read more

I was in town for a short stay and went to the bagel shop across the way (which was very good by the way) and ended up stopping here after for a manicure. I was greeted promptly and was told to pick my color. There were four other clients and two workers so I thought it would take awhile but I was wrong. Sarah got me settled to take off my gel while she finished her other clients. After that it was quick and painless. She did a great job. I would definitely go back if I lived in the area. Just wanted to up date this post because my nails are still perfect and it's been 2 weeks -no chips or cracks at all! read more

Pricey!! However I thoroughly enjoyed my mani pedi, used the massage chair, and the girl that did my nails was polite, and chatted with me. I watched her clean up including sweep and putting the utensils in a microwave like object that sanitizes. read more

If you like massage places that gives you the appropriate time you asked for, not just rubbing but actual massage, a person who stays in the room to work, and politeness this may NOT be the place for you. I am disappointed that I wasted my money here for a massage. Maybe they are better a nails or waxing. read more

Walked in and they sat me down right away! Great pedicure! A little bit pricey but great and friendly customer service, very clean and amazing job. I was very pleased! read more

Nice nail tech. Nice work. No wait. Easy booking process. My reason for only 2 stars was because the shop was dirty. Dirty towel on the table. (Very dirty) Dirty jacket on the nail tech. (Really dirty.). Dirty table under the towel. Makes me wonder if everything was sanitized properly. Most likely yes, but I was left wondering... read more

Great service, very clean and professional. I got a pedicure (new chairs are great!) and a gel manicure. Both done very well. $70 all together is a great price for the area, I was very happy. I made an appointment but it looked like they take walk-ins as long as they aren't too busy, and they did have steady traffic the entire time I was there. Will definitely be back and happy to find a good walk-in place as well! PS...regular pedi came with hot stones as well, nice touch! read more

Dropped in with the hopes I could get a quick mani before my flight out of BTV. Not only did she give my nails much needed attention in time for my flight but it has been the longest lasting gel color I've ever had. Wish I lived closer so I could go to this salon all the time. read more

Allure Nails did an awesome job! I was an off-the-street walk in... and they removed an old gel-pedicure and did this awesome nail art! Great attention to detail, and steady hands... it included a hot-stone calf massage as well, all for just $65 read more

I'm not from Vermont (come up here to teach at Middlebury College for part of the summer)... and I kind of accidentally "found" this place 3 summers ago. LOVE IT. They are so friendly. The pedicure almost always comes with a nice surprise (that varies) --a hot stone rub, a peppermint oil rub, etc. And they do a GREAT job on a shellac manicure. Reasonably priced. I wish I could find some place just like this back in Connecticut! read more

I love this place. It's affordable and they do a good job. You can't expect the world from a $30 pedicure, but they get the job done. I can usually walk in at any time and be served almost immediately. The women working here are friendly. I saw some reviews on here that they didn't sterilize their tools, but that is not true. I watched them fully sterilize everything between clients. I have been coming here regularly for 2 years and will continue to do so. read more
