The few times I've tried this place (I had hoped the second time might be better but was worse ) it's been awful. Most of the employees don't seem happy there. The ladies that did my pedicure were rough and didn't appear to have much training. It's so close and convenient for me but not worth the awful experience. Don't recommend. read more

They are very unorganized. Take in too many clients that they can't handle. Scheduling an appointment doesn't matter. They will leave you Leave you sitting there with no service for an extremely long wait time.. Many customers end up by walking out. read more

15-30 min wait WITH an appointment. Walk-ins will be taken even if they don't have staff for appointments. Had at least 5 apts that we had to sit and wait because they didn't have the staff for us. Had to walk out after waiting 20 min knowing they still were in the middle of servicing other patrons and wouldn't get to me for at least another 10-15 min. Giving up and on the hunt for a new place. read more

We made three pedicure appointments for a birthday, and were made to wait sitting a chair with no water while they took in several random walk ins. We eventually left after 40 minutes. read more

I really wanted this place to work as I live in walking distance and it was built up and everything was new and clean. I made an appointment online for a Friday afternoon. As I walked in 5 minutes early every technician was being utilized and every waiting couch and seat spot taken. I was ordered to check in by phone number and after about 10 minutes, put in a pedicure chair. The male hastily filled it with freezing cold water and left me for 20 minutes. I refused to put my feet in and was about to get up to leave as I had an appointment they weren't honoring yet kept taking walk in customers. When he finally came over, I told him the water was ice cold and I'm not putting my feet in. It took 4 other coworkers to stop what they were doing, ask repeatedly why I didn't want pedicure? And finally someone helped make it clear the water was freezing. The pedicure itself was rushed and not great and I value my time more than the short walk there. Never again read more

I had an appointment for both a manicure and pedicure for noon. In the middle of my service for the pedicure portion, 6 other customers walked in and were waiting, so when I was done with the pedicure (about 1pm), they had me sit in the pedicure chair for another 40 minutes while they tended to the other customers who walked in. They did a decent job but very bad time management and they need more employees. read more

Went in last Sunday to do my nails with my toddler as we were both part of a wedding. To start off, I made the appt. the week prior but they acted like I never did. So it was packed and we were treated like walk ons and lots of people went before us. Then, he charged me $65 for gel rainbow French nails that lasted 5 days (see photos). I know French nails are more expensive (this is not my first rodeo) but the fact that he charged me extra for being rainbow is ridiculous. He seemed to be annoyed that they were packed and due to poor planning didn't have time for us, so he told me rainbow was "$6" more (a number he made up on the spot). My nails chipped on Friday, the day before the wedding so they didn't even last a week. This place needs a lot of improvement. I should of read the reviews before coming. read more

I've tried 2 different times to give them a fair chance. First time I had a manicure. The lady rushed through it and the paint didn't even last a week. I felt like I could have done better at home. Second time I scheduled a pedi w/gel. I had an appointment but they had so many walk-ins that the owner/manager who was doing my pedi did the whole thing in 25 mins! Then overcharged me. One toe gel fell off after 3 days! I'll never go back. read more

If you have come here before keep in mind they changed their prices DRASTICALLY. My set originally would have come out to approximately $75 including tip my set today came out to $125 including tip. I asked for gel X stiletto but they look more almond and no matter how many times I asked for them to be sharp he wouldn't be able to do it. Next was the roughness. I told the guy that my nails were brittle and thin and asked if he could be more gentle when filing. He was not. I was in a lot of pain when he filed my natural nails and when filing the nails to shape. He then screwed up on one of the nails so it look's sideways and not just a little bit sideways, very noticeable sideways. He couldn't do the design I wanted so they put me with a nail tech who could ( very normal for them some of them can't do a very detailed design) and when I asked her to fix the crooked nail she said it was fine. All in all I'm going to be looking for a new place to go. read more

Today was my first visit to novel nail spa. It was nothing less than exceptional. Gavin was my technician and he took his time and did an excellent job. I would highly recommend it. It is clean updated and they offer complementary water and soda. It's fantastic. read more

Let me start off by saying I've had some poor experiences and have never gone out of my way to leave a review. I have had 3 HORRIBLE experiences here. It is no shock this new establishment has dropped down to 2 stars in less than 6 months. I was booked for a mani + pedi. First of all they burned the crap out of my leg with water hotter than i've ever felt before when she used the hose to rinse my leg I jumped out of the chair and fought tears. Was less than relaxed. Before my pedicure was done I was told I needed to get a gel nail set because they had 4 customers walk in and needed to service them for manicures instead of me!!! I HAD AN APPOINTMENT FOR LUMINARY MANICURE!!!!! I paid for my crappy (and overcharged) pedicure and walked out to go to a different salon. It gets worse... Had to return after less than a week because my GEL polish came off my toe and the woman ARGUED with the staff to redo my nails and glared at me! Had to sit there until she was done with her client because no one else would simply repaint my nails! (60 minutes!!!!!!) The tech that I was given did not even do my first basic gel pedicure correct. Painted the end of my french tip first, then painted SIDEWAYS LEFT TO RIGHT a nude polish for the base. When I asked for it to be done correctly with the base first she couldn't understand me and the nails turned out lumpy. This place is by far the rudest, most unprofessional establishment I have EVER been to. I will not be back and will surely hope this helps prevent others from a negative experience that is supposed to be a luxury. read more

Novel Nail Spa - Checking out the new nail spa in the neighborhood! - Nail Salons Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

I took my daughter here as a birthday treat for gel pedicures. My water was so hot that it burned my foot. Both pedicures were rough. The massages hurt, they filed our skin & we both have sore toes from it. AND my tech used my foot to wipe off the cuticle gunk instead of the towel. It was so gross! Didn't enjoy any of jt. Definitely didn't feel like we treated ourselves. Really disappointed & a waste of money. read more

I had set an appointment up online I even got an email that my appointment was set so I go in for my appointment the lady working on me was always asking me if I made an appointment and as she was doing my nails for about 30 minutes someone had come in that had an appointment they all talked it over and she stopped doing my nails and gave me to someone else but I had to wait 10 to 15 minutes did not make me happy when you start with someone finish it other people could have taken her or someone else should have taken me and the price they charged me was crazy they don't go by their pricing cost me 77 dollars never paid for a full set for that price I am going else were to have my nails done at least at the last places I was at the person that started my nails finished them not pawn me off to someone else, I came here cause it was 2 min from home. read more

got a gel manicure and jt literally fell off the next day like just slipped right off my nails. I've never had that happen and they were really rude When I went it to try and get it fixed. read more

I had a really good first experience here with a pedicure. I've been to four other nail salons in the area and none of them would do callous removal. Recently, I got a gel French manicure and it looks like I did it myself. The lines are uneven. There's bubbling and places where the gel is higher and lower. He did not do any cuticle work and he did not ask me to wash my hands first. I also asked for a flower design twice and he did not understand me. Oh well. So I will say it depends on who your nail tech is. I will still go back for pedicures. The color choices are organized- they have them painted on fake nails and every color comes in both gel and regular. Beautiful space too. read more

This was my first time trying Novel Nail Spa. I came for an 11:30am appointment for a gel manicure and pedicure. I waited 45 minutes until someone started with my pedicure. While I waited, about 6 more people showed up for 12:00pm appointments, and were not seated for close to 30 minutes as there were no available nail techs. My pedicure honestly turned out fine. She started on my manicure and I asked for an almond shaped manicure. The nail tech asked me what almond was, and I showed her a photo of the exact shape. She immediately started cutting my nails which lead to part of my thumb nail to look steep and shaved off. She cut all of my right side nails, but filed the left side, leading to an uneven shape between both hands. I asked her to file the left side down more because they were round. She started to file them. When I asked her to file them all little more, she handed me the file to do it myself. She seemed irritated with me, and there wasn't really anything I could ask for at this point to have them fixed because of how uneven the shape was. She also rushed cleaning my cuticles, which also lead to them looking uneven and unkept. Here are photos for reference. I tried to be open minded about this but I most likely wouldn't come back. read more

This was easily the worst pedicure I have ever experienced. My mom and I went in last Saturday for pedicures and purchased the "firewalker" packages; for the price, the quality certainly does not match. I had booked appointments for us days in advance, and once we entered the salon it appeared that no one knew we had an appointment. The technician I had, had an attitude the entire time, the water was incredibly hot and was only turned down slightly. The technician was super rough and hurt my feet with the pumice stone. He cut my nails way too short and they are now hurting. He could not locate the gel color I had asked for and rolled his eyes when I was trying to find a new color. He missed many steps of the pedicure and he used a nail file to file off gel polish from the top of my foot (after letting it cure in the UV light). He then poured cold milk all over my legs, placed an incredibly hot towel on my feet that I had to remove for fear of burns, and then rubbed the milk into my legs with lotion. The pedicure was rushed, I was in literal pain the entire process, and was given an attitude from the moment I walked in. My mom wanted to say something at multiple points during this pedicure, but feared that it would make it worse. I have had many pedicures and I am never one to complain, but this was absolutely terrible. I would never recommend that someone comes here; it turned a fun day with my mom into pain and money wasted. read more

Made an appointment online for 11:10. Was hardly acknowledged when I walked through the door for minutes early. Continued to sit for 20 more minutes with zero acknowledgement and left. Very upsetting to not be acknowledged and had looked forward to treating myself read more

Don't bother! I had an appointment with Tony at 1PM. Apparently, he thought it was 12:30PM. I showed up @ 1PM and had to ask for him 3 times, before I was told to call him. They didn't call him... I had to!!!! I called him. He told me he waited for me and my appt. was at 12:30PM! I asked him why he didn't call me if he thought I was late. He said "I thought you forgot... and I don't know..." He asked if I would just wait for someone else. I didn't have time, so I just left. Completely unprofessional!!!!! Never again!!!! read more

Very rude and told me the color I picked was ugly and I should very brighter colors. He spoke in his native language to the other guy working there most of the time. My nails turned out thick and lumpy. Totally not going back! read more

What a wonderful elaxing and clean place. Staff is friendly and attentive and i got a great pedicure which is hard to find around here. I was worried from some of the other reviews but I went during the week and I loved it. Will definitely go back. read more

Very disappointed with the service and overall experience. I came in with my daughter and two granddaughters for pedicures. My daughter was helped first, but after that, the three of us were left waiting--then skipped entirely when a woman who arrived after us was taken ahead. The technician gave her far more time and care than she did with any of us. I was left mid-pedicure, and eventually with toenails unpainted, until I had to ask someone else to finish just so we could leave. The service for me and my granddaughters felt rushed and inconsistent. At the same time, another woman sat nearby watching her daughter and her daughter's friend receive full manicures and pedicures, while her own service was left halfway done without explanation--because the technician walked away to help me. I hadn't asked for the switch, and the whole thing felt awkward and disorganized. To make matters worse, another woman with a 3:00 appointment had been waiting over 40 minutes with her children without being helped. When she finally got up to leave, the man who seemed to be managing the salon said, "No, I'm done." She responded, "No, I've been waiting 40 minutes with my kids and I had an appointment." He immediately jumped up and ran over to help her--leaving my pedicure unfinished, skipping even the basic finishing touches like helping with my shoes or lifting the arm rests on the chair. The entire experience was chaotic, unprofessional, and uncomfortable. It's not just about being busy--it's about how you treat people. We won't be coming back. read more

Just no. Don't do it. Trust me and the other bad reviews. It's a new and nice looking place but my service wasn't understood, FOUR different people who apparently don't speak English well asked me what I wanted done. They ground down my nails and burned me. Nipped cuticles. Just say NO. Not worth it at all. read more

Dan is the best! They can always get you in no matter what and my nails always look great!

This place was great. Very kind people! this place has been here for 6 months so it's nice, new and big. Great for large groups of people

I have maybe done one or two bad reviews in my whole lifetime. I went in on Sunday. I had an appointment but wasn't taken back for about 30 mins, I understand that it happens and I wasn't in a hurry. Once I was taken back, I sat there waiting some more. I actually stood up from the chair to leave because the man that took me back was barking at a customer how they didn't do dips and she had to come back (read Julia's review...she was kinder than she should be in it, the older woman with her was treated horribly! Of all techs there, at least one of them had to know how to do a dip manicure). Unfortunately I sat back down and proceeded to have the WORST gel manicure I've ever had. He was rough, didn't soak off old gel polish but instead ground my nails with the drill until they hurt. Did a mediocre job cleaning my cuticles and skin. Never had me wash my hands. Barely dusted them off and now Tuesday morning two of them have already started lifting and catching. I want to go back and have them redone but I also never want to step back in there. Very disappointed. It's a beautiful new salon and great location. read more

Clean, beautiful location with plenty of natural light. Kind welcoming staff. Will be returning!

This place was not at all what I hoped for. Me and 4 of my family members went and the staff was very rude. The cut our toe nails so short they hurt, didn't cut our cuticle, and messed up the nail polish and refused to fix it. It was clear they were talking about us and kept giving us weird looks. We were very excited about this trip and took our 3 kids, extremely disappointed to say the list. While is was a beautiful building don't let that foul you. Then to top it all off they tried charging us 400$ which we knew was totally unreasonable and we argued them down to 250$. I've had way better pedicures else where for much cheaper. read more

So I had made an appointment for 1:15 and I wasn't seen until 2:00. Then the lady who started my nails filed them down too short and a new guy had to come and redo the nail(s) and he took over from there. The design wasn't exactly like I wanted but close enough I suppose. They also clipped my cuticle, and I started bleeding. Then a lady who was doing my design (I had 3 people who had worked on my nails at this point) was shaping my nails and cut too close as well. At the end of it all they only gave me 10% off (I got acrylic nails with a design) so it only came out to $68 (way way way too much). I feel like my nails were better before I went into this place, and I can't wait to grow them out. I partially take blame for not speaking up but I was too exhausted by this point. read more

I called and made an appointment for 2 people. when we got there i told them we had an appointment for two services and they told us to sit and wait. I waited for 10-15 minutes and then they sat me down. the other person I was with sat and waited for another 15-20 minutes when they went over to her they told her she didn't have an appointment and they couldn't help her unless she came back 2 hours later or the next day. I made the appointment for the two of us together and they only helped me, so she had to sit down and wait for my service to be done. Two ladies walked in shortly after without an appointment and they took them immediately. she also doesn't drive so this was one of the only times I was available to take her and they did not help her even though we had an appointment. I get they are new, but very disorganized. read more
