I had a very disappointing experience at this establishment. I came in for a simple eyebrow wax and waited over 20 minutes without being acknowledged or assisted by any staff member. My husband went to the front desk to ask how much longer the wait would be, but the employees at the front were eating and did not provide a response. Customer service and professionalism appeared to be lacking throughout the entire visit. An eyebrow wax is a quick service, and there was no communication regarding the delay. After waiting and receiving no assistance, I ultimately chose to leave. I understand that businesses can get busy, but customers should at least be acknowledged and kept informed. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet even basic expectations for customer service. read more

I had a very bad experience here and had to leave before even getting my nails done. Here is why you should avoid this salon: * Inexperienced Staff: The first tech did not know how to remove polish without acetone. She used a high-speed drill, cutting my skin three times and grinding my natural nails until they were paper-thin and painful. * Poor Service: When I asked for a new tech, the second lady had a bad attitude and was confused by a simple color request (Pink D02). The manager had to intervene just to find the bottle. * Safety Hazards: I explicitly told reception I cannot soak in acetone. The second tech ignored this and tried to wrap my fingers in acetone foil while a different chemical remover was already applied to them. They do not know basic safety or application techniques. I went in for a manicure and left with damaged nails. read more

Horrible service today paid for 50 minutes pedicure got a thirty minute service towels were cold made my skin itchy . Asked for clear polish didn't get and had to walk up to counter bare footed. Weird experience!! read more

Walked in on a Friday Evening and we were seated to the pedicure section within 5 minutes. Service: 10/10 Rose was very nice and attentive We asked for 2 deluxe pedis although I didn't get my toes painted/trimmed bc I usually do that stuff myself at home. I just like coming in for a scrub & massage; my bf got the whole the toe clipping/trim/scrub and liked it. Might come back but I don't think I would pay for the deluxe because that includes polish when I told them I had already painted my toes lol They gave us complementary drinks so that was nice; forgot to take a pic of the Nail service menu but I will next time. read more

Today was my first time to Palladium and I most likely won't return. I walked in (admittedly on a Saturday) expecting there might be a wait. I was told it would be an hour and I ended up waiting 1.5 hours to then be told what I wanted couldn't be done. Apparently they can not do colored tips with dip here. So I decided on gel since I had already waited so long. The gal takes me back and begins and halfway through leaves me to go wax someone's eyebrows. I didn't wait very long but that's still a little annoying after waiting for so long in the first place. Total of 3.5 hours later and the nails came out JUST OK. She did a good job on the tip colors, but the nails themselves are very lumpy and bulbous looking from the side. I expected a little more attention to detail given they cost $96!! Unfortunately, I can't get my time back. Overall can't recommend this place based on this experience. read more

I am so grateful for Megan! She's always so kind and amazing. I truly appreciate how meticulous she is when she does my pedis and manis. This is my go to nail bar due to how clean it is and the quick service. The prices are reasonable and I love the vibes because of the music and free drinks (heart). I brought a guest this week and they thoroughly enjoyed their first pedi too! read more

Nice place and the service is good. It does get very busy on the weekends and wait times can be long.

Absolutely LOVED this place! If you're looking for nail techs who actually care and take their time to make your nails perfect, this is the spot. You HAVE to ask for Julie she's the sweetest and totally nailed (pun intended ) my look. Can't wait to come back already! read more

I have ALWAYS had great experiences at this salon. The staff is always friendly and patient, which goes along way. If you go, ask for Jayden and thank me later! He is amazing at what he does. Very talented, very patient and easy to work with. I cannot recommend him enough. You can tell him the design you want and he will find a way to make it even better. read more

I have been coming here for three years straight without a single complaint. They have always always charged me the same price every two weeks for three years. Suddenly today, my bill was $20 higher than it's ever been and they are trying to gaslight me into believing it has always been that high. You can literally look at every dollar I've ever paid in the past and you can see very clearly that you are all full of it. I have no idea why you would burn a bridge with such a long time loyal customer, but congratulations. I suppose we are done here. read more

I had an appointment for a pedicure at 3 and I've been waiting for half an hour. 5 people have come in after me and immediately got their service, including 3 pedicures. I sit here waiting with no communication, no offer of a drink, no apologies for the wait, nothing. And my appointment was with anyone, I'm not waiting on a specific individual read more

I had regular red nail polish on and wanted that removed and a builder gel set put on - I feel like this was an unusually sloppy clean up and not full removal of prior nail polish. Just looks sloppy. Hoping the red comes off around the nail. It wasn't all over my fingers before the removal either. read more

I've been coming here for over a year now and the service has become very inconsistent. Tonight, I paid for a deluxe pedicure but barely received the equivalent of a signature pedicure. I arrived an hour before closing, and it was clear that the technician was rushing through the service. Despite the deluxe package including a 10-minute massage, I didn't receive any massage at all. He also skipped essential steps like trimming and cuticle care. I've had a signature pedicure with Rolyce before, and it was far better than the deluxe pedicure I paid for tonight. This pedicure was supposed to be a treat for my birthday, and I left feeling disappointed and unsatisfied. read more

I liked the place at first I really did but after a while they just got lazy with my nails. Not the place to go to if you like unique nails.

Amazing service! My nails look great and my toes do too! Worth the extra money for a job well done.

Hi everyone! I wanted to share my recent experience with this salon. During my initial visit, I had a full set of acrylic nails with French tips done, and everything went smoothly with the nail technician. However, when I returned three weeks later on September 9th for a nail fill, things took a turn. The technician who worked on my nails this time seemed distracted, repeatedly asking for the time and making sure everyone knew she started on my nails at 5:00 PM, even though she was only 30 to 55 minutes into the service. The nail fill was rushed, with barely any buffing or filing done on the sides--just a couple of quick swipes. When it came to redoing the French tips, I asked three times before she filed off the existing tips if there would be an extra charge for redrawing them, but she ignored me each time and continued anyway. To make matters worse, two male technicians stood over her shoulder, which seemed to make her nervous and rush through the service. The lines for the French tips ended up uneven, and she quickly applied the clear coat to finish as soon as possible. At checkout, I was charged $45 for the nail fill, which was expected, but then there was an additional $20 for the French tips and $5 for nail reshaping. I can understand the charge for the French tips, but the technician should have informed me when I asked. When I questioned the cashier about the "nail reshaping" charge, he laughed it off and changed it to "long nail," which didn't make sense since I was only getting a fill. The problems didn't end there. I noticed the next day on September 10th that one of my nails had a large bubble in the white of the French tip on my thumb. Later, the bubble popped, revealing uncured nail gel, which I accidentally ingested. This could potentially lead to acrylate poisoning, causing allergies that could interfere with getting my nails done in the future or even with medical procedures. I returned to the salon on September 10th to address the issues with the uncured gel and uneven French tips, especially considering I paid over $70 for a fill and not a new set. Unfortunately, the staff argued with me, saying, "white nail gel just cures like that under lamps" and "there's nothing they can do." When I expressed concern about potential poisoning, they dismissed it. I requested a refund, but the front desk attendant said their policy only allows in-store credit, which she refused to provide, claiming there was "nothing wrong with my nails" despite the uncured gel issue. I asked to have the French tips removed and replaced with a plain gel coat, and I was sent to another technician. This technician handled my hands roughly and, while filing off the gel top coat and French tips as expected, he also filed off the apex of my nails, leaving them flat. At the end, he warned me with an attitude, "Be careful. They are thin." I received a $20 in-store credit for the French tips, but the front desk lady was rude, simply dropping the card without a word. Overall, I'm really disappointed with how this visit went, especially after having such a great initial experience. read more

I love this place. Everyone is so friendly, and they go out of their way to learn your name and be friendly. They also do an amazing job on nails. My favorites are Hellen, Sue, and Jenny, but I've rarely been disappointed with anyone. Even the receptionist is friendly and greets everyone with a smile. Availability is generally good- and honestly it's one of my favorite things to sit down, have a pedicure, and drink my complimentary champagne. [They also have other drinks available, but why bother when I can have champagne?] I even like the music they tend to play. Altogether, Palladium is a relaxing, pleasant experience, and worth every penny. read more

Walked in with my partner and neither of us were greeted. We were told to just check in using the ipad which had a very confusing menu to select our options. The lady at desk was not top helpful. I asked her about a specific color because I did not know the # of the color and she just told me that I had to go look on my own. We attempted to ask another person that worked there because he was at the wall and he ignored us. read more

A lovely place. Great service from Lisa. Good prices for the service provided. Nice environment

Weeks later and two emails later and the owner chooses to ignore me and blow me off. Carla is still being rude as ever at the front as well. Original review from early June Services performed Tuesday evening, by Sunday a nail chipped. I walk into salon on Monday they are happy to help me , ask what service I want, when said I just need my nails fixed, immediately Carla started saying they were too busy and booked for the night. Maybe I could get in tomorrow but Tuesday is there short staff day so that may not work. Refused to fix one nail. I had to go somewhere else, get a color that doesn't quite match and pay big bucks. Emailed the Owner same day I went by originally , no response at all. Tommy Pham read more

This rating is solely based on the BEST pedicure I think I have ever had. While I've had my nails done here once before, and they weren't anything to rave about, I want to focus on the positives- I had Lisa & would 1000% recommend her! She took her time, paid attention to detail & made sure everything was done perfectly. I will definitely be back to see her again. Thank you SO much Lisa! read more

Excellent service.. very clean and everyone is friendly. I do not like shellac on my toes and they do an excellent job with regular polish.

This nail salon is very clean and tidy. Went on a Wednesday afternoon around 315pm and was busy. However, they tended to 3 of us pretty fast. I did platinum pedicure with regular polish- there was a very limited selection for regular nail polish. Nail technician paid a lot of attention to smoothing out feet, using mostly the pumice sponge. Polish was mostly good, found a couple of missed spots. Overall decent job. Comfortable massage chairs. read more

I'm using one star since I can't do less than that. I decided to try a nails salon closer to where I live. What a mistake. When I got my nails done there it was with chrome ... and it stated peeling and chipping with the first 4 hours. So I went back and had them put just a shellac color. And within 7 days it was cracking and peeling. I'm not hard in my hands. I don't rock climb or forge iron. I won't be going back. It was too much money to have nails that peel and chip and look this crappy. read more

I went thinking this is a great place, first time I went a wonderful young lady fixed my nails including rhinestones and they looked GREAT. Wish I took a picture, this time, a terrible visit. I didn't get what I asked for, I wanted Hombre with pink and light green and chro.e on top, I was td that can't be done, so I got pink and lime green nails with chrome, bubbles that shouldn't be there, he was rough, twisted my left hand and the finish was bumpy, ridges and little bubbles, all for 80.00, then I was told I could come back in 7 days to get it fix. Do I really want to go through that again. No, I don't think so. I guess he was in a SHITTY ASS MOOD. Very disappointed read more

I got a French tip gel mani on my naturally short nails. Danny did a great job. I was able to get in quickly without a long wait time.

Do not recommend. The Manager is very cocky and not welcoming and this was my first visit. The staff are constantly huddled around each other laughing and talking about their edible drugs more than paying attention to the customer. The products are cheap, no matching dip and polish colors because "they all suck" according to the manager. Tools are reused and not sanitized and there seems to be fees charged for everything. Very overpriced! You have to take off my dip before you can put on a new dip, why charge me for that? Way overpriced for poor service, cheap products and no selection. Clearly this is to support the drug habits of the staff. Unbelievable! read more
