I am so happy I discovered Lily C at Planet Nails! It's easy to make an appointment online, I am always greeted with a smile and everyone there is so friendly. The pedicure chairs are wonderful! Usually someone comes by with cold cans of sparkling water, which makes me feel pampered and valued. Lily C is a delight to spend time with as she does my builder gel nails. She's artistic and can do anything if you bring her an inspiration photo. One thing I really appreciate: I lost a fingernail in an accident and it has taken forever to get it to grow back in a healthy way. She's advised me on the right way to treat my nail and is always extra careful so it doesn't hurt. I always enjoy talking with her, too! I am moving to Spain next month and she will be missed. The only other thing I'd mention (and it's still 5 stars!) is that interior is dated and could use a refresh and tidying up. It would be worth closing for a few days to give the place a makeover. This is a superficial thing yet there are lots of choices for nail salons in Boulder and I'd like to see Planet Nails' interior reflect the excellent service and wonderful people that work there. read more

I thought the second experience here would be the same or similar as the first. Unfortunately, I was met with genuinely the worst service and an extremely rude nail technician. She was impatient almost the entire time and would get aggravated and would cut me off whenever I would ask a simple question about my cuticles or asking if she can cut a nail more since it was uneven. When she was cutting and filing my nails, she constantly kept nicking me and was cutting deeply in my skin on 5 DIFFERENT fingers. It constantly was stinging and throbbing even after I left!! I'm so saddened by this, especially since last time it was a great experience for me. But if one nail technician is able to hurt me this bad, I can no longer trust other technicians. read more

I'd give this place 4 stars. A friend and I came over the weekend to get bubble pedicures. It was really busy and we had to wait, even though we made appointments. I would suggest going mid-week if you can. The pedicure chairs were really big and offered arm and thigh massages. The opulent pedicure chairs were a big plus! I didn't get a lot of leg massage during my pedicure, but the shape of my nails and color application was great! Good work overall. Prices were average, even a little cheaper for the area. Here are my critiques - the shop is pretty small and there really isn't a lot of space to wait to be seen. My friend wanted a regular pedicure, but was handed a book with only gel colors and so there was a mixup where she got gel instead of regular polish. I would suggest this place if you're in the area and want a quick service type of treatment. If you're looking for a more spa like experience, I would recommend going to another spot. read more

My partner and I made last minute appointments for pedicures and were so pleased with the service David and Tina provided to us. Parking was vast as we came in early. Not to mention the lot is large and shared with other small businesses and King Soopers. Seating was comfortable and the pedicure options were many (both for bubbles and colors). I appreciated the book of colors to choose from for nail color. The even more exciting part was that they each were available for both regular polish and gel (so you can match your fingers to your toes). The atmosphere was calm and while the tv was on (American idol) it was at a level that was easy to either decide to listen to or tune out. Both David and Tina were intentional and in tune with our individual needs. The only things that could have made it better for me was some magazines to read and beverages. Both may have been available as we did not request these items. Will be back. Highly recommend. read more

I really wanted to like my Christmas Mani/Pedi today, after my monthly aesthetician (waxing) appointment in Boulder, since I didn't have time to get back to Denver for one, and since salons are open later in Boulder. Unfortunately, my gel pedicure didn't trim my nails short enough, or ask me, and my dip manicure didn't make all my nails even when I wanted file only. More importantly, initially I said I'd match my hands to my toes, but later wanted a "white gold," and asked to look at the color swatches again. I was never brought them, and instead this gold was recommended. I said, sure, I'll try it, and I didn't like it that much with the dip powder, but she said it'd look beautiful once done, with the gel color on top. After 2.5-hours of my mani / pedi, by the time it was done, I thought the gold is way too yellow, not at all the white gold I wanted / for which I asked, but I didn't want to invest any more time, so now I need to re-do it. I even asked ChatGPT, to see if I was imagining this gold being terrible on my skin color, and even AI agreed it looks bad. So I'm disappointed, after also investing a lot of money, and needing to file a few of my toenails smooth, as some also had sharp edges, and I didn't want to rip my sheets. I wish I'd been more adamant about wanting to see the colors again to choose my "white gold" rather than just trusting. read more

Against my better judgement, I decided to try a new place for a pedicure because I had time to kill while in Boulder and I was due for one. Never again. The woman who did my nails was super sweet, but my nails looked horrible and the bubble pedicure was nothing special and not worth the extra $10. My nails weren't cut or filed evenly and some are crooked and cut at an angle. I'm not sure what happened there. The woman also put way too much nail polish on that even after the timer went off after drying my nails, I still ended up having all of the polish smudge off just minutes when I got to my car so three nails lost their polish, and I'm very careful even after waiting for them to dry in the salon. It's the worst pedicure I've gotten and I wish I had just waited to go to my usual for the past 15 years, B Nails in Denver. Thankfully, nails will grow and I can get them fixed back at my usual, so it's not the end of the world, but it was just really disappointing and a waste of money when I was really looking forward to a pedicure. read more

Planet Nails - Nails by Jenny - Waxing Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Have been looking for a place near me that does GelX for years and finally found Planet Nails. Jenny did my nails and I absolutely loved the results. She was so detail oriented and ensured throughout the whole time that I was liking everything. Would highly recommend read more

My daughter & I went to the salon again yesterday on her bday for a set of bday nails for her & just a regular clear mani for me. We've been here about a dozen times over the past several years without issues. I wouldn't say it's top quality, but I've not had any problems there until this time... The staff was very friendly to our faces. & Then turned around & spent the entire appointment saying nasty things about us to the other staff members, assuming we couldn't understand her. When one of the employees noticed we started getting uncomfortable with what was being said, she started to disengage with the older woman who apparently really needs to fuel herself off of pure negativity. I texted my kids that we wanted to get out of there ASAP after our manis. 1 clear (VERY sloppy) dip manicure & 1 set of short acrylics with 1 plain black star design on 1 nail...took nearly 2 hours. Which isn't TOO terrible IF they had done a stellar job. My daughter was sliced by the employee doing her set & when it started to bleed the employee tried to put alcohol on it!! And then proceeded to rip it open even further causing more bleeding & intense pain. We are about to leave the house to head to an urgent care to get her antibiotics for it, as it's already started to flare up. Which also tells us that this place is not only unprofessional quality & rush even when there's nobody else around..but that they're extremely unsanitary!!! Don't waste your time or money here. The 1 person who used to do an amazing job at this place no longer does the same thourough job she used to do in keeping the place together & highly functional. I am very disappointed in the experience that we had & we will definitely never be returning to this salon. We really wanted to make this our go-to place after we saw Eagle go downhill in the exact same way the past couple years. It seems to be the trend in Boulder. Upping prices again would be entirely reasonable if clients were actually able to reliably get a QUALITY mani or pedi. Boulder is so disappointing in that regard in almost every sector. You're better off driving to Denver, it's the only place we've found any reliably decent salons that haven't shut down or switched owners since Covid! I have mixed feelings in posting this review because I really liked the lady who did my nails the first half dozen times as I went here. She was very sweet and accomodating.. but it sounds like she just wasn't able to retain staff with a similarly integrity-driven vibe. So I really wanted this to be our family's place. We do weekly salon visits for repairs, etc bc we have to maintain professional looking nails constantly. So this would've been a great opportunity for them too. I guess we will continue our search read more

I don't know where to begin. I have never ever in the history of My having a Mani Pedi had the service take 3+ hours. And it is just OK, not the best that I've ever had. They switched nail techs on me. I probably would've been out of there in under two hours if that had not have happened. They are also extremely rude to you on the phone. And 2 broken nails 1 week later. read more

I'm impressed each time I leave this salon! The staff is hospitable in ways I've never experienced at a nail salon, and the techs are well rounded. I've requested most services, from cat eye polish to pigment powders and 3D gels, they do it all! The techs have a great eye for details in reference photos so you can expect your nails to look just like, or very close to, your favorite pictures. I'm indecisive, so I came in with multiple reference photos that had attributes I really liked, and my hands came out looking better than anything I could have imagined. Also, they really get into the spirit of special occasions. For the month of December they did a spinning wheel give away where you could get complimentary services, or gifts. I got a super cute, tiny tea set that I used during my holiday party. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

I had Jenny today to do a rebase and repair of some problem spots I had from a previous visit. Jenny was extremely accommodating and offered to give me a free rebase and refund me from the last visit where I was unsatisfied. This nail service is extremely conscientious about the services they provide and I am convinced that my last visit was a very rare occurrence. They will do what they must to keep their clientele and that alone says so much about the business they run. I highly recommend them because of the fair way they treat everyone and they are experienced and up to date on newer techniques. My next visit Jenny will help me transit to the new gel X which is healthier for your nails. I can't wait to try them out. Thank you, Jenny and planet Nails. read more

Planet Nails - French gel manicure and regular pedicure - Waxing Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

We've gotten quite good at doing our own mani/pedis so expectations are high when we have to pay. In town for a wedding, we scoured area nail salons on Yelp far too long. Planet Nails had the least negative reviews but also had the least appealing store front. The staff, however, kindly received us and Miss Africa was a pleasant surprise! She was very kind, gentle and oh so thorough with my basic pedi. Meanwhile, my daughter wasn't as satisfied with her French dip mani done by Jenny the manager. Admittedly, she did ask to have her nails cut short, so she didn't mention a word to me or the manager and was ready to go. But the manager noticed on her discontent. In a very professional conversation, she offered to fix what wasn't right. She had Africa remove what she (the manager) had just done, then Africa did a new mani very much to her liking. If we lived here, we'd definitely come back! Update: I've discovered we were charged for the fix! Again, my daughter didn't mention a word to me or the manager. If I had known, I'll assume they would've comped the fix or at least discounted it. read more

Jenny at Planet Nails went above and beyond to make sure I enjoyed my experience getting my nails done. I had never gotten a manicure before and she made sure I was satisfied throughout my entire visit! It was also very relaxing and I enjoyed my time! I will definitely be returning the next time I want my nails done! read more

As much as I want to gate keep this place, I have to give it the review it deserves. I had an appointment at 5:30 with Jenny and it was right on time, I had to have acrylics removed from another place and she took so much time and care taking those off (I've had other places literally rip them off my nails before) I got Gel X extensions and even though I got relatively basic nails design wise, they're SO well done and definitely some of my favorite nails I've ever gotten LOVE this place, about to become a long time regular read more

Amazing nails!!! They did my nails for my wedding and did a beautiful floral design. They held up so well and looked sooo good.

This place is so great. The nicest people and they are serious perfectionists. One of my "builder gel" nails popped off (due to trying to open a plastic container). They were so kind about fixing it and they would not accept even a tip. They also re-did a couple other nails that I didn't even see a problem with lol. Very nice and skilled technicians--like I said, the one that popped off was fully my fault! read more
