Lynn and Mike are no longer there. There's a new owner and she is really nice. However, be sure to ask for a menu or how much BEFORE you get anything done. I got charged $65 for tips with dip. Now I know there has been inflation and I haven't had them done since prior to Covid. BUT SERIOUSLY, that is price gouging as typically it is $35-$45 normally. The only reason I put 2 stars is because the nails were darn near perfect in appearance but won't be going back. Thank goodness I"m in an area with a lot of other choices. read more

Consistently good service and with an appointment they keep on schedule pretty well. I go occasionally and my wife goes every 3 weeks. read more

Great service and clean atmosphere. Competitive price and the owner was very friendly.

Worst ever. This place has gone down hill. The lady was super rude. Tried to force me to get gel after 10 times of me saying no and then getting upset almost having to yell NO at her. She was very rude to other guests and them began talking about us but google translate is superb so the idiot didn't realize I hit the button. I will never go here and don't recommend this dump read more

Pure Nails - Left polish on my toe. - Nail Salons Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

Terrible! I had my nails done and a couple days later 2 nails come off. I go in today to get them fixed. I'm told to wait. After waiting at least 10 minutes , I'm then told she does not have time to fix their mistakes. I told her I would not be back and she did not care. read more

I will never go back!!! I got a pedicure and got athletes foot. The nail polishes was not even put on neatly. Horrible job all the way around!!! They are always in a rush. read more

Lovely nail salon in West County! I was very pleased with the prices, services and amenities. Parking is also very easy and plentiful. Prices were $15 for regular mani, $25 for regular pedi and $37 for combo mani-pedi. I opted for the $25 regular pedi. The salon is very clean and tastefully decorated. I did bring my own polish (currently obsessed with OPI Infinite Shine) but I did notice they had a range of colors on the wall. I went midday on a weekday and there were an regular flow of 6-8 customers inside the salon. Most of the other clients were doing gel manis and seemed to be regulars so I think that's a good sign! My pedi was done very well. My technician was a male, and he was careful to trim, shape, and buff. The mini massage with the lotion was also great. The massage chairs were in great shape and were very comfortable as well. I'm also SUPER glad that none of the technicians pressure you to upgrade to any of their luxe options, all they do is simply ask at the beginning to select your service on a laminated card that explains the difference between regular, deluxe etc. I really appreciate that the technicians respect what the client wants. The only negative was that the chemical odors at this salon seemed to be stronger than at others that I have visited. I'm not sure if the ventilation was very effective that day and it was just a bit distracting. I don't mind a mild polish smell (after all, it's a nail salon); however, for some reason, it seemed particular strong that day, so I'd just caution anyone if they are extremely sensitive to that. Overall, I'm a happy camper and I will be back next time I am in the area! read more

DO NOT come here. I called ahead online to ask pricing for just a take off of old polish and the lady told me $10. I came in and told her i had an appointment and i was the one who called on the phone. She asked me if they were gel (also did on the phone) and i confirmed that they were gel and before i sat down i asked her again if it would only be $10 and she said yes. It took almost an hour for them to take off the polish and my nails were soaked in pure alcohol for almost 40 minutes. She repeatedly drilled for a little bit then put my hands back in the pure alcohol. She even tried to use a fake acrylic nail to pry the gel off but couldn't separate my nail from the gel polish and ended up ripping up from underneath my natural nail and when i said it hurt she kept going. after about 50 minutes of repeating this process she told me to go wash my hands. I was shocked because there were still several patches of gel remaining on my fingers and she didn't even buff them at the end so flakes of polish remained on every finger. She definitely was not rushed and i was the only one in the salon until half way through my appointment when one other girl came in and she was helped by a different nail tech. I got up to the counter and she pointed at a sign on the wall and said "nail take off $13 ok?" i told her no, this was not okay. this was a 30% price increase and despite it being on the wall, i called before hand and after I entered the building to confirm it was only $10. She told me that a normal nail take off is $10 but gel take off is $13. It did not say this on the wall, all it said was "nail take off $13" and did not specify the type. I also confirmed with her before beginning and on the phone before arrival that my nails were in fact gel. I will never be coming here again. For how long they took to do a horrible job and then trying to over charge me for it, this place is not worth anyone's money. You really do get what you pay for. There's a reason this establishment is always empty. read more

So I hate to give bad reviews - but I need to for this one. I have to image that it was just my experience yesterday - since it looks as if others continue to get their nails done here. While I was there - a few women came in that seem to know the staff by name. The price was good - and they are open on Sundays. Both of those a plus. So here's my beef with the place. The girl working on me seem to be very preoccupied with everything but me. The polish was actually watered down - when I got home I had to put two coats of top coats on the nails. I noticed half way through my manicure that she put the cuticle cutter she used on me in a bin with her other tools - which she had pulled from to work on me. Ewwwww. Sadly - I won't go back I do hope they read these comments and address the issue with reusing the nail tools and grow out all empty polish bottles. read more

So professional and friendly: the owner is exceptional and I keep going back just for her. Very hard working and dedicated to pleasing her clients read more

I had my nails done here for the first time a few days ago because I couldn't get to my regular salon. He only had one UV drying thing, so my gel polish wasn't cured right. It started chipping in less than 24 hours. I've been getting gel polish manicures for years and have NEVER had it chip. Three nails are chipped and the polish is rubbing off on one nail. I will just make do if I can't get to my regular salon from now on. What a waste of read more

They are extremely nice and accommodating! It's my new nail salon! I wil keep going back!

I made an appointment went in the next day for my appointment and was told they didn't have room for me. Not sure the point of making an appointment if they're not going to honor it. Well go somewhere else in the future! read more

No wait when I walked in(around 2), Sandy was very attentive and thorough. I got a pedi and fill and they didn't nickel and dime. It was very straight forward and reasonably priced. I will definitely come back! read more

I been going to this nail salon over a year now. I absolutely love them. Lynn and Mike does a wonderful job.

My wife went in and got a manicure and pedicure with gel nails before going out of town on vacation.. Within 2 days her fingernails started peeling. She called in to tell them about it and was told it would cost about $20 to fix it. This place is a horrible scam. Don't waste your money here. They do poor work and the customer service is even worse. You'll get better results doing it yourself with dollar store products. read more

Going there is a treat, in every form of the word. They will always "make room" for you. Friendly and professional, I always leave feeling relaxed and beautiful. Lin takes great care in assuring customer satisfaction. I cannot speak highly enough of Lin and her staff. They know their stuff, and I watch them sterilize and sanitize before and after every customer. A+ ! I can't wait until you reopen after the shutdown!! I never thought I'd "need" my manicurist, but here I am, and I DO! read more

I went to another nail salon to get a French manicure done before I leave for my destination wedding. It was done so poorly, so I came to pure nails to redo it on the same day. Mike came to the rescue and re-did it for me. He did it so perfectly just as I wanted. He was also kind enough to give me a discount because he felt bad for my experience at the other nail salon. I've been going to Mike ever since! read more

Well I will not be going back. Just returned from having a gel manicure and the male who works there is the worst. He got into a hurry because another customer walked there are bubbles in the polish, polish left on my skin, primer left on the skin under the nails, and sides of nails with no polish. Won't be back. Also under new ownership. read more

Friendly and very clean. Many styles and good quality service. This is the only place I go.

Love Pure Nails! Everyone who works there is super friendly and the prices are very reasonable.

I have been a client of Lynn and Mike's salon for several years. You can expect attention to detail and quality work every time.

I love this place. Everyone has their favorites and this one is mine. I've been coming here for years and wouldn't go anywhere else. Yes sometimes you have to wait, but patience is virtue people. Lyn and her crew are amazing. All the employees are very friendly and they try their best to give everyone the best experience they can. Amazing service they really stand by the quality of their work, and it shows!! read more

Went yesterday. Young girl who I had not seen there in a year or so did my pedicure. She is way to rough. Will be trying somewhere else after using them for 9 years. read more

I used to go here all the time, starting about 4-5 years ago. But last year I stopped. I feel as though the quality has fallen off. Mike and Lynn are still good and I really did love how almost everything from chipped nails to cracked ones could be fixed (and sometimes without cost). But a number of more recent employees are not up to their standards, plus I wasn't sure they could actually understand me when I did try some corrections/requests. When I started being dissatisfied more times than not, I figured it was time to stop going. read more

Just received the literal worst mani pedi I have ever received. The guy cut all of my toe nails as far down to the skin as they go, and cut my big toe nails completely diagonal going downwards into the sides of my nail and now they look completely deformed but left the painful ingrowns I asked him to trim. He didn't even clean out under the nails, I did it myself with tweezers when I returned home. He also BARELY exfoliated the bottom of my feet. The entire time he was doing my toes and fingers he was rude and acting like he was in some massive rush but there was nobody waiting to be helped and we were nowhere near closing time. For my fingers, I got dip and he absolutely tore up my cuticles and the skin around my nails with the filing block and then proceeded to put ALCOHOL on the torn up newly damaged skin. He also left me covered in dip ALL OVER my fingers and my nails were adhered to my skin on the edges with excess dip. I asked for the classic pedi and my total was $75 so I guess this god awful hack job of a dip polish was $50????????? I wish I would have said something while I was there but my skin was (still is) burning where he tore it up around my fingernails and I just wanted to get the F out of there. Save yourself the pain and go literally ANYWHERE else!!!!!!!!! read more

So I decided to try this place b/c it's in the area and b/c of the nice somewhat stellar tips and reviews. The place, people, and service are perfectly pleasant and the prices are reasonable--slightly cheaper than other places I've gone to. Got a shellac manicure for the first time. The manicure (which looked sort of extra thick after it dried) was done on Wednesday. By Friday night I noticed those little white crackly-bubbly lines at the bases of my cuticles like the polish is getting ready to peel off. By Sunday, the shellac/polish on one of my nails peeled right off. I guess you get what you pay for. Don't think I'll be returning. read more

Just went there for the first time and loved it! The lady who did my nails was extremely nice. My nails look awesome. I will definitely become a regular here. Not only are they close to my house, but they are friendly and do really good work. read more

Pure Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

After moving out to the County, I had yet to find a nail salon that is really close by + reasonably priced. My search is now over! I've been spoiled in the past with having a nail salon less than 5 minutes away, and now I can say that I still have that convenience! The salon is clean and has quite a few pedi chairs, although not too many mani tables. I came in for a pedi (walk-in, no wait), which lasted 30 minutes. The lady working on my nails was efficient but not rushed. There were quite a few ppl in the salon getting their nails done, and it sounds like they have a lot of "regulars". Prices here are reasonable, and they have mani/pedi packages which essentially is the cost of the pedi + a $10 manicure. I will def be back! read more

This is my go-to spot to get my nails done. I've been to so many nail salons in the area, and this one is exceeds expectations for a wonderful price! I normally see Lynn, and she does such a great job. However, today I saw Mike, and honestly, my nails have never looked better. He asked me many times throughout my appointment if my nails looked how I wanted, and he checked his work repeatedly to fix little imperfections. I've always loved this place, but today was beyond what I'm used to. A truly amazing experience! read more

Pure Nails - Full set done by Mike - Nail Salons Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

Tried this place because I was in the area and def enjoyed it. My full set is awesome. I tried a shape that was a bit more challenging and they did great! Pedi was nice too although the place I go to jk nails in ellisbville really massages your legs and feet whereas this place hardly did that, remind you I was the only person in the salon. Got brows waxed and I'm usually very particular with my eye brows but she did a great job, her name was Lynn. It will remain my second choice of places for my pampering but def not my first for a pedi. read more

This is the ONLY place to come and get your nails done. Serious pampering and the nail gels last longer than any other place I've been to in St. Louis. Lynn is a great lady who will greet you with a smile and make sure that you are pleased with the results.. Oh, and did I tell you they have a million colors to choose from? I always have to spend time looking at all of the cool colors! Enjoy this place...it ROCKS! read more

I had to change nail salons because I moved. I was really bummed out because I loved my old place. I decided to try the closest to my home. I have been satisfied with the service I have gotten. This is walk in only. But if you call and ask for a specific person, they will let you know what time to come in. I usually go to Cindy (Thanks to you yelpers, who highly recommended her). I call ahead and I get in when they tell me too. Cindy does a good job. Like I said before, I miss my old salon, but I would definitely recommend to others. **Side Note- I love the way Lynn does my eyebrows. read more

Terrible job on my nails. So thick they bubbled up. My heels were as dry and ashy as before I went in. Very disappointed with their customer service and response to my concerns. Don't waste your money or time. Low quality nail salon . read more

Pure Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

Pure Nails has been my choice of nail salons for the last six years. Unfortunately after today I will need to find a new salon. The service has gotten worst over the last year or so and the quality is slowly declining. Nails are uneven in thickness and there are bubbles in the polish. The nail technician was on the phone for over 2/3 of the session. RUDE and completely unprofessional. read more

I had one of the best powder dips today from Lynn! Awesome they are open on Sundays. Major bonus is I was in the chair and out in an hour. That never happens. Definitely going back! read more

Absolutely love them! Thet always take care of me like im family they have the best prices and EVERYONE there does an amazing job i couldnt be more happy with my services. Im also not one for making appointments and they accommodate me with that. read more

I stopped going here a few months ago after one girl made my toes bleed and hurt so badly I could barely walk. She was digging around the sides of my big toenails and ripping the skin off. No i did not have ingrown toenails. This was a horrifying experience. This was the girl that's usually on her phone and has her hair in a big bun. I regret letting her touch my feet but I have found a much better place now. read more

I've been here a total of 3 times. once for fun once for homecoming and once for prom. 2/3 of my experiences were good but my prom nails were not. The man doing my nails did not give me what I asked for at all. i showed him a reference picture he looked at it for about 5 seconds and never looked at it again. I asked for almond and got coffin, I asked for a nude base coat and didn't get it, and the design is completely wrong From the picture and on top of that the application is messy and rushed. he didn't file my nails either, it has been a week and 6 of my nails are already broke/ gone. The day after I got them 2 had already broke. this place is fine if you just want one simple solid color but if you want a design I don't recommend going here and I also don't recommend letting the man do your nails. On top of that, my friend asked for an ombré and the young lady gave her all of the color she asked for, no ombre at all, and the shape of her nails were all somewhat sized differently. read more

I recently moved to West County from the Richmond Heights area and was looking for a new nail place. I was a regular for years at Beautiful Nails off of Big Bend and am very particular on how my nails are done. After trying a few places, I stumbled upon Pure Nails. They have fair prices (but aren't the cheapest) and do a great job. Helen does the fastest job I've ever had on an acrylic fill and I couldn't have been happier. I've had better pedis, but for hands, this place is my new spot. read more
