Came to this place because I didn't want to drive across town. It was a mistake and more expensive. Not clean, the chairs are not wiped down and they don't use new nail files or scrubber. read more

Messy, sloppy, unprofessional. Tried to get me to pay for gel pedicure when I told them I don't want gel so they asked if I brought my own nail polish.. ugh no! Tried to get me to pay for more expensive pedicure when I don't need callus removal. Never again. read more

I went in for a full set of nails and the tech who put them on used tips that were too big for my fingers resulting in nails that flared outward. They began lifting less than a week later and my natural nail wasn't even adhered to the tip. I opted for a pink glitter powder and he started it way too high so you could easily see my natural nail underneath. They were too thick at the base of my nail as well. They gave me a little card that after 5 treatments I would receive $5.00 off. I will not be returning for a second stamp. I went to another salon who removed them and put a whole new set on. So I essentially wasted $45.00 by coming here. read more

Solar nails and spa.. Biggest mistake ever trying it out. Board: regular set 20$ Once done guy: 40$ mmm??? I ask why.. He says for coffin shape.. Mmm shape is regular. Not to mention.. He did 3 nails not straight and when i asked him to fix he said that's my fingers lol. When i asked him why is he over charging me he starts to tell me you don't like me cutt off you go home. Another employee comes over. They both talk in chinese. She says okay 30... ?? Mmmm?? Doesn't every salon do a regular nail color for free or did it just go up 10$... Never going there again. And i hope this helps if you are thinking of trying. read more

Do not waste your money here. When we first walked in, I noticed how dirty and trashy it was, but decided to give it a chance. I should have walked out immediately. When I was choosing which pedicure to get, my nail person was almost forcing me to get the most expensive options, despite me telling her multiple times I wanted the basic pedicure. I finally convinced her that I would rather not get sprayed with cheap perfume and a simple pedicure would be just fine. She proceeded to drill my regular nail polish off my toes, after I told her it wasn't gel. She didn't even cut my nails or clean up the polish job. Terrible experience and I definitely do not recommend. read more

Wow Amazing ! My friends and i have been coming here for a few times now. They always did very nice jobs . All the techs are friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended this salon. read more

Super clean and friendly staff! I've been here a few times and left happy with each manicure. The nails never lifted like the previous reviewer stated. Reasonable prices, walk ins accepted. They will work with you whether you are in a hurry or like me, I brought in a design and it was done better than I could ever imagined! (See picture) read more

I got a mani-pedi here I was seated as soon as I arrived. They were friendly and did a great job. I will definitely be returning.

Been waiting here for 40 minutes so my daughter can get a manicure (she's 5 so it shouldn't take long). They let 2 other girls that came in after me go before me and they're getting a FULL SET. Another girl walks in asking for a pedicure meanwhile im still here waiting for my daughter to get her manicure . Seriously? They see me and they even looked at me and still let help other clients that came in AFTER ME . These people are just walk-ins . Why in the world are they making me wait instead of having the people who came in after me wait instead. This is bs. read more

First off..... Yen is my go to there for the past few months and when she does my nails they never I mean NEVER fall off or even feel like they are going to within a 3.5 week time frame. She does my nails a certain way and is the only one I will trust with my nails as long as I can help it. Everyone there is friendly and my nail appointment is always greeted with Yen waiting for me at the exact time I schedule with her. I highly suggest this nail salon!!! read more

Only go to the ladies ! I always get them done there and I know what a good pedicure is ! Especially for $43 I should be paying for quality. It's only been a week and my gel pedicure it's already coming off (last a month usually). And when I said something he looked at me like he I was crazy and it took him like 20 min. Didn't even file any of them and all my cuticles look horrible and the nails weren't shaped nicely at all. I'll be going back but making sure I know who does them ! read more

I've been coming here for a while now and literally the only person who I love how they do my pedicure is M.Y. Today my sister wanted to go so I went and M.Y. Wasn't there I still stayed and This older lady in a camouflage jacket with glasses attended me, I unfortunately didn't get a name. Anyway she rushed my pedicure, cut me on my toe with the drill. I had asked for package #1 and she said $43 and I said ok. She proceeded to do additional things like sea salt without me telling her to. After telling her she said no you said package #2 which was pricer & I said no I didn't. (My sister also heard everything.) so I said ok that's fine. I then gave her my color and she kept insisting I get the one she was recommending. She insisted about 4 times and I said no I want this color. To top it off my nails are slanted as shown in the pictures ! They look a slight bit different since one was taken with flash at home and one in the car. NEVER coming back ! read more

This 'nail salon' is so horrible and over priced I paid 45 for a full set just ONE color and and the nails were short, some nails were larger than the other nails. The full set lasted for about a week, and the nails started falling off for the simplest way I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SALON AT ALL. read more

I won't waste my time and money on this place again. I am very unsatisfied. Each time I asked for something to get corrected, it ended up worst. Also don't like that no gloves are used. I asked for a discount due to I still being unhappy and they declined. I paid $40 for these horrible nails read more

A great friend of mine treated us both to a mani/pedi. It was amazing!! The leg and foot massages were phenomenal and my feet feel so soft and smooth. read more

I came here with my family and had a regular mani and pedi for me and my little one and deluxe pedi for hubby. Nail polishes are limited and most of them are halfway empty (3 stars). The spa chairs are dated. My chair was only doing upper back massage, the setting won't go to lower back so, I gave up (2 stars). Soap that you use for washing your hand was watered down, I mean, really?(1 star)Last but not the least, their service was unpredictable- Hubby and my little one both had good experiences (4 stars) while the guy that did my mani & pedi was just unpleasant (1 star!), he apparently did not like my answer when I told him that I don't want my calluses removed so I'm only getting regular mani and pedi (No Extras!!). That basically did it, he gave the most minimum service he can give me. No customer service at all, very disappointing. Not coming back here. read more

Very dirty!!! Paid for a gel manicure that is lumpy and coming off a day after having them done.

Went in for an early fill. I'm talking about 1 1/2 weeks at the most. Multiple times the technician caught my skin with the drill. I understand accidents happen. However not once did the technician even acknowledge the situation. Every time I would pull away in pain he would just stare at me blankly. When it was time to pay I was told $20 even though the giant price sign above my head said $18. I pointed that out to the technician and again just a blank stare and told no $20. Lesson learned not returning. read more

This was the WORST experience I have ever had. Do not go here! I just got my nails done here and now have to go find another nail salon, to fix all the problems I now have. What a waste of money spent! read more

This place is TRASH the gel pedicure is tacky. prices are over priced for awful products and disappointing service. 40$ for a gel acrylic nails that looked worse than press on nails. Princess nails is full of amateurs, you would get a better full set and pedicure at a beauty college for a way better price. Will never be returning read more

Had my nails done today by Yen she did a fantastic job!! I love the way they came out!!! She is gentle very professional and accurate! My hubby enjoyed a pedicure while at the same time! Which includes callous removal. Nice n soft feet!! We will definitely be back!! read more

I originally wanted my normal nails painted with a normal polish (not gel). My nail technician started doing acrylics. I decided that since he already started with them, I would get coffin nails. I showed him a few pictures and even told him how my regular nail girl does them. He was extremely rough and didn't give me the right shape at all. I told him that I need to go so I will come back to get them painted. He was drilling my nails at the time and once I told him that, he started touching the skin on my finger with the drill :/ I will not be back. read more

Great experience! They close at 530 and when we walked in at 528 they were so welcoming! Did a great job with nails and wax!!! Be back in 2 weeks! read more

Waited an hour! No one bothered to tell us there was this kind of wait. They also do not sanitize their bowls. Beware!

I came for a pedicure and it was horrible! $33 for it to be done in a rush! Less than 10 minutes.. Unprofessional and dirty place. Never coming here again. read more

They took the time and worked on my callus' and then really made my feet and legs feel good. I will definitely be back.

Went in for a pedi today and the ladies were SO very pushy. I've had 100's of pedicures and know what I want; please do not try and up sell me the entire time. It's annoying. read more

Just got a pedicure today horrible job it looks like a 3year old did it they just rush me out the door before my nails dry never going back.

I felt very rushed and they didn't allow my toenails to dry. As soon as she put the top coat on, she immediately took my sandals and put them on. When I walked out, I notice she smudged two toenails! I wanted to go back but they were telling people that they were "closed" in a rude way... I didn't bother to go back. Honestly, they do a sloppy job and their lotion is cheap stinky lotion that makes your skin itch after. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go there. read more

The worst nail shop I've ever stepped foot in, and trust me I've been to plenty. The customer service is horrendous. When you have a business not only do you have to provide great work, but you have to be pleasant as well. I am being nice by rating a 1 star, and that's only because I need to choose 1 star to leave a review, but this place deserves nothing, zero, zilch! I didn't even make it to the damn chair. I walked in a right away the lady looked at me up and down pointed at me and started talking in her native language. At that point I was shocked. She can over to me and said "how may help?" I then asked her what she had said about me? She immediately got super defensive and started yelling at me denying she was speaking ill of me. Then out of nowhere all the nail techs started yelling at me. If she didn't mean to point towards me and look at me the way then she should have been apologetic and just handled the whole situation differently. However she did not even offer any type of apology whatsoever. I had a gift certificate that my husband gave me for Christmas which was so sweet of him, but now all I want is for him to get his refund back. The whole shops behavior was unacceptable. You don't run a business that way. I have submitted a complaint with the better business bureau and I hope they cooperate and give us a refund ASAP. read more

This is place is horrible. Not even after 3 days if getting acrylics they started coming of and in fact 2 of them did. I also got the gel polish which started chipping off after 2 days... Which is total bullshit. I went back and told them what happened and the lady bitch the whole entire time she was fixing them she even tried to charge me to repair the ones that came off. I will never go back. read more

I used to like coming here because of the callous removal but now it just seems like they are getting lazy. I have timed the five minute massage and they don't last the complete five minutes. Service seems so rushed all the time. Solar nails is all about the money and not the client it has really gone down hill. read more

They were upset that i didn't want gel polish on my nails. The guy who did my full set cut my fingers up like everyone of them. When it came time to polish then he made me pay first and i did. Sayn If it messes up thrn its my fault for not wanting gel. Then he did a butch job with the polish. And didnt let mr put my hands on a fan or under the light. But made me get my stuff and move which resulted in my wet nails getting ruined. I am do disappointed because I love when i get my pedicures here. But I won't make the mistake to do a full set read more

I am always happy with my nails. This is the only place I've been where my nails are as short as I want them. I never make an appointment and the wait is never longer than 5 minutes. Clean. read more

This is a CASH ONLY establishment for those that don't carry cash. They have an ATM Inside. I asked how much for a regular pedicure and the lady showed me a price sheet with packages. The cheapest was $25. When I opened the brochure I found a spa pedicure for $18. I told the lady I wanted that one and she got irritated. I was then seated and a guy helped me. He tried selling me on the $25 pedicure and kept pushing for me to get a design, and manicure. He did a decent job but I was completely turned off by him trying to get me to do something else every few minutes. read more

I enjoy how they take special time to do a good job every time I go in for the last 2 years. I drive 45 minutes for my feet and nails. They massage your feet and legs and attend to any detail you ask for no additional charge, but gel does cost but well worth it. Thanks Minh for a great job all the time and the other guys are great too. read more
