I've been to Solar Nails many times over the last ten years. The staff is always very nice and the salon is clean. I went in today, had my acrylics taken off,and did a dip manicure. I'm happy with the results. They're a little shorter than I would've liked, but my nails were weak from the acrylic, and some nails grew more than others and had to be evened out. Some technicians are better than others, but everyone does a decent job. Walk in wait isn't too bad. Today I waited 30min. They do take appointments. read more

I have been going to solar for YEARS. I have probably gotten at least 30 sets and I've had very little bad experiences. The only times I've had bad experiences, they always made it better. Today, I had Amy and she was amazing! I would absolutely recommend Amy. I got a full set and they turned out amazing! It's one of the best sets I've gotten! read more

I absolutely loved my nails! Cindy was wonderful. She checked over and over again to make sure my nails were even. I dont think anyone has ever been so caeed read more

My daughter and I came in for pedicures. We usually make an appointment, which I recommend. They were accommodating. The nail technicians do a great job here. The salon is clean. It is very busy. I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. I highly value the service. read more

Got my nails done with gel on a Friday evening, and they were already chipping Sunday morning (for no reason - I barely did anything with them to chip). When I went there to see if they could just fix 1 nail quickly, no one addressed me when I walked in and I had to walk up to a worker to ask. He told me that there were 10 people waiting and I had to wait my turn... when I expressed my frustration from being there less than 48 hours before, and already waiting my turn on Friday evening, they did not care and told me it didn't matter. They were pretty rude about it. I was told I had to wait. Sadly, it was also my birthday so I had limited time and left. I had experiences similar in the past here, but ignored it. Another time I was getting my nails done and asked to get the gel off my toes. They told me it would've been a $20 charge. I said no, and they conveniently dropped the price to $10, so it's pretty shady. I won't be back. read more

great service, very clean and relaxing. Easy to make an appointment and lots of time openings.

waited an hour when they took walk ins over me waiting and kept making eye contact w me as I was sitting, knowing I was still waiting

Very disappointed, I been going to solar for years and I never know what of service I will get until I'm sitting in the chair. Sometimes it's great and they do a nice job, majority of the time is it complete opposite and not so great. I think I hit my breaking point this last service though and will not coming back any time soon. Theses were supposed to be my vacation nails but they definitely do not look like vacation nails to me, this was there way of fixing the jerked up French tips I got by covering it with another polish but you can still see the French tip underneath. This was an awful and lazy fix. The French tip should've been removed instead of just printed over on. Excuse my feet lol. read more

Terrible service! Terrible manicure & pedicure. Manicurist was going to skip paraffin because he was running behind. I had to ask him to refill my nails because they were jagged and uneven. Nail polish was a sticky mess. I had an appointment and he was 1/2 hr late taking me. I would Never return! read more

Manager rude & VERY unhelpful. I scheduled on line got to the salon & was told that person does not do Acrylics. OK fine give me someone else. He just sat there on his phone talking & laughing to the workers in his language. Felt extremely uncomfortable. Will NEVER go back or recommend to anyone. read more

I got a full color french tip set, service was great! My tech was very hospitable and the vibe was homey! read more

It was an okay place for the price to get my acrylic nails done. They got nail polish all over my skin and hit my skin with one of the machines they use. I got all white acrylics with only silver sparkles on the pointer finger and gel for only $40, which wasn't a bad price. read more

I have been going to Solar Nails since 2019. I usually pay cash. You get a discount when you pay cash. I usually just give the extra money to my nail tech in addition to my normal $10 tip. Today the owner did my nails. He knew I usually pay cash. I told him I was paying with two Master card gift cards I got as Mother's day gifts.I also told him I was paying the ip in cash. He said that each card was denied and I had to pay another way. I ended up paying cash and tipping him and the woman who did my pedicure $10 each. When I got home I called Mastercard to see what was going on with my gift cards. The woman I spoke to new I had tried to use them at Solar Nails. She said that the reason they didn't work was because he was trying to add a $10 tip and doing so put it over the limit. He was absolutely trying to rip me off. I'm so angry by this. I spent $120 a month there. No more! BE AWARE read more

Nice people! Had a great time. The fiancée was a big fan. They put me away for a pedicure, a little further towards the back, which I appreciated. read more

I made an appointment for 2:30 and I come in a few minutes before and all of their chairs are full... and the girl behind me has an appointment for 2:30 as well if you have appointments why are all of your chairs full.

Solar nails was always my favorite nail salon in lockport as I never thought the other salons around were as good. However, I feel as though I'm always leaving there with some small issue that I felt they could have done a better job on. For example all of my acrylic nails wouldn't be the same length or the shape may be off on a couple nails, but it has never been a big enough issue to stop me from going there. I recently had an acrylic nail fall off and underneath I found my nail to be covered in fungus. This disgusted me beyond belief so I decided to take off the rest of my nails to find that there was fungus on 7/10 of nails. My friend who I go there with also had fungus on 2 of her nails. I decided to take mine off myself as I never want to go back there for the negligence and uncleanliness that they displayed by giving me fungus to begin with. However, my friend went there to get her acrylic nails removed and the lady ripped them off of her fingers, causing her an immense amount of pain and making her fingers bleed. They do not seem to care about the health and safety of their customers and only care about making money. I will NEVER be going to this establishment again. read more

I've come here time and time again because if the friendly staff and spectacular selection of gel polish. Quality depends of your nail technician I learned the hard way. Some just rush to get you out as soon as possible and when that happens I am next pleased with the results. My last gel polish change I got here they insisted I do it in my chair during my pedi and it lasted less then a week because she did such a poor job. This time I went I got a full on manicure while they were slow but the man who did it still rushed and did a poor job. I'm in my car picking the gel polish off my skin and there is still dirt under my nails. I'm truly truly disappointed this time because my nails don't look like they look like they were professionally done at all and don't think I will be back after this. read more

I've been going here over a year now for my acrylic nails and they really do a good job everytime. Everyone I work with is always complimenting me and as a waitress a lot of people see my nails and compliment them as well. If you see you have a crooked nail or that your gel isn't perfect, they'll fix it for you and make sure you're 100% happy with them. read more

I am pretty pleased with this nail salon. This was my first time going here and it is generally clean. The waiting area could use some more seating and the whole place could use a little face lift but the service was good! $25 for gel nail and the nail tech did a great job! I would definitely go back. read more

Awful experience here. Left not happy with my nails. Went back and was treated very rudely because I said I wasn't happy. It's ok tho because I went over to Queen nails in Lockport. They did an amazing job. They were very nice and will get my future business. read more

I used to love going here! I've been going here since 2014. Today was the usual pedicure and fill. This time when I went to pay they told me my card was broken, their machine said chip malfunction and then they preceded to try my card again. They charged my card twice of $57. I ended up having to call my bank to get the money back. I am highly disappointed that this place for not knowing how to use debit/cards when the owners aren't around. I am not sure as of now if I will be going back to them. read more

It was Saturday and when I walked in it was emptier than I expected. I went in for a filling for my acrylics and I had a lady named Beverly. She was so nice and rocked my nails. I was a little nervous since I wasn't sure if she would do a good job but she was fantastic. We chatted and she filled my nails with ease. She cleaned my cuticles and was very detailed with what she was doing. I am definitely coming back to her in the future read more

My favorite nail place! Love their custom service. They go above and beyond to make you feel special

Went in the Saturday before mothers day and waited over an hour and a half before anyone even attempted to start taking off my gel polish after I had been told it would be a half hour wait. The man that did my manicure rushed through it and hardly gave me a manicure. Once I walked out I noticed I had gel polish all over my skin. Not even 5 days later and the nail polish is peeling and chipping. read more

Average service. The girls were nice but my mother was cut during her manicure. I've had better gel manis but this one was fine for the price. I got a pedicure too and it was ok. Nothing amazing. Again for the price I guess it was worth it. But I would look for an alternative. The place was packed when I went so maybe it was a fluke day. read more

Always a great experience!!! I am extremely picky about my nails but they always do an amazing job. Super friendly and helpful!

Not pleased at all with the service I just got. My acrylics were filed down so much my actual nail is showing drastically. The shape was very off and not to mention the nail is very lumpy. Definitely will not be going back. read more

Gel nails lasted over two weeks, they were nicely done. However, I was with another woman and we did not see the technician open new tools. It appears the technician reused tools while doing the other woman's pedicure. Would not go back based solely on lack of proper safety and health reasons. read more

Amazing place to get your nails done, I have had them do gel nails, pedicure, and acrylics before. They are amazing at all of it, they really take care of you and don't rush. They make sure you like it and if you don't the will re-do it. They are very friendly, and is just the best place to go to get your nails done. If you use cash they have a little system where after like 5 times or so you get couple bucks off your next visit! read more

Went for a pedicure 2 weeks ago. I usually attend a different salon but the wait was too long so I figured I would try Solar Nails because I heard good things. I had a great experience. Friendly staff. However, the polish started chipping a week later and now two weeks have gone by and I have no toe nail polish left on my toes. I have never had this experience and I find myself very unpleased with the paint job. Usually a pedicure is able to last me at least a month. Guessing polish was too deluded or it was not a great brand. read more

First time here and disappointed! Got a gel manicure and on the same day my nails began to chip. Very frustrated!

My girlfriend and I treated ourselves to a much needed pedi. She started 10 mins before me and I watched as she got this amazing foot and leg rub by khang. I was not so lucky. Very quick motioned ... un massaging "massage" was what I received. Disappointing as this is my favorite part. I pointed out my problem area on my foot (the part that was dead dry itchy skin) and she barely touched it. I left still wanting to scrape my feet on the concrete and my gf left with baby smooth skin. My gf got hot towels on her feet as well and I of course did not. Both got deluxe pedi and I was done at the same time she was even though she started earlier. I will come back - but only to see khang. My polish is pretty though. read more

I love getting my nails done at Solar nails. I have only had pedicures, but they always turn out great. It is very clean and the atmosphere is low key...there isn't a lot of loud music or anything like that and I enjoy that type of atmosphere. The wait time isn't bad, especially if you can make it during the week and not the weekend. Since I found this gem two years ago, I don't go any anywhere else for my pedis. read more

I was recommended to come here by several different people. I called ahead to make an apt and they were very friendly. I didnt have to wait for my apt. Everything was very clean. All the staff said hi and was very friendly. I loved my nails!! They hand paint all the designs which are fantastic! Great prices! Am a regular now! Would recommend to anyone. read more

I have been there before and they were good but today was awful. I made an appointment for 2 people for 1:30 as I had an obligation at 3 pm. I assumed I had plenty of time. What they didn't tell me is they had a wedding party of 11 people there at the same time. We sat and waited for 1/2 hour and was told only a little while longer, probably 15 mins or so. We left. I would have gone elsewhere if they told me about the wedding party. Poor business!!! read more
