So happy I found a location that's closer to my work site in DTC. I usually go to the Lakewood location but this one had a different vibe - not as busy/loud and had a nicer layout. The location is very modern and open. I started going to Nest about 2 months ago after a horrible experience at another nail salon (a cheapy nail salon you see in every shopping plaza). I wanted to find a place that's clean and reputable. Nest is a bit expensive but trust me, it's better to spend a little extra to avoid future headaches. I feel my nails are safe at this nail salon. They give you a goodie bag your first visit (cuticle oil and file). I've been using the oil consistently and my cuticles are much better! I love that they make you wash your hands before you pick out your colors. Every nail salon should do this. After each person they wipe down their stations and change files (disposable ones are used). Sanitation is key and Nest definitely felt clean at both locations. I had Monique today and she did a wonderful job! She was very friendly and experienced. The only downfall with Nest is that you have to be on top of your appointments. Before you leave, schedule that appointment. They usually fill up quick so make sure you are on top of that. I didn't have an issue scheduling appointment with this location but with the Lakewood location is so much harder. Will be back. read more

This is definitely what I would consider a "luxury" nail spa. It's on the pricey side, but they always do a great job and are very sweet! A good spot for manis and pedis! read more

Makenna was amazing- highly recommend- attentive to detail, great skills, super sweet:)

I absolutely love this place! I have seen a couple different techs now and each one has been amazing. Pros: Great conversation, very clean salon, detailed techs and calm atmosphere. Cons: The prices are up there compared to other nails salons. I got a shellac manicure with French design and it was $10 extra for the French. Don't get me wrong they look great and the tech took her time to make sure my nails were perfect but if your looking for a cheaper option, this is not the place. Overall: I would still recommend this salon and I do plan to go back! read more

This is the most expensive nail salon that I have ever visited. I got a basic manicure and pedicure with no clear coat and nail polish applied. It cost me $90 plus tip! The only positive thing I can say about this place is that they don't use any kind of nail polish remover so the salon doesn't smell like acetone. It's once and done for me. read more

I got a Hummingbird mani/pedi at the Nest DTC in February, Nat (Nathalia) was my aesthetician. Check in was easy peasy, and they were ready for me at the appointment time. Nat was great. Friendly, efficient and checked in regularly to make sure I was comfortable and happy (e.g. asked if water temp was ok, if nail shape and length was good, if I liked the color I chose once she started to apply, etc). Salon is very cute, well lit and clean. And bonus, as this was my first visit, I got a little gift of some cuticle oil and a $5 off coupon. I had a great experience and would highly recommend. read more

I love this Nail Spa, everyone is so friendly and professional. Ever since covid, I have always been very cautious with Nail Spa's. I feel very comfortable with Nest Nail Spa. Thank you! read more

I had a pedicure yesterday with Allyssa and it was a really great experience. She was attentive and friendly and knew what she was doing. Every step of the process was amazing. I'm so sad I'm moving out of town and won't be able to come back to her again and again. read more

Saw Cali today for a pedi + shellac mani and had a great experience! It's very clean and well run, and the energy is very calming. I'm willing to pay a little more for high quality products, and definitely recommend. read more

After moving to Colorado I had to find a new nail salon for my monthly pedicures. I will say that booking was a pain, only because the salon is appointment only and they are booked 2-3 weeks out, but that is understandable. They do have a wait/cancellation list you can add yourself to, highly suggest this if you are looking for an earlier appointment. Great looking, modern salon, welcoming and warm. Comfortable salon chairs, your typical pedi, CND gel polish (or regular). I will definitely be back! read more

I went in March of 2021, one of the first moments out of the house and away from my 2 toddlers since the pandemic started. They had a lovely video of a steam, relaxing music, and my wonderful pedicurist allowed me to sit in silence and soak up the quiet. I think she could tell that was what I most desperately needed. I'm bringing my daughter back tomorrow for a Chickadee manicure. read more

Me & my girlfriend visited The Nest Nail Spa and wow! From the ease of their online booking system to the immediate friendliness of the front desk staff, we were already hooked. But then after receiving the absolute best manicures and pedicures ever, we knew we found a true gem. This place follows all the protocols, I work in healthcare so I can tell, and they are very clean. We are making this our new regular nail place, already rebooked. Definitely book in advance, they're busy! We've been to both locations and you get the same experience at both as far as great services and amazing customer service. Good job, Nest! read more

I've been here 2x for a shellac project pedicure and was underwhelmed by the experience. I appreciate that they use natural products. However, for a service that's $10/15 plus tip above other nail salons I'm not sure if it's worth it ‍ Very basic salon for the price point :-/ read more

I love this nail salon! I'm cosmetologist so I'm so happy there's a salon that actually follows state board and is clean and sanitary! My favorite things are , it's decorated super cute , you get to choose your lotion scent and that it doesn't smell like acrylic. This place is the longest lasting gel I've ever had almost 3 weeks which is the longest I've had prior was a week. Everyone is super nice and its amazing! read more

I used to be a consistent customer here, going in every 2-3 weeks to get my nails done. I wouldn't say it was anything amazing, they are a VERY BASIC nail salon with VERY HIGH prices. What really did it for me and why I stopped visiting was one really terrible experience. I brought it my BF who is a Marine and just came back from a deployment. I wanted to get his feet done since they get so beat up, I made a pedicure appointment for him while I got my hands done. The lady that worked on him was with him for 10-15 minutes and then he had to wait the remaining hour for me to finish. I ended up paying the full service amount, even though he didn't get any nail polish done (it should be at least somewhat cheaper if you get no nail polish). Once we got home he expressed that she didn't really do anything. I looked at his feet and saw she didn't take off his cuticles and un-evenly trimmed his toe nails, they looked rough. I ended up fixing it for him but when I went in the next time I expressed this frustration and dissatisfaction. The owner (a lady) came out and argued with me! She told me that's impossible and that I was wrong!!!! The owner does not care about customers AT ALL. Needless to say I am no longer a customer. DO NOT go here, literally go anywhere else. read more

I have been to this nail spa several times when I am in Denver. My experiences were good until yesterday. I had a pedicure with a tech who was not friendly at all. I asked if I could have some water and a small bottle was brought to me. I also wanted a sugar scrub instead of the file they use, that was 5.00 extra which was fine. At this salon they are supposed to give you the leftovers from whatever they use on your feet or hands, this did not happen yesterday. I checked out and the payment screen showed that I had been charged 3.00 for a bottle of water. What spa charges for water? My other issue is the tip screen was based on the total of everything, not just the pedicure charge as it should be. read more

What a FANTASTIC experience!! Thank you so much Penny for making our experience so exceptional! You are a total delight!! My daughter cannot speak enough about how amazing you are, now I get it! My toes look so great!! Thank a million!! read more

One terrible experience can be a fluke. Two terrible experiences is a trend. I made an appointment at Nest last year through their online booking system for a friend and I to have pedicures. I received a confirmation email. When we showed up for the appointment, they said they only had one of us on the schedule and for the wrong service. They had no intention of repairing the situation by offering another appointment or squeezing us in for their error. Instead they told us they were booked out for weeks and tough luck. A decided to give their terrible customer service salon another shot and booked a shellac mani pedi. Their earliest appointment was more than a month out but I waited patiently. I run a very tight schedule and don't have a lot of wiggle room to add in emergency appointments. I got a confirmation call less than 24 hours before the appointment telling me that if I had gel on my nails already I would need to have it removed prior to the appointment. This wasn't in any of the confirmation emails sent and unfortunately, I am booked back to back until my appointment. They again told me "this was on our website, you should have read the entire site prior to booking" (btw who reads an entire website prior to booking?) and that they can cancel my service but again "tough luck". Maybe they do great nails, who knows. But I won't be giving them a dime of my money just based on how rude the people who work there have been. Thanks, Tess. read more

Took 1.5 hours, $66 for just a gel manicure b/c I had gel from somewhere else (?!?!) and they are so so at best. Very nice people but not at all worth it read more

I've been to the The Nest Nail Spa-DTC on several occasions. The ambiance of the spa is spectacular and very clean, the staff is very friendly and provide great service, and their prices are a little above average. I have received several good manicures/pedicures from various manicurists there (one of which no longer works there). However, I have had a few manicures that have not been up-to-par (Shellac polish was very thick and streaky). That being said, when I called to speak to the owner, she was terse when I told her about the service I received. She offered to let me come back for a re-do (on a morning before they opened), but her tone of voice made me feel like she was put out so I decided not to even bother. She also made it a point to tell me that she was a "small business" . . . . I am all for supporting small businesses; however, the customer service I received from this small business OWNER is not acceptable to me. Needless to say, I won't be returning. read more

Felt very privileged with my first-timer goodie bag and assortment of alcoholic and no-alcoholic bevvies to sip on. They aren't fans of acrylics and I appreciate that, so don't expect any gel or dip services to be available! Cali was friendly, neat, and did such a high quality job on my shellac (pictured). The salon itself has this sultry, swanky feel to it included 3 flat screens with cool nature reels. Absolutely making this my spot! read more

I love the Nest! I've been going for years, and love the welcoming family environment! I also love that they only do natural nails, so you can have a relaxing mani or pedi without the chemical smells of your typical nail salon. Highly recommend! read more

Today was my first visit to The Nest Nail Spa. It's beautiful, very friendly and clean. I spent a lot of time researching the salon and which manicurist would meet my needs. When I got there I had a different manicurist. I thought maybe I messed up when scheduling. When I had time to review my appointment confirmation in my email, I saw I actually did select a different manicurist. I was never informed. I only wish I was contacted about the change prior to my appointment. , read more

I LOVE The Nest! I especially appreciate that they carry EVERY color that CND Shellac has to offer - not just what's trending. They're clean, friendly, and professional! Plus you won't find any dip, acrylics or nasty smells here! read more

I've been looking for a new nail place since my former lady retired. I had high expectations for The Nest. To sum up my experience, it was more expensive than other salons in the area. But the service was very bare bones. I think she massaged for a total of 20 seconds. She was starting to put my polish on with no base coat. When I asked her to please use a base coat, she used a green one that showed through my polish, and we had to start over. They don't autoclave the tools and told me they're not required to by Colorado law, but all the other places do. They didn't use a new nail file. So it didn't seem dirty, but that was a definite con for me. The technician was sweet, but the service was meh, and I worried about the sanitation. My polish peel off in 48 hours! And it was 50% more expensive than their competition. read more

This place is the cutest and the best service! I surprised my mom for the weekend visiting from out of town and The Nest was super accommodating to squeeze me in for a hummingbird pedicure on a busy Saturday. Their massage chairs are new and comfortable and they use the best locally made salts, scrubs and lotions (you get your choice of 4 scents!) and the service is heavenly. My feet feel soft and my polish is perfect! They have the greatest selection of CND Vinylux and Shellac polishes (spoiler: any other salon in the Denver area will charge you to upgrade to vinylux polish because it lasts much longer than regular polishes so consider that as they do have upper end pricing... but you get what you pay for!) I even got a goodie bag for it being my first time here. This is a top notch natural nail salon in Denver. And my last comment MAKE AN APPOINTMENT! This is not a walk in place and they seem to get booked up a couple weeks out! read more

Loved going to this spa. The staff was friendly, accommodating and very clean. I felt safe every time I went. Love the small perk of choosing my own lotion sent (they are all lovely!) Will definitely go again. read more

I really liked and enjoyed my experience at the Nest Nail spa in DTC. I got the cardinal pedicure. It cost $55 before tip, and it lasted roughly 45 minutes including a brief nail drying time. As with every business experience, there were positives and negatives about my pedicure. Positives: - it was fairly easy to get an appointment for my desired date and time just two days out. - the salon was super clean, and I definitely saw employees sanitizing the foot bowls and chairs after each client. - they use more eco and health friendly products than other salons. - my specific pedicurist was very kind, attentive, and just the right amount of talkative. - the locally made products (scrubs, masks, lotions) smelled and felt amazing! - the modern massage chairs were super functional and easy to use. - they had a good selection of polish colors and types - finally, I'm quite happy with the way my pedicure looks, even several days later. The color payoff and the quality of the paint job are both great. It was clearly done by a good artist. The negatives/constructive criticism: - while they have a lot of color choices, I did find that there were certain shades of colors that just weren't there. They had wide variety of the popular colors (pinks, reds, nudes), but then they'd have only one or two polishes in- for example- a light yellow. This really wasn't a huge deal though. - my biggest issue with my experience at this location, and the reason I only gave 4 stars instead of 5, was the length of time given on my pedicure massage. I specifically asked the length of the massage on the cardinal pedicure when I booked the appointment, and the employee at the front desk said it was a 15 minute massage. In my experience, my pedicurist spent only about 3 minutes per leg, totaling about 6-7 minutes overall. I actually was able to see the clock from my chair, and I was a little shocked to see her cut it so short. While the massage felt AMAZING (really, she was so good) I do truly feel like I was shorted by a relatively substantial amount of time. I considered mentioning this to the owner, but I don't want to get the pedicurist in any trouble. She truly was so great other than the severely shortened massage time. But I would just keep in mind that some of the nail artists may not stick to the advertised time at this location. Overall, I loved the atmosphere and experience. However, $55 is a high price to pay when my pedicurist cut my leg massage significantly short. I would definitely visit this location again for future appointments if I could be sure I'd get the advertised massage time. read more

The Nest is, hands down, the best nail salon in town. This new location in the DTC is exceptional. Every detail has been attended to so that you feel pampered from the moment you walk in the door. First, I love that they set aside time just for you. There is no, "sign in and we will call your name" nonsense. When you make an appointment, that time is dedicated to you! (As an aside, you will want to think ahead and make your appointments well in advance because they fill their slots pretty fast.) Second, rest assured that if there's a product in use or on their shelves that it's all natural. I love that it always smells clean and that they don't use any harsh chemicals. It's a priority for me in my life, and I also appreciate that it's a priority for their clients and staff. The Nest has been my nail spa for a few years now, and I'm thrilled with this new location. It's just beautiful, and the services are at the same standard of quality I've come to know and love at their original location. I highly recommend checking out The Nest DTC! read more

This place is AWFUL. Anastasiya was extremely unprofessional and did a terrible job. I never give less than 20% and this time was a no brainer. Just terrible. Sloppy work and poor demeanor. Save your $ read more

The Nest Nail Spa - Shellac manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I have been going to the Nest Nail Spa at the DTC since it opened and I love it! Everyone is so nice and they always make me feel so awesome! I go to Jennifer and she always does a great job read more

I had a scheduled appt and I had to wait 30 min past my appt time for the nail technician to finish a quick fill in that had dropped in for a repair that took longer than expected. It would not bother me to wait 5 or 10 min past a scheduled appt time, but 30 min with nowhere to sit and wait was a bit excessive. Normally I would have walked out after 30 min, but I really wanted to get my shellac manicure redone prior to the holiday weekend and the front desk clerk offered an extra 10% off after a 10 min wait. At 20 min past my appointed time I mentioned it should be 10% for every 10 minutes of waiting time. When I was done she said they would meet in the middle and gave me a 15% discount. On top of that I felt that the nail technician was very rough and I had to pull my hand back at one point. I'm not sure if she was in a hurry to try and catch up for her next appt or clean up to go home since this was towards the end of the day. I was very disappointed with this level of service from a nail salon that is highly recommended. read more

This lovely spa is modern and very clean. I appreciated the plexiglass shields at the manicure stations. All of the staff are very friendly. I was serviced by Penny and Davina (pedicure and manicure) and they were both very professional and kind. I look forward to returning read more

I prefer to do my own manicures (shaping nails, caring for cuticles) but wanted to try CND Shellac. I asked what the cost would be for polishing my nails--nothing else--simply to apply Shellac. I was told a polish change is $40. Really? $40 for me to come in with clean, manicured (but naked) nails and try Shellac?!? I was disappointed--feels like a gouge. read more

Great location, friendly staff, clean and calming environment, and I appreciated the welcome gift!

I love the Nest!! I have only been to the Lakewood location but I am sure they are similar in quality. Not only are they local to Colorado but they do fantastic work. They're quick, all the technicians are personable, and they do an excellent job! I love the atmosphere of the salon and just the overall friendliness of staff. I don't enjoy salons where I feel like I have to stay silent for the sake of the running water sounds in the background, I want to have a good time! They do great work and charge great prices for their services! read more

Felt humiliated when I was rejected for having a discoloration to my toenail. Had a tip applied by a podiatrist a few months ago to enhance a prior toenail that was traumatized and was slowly growing out. This is a common discoloration. Was told I needed to see a health professional ( I am a health professional myself) to get a doctor's note. I went to another salon and was helped without any question. read more

Great Salon with kind friendly staff.. I would recommend Ella, as she was precise and accurate when listening to what details I wanted and did a fantastic job.. I would highly recommend! read more

I was honestly disappointed in my experience especially given the price point ($70). It took 1 hour 45 minutes for a mani/pedi because the technician was slow. There was no hot towels or stones during the pedi which I would have expected for the price. Also, the polish was bubbly on two fingers but given her slowness I chose not to bring it up because I had a place to be. read more
