No idea why this place has such a low star rating! I travel to Anchorage periodically for work and have been coming here on and off for over a year. The staff are always friendly and courteous and they have a good system to get in a chair and check out at the end. I've never had to wait as a walk in. I always get a nice spa pedicure with simple gel nails and they do a fantastic job. The price for a gel pedicure is $75 for the deluxe spa package (it's $50 plus an extra $25 for gel.) So about what I'd pay at home in a big city in the lower 48. Highly recommend! read more

I would put a score lower than one if I could... I got a manicure and pedicure... the pedicure was fine but the manicure was a massacre. For some reason the girl use a sander on my fingernails... two days later my nails started breaking... they were breaking so far down they were bleeding.... 2 weeks later and I'm still dealing with the pain... everything hurts... washing my hair... everything! I called the manager... he offered me a discount on the next time I come in... wow read more

Very cute place, we're able to get an appointment the day of within an hour or so! Super nice people with great customer service who know what they're doing. Very chill atmosphere with quiet music playing. Definitely would go again! My friend and I were vert happy with what we got :) not extremely expensive either!! EDIT: Changed it to 3 stars -- I don't know if it was just the specific person who did my nails or something but unfortunately after just 3 days of working my nails started to chip pretty badly and now I have had to trim my already pretty short nails so they don't keep getting caught while working. I work 12 hour days doing dishes but I am ALWAYS wearing gloves so they shouldn't have too much wear and tear on them. My coworker has acrylics with gel and hers look great! She also does the same things I do at work. I don't know what's up. Last pic is after just 2-3 days. read more

They were very nice people & I was able to get seen asap. I gotten dip nails, but when I was done they looked very bulky at the sides making my nails look round. I went back to request to get them filed down. The guy who fixed them had worn out gloves to the point his nails were showing. He used a drill bit to file my nails, going way too fast & kept cutting my cuticles! I got a total of 3 cuts. Then he proceeded to use a worn out square file before I can say anything about it read more

Went in for a dip color change. Had long healthy natural nails. When he asked if I wanted them shorter I said no. He proceeded to cut my nails off and try to put tips on. I said no tips, I wanted my natural nails. Got dip and was charged $70 for the worst manicure I've ever had. read more

THE WORST !! got my eyelashes done there and she used pre-fanned eyes lashes, glued my real lashes together, didn't isolate ended up brushing my lashes a day after the appointment and they fell out WITH MY REAL LASHES ..... my lashes where glued together , pulled out ,and I wasted 3 hours of my time and 200$ for her to do a half-ass job;at that point she might as well glue strip lashes on my face. She over charged,messed up my real eyelashes and didn't even have the lash going to my outer corner or inner corner I want a re fund . She needs to practice more read more

I had a 2:15 appointment and arrived a little early. By 3:15 I decided to leave since I had been waiting for an hour and they kept saying, "this person will take you in 10-15 minutes" (but that never happened). So disappointed. I can't recommend this place at all. read more

Worst set of acrylics I've ever gotten, and bad experience too. 1- I specified French tip. Instead of using white tips as the base, he used clear and charged me for a French Tip paint job, and it's not even symmetric. 2- He glued the tips to my skin and didn't even try to fix it. 3- Ridiculously thick and uneven acrylic. Not to mention the tips. Refilling the tips to look nice. After my event I'll be resurfacing them as well. 4 - He cut me not once, but twice, with the file while filing my nails. (Which as mentioned in 3, he didn't even do well.) 5- Started filing one of my nails before it was set, and messed it up. Didn't go back to correct it. Now it's even more wonky than the rest of them. So glad I didn't take my daughter with me to get hers done. I will NOT be going back here. This place used to be the shop to go to, unfortunately it doesn't appear to be the case anymore. 0/10 - Do not recommend. read more

I still like this place (but yes I have found a new fave). Things are just starting to get worn mostly just the chairs. I understand that it's expensive to keep them nice and new but it just give you the "old, run down feel." The rest of the atmosphere and decor is still chic and cute. Their technicians are good and are always pleasant to be around. They have a nice sized color selection for both regular polish and shellac. Their pricing is about average. They always have HGTV on so if you need to catch up on Property Brothers you can do that while getting a pedi! read more

Today's Nails - Wear and tear from over the years. It's not too bad but it is becoming more noticeable. - Nail Salons Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I have gone to this location for a few years, but will be switching to another salon that does a better job and doesn't nickel and dime you. For a gel fill they charge $65. On top of the regular fee, which is already more than other places, they charge an extra five dollars to cut your nails and then another extra five dollars to fix one that had broken, though I don't know that there was anything extra they really had to do. I believe they charge an extra $10 if they have to "fix" more than one nail. The nails don't last more than a couple weeks for me and overall place has gotten too expensive and I will go elsewhere. read more

Went there while visiting cause I needed my nails done badly. Got a gel pedicure and dip nails. They required masks when walking in or provided one themselves. After telling them what you want, they make you wash your hands before sitting down. The nail techs were wearing face masks and gloves. They take cleanliness very seriously and I appreciate that. They did both my manicure and pedicure at the same time which was efficient. Would definitely come back if I ever visit again! read more

I came here for a pedicure, I came with a group of 4, we all were able to sit next to each other and all received amazing pedicures. They were detailed in cleanliness, massage, and nail care. I don't know what you would want more in a nail salon. I'm very very happy! read more

very unhappy with this nail salon. First, I went in for dipped nails. I ask for my polish to be soaked off. They acted put out and said it takes to long. Then I ask for them to not use the dremel tool so harsh and close to my mail bed. The girl nicked 3 fingers and made me bleed. To top it off, the last step of dip should be a last base coat and clear coat, no they use a clear coat and put you under the blue light to harden. This turned my color! They said this is the way they do it. This cost me $55. Very unsatisfied. I tried them twice, both times something was wrong. read more

When I first moved to Anchorage, this was the first salon I tried. I was a bit turned off because I was feeling cheap, but I've tried many other nail salons, and I found myself back here with a regular manicurist who I actually look forward to seeing each time. This salon is clean, pretty, and delivers the kind of quality you are proud to wear on your hands. Trust me ladies and gents...you get what you pay for here. read more

So disappointed. I brought my daughter here for her 7th birthday and her lady was so rough and rude. As typical 7 year olds go she had dirt under her toe nails from running and playing. The lady (her name was Lek I believe) wouldn't stop when my daughter complained that she was hurting her. I stepped in and demanded she stop and that she was hurting her. The lady threw a fit saying she couldn't clean her toes and do her job if she wouldn't sit still or allow her to use the tool. I asked if she could use a scrub brush instead, she gave a bunch of attitude. I told her that we are paying either way and to just humor her and make it a good experience for my daughter. My daughter also expressed that she had a small cut on her ankle and it stung when the lady put the soapy water on it and repeated my she forced my daughters foot in the water. She painted her toes and left skipping most of the rest of the experience like massage and stuff. I have never been so disappointed. Has this lady never had a child in before? Or been around children? I will never come back here for that lady alone. The lady that did my toes was very nice so I can't speak for them all but my pedicure was definitely rushed through as if to get us out faster because of the issues with my daughters lady. What a waste. read more

Split nail and peeling skin after trying powder set. My nail split approximately 2 - 3 weeks after getting my nails done by Tommy. They used a drill on my natural nails to prep them which I didn't know using a drill is too harsh to use on your natural nails, then after using the drill they were still buffed and filed, which made them even weaker. My nails took too much of a beating and horrible technique which made for an end result you can see in the photos. The salon has quick and fast service, but bad end product. Now, I think my nail is infected and I don't know who to trust to have this powder taken off. If you are new in town or a regular..... you might want to think twice before going here. read more

It's okay... the guy didn't have me wash my hands after he shaped them and filed them. Also normally the acrylic is more opaque when I get my nails done and this was like glass. It looked weird and I had to add a little polish which I don't normally wear. Going back for a round two maybe it'll be better this time. It's not the best place I've been but it's not the worst. read more

I admit to being tired and not paying much attention during the appointment but when I got home I was incredulous that the gentleman polished only nine toes, not all ten. Who does that? The no chip mani on my right hand also chipped within hours. Nice enough folks but I won't be going back. read more

I am what you would consider a regular at Today's Nails given it's a salon that doesn't require an appointment. There are times one just can't be pin downed with an appointment due to rapidly changing schedules. And I usually don't know I want a pedicure until the day I do it. Having gone here for a few years now I can tell you that while Today's Nails does accept appointments, for those like me that aren't always able to get one they do accept walk ins. I find the best time to do it is usually first thing on the weekends when they open. 10:00 on Saturdays and 11:00 on Sunday's for those not "in the know". And when it comes to pampering services I have pretty much tried them all here. Everything from pedicures to gel nails and even sometimes I will get my brows waxed if it's been awhile. Of course there are certain techs that I prefer over others. But have only been truly unhappy 4-5 times in several years with the outcome of my nails. Once when I had solar installed and it was lifting within 2 weeks of having them done. Another when I assume the polish was old and it was bubbling. When I went back the following day to voice my concerns I was promptly taken care of. Today's Nails operates in 3 locations. The original on Huffman, this location in the mall that houses REI and the newest location off of Dimond Blvd and King Street. The techs can operate between all locations depending on how busy they are on any given day. I have seen large wedding parties come in to get pedicures and they were all accommodated. Of course they might be sitting a little longer at the pedi chairs but they will call up other locations to ask for help. The pedicures come at different levels with the basic starting around $30.00 I believe. Then there is a deluxe and a super deluxe. If Noi is working that day I will always chose one of the deluxe ones because that girl can give a mean massage. She is one of my favorite techs there. And usually I end up with Sandy assisting me with my nail fills. Truly both are top notch. I used to go to a smaller salon but it was always so hard to get in and get an appointment. For true convenience Today's Nails will continue to have my business. read more

Very poor service for a "delux" pedicure. Nothing delux about the pedicure, they didn't do anything but soak my feet, cut my toe nails. I do not recommend. Waste of money read more

Tommy and Joe are amazing nail techs! Tommy just did a fill for me and I was really indecisive with what I wanted. I showed Tommy a few Pinterest pics and he did a mixture of that and his own creation. They turned out pretty fantastic. It's been a week and my nails still amazing. I will be going back. Today's Nails also installed a new system and participate in a rewards program! read more

I'm going to knock them down a star based on my couple of experiences. I am not too much of a pampered person type so when I do get out to do the nail thing I like to do the full bill. I came in and got sat right away with a nice viet gent. I would say that I liked him a lot; he was super affable, chatty, and gave a great massage. Things that stood out: -Didn't put on a clear base coat -Didn't put two coats of the color -Didn't put on a top coat -There were color gaps at the edges around the toe Also, the color chipped right away. I'm not a really outspoken person, but I realized I should be. Especially at the prices I'm paying. I'll try one more time and see. If they don't deliver I'm done. read more

This beautiful salon is the only place that can get my nails the way I like them, which makes it all worth the price of getting your nails done nowadays! Tom has been my nail tech for years. I used to go to him & only him when he & Joe were at another salon, & when Tom's brother opened Today's Nails, I followed them there. If Tom is not available, Joe is my next choice. I've never personally had Joe do my nails, but I have seen his work on my friends & family, & other clients when I'm at the salon. I consider both Tom & Joe nail artists because "nail tech" simply doesn't do them justice. Everyone there does beautiful work & you won't be disappointed. They are fast but don't rush if it will sacrifice quality. Since they accept walk-ins, you may have to wait a few minutes even if you have an appointment BUT it is ALWAYS worth the wait! They have countless colors for gel nails & gel polish/Shellac. It would take years to try them all, even if you tried a new color at every appointment. They are masters at the current trends or making something totally different & new, whether it be your idea or theirs. I will absolutely continue going back to this salon & I recommend them to everyone I know & even everyone I don't! read more

I love how my nails turned out but the reason I'm doing two stars is because their nail light that is supposed to dry your nails burned my skin off! They had me under the light for awhile and i noticed my hands getting hot and asked if i was done, they told me a few more minutes. I figured it was just "hott" from the bulb and not actually frying my skin. For 2 days i couldn't move my hands or type without it hurting and now 3 weeks later my skin is peeling off. I've attached photos. I like the people and the place but you guys need to know you have the wrong bulbs or something. read more

Yesterday 9/20 my fiancé took me to get a pedicure I had a technician who I've never had before, she wasn't very talkative. I don't think she used a clean file and I don't know if her tools in her pink pencil case were clean or not. Anyway she's getting ready to paint my toes and she takes her gloves off (mind you they have to wear gloves) and she's painting my left big toe and the way she was gripping my toe her nail was digging in the side of my toe. It is now the day after my toe hurts so bad and it's swollen a bit. I don't know if I'll go back here sadly read more

I went there today with a friend and she got a Manny Petty and I got a full acrylic set, the lady that was doing my nails she was super nice but she wasn't really talking to me she was talking to her other coworkers in their language, so I did a red with gold flakes set, there is red all over my skin underneath my nails there's a black stain on the bottom of my nail From the brush my friend the one I was doing the Manny Petty got burnt because of the wax it was too hot, she was telling me it was hurting so I had told the person I was doing her Manny Petty that he was hurting her he was like "oh I'm sorry" and he didn't even do anything to change it he kept on doing it he didn't turn down the water it was really hot, my full acrylics so it was $100 and it wasn't even exactly what I wanted and the nail tech was like in a big rush to finish it like she wasn't taking her time they were really busy but I still did give her a $10 tip but I mean I would never go back. read more

VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE! We asked them SPECIFICALLY if they could accommodate both me and my friend for a manicure at the same time, and they specifically said yes. After getting to the place, they finished my manicure however, they only removed my friend's nail polish and left her. They did NOT DO HER NAILS, even after they were done with mine. After being confronted the girl at the reception gave a mere unapologetic sorry. We walked out pissed and now we are going to another place. Could this be one of those "isms", how subtle they are, you can never tell. #prejudice? VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE read more
