I got a gel manicure here recently, and while the salon itself is nice, the application was poorly done. The color was uneven and patchy, and it seemed like the polish hadn't been cured or dried properly (it started looking messy almost immediately and even started to chip, see photos). When I went back the next day to get it fixed, the salon did redo the nails at no extra charge, which I really appreciated. However, the nail tech made me feel uncomfortable by blaming me for the issue rather than just correcting it professionally. I left feeling awkward instead of taken care of. I'm grateful they fixed the manicure, but the overall service and attitude left me hesitant to return. read more

I got my nails done by Kelly and they came out amazing! I went with an orange shade for the Halloween season and they look so real and flawless. Kelly is super talented, friendly, and makes the whole experience enjoyable. Definitely recommend supporting her and her great work! read more

I love this place. They are friendly and always able to get me in. There wasn't a long wait and they are efficient.

Such nice people. They do a very good job and are very considerate.The shop was redone since the fire and is beautiful.

They are great and do a wonderful job . I just started having my hard gel manicure there and they did a great job and cheaper than most of the other salons around. Also contrary to hours posted they are closed on Mondays read more

I went in today to fix my one nail that broke and flew off because my old nail salon was horrible and I walk in such amazing vibes. My queen Donna fixed my nail in no time and it's an amazing place. Everybody come here or count your days. read more

When I first walked in I showed them a picture of what I wanted and they confirmed they could give me the design I wanted. When she was finally ready to start on the design I quickly realized she could NOT do this simple heart. She had to call another employee to try and the photo posted is the work of the second employee. They then tried to gaslight me and make me feel like it was my fault. First they tried to blame it on the color I chose. I told them the color shouldn't have anything to do with the shape of the heart.. then another employee made comments like "well you can't be mad it's not an easy design" and "this is close enough" I ended up having them remove the "design" and just got a basic color. There was no way I was paying an extra $30 for this. I wouldn't even be so upset if they didn't tell me themselves that they could definitely do this design for me. It's not fair. read more

I'm very particular about my nails and expect my fill to be done with clean, sharp shaping and smooth from cuticle to tip. Donna had no problem making this happen for me and I could tell from the moment she began that she knew what she was doing. I even came back the next day to have a minor detail fixed and they took care of me without issue. Kelly is also really kind and helpful. My pedicure is absolutely gorgeous, but I wish a massage was included in the service. Don't forget to bring cash as it is their preferred payment, but they do accept card & digital payment, too. read more

At first, I didn't mind the wait time because I said I would come at 4pm, but we started at 4:15pm. The nails came out nicely. I didn't appreciate how when I went up and paid.... Kelly told me charges that were not listed nor communicated with me about the different price point. It was like as if she was charging for things that were clearly not stated on their price range. I don't appreciate places that surprise me with prices that just come into their head. Best believe I don't recommend that for folks of color because it was like as if she was adding prices that were simply not stated closer to their cashier. read more

It's not even worth making an appointment here. They do not honor their appointment times. There were 3 of us who showed up at 3 pm while all the nail techs were working on someone else. It's too bad. I like the way they do my nails. Don't like the way they schedule their customers. read more

My sister and mom were in need of a manicure and i took then here, they felt really welcome. They took her in without an appointment and in words of them it was amazing, the workers were really nice and understood everything they wanted. Perfect manicure and attention to details, they want to come back! read more

Friendly and reasonably-priced neighborhood salon for when you need a simple mani or pedi. Kelly, Tam, and the rest of the women there are very skilled and friendly.

Nice place for nails and waxing. They get services done rather quickly and the staff is lovely

$80 tip Gel-X manicure + $10 tip didn't last more than a day. Four nails popped off the first day I had them, so I went back to get them fixed. They said it can't be fixed and gave me $80 back. They refused to give me a regular gel manicure set and told me to go somewhere else. read more

Discriminatory! I brought my mom to this place just as they changed owners and we both had manicures and pedicures and had great service. So we thought today my brother and I would bring my mom back to have a manicure. Mind you, my mom had a stroke that left her paralyzed on one side so when she gets a manicure we have to open her left hand because it is paralyzed shut. But we've never had a problem with any nail places having us do that. We never leave her alone, we stay and help the manicurist with my mom's frozen hand. An hour and a half ago my brother and I brought my mom back here for a manicure. When we walked in, we asked for an appointment and two of the ladies started speaking in their language and then turned to us to say "no we have a big appointment coming". When we inquired how long of a wait, they spoke to each other for almost a minute and then they answered "oh too long you can't wait". Most people would take this at face value and leave. Unfortunately for them, my mom, my brother and I speak their language... I won't disclose the language as we don't want people to stereotype all nail places as doing this. But Violet's does do this: when we asked if they had an appointment they turned to each other and asked if anyone wanted to do the crippled ladies hand and all of them answered no and to tell us they are busy. WHAT?! The lady that was sitting in the far back told the girl up front at the desk to tell us that their appointment would be too long and we shouldn't wait. Then they giggled about my mom's hand and how no one wants to do the manicure! Now, had they been honest and just said they didn't want to do her paralyzed hand, we would have accepted that and said to do just the one that is not frozen or we would have thanked them and gone to another place but the fact that they lied to us and then made fun of my mom made us angry. To give them the benefit of the doubt, I went back an hour later to see if they we're full and of course, there was only ONE client they were working on, while the rest were sitting around eating. Really? Super rude, super discriminatory, and very offensive. They think people don't understand what they're saying, luckily we happen to understand the language! I highly suggest not to give Violet nail salon any of your business. They do say things behind your back and do make fun of you so take your business somewhere else where they are happy to serve you regardless of your condition! read more

The absolute worst manicure ever!!! Anna was in such a hurry she cut me multiple times!!! The polish looks terrible too...doesn't even look like they are freshly painted. read more

I love this place because the ladies are very sweet and welcoming, they take their time, do a beautiful job, don't pressure you to buy other services (like extra massage or wax), they take credit card payments without asking you first if you could pay in cash and they don't charge a fee to use your card. Also there is plenty of parking. Two manicured thumbs up! read more

Totally loved this place and the way they took care of my hands and nails. 100% worth the money. Also they welcome walk-ins which my husband and I appreciated. We were taken care of as soon as we stepped in the door. They even gave my husband a manicure while he waited for me. read more

Not only is it super convenient that this place is just walking distance from my house, but the quality also never disappoints! The ladies who work here pay attention to detail and take their time, even when it's close to closing time (I've been the last customer a couple of times and they've never rushed just because it's the end of the day). They are also all very sweet. I always get gel manicures and they last up to 3 weeks without any chipping at all. I love coming here and recommend it to all my friends in the area. :) read more

If you get acrylic nails DO NOT COME HERE!!!! I am in tears over how terrible my nails are. Too much polish, nails are too thick and bumpy. I can go on but I'm just in disgust. read more

This was my first time coming here so I made an appointment and was able to come in same day. They have easy parking so that was a plus. When I walked in there were only 2 other guests and a few employees; some helping guests some waiting for walk ins. I sat down and was flipping through their gel color selection but noticed that they didn't have many colors to choose from. If your like me, then a wide variety of colors is always a plus when deciding on one. I picked out the best option I could find and the nail tech started working on my acrylic fill. She was nice and made sure to confirm my desired length and shape, but during the whole process she seemed to be rushing. When I usually get this done, they apply one smooth layer of fill. This nail tech kept putting on more and more. Some of my nails were so thick with the fill that she had to sand them down extra to try and even them. With that said, some of my nails aren't shaped all the same and there's fill that spilled under my nail that she didn't clean off and is still there now. Overall I wished that she would've took her time and maybe it would've been a different experience but don't think I'll be returning. And not to mention, I usually pay $35 for a fill before tip, but she charged me $60. I did have two new tips put on but even still that is way overpriced for the service I received. Hope this helps you out if you've read this far! read more

This place absolutely rocks! Each person I've encountered here is so caring about the work they do on you.

I won't even give half a star. Very unprofessional and cheap quality My gel nails are 10 different colors because they use very cheap material.

Very happy with the gel French manicure ($35) I received at Violet Nail Designs! Kelly was meticulous and they came out exactly like the picture I showed her. I scheduled online through Yelp which was very easy. It was very convenient to be able to go on a Sunday and I liked that the atmosphere was more calming rather than loud and hectic. I felt very at ease and when I asked for her to shorten my nails more she was very accommodating and welcomed me to just let her know whatever I wanted. read more

Great nail bar I had gel manicure pedicure and some waxing the staff were very friendly helpful and did a great job

How are they so good at nail art!? I came in wanting emerald green nails with ring finger art and they killed it. I'm pretty clumsy and chipped my nails a few days later, but I've never had a mani survive more than 72 hours, so it was to be expected. I didn't get gel, but would totally try it out again to see if it stays on longer. Everybody was super nice and I always appreciate a salon that lets you pay and tip with a card! read more

I'm so glad I found this Nail Salon! Extremely kind, clean and has great parking. Making an appointment was a breeze and I felt safe! The gel manicure has lasted so long! I'm shocked, it has been two weeks and not one chipped nail. I wash dishes, work with my hands and at work I'm typing and working with loan documents all day as well as a computer keyboard. It was a pleasure to meet Kelly who did my nails, she was professional, but also friendly and extremely understanding and sweet. I'm making an appointment for next weekend and I would recommend anyone who is need to contact this salon for the best service, and expertise nail designs. Sanitized and has all the precautions one wants from their nail salon. Five-Star rating nail salon! I'm a loyal now! read more
