I always go to Amy to get my gel x. I love this place because it feels so calming and breezy. They have so many options for nails and Amy always does a 10/10 job. Thank you! read more

Amazing prices for amazing work!! Thank you, I got incredible attention to detail from the ladies working. I will be back!

BEWARE OF SNEAKY UPCHARGES I usually have a great experience here and Thalia once again did an excellent job with my gel manicure. However, I am extremely upset about my pedicure experience. I had Liza, who asked at the start which pedicure I wanted. I clearly said I wanted a regular pedicure. When I went to pay, my total was $83!!! $37 for the gel manicure and $46 for the pedicure. The regular pedi that I wanted should've been twenty something. Liza claimed I agreed to an upgraded pedicure, which I absolutely did not. To make matters worse, when I looked at what the upgraded pedicure is supposed to include, several of those services weren't even performed. This feels dishonest and left me very disappointed. read more

I called ahead to make sure they had time for the services I wanted - a gel fill mani & gel pedi (they close at 7) and they said it was fine to come in at 6, I ended up arriving a little earlier at 5:50. They have a menu of options for services and I asked for the most basic because I didn't want to keep them there late & didn't want to spend the $111 for the deluxe option - the lady either didn't understand me or ignored my request because I was charged for the more deluxe service (and an extra $15 for french tips) but only the pedicure lady did the scrub & massage. My mani did not come with anything other than the fill & color and was not done well. I ended up being charged $126, which is so expensive for the poor service. The pictures show the issues with the mani, polish does not cover the tip, when doing the french mani she pushed the nail polish into my cuticles and it stained my fingers and 24 hours & several hand washes later it's not coming off. I'm going to need to pay another salon to fix the manicure and it's frustrating that I was charged for the deluxe services and did not receive them or even a good manicure. The pedicure was ok but I will definitely not be going back and if you do go be careful with what service you are being charged for, the price is not worth the services received. read more

Response to owner: no kidding I asked the tech if I could get up to wash my hand and she said no- she just dipped it in water... as you can see, some blood got trapped under the gel. Hope my finger doesn't get infected! Oh, and the following day I noticed two other fingers were also cut... Staff should know how to stop bleeding if it happens and how to keep wounds clean. read more

I do not recommend this place to anyone anymore. First of all, none of the employees speak English, so there is no way to communicate with them -- nor do they care what the customer really wants. If you ask something or express a concern, they start talking in their own language and laugh. Super rude and unprofessional. I'll add pictures of my Gel-X nails that they just did a few minutes ago. It looks like a week-old job. I told her several times, "Why are you applying the Gel-X so far from my cuticle?" -- and she kept ignoring me. She knew I wasn't happy at all. I used to come to you guys and I left very unhappy . There is no excuse for unprofessional behavior . read more

I chose this place based on Google reviews but I really should have checked the help reviews. This place was unlike anyplace I've been before. I have gotten my gel overlay removed numerous times and this the first time I've had them removed like this . I came as a walk in, asked for gel overlay removal and a manicure. The first layer of the gel overlay was buffed off by the nail drill then the interesting part happens. Mind you, there's no sort of vacuum mechanism to catch the flying debris. I'm wearing black so I'm covered with what's flying off. I was expecting the usual finger tips covered in cotton soaked in acetone then wrapped in foil. Nope. I was given a bowl of steaming hot water that was under a plastic bag filled with acetone. You're not supposed to heat aceton. I should have walked away at this moment but I wanted to trust my nail tech. Repetitive dips and drills later, she decided that she did enough. The water was hot enough to steep some tea so I kept lifting my nails out. This did not make her happy so she shoved my hand deeper into the bowl and added more acetone to " help" with the temperature. My fingers became stiff and dry. She was drilling away as if she was in a rush to leave so sometimes it got hot and I'd wince. She told me she was only taking a little bit off because she didn't want my nails to be thin which I get but not all nails were buffed down equally. Certain nails had more product left over than the other. I have engraved marks from the drill bits in my nails. She then aggressively hand buffed my nails. Barely any care was put into cuticles and everything was just haphazardly trimmed. I didn't even asked for polish because I just wanted to leave. I paid my bill and left. $32 and a $5 tip. It was my first time here and I felt like I was just an easy money grab for the day. How did I know she was in a hurry? She stood up the entire time. She didn't sit while she did my nails. She kept telling other people to " load up the car first I'll be there " ( I am vietnamese. I understood it all). Now I have to look for another nail salon to help me take off the rest of the product on my nails. I do not recommend coming here. And to Lisa, be more gentle with your clients. I made it known plenty of times when something hurt or felt uncomfortable but you kept making excuses. read more

This was honestly the worst (and most overpriced) mani pedi I've ever had. Please avoid at all costs. It wasn't a clean establishment, the manicurist used my dirty pedicure water to soak my hands, and the entire experience was marred by strange comments and minimal effort. 0/10. read more

Place is so cute & service is so friendly! Called for a gel pedicure & they had space. Plenty of parking in the shopping area. Got my pedicure done by Talia, super sweet woman who did a great job. Fair pricing too. Will definitely come back! read more

Terrible, they didn't want to do French on my natural nails, the lady made me get extension. Today my index was broken I went and I waited a lot to get fixed (something that doesn't happen to those who go get the nails done) and the lady put pander instead the gel I had before and now the index looks completely different thick and horrible. By the way she was in a rush because there was more people coming before closing and she was not even waiting for the lap to go the seconds or nothing. They don't care about quality but quantity of people. Of course after spending 80 dlls I didn't want to get "fix" again. Terrible quality. read more

They neglect you as soon as a new customer walks in. I got left with a gel dryer on my lap and my nails unfiled, unmoisturized, fuzzies on my nail polish, my sandals moved way to the side and they kept insisting that I should get acrylics when I already told them once I didn't want them. Never coming back. I still have left over residue gel polish all over my nails because they neglected to file and clean up my nails. read more

I paid for manicure gel chrome and pedicure gel the total was 92 dollars. Aside from the price being more than what I normally would pay, my complaint is how my manicure came out, you cannot tell they have chrome in them. It looks as if I have clear coating. On top of that my ring finger and middle finger, the nail polish looks thick compared to the other nails. My regret was not informing her I wasn't happy with my nails, I didn't want to get charged for them fixing it. Update: Not even a week long and the top coat has come off. read more

First time trying this place. Completely destroyed my nails... they filed them so thin that it keeps breaking and my nails physically hurt because they got so close to my skin. There are lines all over my nails from the bad filing job. Never experienced this before. Mind you my nails were "done" for one day and it started chipping the next day. Super disappointed! read more

Came here because I live close by and was in a rush for a new gel x set. Price was reasonable, I believe Vicky helped me and she was very gentle and nice! Usually nail shops rushes to get the work done so i end up getting cuts or uneven shape, but not here! I only did a simple gel color with gel x so i don't know about more complex designs. i work retail so there's a lot of folding, tapping involved, so far it's been one month and everything's still intact which is AMAZINGG!! read more

I don't usually leave bad reviews but please never go here if you want a good manicure or pedicure. I've been getting my nails done for almost 10 years, and this is absolutely the worst nail salon I've ever been to. Pictures are worth a thousand words and they had a lady named Hue(?) who did the most crooked nail work I've seen. They then tried to fix it by giving me their best manicurist Mia and she proceeded to do a bad job with such a bumpy texture. Even worse, the pedicure was also awful. The lady just cut my toe nails and trimmed it in less than 5 min and started painting them. I've never had such a callous and short pedicure before. Needless to say, the experience was so bad that I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Birthday nails!! I wanted super cute nails and thankfully I found XOXO Nail Bar. They are located in the same plaza as one of the pilates studio I go to, Neauxmix Fit and Walmart off Barranca and Von Karmen. I called earlier that morning and made an appointment 10 minutes after my pilates work out so I had enough time to walk over. I was immediately greeted and welcomed when I arrived. All of the ladies working here were super sweet. I was assigned to Tammy and we really got along. Tammy removed my gel and brought me a lovely selection to choose a new color from. They even had a new DND Mermaid collection that I have not seen at any other nail shops. I likey!! The Mermaid collection has all the glittery shimmery looking shades that I absolutely adore!! Ultimately I decided on the DND Mermaid Collection #241 Light Salmon. The picture I took did not do it justice because you have to be in person to see how its pigmentation reflects with the light. It's so beautiful!! Tammy was really fun to chat to through the course of my service and she did an amazing job on my nails. I've been getting so many compliments. I would definitely want to come back here for additional services in the future. Highly recommend XOXO Nail Bar! read more

My finger is literally spliced up and it hurts. The lady did such a poor job and it was so expensive. It was such a horrible painting job as well!!! The french tips are so big and not even on ANY Fingers. I added my reference picture to show her. This place is pretty rude as well to another customer that I overheard wanted a a certain shade and she kept referring a completely different color and saying "it's the same color it only looks different because your nail darker".... read more

This place is horrible, my feet are so damage I can't even walk .if they would pay attention to the client instead, of speaking and laughing in their own language and trying to do multiple tasks at the same time they might could do a pedicure look at my feet. I can't even walk. Both feet are horrible. The fact that the nail polish was old and sticky, she put nail polish remover in the bottle and shake it and proceeded to use, instead of saying would you please select another nail polish. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE read more

First time and last time getting my nails done. I'm 30 and it was my first time I was excited but I am left with bumpy set of nails. I think some nails 4 out of 10 finger nails came out pretty and the way I wanted but the other ones look too much like an evening party look and the gel is very uneven on some nails the gel dips in and creates a wavy feel and look. Here is my inspo photo and my results. I'm glad I tried it but $85 dollars plus 15 tip that is $100 on nails that I don't think are the best. read more

so i come here a lot to get my nails done and this was honest to God a really shitty experience this time. I called to see how much certain things were because I've never gotten them done before and it was fine when I called but when I got there, some passive aggressive comments were made about how oh yeah you're the one that called to ask how much this was ha ha ha and then after that, the lady that was doing my nails clearly did not like doing my nails. She had a bad attitude she kept getting annoyed that I was pointing out things that she was doing wrong my whole middle finger nails slanted towards the right side, and when I pointed it out to her, it was like the worst thing in the world that I could've done. Then she skipped over the light massage part and then when I pointed it out to her, she was like oh it's just a light massage and I was like you know what, it's fine. You don't have to do it. She charged me full price and skipped out on a whole portion of what I actually paid for. Then when I didn't wanna leave a tip for her, you should've seen her face. I don't understand what you did for me to leave a tip for you because the whole time you were annoyed that you were doing my nails and sighing, and then to top it off, you skipped over the light massage part so never going back to this particular lady again. read more

Had a good experience at XoXo getting a gel mani with a simple heart design. My technician Mia was a few minutes late, but she was very apologetic about it so I didn't mind too much. She worked fast but careful and was very patient when working on the nail art. It turned out pretty well and I thought the price of ~$60 was reasonable ($15 up charge for the design). The nail bar is in a slightly run down Walmart anchored retail center, so the exterior looked kinda dated, but interior was fairly renovated and appeared clean and bright! read more

Terrible quality nails in terms of durability and strength. Very overpriced considering the quality of material and techniques used. My nail broke immediately the next day without having done any strenuous activity. I returned to have it corrected as I spent over $120 on the hand/feet set and it had been 1 day since the nails were completed. They were reluctant to fix it and then agreed to fix the broken nail. The next day 2 other nails broke (quite painful too). All I can say is very cheap quality materials and higher than the average market price for the surrounding area. Poor business strategy. I won't be returning and I'm annoyed. read more

I'm a regular here but I'm done giving these below subpar salons my money. I came here to get a pedicure. One it's $35 for socking your feet in water. Then I had on gel (from my last pedicure) and decided to get regular. They decided to charge me a random $5 for removal of gel. Which is not posted. This was because I did not wanna get gel polish. I asked several times where is it listed and they said "we have new price menus coming. Ignore these ones ". I told them It's fine. They waived the $5 because they knew it was not true. The vibe here is not good and I won't come back. Really disappointing. They use old top coat. Gel chips Please save your move. read more

Not only are they extremely rude, they butchered my nails. I had beautiful long healthy nails and I asked for my nails to be trimmed and shaped round . The woman working on my nails not only cut off all my nails but she gave me jagged edges. When I told her that this wasn't round and they were crooked she got upset. I had to guide her nail by nail.
