Zen Nails is a great spot if you are looking for a quick nail fix. It was easy to sign up online for a spot in the near future. The prices are cheap and the quality was okay. My nails chipped after a week (normally they last 2.5-3 weeks without chipping.) while the atmosphere was very "zen" they were playing old 80s rock music. I didn't mind it just didn't go with the vibe. read more

They serve drinks and most of the staff there are friendly I just hate it when there's one man so far that I've dealt with he's not mean or anything, but he just doesn't do quality work and he probably knows how to do quality work but he's always rushing, so I just need to find the right one that's in therebut I do recommend because the females that have done my nails have been really good read more

I'd give this place zero stars if I could. Walked in at 10AM to just simply have my dip polish removed. I sat with the acetone wrapped on my fingers for 45 minutes - no one would help. I ended up having to remove them myself and when they said to just wait for them, I told them I didn't have anymore time to wait as I had been there already for an hour. She told me I could remove the cotton leftover on my hands and the melted gel still stuck to my fingers myself with cuticle oil - it absolutely did not work. She told me I could wash my hands and then I'd be good to leave. So this is how my hands look now. Absolutely the worst nail salon I've been to. read more

Disappointing experience! I booked a mani/pedi through Zen Nail Lounge's online booking system; I received four or five text messages from the salon: confirmation, reminders, check-in, etc. with very explicit instructions about the appointment. Fine, but once in the salon, though they seemed busy, they took at least three walk-in appointments while I was there. Furthermore, my technician doing my pedicure rushed through the pedicure, skipped doing the callous removal, which I paid extra for so she could get to her 'regular' client who apparently came in on the wrong day for her appointment. The woman doing my manicure was okay, though inexperienced. This salon seems more concerned about volume of customers, than providing high quality services. read more

Even with an appointment. We had to wait quite a while to get our pedicures. It didn't give me a very clean vibe either, will not be returning. read more

I booked and appointment on line and didn't have to wait at all. The nail tech did an amazing job! The polish lasted several weeks without chipping or cracking (I'm a nurse so my hands and nails take a beating) and she did an excellent job at keeping the polish thin. read more

Tried a new nail salon last week. This place had great reviews and right down the road from us. Lots of great things about this place but one major con... Pros: easy online booking, text reminders, easy parking, great color selection, polite. Based on all this I would have given it 5 stars. BUT One big con: I got a gel mani and within two days, it started chipping. Within a week, the polish was flaking off in chunks. I don't know enough about the gel polish to know what causes this, but I have never ever had this happen. For this alone I would give a one star. For $37 + tip I would expect it to last more than two days. Unfortunately I don't see myself going back. P.S. I know I should have gone back and they probably would have fixed it but I have a newborn at home so it was a big deal to get away in the first place (thanks husband!) *** thank you for the response to my review! I really appreciate it and will try and take you up on the offer when I can. 5 stars for customer service as well.*** read more

I have been going to Zen Nail for about a year now pretty religiously. Ricky and his staff are always very attentive and do a great job. I enjoy being able to make appointments online, although it doesn't always end up being the employee I request. Tons of selections for DIP and Gel Colors. And the staff is always down to help do different designs and color combos. I've done pedicures, gel manicures, dip powder, and acrylics and also had good experiences. The salon is rather small so they fill up quickly and sometimes schedules alter a little. I wish more people were understanding of this because I've been in the salon a time or two when people get a little testy. Just take it as a reminder to be patience y'all. I'll be going back again & again. read more

I love me a nail salon that takes appointments! I'm not a fan of waiting. What makes Zen special is the free drinks - non-alcohol and alcohol. Decent nail color selection. Quick service. My nails haven't chipped once within the first two weeks of application... often into the third week. I've received services from Helen and Ricky. Parking is ample behind the building. Just make sure you book an appointment and don't just walk in! You are likely to not get in for hours or that day at all otherwise. read more

Great customer service, very clean environment, smelled great, and I loved my gel pedicure. I was able to do a walk in so that was nice!

Zen mail lounge always brings my vision to life. I started going here because my friends recommended it and they never miss. Ready for valentine's day with these bad boys. Super easy to make an appointment on their website. They offer wine too read more

Zen nail lounge always does a great job! I have been going to them for many years. I always get dip with tip and they always turn out great!

Went in for a pedicure. It was a great experience. I was served a cold beer while they did my pedicure. I had picked a clear w red glitter nail polish, I really wanted red w red glitter. They girl doing my pedicure asked about the color and after chatting she realized I picked the wrong color. She went and grabbed the correct one. She was very good. I wish I would have gotten her name cause I definitely want to go back to her! read more

My hands and toe look perfect ! Will be back for my next set regularly. Everyone was very friendly and quick.

Made an appointment because my nails were awful and my nail tech was full. I walked in and it seemed like they weren't very organized. Didn't show me what gel polish was vs regular. Picked my color and stood there for a while until someone noticed and guided me where to go next. Never asked for my name to verify my appointment. They did a decent job on my nails but didn't get what I asked for and def not a place I'd go back to. read more

I've visited twice now and both times have been the perfect manicure experience- lots of dip colors to choose from as well as gel and regular polish. Staff are friendly, professional, and very helpful. My first manicure lasted over 3 weeks and still looked good, you can't go wrong here. read more

Will absolutely be back. Went in for dip set with tips added and it ended up being -55$ very reasonable I think! My friend recommended it to me as the best nail place in the broad ripple area. My whole appointment lasted only 45 minutes and he did an amazing job. The bathroom is very clean (not a storeroom like some establishments). And the nails turned out so cute, even and well shaped. I will comment with an update of how long they last. Only hiccup was they had complimentary drinks but did not offer me one. Everyone around me got one but I guess they forgot me. Oh well. read more

I wanted to get a pedicure and decided to give this spot a try. I was blown away by the friendly employees and very clean practices. My husband and I made an appointment online and arrived 10 mins before. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. I also received a text message to check in 15 mins prior. I picked out my color and then we were seated in the chairs. Our technicians were amazing! They were very nice and checked in to make sure the temps weren't too hot, etc. The experience was very relaxing from start to finish. We will definitely come back to Zen. read more

I had an appointment and still had to wait 20+ min. They sped through my nails and I believe they took advantage of me because I'm younger and look around college age. I went to another nail salon and they all laughed at me because of how bad my nails looked. Only giving 2 stars because although my experience was not the best, the store itself is clean, staff is nice enough, and they offer complimentary drinks like wine or coke. Don't have a picture because I probably didn't take any cuz I was so embarrassed read more

I love a good mani pedi! Lots of local mommas were raving about this place on the Midtown Parents Facebook Group so I decided to give them a try. Good choice! My fave things: - Amazing selection of colors and options. I'm a plain 'old mani pedi gal but they've got gel and all of the other latest & greatest options. -Massage chairs that work well. It can be a bummer to sit down for a pedi in a broken massage chair, but these appear to be new and in working order! -Free parking in the back. -A complimentary glass of wine, soda, water or beer. -Book in-line or over the phone. And I suggest this because they do book up! The thing that kept me from giving 5 stars is because the owner did my pedi and took 6 calls during my service. It slowed down my service and also took away from the full experience of a good scrub, massage, etc. At least that massage chair was working the whole time! I'll be back to try again! read more

I typically don't like to leave negative-ish reviews. But I honestly would go somewhere else for a dip manicure. The staff was super nice and accommodating, but this falls on the lower end of the quality spectrum for me. My cuticles bled from the sanding, and the first normal top coat was not shiny at all, so I requested a gel top coat (which I typically get). But the paint was still a bit rough and bumpy. It felt very rushed, and I was really looking forward to liking this place! Perhaps it's a one off. Again, nothing against the staff but I really cannot recommend a dip manicure here based on my experience. read more

I gave zen a try after reading the good yelp reviews. I agree that is lives up to what others are saying! I made an appointment online 24 hours before (which was needed since they were almost packed at 9:30 am!). Online booking was very easy, quick, and user friendly. Free parking in the back was plentiful, a huge perk not to deal with the meters or garages in Broadripple. When I came in, staff was not overly friendly but was not rude. I felt the gel polish selection was more than enough, I had no difficulty finding a color! They took me only 5 mins late for the appointment, which I thought was great since at other salons it's like appointments don't really matter. I felt that my manicurist took her time and regularly checked in to make sure I liked the nail length, shape, and color, which I appreciated! About half way through a neighboring manicurist they offered me a drink after he offered the girl next to me one. I declined since it was so early, but would absolutely appreciate it later in the day! It did feel a little weird that my manicurist didn't offer but I didn't think too much of it. Total for a gel was $30, a little bit more than some places in the area but a good, clean overall experience. It's only been 1 day since having the manicure but so far everything is looking good, clean, and polished. Hopefully it lasts like the others have said! Quick highlights (if you don't want to sift through the review!) -online appointment booking -good gel color selection -taken for appointment nearly on time -free lot parking in back -very clean interior without a heavy nail polish smell -didn't feel rushed read more

So my first time there...pedicure was fine, however when it came to my gel manicure it was not good...first he filed my nails at an angel, I had to ask for the file and file my nails my self...then when he did the gel...no nail dehydrator and primer...which is a first for me, because every nail salon I have been to that uses nail dehydrator and primer my gel nails last literally 4 weeks...then the polish...which was applied extremely thick...my thumb didn't dry enough and had to do that all over again...then got home and my thumb and index finger began to lift...not happy at all...now I have to go out of my way to got back up there tomorrow to get this fixed...$80 well spent ‍ ***REVISED**** So after my review, Ricky personal reached out to me, which was great customer service..I went back to get my nails fixed, Ricky did a phenomenal job and I am extremely pleased with me nails now...THANK YOU SO MUCH RICKY AND ANDREA... read more

Have been a couple times with mixed results. Today was the worst and I will try somewhere else next time. I made a 10a with Ricky. Arrived @9:55a, no Ricky. I checked in w Andrea waited til 10:15a when finally someone else (no idea her name) took me. Maybe the worse mani pedi ever. So sad bc Ricky showed up @10:30a and NO me ever apologized or even acknowledged that my appt was basically ignored. Why make an appt if they don't honor it? read more

I was referred to this salon by a friend of mine as we had both been having issues getting into our regular salon. I set an appointment a few days in advance to see Ricky for dipping powder and a gel toenail polish change. I got to the salon at 2:10 for my 2:15 appointment and signed in. There was 1 person waiting with an appointment (2:00) and another walk in that came in right after me. I was greeted, asked what I needed and told to have a seat. No one showed me the nail colors for the dip or gel. Someone came over to the 3 of us waiting about 3 minutes later and informed the girl with the other appointment that Ricky was running late (reminder that I set my appointment with Ricky) and had me come sit at a table with someone else. I stated then that I had gel polish on my toes and needed a polish change on my toes. The nail tech in front of me then asked what I was needing (this was my third time explaining what I had already set an appointment for so I'm starting to get frustrated by this point). I explained what I was wanting to the nail tech and she proceeded to tell me that it couldn't be done. I visit my regular salon every 3 weeks and get a fill of clear dipping powder and a gel top coat for the color. She asks the girl next to her and that nail tech proceeds to ask me "are you sure it's not acrylic?" To which I answer that I've been getting the dip for 3 years and am sure it's not acrylic. They then get Ricky on the phone and he says to wait for him and he'll look at it. Once he got there, he looked at my nails and said he could do what I was asking for. 20 minutes after my appointment time, my nails were finally getting worked on. Once I was in Ricky's chair, all went well. He's very good at what he does and took extra care. I loved the shape of my nails and the overall appearance but I definitely wasn't impressed with the service of the rest of the salon. However, I'm always willing to give a place 2 chances as everyone can have an off day. They do have wine/beer service which is a plus and gave out a small Christmas gift when you left. Still undecided if I'll stick with my regular salon or make the switch. Time will tell. read more

1st visit - I tried this place over the summer as it looked very nice and had wonderful reviews. I booked online with the owner but when i arrived, I was given Kristol. Initially she was very nice. The experience was less than pleasant as I swear my fingers were being torn apart. The tools hit my skin multiple times and not only did I flinch but I jumped every time. My dip never lasted long. I vowed not to come back after that. Fast forward to this fall when I decided to give them a try again after having numerous issues with gel polish. I initially had a fill and tried gel again here. Within 12 hours my nails were peeling again. I contacted Ricky/Andrea and they asked me to come back in and agreed to fix the situation by doing new acrylic. After Ricky removed my old acrylic, two different girls sitting next to me had convinced me to maybe try dip again this time. Ricky offered to do this for me after me changing my mind a few times. We cut my nails down and went to a square shape. My nails look fantastic. They have held up wonderfully and it's been 10 days. Ricky truly provided great customer service in this scenario and by providing me with an entirely different service to fix the situation. That was enough to come back. I look forward to continuing on my dip nail journey with Ricky. read more

I decided to try out Zen Nail lounge based on their previous reviews, their later hours and the proximity to my house. It was so easy for me to make a reservation right here on the Yelp! App. I received a quick reply and I was excited for my first visit. I get my nails done often, and I've tried many different salons in the Indy area. I was really disappointed in my experience. Firstly, it's important to note the parking situation. There was a concert happening next door at the Vogue and parking was impossible. I had to settle parking in the garage across the street and paying. I arrived right on time, but I think they had me wait for my friend to arrive. The shop was small but clean. They had a wide variety of colors to choose from. Once seated, my nail tech was polite and asked me how I liked the shape of my nails. When she started working on them was when the trouble happened. I've never experience a more painful manicure. She applied way too much pressure on my nails when scraping my cuticles. I even told her twice that it was hurting me, can she lighten up. She kind of just looked at me and apologized, but continued. Her buffing sponge also must have been brand new. It was way too rough and scratchy on the ends and scraped my fingers with every swipe. Again, I told her it hurt. The final step, once my nails were done, was a hot towel. And man is it HOT. I had to ask her 3 times to take it off of me because it was too hot. When she removed it the final time my hands were bright red. The towel was steaming so much even my friend commented. My nails look fine. The color is beautiful and the length is great. I did however, leave the store bleeding. I don't understand what happened. It hurt way too much for me to give any higher review. I'd be willing to give this shop another chance, as my friend didn't experience as much pain as I did. Just beware if you're sensitive. read more

Drinks are included (including wine and beer!), which is always an added bonus. The salon is always very clean and managed well. If I can't find the color I am looking for someone is always happy to help.

Zen Nails Lounge - OPI Bubble Bath gel manicure - day 5 - still looks good! - Nail Salons Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

If you want to feel pampered this is the place for you! A gel manicure is $30 and worth every dollar. Not only is Zen incredibly clean, but they've clearly gone out of their way to think of every detail. The result is a luxurious experience. They have 6 chairs for manicures, 8 pedicure massage chairs, and they use liners in the bowls. Also, all of the products they use go into disposable cups - way more sanitary than other places I've been (eek!). At the end of my girlfriend's manicure they lathered her hands in lotion from a *lotion warmer* and then wrapped her hands/arms in hot towels. Niiiice! The owner states that they have 3,000 nail colors - soooo many options. We got there right at 11 on a Sunday (when they open) and had no wait, but the place filled up quickly. You can schedule an appt as well. They also serve wine but we didn't pay much attention to that. Will be back! read more

Cute nail salon in broad ripple! Just moved to the area and had trouble finding a good nail salon, until I came across Zen! Small shop but nicely decorated and well kept. They have TONS of polishes to choose from it's overwhelming in a good way. Just a gel mani and pedi and the tech took her time and did my nails perfectly. I learned that each nail tech does the pedicures in different orders. Someone explained that to me (maybe ricky?) and it made a lot more sense why my sugar scrub was applied after my gel polish! They offer drinks like wine, beer, water and sprite. It was pretty chilly inside so you might want to prepare for that. Otherwise I enjoyed my first time here. check them out forsure! read more
