Nice Nails

I have been coming to this location for 8 years… After calling to schedule an appointment on a Monday morning, my opinion of this place completely changed!
Kim is the owner… And I’ve had her doing my eyebrows for years and even when she hadn’t done such a great job I have still come back to her! Not anymore…
My friend and I both showed up to our 10am appointment and was given attitude by Kim… After telling her that I called to schedule the appointment… She said no you didnt and argued with me saying «all you say is you be here in 30 min» well obviously I called gave you my info and said ill be there in 30 min for a mani pedi… If you had an hour wait you’d think you should’ve told me that before me showing up!!!
Kim had never given me attitude before… As a bartender and in the tipping industry I’ve always taken care of her and tipped her well over 50% of services! But not anymore! I will not be given attitude in front of other patrons! How embarrassing and unprofessional…
Big thumbs down for Kim
And her horrible customer service!!!
Trust me you don’t want to come here!

This place is ok for your typical little nail salon. First time I went was a great experience… The guy Tony does a great job. This time I came for a pedicure and she was using the cuticle nippers and cut me and then ripped my skin back. Asked her once to stop, she did, then five minutes later she tried to do more damage in the same spot, I had to tell her… I said no more it is torn skin and hurts!!! I think I’ll be going back to my usual nail spot! Hope I don’t get an infection!!! Ughhhh!

Since my last review they’ve remodeled and cleaned the place up quite a bit so I’ve bumped them up to 3 stars. Still the work seems rushed. They used to ALWAYS ask if I wanted a flower or designs painted on my toes (which I loved) and now they never ask and just finish up with top coat and send me on my way. I haven’t been able to find another place I like better so I stick with Nice Nails, plus it’s so close to home. Don’t get me wrong they do a good job but it used to be a way more detailed experience. I just get the basic pedicure now because it’s a waste to spend more money, they seem to spend the same amount of time and effort no matter what level you purchase. I got my last pedi well over a month ago and it’s still not chipped so that’s good deal but needless to say I’m way overdue for another. They are friendly but speak very limited English so I zone out into a magazine or my cell. I don’t really like making small talk anyway. I’ll continue to go here for convenience.

I always have great experience with them, I always get the owner Kim though so I’m not sure about anyone else but she’s awesome, I transitioned from Acrylic to NoChip and she helped me tremendously. Love it, after I moved to the city, I kept driving an hour to them every two weeks to get my nails done. Great place, happy, professional and jus perfect.

I only gave this place a one star because I couldn’t give them a 0 … They actually deserve a negative 5 starts. I went in with a broken pink and white gel. I asked her to match it to the rest of the nails. She told me she didn’t have the exact shade of pink which I was ok with. Then she proceeded to put on the white which had no curve of the natural shape of the nail. It was caked on and triple of the white that the rest of my nails were. I complained. Then she made me soak my nail for 10 minutes to try to fix it and it was still coming out looking like a disaster. She wasted 30 minutes of my time just to tell me she can’t match them I was left with a bumpy half white half pink unfiled nail. She had the balls to tell me she wouldn’t charge me. Charge ME??? I should have charged her for wasting my time and having to walk out with the ugliest most unprofessional job I have EVER seen. A 3 year old would have done a better job. I now see why they are rated at 2 stars. Decent place for a pedicure but this was the biggest hack job ever… Do not recommend this place and will NEVER go back.

This was a terrible place. The women talked each other very loudly in Vietnamese and did not pay a lot of attention to what they were doing. There was a child in the salon who played his computer game. I felt I was not treated well. When I only gave them a very little tip, they decided not to massage my hands. My manicure started to chip after three days. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

I tried this place with a friend of mine because it was Black Friday and our regular place was closed. We both got no chip manicures. I have to say that 3 weeks later we were both pleasantly surprised that we both had our manicures and both were perfect. I’ve never experienced this before. Usually a no chip lasts about a week for me because I’m pretty rough on my hands so I was pleasantly surprised!
All that being said, I do have some concerns about the place. It didn’t seem to be very clean. Like I’m sure OSHA would have a field day in here. I’ve been to my fair share of nail salons and this one was definitely on the «needs a deep clean» side of things. The nail tech also used tools on me that I wasn’t entirely positive had been cleaned between uses. Now, I’m not sure if they were or not but I think it should be pretty clear that you’re getting clean tools every time you get a manicure.
I think this place has the opportunity to be an extremely awesome place if they just clean it up a bit and follow sanitizing procedures more closely. It would definitely make me feel more comfortable if I were to go back.

My boyfriend and I went in to this family operated salon for the first time Wednesday of last week at 1230p for a mani/​pedi for him and a pedi/​no-​chip manicure for me. I had made an appointment here the day before because it was the only one out of 5 other salons in the area I had called that could do my boyfriend and I at the same time. The staff was friendly and thorough (which he really needed) however, my ‘no-​chip’ manicure starting chipping in 2 days.
I’ve received no-​chips before in my area and never had this issue…
I do think she rushed my manicure a little. They became outnumbered by customers when they had 3 walk ins, 2 appointments and only 3 techs (two of which were occupied by my boyfriend and I)
I would go back but not for a no-​chip manicure. I really liked this place and don’t want to badmouth their livelihood but I think they could benefit from hiring an additional nail tech or two during peak hours.

Went for a pedicure and a new salon person scrubbed the side of my foot so
hard it hurt and started to bleed. She didn’t know what to do-​so I said I need
a band aid and they didn’t have any. I’ll never go back there-​they don’t understand
English and therefore played dumb when I went back there to tell them what
happened. They give me a gift card for my $ 35 pedicure which really wasn’t
the issue as I will never use it. So beware when they approach you with
a razor blade or a scrub sponge!!!
This is the worst part, I am under a doctor’s care since this happened and had to
take 2 rounds of antibiotic because the sore from the scrubbing is so close to
my bone on the side of my foot. So now I have to keep going back to the
doctor until this sore heals and worry that the infection doesn’t go to my bone.
So be very cautious when they approach you with a scrubber and make sure
they are aware of what they are doing. I learned the hard way!

I am ticked off I went there for a pedicure last Sunday and 2 days later developed a scurvey mite!!! A big that gets under your skin and lays eggs. Very painful and itches like hell. I went to he dr and the only thing other than walking through grass barefoot is to make contact with a other persons foot that had it. I haven’t walked barefoot anywhere so we can only think it came from their pedicure bowl as the bugs started at my ankles!!! People be aware I am in pain and allot of itching and a $ 70 ointment and a dr visit. That pedi cost me $ 200!!! And allot of pain!!! Never again!!!

I have been going to Nice Nails since they opened & have always been very satisfied, I dont know what the other reviewer was talking about as far as being badgered about upgrades! Yes they do ask if I want other services, but thats where it ends. I have never felt pressured in any way! I did try another salon in the area once because I couldn’t get in & my nails looked terrible, but I was extremely disappointed & was very upset with myself for going somewhere else. They are very gentle, the girls are all very sweet, I would recommend them to anyone.

I had my first visit at this place last Sunday when I decided mid-​day I was over due for a pedicure. I stopped going to the nail place a block away from my house after I got paronychia on my finger after getting a manicure there. And the other place near me I have been going is closed on Sundays. So I set out to find a new place to go.
I didn’t have my phone on me to check for other nail places in my area so I just started driving down Lake Street, figuring I would run into a nail salon sooner or later. That’s when I noticed Nice Nails. I got there at 3:50 and then noticed on their door that they close at 4:00 on Sunday. I almost felt bad walking in to ask for a service 10 minutes to close. But they were so super accomodating and had no problem taking me.
They have different «levels» of pedicures, from the very basic to a more expensive one that includes several add ons and extra massage time on your feet. At first I decided to just get the basic pedicure but 5 minutes later changed my mind and got an upgrade, which included a longer foot massage, hot salt scrub and a couple other things I can’t remember.
The girl was pretty quiet and polite. She did a good job. She did ask me the most random thing though. She asked me how she could go about getting an I-​Pass for her car. Kind of random. I’m used to them asking me things like «working today?», «live by here?», etc. So I told her that I didn’t know, my husband takes care of all that. And that was pretty much the extent of my conversation with her. The back and forth chit chatting between the workers in their own language that you normally find at these type of salons was pretty much nil the time I was there.
Anywho, back to the service in question. The pedicure was good, but my big toe is chipped a week later. Which usually doesn’t happen other places but it could just coincidental.
As for the environment, cleanliness, etc, I found this place to be pretty much average for salons of its ilk. They didn’t use a liner for the pedicure tub, but I’ve never seen a place use those, even though they probably should. I didn’t see an autoclave in sight, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there. The girl did wear gloves, which she kept having to adjust on her hands because they appeared to keep slipping off on her.
Overall, a good experience! I plan on going back there for my next pedicure!

I’ve been spending a lot of time in Addison lately, and make it a point to stop by NN for some maintenance when I’m around.
For years now, I’ve been getting my brows done by various estheticians and have never felt wholly satisfied. I wasn’t blessed with plump, Brook Shields-​esque eyebrows like my sister… instead, I’m left to grapple with the anemic arches that the fates have dealt. Everyone has one thing about themselves they’d like to change (ok, maybe not Adriana Lima) and mine sit squarely above my eyes. Silly brows.
Since I’ve started seeing the girls at Nice Nails, they’ve groomed, shaped and plucked my brows into creatures that behave. A well-​shaped set of brows open up your eyes and ultimately, gives a fresher, younger appearance. Getting good brow = increased interest from the opposite sex. BELIEVE.
My manicures have been fast + flawless, too. Next time I’ll try their last extensions — only $ 30 and they last up to two weeks! I think it’s time to begin practicing my bat and flutter routine.
