Dixie Nails

Opening just last September (2011), this is a fairly new salon in the area. And compared to the other salons around it seems to distinguish itself more so in terms of amenities and quality. All of the facilities and equipment are nice. The color selection is vast. And the service is great. I haven’t seen any extreme crowds in here yet. It is quiet and serene. The clientele seems to be quiet & serene as well. No loud characters. No bad children. I had an extremely relaxing experience from my massage chair to my manicure. I would definitely come here again and suggest this place to anyone looking for a good nail salon.
But it doesn’t get 5 stars, at least not from me, because the lady working on me – though extremely personable and nice – lacked the talent and skill of the manicurists that I’ve grown accustomed to back home. While cutting my cuticles off, she made at least 3 of my fingers bleed. And I had whole side areas of my toes and nails left unpainted. My eyebrows had no real shape but she did keep them thick like I asked. Now understand, these are little things. To the untrained eye, no one will know the difference. My boyfriend and family kept talking about how nice my nails and toes were all weekend.
I’m not from Louisville but I’ve visited often because my whole family lives there. And in terms of comparison, this shop is better than the others in the area. A lot of the problems I had were related to my actual person and not the shop because my moms nails, toes, and eyebrows came out perfect!
