Daisy Nails

This place has absolutely no respect for your time. I came here with a group of 4 for a bachelorette party to get our nails done. We made an appointment for 1:30 and arrived early at 1:15. When we arrived we were told it would be 20 minute wait– no big deal! Throughout the course of waiting for OVER AN HOUR we were told «10 minute wait» about 4 times. Even after asking many times we kept just being told «sorry, we’re busy,» but again– we had an appointment. Honestly, don’t waste your time here. Needless to say, we walked out after waiting an hour and 15 minutes and they did nothing to even try to stop us or make it better throughout. They made it seem like our fault, not theirs. If I could, I’d give 0 stars.

I just got a horrible manicure from this salon. I have polish on cuticles of 9 nails and have air bubbles on three nails. So annoyed that I paid $ 30 and will take it off tomorrow.

they were very friendly but $ 25 for a manicure? I think not. I wouldn’t come here again, but they did a fairly good job on my nails. it’s just that the prices were unreasonable and my nails didn’t last as long as I wanted them to.

I think that this is my favorite place to get my nails done in Uptown. Somehow this is the tiniest parking lot in the area with so many businesses using these few spots, but I have always been really lucky to not have this be much of a problem (Fingers crossed that it stays this way).
The place is clean, the people are nice and they have a million regular polish and a million and one gel polish colors and I’ve never had a bad experience here.
–1 star because they charge you $ 1 for using a credit/​debit card for anything under $ 40 and $ 2 for anything over $ 40. This is one of my biggest business pet peeves.
No need to make an appointment. You usually won’t have to wait long if you’re a walk-​in.

I have used this Daisy Nails for pedicures for years and have been satisfied. Last week I went in to have gel nail polish removed and to have a basic manicure. In a word it was AWFUL. The man (who is in charge) removed the gel polish with a pliers looking tool and WITHOUT soaking them first like every other place does. Needless to say, my nails are now stripped and look AWFUL. Then for the new manicure, the nails were cut and filed unevenly even after pointing our the flaws. It was so bad that when I got home I had to correct them myself. The polish job was so messy that again, I could have done better myself. Overall, I paid $ 10 to have a man use a pliers to pull off my gel polish and another $ 20 to have a really really bad polish job that I eventually removed one day later because it looked so terrible.
Despite my years of coming here as a customer, this was the last straw and I will NOT be back to them, even if it means driving 5 miles out of my way to go somewhere else. Very unfortunate!!! Very disappointed.

Man I wanted to like this place. At least 3 friends of mine go here and the prices are about as near to what I was used to in NY/​NJ, but alas, the end result was soooo not.
Now I don’t care much what the inside of my nail salons look like. I really don’t. What I care about is being able to relax during a pedicure (massage chairs help immensely with this and Daisy has them. This is good) I care how my nails look when it’s done. (They looked like I did them myself. Not so good.) But what I didn’t KNOW I cared about is NOT having my cuticle gouged out with cuticle scissors. Yeah, that’s on the top of my list now. THE VERY TOP. Ooooooowwwwwwww. There is literally still a HOLE in the cuticle of my big left toe 4 weeks later. 4 WEEKS.
Even if the polish job had been the very best of my entire life, it wouldn’t have been worth the mutilation of my poor toe. Oh and by the way… there is no WAY the 2 sec salt scrub they give you in the upgraded «Daisy pedicure» is worth 5 dollars. Pahlease.

NO HOT TOWELS!
I don’t look for much when getting a mani and pedi, I normally go with the cheapest I can find. That’s where this place is great 10 dollar mani, 20 dollar pedi, unfortunately they don’t offer them at a discount when you get them together.
Given that fact I decided to upgrade my pedi to a Daisy pedi when meant I got sea salt scrub. It was nice but not worth the extra 5 bucks.
Now the two things I most look forward to when getting pampered are the massage part of the mani-​pedi and getting draped with a nice hot towel. and there was NO HOT TOWELS!!! I was so disappointed. I felt rob of the warmth and luxury of the hot towel.
All and All it’s a clean place, semi-​friendly, and they did a nice job, but I will not go back simply due to the fact of their lack of NICE HOT TOWELS.

Their prices are great. They have the skill but the products are not good.
Building/​Appearance: The facility is nicer on the inside than it appears from the street. The inside could have been warmer as it was 12 degrees (F)outside and I was a little cold while getting my manicure.
Parking: On street parking is not the most convenient.
Service: I visited on a Thursday around noon. My service started right after I selected my polish. The pedicure water temperature was warm. I liked that the deluxe pedicure included a salt scrub and a clay mask for the feet. I felt that ample time was spent on my pedicure. They even use a Dremel for fast filing.
Products: I did not like that the nail polish options were limited (compared to other places I’ve been) and the polish in many of the containers was 80% empty. They had polish from Jade, O.P.I, China Glaze, Finger Paints and few others that I didn’t recognize. China Glaze and Finger Paints are polishes that can be purchased from Sally’s Beauty Supply Store. In my experience these 2 polish brands are okay when it comes chipping on natural nails. I expected more from the products. I got a gel set on my natural nails and the container clearly read «non-​sticky» the polish was sticky afterwards for at least 30 minutes. The gel cracked the same day and began to chip.
Overall: The service is great but if I go back again I will bring my own nail polish and topcoat, which sort of defeats the purpose of going to a professional.

I have been here many times and consistently receive great service. Prices are very reasonable. And atmosphere is great — a lot different than how you might judge the place when looking at it from the outside (appears to be ‘hole in wall’ but is really quite nice). Everyone who works here aims to please, and I’ve never had a nail technician disappoint. I recommend Bebe (sp?).
Usually get a standard pedi but got deluxe pedi today and I’m never going back. Salt scrub Devine, lotion & rub, and best of all hot towel treatment. All for only $ 35! Totally worth the extra $. Standard pedi is only $ 20.

This is my fav. place on lake st. People are nice, shop is clean and they do a good job. EXCEPT for one man. He was the only available so i went to him for a fill. I wanted a french and had black before. He didnt take off all the black nail polish so you could see it under the clear acrylic. And it was just sloppy looking. Then the design he did was hideous. Bow is the man to go to. Or a younger lady. They’re really talkative and do a good job.
