They DONOT really do Gel nails here! Just acrylic full sets. Gel nails are NOT applied using powder and liquid. They also use acrylic tips to extend them here. There is no gel used in their entire«gel nail«application process. I love Fancy Nails, I just won’t make the mistake of paying $ 35 for Acrylic nails next time I go in when I asked for Gel nails.

I will not patronize this establishment any longer. The owners are rude and impersonal. There is an energy of nuisance about them, which makes you feel like you’re bothering them; especially if the are forced to work on a client. The place is not the cleanest and I had been going for years out of loyalty and convenience, when I decided that no longer mattered and that I should be the one happy with my service.

I have been coming to fancy nails for years. This is my favorite nail shop EVER. Everyone here is like family. I refer all of my family and friends here… they all love it too. They do get busy at peak times so a simple phone call will help you avoid waiting :) Very stylish and clean shop as well… quality place, quality work, quality people!!! :)

Kelly is hands down the best! She takes great care of my nails and her pedicures are heavenly. Fancy Nails was newly renovated so it’s chic and inviting. They also have the best selection of nail polishes, reg. and no chip *They always have my favorite OPI colors! If Kelly isn’t available, ask for her mom(can’t remember her name). Making an appointment is highly recommended and don’t go to her if you’re in a rush. She’s extremely thorough! Tip her well! She’s absolutely worth it!

The people who work here are so rude! They didn’t even greet me when I walked in nor did they speak to me the whole time I was getting my nails done! Aside from that they did a horrible job ! I will never go back here again!

I used to like Fancy, but they will not get my business anymore. I went in on a Friday afternoon. They put me in a pedicure chair and had me put my feet in the water. 45 minutes later I was still sitting there. Finally the owner came over to do my pedicure, it was by far the worst pedicure ever. She rushed throught it and I was out of there in 20 minutes. A girl sitting across from me that had her pedicure started before me, was still sitting in the chair being taken care of and I was done. The nailpolish was chipping off less than a week later.

This is my favorite nail salon in the area. I have tried all of them and Fancy Nails keeps getting my business. They are very reasonably priced and recently renovated with new stations, pedi chairs, etc and they are great! Their No Chip has a lot of good OPI color selections and is only $ 25 if you get a solid color — French is more expensive. They are very kind and ALWAYS ask«How are you, What can we do for you today» when you walk in which is rare for a nail salon. I just love this place and recommend it to everyone. They can get crowded but it is worth the wait!

I have been going to this place for many years, but no more. Went today and got a pedicure with my friend. The owner did the pedicure. I kept telling her it hurt but she kept going. Now my heels are raw and I can’t wear anything on my feet because it hurts so much. My toes were bleeding and she kept wiping it off so I couldn’t see it, but I did. It was a just a totally painful experience. I’m a diabetic and do not need any foot problems. I guess I should learn to speak Vietnamese to get my point across. Very sad, because I really liked going there. I have brought many people in there, plus purchased gift certificates, so they lost a good customer. Hopefully I can find another place near here that will actually CARE about the customer, not just the money.

Great selection and variety of no-chip colors. They can get really busy and crowded — so either come right as they open or wait until later in the day. They are generally very nice and run a clean salon. If you hate the color on your nails, they’ll gladly change it until youre happy.

If I could give this place a zero I would. No, it will not be just a minute wait, as they say. You will be sat in a pedicure chair for an HOUR in lukewarm water and be ignored. Then once you’re helped, if you make any specifications such as «DONOOOOOT use the nail file”(because the last time I was there, they used the nail file and I couldn’t wear socks for a week and had to take ibuprofen the whole time because they filed me down till I bled. My toes have been sensitive since!), you will be ignored. Then when you repeat yourself, you will get a giggle and they will keep doing it. I literally had to grab the nail file from this woman’s hand. Then the female owner will come over and stare you down and then talk in their language then laugh at you. Long story short, I will NEVER go there again. It was nice and convenient in high school but now that I know my nail salons, I will not come back here again and will never say a good thing to anyone about it. Oh, and they won’t let you throw a tip on your credit card because they would actually have to claim it on their taxes like every other tip-earning American out there…

I typically don’t have high expectations when I get a pedicure. All I can hope for is a comfy massage chair and some who doesn’t slap my calves calling that a massage. Fancy Nails was quick and reasonably priced. While the woman didn’t say much, she did a great job. I was in and out in a decent amount of time without ever feeling rushed.

Where do I start?! Ok, so I walk in and I’m immediately asked how can I be helped. That’s good thing number 1: I hate a nail /hair salon that doesn’t acknowledge your presence right away. If I’m a paying customer you need to hurry up and help me. 2: I didn’t have to wait long before being worked on. I didn’t wait more than five minutes before the guy was gonna do my nails came up and started talking and asked me what I’d like done and what color I chose(I picked two and couldn’t decide and he picked the best color for me which turned out great!) 3: They are clean! I was so happy to see a not-so-expensive nail salon that didn’t smell like an acrylic factory and wasn’t unsanitary! 4: They were not expensive! I got the no chip manicure for $ 25! Yes, ladies. I said $ 25!($ 35 for french) I really liked that they had lots of colors to chose from and I was very satisfied with my manicurist. He was friendly and gentle and my nails turned out beautiful!

After going to almost every nail place in the area, I always come back here. They do a great job. Tips must be in cash, but you can pay for the service on a credit card.

I left the previous review, but had to come back with an update. I recently got a no chip manicure done with them and it hasn’t even lasted a week. Now I have to go somewhere else and get my nails redone. I’m very dissatisfied. Their treatment of me was terrible(guy walked away while doing my nails to work on someone else’s feet without any word to me on what was going on). Between the terrible treatment and horrible nail job, I will never be back. I am very dissapointed.
