POLISHED NAIL SPA REVIEWS

I’ve gotten 6 acrylic sets from this salon and one overlay. The sets each lasted a month with no lifting which is amazing. I’ve never experienced that before (keep in mind this may also be due to the shorter length). It speaks volumes for the quality of the sets! I appreciate how they make recommendations for my natural nail upkeep and accommodate my requests for the style of french tip I prefer. I don’t think many nail shops can give you a nail tech finish so I’m happy I’ve found that here. I love how they can shape the nails the sharp square style that I want. I think the price is super reasonable as well. When asking for a soak off ensure your hands soak long enough to ensure comfortably when removing the acrylic. I would recommend coming here when you have a free schedule as the wait time for walk ins can vary 0-1hr and there may be an extended wait time even if you have an appointment. Overall would recommend they do great work.

Lee does the BEST manicures and pedicures! I HIGHLY recommend Lee. I have gotten manicures and pedicures in many expensive spas over the years, and Lee made my nails look the BEST. Plus Lee is funny, kind and wants me to have the best experience possible. (I got a manicure from Lee last week - before a date - and my finger nails looked so good that I came back for a pedicure today.) So now my feet look great too. Plus Lee sanded my heels, so they are now soft. Why go to anyone else, when you can have Lee make your nails look the best. At the end, Lee massaged my feet, while the back of the chair massaged my back. All while Lee made my feet feel & look GREAT.

Love going here. Been going here since college and they haven’t disappointed. Tran is great at free handing designs. She did a halloween set (posted in a review with a diff account) and valentines set for me. Make an appointment before hand. Sometimes they overbook and you end up waiting a bit before you get started so be ready. Lovely ladies and detail oriented so I don’t mind.

VERSAILLES NAIL SPA REVIEWS

Absolutely love Versailles. Everytime I go in and kindly ask for a design or even different colors for my gel dip, I'm always taken such good care of. It's always a pleasure to be in the ambiance of Versailles. Thank you for always surpassing my expectations and lovely customer service. Love you Sarah ! :) ( all of them are wonderful, I just remember Sarah because she was one of the my first encounters at Versailles). Thank you ladies see you in a couple weeks for new nails.

Omg! I simply loved this nail salon. The price is super fair, and you can find a lot of hardworking women who will make sure to deliver the best experience. I came here with a little bit of hesitation, but they surprised me with the quality of their work. My nails turned out even better than my inspiration photo and It was super easy to book.

AMAZING! I am the most picky person when it comes to my nails, but I will definitely be going back to Versailles. They were so nice and even remembered my name. Took extra effort to give me what I asked for. Even brought out a special machine to give me the ombré effect I wanted. Also, a very clean place. Love it.

MARLOWE REVIEWS

Got a basic pedicure from Elle to see how I liked the place. She was very sweet and did a very clean pedicure, plus a nice calf/foot massage. It seemed like all the techs I saw were very responsive to their guests’ requests. I like that the equipment they use makes it easier to truly sterilize everything between guests (basins vs. sinks, etc). I will be coming back for a gel mani soon.

Booking online was easy! The hosts are very friendly and so are the nail technicians. The salon is clean and the chairs are comfortable. I’ve only gotten pedicures before but I got my first manicure done by Elle. She did a wonderful job, as she took her time and made sure my nails were perfect.

Best bday present ever! Got an amazing foot massage and my toes are so happy.
