My experience was very bad! if you go, please have the name of a technician and don't leave your nails to chance, like I did.First of all, this place is neat and clean and very large. They have several nail stations and nice looking pedicures chairs. unlucky for me I must’ve received a technician in training. I was watched other clients manicures, and they seem to be fine but I do not know, so I am giving a review for the technician that I had . for regular clients, please five the name of your technician because the salon is really only as good as its worst technician. First of all I wanted to have my acrylic nails soaked off. I didn’t mind if it took two hours or three hours, I wanted them soaked off. I said that on the phone when I made the appointment and I said it again when I talked to the technician, she said, “soak it off” so she heard me. She said soaking dries out the cuticles and then proceeded to take one of the fake nail tips and pry the nails off of my fingers, taking a layer of my natural nail…for all fingers. It was very painful and I jumped at least half the time when she just kept on going, I thought she was going to pry off the loose nails and soak the others. By the time I realized she had no intention of listening to me, it was too late. I had a tight schedule. she did pull out some acetone for me to soak my fingers in for one minute and then pried the rest off ,with the fake nail tip. I should’ve left at that point, but I didn’t because I needed to get my nails done and I wanted hard gel this is one of the fewest salons with hard gel. When I made my appointment, I requested structured gel nail extensions, where a good technician uses builder gel so that you don’t have to put on tips, she said they offered that service but if they do, she did not know how. She proceeded to superglue tips on my nails. I’ve had tips before so at that point I stayed hoping it would get better, it got worse. After applying the hard gel, she had me me put one finger at a time under the UV light to cure. She said for “five seconds” after two seconds, my fingernails were burning, so I pulled them out, but one by one she put the gel on and said put that finger under the lamp. I was so upset I paid and left after she put the color on….and now I am left with 10 finger nails that are uneven and lumpy also she filed down my natural nails even though I asked her not to, I can’t say anything about the other technicians, but the one I had, and I do not know her name messed my fingers up, so I will not be returning, unless I know the name of a person who is a good technician.

Been coming here for over a year really like the way Brian did my nails, The past three fillsI have gotten Brian is never there I’m never able to make an appointment with him so I have been seeing james. The service today was horrible my nails were half Cnd on the side where my nail tips are still showing he’s very rough and rushed through, He seemed agitated because my nails are a little longer however I am charged extra. Some nails are bigger than others and the Cuticle line is very poorly placed on my skin the side of my real nails are still showing very unhappy I spent 100+ dollars every two weeks in there The nails never last more than 10 days before they are falling off but because they are done to my well liking in the beginning when I had the person doing my nails I will be relocating somewhere else.Service: Sculpted nails

Thank you John :) they look great this was my inspiration photo I brought in for what I’d like to try before my wedding on my natural nails hoping they grow before! But will be adding tips if they don’t grow long enough to better match my reference photo.

Never been happier with my nails. Haven’t gotten a design in a long time as I’m usually never happy. I’m so glad I came in and gave them a chance. 10/10 I’d recommend any time

First time here. Best leg massage with pedicure ever! Extra neck massage with manicure was excellent! You don't get service like that anymore if ever. I haven't had it in 17 years since I went to cosmetology school. I highly recommend!

Wow - Did I choose well!!! Traveling on business to the area. After very long days and not great sleep in the hotel, decided to treat myself. What I wanted was a pedi. What I gratefully received from was THE most amazing pedi spa experience ending with shoulder, neck & head massage. Thank you for taking such great care of me!

My first time visiting Model Nail Spa. I called ahead of time and got an appointment same day. When I arrived they had me check into an iPad with my phone number [it gets you points for money off later]. I sat down as directed by the person who greeted me and a young man [Jasper] came up. He asked what I wanted and began to perform the services. I asked for a dip powder set, but as he was finished applying my tips as trimming them he could see I was apprehensive on length and assured me he could trim them as many times as i needed him to he dient care. He finishrd trimming the nails and he recommended I do CND liquid gel set. I had never heard of this before and was hesitant. He prepped the nail and began the work. Small talk as per usual was had.I've not had a normal nail tech since before covid, Jasper was friendly, attentive and well worth the visit time and money.I DEFINITELY will be returning ☺️ 10/10 recommend
