Gorgeous Nails — Local services in Ballenger Creek

I went in this past Friday for a dip manicure. I got someone that seemed new and that all of the employees were watching closely. I get people need to learn but this made me feel uneasy throughout the entire manicure esp when you notice it happening. Halfway through I had another employee tell me that since I got an actual manicure (cuticle cut and all) that my total was going to be $55 for a manicure and dip.. not sure why its called a dip manicure if you are going to pay more. And $55 is the most I have ever paid for a manicure esp because I didn't get tips! Very overpriced. Most places are $30-$40 that I've gone to. The lady then dipped half of my nail in powder and I said something and she goes "I'll coat the rest second round!" with very great attitude. Again, feeling very uneasy again. She then proceeded to do the rest of my nails with a lot of frustration. Anyways, 5 days later and my manicure is already chipping and coming off. You can see the difference in the polish where the coats were put and it doesn't look professional at all. I paid a lot of money for this to already be coming off like that.

I am not one to write reviews often but this experience was just awful!! I have always gone here for pedicures and eyebrows when I moved to the area but I will most likely never ever get my nails done again. And will never recommend if someone asks me where to go.

Very very unhappy, especially...

Old: We called same day and got fitted in for two pedicures. We had Lee and Vu they both were amazing. They were ready for us and offered drinks to us! Great pedicure and took good care in detail! We decided during pedicure to do eyebrows and they were more than flexible! Our toes look great as well as eyebrows!

New: Okay I have been going here for awhile now and didn’t go to my normal tech. This lady tried to peel my acrylic nails off when I sat down and I told her they were arcrylic she got frustrated and started looking for her tools. I made an appointment for my seat and still was put in at 4th chair after people that got there after me were seated.

Now I sat through my fill patiently and figured she must have an idea of what she is doing and ignored all of the extra stuff. When she was done I left kind of satisfied. When I looked down in the car I saw how bad it was. My nails look really really bad. You can see old layers of my nails from the previous fill with fade and grit, I have had 2 nails crack in half just days later, both down to my actual nail where the flesh is now exposed. These are the worst nails I have ever gotten and I am so frustrated and disappointed. I don’t think she does arcrylic and I wish they didn’t have me sit a her station. I have to have my full set removed and start over, On half since my nails are...

I originally wrote this review four years ago, and everything is still just as great—if not better! Since writing my original review, Gorgeous Nails has hired several new nail technicians who are highly professional and extremely skilled. The salon was renovated again within the last year or two, keeping it looking fresh and modern. They continue to prioritize cleanliness, using the latest sterilization techniques. You can actually see them open sanitized tool packages in front of each client, ensuring that only clean tools are used. Over the years, I’ve referred so many people to this salon and will continue to do so as long as I’m in the area. If you’re reading this review, know that I only give five stars when they’re truly deserved. I highly recommend Gorgeous Nails to anyone who hasn’t been here yet—they’ve more than earned their five stars! Plus, their prices are competitive with other salons in the area, and you even get a discount if you...
