Pure Nail Bar — Local services in Denver

Okay so I’ve been to this place twice and I had a good experience both times. I had a powder dip manicure both times, they were friendly, and you get a shoulder massage along with cuticle care and hand massage for only $50 before tip. Please be warned though!!!

They file away with nail files, not nail drills that are safe for your natural nails!! This weakened my nail bed so severely, my natural nails bent like paper under any pressure. My nails have never been weaker in my life. The first time I went I had such a great experience I thought I had found my new place, I even got a punch card!

I went for the second time and after experiencing painful removal of the dip, I saw how weak my nails were and made a comment. I was hesitant to get dip again and asked if they were too weak for dip or gel even and I got brushed off and responses like “dip makes them stronger you’ll be okay” so I let her finish.. after safely removing the dip myself a week later, I have never had more pain in my life. My nail bed is so thin throughout the nail that I can feel any pressure or heat and it burns. My nails not only break but rip in half up the middle of my nail. This has NEVER happened to me before! My nails have always been on the stronger side until now.

I’m not sure if their gel manicure is different or any of their other services, I just want to warn others because this is the worst experience I’ve ever had. I never leave reviews but felt I needed to warn the public! DO...

UPDATE: Feb 21 - All of my nails from the dip popped off. I am so bummed. I thought they did a wonderful job, and I went in yesterday to fix one finger nail and then two other nails popped off like they were stick on nails. For dip powder, this should be pretty sturdy stuff where they have to sand the nail to get off the dip. :(

Feb 14 - I had a great experience here. I got a dip manicure and regular pedicure during my lunch hour. These ladies were very very detailed on the work they did. I don't think I've ever had anyone take their time doing the dip nail before, and I can tell you that I will be coming back. Even though it took a total of an hour and fifteen minutes for both, it was well worth sitting through because I can almost guarantee that the dip will not crack. Most places rush through the dip manicure process and it always cracks on me a week later. I am...

I broke my nail at the office and popped in after work one day and I was pleasantly surprised how bright and welcoming the space was even though we were below street level. I had a gel polish change; they have great OPI color choices in gel polish, overall it took about 40 minutes for gel removal and new polish, she even shaped and buffed my nails (they don't all do that with just a polish change), the price was $25 before tip which is the same I pay out in the suburbs.

Seems to be a clean, well looked after establishment with sanitized packets of tools and I watched them them scrub and sanitize the pedicure basins after another client.

No acrylic services so if you are sensitive to that smell, this is a good option for...
