I’ll keep this one short and sweet. After a terrible experience at Venice across the street I went to Glamour for a BioGel removal and fix-up manicure. The lady did a wonderful job of making sure my manicure set and my nails still look great a week later. She seemed very knowledgeable and did a great job. I only gave 3 stars because I’ll have to go back and see if the gel nail application is as good as it looked!

Horrible! I got Shellac and a cuticle clean up wasn’t included. I’ve never been to a Nail Salon(Low or High end) that did not include cuticle cleanup. The Shellac wasn’t applied neatly. Chipped and peeled off in a weeks time. Super disappointed. Will not go back!

Went in today with my sister. She wanted Acrylic nails and I wanted Bio Gel nails. Gentleman started on my sister and I was waiting, 15 minutes in I could no longer wait so I asked the younger girl if she knew how to do acrylics instead because only one of the women could so Bio Gel. She got started, I asked her if I got acrylics today, could I refill with Bio Gel the next time to which she said I could get regular gel today. I know regular gel is BS and really acrylic so I said the only gel I get is Bio Gel, so she proceeded with acrylics. She then asked how long I wanted my nails and I told her to cut half of the extension, to which she exclaimed half?! She ended up cutting the majority off and they were disappointingly short. My sister and I were then serviced back and forth with the man who was painful, sloppy and rushed. The final straw was when he charged my sister 49 $ while I washed my hands and tried the same with me to which I said he was wrong for, and that he can ask the young girl that I got acrylic not the fake stuff they call gel. And as a person who gets her nails done frequently I know the difference in nail typed and that was definitely acrylic. He tried to say we both got gel nails and I wasn’t tolerating the sneakiness and he said OK and fixed my bill and when I requested the same for my sister he acted irritated and brushed me off, speaking over me saying«ya ya ya please OK, I do for you».

I was traveling trough from out of town and needed a nail salon which would take me as a walk in. The technician was extremely skilled and did a superb job. I was quite impressed with her abilities. I’d definitely go again.

A bit disappointed. My shellac nails started chipping early on and on a closer look I realized the whole thing could have used another coat(or two). They also didn’t file my nails well I RECOMMEND: A regular pedi but nothing shellac. EXTRATIP– So far, I am most pleased with Colore Nails on the shellac front. See my other review and pics.

I have had a shellac manicure done here a few times. Not bad. They’ve recently purchased new colors so they have a bigger selection now. The staff is professional and the place is always clean.

The worst and yet most expensive«manicure» I have ever received. Manicure is in quotes because she basically just applied UV gel and charged me over $ 50. No moisturizer. No cuticle work. An incredibly sloppy job of application. She and the other employees tried to dissuade me from my choice several times. I chose a light peachy pink which the manicurist called beige. I don’t think you should be working in this field if you are colour-blind. At the end of the application when I was expecting some moisturizer she just pointed to a sink and told me to go wash my hands. «It’s over.» After leaving and having a closer look, I noticed that she missed several places and over-applied on others. I cannot stress enough what a terrible job she did.
