Snappy Nails

Several years ago this was the place to get your nails/​toes done. The last few times we have been in there have been horrible!
The pleasant atmosphere is gone. It has been taken over by two techs with huge egos. They get you in and out fast, but they are rude and their work is not great! They leave you with thick nails and an unwelcoming feeling!
We won’t be returning there! Such a disappointment!

Whenever me and my sister go get our nails done we can’t figure out a good place that we both like. We came across snappy nail because it’s close to both of our homes, and we keep going back. The customer service is great and we never have to wait more then 10 minutes before they start. They make my nails the shape and length that I desire! All in all a good experience each time, the only thing is the need to update the color selection for shellac.

Worst manicure ever! The nail polish was painted on nails too thick and two of the nails had streaks and what looked like bubbles. The nail tech didn’t even take a thin brush to clean up lines where there was nail polish on skin.
My boyfriend said it looked like my ten year old niece painted them. I would not go here again!!!

I have been coming here for years because it is convinient for me. But each time it seems lke these ladies are getting more rude, like if they are doing you a favor!!! Some of them do good work, but not worth due to their luck of customer service and proffesonalism!
Bad!!Bad! Attitude & Bad Service!!!
They told me to sign in and then no one wanted to give me service. They disn’t have the decency to let me know! They just kept talking in their language.

Got a pedi for me and mani/​pedis for my girls. The regular plain pedicure is $ 20 which consists of soaking your feet in very hot water for a few minutes then a bit of filing your nails, cleaning them up, lotion on feet and legs and then a polish of your choice.
If you want the deluxe for $ 12 more then you get a hot wax, hot towel and they will clean up your heels too I think.
They try to upsell the minute you walk in and speak in a foreign language the whole time to each other, my girls got manicures but they did them on the chair while they were doing the pedicure which was a bit odd.
My pedicure was over real quick and the polish jobs were just ok. They made me put my sandals back on quickly right after the polish job and they didn’t use any toe separators so, I had to walk weird for awhile so as not to ruin the polish job.
Overall it was just a weird place… I’ve had way better pedicures for the same price.

I had a pedicure emergency and this place was open on Sundays, and so I was kinda left with no choice but to go here. I just wanted a french pedicure and it seemed like it was going fine. I had to correct her paint job a few times, and point out the spots she was missing but otherwise it was ok… not outrageously great but didnt seem like the worst I’ve ever had. I got home and the very next day I see a huge bump on my toe (I have no idea if this is a clump of polish or what it is exactly) and I can truly see several mistakes, polish that is crooked, my lines are crooked from my french tips and my feet are still scratchy– I guess that «deluxe» pedicure means they take more time to scrape the dead skin off the bottom of your feet. Pretty disappointed, didn’t spend that much on this service but I won’t be returning.

I love this place. I have a shellac on my fingers every tow weeks and have never had a problem. When I’ve been to other places, the polish begins to peel after a week or so. Never here. I get a regular pedi about once a month and looks great and it lasts well also. The staff is lovely and friendly.

Seemed clean, the staff was nice and prices were low. I would go back for another $ 12 mani

I have been going to Snappy’s for years because it’s close to where I live. My girlfriend and I almost always leave regretting giving these women our business. They talk shit about while we sit there. They slice and cut our fingers and toes regularly and the owner is a complete witch to be around. Today was the final stray, not just for me but for my friend as well.
They had the nerve to ask my friend before she had finished with her nails, if my friend would be tipping in cash. When my friend, who had her toes slices open said «no. you won’t be getting a tip.» they finished her up after a single coat.
It is absolutely ridiculous that this place gets any business at all. I love to support women owned businesses but not when it comes to catty, unreliable, unprofessional service.
YUCK.

I came here because it is located near where I live. I was in a hurry so I needed somewhere that is: fast, convenient and close. I decided to go with a Mani Pedi and the end result was not satisfying whatsoever.
For my mani, I requested that, my already long nails be painted and filed round resembling «claws» and I didn’t get that! I got old lady round instead!!! I chose a summer peach. The polish was painted on poorly, there were lines on three of my nails.
As for my Pedi, the girl who did it made a mess with polish and even made me bleed. The polish wasn’t as poorly done as my finger nail polish but the experience wasn’t comfortable.
I definitely will not be going back.

In my quest to find a new place to have a shellac manicure near work, I went here on my boyfriend’s mother’s recommendation. She had great experiences with her acrylic nails here.
On to my visit. I asked for a Shellac manicure and was presented with a selection of nail tips painted in various colors. I pointed at a color and asked if it was Shellac or Gelish. «Yes,» was the reply. I asked, «which,» and she said, «Shellac». Great. This is what I wanted, as Gelish doesn’t last long on my nails.
A «nail technician» started my «manicure» by soaking my fingers in warm soapy water for about 15 seconds before poorly pushing back the cuticles. She then spent a fair amount of time doing a poor job of trimming them. When she started filing, I asked her not to file the sides of my nails but she started to do it anyway. At this point, it became clear that she couldn’t understand what I was saying and when she started filing my already filed nails crookedly, I politely asked her to stop (I had to take the file out of her hand and put it down). After this, she had me wash my hands. They do not do a hand scrub or anything of that nature. When I returned, she had Gelish polish bottles all set out. I remarked that it was NOT shellac and she just replied «yes.» Sigh. Maybe this time it will be better.
When she started painting my nails, her hands were shaking the entire time. Seriously. The quality of the polish clearly reflects this. Some nails have obvious gaps between the cuticle and color, other cuticles are colored themselves. I wish I could throw in a star for the free massage that was provided, but pounding my back for 5 minutes with her fist was not horribly pleasant either. She rubbed some lotion and oil on my hands, wiped it off and that was it.
Oh, and while they had a manicure price of $ 12 posted, apparently Shellac — Err Gelish — is $ 18 more expensive.
Cliff’s notes: although polite, this place has (based on my experience) untrained, unqualified employees that will pretend to understand you. Shitty job, shitty value, shitty pricing, and overall one of the worst places I’ve been. If you don’t care about your natural nails because you cover them with acrylic, maybe it would be fine for you.

I’m bummed about Snappy because I have been there many times and had a good experience, but the past two times my shellac Polish has peeled within two days and that never happened before. I’ve had shellac last two weeks before peeling so this is disappointing. You can almost always get in right away without an appointment however, I will probably only return if I’m in a bind.

When you are in a wedding, toes and fingers MUST be done!
I was in the area running errands and I decided I had to just get it done. At least my toes anyway!
My feet have not felt this good in ages! I will admit, I have neglected them this year unlike i the past. I felt sorry for the girl working on them, but man she just went to town.
I wish the massage were longer, tired legs from shopping and all, I could have used it, but I didn’t want to spend an additional $ 15 for the premium pedi. The nail girl was slow, but she got it done very nicely.
They have 8 chairs for pedicures, it was nice socializing with other ladies getting foot pampering too!
To top it off she put a very pretty flower on my big toes to match the colors of the wedding.
Very pleased and I would get a pedi there again… soon!

I was so glad to see that a nail salon opened in this area and with such good prices! because I’m tired of spending a lot on mani/pedi’s in Cherry Creek. It seems like Denver only has two calibers of nail salons: Colfax and Cherry Creek, and nothing in between.
I liked the atmosphere in Snappy Nails, plenty of space and lots of new nice pedi chairs. However, I was very disappointed in the quality of the mani/​pedi. The pedicure was going great until I looked down and there was nail polish everywhere, and then the person doing my toes told me someone else would be finishing up and then doing my nails. ??
Unfortunately, the person that came to fill in attempted to fix the polish on my toes and failed. I didn’t realize it at the time, but when I left I noticed I still had nail polish all over my toes and not concentrated on my toe nails. My little sister can get it on my toe nail, so why can’t a professional?
I think the reason I didn’t realize that there was nail polish all over my toes is because I was concentrated on the burning pain in my fingers! Twice the person doing my nails cut right through my skin while trying to cut my cuticles. I think she put alcohol on one of them to try to stop the bleeding… hence the stinging. I wish I could download a picture of my cuticles to include with this review because that would really paint the picture. To top it off I barely got a ‘sorry’ for the pain. Where’s the customer service? Other than the two scabs on my left hand my nails look pretty good! …Trying to find the positive…
Unfortunately I will not be going back to Snappy Nails, which is disappointing because I liked the price & location.

After going here, I probably won’t be going anywhere else in Denver. This place is calming, absolutely sanitary, and the mani/​pedi was perfectly done. I have been looking for a place that can actually paint nails correctly, and this place is it! I am really picky about my nails… I am so relieved I don’t have to keep getting disappointed after every manicure I get.
PS. BOTH services were $ 28 + tip, not bad!
