Gel polish is great — long-lasting, looks great. Only downside is that you really need to go back to get it removed, but that’s true anywhere. They’ve been prompt, friendly — occasional slight communication difficulties, but basically good.

Mani/pedi on Thursday 7÷2÷15 afternoon, $ 35. Friday, toes ok, nails look like they were done at least 7 days ago, not a little more then 24HOURS. Chipped on 8 nails. I didn’t do any activity to do this. I would have called on Sat. But they were closed till Monday went in and requested they do them again sure, but they expected to be paid again when I refused they informed me that manicures are not guaranteed and only lasts for 1 or 2 days. WHAT!. Made an appt for Tuesday today at 11 got there first sat with one tech then owner did it repeting that there is no guarantee I told him to post that there is no guans tee and they only last for one day. No, no, no cant do that! He tells me you picked out the polish that chips!!! these over here last for two weeks and are guaranteed. use this one then, oh no these cost more money, on and on how this is the only time he will do it over for me and not charge me?.it was a favor… really? So I just my point is know what you’re paying for cause it might not be what you think and you we all did our nails ourselves not long ago, it’s not hard and you can’t beat the price… FREE, If I do get a mani/pedi ever again it wouldn’t be at deluxe nail and spa, and that’s my GUARANTEE ‚!!!

I used to love this place… They do a good job on your nails but I’ve had it with waiting. I always make an appt and find myself waiting each time I come in 20 – 30 min. This past time I waited for almost 50 minutes… I inquire with the manager and say I have a 515pm appt it’s almost 6pm… He looks at me like I have 5 heads and nothing’s wrong, no apology. What’s the point of making an appt then? I would’ve walked out but desperately needed to get my nails done… Last time I’m going there…

Very inconsistent… definitely depends on who you get… most of the women are miserable, do not even look at you they just push your body where they want you to go… its like uhhhh last time I checked you can speak a couple words!

This place used to be really good but every time I’ve gone recently, I’m disappointed more and more. They’re totally inconsistent with the quality of their service and the owner is a jerk so when you show him a bad manicure(while you’re still in the salon), he blames it on you. Further, they don’t prioritize appointments, so you could easily have a scheduled appointment at 5 and not sit down with your manicurist til 5:45. Sounds fun, huh?

They were professional and the place was clean. Ida was kind especially with me being ticklish. She gave a great leg and foot massage. I even smudged a nail and they took care of it right away. They were busy so I would recommend making an appointment but I was a walk in and got a chair in 10 minutes. I will be back, plus great price.

As a hairstylist I 1) have some training/knowledge about nails 2) turn to coating options to keep my paws looking pretty. I’ve been doing various types of gels for the past year or so. Henry is the first person that I’ve been to who really understands the different gel options and the advantages of each. He recommended an acrylic/gel blend for me made out of a powder activated by a liquid. As a non uv option, this gel sets and dries naturally very quickly and is extremely efficient. Generally when I do a new set of uv gels it takes an hour and a half. With this method, it took 45 minutes! Henry’s precision was also excellent. He did a great job of shaping my natural nails ensuring that they were filed evenly in length, parallel to my fingers(I hate crookedness), and the right degree of square for me. A special forming/cutting tool(think cookie cutter) was used to create a french manicure with the gel as opposed to the more common brush method. The outcome — an extremely well curved even line that took seconds to form. I highly recommend Henry and Deluxe.
