Venetian Nail Salon & Spa

I’ve been going to this salon for years. They are very friendly and talented! I’m always happy with my nails. Johnny is the best owner.

Visited the nail salon on the day after my wedding so my hands and eyebrows could look good returning to work. We walked in got helped right away; they were very demanding, rude and snappy. My husband went with and got a pedicure because i made him (kidding) and she (Kelly) was snapping at him to move his feet and saying he needed his eyebrows done asap and etc. The ladies doing my nails (Kim) was telling me i needed shellac on my nails only an extra 12 dollars and i said i was fine just wanted a basic clear manicure. She again said so you want shellac and i repeated no. Once we were leaving my husband went to put his shoes on and they yelled across the salon DONT they aren’t dry for an hour!!! I have to say i will not be returning or referring anyone. The only plus about this place is there salon dog. he was the only sweet thing there. DON’T GO!

Don’t go to this place! You will be sorry. So unprofessional with terrible service. This place needs to get shut down. I’ve never been more disgusted in my entire life with the quality of work that was done. You’ve been warned!

The first time I went in I had a gel manicure by a fellow named Tuong (I think. Younger guy. Not Johnny) and he did a fabulous job. I mean, top notch. No chipping (and I worked on my mtn bike and went camping).
So after it grew out I returned with no appt since I wasn’t sure of his name. This time I came in and someone in the front seemed interested in helping me but then suddenly I was pressured into a mani/​pedi (why not) and another older woman pulled me back for a pedicure, then to the very back for a mani. She gave me a small choice for colors and used a different brand than Tuong. The color was terrible. I wanted the same color as before (nude). The manicure was terrible. Started peeling away less than 24 hours to the point that three days later I went to Sally and got a kit to remove the gel.
Bummed as I have a wedding trip coming up and not sure where to take a risk. Wish I knew why the front of the salon seems vastly different than the back. Was also pressured to pay for cash, given a discount to do so.

I see Kelly at Venetian Nails and she does a beautiful job. She is also the very best Brow technician!!!

I’ve been going to Venetian for YEARS and have always been happy with the people and service. They are very friendly and welcoming and I love the therapy dog Benz that’s on site. Johnny is the ONLY one I let do my acrylic.

Let’s start by saying the moment I walked in the door the cute dog greeted my friends and I and was extremely calm.
We had no wait time whatsoever and all of our techs were nice and knew exactly how to do what we asked for.
Johnny did my nails, I had to do a debase on my full set and one of my nails was cracked and beat up pretty bad, he fixed it perfectly, no pain at all and changed my oval nails into the stiletto ones the last shop should’ve done.
The pricing was SO cheap too! It’s also good quality work. I’m never going anywhere else when I’m in town.

I haven’t been to Venetian nail spa for a while, I loved the newly remodel .The salon look more open and better yet they have a therapy Pit mix dog Benz he is so sweet and calm. He will loves you much more if you give him dog treat, always have the best experience and sanitize theirs instrument seal in pouch open new for every clients, love love this place.

Good service for the money if you pay cash. There is a discount for cash payments. My gel nails have lasted two weeks with our chipping so I am pleased and will go back!

Had a pedicure twice at this salon. Both times the nails took forever to completely dry and then the polish wore off in a few days. Believe their polishes may be too old. Will not be back.

I am writing this review as someone who KNOWS a good salon. I was a former bank executive that traveled nationally extensively for a living for more than 13 years. I have used LITERALLY DOZENS of nail salons in 20 different states during the course of my travels. I am now retired and live in the high Rocky Mountains between a cluster of resort towns and routinely use Venetian in Golden.
I drive over 1.5 hours and over 80 miles one way to get my nails done at Venetian Nails and Spa in Golden, Colorado because of excellent product quality, excellent FAST service, and FRIENDLY service. Due to my lifestyle it’s always a walk in for me– going on over a year now minimum twice monthly. I am always greeted with a friendly reception and have NEVER had to wait for more than 2 minutes. I try to get Johnny, the owner, but he is usually already serving someone but NO WORRIES– someone else is readily available. I have been lucky enough to get Maggie the last two visits and she, also, is fast and excellent.
The price you pay for their services are the most reasonable I have encountered in this state. Try going to a salon at these resort towns I live between and you will see what I mean.
As for the negative review below about the quick pedicure having no massage, that’s your problem, lady, not theirs. What part of «Quick Pedicure» did you not understand? You GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! You can get the full service pedicure with massage if you order it and pay the minimal up charge. You have to have time and request full service pedicure.
I also routinely bring my 3 legged Maltese in with me and Benz, the therapy dog, greets her very gently. He is the biggest sweetie of a gentle well behaved canine you will ever meet. He is NOT aggressive. If you don’t care for dogs, just as the tech to put him in his corner. He is well trained.

My friend and I were traveling through Golden and had our nails done here. We were both very pleased and wished they were in our town. My friend had Johnny do her nails and told her that she had air bubbles which can lead to fungus and how to look out for it. She appreciated his knowledge and expertise. My manicurist did a fast and excellent job. This is a very nice salon and has 15 workers. No wait and good service.

I went here for the first time and it was $ 22 for a what they call «quick pedicure» there was no massage included and they didn’t take any dry skin off my feet. I was totally disappointed! The massage is one of the best parts when you pay for a pedicure. On top of that all they have a pit bull dog mix that is there all the time. I am was not comfortable with that and I’m sure I’m not the only person. Also, they pressure you to spend more money by suggesting your eyebrow wax, nail design or a better pedicure. (I hate when nail shops do this.) I showed my nail tech a picture of a nail design I wanted and she said she could do it for $ 7 extra and my toe designed looked nothing like the picture I showed her. I wish she would have been honest and said she couldn’t do it. I would have rather left my nails plain. The whole experience was an utter disappointment and I will not be going back. They also charge more if you use a credit card just an f.y.i.

I have been going here for years for nails, pedicures and waxing. I LOVE Johnny and his staff. The fabulous Tina is my number one but others in the salon have helped me when Tina is gone. They are ALL great. They get me right in even when I just stop by. The pricing is the best around. The salon is super clean and nice. I love the fun atmosphere in there. I recommend this salon to anyone who wants to look great and have fun doing it.

Let me start by saying I get shellac manicures done every 2 – 3 weeks — so this wasn’t my first rodeo, even here. But I left feeling totally turned off and won’t be back.
I work relatively close to this salon, so even though I don’t «go» here, I will if a girlfriend from work wants to get their names done together or need something quick.
A few weeks ago I called and made an appointment for two of us around 5 which is a busy time for them, it was chaotic. When I sat down I said I wanted just a regular mani and not a shallac mani this time and the tech wouldn’t accept it. She kept pushing it on me!
Then, halfway through my nail soak (in cold water) I was moved to a completely new tech who was more concerned about playing with the salon pet dog than she was about me. The discussion then comes up AGAIN, why not shellac? I said I don’t want it this time, I just want the color I handed you. She brought it up over and over and talked about the chipping, etc. I said I know, I get my nails done all the time — but I don’t want it right now.
The dog continued to yank at her pocket where she had treats the entire time she did my nails. Then she asked for payment prior to the paint, which I understand because it will smudge. I gave her a cash tip, even though I hated it there and couldn’t wait to get out of this zoo. Even then, she didn’t even say thank you.
Beware if you go here, they will try to add on every service they have and won’t take no for an answer. Unappreciative and rude! There are so many other salons, pick one that makes you feel relaxed, not stressed!

I have been to this place twice in the last couple of months and have had Shellac done. Both times the nail polish started to chip after just a couple of days. I don’t know if it’s because the polish is old or if it’s just not done correctly. I won’t be going back for sure.

It is really hard to find a really good salon! I just had the best experience I have ever had! I had Johnny the manager do a full set and I told him that I have a big party tonight and needed spectacular nails and explained what I wanted and he did them better than I could have imagined! He truly cares about the customer and makes you feel it! The environment is just so fun! I highly recommend them! And will never go anywhere else!

I have been going to this nail spa for two years now and I have always been happy with their service. Even though they were a little pricey I thought It was well worth the quality and hospitality that I was shown. However I was very disappointed with my last visit. Needless to say I will not be returning. It was quite an embarrassing show I witnessed, I overheard one of the employees get into an argument with a client over $ 5. A lady returned the day after getting her nails done because they had already chipped, she was happy to pay for another pedicure. When it was time for her to pay they charged her $ 5 more than what she paid the day before, she simply asked why and he started to argue with her in front of every client it was truly a sad sight. And their 10% discount for birthdays is a scam they gave me $ 2 off my $ 102 bill. I hope they know that silly argument cost them many clients.

I love this place and Mary she is the best at what she does!!! I send everyone here!

I have been to this nail salon twice for Pedicures and once for a lip/​eyebrow wax. I don’t get my nails done because I’m too hard on my hands, so I can’t comment on that, but each Pedi I have gotten has been great!
They always have room to seat you right away– I never make an appointment. The massage chairs are super comfey. Everything is very clean, if a little cluttered looking (bathroom has a standard wire rack haphazardly holding toilet paper, cleaning supplies, towels, etc., the main open area has alot of nic-​nacs here and there, but its not UNpleasant).
The nail technician is always very polite, you don’t feel like they are talking about you in front of your face, and most of the workers speak in English about whatever they are talking about, so its kind of a friendly atmosphere, you feel like you can pitch in on the conversation, or just stay silent and giggle on this inside, whatever. I like that. My toesies always look BEAUTIFUL afterwards, I always get the full leg scrub and toe art design, and I usually pay about $ 40+tip and the polish and design lasts around 2 months for me (but I rarely run around barefoot so, I think it depends on how rough you are on your feet and how fast your nails grow.
I will say that when I got my wax, the lip was great but the waxing technician took WAAAY more off my eyebrows than I wanted. Nice shape, she didn’t miss any hair, but they ended up way thinner than I normally like. She didn’t specify how much I wanted taken off first, she just jumped right in. So if you are getting a wax here, fine, just be sure before she starts she knows EXACTLY what you want so you don’t end up with something you won’t like, you just have to speak up.
Definitely give this place a try!
