Foxy Nails

I stopped in to get a quick basic manicure. I went over to look at the colors of polish and the woman directed me back to her chair to look at her colors. She told me these colors would last 10 days and it’s $ 25. I politely said No thank you but she kept pushing the 10 day polish instead of the $ 15 manicure. She said the polish would only last 2 days. Why offer a service that they don’t stand behind is beyond me. After I said no for the 3^rd time I could tell she didn’t like that answer and her entire mood shifted towards me. She barely filed my nails, even told my thumb nail was so bad that she could do nothing g to it. I asked her to straighten it out and I can tell that made her mad. These people are very rude, very pushy, and very unprofessional. I will never go back.

I been here many times and it is usually enjoyable… I am writing this as I sit in the pedicure chair for over an hour with no one working on my feet. I made a 100 appt for myself and 2 daughters. it is now 215. they are already done and waiting for me while I still have to have a full pedicure and manicure… so ridiculous… I dont think I’ll be back. I wish they would have said they were too busy to accommodate all 3 of us.

I have used this business for manicures, pedicures, no chip manicures, and waxing for 4+ years. Today I had a terrible experience that I think is representative of the decline of their customer service. I walked in asking for a no chip and pedicure and I appeared to be next in line. In reality, everyone currently in the pedicure chair was also in line for a manicure so I faced a 45 minute wait minimum as they moved to the second service for each person in the salon. They misrepresented the wait time and left me soaking in the foot soak for so long the water was ice cold and my feet were swollen with water and very prune like. They also put foil on my existing no chip that stayed on for 90+ minutes and my finger tips were aching. I took the foils off and found my own nails all curled and painful to the touch. Eventually all clients left and they started on me. The manager arrived and the workers started yelling at each other in Vietnamese for a good half hour during which I received a very aggressive and stressful pedicure. My gal was giving me an aggressive pedicure with one hand and gesturing madly with the other. I have never seen them yell so loudly even though heated gossip in Vietnamese takes place often. My tech was switching between Vietnamese and English talking about shop supplies and putting things back when you use them. I moved to the manicure station and had to ask the worker to slow down because she was very aggressive with her nail cutting and cuticle trimming. The walk-​ins kept coming, they left many waiting for long times and I felt extremely rushed and stressed despite being in the salon almost two hours. Honestly, this was a horrible experience and I will look for a different salon for my business going forward. I normally get a great experience but they seemed to be very short staffed today and they are not up front about the wait times in order to keep you in the salon at all costs.

Visited this place for the first time. Nice décor a little outdated but nice. Employees were very friendly. Kept a conversation going throughout the visit. Price was average.
I went to get a No Chip and the result turned out really good. I left overall happy with the work.
Reason I’m not giving rating a 5 star is due to not practicing using sanitized/​sterilized tools. My first impression was — okay maybe it was a one time error the technician did by not getting a sealed tool pouch. From reading other reviews I see that it wasn’t an error and this salon really doesn’t use sterilizer machines. So that alone might be the deal breaker for NOT going back. Another reason for rating 3 stars is due to not getting a hand massage. My job consist of a lot of data entry so not getting the massage was a BIG disappointment.

THIS PLACE IS THE WORST!!!
i do not care for no chip and they ALWAYS try to tell me why I should get it. It’s insulting not to listen to your customer. I am a 49 year old woman who has been getting mani/​pedis for YEARS and I know the difference between a basic vs spa pedi. I ask for the basic all the time, and they ALWAYS try selling me the spa for $ 10.00 more. I got the spa today, and she barely massaged my legs, my heels are still rough and my polish is a trocious! When I first started my pedi, I put my feet in the water and it was VERY hot. I asked her to cool it off a little, and she turned the cold water on. After a few seconds, I told her ok, it was good to stop, and she just kept it running. Now the water is ice cold, so I laughed and told her nicely that she let it run to long and it’s ice cold, to please add a bit more hot. Her and the male nail tech doing a pedi next to me, looked at each other and just started laughing and making fun of me. Now, just because they are speaking a different language, doesn’t mean I don’t know they are talking about me., and they are looking at me while they are doing it. The girl next to me just looked at me with an «I’m sorry» look on her face. She knew too. They completely take advantage of you there and do not care about their customers. The tools came from an unsealed pouch, they use dirty files on you are are plain old mean. They treat you like shit.
I WILL NEVER GIVE THEM ANOTHER $$$ of mine.
Do not go here!!!
If I could give zero stars, I would

From the diluted polish (I watched as acetone was poured into the bottle), streaky polish color, I didn’t see the tools come from a sealed pouch or one of the machines, I asked for a very little bit of length taken off and got most of the nail filed down, to my daughter’s acrylics being completely uneven in shape and sloppy fill in.
I’ve gone here several times and one time stepped into a tub for a pedicure that had scalding hot water. The tech didn’t know how the temp control knobs worked. Done with Foxy.

went in search of a better pedicure compared to ones I have been reciving lately. the price was a bit more than ususal at $ 35 for a basic. I didn’t look at their board to see if it’s the same; next time I will. The pedicure was amazing. There was just one issue where the workers got into an argument over tips during my service. it was uncomfortable and unprofessional. They should have waited until the customers left or taken the conversation to the back of the store.

Got my nails done (for the first time ever here), it was not the best experience. I had asked specifically for only a select few of my nails to get acrylics (since my other ones were already long and filed to shape) and the lady doing my nails cut off all my nails and put acrylics on all of them. Then, after asking for a specific shape, (long and rounded) I was told no. My cuticles remained untouched even after I asked if she could cut them.
The actual handling of my nails was very rough and poorly done. Also, I asked for matte black nails and there were some nails with huge gaps that had no polish. I had to go home to reshape them as well as repaint. Also, my friend had been paying with her debit card, he swiped it from the wrong side, then told her it had been declined. When she asked for him to swipe it again, he said no. After finally swiping it again, it worked fine but the way the situation was handled was slightly rude. I thought prices were decent if they had been done well, but unfortunately I would not recommend.

I stopped in for a manicure and did not have to wait. The lady helping was extremely nice and friendly. As other posters mentioned, she did try to up-​sell me from a basic manicure to a no chip. Even after I declined she kept talking about it.
Some things that perturbed me: there was a piece of corn stuck to the towel that I was resting my hands on, the cuticle cutters were taken out of a autoclave envelope that had not been auto-​claved (I can tell) and the seal was not ever closed as the sticker was still on it, the nail polish I choose was watered down with some substance, and one of my nails was completely jagged.
My manicure was okay at best. My cuticles still don’t look like they had any tissue removed. I will not be returning.

I stopped in here for convenience, having moved here recently away from my normal fantastic salon. This place in completely over priced for the work done. My nails were already had air bubbles underneath the next day. You could also see my real nails through their $ 50 pink and white set. They use cheap materials although the man who did my nails was nice. My old salon charges $ 35 for the same pink and white set and it is so much better work.

Was running to Target and stopped in to see if I could get a manicure. A lady was sitting down in one of the waiting room chairs talking on her phone and basically put the phone down and asked if she could help me. I said I wanted just a basic manicure. She kept pushing me to get a no-​chip. When I politely said no thank you, she asked me why not. I said it was expensive and that I had just had one on and wanted a basic this time. She then tried to bargain with me on the price. I still declined and honestly I thought about getting up and leaving. Then she said I needed an eye brow wax and she could do it after the nails. I have never been pushed so much for additional services, it was extremely uncomfortable. Then, the lady ended up ripping the size of my nail/​skin to shreds. I told her that area was sensitive and then she basically kept yanking on the skin until it bled. It’s safe to say I will never return to Foxy Nails.

After reading the reviews, I was sure I was going to love this place! That was not the case. I called a head and the man who answered said he would be ready for me in 10 minutes. It took 30 minutes before they even sat me down to soak. I ended up being in there 1.5 hours!!! The man who did my nails was constantly walkign away to pay money to the employees or answer the phone. His personal calls he was making on his cell were the most annoying! Way too long for a quick no chip. To top it off my french tips are crooked and look terrible. The gash in my cuticle is more painful then the $ 40 I paid to have this terrible job done. I will NEVER go to the place again!!! Worst nail experience, I was better off going to the mall… dissapointed.

UPDATE:
I don’t think I will return to Foxy Nails. I arrived on a Friday afternoon and it was quite busy. I sat for about 20 minutes before getting into a chair for a pedi. I believe I had the owner working on my feet/​toes. He was constantly being interrupted and leaving to deal with customers and/​or answer the phone. The final result of my pedi was sloppy. I had jagged toe nails (had to re-​file them at home) that were poorly painted. The heel/​foot scrub was a weak attempt and by Saturday I had a crack in one heel that is now quite painful and sore. I have never had this after a pedi before. The only upside is that the man was extremely nice (hence 2 stars). The price I paid however did not reflect the work received.
This was my original 5 star review…
I walked in just after closing time (I had checked online at the hours, but must have looked at the wrong place). I felt bad and asked if it was still okay to get a pedi. The owner (maybe) didn’t seem to have a problem with that (not sure how the employees felt). There were other customers still in the store, so maybe that was why he didn’t mind? I’ve been here in the past and have always had a good experience. Very pleased that they didn’t mind my after hours arrival after my somewhat stressful day.
And while the pedi seemed a little rushed (I don’t really blame him — I’d rush to if it was an hour past closing) he did a great job.

I walked in there for the 1^st time today & I’m glad I did. It’s right by Target & I never noticed it. The lady that did my nails was very detailed & she took her time (I was in No Rush) so it worked out perfectly. The place is very nice & they had kinda soothing music. She did suggest that I needed to do my eyebrows & I did. She did a good job on that too! I got the No Chip manicure & I agree with another reviewer that sd $ 40 is too much compared to what other salons charge for that, which is like $ 30-​$ 35. Either way, I was happy & I’ll def go back!

Very impressive as you walk inside. Well lit, bright and soft Christmas music playing. I was greeted at the door and had no wait once I picked my color. The spa pedicure with Parrifin Wax was phenomenal. My gel fill was nicely done. The owner asked if it was my first time and I said Yes as I’ve just moved to Plainfield last month. He gave me his card and welcomed me to return soon! I highly recommend!

Used to come to this salon years ago before they remodeled. Had gone with a friend for a pedi the other day and were undecided on where we’d go cuz it’s so hard to find a place that consistently does a good job. So we ended up here after a Unilocal review. Didn’t have to wait long. The staff was very friendly but seemed annoyed at my need to try and figure out the way the chair worked. I had seen the price of the pedi upon entering which said 25.00 (i think) for a basic pedi. When my friend asked about it they said no and handed us the «spa» menu. Of course all of these started at 35.00. When I said that the front sign said 25.00, they said «oh yea basic ok». we ended up opting for the spa one anyways but didn’t like the slyness. Pedi was good, nice massage and my toes were nicely and evenly polished.
My only problem was this darn chair. It’s kinda a big thing for me when I go for a pedi. I want to get a nice chair massage. These chairs were very un-​user friendly. They looked new and all but trying to operate them was a whole different story. So that part of the experience I missed out on cuz, I couldn’t figure it out and so I sat through the weak, lame massage that was going.

I was very impressed with the cleanliness and friendliness of this shop. It’s hidden on the back of a busier plaza on 95^th and 59. We ended up here as a fluke but were glad we did. The technicians spoke wonderful English, made conversation with their clients instead of one another and were very focused. It felt like a once in a lifetime experience to be honest with you. I have never felt comfortable throughout my entire experience at a little nail shop.
They really work for their up-​selling tho. They are forward but will let it go usually if you say no. I appreciate the effort… maybe one of these days I will say yes to one.

I really like Foxy Nails. The staff is very friendly, especially Nam. He gives amazing pedicures! In fact, I started going to Foxy Nails after he switched salons because he is that good! I like the fact that they have up-​to-​date massage chairs with a kneading feature and that they offer different types of pedicures. The only drawback though, is that the $ 40 charge for gel nail polish manicure is kind of pricey! Other salons in the area charge around $ 30.

Best pedicure ever. No joke. I’ve gone to TONS of nail salons trying to find a good one and I have finally found THE one.
Most recently I’ve gone to Le Nails on 135^th and they don’t even compare to the experience I received at Foxy Nails. My feet were still rough and my nails were barely trimmed. It looked like I needed another pedicure the very next day.
I didn’t ask his name, but a little chubby Asian guy did my pedicure. :) He ROCKED. He was extremely thorough and made my feet feel faaabulous. He was also super friendly and spoke English! Yay! LOL
I WILL go back to this place and will recommend it to others.

Salon has several stations, accepts walk-​ins, and is fairly reasonably price. Nail techs are ok, but the owner is constantly trying to push other services and you can hear him also tell the nail techs to do the same. The gel nails were also not done very well as my nails were already lifting and peeling the day after my nails were done. The owner insisted that gel was more durable and long lasting, but I think that he said that because they are twice the price of acrylics.
The nail techs were nice enough and the facility is laid out well and convenient, but I am still on the hunt for a new nail salon.
