Magic Nails

I had a 1:00 appointment and my pedicure didn’t start till 1:40. My nails still haven’t dried eleven hours later. They still are sticky to the touch and have bubbles in the polish. Not the best experience. Try somewhere else. Walmart’s even better then this place.

1 star because I can’t do no star rating. I just had the worst experience I have EVER HAD. avoid this place!!! My nails were already filed to my preferred style from my usual spot in CA. But broke a nail so decided to pamper myself on my vacation and redo the entire set. First I called and specifically asked for powered to be placed on my broken nail. I also said it when I came in. She put glue on and made a comment when I said I wanted powder instead. She didn’t know how to do powder so had to call someone else over to do it. She also cut my nail to short making it hard to obtain my desired style. Then proceeded to file it down too much now making it impossible to get the style I wanted. I was frustrated but figured… What’s done is done. Until her boss asked her «how much longer» she proceeded to say «this customer is frustrating» little did she know I’M VIETNAMESE ALSO! Haha … I got up and left the shop in the middle of my manicure!!! AVOID THIS PLACE. Go to SPA NAILS instead. Same shopping plaza. Cleaner and better service.

I am here partly because of the good reviews and I could confirm that they are right. The place is really good and if you are in the area and looking for a decent place that you can trust, you should definitely try this one out. Techs are attentive and nice. They are also very knowledgeable and creative. I asked them for a few designs and they came up with gorgeous ones which I can’t ask for more. Clean up and organized. Very reasonable price. Highly recommended !!!

My second time here and they do a great job I love this color. Even when it’s busy they get you in its great

Was not sure what to do in the afternoon so I thought I could try another nail salon today. I picked the place out of curiosity after the read the reviews and I am so glad I did. The place is very clean and the way they organize everything here made the place look pretty spacious. Techs are nice, vocal and very qualified for the job. I had no problem explaining what I wanted to be done and I left very happy with my nails. Sanitation is a big plus. They use high quality products and beautiful colors plus the tech took extra time to make sure everything looked great so I could really feel that my nails would last for a long time. Very reasonable price comparing to many other places around the area. Highly recommended !!!

When my friend and I walked in it was a bit busy, but the gentlemen at the front desk sat us down right away. The lady that did my nails did an amazing job! She was a little rough with the nail filer other than that im not complaining. I love my nails I decided to go with pink and white. Defiantly will be going back!

Ken is absolutely amazing! Such a kind man and his wife is very nice as well. He did gel nails on me, the perfect length shape and thickness. So happy with them

Being able to experience such wonderful attention is the best feeling. Thanks to my boyfriend for paying for my relaxation day! Wonderful experience with their friendly staff, and so professional. Havin such a wonderful girl on girl talk. So nice and relaxing! I was able to get a manicure for a very fair price. I highly recommend this salon to anyone!

This place is my new fav! Used to go to happy foot, now I go here!!!
kn Is the best!!! He is does a wonderful job. I recommend him to all:)

My roommate and I love coming here for pedicures. I don’t remember the names of the people who have done my nails, but I received great service from everyone I’ve had so far.
The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because I’m extremely picky about my nails when I get acrylics done. I got a pink and white done here once before a pageant and, although it wasn’t awful, it wasn’t as near-​perfect as I would have liked. However, I do love that they use the clear tips and layer on the white instead of using white tips.

The salon was clean and friendly. Huang did an excellent job on my new set. I will be returning.

I’ve been a steady customer now for about 5 +years. Everyone is always so friendly. Once you have been in a few times they remember you and your feet. ;) I really appreciate the efficient service. They have massage chairs which is nice and the place is reliably clean. Just pick your polish and have a seat;)

I had a nice experience here Thursday. I got a pedi. The girl did a good job and was very sweet. I will be back!

Well. I’ve been waiting here for an hour already in the pedicure chair, when they said 15 mins. Really debating if I should just leave or wait it out, but some people don’t have all day to do this.
Ok an hour later I was finally started on my pedicure. It took 40 mins. 40 mins for a pedicure? I’ve never spent that long for a pedicure. When I’m done, they tell me to wait for my manicure. Well. 30 mins later I finally get to start on that.
The whole time the man doing my nails is flirting with me, asking if I have a lot of boyfriends or if I’m here awhile. I do the same thing whenever I get uncomfortable in this situation. I tell them I’m lesbian in hopes they leave me alone. Well it didn’t work lol he started asking if I have a lot of girlfriends. *sigh*
It took about 45 mins for my one color manicure to be done. This was a total of… 3 hours spent at this place. Not worth it. I’ll definately be finding a different place to go to.

Very nice service, I had Daniel.
But I am from SF so it’s a bit pricey from what I am used to.

I love this place!!! I’ve moved further south of town since I started coming here years ago, but it’s worth the drive!!! What’s better than a matching mani/​pedi? Umm… nothing!!! Great job guys see you in a few weeks!

There are a ton of walk-​in average nail salons, this is disguised as just that.
Now as far as nail salons go — it does smell of acrylic, it’s not very intimate, and your nail tech will at some point be on the phone. If that’s not for you — shush and go pay for that intimacy.
I had gotten a botched nail job in NJ two weeks before and my nails were starting to frighten even me. I walked in and didn’t have to wait. Ken greeted me and I showed him a picture of a nail shape, this man is the master of nail shaping. He read my mind the whole entire time he was shaping my acrylic, if I saw it, he was on it seconds later.
$ 23 fill later and some new paint, these claws are ready to impress!
Definitely a hidden gem!
Thanks Ken!

I had an ok experience here. To me it was just another nail salon. I’ve been in twice. Once to have some gel polish removed and the other to get a pedicure.
The place wasn’t anything to write home about. Service was just ok. Though both times as a walk in I was seen immediately and didn’t have to wait.

Magic Nails is currently my go-​to spot for getting manicures. The decision to get my nails done is always last minute for me, so I’ve never made an appointment. Nevertheless I usually don’t ever have to wait more than five minutes for service.
My gel manicures ($ 25) from them always last at least three weeks, and I appreciate that they achieve the goals of care and speediness, which is a hard combo to bring about. I also appreciate that no one tries to make small talk with me. I’m just not a small talk sort of person while that person is preforming a service for me!
Magic Nails is usually bustling and has a good vibe inside. There is a very large screen TV on the back wall that is usually playing something amazing and innocuous. It’s a great place to get nails done, which is why I keep coming back.
Why only four stars? I love the super strong hand and arm massages that come with manicures (either before the color for regular polish or after the color for gel polish) and unfortunately I’ve gotten a lot of weak massages.

Normally I wouldn’t review a nail salon until at least 2 weeks after my gel manicure to see how it turned out– aka if it chipped early on or if it lasted really well but in this case I was so unhappy with my experience that it honestly doesn’t matter if they last forever– I still am unlikely to return.
To start– it’s so frustrating to write a poor review when I really, really wanted to like this place and was also looking forward to going here because of the other positive reviews. This is not my normal nail salon– my normal woman was out of town and my nails were chipping like crazy so I had to go somewhere. They open at 10am on Sunday and were close to my house so they became the obvious first choice after I read the other reviews here.
When I arrived there were about 5 workers in the salon serving roughly 5 people and I was surprised but happy to see that it was busy so early to their opening time. (I was not able to make an appointment because I only decided I was going to go at 9:30am that morning before they were open.) I walked in, the man who seemed to be in charge told me to pick a color and then I waited. I waited about 10 minutes before he noticed that I was wearing gel polish and we should probably start getting that off now because it takes awhile. We did the «dip» method as I call it — I dipped my fingers in Acetone remover for about 10 minutes, then he drilled off the top layer, then I dipped again. Total dipping time was over 30 minutes, which is long for removing gel. If you do the individual tinfoil finger wrap it only takes about 15 minutes. Anyway, then someone was able to start working on me. This area of the service was fine at the time, but by the time she was done I noticed that one hand looked very different from the other — one of my hands the nails were very, very short and the skin where my nail should be showed and on my other hand my nails were short but not as short and the nails covered the area they are supposed to. This is a bit frustrating. Finally it’s time for paint– most of this goes normally however this salon only did 2 coats of gel color– every other salon I’ve been to has done 3. I feel like my color would have been more rich and long lasting if they had done 3 layers. I didn’t ask for another layer because I had to go, but still am frustrated they didn’t just do it.
Finally, what frustrated me the most was after he was done with my nails he was filing the edges and doing it really rough. It hurt on most of my fingers but when he got to my pinky finger I literally Unilocaled from pain– and I looked down and it was bleeding. He said «oh no» and got some GLUE– without even asking me. I tried to ask what he was doing but before I could stop him he had put nail glue to seal my cut. I was not happy he did that without asking me.
When it was time to checkout he assumed that I knew how much this was going to cost and wanted to take my card. I had to take the initiative to ask him how much and then let him process my payment. During this, he walked away and I was left thinking… «so are we done here?» I didn’t have my receipt so I called to him and he turned around and gave it to me.
Overall, I was disappointed in my visit for many reasons and am not likely to go back. I’m not sure if my experience was common or one of a million but I sincerely wish it had been better.
