Exotic Nails

The staff isn’t the most friendly, and sometimes they take a while to do a gel polish change. They do a good job with my manicures though and have lots of color options. I dislike the fact that you cannot leave a tip on your card — I have to go get cash every two weeks for a tip. It is a very clean salon and nicely decorated.

I’ve been coming here for year, over 5 to be more precise. This past Friday was the first bad experience I ever had. The guy who sits in the last row before the pedicure chairs did my nails and i couldn’t be more disappointed. He sped through my pedicure at warp speed where I had to come home and fix my cuticles and scrub my heels. My manicure was the same, warp speed and so unbelievably half a$$ed. It’s been just two days and 5 yes 5 of my nails have chipped. Super bummed.

It took me 3 hours to get a fill and my toes done here. They gave me a free eyebrow wax for the wait time which made it better… until 3 of my acrylic nails fell off within a week. The polish chipped on my remaining nails. I am not going back

If I could have given zero stars I would have! Steer clear … Brought my own polish and the girl handed me the wrong polish back completely zoning on which was mine. Polished my toes, forgot to put my sandals on, tried and smudged 4 toes. She then tried a second time! Finally I said stop and I will just go barefoot to the drying station. No tip for this one! Stay away! Also who charges $ 27 for a basic pedicure and you supply the polish!

I used to go here all the time because I went with my friend who had been getting manicures here for years and I don’t drive, so it was convenient to go with her. However, we both started to notice how mediocre their service was. First of all, no matter who did my nails, (I get acrylics) it was always EXTREMELY painful. I mean, I have several tattoos that were easier to sit through. Then there’s the man who works there. As far as I know he’s the only male employee. I used to end up stuck with him all the time and he would always try to pressure me into getting a gel manicure over my acrylics. When I say «pressure» I mean he would basically order me into it multiple times before he got around to painting my nails and I would have to stand my ground very firmly. Gels are about twice the price over acrylics as regular polish, so I think he was just looking for a bigger tip. On top of that, I went in once with a couple broken nails and he was clearly making fun of me to the girl sitting next to him while fixing my nails. I noticed another review where someone said they gave her a hard time for wanting black polish. This happened to me once too. They are also are a bit more expensive than most places in the area, which wouldn’t be a problem, except for the abysmal service. Would NOT recommend.

I went in for a French manicure the manicure lasted about two weeks very friendly quiet environment nice clean in reasonable pricing

I have only gotten my nails done here once, and the guy I had knew it was my first time ever getting my nails done, and he was still very mean and aggressive. My fingers hurt by the time he was finished. I would only give that experience one star. Well, MAYBE two, because the nails were shaped nicely.
They know their stuff when it comes to waxing eyebrows AND it’s only $ 10 as opposed to the $ 12 it is at most other places.

The 4 star review goes only to one person (girl with bob haircut), Tracy I think its her name and she sits on table 8. I had gel manicure done with her for a friend’s wedding and it lasted me 2 months. She was very nice and friendly.
So, recently, I went back and did both manicure and pedicure for my own wedding. She was super careful — I was there for few hours. I had rhinestones on all my nails and its been 3 weeks and nothing has moved. (looks like I just got them). Great work! I would only go back to her.
In addition, in the past I had my nails done by another girl and I hate it. (I happened to work with her because Tracy was with another customer). She cut my nails too short. She started to do them before I had a chance to speak. She rushed me to pick the color and also asked me to pay her before she even started. Rude and poor quality work.

Went to Exotic a couple weeks ago for a gel manicure and won’t be returning. My nail guy seemed completely miserable to be doing my nails and was rude and unfriendly. When he first took the brush out of the bottle, I told him I wanted a lighter color, and he IGNORED me and proceeded to do my nails with the color anyway. The manicure itself was pretty bad– lots of bubbles in the paint and he didn’t even paint the entire nail in some places. I am actually relieved to see it is finally peeling off…

Beyond disappointed! This place is close to home so I went a few times and the reason I stopped going was because the staff was very rude. I recently needed a quick manicure so I went back after several months and now remember why I left. Still very rude and yelled at me when I asked for the color black. I’m not sure what salon doesn’t carry this color! I agreed to another color and a day later it chipped! Normally I do shellac but needed a break… Def a cheaper than most place but quality and service are the worst. There are better salons within a mile of this place.

Called for apt. I arrived 10 mins early. Just wanted color change on hands and toes. Everything started fine. The more ppl walked the more he rushed. Then after I finished my hands he said he had another apt and had to wait 20 mins to change color on my toes.
I felt this was absolutely ridicules and rude.
They came out awful and staff can be extremely rude.
Dont feel comfortable here. id recommend seeking another salon.

I went on Friday night around 4:40 or so and the girl I had was at station 7 (if anyone from the salon reads these, they might be able to pin point this girl). SHE WAS TERRIBLE. We all know a mani (w/​Shellac) and a pedicure is NOT cheap. Not even joking, I was in and out of there in 40 minutes. So, I just spent $ 50 (without tip) for 40 minutes of service? Now that’s IS a joke.
First, she rushed me into findind a color. I like to take some time figuring out what color I want on my hands for the next 2 – 3 weeks! Then, she sped through my pedicure, harldy even touching my cuticles. A 2 minute massage, and BAM, Im finished.
Second, my nails. A minute in the water, a few clips here and there of the cuticles, and she was painting away. She did a nice hack job on my cuticles to boot.
I am not a picky person in the least bit. I will go to a nail salon if they show interest and take their time. The inside of this place looks great, hence the 2 stars.
This goes to show you how ONE person can ruin it for the rest. I won’t return to this place.

Not a fan of this place. Always get the look up & down. I asked a girl where she got her shirt and she told me with laughter and started speaking Chinese to the girl next to her. It gave me that awful~ they are talking about me feeling. Also another time I was there I got a pedi and the woman zipped threw it so fast I watched as she skipped over steps the lady next to me got! Her tip got lower.
So now I’m at the mall check out the store the shirt the girl had an it was expensive. Ding ding knew right then they were saying, I couldn’t afford it. I’m not going back here but want to just to wear that shirt!
**update I’m a glutton for punishment cuze they are open Sunday’s. I went again… I always get pedi’s and NEVER had a problem. I have a messed up toe from a accident. I always politely ask them not to scrub it. She nodded and I closed my eyes. I was quickly risen from relaxed state to find her clipping at my toe with those big ass clipper things! I have a skin graph! You never do that! She couldn’t understand why I was upset.
Update 2 months later my toe is still sore! And hurts!
Don’t bother with this place!

Exotic Nails is right down the street from my apartment, so I’ve been going here to get my nails done for a while now. The staff is friendly and they’ve always done a good job with my manicure and pedicure. There is sometimes a wait if you go on a busy night without an appointment, but I’ve never been turned away.
About $ 35 for a mani/​pedi — bring cash for your tip!

I had my nails done by Kathy. She was very nice and I thought did a good job. I had the gel polish by OPI.
Well, one of my nails chipped after a week. I went in to get it fixed and Kathy acted as if she never saw a broken nail before. She was really rude and accused me of cutting my nail. I said I did not cut it, what was the difference, I needed it fixed.
She fixed it, (of course I expected to pay, my nails break frequently) but with an attitude the whole time. She was not chatty, like the first time I had them done.
I will go back to the salon, because they have OPI, but will not give my business to Kathy.

They were super fast and gave me a great pedi and a perfect french design, little pricey but worth it.

I went to this salon yesterday for a mani-​pedi and I had the worst girl ever. The only reason I am giving 2 stars is because the salon seemed nice enough and the guy who said goodbye when I left seemed nice. The girl I had (table 5) was nasty! I will definitely be exploring other nail salons. There is no need to experience this rudeness! I am typically a good tipper but her personality and attitude was so bad, I could get out the door fast enough!

I like this nail salon because it’s close to my apartment and they did a good job. They still didn’t have a lot of the new colors and a pedi was $ 23 — but all in all I thought it was a good experience. and I’ll definitely be back since it’s right around the corner.

I love going to get my nails done here! they always are nice and actually remember me and what i’m up to. I’m actually going in a couple hours with my mom. We love going to get pedicures here where we can relax. Plus its super clean!!!

it’s your typical nail salon but this one is cleaner and bigger. they greet you by your first name and ask you the same questions you always get asked when you get a mani and pedi– «you have a boyfriend?» or they find something about you or on you to offer you a compliment– «i like your sweater.»
price is good and they do a good mani.
