Love going to Dena's Nails & Spa. They all do really good work & all free handed, which is super super impressive. Prices are on point as well. I'm always getting compliments on my nails, and they always ask where I get them done. I highly recommend Lynn & Jenny, they are both phenomenal.

Just went to get my nails done yesterday and the older lady doing them is extremely rude. Acted like I was stupid, rushed through my nails, and was smacking my hand because SHE turned it the wrong way. My nails look terrible, there’s bubbles in the acrylic. They are crooked, and so thick they just look awful. I made the appointment a week in advance, and they rushed ME but not the walk ins. Also huge chunks of acrylics left under my nails too. It was 9:30 on a Saturday they barley had people. Absolutely ridiculous and a waste of money. I’ve been a stay at home mom for 2 years so haven’t gotten my nails done and forget shape names. She laugh and started talking in a different language to the person next to her like I’m stupid and don’t know it was about me. Sad this is a job you chose to do and you treat and do nails like complete trash. And yes that’s blood where she cut my skin because she put the nail on wrong.

I’d give 0 stars if possible. Worst pedicure ever. My toes look like a 3 year old was the technician. I paid 40 for the lavender pedicure. It was the quickest pedicure ever also, 20 minutes. 1 coat of polish. Why did I pay for an upgrade? I will be sure to tell all my friends how horrible this was.

An amazing experience! Nancy is fantastic, she gives the best pedicure ever. I had someone else for my manicure right before I went on vacation & it was chipping the next day. I didn't have time to go in before I left. They took care of it when I got back though!

They charged me $5 more for my 7 year olds basic pedicure yesterday than they did in January of this year. When I asked why, I was told "the little girl was 11, she charge $25". Well, I was asked by the lady doing my pedicure how old she is, I said '7, 8 next month". Yup my daughter is tall for her age, etc. But don't call me a liar, which is what I feel has happened.

My Girl gets her nails done twice a month here.
Always nice, Always friendly, Always fair priced and easy to communicate with what ya want. Dena is awesome and easy going and if they're super busy they will try and accommodate the walks ins. but due to the high demand for there excellent work sometimes they have to be realistic and ask if you can come back..... they have an appointment schedule for a reason to those who have complained in past.... I highly recommend this amazing place ...much love to all the amazing staff

I wish there was a less-than-one-star option. I went there last April for a gel mani; All I got was a sloppy messy gel, no mani, and a few days later my nails started lifting. After removing the gel (which was hard as concrete), my nails were yellow with black and white streaks underneath which I thought was a fungus; turns out it was not a fungus but most likely a horrible reaction to some kind of chemical they must used in their products. I'm now under a doctors care because the skin under and around my nails is calloused, cracking, peeling, and bleeding. This has been happening for 6 months now; it's very tender and painful, and I also have some numbness and tingling in my fingertips. Now I've found a wonderful licensed nail tech who has been in business for 28 years, and she and my doctor are helping me get my nails back to a healthy state (as healthy as they can be now. I'm hoping they aren't permanently deformed). I was even told by the professionals that it looked like there were actually chemical burns in the nail beds. DO your RESEARCH about these chemicals before going to ANY walk-in salon and DON"T make the MISTAKE I made!! And to the manager at this salon, please do not offer to "make things right" because I will never be back for any services there, and there is NOTHING you can do to make it right. This has been a traumatizing experience. The picture I included was taken 6 months after this all started..... it was much worse but too embarrassing to share.

UPDATE: Almost a year after the "manicure" that ruined my hands, and this is what they still look like.
