Nails 07

Have had good and quick service here. Place is clean and inviting. A buck or more expensive than other places but overall a good experience.

The one and only time I will go to this place the shellack manicure that is suppose to last two weeks lasted 4 days!!! They must weaken their polishes. I never had a pedicure there but I don’t plan on returning. Sad because it is very nice inside and a great location.

Need to go to Birmingham nails to fix what they did. Not personable at all! No hand massage… Just globbed some lotion on. I don’t think she even got 20% of my cuticle.

After seeing Nails 07 selected as «Best Nails in Detroit» by Allure magazine, I had to check this place out for myself.
Pedicure: 5 stars!
The bowls are clean sinks, not jet-​tubs. The technician meticulously worked on any rough spots, and finished with a flawless polish application. Two weeks later, my toes still look salon fabulous!
Manicure: 2 stars :-(
I opted for a gel manicure, which usually easily lasts me two weeks. Even with the light pink that I selected, the application was streaky. After only one week, the tips were already looking worn. Very disappointing!
Overall, I would return for a pedicure, but will likely skip the manicure.
Things to know:
You do not need an appointment; walk-​ins welcome.
Cash tips ONLY!

I go to the sister location in Royal Oak normally and it has been great. Since I was in the area I stopped into this one. This location is small and I did not find anyone to be very friendly. The manicure and pedicure were great — always lasting longer than any other nail salon in the area, but this location charged me MORE than their Royal Oak location. I even asked about it and she said it’s just more. Because of customer service, space, and charging more, I won’t be back. However if that stuff isn’t important to you, they do a great job on nails for sure.

They probably changed their name hoping no one would notice that they’re still offering the same bad service as when they were called Nails 555. I walked in, asked how much for a shellac manicure, lady said $ 35, I say ok. She listens while I call another salon to tell them to take me off their wait list because Ive just found a place to get a manicure at and I won’t be returning to see them for my manicure. …its 430 at this point and nail salons in the area close at 5 on Saturdays… Anyways, after hearing me cancel my spot on the waiting list at the other place, the lady says …“actually we charge 40 for a shellac manicure”…whu!!! Noooo way. Nooow you charge 40?! Soooo wrong. She took advantage of me once she heard me cancel my spot on the waiting list at the other nail salon, knowing it would be hard for me to find anywhere else to go at that hour on a Saturday and increased her price. Don’t go to Nails 07 or Nails 555 or whatever they’re calling themselves these days. You’re better off elsewhere. Needless to say, I did leave when she tried to increase her price like she did and I ended up finding a much better place just down the street on Maple in the strip plaza beside Kroger barely East of Woodward.

The worst manicure I’ve have had!!! I gave them 3 chances (against my better judgement) and they just got worse w each visit. I advise everyone to never go here! They r more expensive n use the cheapest products and they really have no idea how to give a decent manicure.

Why I won’t be going back:
— Limited nail polish color selection: OPI and Essie colors only, many duplicates of the same colors, especially reds
— Rushed service
— No nail dryer
— Unsure of which brand base coat and top coat they use, would prefer 5-​free polishes
— Mani costs $ 18: too expensive for service that only lasted me 4 days
Positives
— No waiting
— Complimentary tea
— Complimentary 1 minute hand massage

I got a gift card for my birthday so I went today. I booked a reservation online last week, and put which type of pedi I wanted (rejuvenating $ 54) and that I wanted toes waxed ($ 12). Those prices were listed on the website. I got no confirmation of my appointment, so I called today to confirm. She said she couldn’t check now, but to come in and I could get my pedi. I walked in and was directed back to the pedi area (didn’t pick polish because I wanted a french). The website notes the following:
Guests at Nails 07 enjoy the ultimate therapy for sore, tired feet with foot baths in granite bowls that have no jets, for the top benefits of no bacteria. Cleanliness and perfection are constantly the goal in this updated salon that offers a chemical-​free atmosphere. They use hospital grade Auto Cleave, which is used to sterilize instruments in hospitals to clean their own tools. While relaxing in chairs that are soft and shaped like a chair in your family room instead of a typical pedicure chair, the guests at Nails 07 often relax to the point of falling asleep.
First, the chairs, while comfy, are not chairs you could fall asleep in, and I miss the massage option. Other reviewers talk about going the a massage chair in another room while their pedis dried — that must’ve been only available in 2009 – 2010 because it certainly wasn’t offered this time. Second the «granite bowls» are not granite at all. The bowls are white porcelain bowls/​sinks. With no jets. Maybe no jets means less bacteria, but I definitely missed the jets. Soaking in warm water that cools quickly wasn’t that great. Finally cleanliness — I watched 2 nail techs clean the bowls after finishing their clients. They sprayed some Lysol spray (in a bottle like Fantastic) in the bowl and immediately rinsed with the spray hose and dried out the bowl with a towel they just used on the client, then gathered up the towels and took them to the back. I don’t think that disinfected the bowl one little bit. I actually wondered if that’s how they cleaned when the health department was inspecting them. I think not. I can’t attest to the autoclave of the instruments. I didn’t see that at all.
While towards the end, but not finished yet, my tech (Tina) went and got my bill and set it on my lap (in a restaurant-​type folder). Inside the folder it said in several places to use cash only for a tip. Great — that would have been nice to know beforehand. I don’t keep cash on me and had not even a dollar. Ended up having to walk across the street to CVS and pay a $ 3 fee to make a withdrawal. Tina did a nice job on my toes and feet, but never asked what type of pedi I wanted (she gave me the cheapest basic one) and just started working on me. Also, she did speak some very broken English, but the tech working next to me didn’t speak English at all. All the tech spoke to each other in a foreign language.
I will go again to use the rest of my gift card, but wouldn’t go again after that.

Used to be my favorite, but last time, my mani pedi was a bit rushed & not that good. Nail shaping was off & when I asked for square she did round. Will give it another try, but not as good as it used to be. :(

I will stick with Nails 07 in Royal Oak from now on!
I decided to try the one in Birmingham for a mani/​pedi I needed for a wedding I was in… I didn’t notice till I got home because I didn’t think I“d need to look but the woman who did my pedicure had gotten polish not only on my nails but on the tips of my toes as well. Not to mention during my entire pedicure her and another woman working there were laughing at another customer who had decided to relax and close her eyes for a bit. Then when that same woman filed my finger nails she butchered them, normally I like my nails squared off, she didn’t even ask she just did them how she wanted… some were square, some were rounded and some were rounded on one corner and squared on the other. Luckily someone else was called in to do the gel polish the only problem with that I had was one of my nails had a glob of nail polish on it which dried and looked like a growth coming out of my nail. I paid wayyyy to much to have an experience like this. I will not go back to this location!

This salon is top notch… prices are high but the quality and the design of the shop more than make up for it. And they’re friendly too. Only place I’d go!

Lived in birmingham for the last past 5 years never knew this place was here! Super nice! They speak English! Their prices are little out of wack because its a chop shop not Margot’s– but whatever it was clean and they were nice that’s all that matters! When I’m in town this will totally be my go to place!

Took my mom and grandmother here to treat them to a mother’s day manicures.
They were very nice to all of us, but the the color selection felt really limited and the technician rushed through my mani — my cuticles started fraying and the paint started chipping a total of 2 days later.
Totally fine. But fine, at best.

Nails 07 is my go to place to have my nails done. Its conveniently located right on Old Woodward (pay the meter, you’ll be ticketed — I know from experience) nestled in by 555 so all you yogis know exactly where its located ;).
Nails 07 is pricey, compared to most places, but I happily pay extra because its worth it. First of all, I have yet to wait for a service there — they’re usually waiting for me to pick a color. Speaking of color, they have the most up to date polishes and they’re …*gasp*…ORGANIZED! The techniques they use are above par: lemon water for soaking, sofa chairs for pedis, and real attention to detail at all times.
One of Nails 07’s biggest selling points, for me, was their professionalism. Everything from the atmosphere to the way you pay your bill is catered to the customer. It’s calm, clean, quiet, and all around nice. When youre used to nail salons with,“10 minute” waits (that are never just 10 minutes), gossipy staff, and being rushed by your manicurist, Nails 07 is a total breath of fresh air.
Pay the little bit extra and enjoy.

Fantastic service and technique! Had French pedi and French Shellac mani so not easy but they rocked it!

I absolutely adore this gorgeous and modern salon. Not only is it pretty and I like to be in pretty places when I am getting pretty, but it’s calm and quiet.
I got a mani/​pedi and I do NOT have nice feet but the girl was very kind, she kind of knew it was my first pedi as I was so nervous to take my socks off. She got right to work scrubbing and clipping away! She tried really ahrd to make me feel comfortable and after lots of giggling and inside jokes with my friend — I looked down and had perfectly pretty feet! Something I have NEVER had before.
I followed up with a french manicure version of my cute gold toes. I love that they have a manicure BAR so you can sit and gossip with your bestie to pass the drying time. The nail tech was diligent and extremely sweet.
Customer service here is top notch! No appointment needed we got right in!
My mani lasted so long I got bored and had to get a polish change. My pedi has lasted for about 2 weeks and still looks super cute!
I don’t think any other nail salon will live up to Nails 07 — I’ve already been disappointed with the quality of work at other places… I’ll be going back forever — they are now stuck with me!

I’m pretty sure that I got a nail infection here … which is sad because I liked how the owner did my nails …
nobody else is good and they especially butcher cuticles…

First time discovering this place, open on the day after Thanksgiving, plus! It was fairly crowded even though we called in advance to see if we needed to make reservations– they said it was ok just to walk-​in. They must have not anticipated a rush before lunch. Its a nice lay out with a manicure bar which allows people to chat amongst themselves (rather then individual tables. The little island in the middle has a display of all the colors available. Some of the newer lines of OPI were up (Burlesque), not bad. The pedi seats are comfortable arm chairs, a little too big for those with not super long legs. The shallow basin water gets cold quick though if they make you wait to long. The hot soak is followed by an exfoliating scrub, a minty leg massage, a pumice foot scrub, a hot towel wrap and of course the pedicure. Tenille did a great job paying close attention to her work and its detail. Nice touch. They give you little flipflops and toe seperators to walk around in after its done. They escort you and your stuff to the mssage chair, give you a bag for your shoes and offer some hot tea to drink. Perfect. Great way to spend some time with the girls.
Yes there’s metered parking on the street, The price is a little steep, but nice services.

Nice nail salon right off of downtown Birmingham. They have a great selection of OPI and Essie polishes and they even do the new Shellac manicure. They are a bit higher than other nail salons in the area but the are a lot cleaner and the polish is always perfect so its worth it.
Only down side is that with the pedicure. I like to have a super duper scrub with mine, but they still do a nice job.
