Contempo Nails

Worst manicure I’ve ever had. I would never go back. Polish all over my cuticles and hardly any top coat. Manicurist only spent 5 minutes Utes from start to finish and that included taking my Payment. Very disappointing and expensive as well

The gentleman who did my manicure was so rude to me and scoffed when I asked him to even out the filing. He barely swept the nail file by my nails. It took all of 10 min for a full manicure and there is paint on my fingers and cuticles like I’m in Jr. High. I would have rather had a martini for $ 14 dollars. My mom also had a manicure and hers is worse than mine. Paint on her fingers as well and a terrible file job. The time and attention they spend on the manicure is as though we are an inconvenience to them. I would highly
discourage you from spending your money here, go to the bar instead.

Do not go here unless you want pain and an infection. I was cut 3 times on my foot with what could have been dirty utensils, as I did not see them take it out of the sanitizer. I told the man he rubbed off my skin with his pumice stone and he said no he didn’t and put cold water on my foot, then stuck it back in the hot water. I Unilocaled in pain once as he was trimming my toenails and told him to stop because he was hurting me. The guy painting my fingernails took all of 5 minutes and it looks terrible. I would have asked for him to redo it but I couldn’t wait to get out of there to clean up my wounds. I’m not sure how this place hasn’t been shut down by the BBB or health department. Go somewhere else!

Wow. I stopped here because I ran into whole foods for something. I though why not? Mistake. I had a manicure and pedicure. The manicure lasted 5 minutes tops. They almost refused to do it bc I only wanted strengthener on, not color or gel. They actually laughed at me. The nails were filed unevenly, and no dead skin was taken off. My nails looked worse than when I came in. I finally had to ask for a file to fix them. Then I asked them to get the dead skin off. I was told it was my problem bc my hands were dry. Huh??? My pedicure was mediocre as well. Same issues. No removal of the dead skin on the sides of the nails and it was all done in 10 minutes. The polish was put on sloppily and the topcoat only covers part of the nail. What a disappointment and nowhere near worth the $ 35.

I do not like to write a bad review about anyone. I do my best to limit my feedback to positive experiences. I am making an exception here because this was a particularly negative experience.
The older man who provided my manicure was not friendly and cut my cuticles too close; three of my fingers were bleeding, swollen and extremely sore for days afterward. He was not apologetic for hurting me and had a scowl on his face the entire time.
The polish was flaking within two days. I do not recommend this salon to anyone who is looking for a quality nail salon.
While there may be nice people working in this salon who may provide excellent services, the person who helped me was not one of these people.

My husband and I were shopping in the area, and I needed a touch up on my gel manicure for an upcoming vacation and chose to try this place out to compare to my other spot. I was greeted swiftly by tammy (I think that was her name) and was asked what I wanted. I told her gel and she started asking all these questions, saying what I actually already had on was shellac, not gel. I was confused, and noticing my lack of understanding, kindly said we will do gel and had me choose some color while I waited. They didn’t have tons of options, but ultimately I made my husband choose one for me. When she got me back, she soaked my nails for me and we waited fifteen minutes to weaken the gel. She checked on me again and started to scrape the old gel off with her fingernails. I don’t know if it is my lack of experience on gel removal, but this grossed me out. All I kept thinking was please don’t scratch me, and I personally hate the feeling of other nails on me. Gaaahh.
She let me soak for another 5 minutes and mike, a different tech, moved me to his table. He did the nail scratching thing (ugh) and cleaned up everything. He didn’t speak much, but their professionalism was much better than my other spot. Anyways, he redid my gel the same way as my previous place, so I know it’s actually gel I had previously after all, and I feel the right hand looks better than my left. My left hand he didn’t paint all the way down on my nail bed, which I don’t like. They look decent for the most part, but I feel like there could be a tad more accuracy. They know their locals well, which is cool, but didn’t impress me enough to bring me back.

I love this place. I’ve been going here my whole life because I am almost always satisfied with my nails.
I strongly recommend getting waxing done elsewhere because this place double dips.

Tammy does the best brow wax and I wouldn’t trust anybody else to do it. Sy also takes care of me at Contempo and has always done a spectacular job taking care of my manicures and pedicures. I would recommend the contempo manicure and pedicure.

Glad they were able to take our walk in right away, a plus. But the quality of our pedis was less then expected. I was able to get a new pink & white and it was better.

I was in a rush to get a last minute mani/​pedi and this is the closest salon to my house. I walked in and they were able to take me right away which was nice. Overall, I’m just somewhat satisfied. I don’t feel like they took the time to really give me a quality service it was more like get in and get out. I’m not thrilled with the quality of my paint job because it kind of looks like I did them myself. I have some polish on my skin and I chose a very deep red color so it’s kind of noticeable. Overall, I think next time I’ll drive down the road to the next salon for a 5 star experience.
I forgot to mention the massage chair I say in had broken controls so no massage for me! Oh! And there’s barely any nail colors to choose from. Pretty disappointing.

The greeter was the best part of this experience.
My mani/​pedi experience was awful. The manicure was done at the pedicure bowl and was done without water. When I asked the response was everyone does it that way. And, mediocre at best.
I think the business model is to put the salon next to whole food to draw wealthy clients but the service is awful. No color variety, all lotions are water based.

One of my favorite nail salons in the Denver area and trust me, I’ve been to many! I see some negative reviews but I’ve never left disappointed. They are open until 7 PM which is nice. The staff are all very pleasant, I always see Sy but everyone knows my name. I went in late once right before a trip and they still got me in and did a last min brow wax which was super nice. Very reasonably priced, never seems to be a long wait but I usually make appointments. I get gel rebases and sometimes shellac polish-​They have an abundance of color choices. They also have affordable brow waxing and they do tinting as well but I haven’t tried it… yet! Highly recommend!

After my mani pedi experience I can’t recommend this place. I paid extra for the «spa» pedicure… though I am not sure what was actually added on to make it worth the extra cost because it seemed very basic.
Very few polish colors… They all looked very old.
Manicure:
1. They did my pedicure and manicure at the same time (fine to save time, but not if quality is compromised)
2. I had pale pink nail polish on some of my fingernails and even after I asked two times she did not remove it before polishing
3. My once long nails are now stubs
4. Polish application was sloppy– all over my cuticles and missing on spots on my nail.
Pedicure:
1. The lady was nice who did the pedicure
2. My toe nails are now a mix of round and square
3. After painting my base coat she bumped it with her hand my mistake. She went to paint over the messy nail and I had to ask her to redo it.
4. Polish application was also sloppy– polish on my cuticles, streaks, bumps…
Very disappointed. Even after trying to paint another coat and top coat myself (I have been doing my own nails for years) they were a disaster. The employees were nice, but careless. There are tons of nail salons in the area– try a different place.

I just needed a quick pedicure before going on a trip. They got me right in and Michael, the nail tech, did a very good job. He was thorough and efficient and didn’t cut me which I greatly appreciate. I liked them and I would definitely go here again.

A guy did my nails. I don’t remember his name but he literally forgot to put a second coat on one of my pinkys.

I really wish I would have read ALL of the reviews before going on this place. I just got a rebase done for my wedding on Saturday, I went from blue to white tips. The nails are the worst I have ever had. First, she didn’t even take all the blue off, So i have blue underneath that shows through the white. Second, the dremmel went down between my nail and my nail bed, I came home and had blood underneath my nails. Third, they are just uneven, wavy and poorly done. Needless to say, I will not be back, and will find someone to fix my nails before my big day.
Oh, the people were pleasant, however…

I really loved going to this salon, because they’re friendly, cleanliness and give very good manicure and pedicure. They offered a shellac manicure and it last for more than 2 weeks. I talked about them all the time when my friend’s ask me, where I get my nails done?

Go here every couple of month for pedi/​mani for a few years. Quality depends on the tech you get. Best I’ve had for pedicure is a guy called Cy. He follows my instructions on straight across trimming for the big toes so I don’t get ingrown nails. Hannah is also good for pedicure and manicure. They do mani while you are in the pedicure chair which is good if you are in a rush, but the mani quality suffers a bit. You can specify at sign in to get the mani before/​after the pedicure. Pedicure lasts 2 – 3 months, standard manicure on natural nails about 4 days. I continue to go here for the UV light/​fan dryers that speed drying & polish set. Two cycles and I’m good to go without wrecking my new polish & without inhaling a lot of chemicals. Walk-​ins welcome, but make appt. if you want a specific tech.

They have a good tech, her name is Hannah… It’s a bit tricky because some of the nail techs I’ve had here have been sloppy. Hannah is a perfectionist and very good at paying attention to detail. I say, if you don’t know the tech you’re taking a risk. The pedis are okay but not very good unless you’re getting one of the up-​selling ones. They don’t spend a lot of time on you unless you spend a little more money! Oh well.

They give awesome pedicures and great massages with it (feet/​legs). On the other hand, everytime I have gone in to get my nails done (acrylics), they do a HORRIBLE job. The selection of nail color is pathetic. I now only go for the pedi.
