Cosmopolitan Nails-Downtown

Went in a week ago to get a shellac manicure and I have to say, I’m pretty happy with the job they did. 8 days later and there is no chipping or peeling and my nails look mostly good as new. For $ 30, Wing (I thiiiiiink that’s her name!) did a meticulous job on my cuticles. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the place isn’t as nice or clean as it should be. They really should update the inside and make it feel a little more relaxing.

Overpriced. Eyebrow, «deluxe» gel pedi, and gel mani came to $ 120 and took about 3hrs. Lynn had a bad attitude. Small selection of gel colors. Deluxe pedicure is a joke. Soak your feet in a plain tub of water, cuticle remover, and a glass of hot Chardonnay. Don’t ask for a refill. That’s an extra $ 5.
Also, I stubbed my toe wich caused it to bleed. I asked the man to give me alcohol on a cotton swab. Instead he wiped the blood of himself (with no gloves) and set the bloody cotton ball next to all the supplies instead of disposing it in the trashcan. I asked him for a bandaid and he asked me «why?» I said «to avoid infection» proceeds to speak profuse Vietnamese to Lynn. Will never return but I guess I’d give my nails 2 stars.

Best nail salon in downtown, and I’ve been to them all! I’ve been coming here to see Nguyen for the 10 or so years this salon has been open, and went to Linn for four years before. They take their time, do an excellent job, and it’s a friendly, family-​owned shop which I like to support. While they do take walk-​ins, Make an appointment if you can, as it’s mostly repeat-​client based :)

If I could give negative stars I would… Took 1 hour and 10 minutes for the deluxe pedicure. Then they stuck a fan by my feet to dry the polish. 1.5 hours later, my polish is still wet and all messed up… all for $ 45.00 (rip off) WILL NEVER GO BACK. I’m not even going to back to have them re-​do the polish. I’ll go to another salon.

This place is the worse to go! First off it was a puddle of water bedside the pedicure chair, they had no plans on cleaning it up. The guy that’s there did my pedicure so as he’s doing my pedicure I suggested that he should also get the rough spot but he tells me at the end of my pedicure that I he can’t give me a full pedicure unless I get a deluxe one! I was so pissed if I would’ve known that the regular (basic) pedicure would leave my feet hard I would’ve passed these horrible place by… Please stay away from this place!

My polish job was practically indestructible for 3 weeks! I was visiting from Dallas and was wearing sandals during a cold spell, I really only came in to soak my feet in hot water, but I was delighted to find out that after 3 weeks, my pedicure still looked amazing!

This place has the best pedicures. They take their time and are one of the only places that will use a scrapper on rough feet. I walk everywhere so I love that I can come here and leave with super soft feet.

This salon is not clean. The floor was dirty and the bathroom toilet was filthy. They do disinfect during your session though with tons of alcohol which I know for a fact because my tech tore up my hands and feet with nicks and cuts and I could feel the stinging of alcohol all over them. I left with one finger and one toe so banged up that they looked like they might get infected. Also, they will up-​sell you and not be forthcoming with the exact prices. My friend got the run-​around when she asked for a breakdown of the costs to understand the $ 115 total. The salon lady literally was stammering and I kid you not, drawing lines, arrows and circles on a piece of paper — everything except give the itemized total. It was really hilarious. I wish I had a photo of the piece of paper. It looked like art. Over all, the look of my french shellac nails does look very nice and she was very thorough with all the services. Unfortunately, the good does not outweigh the bad here. I cannot recommend this salon to others.

Will not come here again! Old salon, not very clean, can’t really understand the staff and they use illegal pedicure razors!

I will never go back here again. First of all you make an appt. and they never take you on time secondly I used to get re-​base and switched to shellac. When I switched I asked how much and they said $ 30 then $ 10 for the takeoff ($ 40 total without tip).
I thought this was high so I questioned it and they said yes. I went two times and they charged me $ 40 both times. I have since called three other nail salons in lodo and each is cheaper ($ 25, $ 32 and $ 35) the prices listed include takeoff. Now my guard was up so I called Cosmo nails and requested a price over the phone for Shellac the owner quoted me $ 30 and $ 5 for take off.
So in summary they ripped me off both times $ 5 extra each time plus I paid more in tip. In addition to this even if they didn’t rip me off in their own store and instead charged me $ 35 they quote on the phone they would still be the highest price around.
I will not tolerate thievery. It should be know I dealt direct with the owner and had been a bi-​monthly client for over three years. The person who did my nails and did the quoting on the phone was the owner Lynn.

So for the second time I’ve called to get in for a pedicure and been told to come over and we can get yiu right in. Both times I put into the chair, water drawm and sit there for 20 plus minutes till they can take me. The owner woman always lies. Walked out this time with Geert wet as they refused to give me a towel. I like the nail techs but the lady owner is to slimy to return and wait and wait then hounded for upgrades. Never again!

Absolutely horrible! Maybe things are done differently here, I’m from Chicago. However, taking a shellac manicure off with just a tool and a bowl of acetone seems like a waste of time. It took 35 minutes for her to simply remove my old manicure. And she was rude why I asked her why she wasn’t using a cotton ball and phone oil instead. Don’t go here.

I just had a pedicure at Cosmopolitan tonight and I had to write them a raving review. Lin (not sure I’m spelling it right, pronounce Lynn) spent an hour and 36 minutes transforming my feet back to baby condition. Never have I had a pedicure that left them feeling this way. You will not get this kind of detailed treatment anywhere else downtown. They do have nice add on’s if you need more exfoliation then normal but don’t treat you like you’re being punished when you decline like some of the other salons I have been to. Hands down, the best pedi I have ever had. I would however make an appointment because people were lined up waiting for her.

Would not recommend at all. Dirty, dishonest and poor customer service. I called ahead to get pricing for a full set of acrylics. Was told $ 25. Technician tried to sell me several extras I did not want. I very clearly declined. The only thing I asked for was to clean up cuticles which ended up being $ 15 (which I was fine with because, while I didn’t verify the pricing first, I did request this.)
At the end she tried to tell me I owed $ 80. Then it was $ 70. Then $ 65. I asked her which it was and how that was even possible and she told me it was because I asked for gels and claimed that she told me the price and I agreed to it. Completely false. (In fact I came here from another salon I passed a few blocks away that charged $ 60 for a full set and I wanted a basic no frills acrylic application for a decent price.) I politely but firmly asserted I had neither requested nor agreed to this and asked to speak to someone else in charge. They went back in forth, not in English, and the other woman proceeded to tell me she had no way of knowing who was being honest so I would have to pay.
Ended up with a ridiculously overpriced acrylic manicure, not to mention a bleeding right middle finger from where she cut my cuticle deep. Given the cleanliness of this place and the look of the boxes some of their tools are kept in, none too comforting. Not sure if this instance reflects a routine business practice or just a misunderstanding, but don’t care to find out.

Terrible shellac, started peeling in 2 days. Must be using a cheaper version or mixing it. Very rude customer service. Very dirty. No slippers. 2 of the techs were having a very loud and disturbing argument in their language. Left with a headache and uneven shellac color that started chipping.

Been going for YEARS. They do an amazing job with pedicures. Take their time, really work on your cuticles. The décor and cleanliness is minimal but I’m there to get a great pedicure! They are very friendly but sometimes it can take a while to get in. Prices are very fair too if not lower than average.

When my favorite place closed I had to find something that is not too far away. I picked Cosmopolitan. It is the hardest review for me because I can’t figure out if I liked them or not. I needed a mani-​pedi and made an appointment with them. There were not a lot of people and I got seated within minutes.
Pro:
— Did excellent job on my feet.
— I liked that 2 people worked on me at the same time. I had both mani and pedi done without wasting any time.
— Prices are very compatable.
— Location
Cons:
— Not very clean
— I am used to people wearing medical gloves while working on my feet or washing the tub
— When I needed to wash my hands they didn’t provide flip-​flops like they do in other salons. I had to wobble on tiles and carpet after getting out of soapy water. totally unsafe!
— While I was getting pedi an employee came in, warmed up her breakfast and was eating right in front of me. Not very professional.
— Non-​stop chitchatting. I am a foreigner myself and a business owner. We try to speak only English in front of the customers. These ladies were speaking Vietnamese (I think) without paying attention to customers. When needed they did ask questions in good English so I don’t think there was any language barrier, just very unattentive.
— I came for a basic mani/​pedi but they tried to upsell to shellac and deluxe pedicure. I agreed on shellac but not deluxe pedi.
I will see if I will go back in 2 weeks. I love the way my hands and feet feel but too many cons would make me think twice about going back.

They did a good enough job in the end, but the atmosphere was lacking to say the least (unless charmingly not-​quite-​clean is trendy now). The woman who did my nails really attempted to up-​sell, which I didn’t appreciate. Also, I’ve never had the soles of my feet feel pain before during a pedicure, but the man who filed my feet really went to town on my soles. For the price ($ 65 gel French mani and regular pedi), I’ll try somewhere else if I’m in town next time.

They did a great job on my nails! Highly recommend this shop for conference goers — nice and close!

Ok, seriously this is the best nail shop in Denver! All the girls do an amazing job. You might be in here for a lengthy time but its worth it. My cuticles on both my feet and hands have never looked this good! They even get all the hangnails! And the bottom of your feet?!! They will seriously feel like baby’s feet. They scrub it to the bone. Lol. Ok well not litteraly but its that good.
The nail polish selection is not big, I agree with the other reviewer but they have a nice little selection you can still choose from. I always bring my own just because I dont like to share with others.
Me and my entire family and that includes my dad have been coming here for 3 years now. I moved to chicago but I always come back here once a month just to get a pedicure and a manicure (and thank goodness for being a flight attendant I can do that). Because I have been to many other places in different states and they never do as good job as this wonderful place. My favorite girl is Wynn. But I promise that the other girls are just as good.
The prices for how good they are, are great. Manicure is $ 15, Pedicure is $ 25 but I always get a combo and I pay $ 35 for mani and pedi. And I tip her $ 15 bucks.
This place is a must!
They are always busy with their clients who make appointments bc everyone comes back but walk-​ins are also welcome.
I LOVE THIS PLACE!
