High Tech Nails

Clean, basic nail salon. They did a good job with my walk-​in polish change. The chemicals in the air, however, were so strong I almost had to go outside for air. I wouldn’t have lasted for a full service. If they fix the ventilation problem, I would give them another star. Not sure why they’re getting $$$$ — their prices are in alignment with other salons I’ve been to.

I have been to this salon numerous times whenever I am in town, and I always left feeling happy and satisfied with the overall service. Tiffany usually does my nails, but I occasionally get Tommy when Tiffany is off. They are both excellent, have many years of experiences, and super friendly. Tommy, however, can be a comedian if you really talk to him. He may sound abrupt and rude if you first speak with him, but he just loves to joke around and makes you laugh when you are there as if you are a friend of his. I love this vibe since you don’t get the usual Asian shops where the technicians only talk among themselves in their language.
Their shop was recently renovated and reopened back in April. It looks completely different… new spa chairs and tables, layout is different, and more up-​to-​date look.
Must visit spot and I’m definitely coming back.

Twice I had a really good experience here. Tommy got me in quickly both times. Once, when they were really busy he let me soak my feet in the massage chair until they could get to me. He is friendly and conversational, a comedian of sorts. They are on the spendy side for nails around town. You can get it cheaper at Nailtoepia downtown or Foxy Nails. Tommy is the only tech, though, that has wrapped my nails in tin foil to take off the previous coat of gel polish AND the only tech that wrapped my newly painted toes (not gel) in saran wrap since it was winter and I had boots on. I was impressed with both techniques, because most places let you walk outside with those flip flops that fall off and/​or sit you down with a bowl of nail polish remover with a towel on top, which I’m pretty sure is not good for your hands and body as it absorbs on your skin AND it wreaks to high heavan. The tin foil and saran wrap tricks are sweet! It shows that he knows what he’d doing and thinking ahead. I go to Nailtoepia now because they are cheaper and closer to where I live, but I’d go back to Tommy if Nailtoepia wasn’t around.

Abusive client service… Exorbitant prices. Salon is always empty… Now we know why.

Nail tech was very rough, no massage, file job was terrible, cut nails way too short (I will take responsibility for that as I should have been paying closer attention), and they charged WAY more than any other salon I’ve ever been to (referring to the salon I normally go to in Whitefish AND the salon I visit while conducting business in the Los Angeles area). Only reason I didn’t give them 1 star is they have longer hours.
