Vicki Nails

Went in there to fix a broken acrylic nail. The owner was busy so another girl
Working there offered to take me and trust her because she didn’t seem like she did acrylic regularly. From the time she cut the fake nail to the time she put the actual acrylic on my nail I could tell it was all wrong. The owner came over only to layer another thick coat of acrylic on my nail. The layer was so thick and heavy it lifted from my actual nail! And dissolved the fake! It burned and didn’t feel right. Once the owner took me to her chair I stated the problem and said it would have to be taken off and redone. So she cut a big chunk off and put my nail to soak. She filed it down with the drill after 10 minutes and I had to soak again. This whole ordeal took almost 45 mins. I walked out. Never have I ever gone to a shop and had it take this long for ONE NAIL. I’ll trust my nail salon at the mall. So disappointed

I have been going to Ms. Vicki for years now. She is always friendly to my mom and I and takes care of us. We typically go on Mondays/​Tuesday for the $ 30 mani/​pedi combo. The TV is always on and we both feel relaxed when we leave.

I came here a few times trying to figure out if I like this place, seeing how I moved from the city and just trying to find my new permanent spot. Well the nail work was ok. I explained to her that I like a gel top coat, on separate occasions she ok but never did it even after I asked for it. «It takes too long». If I’m paying for sure service, I should get the service. Or v tell me up front you can’t do it and I’ll go else where– that simple. Nails chipped in 2 days, had to come back and she fixed it but doing a half a** job. Putting my gel top coat finally making it SUPER thick. Then I got my lip waxed and that was the final straw! They burned my lip! My skin was RED and was peeling days later. I couldn’t use cover up as it was burning the skin. it took 4 days before it started to heal. I called the shop to inform and her reaction was, «oh. Sorry.» That’s it?! No remorse no, offer of resolution… nothing. This place is unprofessional. I had better. This place won’t see my business again.

Nope, nope, nope.
I made an appointment for a simple manicure mid-​day on a Tuesday. I show up on time (actually, 5 min early) and am told I’ll have to wait 10 – 15 minutes. Hmmm… I made an appointment, right? After 20 minutes, I had had enough, so I Google-​mapped another nail-​salon, called them to see their availability for that moment, and left Vicki Nails to get my nails done perfectly at Luxury Nails (see my review for Luxury Nails).
Look, I can wait a few minutes if I’m a walk-​in, but NOT if I made an appointment. Time is valuable, and I’m not going to waste it on a cheap-​o nail salon.
Also, Vicki Nail salon had a heavy chemical odor, had a lousy (small) nail polish selection, and the place just seems a bit, how shall I put it… yuck.
The end.

Horrible place went there @ 10 and they said the other lady coming she was the only one I said ok 10 minute wait then it turned into a 45 min wait lady never came I left.

Paul (did my toes) &
Vicki (who did my nails) did an amazing
Job! I went by chance with a friend and as I was getting my nails done, I could see they definitely have a list of loyal clientele. The phone stayed ringing with ppl asking if they could come in, and at least three or four women walked in and one even said «I knew I was taking a chance with just coming in». I loved this place. I will most definite be going back.

My favorite place to go! Always great service! Vicki is the best. There is a guy that works there too and he is awesome! Great leg and hands massages!!!

This should receive 0 stars but I can’t give it 0 stars! Do not go here! My fiancé got her nails done here and the guy didn’t clean the nail tools he used after his previous customer. He walked in back with them and the bowl, filled up the bowl, and came right back with them to use on my fiancé. She asked Vicki where they are supposed to get the nail tools for each customer and she said the sanitizer. He did not!!! Do Not go there!

The prices here are very affordable but this salon uses very low quality supplies. The staff here is kind of rude. I came once for an acrylic manicure and Vicky cut me (on accident I suppose) with the drill and didn’t bother to say sorry. I should also add that the final product of my manicure was mediocre. She didn’t give me the shape I wanted but the polish job was okay. I wouldn’t really recommend this place but I guess if you’re on a tight budget it’s okay.

Great, prompt service and prices. Looking forward to returning.

Absolutely HORRIBLE!!!
I only came here because my usual salon, Gorgeous Nails (right across the street), is closed on Tuesdays and I was in desperate need of a mani pedi. So, my friend and I walk in and ask this woman who works there how much it would be for the both of us. $ 77. Okay, no big deal. So we sit down and they start my pedicure. The woman was rough with me, continued to gouge into my nail bed even though I told her to stop multiple times she would not listen. She asked me if I wanted the razor on the bottoms of my feet, I said no just the pumice stone. What does she do when I’m not looking? Pulls out the razor and starts on my feet. I had to raise my voice to get her to stop.
When it came time for my no chip the woman was too busy watching TV while she removed the nail polish and started painting. It took over an hour just for my nails. There was nail polish all over my cuticles and I had to ask her to clean it up because it looked so sloppy. She had to go back over multiple times because she was not paying attention to anything she was doing.
Finally when it came time to pay, she tells me the price is $ 97. I asked why, and she said she had misinformed me when I walked in. At this point I was so fed up I just paid and left. NO tips.
–Will never return!!! Ever!!! Go to «Gorgeous Nails» right across the street. They are AMAZING and do the best work. They’re also friendly unlike anyone at Vicky’s.

I’ve been going here (very seldomly) for several years, usually only when my preferred salons are busy and I need an emergency mani.
A few common trends amongst the times I’ve been to Vicki Nails:
–Vicki is not a very nice lady… she always has a scowl on her face, and is usually pretty abrasive/​harsh to walk-​ins when they are crowded. I’ve turned around and walked out several times just because of her attitude.
–Not enough color options for Shellac/​no chip manicures. C’mon, Vicki… Shellac is the new trend! Offer more color options!
–They are a little overpriced for the quality of the work… it seems like Vicki has her favorites/​regular customers and they get amazing service, but everyone else gets a quick service with no effort involved.

WORST SERVICE EVER!!! Asked for a no chip manicure and it was so sloppy! Had nail polish all around my cuticle and I thought they would have cleaned it up but didn’t…the owner Vicky has a terrible and rude attitude. I was about to pull my wallet and pay her even though I shouldn’t of, and she said «I need chair move»! Will NEVER go there again!!!

Best mani ever! It’s been four days and I don’t even have a single chip yet… looks like I just got my nails done this morning. I am beyond impressed. The service was also great, as they got my friend and I in immediately and got our services done together in a decent amount of time. The best part is that they are BYOB… great service, great results, completely affordable, wonderful location, and we got in some great girl talk over wine. I won’t be going anywhere else!

I will never be returning. I was a walk in and I had no problem waiting but I ended up waiting almost 2 hours. When someone finally was able to help me they had my hands soak for over 30 mins and still no one was able to help me. You think they would tell me how much longer I’ll have to wait, or at least say sorry, maybe offer me a deal… um no. Then it seemed like everyone was working there was too busy watching the TV and taking their sweet time. It is also expensive. They want $ 13 for a mani when I’m use of paying only 8.

I have been to Vicki Nails twice, and both have been good experiences! Low key, very friendly, and professional. The last time my associate was April, who I loved! Very knowledgable and professional. I even messed up my polish on the way into my car and she fixed it – couldn’t tell any difference! I love this place and will go back! Vicki Nail rocks!

I made an appointment over the phone. When I arrived, I saw a sign at the counter stating they don’t take credit cards, debit cards or checks. Um… WTF? I wish someone would’ve told me that over the phone so I could either come prepared with cash or not wasted my time.
