L’Amour Nails

I have had nothing but amazing service here and always leave loving my nails. I am constantly showing pictures from Pinterest and that are able to copy the design or even improve it.

I know this place stays busy. A lot of my friends don’t really like it much. I know what girls do a great gel manicure. Pedicures are ok. I usually just get a toe polish change. I like that they have a variety of colors. They offer you wine or soda or water. They are nice but not always attentive. It just depends i guess. But i keep going. I like my nails.

What a waste of money. For $ 33 I expected a great pedicure but instead got one that I could have done myself at home. The employee barely filed my nails and pumiced my feet for all of about 10 seconds. On top of this, the staff is more than obnoxious. When I walked in, the nail stations were full and I was greeted by someone but no one even looked my way and I had no idea where to direct my response. While having my service done I had to listen to the employee next to me talk nonstop about a family issue while her client politely chimed in a lot of «uh huhs» and «ya’s». She seemed like she could’ve used some peace and quiet as well. After the main portion of my pedicure, the employee left without a word and someone else came to paint my nails. Once finished, I was told to wait and let them dry but no one came to check on me. After 15 minutes I decided to leave. I walked to the front to pay and someone who seemed like she might be the owner called for the girl who had done the pedicure. She never came to the front even though it was clear that she knew I was waiting because she yelled out how much I owed, so after a few minutes of waiting, someone else came to run my credit card. There was no apology for the wait or even a thank you. I rarely write reviews, but I was so offended by their lack of just common courtesy that I had to.

Wow I just had the worst experience at this joint and I had to walk out due to how rude the owner treated me in a store full of customers. I originally arrived at 1 pm but noticed they were pretty busy so asked to make an appt. for 45 minutes later since I had a few things to do. I walked in a few minutes before the appointment and the owner asked me to pick a color. I did so and was just standing around because I did not want to sit. Ten minutes after the appt time she told me to sit again and I asked her how much longer. After some eye rolling and disgusted looks she told me «the chair will be ready when it’s ready so SIT down». A few more rude words were shared beyond that and I was appalled that someone would treat me that way and just left. Wow wow wow. Good luck if you go there. That was quite the experience. I noticed several similar experiences in the hidden comments so seems par for the course.

Awesome gel manicure! I had no problem worth anyone being rude to me, like previous posts mentioned. Shannon did my manicure and did an awesome job. Very thorough and attentive to detail. I’ve bounced around several places in the area trying to find the longest lasting gel manicure and this is it!

The only reason this place is getting 3 stars is because my no chip lasted 3 weeks and still looked really good. I walked in with my mother in law on a Saturday afternoon for 2 manicures — 1 no chip and 1 regular — with no appointment. We didn’t wait long but the nails stations were full. The staff was rude and made me feel very uncomfortable. It was a plus that they had staff that wasn’t Asian so there was some English mixed into the chatter. The topics of conversation were very ‘adult’ and there were children in the area. Someone’s fertility and weekend (evening) plans to conceive are not things I care to listen to. The overall atmosphere of the place didn’t make me want to return — although the service they provided was excellent.
My no chip, French manicure was $ 50.

It took me a long time to find the perfect place to get my nails done — Lamore nails is the best! They do such a great job on my nails and always add a fun detail of glitter or a design. They offer complimentary refreshments and really make the experience relaxing. Their customer service is excellent! I feel like they truly appreciate me as a customer and it keeps me coming back over and over. I’ll never go anywhere else to get my nails done!

I couldn’t be happier with my mani and pedi I got here before vacation. My nails don’t ever stay polished and so far it’s 8 days!!!

The ONLY reason they get 2 stars is because their gel manicure stays on longer than any other manicure I’ve ever had. Although its over priced and they do not massage, this is the only reason I continue going here.
Their customer service is TERRIBLE. Like others have noted, they are disrespectful to customers and coworkers, extremely rude and obnoxious — especially Tara! Almost to the point of being racist…
I would never come here for a pedicure because they do not pay attention to you and they try to get as many customers at once to make more money, I over heard one say today.

I have been going to L’Amour Nails for over two years. I’ve gotten manicures, pedicures, and gel polish there. The first time I went was before my sister’s wedding — they let us bring booze and snacks in, and were very accommodating — we had 7 people getting both pedis and manis. Since that time, I’ve really only received gel nail polish, which I love — not quite the commitment of fake nails, but they stay on perfectly until I ultimately pick them off after about 3 weeks. The way gels work is they paint what looks like regular polish on your nail, then have you stick your hand in a little UV light thing to «bake» the nails on. Once you’re done, they are completely dried, no need to be careful with your keys or arriving home to find the nail polish has gotten all smooshed. Anyways, after getting gel nails done at a few other places around the area, L’Amour is by far the best. They also have the best color selections I’ve seen anywhere… I would say they have over 50 colors to choose from (can also do french manicure, which looks super natural and stays on even longer) — other places I’ve been where they offer gel polish, they’ve only had 10 or so colors. The gels run about $ 25 — $ 40, with a french manicure being a little more expensive. Staff is pretty friendly, and as long as you pick the right time (not right before Homecoming, etc) the wait isn’t usually too long.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!!
Rude!
Obnoxious!
Disrespectful!
Horrible!!!
I used to go to a L’Amour Nails in Hawaii and they were so awesome. So when I seem they had one in Peoria I was super happy.
I haven’t even gone and I have made up my mind that I’ll never go. I called and made a appt which was smooth. Then I called the next day because my sister wanted to go. I asked the lady if it was possible to fit another person at my appt time. She said it was fine. I told her my sister wanted a Gel Polish Change for both feet and hands. The lady I spoke to asked why I wanted a Gel Polish Change on her feet. I told her «because she does?» Then she kept asking, «but why? We don’t recommend that because of fungus…» I told her we were paying her for service and asked why she was questioning it. She then began to say if I want a Gel Polish Change it’ll cost me $ 40 just for that. Are you kiddin me?! Do you want money or not?

Well, I learned my lesson to plan ahead. My regular nail spot had no openings this afternoon, so I checked reviews and L’Amour Nails seemed to sound good. I will never go back. First, they don’t give any hand massage with their no chip manicure, but they don’t tell you this — so I’m not really sure why this manicure costs 70% more than a regular manicure when other places include the massage and it costs 25% more. I also had to tell her 3 times that I want my nails rounded instead of square and she argued with me that they looked better square. My gel polish is on the outsides of my nails so as it grows out, it will peel easier. I have had a better manicure doing it myself with the gel polish I purchased at Sally Beauty. Second, there is a big sign that hot stone massage is free «with pedicure». They don’t tell you until it’s over and you ask that it is only with their more expensive pedicures — but the sign doesn’t say that. And I have the opposite problem with my pedicure polish — it doesn’t cover my whole nail, so it looks lopsided on some nails. They have 2 TV’s but they were showing basketball on one and golf on the other — really??? The place was a mess — towels thrown everywhere and no on seeming to want to clean them up. The only good thing was the massage chair — HOWEVER, when they do a combo manicure/​pedicure, they put a TV tray in your lap to do the manicure, so you can’t really use the massage chair because it shakes the TV tray all over. Overall, not a good experience at all.

So far downhill. Don’t waste your time.
