Sky Nails

This was the worst FILL I’ve ever had in my life! My nails look awful. I will never go there again. My coworkers laughed at how bad my nails look.

These people are complete scam artists, and don’t ever believe the price they advertise is the price they’ll ask you to pay in the end.
I went in for a simple back fill, and a pedicure, and found myself spending two excruciating hours listening to the man heading the store be so rude to every customer I couldn’t believe they are still in business. But I’m patient so I thought as long as they do a good job I don’t mind. This was not the case. Uneven nails and cuticles that bled from so much filing was the antithesis of a professional job. On top of that, during the pedicure, they asked if I wanted the skin removed, then told me if yes then it was five dollars extra. Never in my life have I ever been charged extra for that. Isn’t that the whole idea of a pedicure? Then when I went to pay, they told me I owed ten more dollars than the nail service I asked for and the advertised price. They said they used a better quality powder and gel coated my fill, all without my knowledge or asking if that’s what I wanted. Upon insisting I pay extra, I finally had to get the hell out of that place so I gave them exact change for the advertised price and promptly left. Sneaky, dishonest, and rude. I can’t believe this place is still standing. It’s a damn shame!

I’ve never written a review. In all honesty I just don’t have the time. But today’s service was unprofessional and clearly a few post below have shown this place to be just that. I’m Vietnamese so I hate to have to do this to my own people but my experience was just. Worth warning you about.
I came in because I was in the area and needed a full set before my trip. I asked if they could just give me a basic full set with pink powder (I do it all the time and it’s never been a problem). My family also owns 3 nail salons of their own so I know how this works. I’m mixed with Vietnamese so I don’t look like your typical Vietnamese girl. When the tech was confused he started to bad mouth me in Vietnamese not knowing I could fully understand. Referring to me as ‘an idiot’. I was so in shock I didn’t know what to say. He grabbed my hands and started aggressively removing my polish. At this point i was ready to walk out but I had to be at work in an hour and didn’t have time to go else where. He then comments to the tech next to him in Vietnamese how hideous my nail beds were. I work in a hospital so I’m constantly washing my hands. It’s to be expected. I let it go since I’m not confrontational. Planning to just sit this one through and give a mediocre tip.
Then the tech next to him asks her customer if she wants to add gel top coat onto her nails. When the customer, Caucasian female, said no. She would just like the regular clear coat. They called her broke and a waste of time since she couldn’t afford a $ 3 up charge. At this point I’m livid. I’m looking at the girls nails and the tech says to the man «your girl has some staring problems and keeps looking at me.» I’m not looking at her… I’m just appalled. The other customer and I obviously feel some type of tension from them at this point. So I said in VIETNAMESE… «I hope you know I understand you.» Out of shock they both respond with passive apologies. It was NOT okay and you can tell its something they do often. He «up charged» me for filing my nails square. ITS SQUARE for heavensake. I didn’t ask for cat nails or even a coffin shape. Just plain SQUARE. After they finally realized I was Vietnamese they started to be nice and ask questions about my family… Making conversation to distract from the fact they just bad mouthed their customers in Vietnamese. So unprofessional! The service was awful and the quality of my nails were awful as well. Like I said, my family owns three salons. I know good quality, professional nail salons but I like to support other salons and my own people but this was an establishment that should not even still be running. They don’t value any of their customers and want to bleed you for every cent they can and when they can’t they bad mouth you. (I paid for the up charge so money is not an issue). It’s the fact that they would even dare speak poorly of their customers! If you want to sit there and be bad mouthed… This is the place.

My normal salon is closed for renovation so I came here in desperation. I went in and asked for clear acrylics. I get this done all the time at salons all over Utan and other western states. She starts putting on some heavy opaque peach acrylic and I stop to ask if this will be clear when filed. She says no but it will look more natural. I tell her that I really want clear. So she leaves the nail she’s already done as is (I’m assuming she’s waiting for it to dry so she can file it down and start over). After some chatting with another tech in a foreign language, about what powder to use, I ask if she wants me to find a picture. She says yes and I pull one up. She says ok grabs the new powder – seeming to finally understand what I want. .
She starts in on the next nail with the new powder and I’m thinking to myself that it’s looking awful. BUT having had my nails done a lot over the years AND having just complained about the acrylic color I decide to just see how it turns out. There have been many times that I’ve been very happily surprised once the topcoat goes on.
But no. These nails look awful.
You can see all the lines of the tips and the odd spots where the glue didn’t make contact or left a bubble. And there are other odd lines that I can’t identify. Plus she used pink powder and it looks red. It looks like my nail beds are infected or something.
THEN she never gets back to that nail she did with the wrong powder. She just leaves it and starts filing in it. I ask if she’s going to redo that one and she says she can’t. Wtf? Ok so I’m pissed. It’s looking shitty but I’m 40 min deep into this now and I’m not sure what to do. She’s completely ignoring my less that subtle hints that I am NOT happy.
I will NEVER go here again. Truly awful.

I’ve been going to sky nails for over 7 years now. Kate is the owner and Lance is her husband who also works at the salon. They both are experts ! I’ve never left the salon unhappy about my experience when I’ve had them. I always make an appointment and even though I do sometimes I have to wait and that is ok. They are always busy. I’ve read a few reviews about how they have a bad attitude or bad tone … that is just how they sound. They are very nice people. I’ve often gone to other salons because sky nails is a bit of a drive and I’ve found that alot of salons lack the knowledge to properly do something so that it lasts more than a week. You want quality at a good price then I recommend sky nails

I don’t know if it’s a cultural difference in customer service standards or if these people are just plain rude. When you walk in you get yelled at from across the salon asking what you want. They make you feel extremely uncomfortable in front of every other customer there. I was charged at a previous visit to have my nail polish taken off so this time I was taking my polish off myself before they took me back and was yelled at because they didn’t want to smell the nail polish remover. It’s a nail salon. You smell that when they do it so I didn’t understand the fuss. When I explained how I’d been charged $ 5 for that before he told me they would never charge for that and demanded that I put it away. While working on my nails he kept cutting my cuticles, which he just brushed off by telling me that my cuticles were too long, and held the drill on my nails until I could feel the burn on my skin under the nail. One nail has visible spots that look unfinished. Once my mother and I were ready to pay they told her that her pedicure was $ 43, $ 22 for the pedicure plus another $ 21 JUST FOR GEL. Two of the workers proceeded to stand up and argue with my mom in front of the whole salon about the prices and told her that she knows what the prices are since she had been there before. No. The regular price is for the pedicure plus maybe $ 10 maximum for gel. We will never go back there. Unfriendly and rude staff.

This is the worst experience I have ever had at a nail salon. First of all, they opened the drawer for the individually sterilized tools but then picked up a set of tools which was clearly not cleaned/​sterilized. Then the shellac undercoat wasn’t drying flat and I asked to just have it taken off then she charged me $ 10 for a manicure that I didn’t get because she couldn’t do it properly. This place is not clean and I don’t think they know how to do nails. They also proceeded to clearly talk badly about me in their native language as I am complaining. Will never come back here

This is a good place for a full-​in and anything else pertained to your hands. However, I went in a for gel pedicure and was charged $ 43. For what?! Pedicure is $ 21 and gel POLISH is $ 22. WTF! How do you charge $ 22 for JUST polish. Smh! Last time I do that.

I chose this place because it was inexpensive. And, yes it is inexpensive. My nails turned out fine so I don’t have a problem with the level of expertise of the staff. My main complaint is the utter lack of attempts at being friendly. Even if you don’t want to look at another pair of jacked-​up fingernails or another pair of stinky feet, you’ve got to at least PRETEND like it’s not the worst day of your life. A smile goes a long way guys!
Having said all of that, I may still go back. Inexpensive gel nails without any pretense of chit chat. That’s my one-​liner for this place.

Ruby is the best in this salon… Coming from California she knows exactly what I like… Plus she’s so meticulous an pays attention to details so your nails will ALWAYS be on point!!!

If I could give 0 stars I would! I came in as a walk in with my sister and daughter for a pedicure. After selecting our color and soaking in the chair for 5 min, they began working on our feet. 5 minutes into it, two ladies came in for their appointment. The worker told me I would have to wait for the appointments to be helped, even though they had already started! My daughter and I sat and waited for 45 minutes with our feet in cold water before we finally got up and left. Don’t take walk-in’s if you’re not going to help them. Horrible service. Will never return!

Not very professional, felt very rushed. I asked for a manicure/​pedicure. They completed the pedicure (which was done in lukewarm water) and asked me to pay. I reminded the girl I also wanted a manicure and she seemed so annoyed and sighed, and then rushed through my manicure. I won’t be returning.

I have gone to Sky nails for over 10 years. The salon is always clean, and the service is always what I want. I enjoy the fact that they can reproduce practically any nail design I find online and show them. The owners are very conscientious about keeping the current product trends in stock and keeping their clients happy.

Great place! My new nail place for sure! Got in & out fast. A very clean & friendly place.

Great place ! Clean! Ruby did a great job. Place works well with older people. Grand mother is 96 and high maintenance and they work with her ! Good price clean!

The one thing going for this place –they are open on Sundays.
Having recently re-​located from California I have found myself going here because they are open on Sundays and close to my house. While there are a couple of nice techs at the salon, the general tone and interfacing goes beyond brusque and into rude territory. They are always packed, which is a result of lack of competition more than anything.
When I popped in yesterday, the tech at the front of the salon didn’t even look up from what he was doing before barking at me «you got an appointment?» when I answered no, he said nothing leaving me awkwardly standing there with no response. No estimate for when they could take me, whether I should come back, not even eye contact. After waiting on the couch for awhile with no clue as to when/​if I would be taken I decided to end the cycle of abuse and go somewhere else.
God forbid you come in with Gel nails that need to be removed –the staff at Sky Nails will be very annoyed that they have to remove them (rolling eyes, groaning and huffing). Which I always thought was funny because they did the gels a couple weeks before. Sorry guys, if you want to do gels you will have to take them off too, there is no way around it!
This lack of giving a shit is very typical at Sky Nails. Every time I’ve been there I’ve felt like they were doing me a huge favor by letting me get my nails done there. I am all for quick and dirty when it comes to nails, but at least pretend not to loathe your customers!
The quality of manicures is perfectly fine here. Nothing mind blowing, but no major issues. I would advise to make an appointment, but I’ve done that before and it makes absolutely no difference. If it’s busy you will wait, if it’s not you won’t but regardless they will be rude.

Well folks, it seems as though I walked into Sky Nails during Amateur Hour because today’s visit was terrible. Don’t take this as a vindictive, angry Unilocal post. Take this as a truthful account of what just happened.
Walked in around 1pm and was asked to come back later because they «were behind». It’s Sunday, I have time; I’m merely thankful they’re one of the few places in town offering their services today. I came back around 3pm, in which Kate «helped» me for an eyebrow wax.
I’ve been growing out mine for about a month or so, in hopes of getting an arch shaped out by wax. At a kind request, I asked if she may arch the brow. She snapped back with the fact that there wasn’t enough hair to do so with, «Don’t touch your eyebrows for two months.» Great! Thanks for talking to me like a child. I retorted with «Okay, you’re probably right.» Regardless, she continued to grace me with her services, aka ATTITUDE.
Now, normally a proficient waxer is going to make sure you’re comfortable and ask you move your face when need be. The right thing to do is also trim whatever overgrown hairs may interrupt the goal look of the afternoon post-​waxing. She poked and pushed my face and plucked the ends of the hair which makes a simple procedure feel closer to chopping your eyebrows at La Guillotine. When she was done, she let me know: «You’re done». She didn’t wipe off my face, nothing. I was confused.
No mirror handed over to ask, «How does it look?»
Or, «Is there anything else I can do for you?»
Or, «Come back in two months after its grown. I’ll arch it for you.»
She said, «You’re done», and walked away. I had no idea what my brows looked like and proceeded to walk over to pay. I handed her my card which she swiped and she even threw my card and the receipt down. Of course I tipped her, I am not a horrible human being, but my goodness. I left pissed and embarrassed for even trying.
Sky Nails, you’ve lost me. After so many check ins, I consider you a waste of space and will never come back. One pathetic star for your piss poor attitude employee and for being a huge let down on what was supposed to be a nice day.

I got a good pedicure from Hang also known as Ruby. She gave a great leg and foot massage and the painting job was also good. Yes they all speak in their own language but unless you are really paranoid it’s pretty clear it’s not about you. Hang even started singing in a lovely soprano. The older man there joined in. It was charming. So sure not the most intensely luxurious place in the world but the price was right and I liked the result. Perhaps a little cultural tolerance is what some need here. I have not liked services from places like NAILED for example.

I walked in for a pedicure around noon today. It wasn’t busy and I was able to get in without problem. I did think the main girl handling the chair assignments was brusque — I walked in, told her what I was in for, she told me to pick a color (the polishes are in the very back, not the front where it usually is in most salons), then asked her where I should go and she physically pushed me towards a chair.
The technician asked me repeatedly during the pedicure if I would sell her my iPhone. I told her more than once that my contract isn’t up until December. It was very awkward! She asked to see it and wanted to hold it. I am not interested in selling my phone and tried several times to change the subject. She offered me cash right then. Finally, I just pulled out a magazine and pretended to be engrossed in it to avoid having a conversation with her.
The pedicure was fine. Nothing special. I felt weird the whole time I was there and won’t be going back.

I’ve been going here for about the last 5 years. It’s always pretty busy and whether you make an appointment or not, you’re told the wait is 5 or 10 minutes. Which usually means 15 to 20.
It’s worth the wait. It’s not the prettiest place but they get the job done and they do it well and for a great price. Mani/​pedi for $ 30 which has always turned out wonderfully and a brow wax for $ 10.
I’ve gone other places for both services and have never been as satisfied. I often have a difficult time understanding their English through the accent but I also have to watch British comedies with subtitles. So there’s that.
