Tina did a great job and I will be back! I’ve been to a couple of other places in the area since moving to StL a few months ago and they’ve been so-so at best. I can finally go and relax and not worry about sloppy nails. Thanks Tina!

I had been going to another nail salon that I loved, but I really wanted to find a salon closer to home, so I finally tried Ballas Nails & Spa. I went on a Friday evening after work and although they were busy I was able to get right in. I told my nail technician that I wanted something similar to what I had done elsewhere and she was able to recreate it. She took the time to get the white tips of my french manicure just right and she even gave me a quick shoulder massage. I paid $ 35 before tip, which I thought was a good price for being in the chair for almost an hour. I will be back!

I found this place about a year ago and I love it. I get my eyebrows waxed here and they always do a good job. I’ve gotten a few mani-pedis done and am always pleased with it. Brought my 2 mini-mes once and they sat in the little pink chairs and loved it. The employees are always nice and professional. I’ll be back in 2 weeks!

Let me first preface this review by saying I’ve been coming to Ballas Nails for years. Some of the people are great, others are not very good. I’ve never felt compelled to write a review until today after having just left with the WORST gel manicure I have ever received in my life(actually still in the parking lot writing this) My nails are actually fuzzy from the towel fibers that were painted on to my nails. You can still see the faint lavender color from my last gel manicure that wasn’t properly removed along the sides of my nails. Some parts of my nails received top coat while others did not. The tops of my nails are rough, which is not surprising as she spent 30 seconds filing them. I’m furious as I have been such a good customer here — coming almost every two weeks to have a gel manicure done — and the service slides each time. I will not be coming back ever again. I’m a very laid back person who always tips well no matter the circumstance, but I couldn’t find it in myself this time. I can understand that every time can’t be perfect, but this was beyond me.

I have been going to this nail salon for a few years and they always do a very nice job. They are nice and polite. The nail color selection is very big. Really nothing to complain about. I do wish they would get their TV situation sorted out. Some are never on and the stations they do play seem kind of lame. They should invest in this part of their business for the enjoyment of their customers.

Updating this review to state the gel mani I got only lasted 6 days! I have never had a gel mani that chipped and came loose around the edges so fast! I’ve had regular manis that lasted longer. I will never return here.

Just got my nails done here, and I’m very pleased. The guy who did my nails paid attention to detail, didn’t cut me once(like many other places do), and he had no problem with the way I requested my nails to be done. Will definitely be going back!

I stop in this salon once in awhile for convenience because its near my place of work. The quality of the work here is hit or miss. My most recent visit was a miss. The service took twice as long as it should have. I was having a french gel manicure that should have taken 45 minutes max. I didnt have an existing gel manicure to remove which can be time consuming so I should have been able to be in and out during my lunch hour. Not only was this poor girl slow, she was rough, leaving a cut on one of my fingers, botched cuticles and the manicure itself didn’t look so great. On balance the people here are very nice and do make an effort to get me in and out quickly, but they tend to be slow and not as skilled as some nail technicians I have encountered at other places. I would come back here but only if I wasnt on a tight schedule and had an hour and a half to two hours to spend.

Usually not too long of a wait. I had a hard time picking out my gel color but the man servicing me was very patient; he brought the colors to me again and tested a few different ones for me. Even after I chose and he was in the middle of the first coat I changed my mind and he didn’t mind at all. I got a good quality gel manicure with friendly service. However I wanted to get eyelash extensions but they were extremely overpriced.

I went here with my mom and got a gel manicure. It didn’t last very long but maybe that’s because I am a picker when it comes to nails and picked it off. But she wasn’t very gentle and ended up giving me a scrape on one of my fingers. I’m not going to exaggerate I didn’t notice till later and it wasn’t bleeding but it was defiantly from this nail salon!

I really wanted this place to be awesome. Mediocre at best. I opted for a shellac manicure… more pricey but I was more than dissappointed. You can see through the color on all of my nails. The tech cut 2 of my fingers, there is still polish on my cuticles and my fingers, the manicure truly looks like something I could have done at home while having some wine… 35 $ is WAY crazy for such a poor performance

I frequented Ballas Nails for over two years and always had good service. Their shoulder massages during the manicure as a nice treat especially if you go during the business day — great relaxation. They are slower than more places. Recently I was bumped to the back of the queue because two ladies came in with reservations(that’s what I was told) but I had made a reservation myself. This made my mani/pedi last almost two hours which is unacceptable. I won’t be returning.

It was a very relaxing process. They did a good job but there are a few things to note. This is not a short process. They do take their time, so that is good but bad if you have some where to go. Some people hate it when the person doing your nails are talking in a different language to other co-workers. I don’t mind because then I can read and don’t have to have a conversation in my chill out time. I got the better pedicure, the regular manicure, and an eyebrow wax for $ 52. That is a great price! With the regular manicure they rub your shoulders and put your slathered with cream hands in gloves and then in heating pad mittens. It was a nice experience if you need to get it done and don’t mind it isn’t perfection.
