Beautiful Nails

Went in for a polish change today, there was polish all over my cuticles, so I had to ask her to clean the edges up while she sat there across from me eating after she finished. She supposedly cleaned them up, yet I walked out of there looking like my 5 yr old niece had done my nails. Won’t be back.

The place LOOKS really professional but I had to walk out. I asked for something VERY simple, just a fill with an inverted V white tip. I couldn’t believe it when she told me they couldn’t do it. «no airbrush», last place did it by hand with polish I tell her «too hard» she says. I’m sorry, if you can’t handle that as a so called professional, I’m certainly not letting you fill my nails either!

I’ve reviewed Beautiful Nails before, but I had to come back to Unilocal.This is my go-​to salon in Saint Louis. The place was really busy today, Sunday, but I still only waited about 10 minutes. Thao was so careful with my manicure and it turned out beautiful! She was very sweet too. She took a little longer because she was making sure it looked perfect, but it was well worth the extra minutes. $ 30 for a gel manicure

Let me start by saying I have been getting my nails done for 10 plus years every 2 – 3 weeks. This was one of the few places in town that had someone that could do a good job with pink and white acrylics. No where does them short enough until I found this place! I came here several times over the last year since moving here and they always do a good job.
I do try other places in town, and I have been very happy with some and not so happy with others.
I recently started getting gel and they do a great job here. Lasts 2 plus weeks. Taho (not sure if I am spelling that correct) did a great job today on my mani pedi.
Only reason I did not do 5 stars is the lack of pedicure options. I have been several places they offer a longer massage for an up change, and to me it’s worth it every time. Other then that-​I have no complaints here. Great polish selection, never to long of a wait, friendly staff, and fair prices.

I visited this place twice in the past. First time I had a horrendous service. I went back a few months later hoping for better because I was strongly convinced that nothing they would do could be worse than my first experience. Boy, was I worng! I would add I went back because of the convenience. It is closer to me than my regular nail place. The wait is never too long as it is a huge place. They are super busy but the service moves fast. This is good and bad: fast turn around means no waiting around for too long, it also means subpar/​rushed/​could do better type of service received.
Anyway, both times I went there for pedicures and I came out feeling like I could have done this better myself, this is not worth the $ 26 I just paid. It should also be noted that the tip is built in the price. No attention to detail whatsoever. Unbelievably rushed job. Techs always act reluctant to add a second layer of polish as if those aren’t already diluted to the max anyway. Certain colors may require even 3 layers for the color to pop, but the techs I guess have firm orders to save the polish as much as possible, idk: sigh:
Also for a place that big, the polish selection is seriously lacking. They need to do a better job having ALL colors available at ALL time, this is very important. They may have 10 bottles of a certain polish available, but if there are 20 patrons at any given time, 10 may all pick that same polish and the other 10 won’t even have that option available to them. As customers, we will be automatically disappointed when we don’t find that specific color. We don’t know the bottles are currently being used, we just know it ain’t there for us to choose. They can do a better job of restocking their polishes especially the popular colors.
I feel like a chicken on the assembly line at Beautiful Nails. You come in, pick your polish, get picked up by the next available tech, get an impersonal hurried service and get sent cluck cluck on your way to the drier just like another one, and the end result is far from Beautiful. I despise this place.

Beautiful Nails is the best nail salon in the area! They spend so much time making sure you have a great experience and show great attention to detail. All of the nail technicians are really good and they spend a really long time on their manicures and pedicures to make sure your nails look perfect and it shows! They keep the salon very clean and the wait is never too long even when it’s super busy. I would highly recommend Beautiful Nails!

I tried this salon for the first time and I will be going here from now on. They were really nice, professional and not pushy.

Been going t Beautiful Nails for many many years now and love it. I highly recommend the Salon. Harry is the owner and it always extremely accommodating and T is my fav technician.

I’m ashamed at myself for not having a Unilocal review for this place before. This is my go-​to nail salon when I’m in STL. I have been here literally over a dozen times in the last few years. You never have to make an appointment and even if you have to wait, it’s not for long at all.
They have a wide range of colors from Essie and OPI as well as their special gel nail polishes. They also do acrylic nails.
I either get a mani/​pedi or a gel mani and regular pedicure. When you’re getting a pedicure, don’t forget to use the massage functions on the chair. It’s so relaxing!

I’m shocked this place doesn’t have a higher star count! I have been getting acrylic nails for MANY years. This is the only place now allowed to do my acrylics! So often places go lumpy or uneven… etc. this place is spot on perfect. I drive 25 minutes just to have them do fills! They are so great… I don’t know what I would do if they ever closed!

I like this place and have been several times. I will also continue to come back. However, I really feel it is just average. Everything seems clean, and the people are friendly overall, but a few could use some better people skills. The prices are reasonable, and I believe average. They always do a good job, by I think I’d rate them higher if they were friendlier.

I recently went to Beautiful Nails for the first time. The woman, Cindy, who did my gel manicure was great. She was efficient, precise, and gentle. I work with children so I am always cleaning up or washing my hands. Gel manicures from other places have lasted maybe 3 days before it started to chip off. My manicure still looks great after almost 2 weeks. Will absolutely be returning to beautiful nails.

I will not come back here. Maybe it was the lady doing my nails. She was so concerned with getting to her next client I felt like a number. I was getting a pedi and a mani so a little time spent would not hurt.

Seems like a lot of the reviews are focused on the atmosphere and friendliness of the staff. I had a wonderful experience getting a pedicure here, but then again I don’t expect some of the things the other reviewers were expecting. Maybe they should have gone to a more expensive salon…
Everyone was very friendly and my technician did a great job on my toes. She took her time to do things right but was also very efficient, which I appreciated. There were not as many colors as other places I’ve been, but how many reds do you need to look at before picking one?
I actually think $ 26 for a pedicure is relatively reasonable, but I just moved here from a place where they’re generally more expensive than that…
Also lets talk about how that had a Rams game going on the TVs while I was there. Awesome.
Definitely going back here after such a great experience!

I never get my nails done (seriously, the last time was about 3 years ago), it’s just not something I spend money on because manicures don’t last at my job and my feet are super ticklish. But when my friend called and asked if I wanted to go get a pedicure I figured why not give it another shot; I just got a new job and felt like treating myself!
My first mistake was not asking how much this would cost. I’d be happy to pay $ 26 (plus tip, more on that in a sec) for great service, but that’s not what I got. The guy at the counter is very nice and got us right in, and the selection of OPI and Essie colors was pretty extensive. I was enjoying the massage chair and trying very hard not to flinch every time she tickled my foot, generally enjoying myself, and then she pulled out her cell phone! Seriously?! I don’t know if she thought this was ok b/​c I was talking to my friend or what, but there she sat, taking to whomever, giving my leg a one handed massage. She finally hung up and went back to using two hands, but by that time I was pretty annoyed.
Once she finished up she sent me over to sit under the nail dryer where she came to take payment. I gave her my card, intending to leave a tip on there, but apparently that isn’t an option? Luckily I had cash, because she hovered until I handed her a $ 5, which is more than I thought she deserved considering she talked though half my pedicure. So far my nails still look good, which is great, but I honestly felt ripped off by the whole thing. The salon is clean and seems efficient, but I think I’ll go elsewhere if I decided to make this a regular thing. Their other location seems to have better reviews…

This place is so bad, I’m writing a review in the parking lot before I even leave the property.
To begin with they have a very small selection of polish colors, all of which are half full or less. That should have been my first indication to leave.
The pedicure is over priced at $ 26.00 and the only option is to sit in a spa chair. CINDY, my «technician», just gave me the worst pedicure I’ve ever received. She refused to file the top of one of my problem nails and so I was forced to do it myself. What am I paying her for?!? She also did a horrible job of trimming my cuticles and filing my nails. She spent no time trimming the cuticles and never ran a file over my nails so they were left as jagged as they were when I came in.
I will NOT be going back there and neither should you. Their only redeeming quality was the man who greeted me upon entry. He was nice and deserves 1 star. CINDY, was worthless.

When I walked into this place on a mid saturday and saw how packed it was, I knew I was going to have to wait at least 30 min before someone is available. WRONG. I was immediately seated in a chair and a person came and started on my toes.
This place seemed clean and sanitary, all the tools came out of new packets. I noticed that they used cleaner and scrubbed the tubs after it was used and they used gloves when working on your toes. There was no homedepot bucket or clorox bleach container used as trash. The environment seems new, the chairs and equipment do not seem dingy. The manicurists actually speak english and understand you. I had my toes and hands done for $ 35 before tip.
They have a decent selection of OPI and Essie nail polishes. There are multiple seats for waiting and they have a nice bathroom if you can’t hold it.
Parking is kinda limited, it is located on the left of the building with like 8 parking spots.
I thought it was funny that they used a crock-​pot to keep the hand towels hot, that was a first but if it works I do not mind. Overall this is a okay place to come and get your nails done. Plenty of workers and clean environment.

Clean, nice staff (most of the techs anyway), product line is excellent and they are very accommodating.
Best pedi in town hands down. They carry a wide range of OPI & Essie colors, as well as Gelish (and the processing time is very reasonable).
Private waxing area for your privacy.
I just love Beautiful. Prices are a tad inflated but you get what you pay for.

I like this place! My nails look great, my wallet is alright, everybody’s happy. I’m a little creeped out by the couple of reviews claiming that things are kept unsterilized there, so I’m going to ignore those and go back to my happy place…
Here’s why this nail salon deserves four stars:
–Very friendly staff, welcoming environment
–Cheap prices (thought believe it or not I’ve had cheaper for better)
–They’re quick, which for me is priceless
–As others have noted, they give a longer than normal foot/​leg massage
–Easy parking right on the side of the building
Here are the only cons:
–The massage pedicure chairs aren’t comfortable to me and the massage is way too hard… it feels like bricks are poking you in the back and then massaging you all the way down, not nice
–I didn’t love their selection of nail colors and they were missing a bunch of OPI that I usually like in the fall
–The interior is kind of old school and even though this location is newer it looks like it was put together a good 10 – 15 years ago
I might go back if I need to, but I think my loyalty still lies with Trendy Nail. Either way, this is a great place to go if you need a quick (and good looking) manicure & pedicure.

Beautiful Nails Richmond Heights location has moved to a brand new building, not far from the old one, in Brentwood! I drove by a couple days ago and wondered if it was the mythical BN that I had seen on Unilocal.Looking up the address, they didn’t match. I decided to go in anyways and asked if they had just moved. The guy told me yes. This location is brand spanking new and spotless. It’s huge — there must be over a dozen manicure stations and 16+ pedi stations. It has a huge fish tank in the middle of the store.
I decided this is my go-​to cheap on the run pedicure place! This is why:
— Got in the chair immediately upon entering.
— The lady brought me a magazine without me asking, and I enjoyed reading it.
— She didn’t talk to me unless needed. I sat back and enjoyed.
— Good quality nail polish products (OPI included) and lots of color selections.
— CHEAP — $ 24 for the pedicure.
— FAST — in and out in 25 minutes or so.
— Clean — I don’t want any nail fungus!
— Long massage!
— I ripped off half my big toe the day before when I stubbed my toe… and she was very gentle with it and took good care of it so it grows back in normally.
— No up-​selling. You get the basics.
The only reason I take off a star is that I would’ve liked more dead skin removal on my feet– they get kinda dry and built up with it. Ick. But it was a great place for fast and cheap!
Definitely a great place for a girls outing or large groups too.
