Lotus Nails and Pedicure Salon

I brought my bridesmaids and myself (the bride) here the day before my wedding. Their staff were very welcoming and friendly. I almost felt like family though it was my first time there. Most importantly the quality of their work was impressive. They had a wide variety of colors and respectively double checked if we were sure before they applied the nail paint.
This salon is tucked away in Traverse City but well worth the trip.

Very relaxing pedicures! I came here with my
Mom and sister, the ladies were excellent and really allowed us to relax and enjoy our time. Very affordable yet with all the same great amenities (scrub, hot stone, massage) as the more pricey nail salons. We will definitely be back!

DO NOT go here! They don’t know how to do gel or pedis. All polishes are so old they causes major streaking. My «manicurist» just kept wiping it off with Kleenex. My nails were filed unevenly. They got the gel all over my hands and cuticles and then offered me a file to take home to get it off myself.

Salon was clean and the staff was nice but the service was mediocre at best. Pedi was fine, looks good if not the most relaxing or thorough. My shellac mani was sloppy and there is polish all around my nails. It was hard to see in the Salk as the chair I was in didn’t have great lighting. I he to stop part way home to wash my hands because the smell from the lotion was so strong that it was giving me a headache. This mani pedi was not worth $ 54. I would not recommend nor will I go back

Anne was very sweet and friendly. Did a careful job with my shellac manicure and was very efficient.

Pedicure was rough. Felt like the scissors were not sharp enough or too sharp. Paint job sloppy. The real corker was the manicure. I think the owner was bothered because I changed my mind and had a regular manicure instead of a gel one.
She told me the polish on a regular manicure would last 2 days and a gel would last me 3 weeks. Her filing was so rough I had two jagged nails I had to ask her to fix. The polish is all over my cuticles. It is the first manicure I’ve ever had that there was no hand lotion and massage. There was a gel customer waiting so I guess she forgot. Very disappointed!

I immediately regretted walking in here. This place is small. Its gross. It’s full of people who literally have no idea what they are doing. I thought this was the best place to go for nails but omg. I was steered on the wrong direction. AVOID THIS PLACE. I took an hour to just get my toes done. We bolted after that and went else where for nails.

This salon is amazing! I have been here twice and it has been great service both times. It will be a regular stop on any future trips to Traverse. Small but well maintained and the people are very friendly.
I have a three year old and Marissa has done her her toes and finger nails twice. She is absolutely phenomenal with her! She wants different colors on her toes and an individual design on each nail… Marissa helps her picks colors and designs and they chat the entire time she does her nails. My daughter loves her.
Thank you Lotus nails!!!

Let me start by saying that I’ve had my pedicures done by many salons and have grown quite discerning about how I like them done. I like all the extras like hot rocks and scrubs done up the leg. I also stand in heels all day so I need extra good exfoliation and some good callus removal.
Lotus Nails came recommended by my sister who has been going there for quite a while. When I got there I was greeted in a friendly way and was immediately seated on a pedi throne. I was pleased to have a quality massage throne and hot water!!! Too many times the water is not hot. There was delightful spa music and sounds in the background, dim lighting and the trickle of a fountain that really helped me relax after a long day. They offered me detox citrus water in a fancy glass and I relaxed for a calm wonderful experience. The woman did an amazing job with cuticle and callus removal. The exfoliating was heavenly and I walked out with my feet looking a decade younger. To me… that is the quality that warrants taking this much time to post a real thorough review. It’s very confusing to me to read anything but good reviews because I’ve had my share of bad pedi’s and this was far beyond the best. Thank Ann!!! I feel pretty again

Very impressed with the pedicure I received today! I’m from downstate and I’m sad Lotus Nails can not come back with me! It’s too often that I go to a nail salon where the entire process is rushed and I leave unhappy. At Lotus, my entire experience was pleasant from my initial walk through the door to my end product. The hot rock massage was quite a treat I must say! Lotus is very reasonably priced as well. I would recommend this salon to everyone in the area, and if I’m ever back in the traverse area I will be sure to visit again :)
P. s. I’ve been bragging to my girlfriends that I’ve received the best pedicure of my life all day today lol

I’m giving this place three stars because the people were really sweet but the guy who did my pedicure used a callus shaver which he told me had just become illegal in Michigan but they «are pretending they don’t know.» This wouldn’t have bothered me as much if he didn’t draw blood on my heel from shaving too much off. Very unhappy. I will NOT be back.

I was visiting from downstate and needed a pedi. I set up an appointment, arrived about 10 minutes early and were able to take me immediately. Got a nice foot and leg massage included in the price of the pedi. I will be back.

Just what a needed — waiting to pick up someone at the airport– called and they had just the time I needed! While there I heard them say they «were full and couldn’t take someone.» Unusual for some nail shop and they will say they can take you and you wait and wait. Small place– great job

Great place! They take their time and do a good job! They care about their clients, it’s not just about getting them in and getting them out!

A great place for a pedicure! Friendly and personal… no long line of chairs with junk tv playing. A smaller salon with 3 big (plus 1 smaller) pedicure chairs. Relaxing music playing and they take their time. So much more relaxing than a larger place that is chaotic and you stare blankly at a tv or out the windows of a strip mall. This place has nice personality. Being a runner, it was amazing how great my feet looked and felt when they were done. Because it is a smaller place I would recommend calling ahead to make a reservation. You can tell they care about what they do!

Doesn’t even deserve ONE star but that wasn’t an option. A blind monkey could have done a better job then the experience we had today. I had shellac (or what they call it anyways) and my friend had her acrylics filled. Both our nails are NOT even, bubbles, old nail polish still on and the new nail polish is all over are fingers. They legitimately sawed our nails off and burnt our hands with the equipment. It’s a small place with only two desks. The one lady was directing the guy doing my nails from where she was painting my friends. Leaving me extremely uncomfortable! I doubt these people even have licenses. I’m actually embarrassed at my nails. And now have to go pay someone else to fix them. DO NOT COME HERE unless you feel like giving money away. And in that case I suggest you donate it to a charity because it will go to better use. Hands down worst experience ever!

I LOVE this place. They have great hours and I always seem to get in the same day. I just call a few hours before I need to get in. The owner Anna is super nice and always looking to satisfy you. The pedicure is amazing too, it comes with a hot stone massage, exfoliation, and yet another massage. Most places rush through this part of the pedicure and spend all the time on the polish. For me being a hairstylist I am always on my feet, so I need someone to spend extra time rubbing! I would recomend this place to anyone, and I have to many people. Anyone I bring here loves it too and always come back. :)))

I took my stepdaughters here for a mani/​pedi while we were on vacation because it got good reviews. I made an appointment and when we showed up there weren’t enough people. I sat with my feet in the tub for about an hour. They got mani/​pedis, I just got a pedicure because we had to go to dinner. The polish was sloppy, it was see-​through in some spots, one of my nails was only half covered and there was polish all over my stepdaughters skin. They wanted gel so we couldn’t get it off and redo it at home and they were stuck with it for a week until they could chip it off.

I don’t get pedicures as much as a lady should, which means my feet need a professional when I do go.
Lotus turned my pasty winter feet into smooth sandal ready appendages. Love love love the hot stone massage and sweet service.
Overall best value in town — $ 23 for realz?! Going to make this a regular stop in the summer.

My fingers and toes have made their rounds in Traverse City…
I’ve never been very impressed. Passable, yes… but no shop has really convinced me that anyone up here knows what they are doing with manicures and pedicures.
Until I found this place. It’s been open 4 years but I’d never heard of it. Saw a review pop up and figured I’d check it out. Excellent.
Appointments accepted (and given priority). If they take your appointment, they mean it, which I really appreciate. Ana had me in a pedicure chair within moments.
$ 23 pedicure (includes hot stone massage!) + $ 28 shellac manicure, and I was back in business looking like a lady that had her ish together. Indeed. Both are holding nicely on day 3 and show no signs of stopping, I’m thinking I’ll even make one more appointment before heading back across the pond.
It’s a small shop (I wouldn’t say you should bring a large group in) and has the typical décor of «economical» nail salons. You can tell they are trying hard to keep things nice, have soothing music on, fresh magazines, and a pretty good color selection (actually the shellac selection is pretty excellent).
*Cash/​check preferred, cards also accepted.
