ManiQ Salon

I never thought i would be writing a bad review on ManiQ but after today I would probably never go back. Let me start this ks atleast my 10^th time there but my lady Donna has gotten married n left n now I can see why. So I go in today after work to get my normal gel mani n pedi n learn donna no longer works there n they tell me another lady can do my nails I explained that she can do my feey but not my nails cuz the very 1^st time i came i she did me n ruin my nails this is how i got to met donna because she had to fix her work. The rude guy said they couldnt split it up because they r short staff which sounds like crap to me n assured me she would do a really good job i should of known better so she does my feet stopping every 3 mins to talk on her phone now the drama with my nails omg why did i do it to myself she start my mani barely even cutting my cuticles i had to cut them myself then the color i picked out when they bring the color its not the same so now its getting busy so its ok for her to stop my nails n start some pedi while i wait for someone to do my nails who i guess what the owner but she was rude telling me about her other customers she can be doing all in all 45 bucks later n ugly color n a non cuticle cut mani i would never ever revisit this shit hole again

the staff was friendly. however I made an appointment and felt rushed to get my polish and get done… the pedicure was not good at all… when i sat down the lady next to me was just starting her massage and was still getting her massage by the time she was drying my feet off to be polished. She cut my toe due to rushing. Move onto my nails… i wanted an overlay on my natural nail to make it stronger then polish. the lady told me it was gel not acrylic so it cost extra. PLEASE NOTE I WAS RIPPED OFF! They used powder and liquid which is acrylic i dont care if you write gel in polish on the container. Google the difference between gel and acrylic and you will see. She used acrylic primer but why if its gel… smh! I had acrylic nails for 5yrs straight i think i know. At this point i wanted out of there. She put the polish on and i moved to drying 25mins later there i was and my nails were still tacky and smudging when touched. She came over touched two and they smudged she called me over to the desk where she put some hard top on it and had me sit in front of a heated fan. I look at my nails that are now drying but smudged underneath and look like lava rippling as there was so much polish. She tried to tell me that it was fine. My friend and I asked to switch it and since i sat there for 40mins trying to dry just to do gel polish as i wanted to get out of there. i was then charged $ 15 more for the gel… NEVER AGAIN. FYI a few friends go to Phillip so if you go here use him they never have issues. i will stick with my salon that i love

Quality has gone down a bit and the shop doesnt have as friendly a feel. Plus all my fav technicians were leaving. However Phillip still gives the BEST pedicures in the area!

I tried again. I really like this salon, I do, it’s aesthetically pleasing and it’s close to my house. I’ve been on a tight budget lately so I haven’t had a mani/​pedi for a while, but with the holidays and my work holiday party last Friday I decided to get a gel mani. They’re supposed to last 2 weeks. Every other one I’ve had has lasted far longer. Not this one– it hasn’t been a full week (I got my nails done on Tuesday ¹²⁄₈) and the entire half of my right thumb has peeled away and there’s a weird splotch of color on my nail. I wasn’t even remotely tough on my hands and this happens. I’m done.

I went for the first time to get a gel manicure. I had to soak off my acrylics first. Kathy started working on my nails, then she asked if Kim can finish. First of all; she didn’t even let the acrylic soak off my nails! She kept saying «next time they’ll look better» forget next time! Can I pay next time too? She started scrapping my nails to speed up the process, that didn’t work. So she left a thin layer of acrylic on a few nails of mine! The manicure before the gel polish was RUSHED. All she did was pick off my cuticles! No mini massage, nothing! The gel polished looked crazy after! Since there was acrylic left on them, it did not look smooth. It was full of bumps and creases. She told me once again, «next time they look better, ok?» I paid and left. After staring at my nails inside my car, I actually walked back in and told her she needed to make them look better! I paid 35 $ for absolutely nothing because the $ 10 charged for my nails to soak wasn’t even fair because she left a layer on my nails still!
I won’t say I won’t go back, because I heard «Helen» is really good there, And it’s a nice place. But I will never do my nails with Kim ever. She rushed through everything! And I’m sorry, but I’m paying for this! Ppl go there to relax and have great service with great results! I felt I wasn’t $ 35 on nothing.

Bleh, messed up my eyebrows. Kept on trying to fix it, fixing made it worse. :/

I just got a manicure/​pedicure done by Jenny. I am SO upset with the time and money I wasted at this salon. The place was clean, but the manicurist literally chopped off my cuticles and now they look worse than before she touched them. She cut my toes uneven and I have an event to go to looking like this. I called the owner and she said too bad I didn’t say anything while I was there and she was not sure why I was calling to complain. I gave it one star because Unilocal has no negative stars and I wanted to post this review.

The staff at Mani-​Q is so friendly. I have never had a bad experience. They did some remodeling recently and the place is clean and well kept. I’ve never waited more than 15 min for a mani/​pedi, but can usually get right in.
I took a break from getting my nails done for at least 8 months and when I went back they remembered me by name.
I won’t go anywhere else now.

I LOVE JENNI! She’s awesome. A perfectionist at your finger tips. Her work is excellent. I get a gel mani, pedi and my eyebrows done by her. The owner, isn’t as good as Jenni. The cons; the shop has changed a lot over the past year. There are new nail techs, some of whom absolutely suck! The receptionist/​scheduler often over books. The nail color selection is poor. I can’t tell you how many times customers mention wanting new colors and the owner insist she has tons. If Jenni didn’t work there I wouldn’t go
Tip well people it matters!!!

Getting in:
2 days ago I went to get a pedicure. I decided to call ahead of time to make sure there were available seats before I walked in which definitely worked out because they took me right away when I got there.
Service:
I decided to go with the «Vinyl» pedicure to try something new. Literally vinyl is just a type of nail polish between regular and the gel. The man there told me it would last longer than the regular nail polish and would be cheaper than the gel but for only $ 5 extra so I was sold. The pedicure itself was amazing. They weren’t too rough, the man that did my feet paid attention to detail and the atmosphere of the place was overall great. The chairs has massage settings which I loved and when it was time for them to massage your legs they used hot rocks which I’ve never seen anywhere else! Overall it was a very good pedicure and I really thought I found my go to salon.
Aftermath:
After the pedicure I was very please and I paid leaving a $ 5 tip with the feeling that I got an amazing pedicure. HOWEVER, after 3 days I decided to wear flats to work on a warm day and the polish on my toes smudged. 3 days after the pedicure the «longer lasting» vinyl nail polish decided to smudge. I’m a bit upset and I feel like I wasted money. I understand that the heat may have caused it to smudge against my show but it was 3 days after. I’ve never experienced this before and I want to go back but I would have to be positive that I am getting my money’s worth. Overall it’s a nice salon, I’d just be cautious about that vinyl nail polish.

So this is my nail salon home JENNY is my girl she’s a hard worker, kind and genuine!!! She always takes care of me since day one! This salon is GORGEOUS! It’s very very very clean! They are very organized as well! It is a cash only salon! They have specials during the week. The vibe is amazing here. I love Theresa she’s the owner and when I tell you we always have some great conversations I mean we have great convos!!! She is a hard working woman as well and always has a smile on her face. She does her best making sure all her nail technicians are doing what they need to do to provide an exceptional and amazing service. Jenny and Theresa know how to wax eyebrows! And I mean they hook me up. I’ve gotten deluxe pedis, full sets, refills, eyebrows and eyelash extensions (with refills). And all these services were an A++++++
Go check out ManiQ they will take care of you!!!
Tell Theresa or Jenny Kat sent you don’t be shy chat laugh and enjoy the pampering !!!

I’ve been going there for about 2 years. I’ve been to quite a few salons in this area and I can easily say that for this location and price range, it’s probably one of the cleaner, less trashy environments you can go to.
The people are nice enough and they all do good work. The level of «customer service» you get varies from person. The space is big and there are a lot of employees so you hardly ever have to wait unless you want a particular manicurist or you go on a holiday weekend. Save yourself $ 5 by going on a weekday.
I took away a star because in April of 2015 they stopped taking plastic and installed an ATM for cash only transactions, which for me is a big no-​no. I find it to be a huge inconvenience and a sign of refusing to keep up with the times.

I am a devoted customer but had an experience today with my friend that deserves an update. Their sign says: «ManiPedi Special $ 25» with NO QUALIFIERS. My friend came on a Sunday for Mani Pedi and after she was done, they told her the special ONLY applies to Monday Tuesday Wednesday. THIS IS NOT POSTED ON THE SIGN IN FRONT OF THE DOOR. She spoke to the owner about the additional $ 5 charge (not a big amount). Any owner who believed in «goodwill» would let this go and absorb the $ 5. But not so. My friend only had the cash (it is CASH ONLY NOW) for what was advertised so the technician suffered the loss of a tip. I call that BAD BUSINESS and will consider looking elsewhere. The owner chose the $ 5 over good business practice – doesn’t sit well for me. No fine print to read… buyers beware… bait and switch.

I must say, I was a devoted and faithful customer for 2yrs but I’m done. They are getting 2 stars because they have sweet and nice nail techs. However, last time I was there I was told they could do a mani and pedi and I sat in the pedi seat for 40min. To boot, the color I selected for my toes was $ 5 more – something I wasn’t told until I was paying (not before I selected it). They couldn’t even give me a break that one time? I get gel mani and regular pedi’s faithfully every two weeks, and that’s how I’m treated? Finally, they are moving to cash only which I can do but find inconvenient. So long…

The treatment was ok, but there was a huge sign out at the curb saying ‘Manicure and Pedicure $ 25.’ Or, a pedicure alone was $ 20. I wasn’t going to get the manicure, because I can’t put polish on, but figured for $ 5 more I would at least get cuticles trimmed. Well, at the end they charged me $ 30 and said that special only applies Mon– Thursday and it was Saturday. Well, then why did they have a sign out on the sidewalk? Felt very deceived.

Highly recommend ManiQ, here for the 1^st time, got mani/​pedi & wax and was extremely happy with the entire experience. Clean, relaxing environment, friendly staff, excellent service & great prices. I’ll be back again for these services for sure and plan on getting a facial next time too!

Yesterday was my first time there and I loved my gel mani and regular pedi. I used CND and they were able to match my mon-​gel pedi w the same color. They were very friendly, professional and the place is immaculate. They were really precise with the cuticle cutting and painting the edges of my nails well. The spa pedicure felt great too! Will definitely go back! Can’t beat the price either.

The water has been freezing cold the past two times I’ve been to ManiQ for a pedicure. Last time the woman giving me a pedicure scratched my ankle while using the pumice stone. Not sure why she was up that high on my foot. In the back by the pedicure stations there are a ton of boxes and supplies. It doesn’t look clean.

Awesome as always under new management the massage chairs are awesome. Everyone is really great there but I usually go to Philip but Thai (? I only assume spelled like the country lol) did my nails this time and they came out awesome. See u guys in 2 weeks :)

I have enjoyed my frequent visits to my new found nail salon right in my own neighborhood.
The hospitality that Amy (owner) has provided since day 1 will keep me coming back and bringing family/​friends.
A special thanks to the nail techs I have interacted with that has provided an awesome experience upon each of my visits. I give shoutouts for Phil; Jenny; Kim (all I know so far) #superstartrio
