Boulder Nail

I’ve been into Boulder Nail a few times for pedicures, the service was OK and the pedicure was good for the price. The mani’s are $ 12 and the Pedi’s are $ 20.
I brought my daughter and her friend in over the weekend to celebrate my daughter’s birthday.
Just after we got there 2 women came in with their 2 girls; asked about mani pricing for little girls. They were told $ 10. The technicians couldn’t get my 2 girls out of the pedi chair quick enough. no more than 10 minutes was spent on the pedis and even less time on the manis. The tech didn’t even look at the girls nails, she was looking all around her the whole time. When I went to pay I looked at their nails and there was gloopy polish everywhere, all over the cuticles, too. They were the WORST MANICURES I’ve seen, even if the girls had painted each other’s nails. So they charged me $ 12 per pedi even after quoting $ 10 to another customer right in front of me and I paid my $ 64 plus a tip and will NOT be back.
Oh, and when I complained the tech told me the mani looked bad because the girls had knocked the nails on the dryer.
I must say the other techs stepped in and tried to help and re-​do the nails but I didn’t have time to stay. They were too busy to do it right the first time so I won’t be back.

Went here for a pedicure. I did not have an appointment and there was about a 5 minute wait. No biggie. My biggest complaint is that I was charged extra for the scrub on the bottom of your feet (isn’t that standard when getting a pedicure) and also, the technician did NOT put any lotion on my legs and feet. She was very distracted on her cell phone and kept leaving me to take her personal calls. So annoying! I will not go here ever again for a pedicure. The only other time that I’ve had a good experience here is having a gel manicure with «Linda». She truly is the best and I don’t know why she’s at this salon. Overall experience. meh. Also, my pedicure was $ 27.00. No lotion, no massage… hardly worth it.

VERY UNSANITARY DO NOT GO HERE~!!! ***The lady clipping my toenails noticed a hang-​nail ON HERSELF, clipped it — then used the SAME cuticle clipper ON MY TOES without even spraying them with alcohol or wiping them off!!! OMG. THIS IS SERIOUSLY HORRIBLE! I cant believe I didn’t just get up and leave :(i WAS TOO HORRIFIED. ALSO, My gel manicure looked so messy-​that I went to a different salon and had to redo it :(If just my nails looked mediocre I wouldn’t even bother writing a review… but the fact that it was such an unsanitary process, AND my nails looked horrible just did it for me. I WILL NEVER GO AGAIN :(still cost me $ 50 plus for the services) DO NOT GO HERE. When you do not sanitize tools that come into contact with SKIN and possibly BLOOD you SPREAD DISEASE… like nail fungus’s and viruses. VERY IRRESPONSIBLE SALON. I am so upset at myself for not leaving when this happened. and stopping the service. :(

Boulder Nail is definitely the cheapest nail salon in town, but you sure do get what you pay for! They don’t disinfect their tools. They don’t clean out the foot tubs between customers. All their nail polishes are old and goopy. They barely give you ANY massage on legs and hands during mani-​pedis. They re-​dip the sticks into the same pot of wax when you get waxing services (even brazilian waxes, which is totally gross!). And while the technicians are all very nice, they don’t clean up the polish off your cuticles very well and they don’t cover the entire nail with the top coat.
I’m totally grossed out and am just really hoping they didn’t give me some nasty infection or fungus from their lack of cleanliness. I will not be returning there.

Boulder Nail has been my nail and waxing salon of choice for almost 20 years. It’s a friendly place where you can get a decent quick mani-​pedi at a reasonable price, without an appointment, and rarely is there a wait. However, the building and the salon show their age inside —
PROTIP: Their waxing service, specifically eyebrow shaping, is one of the best bargains in town!

Standard spa pedicure at a good price. I like this place because we didn’t have to make a reservations. The women are really nice too. I’ll be going back!

This place is good if you need a quick and cheap manicure ($ 10) or pedicure ($ 18)! It’s clean, everyone who works there is nice, and they do an okay job. Nothing spectacular, but affordable and decent.

I stopped in for Mani-​Pedi and decided on this place after going to a few other salons on the area. A manicure costs $ 10 and a pedicure is $ 18. Compared to other places this is pretty affordable. Also for people who get acrylic, they do a full set for $ 25.
It wasn’t busy so I was seated immediately. The inside looked clean and organized, and the staff was kind. No one really tried to start conversation with me but I don’t mind. While I was in the chair getting my pedicure, another girl started working on my manicure. I’ve never had two people working on me at once! Because of this, I was finished pretty quickly (30 minutes tops).
In terms of quality I thought it was average. Both manicure and pedicure were good and quick but I don’t think either of them took extra care or detail. If I need a mani-​pedi that’s relatively cheap and to the point, then I would go back there.

A new state and a new hunt for a nail salon. First stop, Boulder Nails. It’s certainly got the name going for it!
I dropped in yesterday for a much needed pedicure to kick off summer. At this point it’s hard to say how it will hold up. I have certain standards for nail work based on price. So at $ 18 (which doesn’t include callas removed — that’s another $ 3) I expect solid cuticle work and color that lasts almost 2 weeks. If this newbie pedi job stands the test of time, it might be worth risking those semi uncleanly salon tools again… but me thinks not.
I’ve always been a stickler for nail salons that CLEAN THEIR TOOLS. Something about barbicide just helps me sleep at night. So even if they don’t do a great job, even if it’s not a fresh cuticle cutter straight out of a sterile pack, at least make some effort to clean your tools between customers. In fact, its even acceptable if you attempt to trick me into believing you cleaned the cheddar off that toe pick before you attacked my right foot. *cringes in horror*
Aside from my qualms with the cleanliness of the tools I can say that my technician was pretty aggressive cleaning under my nails (partially my fault because I’ve been getting dirty outside a lot lately) and they didn’t clean the foot tubs between customers (again, please at least attempt to trick me).
I’ll pass on this place in my next adventure. I like to get a little nutty, but if I break out with plantar warts I will know who to blame.
So, one star for the name and one star for… to be honest the second star is for charity. Wait, parking, the other star can be for parking (sorry charity).

The quality of the mani/​pedi service here is pretty good, considering the typical cheapo strip mall digs. Based on prior experiences in Boulder, I would say this place is about half the cost of what you would pay around Pearl, only I was much happier with the result after coming here. I think I’ve found my new nail salon. :)
