Ten20

If you could rate this place on atmosphere and cuteness it would get a 5. But the manicures are terrible and get a zero in my opinion. Which is too bad because it’s super expensive and I wouldn’t mind paying the prices for the relaxing, girly experience. I had a manicure here recently and it was so bad the gel polish peeled off within 2 days. So I called and they were so nice, told me to come back in for a free re-​do. Well that one peeled in the same amount of time. It’s not that hard so I don’t get it. And they tried to tell me it was my nails — but I’ve been getting regular gel manis for years and never have had any problems. They typically last 2 – 3 weeks. So whatever products they use here and/​or technicians just aren’t good quality.

Coming from California, a mecca for nail salons, people in CO just don’t know what a good mani pedi is. The staff at this salon are mediocre at best. I had to ask to change technicians because the first one could not file at all and lacked confidence in her skills. I am a nail snob and if paying top dollar I expect the best. You will not get the best here. Thankfully I don’t live in Boulder and don’t have to rely on these over priced places. The chairs for mani’s are cheap ikea barstools and not comfortable at all. The hand massage lasted about a minute. Nothing was luxe and I don’t want to watch garbage tv while trying to relax. The people here need to work on their customer service and technician skills.

Ridiculously overpriced. I guess their «thing» is M&Ms and diet coke, but how am I supposed to eat and drink while I’m getting my nails done? At least provide a straw. My friend and I went and each got shellac manicures. There color choices are very limited so I got a French, which was a $ 6 up charge (industry average is $ 5). Total cost was $ 121 before tip. All those extras dollars must have paid for the 80+ inch TV. I noticed the pedicures are done at an oversized chair and a bucket of water. Personally, the massage chairs at most nail salons are my favorite part. Manicure was nothing special. I was expecting an awesome hand massage or something for what we were paying.

Awesome atmosphere and some of the best waxers around!!!

Two stars because the girls were nice, but my nails looked better walking in.
Services were just mediocre at best.

This review is for waxing!
I have been using the same aesthetician for 10 years in SoCal. Having recently moved to Boulder I was afraid to make a change. I even considered just visiting my girl during my visits to SoCal.
Alas. My experience was great, and I will not hesitate to recommend ten20 for waxing.
I am not in to TV at all, so it is a tad distracting to me, but at least I was just in a private room and didn’t have to deal with it really.

Ten20 is cute and comfortable and always has consistent service with the most professional nail technicians in town. They offer soda, water etc and m&m’s to make you feel pampered. The gals talk to you as little or as much as you would like. I am always relaxed and satisfied when I leave.

Love this place! It is hands down the best nail spa I’ve ever been too. Sure folks say it’s pricey but it’s worth the service. The ‘stations’ are comfortable, the service is over the top, M&M’s, water, large TV with your choice of show and the text message appointments is the best! I have nothing but amazing experiences there… I highly recommend going.

My nails were in dire need of some pampering, nothing worse than grown out gel. Finally able to snag a same day appointment at this busy salon.
This place is girly beyond belief. Coffee bar off to the side, gossip mags on every table, endless m&ms, Friends eps on the big screen TV. I don’t mind that they overdo it, I’m here to be a girl, get pretty and get my nails done. I opted for a simple mini mani and Amber did a phenomenal job, taking care with the gel removal and my cuticles. It’s been a week now and the polish hasn’t budged, no chips, flawless.
Drying ran past their closing time yet they stayed open and were patient. We passed the time by chatting about boys and cupcakes. If you’re looking for a salon with all the frills and encourages you to eat all the m&ms without that better than thou side eye glance, ten20 is the place for you.

Recently moved here and booked an appointment based on a client referral. Fast and thorough service! Amy is awesome! Booked my next appointment!

Ten20 is so cute, fun and a great place to go whether you are with friends, or when you just need a day to pamper yourself.
I had a gift certificate for a pedicure but wanted shellac, they were super nice and let me put the amount towards the service I wanted. I went at 5:30 on a weeknight and was among 2 or 3 other people. Quiet and peacefull. perfect! They had sodas and snacks and customers pick of the TV. Already winning my heart!
My manicure was perfection. She did an awesome job and it lasted about 2 weeks. Couldn’t ask for anything more!
My only issue with Ten20 is the prices. As someone who is still making my way up in the world, this is not a place that I could keep going back to any time I needed pampering.
My recommendation: GO! if you have a few extra bucks.

I’ve been here twice. The first time it was awesome — great pedicure that lasted several weeks and loads of M&Ms to munch on while getting a pedicure in comfy seats facing a huge big-​screen TV. This time wasn’t so great — the gal who did my pedicure was rough, biting into my nail beds with her tools and causing pain. Not good. The pedicure lasted one hour. One hour, then the polish started to chip. She didn’t apply a top coat to protect the polish. And its expensive.

I just love this place! I always have a great time getting my nails done with all my girls. You can watch chick flicks and indulge on some m&ms! You wouldn’t think that I would also look forward to getting my waxing done but that is also an enjoyable experience! Marie is the best! She makes you feel so comfortable and chats with you the whole time so your done before you know it!

Update! My it’s been two weeks since I went, and actually I got engaged that night after getting my nails done there! But I just wanted to say, that my nails looked awesome for a good two weeks!!! All I got was simple polish change, and I’m super messy, I live in the mountains, and I’m a student. So for them to look good that long is amazing! I’m going back ASAP. Also I felt absolutely no pain with the waxing and they did a much better job than other places I have been with the shaping, as well.

My favorite nail place in the city easily!
With a girly and hip vibe, Ten20 offers an experience unlike anywhere else. A giant TV screen constantly plays re-​runs of Friends, Sex & The City, Say Yes to The Dress and more. Nestle into one of their comfy leather chairs with a bowl of peanut or plain m&ms and a diet coke, their signature treats which are included in your service.
On top of offering great nail services, they also have a cute little gift shop area where you can pick out your favorite polishes to take home and more, as well as providing waxing services.
Ten20 offers a loyalty punch card where you can tick off your manis, pedis and waxes and even offers free nail filers with their logo on them. I just love everything about this place, it makes me feel like the cool girl everyone wishes they could be.

This place gives one of the worst mani pedi services in Boulder. I went here because I heard from some friends it was good. The people didn’t do a very good job at my mani or pedi.
My paint isn’t all the way to my cuticle, which makes it look tacky and nasty. The paint also doesn’t go to the sides all the way. I told the lady and she said it is how it was going to stay. Which pissed me off.
My pedi didn’t really do anything for me, I have been training for a 5k so my feet have seen a lot of roads lately. When she scrubbed my feet I felt like she missed the outside of my big toe.
DONT GO HERE!!!

Great atmosphere and hip vibe.
I went with my girlfriend on a Saturday night and we were the last appointment of the night. We did not feel rushed, in fact they took extra time with us.
The pedicure was great!

I have been a regular customer for years. I love the fun atmosphere and comfy chairs. The staff does try to make you comfortable. I just don’t think the nails last very long — and for the price — I expect excellence. Overall, a great place to go with friends, but not the longest lasting nails.

I have been going here for years, mostly for waxes, and I have had absolutely no bad experiences. The employees are always very friendly and make you feel very relaxed and comfortable. The atmosphere is very welcoming and girly — you can watch TV shows/​movies on the big screen or shop around the front while you wait. The prices are a little on the expensive side but it’s definitely worth it. I love this place and wouldn’t go anywhere else for their services!

Man oh man. A review of Ten20 popped up on Unilocal and a flood of terrifying memories came back to me. I have butterflies in my stomach as I’m writing this.
I went to Ten20 about two years ago for a wax. You know, the type of wax women dread but some find necessary. I heard they had tv’s and free coke and peanut M&M’s (seriously that’s why I chose this place). I had many waxes before visiting Ten20 but this was a DOOZY.
My waxer lady was friendly and I didn’t feel awkward or anything with her, but the moment she started ripping my hair out I knew I was in for some torture. It took over 25 minutes for the wax to be complete when it usually takes about 10 minutes or so. She kept ripping up the strips of wax and looking at me and going «Ummm…» like something was wrong but wouldn’t elaborate. I didn’t want to seem like a baby… so I clenched my jaw and took deep breaths through my nose. I was clutching on to the sleeves of my sweatshirt so hard that when it was finally over there were sweat stains on my sweatshirt from the palms of my hands. I couldn’t walk when I got out. It was that bad. I paid and left a tip (I’m one of THOSE people) and got the hell out of there.
I got home and inspected the work… horrible, horrible job. I was red and puffy and all the hair wasn’t even removed! I literally spent the evening hanging out with an ice pack.
The next day I noticed the hair was ALREADY growing back. Waxes of any kind should last a couple of weeks. This just showed me that she had been tearing off the hair and breaking it instead of pulling it out. OUCH. I decided enough was enough and I called Ten20 to complain about what had happened. They offered to re-​wax me if I came in that day. HELL NO. I asked her why she thought I would want to relive such an awful experience, and that they would be putting hot wax on raw patches of skin… she said that’s all they could offer. No refund. I was out $ 60. A monkey could have done a better job.
Why TWO stars you ask? They have free coke and peanut M&M’s…
