Campus Nails

Avoid this place! They have no idea what they are doing, they basically paint your whole finger tip and then remove the extra gel. And they will injure you when doing manicures. It’s the worst on campus!

I abhor Campus Nails. Their practices disgust me. This place is so cramped that throughout my visit, other people’s nail bits pecked away at my face as the nail technician carelessly hacked at the poor hands of my misled peers. I have never before been to a salon where nails chips are free to fly where they will. More importantly, Campus Nails does not sanitize their tools in between clients. Do they even have an autoclave?
I had French UV nails done here and the nail artist was anything but. She did not clean or file or prep my nails as every other nail salon in the world does, so I had to ask to have that done. She glued nails too wide for my actual nails so that they stuck to my skin. Her boss saw the job she had done and started yelling at her. It was that bad. It looked like I had tiny spatulas on the ends of my fingers. I didn’t ask for nails that I could fry an egg with.
At the end of it all, I asked why they had not done the French like I had asked for, and they looked at me, bewildered. They told me it wasn’t something they did but I could add it on as a separate treatment (not free of course), which was totally contradictory to what they told me at the beginning when I asked them what this option WRITTEN on their service menu was. Ugh. Disgusting. So the boss was pissed at her incompetent serf and offered to make it a GENEROUS $ 35 instead of the $ 40.

Ran in to get a quick polish change. They were fairly busy and still managed to get me in and out in good time– while still doing a fantastic job with quality and customer service! The prices are very reasonable as well ($ 6– polish change/​$ 8 for toes), and they are in good spot right on campus.
Megan did my nails, and we talked the whole time. She suggested several colors without me ever asking. (Talk about customer service!) She was super– grab her if you can!

They did a really great job!

I really enjoyed doing my nails here! Typical prices for manicures/​pedicure ($ 12 mani, $ 25 pedicure or $ 35 for both). They were fast though they do try to just file down your nails. I asked for mine to be trimmed. Overall, it was nice (not amazing), but I enjoyed the service. I’d go back! Seemed clean with sterilized equipment. Since they are downtown, they give you free parking at the lot across the street (for services that are $ 10 or more). You have to pay for it first and they will give you a discount in your bill.
