Beyond Nails

My first experience here was great and Lily did an amazing job. I’ve gone back 2 other times and had 2 different people… horrible shellac manicures! Polish was not snotty the first time and he kept going even after he noticed it. I was already there for so long that I didn’t care, I just wanted to leave. Today, well today was interesting. I don’t think the lady today does nails very often. I had to file my nails when I got home because they were rough and uneven. She even attempted to file them down after I said something., polish was not good either. There’s space from my nail bed and uneven.

Nightmare. The place is filthy, the table, the towel… everything. The lady who did my nails took 1 hour and 15 minutes to do an acrylic rebase! The nails were chunky, not even, not cleaned properly underneath, I had to ask her to clean the previous nail polish off of my fingers-​they were pink up to my knuckles. I was desperate as I had an event later that day but I will never ever go again.

Nice pedicure with a great leg massage. Very pleasant staff, clean, colorful space (even the restroom is pleasant). Reasonable prices ($ 20 pedicure, $ 12 manicure, $ 30 for both).

Walked in without an appointment. Was see pretty quickly. Got mani/​pedi. Only $ 30.00 so that was terrific. Service was friendly, no one was very chatty. Kinda nice to just sit back and relax. My toes looked fantastic, nails were just okay. Would probably go again.

I love this nail shop but does anyone know where twin went? Or where her new salon is?

Really wanted this place to be the neighborhood spot where I could pop in and out since it was so close to home, but I was really disappointed. Not super friendly, and the lady repeatedly hit my finger tips with the drill to the point where at one point I drew back and cursed (not my usual style.) My nails are now annoyingly thick, uneven and unnatural looking. I’m headed back to Aurora to get ‘em fixed. I’m not even that picky! I’m just sad I can’t walk to the place closest to my house.

I asked for a full set and had to receive a manicure because she could not get the shape of nails I requested, she poured way to much glue on my finger and was mad when I asked her to replace it.

Never again. First of all I went in to have one nail fixed and a refill and polish Mary wanted to take off all my nails to start fresh and only charge me the $ 18 which would be for a re-​base after she put the fresh nails on I had to go to another table and a gentleman worked on the acrylic part it took him over an hour to fill nine nails there was glue under my nails my skin was sticking to some of the nails excess acrylic under my nails and he didn’t even buff the top they were uneven and sharp I decided it was time for me to leave I went into wash my nails while he was running my credit card no nail brushes in the bathroom
They are nice people but they really need to work on the proper way to finish nails and cleanliness of the salon. Too bad there isn’t a half star rating. Definitely not going back

I used to come to Beyond nails a year or so ago, the women that were before were really cool and nice. But I soon found out that they were adding tip without letting me know, then would take the extra tip I wrote or gave them in cash. So I never came back. I went about a week ago and was not pleased at all. To avoid conflict I left without giving tip. My nails were poorly done, and you can tell right away, now that they have grown a little they look 10x worse.

Wow. Hands down worst experience at a nail salon I’ve ever had. Where to start… I asked for a simple set of black matte acrylics in a pointed/​almond shape. They had two techs work on me at the same time which made for a very awkward and uncomfortable seating position. Neither tech seemed like they knew what they were doing which resulted in an absolute disaster of a set. All the nails were different lengths, two of them were straight up lopsided, and the acrylic was pooled at my cuticle in several places. One of the nails techs kept dipping her brush in the acrylic powder instead of the liquid polymer and did not have a good grasp on laying the powder down correctly.
Before they put the final coat on I asked them to please stop and take them off. They barely argued as it was so obvious how terrible the whole thing was. Two hours later, I walked out with shredded cuticles, scuffed natural nails and acrylic still stuck in several places + no set of acrylics. So bummed, never coming back here again.

I ended up visiting Beyond Nails a week ago for the first time and didn’t have the best experience ever. I have artificial gel nails and I was searching for a nail salon closer to my house than my original. I only needed a fill and obviously a new polish applied. I called Beyond Nails and asked them how much it would be for an artificial gel nail fill and someone quoted me $ 18 on the phone.
When I arrived to Beyond Nails, no one was there but three employees. I greeted them and told them that I was the customer who called about the artificial gel fill and they had absolutely NO idea what I was talking about. I literally had all three employees trying to figure out what I was talking about. They thought I was talking about gel (as in shellac polish) the whole time. It was very frustrating trying to communicate what I wanted, so I finally just pointed to the service on their menu, and one of the employees sat me down at a station. All three of the employees then proceeded to take off my current nail polish. at the same time. Talk about awkward. This wasn’t even the worst part.
I arrived at 4 PM when I finished work and didn’t get out of there until 6:30 PM and that was JUST for the fill, not even any polish applied. The employee who was doing my fill took SO long to do my fill, that I couldn’t even get the polish applied because I had to meet someone for dinner at 7:15. I couldn’t believe it took him that long to fill my nails and I’m still not even sure if he used the correct filler. Either way, I will not be returning to Beyond Nails but I do wish them the best of luck. They definitely have potential, but they need to make some better business decisions when it comes to employment.

Stopped in for a pedicure on a Saturday and they got me right in. They are super nice, the guy that did my pedicure was super sweet. He gave me the best massage I’ve had while getting my nails done. Finished product is beautiful. I think I found my new spot!
Update — it’s been a week since my mani/​pedi and my nails still look perfect! Go here! They’re awesome!

Terrible. I went religiously for 4 years and now they have new owners and the finished product is awful. I gave them 2 chances and after this last service not again. The first time I had a manicure and shellac and it seemed as though they had never performed the service before. Manicure was subpar and took close to an hour by the time she finished with shellac which bubbled BTW.
Second time I went in I had a gel fill. Clearly they had no idea what they were doing, Every single nail was filed a different shape and 1 hour after I left 2 nails chipped off so I had to go back in the next day. Here I am 2 days after that and both nails chipped off again.
So, so bad, probably the worst nail salon I’ve ever used. I get manicures every 2 weeks so I feel like I am vain about my nails. This place will never survive.

The manicure was cheap, but they charge an extra $ 5 to remove any old nail polish, which I thought was pricey when the manicure was advertised for only $ 15.
My manicure ended up ok, but my nail artist answered her cell phone TWICE while she was doing my nails and walked away to talk in the back room leaving me sitting and waiting. There was another employee watching something very disturbing on her tablet (some sort of violent movie with a lot of screaming) on the couch at the front of the store with the volume up very high. This was not conducive to relaxation, at all!
The last straw was when my nail artist, after her social hour was over, pulled her cuticle clippers out of her back pocket to use on me. I should have walked out right then and there. Disgusting.

I agree with the other reviews, definitely don’t judge this place by the outside. Inside is clean and the women are inviting. I’ve been there twice now and Mary is awesome. She’s attentive, nice, meticulous and so amazing! I’ve gotten so many compliments on my nails, everyone thinks they’re real! This place is nice, cheap, and within walking distance. I lucked out!

Worst ever. I went in for a full set, white tips. Tech was Mary. I can’t really describe how ugly my nails look. I have thin slender hands and fingers. My nails look short fat and wide. NOTHING like my natural nails. I know they are fake but generally acrylic nails mimic the shape of your natural nails. The acrylic is so thick it has bubbles and NONE of the nails or tips are the same length or shape. I am embarrassed of my hands and wish I could take them off. Huge waste of money and time. The salon is nice, it’s deceiving from the outside. It’s clean and stylish but was totally empty. Maybe they do a good pedi but DO NOT get acrylics here!

Beyond Nails has two very important aspects for me.
1. They were able to take me without an appointment or a serious amount of time waiting.
2. It’s clean.
I don’t often find myself in nail shops, but seeing how it’s the summer and I wear a lot of sandals I do go on occasion to get pedicures. Beyond Nails was able to work me in quickly, the ladies there are friendly, they use OPI products, and it’s reasonably priced ($ 28 for a full pedicure) which are all things I can appreciate. I’d easily go back again if I found myself in the area with time and a need for a pedicure.

This is my local nail salon; just down the block from my apartment, so in terms of convenience, Beyond Nails gets 5 stars.
I’ve been here a few times in the past year, and service has always been consistently great. Nice massage chairs, the workers are mindful of my needs, and the music is kitschy fun.
Highly recommend the regular pedicure, as that’s the best deal you can get for a high-​quality pedicure.
I tried one of their special pedicure treatments (hot rocks?) before and I have to admit, I was disappointed with the treatment: the copy in the brochure sounded so great, but when it came to reality, the rock treatment was just «eh». Was not worth my money.
I’ve decided that most nail salons don’t do great jobs at basic manicures, but it’s not their fault: just plain nail polish on nails = chipping right away anyway. Blame it on the nail polish companies instead.
Was very happy with my shellac manicure here though; so quick and easy and a great deal!
Be sure to tip the workers well, because they do work hard to keep this little shop open on Colfax.

I first heard of Beyond Nails from my father who went with friends who work near the salon on Colfax and Josephine. The owner Tuyen and her sister Tiffany are very friendly and talk to you instead of chatting with one another. It is a bit of a pet peeve when nail technicians are speaking another language I don’t understand. Beyond Nails does a great job with pedicures, manicures and other nail treatments my sisters and friends have gotten.
The salon is clean, well decorated and enjoyable to be in.
I look forward to my monthly pedicures at Beyond Nails.

So I’m not gonna front; going here officially marked my 5^th pedicure in my entire life. We based choosing this place off of price ($ 28 for a pedicure, $ 38 for a mani-​pedi) and Unilocal reviews, and were very happy with it. It was the BEST of the 5 pedicures I’ve had, but it was in the top 2, and I think that is batting pretty well. They fit both of us in right away, were very friendly, brought out a bottle of water, you name it. And their chairs? AH MAY ZING. Definitely the best massage chairs I’ve ever been in, and I loved that I got the manicure in the same place I had my pedicure, without having to move. Great nail polish selections as well.
I’m not sure how long things are supposed to last. My right foot had two toes chipped within a few days, but after a week or two, they grew out enough for me to trip off the chips, and now (3 weeks out), both feet look lovely. The manicure chipped a lot by the end of the first week, but I hated to take it off since I loved the exciting color so much.
I’ll absolutely be back, and really recommend it to non-​frou frou folks who are looking for a fun time for a lower price, that can fit you in right away.
