Nails Studio

Terrible service. Surprisingly, I got right in, however the service was so incredibly slow it was ridiculous. The man working on my nails was so busy directing, barking out orders, and eavesdropping on conversations that it took him almost TWO hours to do my manicure. Then, he charged me almost double what it would cost in Lansing! I mean, come on… this is Howell. NO REASON for the jacked up prices! There was really no customer service and it was obvious he wasn’t confident in this line of work because after I got into the car, there were noticeable flaws where the nails weren’t buffed as they should have been. Probably because he wasn’t actually watching as he filed, clipped, and/​or buffed. The place is rather dirty too. The only redeeming quality was the massage chairs at the pedicure stations. So disappointed. Will definitely have to find a new salon to go to… or head back to Lansing.

I myself did not have a pleasant experience others seem to have had here. I recently moved to Howell and was looking for a nail salon. Based on the reviews, I was truly expecting something between good to great. Wishful thinking. High hopes. I walked out feeling like I wasted a chunk of money on really POOR quality work. I felt like I was in an assembly line. 15 minutes on gels, 15 minutes on pedicure, NEXT!!! I did NOT have the delightful experience others have spoke of, and I am disappointed. This nail «studio» needed to be cleaned, staff taught etiquette, and understand that quality time spent on just one customer will go much further than giving crap quality to one customer who will never bring her money back here, or her many friends who too are looking for quality nail salons. If I wanted to be treated like cattle, I’d go to a factory farm. The search continues…

I came in for a shellac manicure and it was horrible service! The tech spent more time talking to the tech next to her then she spent doing my nails. She would stop and look to her right and talk in Vietnamese for minutes at a time while I was just sitting there. I don’t mind talking while getting my nails done but has she ever heard of multi tasking? And not only that but she didn’t go all the way to the edge of my nail bed so they began peeling 1 day later. This was overpriced as well! $ 35 for shellac manicure is high for this area. I would recommend going to JL nails in the outlet mall. They are friendly, clean, do good work and are only $ 25.

Just got a shellac mani this afternoon. I’ll try to touch on the areas I usually see most commented on…
— they did an acetone soak to remove my previous shellac color, not the foil wraps
— English wasn’t very good, but there are other technicians who can help if your tech doesn’t understand
— pricing seemed a bit high…$ 25 for a shellac color change, $ 35 to get a shellac mani
— not very clean; they used bowls for soaking, did not use a fresh Emory board for each customer, cuticle cutters (or any equipment that I saw) didn’t come out of a sanitizer, etc.
— the salon itself was a bit cluttered and dated, could use a good overall scrub
— had a decent selection of shellac colors — it should be noted that it is not all shellac, but also some off-​brands (gellish, etc.)
— even got a bottle of water when they started!
All that being said, they were quick and did a great job, I would have preferred to give 3.5 stars but rounded up since the mani was very good. Will only update if the polish chips or anything before it should.

My favorite place. I’ve been coming here for at least 4 years. Great service, great quality. Have had much higher price spa services and have always wanted to come back to nails Studio.
