Lotus Spa and Nails

My favorite nail spot to go to. They are kind, professional, and do a really great job!

Got a gel manicure. Place is nice and clean. Very kind workers. Did an excellent job. I will be back!

I loved my experience at Lotus. It’s not super close to my home, but it was a great meeting spot for one of my girlfriends and I to have a girl’s night. We walked in and the place is decorated really nicely. Warm colors that draw you in and just say «spa» and «relaxation.» The prices were comparable to other (not so great) salons. From what I could tell, this was also an Asian run nail salon, but the people that gave us our pedicures were speaking English very clearly and carrying on conversations with us both. My feet looked and felt great when I left the salon. Thanks for a great experience! We’ll make another girl’s date soon and it’ll be there.

I come to Lotus for everything. I love it. Everyone is so nice and truly cares about their customers. I can say I go in there at least once a week for different services. I’ve had experience with many spas and this is my all time favorite place in Indy. Minh is excellent and I specifically go to her for facials, waxes, and other personal services. She is very professional, friendly and her work speaks for itself. The pedicures always end in a hot stone massage and it’s amazing! The chairs have multiple massage options and are definitely quality as well. I’ve never had a bad experience and I’m confident knowing that they want every customer to be 100% satisfied. I highly recommend making an appointment because they are a popular place. Go support Lotus because it is so worth it!

I recently moved to Broad Ripple and was looking for a place to get a good, reasonably priced pedicure. After trying a few other places I came across this place on Unilocal and this has become my pedicure home. This place is always busy but I never have to wait very long. The technicians are friendly and they know what they are doing. I always get a high quality pedicure that lasts and it is very relaxing. Prices are comparable to other nail places in the area.

I booked a ladies night for my coworkers and I, 5 pedicures. Our party started 10 minutes late, our fault (late arrival.) But, they didn’t have enough techs to take everyone in the shop. Three of us were able to have our toes done immediately, but the other 2 just sat in lukewarm water. It appeared they had really overbooked, people just kept walking in the door.
The actual quality of the pedicure left a lot to be desired. All 5 of us agreed we all still had rough feet. My husband actually commented on how sloppy my toes looked if that tells you anything! One of my coworkers has had recent issues with blood clots in her legs and had to repeatedly ask her tech to stop massaging her legs. It was apparent the tech wasn’t listening and couldn’t care less.
Initially I was excited, they do have a nice selection of polishes (primarily OPI and China Glaze) and everyone was polite, but we won’t be returning unfortunately.

In the past, this has been a good mani/​pedi spa, but I won’t go back. I took my 4.5 year old daughter with me for my gel mani, and got her a pedi because they have a cute kid-​sized station and have done a good job in the past. Well her polish was almost entirely off two days later — I don’t think the lady gave her two coats let alone a top coat. And this morning, less than a full week after getting my gels, my thumb polish is peeling off. I’ve never had a gel mani last less than 2 weeks. Ridiculous.

I don’t know if I can say enough nice things about this place. Let’s just put it this way. They offered to come in early on Mothers day in order to accommodate mani-​pedis for myself, my mother and sister. I think that is amazing and while I know that not all establishments can always accommodate the fact that they did for me on such a special day really made it all worth it for me. Plus everyone was nice and the prices were very reasonable.

I love coming here with the hubby, we get pedicures side by side and love the atmosphere, staff, massage chairs and services. Plus they have a variety of colors. It is very clean and colorful. And the kids pedicure chair is adorable! Chow is one of my favorite nail techs, she’s very personable and sweet.

Pretty rude. I went in 20 minutes before closing time and no one was at the desk. I sat down and waited and eventually some blonde girl with freckles came over and rudely stated that they «don’t have time».
A.) There should have been a sign posted about such a rule (although she was probably just lazy).
B.) There should be etiquette when dealing with potential customers (there are too many nail places for me to ever consider going back there).

Horrible manicure and pedicure today.
1^st, I made an appointment online and I could tell they had no clue and had not checked their online booking system. However, they were able to accommodate us. Mani pedi was rushed; she did not clean toes or fingers as well as should have been. Nail polish was messy and all over toes. I had previously had gel polish on my nails and she did not remove it all prior to polishing so now you can see specs of gray through my pale pink polish. Awesome. I also asked her to clean up the cuticles a bit and she snipped «I haven’t finished yet». Manicure was so inconsistent; why soak one hand and not the other? I also showed her a piece of string stuck in one polished nail and she said «where I don’t see it» when it was very visible. I showed her four times before just leaving frustrated. Just re-​do the damn nail!
I chose this place because of the reviews on Unilocal and I am so disappointed. I will never return.

I was so excited to get another fill + gel nails here! Disappointed. I was rushed, treated like a nuisance, and my nails are unevenly shaped. I don’t even want to look at my nails too closely. I guess I’m on the hunt for a nail spa… again. PS I went back in after I inspected my nails in the car to see if they would fix the round nails mixed in with my dagger shaped nails and they acted like I hadn’t been there 3 minutes earlier and were rude. Ugh.

This nail salon is fantastic! I just went and got a gel mani and signature pedi – both are amazing. I love this place for a few reasons: they’re open on Sunday, they have a huge array of colors to choose from for gel (which is rare) AND you can schedule an appointment through their website! Everyone is very kind, helpful and professional – I would definitely recommend them!

Just when I swore off manicures…
Unilocal, I’m going to tell you something: it’s been a long week. I decided to treat myself to a Friday night mani/​pedi, and after reading every review for every nail salon in the metropolitan area, I finally just gave up and picked Lotus… Best. Choice. Of. My. Life.
Walk-​ins are welcome, but I’d recommend booking your appointment online. When I arrived (early, as usual), my chair was already waiting on me. The website said that they only had pedicures available, but they were more than happy to let me add on a manicure. The guy (I didn’t get his name, and I regret it) was hands down, the most congenial person I’ve ever worked with at a nail salon. We chatted like we were best friends. I’m pretty sure we were by the end of it.
The salon itself was so much better than any I’d ever been to before, and I’ve been to a lot. It didn’t smell like a typical nail salon (you know the one I’m talking about), and there wasn’t a black office chair in sight. Oh, and as if things couldn’t get any better, they were playing Boyz II Men.
The price was great ($ 39 for both) and I can’t wait to go back. I would give it a 4.5 star review because my heels aren’t as soft as they usually are after a pedicure, but honestly, everything else about it was worth 5 stars or more. They were quick but didn’t feel rushed, super kind but didn’t talk your ear off, basically everything I’d ever want in a nail salon. Bottom line: if you get a pedicure to make your feet feel like cashmere, this might not be your place. If you go because it’s a nice luxury and you want to have a nice time, go. Immediately.

Clean and earthy tones walls. Comfortable pedi chairs. It’s a bit dusty but it’s cozy. Vivian is the best. She’s friendly, competent, funny and warm. She’s the only one I liked. THE ONLY ONE. And the only person I will be willing to work with.
I came here once before and have tried 5 other salons in the area and this is the only place that I like.
The other workers though… Not so much. I walked in and everyone is on the phones and giving me nasty looks when I walked in, except for Vivian.
I told her that I’ll be going back to Lotus and only to her. She worked well with what she has to fix. My broken acrylic nail set had to get taken off and got a gel manicure. I love my end results thanks to Vivian.

Not impressed Unilocal!I’ve been steered ill by your reviews.
So I actually live downtown — and if you have ever searched for nail salons downtown on Unilocal — you know there is basically nothing (that doesn’t have terrible reviews.) I decided to take my chances in driving 25 because of the generally positive reviews you all have left me to read. Well this day, my friends, Unilocal was not very accurate.
I got a pink & white full set. I know pink & white is more difficult, but if you can’t do it — then just don’t. The salon didn’t have the appropriate tools for the job and my nails ended up having white lines in the center of all of them from the gel not being taken all the way off before the pink was applied. I also had ridges in my nails — where they were actually like scratchy. So for $ 50 — this was a blow! DON’T DO PINK & WHITES.
Then my pedicure — the guy put like 5 – 6 coats on my toes. So even after waiting 25 minutes to dry before I left, I got home, and they were already WRECKED. Not like a little messed up, but WRECKED. So that was $ 25, also down the drain. (To their advantage, the rest of the pedicure was good — just not the nail polish.)
Now I gave this place two stars because the facility was nice and with a reservation, I did not have to wait long. My nail tech didn’t talk much — which is okay. And the pedi gentleman, talked too much — which is also okay. So the staff there are decent — but the jobs they do… not so bueno.
Will not return.

Finally a nail salon I can get behind and actually feel confident in recommending to my friends! You can’t beat the prices — $ 28 for a gel manicure and $ 26 for a pedicure is pretty good in my book and close to the cheapest I’ve found in Indy.
The staff are all pleasant and professional and my nails go several weeks without chipping when I get the gel polish. The hot stones at the end of the pedicure are an excellent touch.
As far as I’m concerned, Lotus is the only nail spot in Indy for me. I live downtown now and will make special trips up north just to go here.

Um can you say epic spot for girl’s night out?!?
My dear friend Jess and I were in dire need of a night of pampering and feeling pretty. As any good Unilocaler would do, we turned to our beloved site to seek out the perfect spot for such an evening and I have to say, you guys did not disappoint us!
This cozy little spa is conveniently located right on 62^nd street near Keystone… aka right next to the Ripple and around the corner from this Unilocalers home (dangerous!!). Unlike most nail salons, what I absolutely loved about this little place was how stylishly it was decorated. You felt right at home among the warm color schemes and giant, comfy massage chairs… and to top it off you could even order a glass of wine to find the ultimate relaxation zone!
Jess and I had set up an appointment for 5:30pm. When I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to find my chair already set-​up and waiting for me with a lovely warm, swirling pool for my toes. My stylist was a pleasant chap who made several humorous comments and was highly efficient with his work.
What really blew me away here Unilocalers was the price. For a half hour pedicure AND hot stone massage, our little night cost us a whopping… wait for it…$ 25! Seriously you cannot beat this price! I will most definitely be soon labeled a regular at this establishment and will happily support pretty toes all year long!

My Mom and I decided last minute to stop in on a Saturday late afternoon. I was worried about how busy they might be. We were greeted as we stepped in the door and told it would be just a few minutes.
There were 6 – 8 employees working pretty hard. I got a pedicure and it was pretty great and relaxing. She even used hot stones as one point. I’d never experienced that before!
My Mom got a shellac manicure and was really happy with the results. All evening she kept commenting on her nails. She said it was the best shellac manicure she’s had in awhile.
I also thought the place was really clean and tidy compared to one other nail salon I have been to. I’m not too savvy in nail salons or anything, but I definitely think this is a great option.

Thank you, Unilocalers, for referring me here! I sifted through many a review while trying to find a local nail place that had both quality and reasonable prices – living downtown, it’s harder than you’d think! After expanding my map a bit, Lotus popped up. I have to say, this place reminds me so much of my former salon in Houston, and I love that!
The purchase: «basic» spa pedicure
Price: $ 26
What you get: a cushy massage chair that works realllly well, polish, salt scrub and hot stone massage, hot towels, beverage of choice.
Not bad for their simplest option! My nail tech was friendly, took his time, didn’t cut me, and made sure I was happy with my nails before I left. Everything I could ask for from a nail salon! I will definitely come back – It’s worth a few minutes more of driving time for the price and the quality.
