Pure Nail Bar & Spa

I am new to the area, so I had to Unilocal the best nail salon. After my research, i saw that this was the best of the best that Longview had to offer– and they have certificates to prove it.
They wear name tags. This is a first for me. Just had to mention. It’s a nice place. It looks smaller than it is, but it’s larger in the back where you get pedicures. The color selection isn’t as big as I have seen in the past, but it will do (they may have more colors elsewhere).
Got here on a Monday at around 7:20. They close at 8. I looked at the menu
And was found to go for the basic pedicure for $ 28, but wasn’t sure if it came with a callous removal, so I got the $ 38 pedicure.
Nancy was my tech. From what I could gather, she doesn’t speak very good English, but it all worked out okay. This pedi came with oranges that she placed on the tops of my feet and later scrubbed my toes with (that was different). After fixing my cuticles she scrubbed my feet. The pumice stone was very small. Sanitary– because they throw those away I’m assuming, but very trial sized. It seems as if I didn’t get the full scrubbing I needed — well that my feet needed. She used the larger scraper on areas of my feet (I’m used to the whole foot getting scraped) — later she placed them in the paraffin wax. This treatment came with hot rock massage and a towel wrap
(Towels weren’t hot). An oil massage followed by a moisturizer massage (she had a two sided dish. One side with an oil (room temp) and one side with moisturizer. All the while my feet were in the paraffin.
The massage she gave my foot after she put the moisturizer on was so good!!! My goodness.
They Use torn paper towel to separate toes. I didn’t get paper sandals– maybe because it was closing time. They put my sandals back on — something I wanted anyway.
Con: small pumice stone –which could be a plus for some) NO WINE with pedicure. I’m so used to that! She did offer me water, coke or doctor pepper.
Drying the feet: this is just a personal issue for me. She didn’t know, otherwise she wouldn’t have done it. She took the towel and she «scissored» in between each toe with the towel. It wasn’t a constant sawing motion, but my toes are very sensitive– especially Mrs. Pinky. She could tell I was uncomfortable and apologized.
Pros: everything else.
Nancy was nice. I saw a tech who scrubbed the bottom of a lady’s feet to no end– I bet she’s still in there scrubbing. I’ll go to her next time, because I need a good scrubbing!!!

I love coming to this place. Definitely ask for Kim if you need a manicure. She’s amazing. Diep is the best at pedicures! She took the time to actually massage and relax me! It’s hard to find someone that actually cares! She is fantastic! Definitely coming back every two weeks!!!

So, my first time here.
Pros-​Very clean. Danny did my shellac nails; very talkative, nice and a pretty good job. A tad shakey handed today. Tommy did my pedicure, sangria, pretty cool, very quiet, great massage, great job.
Cons-​the color they matched to my nails for my toes didn’t match very well and I asked tommy to do a simple design… And it was a fail! BUT-​with that being said I will go back and NOT get a design by Tommy;)

I have been coming to Pure now for 3 ½ years! I love this place! They always treat me so well and I never have to wait. Go on the weekdays. Tuesday or wed. Is the best! I started out with the solar nails with shellac on top. They always looked fabulous and have a huge selection of shellac! For the past 5 months I have been getting the powder put on top of my real nails! I love it. My nails are now in great condition, hard and a great length! They also do not break! I can go in every 2 – 3 weeks now! I have had multiple nail techs and everyone has been great! I love the manger too! So sweet and always in a great mood! Definitely would recommend! The prices are pretty reasonable as well… love Pure!

Great place! Service was fantastic and people were friendly. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Get the Jello Shot pedi!

I’ve been there 2 separate times and both times I left disappointed.
The first time I went, I treated myself and my friend to the most expensive pedicure they offer. At $ 50 a piece, I expected to be there for at least an hour with un-​rushed technicians. My feet were NOT shown the callus treatment that i thought a $ 50 pedicure called for and the entire time the techs chatted with each other. Our «18 minute massage» was them light rubbing lotion on our legs and feet. They provided a normal nail shaping and polish job. My friend commented that she thought it was NOT worth the upgrade– $ 105 total for both pedicures.
The second time I went, my husband and I got the middle-​service pedicures… I believe it was around $ 34. The ENTIRE time the tech hick-​upped, coughed, and burped. When he wasn’t making sickly noises, he and the other nail tech chatted. The tech quickly used a pumice stone to «soften» my heals and when i could tell he was about to start the massage, I felt my heel and kindly asked if he could use the grater to remove more rough skin… He mouthed me and said «No Need, you No need». I again felt my heel and said «well they feel rough to me, if you wouldn’t mind I would appreciate it. He grabbed the grater and mouthed the entire time that i didn’t need it, «See, nothing, you no need». I was aggravated because i don’t care what he thinks, i don’t want to argue when i am paying for a service. If the customer requests something that is part of the service, they shouldn’t been bullied. The paint job on my toenails were poor at best. I am 9 months pregnant and cannot get close to my feet but I can see how thin the paint is on my toes… my husband even made a comment, and that is rare. I also received sub par service on my shellac manicure that day — rushed, poor cuticle job, and thin paint. And might i mention, He still had the hick-​ups. After another $ 110 dollars poured in to this place — I WILL NOT BE BACK AND DO NOT RECOMMEND !!

Just got a pedi by tommy and was horrible! No waiting just walked in but the whole pedi took about 15minutes! Had old polished removed and a very short soak in the bowl of cool water and a quick cuticle push back. A very short scrub and rinse and lotion. Time for polish! No toe separators, quick polish with a messy top and out the door…$ 27 thank you. The worst and the shortest I’ve ever had. Never going back!!!

Love this place. They have such great service. The jello shot pedicure is awesome. My feet feel so amazing afterwards. Repeat customer. They are also great with kids.

It was a clean place. However, I poured out over $ 100 dollars for mainucures and pedicures and the manicures looked pretty bad. However, the pedicures were heavenly!

My favorite nail salon in Longview. Variety of services and colors plus friendly nail technicians. Always clean!

My pedicure and shellac always turn out well, but I wish they would open ON TIME. It is after 9am on a Thursday and it’s cold out here!!!

If I could give no stars I would! Absolutely horrible service. Both times I’ve been there I’ve gotten makes to do my toenails and nails; they need to freaking fire all of the males in there because THEY CANNOT DO NAILS! It took 3 hours for VICTOR to fix my nails because he cut them too short and I was paying attention because I told him what I wanted and at the end I said I wasn’t happy at all. He proceeds in trying to fix them and still messes them up! They look absolutely horrible. I will NEVER be back. I am so freaking pissed.

I got my wife and 2 daughters a manicure for Mother’s Day. They were excited as I dropped them off. People were friendly but the skill of the three nail tech was far from professional. They hurt them, destroyed their cuticles and the polish job was horrendous. So much so that my wife couldn’t handle it and had them just remove all the polish and get a refund. I know they have a few good Unilocal reviews but our experience was awful and we will never return!

I got a manicure and pedicure. Waiting was not too bad, about 15 mins, I was a little disappointed in the length of my massage on pedicure it lasted about 2 minutes! But he did a nice French paint. Le did my manicure, shellac French turned out nice I just felt a little rushed too many clients! But over all it was clean!

I took my teenage stepson abs 5 year old daughter here for pedicures. The service was decent for the price. I think $ 26 for a 5 yr old to get a ‘pedicure’ & routes and fingers painted was way too much. They did a decent job on my stepson’s ingrown toenails. My manicure was nice and pedicure was too.
MAJOR ISSUE: ppl come through so quickly they don’t give the pedicure chairs long enough to disinfect… oh wait the 45 min I was back there I never saw ANYONE spray down the foot bowls with disinfectant, ever. I didn’t see any of our utensils come out of autoclave bags.

This review is for my pedicure only… The guy who did it was less concerned about the time he spent, and the quality of the service! He talked pleasantly but not too much that it was uncomfortable or unpleasant. He was very attentive and pleasant. I got the $ 31 Sangria pedicure which was amazing and I would do it again next time! The lady next to me got the $ 45 Peppermint one though, so I guess it’s all about preference. The massage chairs are nicer than ones in many other places I’ve been to. This would have to be my favorite nail spot in Longview.

i’d have to say pure is the best place in town to beautify your hands and feet. The staff was attentive and super friendly. At first i was a little skeptical about going because of the reviews on here but i’m so glad that i did. I’ve been to so many nail salons through out the years and this place is the best one yet. they spend a lot of time doing my pedicure and the massage is AWESOME! the pedicure chairs are so comfortable and the staff made me feel at home. I’m definitely coming back. Thanks pure for the awesome experience.

PURE is absolutely beautiful inside, probably because it is almost brand new. When you walk in you will notice the manicure stations and front desk. Being new to the place I asked to see the price list. The price list in my opinion is a little confusing. I was confused by the details that were provided for their services. Behind the front wall are the private pedicure stations with about 8 or 9 massage chairs. The staff are very friendly, one of then men had me cracking up the whole time! They offered me the choices of a bottle of water, glass of wine and something else.
I choose the basic pedicure which costs $ 26 (way to much for my experience). The pedicurist sold me on the gel nail polish and that cost me $ 30. So the whole experience set me back $ 64 including tip.
I highly recommend the gel nail polish, the tech did an amazing job. However the reason I gave 2 stars is because I DO NOT recommend a pedicure there. Usually where I am from when you get a pedicure they file your toe nails and use sponges in between your toes when they paint. This place did not do that at all. Yes, they scrubbed the bottom of my feet and painted but that was it. The paint job was very sloppy, he even went over the top coat with the color again but did not reapply the top coat. My nails were not filed, and I did not have any sponges between my toes to keep my nails from smudging on each other.
I think I will look elsewhere in Longview for a pedicure.

This has to be hands down the best place in all of east Texas to get a pedicure! It’s a beautiful salon and they are super friendly… some of them are outrageously funny! You get a glass of wine and all their pedicures are cocktails like their signature JELLO SHOT pedicure… you actually soak your feet in jello! So much fun! I’m coming back to try their anti-​aging (yes I need it) collagen facial because my friend had it and her skin looks amazing. Can’t wait!

Love this place! Friendly staff, many pedicure options to choose from! I chose to do Gel polish, they have a lot of colors! Pedicure chairs have back and butt massage options… Ahhhhhh!
