Ivy Nails

Stay away. Seriously. The guy who did my nails was so rude. He yanked my arms around and cut two of my fingers to the point of them bleeding. Then he yelled at me for talking and snapped when I flinched in the slightest. He also tried to scam me into upgrading to gel. We asked to be seated together but they had 4 of us spread throughout the place so it was pointless getting our nails done together. I’m disappointed that I even spent a cent at this miserable place.

Nothing fancy but they did a good job. I got a pedicure and my niece got a manicure. As of today, my pedicure still looks good. My niece chose this place because they were one of few open the day after Christmas and they had the lowest price for a full set of nails. We wanted a together experience and I didn’t realize there wasn’t a way for us to do that since the spa pedicures are in the back and the manicure stations are up front. You can get special foot scrubs for an additional cost but I didn’t. They will offer you soft drinks or water, too. My niece was very pleased with her nails. They were beautiful. She said the guy asked her before he came up with a «design» but she didn’t understand him. In the end, it didn’t matter because she loved her accent nails.
When we went, there was a winter giveaway. Spend $ 35, get a very nice bottle of massage lotion! I believe the pedicure was $ 25 and the full set was $ 35.

Unfortunately my most recent visit will be my last. I received a pedicure. The lady that did mine cut me and proceeded to take an old dirty towel to wipe the blood off and put my foot back in the gross water.
She painted my toes horribly and did not clean up the polish on my skin.
I’m disappointed because Ivy used to be the best in racine.

Absolutely thee best nail salon I’ve been to in Racine! Max and the rest of his team know what good customer service is and they implement it every single visit! Want a salon that’s more than pick a color and wait 49 minutes before someone even notices you’re there? THIS is the place! BTW don’t ask for Tammy, she’s too busy doing my nails! =)

Buyer beware. They gave me chemical burns doing a pedicure. When I told girl it burned, she sprayed alchohol on my feet– kid you not. Burns are healed but scars on tops of my feet now. When I told manager they offered me another free pedicure, not to retrain staff or pay medical bills. They’re lucky I’m not the type to sue.

My neighbor is a regular customer of Ivy Nails, Racine. And she introduced it to me. I was impressed by the sweet decoration of this salon. Everything here looked nice. Therefore, whenever I come here, I forget my sadness and the trouble in my life. A perfect space for me to relax! I had many options about the polish color. All of them attain high quality and their shine is beautiful, too. I usually asked for gel then so that my nail can be protected from the outside environment for a long time. I love the personnel here because of their elegant and humorous attitude. A happy thing is that KFC shop is on the opposite side of the 21^st Street. Hence, after leaving the salon, I get hungry and I can go there to eat chicken, which is the most beloved food of mine. Ivy Nails maybe the most beautiful nail salon I have ever come, and I am also satisfied about the service. I sure to go back!

Meh. Decided to treat myself to a shellac before going on vacation. Looks just as streaky as if I were to paint my nails on my own at home.

This is a pretty dirty little nail salon that doesn’t seem to care much at all for providing good customer service or quality of work. STAY AWAY. far, far away. There are much cleaner facilities in the area. Go to those, this one needs to go away.

I had a horrid, awful experience at Ivy Nails yesterday. I should mention I have been coming here for pedicures for about 4 years. Last time I was there, it was a bad pedicure. I figured it may have been just a bad day for the woman who did my pedicure, and nothing worth giving up on them entirely for. Well, yesterday confirmed to me that their great pedi’s are no longer available unless you get the one good person there out of probably 20+ employees.
Yesterday’s I called ahead and made a pedicure appointment. The employee (a different woman), rushed through my pedicure so fast, it was the furthest thing from relaxing or even worth paying money for. It barely lasted over 15 minutes.
She was RUDE, said literally 5 words in english to me the whole time, was annoyed when I couldn’t understand something she said to me & asked her to repeat it, and she was extremely sloppy at her work. She didn’t even let my feet soak in the water, started removing my old polish which she didn’t even completely remove. She was rough with my feet, and then barely even scrubbed my heels with the pumice scrubber. She put cold lotion on my legs when they were dripping wet, slopped it up and down and it felt so gross because it was like her rubbing water up and down my legs and feet — weird and not at all relaxing. You know it’s a bad sign when the lotion doesn’t even absorb in your skin and it looks wet — because it’s all water practically. The lady getting a pedicure next to me even noticed. I have always loved the warm towels they put on your legs there while they apply the polish — well, she literally threw it on my legs and it was SO HOT, then patted my foot, and didn’t even leave them wrapped on my legs. Same thing for my other leg. Then she made me put my feet back in the water — WEIRD — and why when I have lotion on my legs and feet and they are clean? I was furious at this point, and wanted to get out of there immediately. The woman then grabbed my nice leather strappy sandals and put them on my wet feet without drying them off and asking me first — I stopped her and asked her to dry my feet off before that, and she threw my sandal back down on the floor and gave me the dirtiest look because of it. Needless to say she barely patted each foot dry and made me put my wet feet in my nice sandals even when I asked not to. She then put on the polish SO messy — it was all over my skin around toes, and then said «go dry» and pointed to the UV dryer. Worst of all, she immediately asked me to pay, I had a card, and when she came back she stood looking over me with her hand out waiting for a tip, when I didn’t think she deserved a dime for what she just did. I told the young woman with long blonde hair who was cleaning the pedicure sinks as I left that she was awful and it was nothing but a terrible experience. She looked at me like I was crazy, and basically seemed to not care at all.
BEYOND POOR SERVICE AND I WILL NEVER RETURN.

My pedicure was nice. I felt like he rushed it and the fact that I had to pay an additional fee for sea salt seems silly. I think that sea salt should be mandatory and up the price to include it.
I was VERY impressed with the chairs. How relaxing! Even massaged my butt which is a new thing for me!

My mother-​in-​law took all the girls out for pedicures before July 4. Three adults and three kids. This salon does have 2 kids pedicure stalls. It was a little awkward when we arrived figuring out who was going where, but I couldn’t undertsand why– the reservation was made weeks ago and still we were separated. The kids had great service. I had an AWESOME pedicure– a young man did mine and it was perfect. My nails looked great. The other two adults– not so much. My mother-​in-​law had foot surgery months ago. The woman grabbed her by the big toe and pulled it. Her water was cold. My sister-​in-​law had the same problem– cold water. And they had super fast pedicures. So– their experience would be lower than the 3 stars, mine a little higher. The girls seemed to have had a great time. I’d go back, although I prefer Laguna. And my sister-​in-​law usually goes to Cali. It could have been a lot better.

I have had positive experiences until this past weekend and will NEVER be coming to this nail salon again. First I was asked to pay in cash since the credit card machine was not working and if I couldn’t to go get the cash and come back. The water for the pedicure was cold. The man doing the service had blood shot eyes and kept winking whenever I would ask him anything while chomping on his gum. He cut the side of my toe nais with a cuticle nipper and filed my heals for literally 10 seconds. My cuticles literally looked like they were hacked at. My feet looked better coming out of the garden than after getting the pedicure. I heard there were new owners, so that def explains the change. The girl that was doing nails next to me had her client soaking off here nails and then continued to use her nail to scratch off the excess acrylic that by the way fell into the pedicure unit.
