The Nailkeeper

My friends and I wanted to get some pedicures done so I called to see if I could get a reservation here on a Saturday at 1. They did and could get us all in at once! Perfect. We showed up and they were ready for us to soak our feet in their comfy massage chairs and plastic disposable liner clad tubs. I haven’t come across lined pedicure runs in this city before but I highly recommend it!
Only one technician was ready for us at the time but we were not in a hurry so my friends had an extra long soak while their techs finished up their prior appointments. I did notice that other people came in after us for their appointments and were kept waiting. I guess the salon was running behind today.
Our basic pedicures included trimming, cuticle work, callus removal, foot and leg scrub, polish and moisturizer.
My nails were painted carefully, no touch ups needed and it was all done quickly.
If you’re not in a hurry and need extra time to dry your toenails, they have fans set up at the drying bar.
The staff were polite and worked efficiently. I would come back to try out out some other services or for another pedicure.
I noticed they had a near program where you could come for a pedicure and your kid would be entertained with a story and snacks while they wait. It’s one Sunday a month. I’ll be checking that out with my daughters in the future.

First time at the Nailkeeper, and it was a pretty good experience. The person working on my nails was running a little late, but luckily I had a friend to keep me company.
Although we started a late she still took great care to work on my nails. I felt really bad because I’m a very restless person and she had to ask me to relax a few times.
Everyone was pretty friendly, and I’m loving my nails. I also like that they give suggestions for nail designs that match your theme/​style.

I’m surprised by all these reviews as I had a really great experience at the Nailkeeper salon. I ended up going there as I was part of a bridal party that booked a spa day here. One of the bridesmaids have great reviews and talked to the owner about booking for a private function. We were able to go on a Sunday night after close so we had the whole salon to ourselves. With the purchase of a liquor license we were able to bring in our own booze which we of course accompanied with food. The salon had a great bar-​like setup! We were all able to rotate between nails and pedis.
Now for the service. I got a set of acrylic nails with shellac. All the tools are very clean and they have a great color selection. I liked that they had a nail «legend» so that you were able to get the shape of nail that you want! The girl was very precise and didn’t mind when I wanted to interrupt here for a drink :)
I would definitely go back. The owner was great– always filling up our drinks and making sure we had a good time. She shared all the neat co ventures the salon is involved in such as yoga and pedi and reading time with kids!

I wish I had a better experience at this place.
It is right by my house and the owner of the shop did seem nice.
It’s cute inside.
But I went to get my current gel nails off and a new set. I didn’t event continue to get the new set because while taking off my old nails, the technician made my cuticle bleed.
It hurt so much. I kept telling her but she just said my cuticle was dry and put a solution on it that made it burn more.
I ended up just asking her to apply polish and left.
Sorry to say I will never be back.

Made appt for me and friend. We were greeted as soon as we got in. Very friendly. Busy place. Started with a herbal pedi, loved every second of it, sooo good. Then shellac mani with free hand design, gorgeous nails, they aren’t perfect perfect perfect like airbrush but I love them so much and getting mad compliments. Will be coming back. Thnk you Vivian and Hanna.
