Lily Nails

I’ve never seen anyone glob and dab Shallac while applying. I was in the area with some other errands to run and swung into this place for the first and last time. I’m going to my regular salon tomorrow to have them redone the right way. It’s going to take an hour to get through this thick mess.

Very dirty — they do not use new/​clean towels for each client, do not clean files or clippers… They cut my nails down way too much and said «Oh you have thin nail…» No — you weren’t paying attention. My nails have blunt corners so they’ll break even though I asked for rounded… Only put 2 coats not 3 so not solid coverage of color and it’s lumpy/​uneven. Extremely difficult to understand them (except when they’re trying to upsell services). Nail color doesn’t even go all they way to cuticle on 3 nails so they’re going to look like crap in a week and need to be redone. I had an iffy experience here the first time but thought I’d give them another shot. It was a COMPLETE mistake — one I definitely WILL NOT repeat. DO NOT GO HERE!!!

Smaller place but they do a very good job. They have a lot of gel color options. FYI tipping is cash only!

I have gone to Lily Nails for nearly 3 years now. The service has been hit and miss and it really depends on which stylist you are assigned. Most are not friendly. Amanda is the owner and does excellent work, especially pink and whites, when you can actually get her. That said, the past two times I have been in I was given an older lady at station 8 for my shellacs. Both times they started chipping in less than a week. I have never had this happen before. I showed them to Amanda when I went back in to get a new shellac. I thought she would give me some sort of discount since I literally had two shellacs in less than 16 days. Nope, she just said if it happens again, come see her. Well, I won’t be back!

I have nothing but good things to say about this nail salon. I travel a ton for work and I try my best to wait until I’m in Iowa to get my nails done here. Amanda is the owner of the salon and she always does an impeccable job on my finger nails and pedicure. For anyone reading this review I get pink and white on my fingernails and Amanda does such a great job where it lasts me longer than anyone else has ever done it. She’s takes her time to make sure it’s perfect but it’s incredible how fast and efficient she is doing it. As everyone knows… It’s more about the person doing them and not to judge the entire salon. That said, I cannot speak of how any other nail technicians work is. They seem to do a good job on others. But I can only speak of the one person who always does mine.

Pedicure was good! Had a nail fixed and got a fill. They lady doing my nails was very rude and acted as if her doing my nails was ruining her day. There is an up charge for everything! Most usually include a design but they charge $ 5 extra for a design that I could have done better myself! Will not go back!

I was a drop in for a pedicure. They were fast, which I love. Great job. Is almost $ 30 too high for just a pedicure?

Was in town visiting and stopped by for a pedicure. They had a special for mani and pedi so I did both. It was great service. I do remember there credit card machine not working, but I did have cash.

She did a great job on my mani/​pedi and I got a lip wax and I will go elsewhere for that. She double dipped and the waxing room smelled and it looked like the blanket and pillow on the chair hadn’t been changed in who knows how long. I will definitely go back for a mani/​pedi though. She did a great job and that part of the salon was pretty clean.

$ 35 dollars for a mani/​pedi, the service was great, it’s a beautiful salon, and most importantly they did a great job. My nails look fantastic.
