Nail Designs

Every time I visit Colorado Springs and when there is time, (usually always) I come here to get a pedicure. This trip I got both a mani and pedi. Each time I’ve come they’ve ALWAYS been super busy. They were able to get us in chairs in less than 5 minutes. The quality of their work always meets expectations.
Their staff most especially I’ve noticed even more this trip is that they are very personal with what it seems to be like regular clients. Meaning they have this bond and friendship with their regulars which just tells you why people keep coming back to this place. Their staff is just awesome.
One of the gals that worked on my uncles toes right off the bat was funny and joking with him. This was his first pedicure ever.
Overall I love coming here.

This place is THE BEST in town. Hidden «secret». It’s always packed, but they move fast and do an excellent job for the cheapest rates in town!

First time visit an hour before close on a Friday night and I created this account to share how satisfied I am! It was busy but I got seated right away for a gel manicure. The tech did such a good job and did exactly what I wanted (solid color w sparkle ombré tips). Took 45 min, great attention to detail. Then had a pedi where the tech matched my nails exactly (regular paint to match gel!) I figured she’d rush me since it was almost 7, but not at all. A customer even came in at 7:30 and they took her like it was no big deal. Best part, it was only $ 50! Let’s hope the next experience is consistent and I’ll be a forever customer!

Sonny does great nails and I would recommend him! I usually get in when I request an appointment, but it’s about a 2 hour process if you are getting your nails and a pedicure done. It is always super busy!

If I could give Nail Designs a zero score, I would. My friend and I made an appointment together for pedicures. We had to wait over 30 minutes for our appointment. Then they wanted to do our pedicures at separate times because they only had one chair available. The whole purpose of scheduling pedicures together was so that we could visit. We waited another 10 minutes until they could accommodate us. Sarah did my pedicure. She told three times to place my drink in the cup holder. I would have obliged, but the pedicure chairs are so close; I think the woman sitting next to me would have accidentally knocked my drink over. I mentioned this problem to Sarah, and she finally stopped bossing me. Sarah cut the toenails on my big toes very short and crooked. She also accidentally painted the skin on my big toe with polish. When I noticed the issue, I couldn’t find Sarah. I asked for some help. The owner was very rude and said she would find Sarah. They both said I caused the problem, but that Sarah would fix it; then they spoke to each other in Vietnamese and rolled their eyes. Wow! Really? Does Sarah know she works on tips? After the pedicure, Sarah told me the price and ushered me to the nail drying station. She told me the price five times. I don’t know if she realized that I was carrying my purse, drink cup, and my shoes. How was I supposed to pay her with my hands full? When I sat down, she told me the price again. I paid her in cash, but she didn’t give me a receipt. Then Sarah disappeared again. I asked the owner for a receipt, and once again, she was extremely rude. She finally found Sarah. I was told I couldn’t get a receipt because I paid in cash. After some «discussion,» I finally received a receipt. I will never go back to Nail Designs again. I don’t know why people say that this salon is always busy; maybe they do not know there are other great salons. Go to the mall. It’s more expensive, but it is worth the price to get great service.

11am on a Wednesday and this place was packed full! People with appointments were pressed along the front window, quietly sitting and waiting. I didn’t have an appointment and suggested getting one to the owner lady who greeted me. She asked if I could hang a bit and said they could fit me in.
After a 20 minute wait I made it to the pedicure chair and I’ve got to say, I was really satisfied with the service. For only $ 21 I got a good, efficiency pedicure with hot towels and enough scrubbing to soften up my heels. I didn’t have to small talk the nail tech, though she was perfectly friendly. (Nothing against her – I just prefer to read or look at my phone when I’m getting my nails done.)
I usually take my own nail color to the salon, but this time I was stoping in on a whim. Their color selection was fine with plenty from brands like Essie, OPI and China Glaze. If this spot wasn’t so far away from my part of town, it might be in the running for my regular nail salon – it’s worth the short wait, but maybe not always worth the 30 minute drive.

Sonny does great nails. Takes forever to get in even with an appointment.
One day I had called to get an appointment and they confirmed that I was okay. Waited 20 minutes to get into the chair then when I was in the chair he told me there was someone else in front of me. I left and went somewhere else and won’t go back again.

I brought my almost 90 year-​old Grandma here for a shellac French manicure. They treated her with so much respect and did such an excellent job. She was immensely happy afterwards.

This is one of the best salons in the springs! Great prices! Amazing nails! They’re usually busy so an appointment is definitely recommended! The only negative part is during my last visit they made me file my own nails to break the shellac seal with a regular file which resulted in shavings all over the black outfit I was wearing. A bit unprofessional to ask the client to do their nails themselves when they’re paying to have the service done and they chipped after a week this last time around.

I’m very disappointed today. I come to this salon on a regular basis. Today I came in to just get a nail fixed. I have been sitting here waiting for about 40 minutes. Watching 2 people who came in after me go ahead of me. I understand they make less money to just fix a nail. That’s no excuse to make me wait behind everyone else. I’m still waiting. we will see how much longer. ok so after a 45 min wait they tell me to sit in a chair. 15 mns later I’m still waiting and was told they would be right w me. I left at one hour of waiting to get a nail fixed. Thank you.

To get an eyebrow wax this is definitely not the place to go. I went this past Saturday and the lady (only one person does it) and she said my eyebrows could t be fixed or shaped. She was such in a hurry and told me I should be thankful that she took the time she did. Never again would I recommend going there to get your eyebrows done. This place is great to get your nails done but I wouldn’t choose her. She sits right by the door. I ended up going to another place who did them beautifully and didn’t charge me because they saw how she messed up on them. The only business this place will get is for my nails. And even now I’m starting to look elsewhere for that.

Had my nails done yesterday by Lee the owner and I LOVE my nails. I posted two pictures of my nails as well to show them off! These guys are super busy but so worth the quality work!

Favorite place to go to in the Springs! Their prices are very reasonable and the people there are very friendly! They always do such a good job and are always busy which is a good sign. This is the only place that I have consistently had good service and do an amazing job. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get their nails done.

Loved this place! They are so friendly and even though they were very busy, I didn’t have to wait more than five minutes! My nails look great too! I won’t be going anywhere else from now on! :)

Wow! This salon lives up to there rep. I’ve always heard they were always super busy and sure enough they were! The technicians are kind and take pride in there work with an exceptional time getting it done. They are very organized with who does or can do what. Definitely a great place to get ur nails and toes done but make sure u have time CUZ u may have to wait for a little bit but not to bad.

I came here because of the good reviews on here and they’re like two minutes from my home, and boy was it worth it! I normally go to the beauty bar downtown, but will never go back down there after coming here. I got a fill for my acrylics, fixed a break on one, and changed the color of my tips, all for only $ 30! Beauty bar would’ve been at least $ 40, probably more. It’s pretty small in there so I can’t imagine it being more packed than it was when I went in, which wasn’t very packed at all. But the techs were so nice and talked to you the whole time, even when you were waiting. They let me sit In one of the pedi chairs to watch football while I was waiting which was nice. They have a good selection of gel/​shellac and powder colors. This will definitely be my go-​to nail salon!

Everyone at this nail salon is SO friendly! They take pride in their work and have exceptional customer service. This is my second time there and the ladies remembered who I was and said they missed me (it had been 3 months) I highly suggest this for anyone who is looking for quality work, exceptional service and low prices!
Also, I would recommend calling ahead because this is a popular place. And to bring cash for tip as there isn’t an option when you check out :)

I love this place!!! I was not a nail person before but after going here, I haven’t missed a visit in 2 years. They do shellac for me & sometimes I can wait 3 weeks before needing a new color. Great price!

The hunt for a new nail salon is my least favorite part of moving. A friend brought me here, the fact that they were busy actually made me excited because I knew they were good! The entire staff is super friendly and all do a wonderful job. They also have great prices! I would make an appt, but they are good about letting you know how long the wait is or if you should come back, which many places won’t do… You just sit for an hour frustrated not knowing how long or being acknowledged! They have a Million colors of gel polish also and really have it down to a science when it comes to the application and removal. I have had some terrible manicures in my time to know a great place when I finally find one!

$ 20 for a basic pedicure and they do everything and more than you get at most places for $ 30. The place was packed, but the wait was only 5 minutes. Several people who came in were greater by name, and there were many repeat customers in there when I was there. I was made to feel welcome and like family and they called me by name several times, including when I left. I will definitely be returning!!!
