Nice Nails

Awful pedicure… did not file my toe nails after clipping, 2 seconds of buffing, no top coat… Looks like I pay $ 25 for nothing.

Got a french shellac. Instead of the traditional stark white she put a really pretty, sheer sparkling pink on top. She added a thin line of silver under the white tip. Add a cute white heart for Valentine’s Day, love it!!!

I was a walk-​in customer today. First visit today. I’ve been searching for a good salon in Fort Collins that works with acrylics and designs. I was very pleased with my first visit. I’ll post another review after next visit.
************UPDATE*********
Rethinking my original review. Been there several times since. Problem one — my husband is diabetic and went for pedicure. He struggles to work on his own feet so he goes to have his nails trimmed and calluses removed. The girl working on his feet cut his toes while trimming nails.
And my acrylic nails have had at least one pop off within a week of being done. I never had that problem with my salon in Illinois. Also — I can’t seem to get the same person. Always different.
My search for a decent nail salon in Fort Collins continues. *sigh*

I waited 35 minutes despite calling ahead and making an appointment. They were rude and it felt unprofessional. They were quick moving and did not communicate with me to really understand what I wanted.

For Pete sake! What great people! I had a last minute pedicure. Very unprepared, means i didn’t shave my legs! I’m single, I sleep alone — it keeps me warm at night. This wonderful woman powered through the leg massage like a champ! :) Bless you and thank you! Then the guy directing traffic inside when and bought donuts and offered every patron one. They offered drinks; soda and water, etc. I highly recommend you get your paws and claws done here. You won’t be sorry. :) Thank you again Nice Nails!!!

Everyone at the salon was very friendly and accommodating. Alex was fun to chat with as he did my nails. He did a great job! Usually manicures involve hand/​arm massage but this didn’t happen. Also, my shellac polish has chipped after just 4 days, pretty bummed.

Overall good experience– polish on nails a tad sloppy cut my nails a little too short and hand/​calf massage was weak, but very friendly and reasonably priced.

Decided to get a manicure while husband was meeting with a client, and gave this place a try based on reviews & proximity to the Marriott where we were staying. The salon was average, cleanliness may be an issue… I never saw them exchange tools or sanitize between clients. Wait wasn’t bad, a gentleman working was very nice made small talk with customers, funny and pleasant (that’s the only reason I gave 2 stars). My nail tech, Amy — was ok, way too aggressive — hey these are natural nails, not acrylics!!! The mani was very reasonable $ 11 but the design a whopping $ 10, ok I’m not cheap, but for what I got a total rip. Beware and ask about charges ahead of time, and make sure they use sanitized tools.

What a great salon for a big group. We had 6 of us come in for a girls bachelorette weekend kick off. They sat all of us together and got everyone’s pedicure done around the same time. We were able to bring in our own sparkling drinks and they helped us take pics and celebrate. It was a great choice for the start of our weekend.
The pedicure was very through. I loved the mineral scrub and the hot towels. It was very relaxing and my nails looked great!

Pros: great price for excellent work. Tara did a fantastic job on my nails. She is a perfectionist and really listened to what I wanted. The owner suggested I get a pedicure too even though I hadn’t planned on it. I agreed. The massage chair was so nice! A different person did my pedicure and her name was Kim. She did a great job. The owner even offered cookies and water/​soda. They also have a punch card so there are opportunities to save by being a loyal customer.
Cons: although Kim did a wonderful job her etiquette ruined my whole visit. I was so happy and felt relaxed but as soon as I payed I gave Tara a cash tip and had to give Kim a tip with my credit card. She had the audacity to ask me why I wasn’t giving her cash too… I could not believe she confronted me about it. I simply did not have anymore cash! I didn’t even plan on having a pedicure in the first place. Second, I was tipping her 20% so why should she complain? I could not believe it. I will continue going there but I will request anyone other than Kim.

I have been coming here for two years now. By far my favorite salon in FOCO. Angel is great and very creative and Henry is always good for a laugh. They are the owners. Pricing is reasonable and I have never had a hard time scheduling an appointment.

This place is awesome. I’ve been going here for almost a year, and I have never been disappointed. Everyone is so polite. I always do walk in appointments and I have never had to wait for a manicure. The prices are extremely fair, I’ve had a set last me over three full weeks. They have an excellent selection of different colors, powders and tips, and they can do really pretty designs. This is the only nail salon in Fort Collins that is worth it’s salt. I will not go anywhere else.

Great place to get nails done– I’m from out of town and looked then up on Unilocal… Very happy w the service and would go back! Extremely friendly staff and considerate of your preferences/​styles.

This is by far my favorite nails salon in town.
The technicians are friendly, assertive, listen to exactly what you want and do a really great job.
It’s easy to get in as they are well staffed.
Pricing is reasonable.

Called ahead of time for a gel manicure and got in no problem. I don’t think they put me down in their books for an actual appointment but started to get lots if walk-​ins after I arrived so I’m glad I got in when I did. (At 4 on a Friday.) Typical Asian-​ran nail salon– it’s nothing super fancy but they are quick, and they get the job done nicely. The gentleman helping me was nice, talked a little and asked if I liked it (which thankfully I did– I always hate saying no). The sign said gel manis are $ 35 but the guy charged me only $ 30 (I think I got an Asian discount ;) ha. I kid, but I’m always down for paying less than what I thought I’d be paying). I was in and out in about 35 – 40 minutes. I’ll probably go back because the location is convenient and prices are what you would expect.

This place was okay. I give it a 3.5. The ladies were nice enough and didn’t bug me with awkward conversation. They were quick and got the job done.

Alright, this place is by no means fancy. However, drinks were offered and the tv was tuned to something interesting. I received an acrylic full set and a manicure. I wasn’t pressured to receive any additional services and was treated kindly. My nails turned out wonderful because of the high attention to detail my tech had!
Their hours are great (open until 8 during weekdays!) for a working person or college student. Prices were awesome compared to many salons in town.
Again, not spa quality atmosphere, but my nails are absolutely wonderful!

Excellent service, professional and fun environment. My nails and toes always look amazing thanks to Courtney. She will do any color, combination, design I want. When I don’t know what I want she is very creative and her recommendations always exceed expectations. Angel and Henry are wonderful. Henry always knows how to make you laugh. I recently moved to Fort Collins and CO from NY. I never expected to find a great nail salon so close with exceptional service. Thank you everyone at Nice Nails for my fabulous nails and toes.

I have been going to nice nails for over a year now. Great service & great people. I’ve never had an issue. I always get a full set and fills. A full set is $ 40 – 55 (depending on the type of tip… I always get designs) and fills are $ 25. Check this place out!

My friends and I came on a bad day. The men giving us manicures & pedicures were more interested in watching the Italy/​Uruguay soccer game on the television than they were in giving us service.
The man giving my manicure grew impatient removing my glitter polish and pulled out this automatic saw type thing and it caused my finger to bleed (he had already made my previous finger bleed). I was so nervous the entire time. He never apologized, he said an expletive when making me bleed the second time. It was NOT relaxing and more like being in a horror film.
When I got to the drying station, I finally was reunited with my friend (they did not sit us together for manicure even though plenty of tables available) and she revealed her bloody story. She said the man was watching the soccer game as well.
We didn’t get a hand massage either and there was no proper cleanup of the blood during manicure, only after he finished filing both hands was I able to wash off.
Manicures should be relaxing. We felt like a burden. A woman manicurist had to tell the men to offer us a drink. That was nice of her to notice and the highlight of visit, sadly…
Sorry to ruin your soccer game, guys! Hope the team you bet on won. We did bleed for it, after all.
