Fargo Nail Spa

I wanted to come here to see if it’s as bad as the reviews. Not at all. The place was pretty full, especially the pedicure chairs, and everyone seemed to be enjoying their pedicures.
I came in for a gel manicure and was seated right away. I showed the man a picture of what I wanted and he made some suggestions and they turned out great.
I would have given this place 5 stars except:
1. No hand massage. At the end, he was busy and going between another gal and myself so I did not get the usual hand massage and I felt rushed. This seems to be almost everywhere these days though.
2. I feel $ 33 is expensive for a gel manicure, but maybe I’m just behind the times.

Today was my first & only time getting my nails done here. I walked into an empty shop, except 9 workers sitting around eating or doing their own nails. I got a pedicure & gel manicure & was not impressed at all. The water was cold, the massage might as well have been non-​existent, & the tools/​towels were not clean! All I can say is that the two people who helped me were nice enough & my nails look decent, but I would say the overall experience was average AT BEST. I’ll be going elsewhere next time!

I have been going to Fargo nails for approximately three years. Every single time I go they change the liner in the pedicure bowl. With any business there are certain people who do a better job than others. I highly recommend Kevin if you are getting a pedicure. He takes his time and does an excellent job. I would venture to say that all of the negative reviews have come from negative individuals.

I am a bit taken aback by the negative reviews. I have been going to this salon every two weeks since we moved here 5 months ago. The staff is courteous and I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes and have never made an appointment. They have a few pedicure options with additional add ons such as $ 5 paraffin wax.
I have never seen them not change the liners in the pedicure bowls.
This is my place for fills and pedicures for the next 3 years I am here.

Where to start… Let’s start by saying that Fargo Nails was my first choice when it came to my pedicure, and for some time also my fingernail needs. I was excited when they upgraded to the fully disposable pedicure bowl setup and liked the different options of pedicure packages.
However, I regret to now say that I will never go back after the accumulation of several incidents. I’ll only mention my last and worst incident which ultimately cost them my business and possibly yours.
I had only sat down in my chair when Pat, I believe was his name, began to clip my toenails. The very first toe chomped once deep into my toenail, I said ouch multiple times but didn’t want to rip my toe from his hands, as he still had the clippers over my partially cut toenail, and CHOMP– again deeper into my nail bed. At that point I shrieked and apparently got his attention. Too fucking late. My toe began bleeding, but I was particularly stressed that weekend so allowed him to continue the pedicure. I wasn’t too worried because I assumed everything was clean due to everything being disposable and it would be fine. However, I started thinking and realized that I don’t think I’ve ever seen them actually change ANY of the disposable liners or air tubes at their pedicure chairs. And that is a pretty gross thought when you know that they take a cheese grater to your feet then rinse the skin off in that bowl. So as the women in the chairs beside me finished and left I watched to see whether they were actually as clean as they let on. And of course, the liners nor tube were changed out. Who knows whether they do anything to clean their metal utensils. It’s not only negligent, but disgusting to think of.
So I’m just over here with uncomfortably short toenails hoping that I don’t get a bacterial infection under the one that he cut off too short.
Good luck.

This place used to be good when they first opened. I went a couple weeks ago and got a manicure and pedicure for an award ceremony I had to attend that night and the guy cut my toe. My toe was bleeding for like 20 minutes. This place was convenient because it’s closer to home but now I go to Spa Nails by Panera. Don’t waste your time on this place! All they care about is getting you in and out and getting paid. They do not do a quality job. You will not get your monies worth.

DONT BOTHER! I have been there three times for pink and white fills over the last six weeks. Each time they look worse than the last! Yesterday was the last time I will ever go there. The name of the girl I had do my nails was named Mai (according to the license clipped to her station) all was fine until I left and as I looked down at my nails in the sunlight, I was aghast as the unevenness of my filed nails and the the blatant rings on my nails from the last two fills. It looked as though my nails had some sort of diseased condition to them. As I was late to a meeting, I decided I would wait until today to go back and talk to Mai. She told me that what I paid for was a fill and that it is because my nails are they way they are, there is nothing that could be done! What? Really? In twenty years no one has ever said that to me! I ask about the unevenness of the nail filing and she popped out an Emory board and started filing the edges. «There! All done now!» I was stunned! She then said she would fill all of them down and redo for $ 40. That would be on top of the $ 25 I paid yesterday! With that, I told her to forget it and that I would be looking for a new place to have my nails done!

Terrible Service, I went in at 445 and was done with my «spa pedicure» by 5. The massage lasted a whole 30 sec on each foot. Very sloppy work. Will not be returning EVER.

So i have been comming to this nail place for years now and always got a perfect pedicure. This last time i went i decided to get a full acrylic gel set the guy who started doing my nails was very good and gave me what i wanted perfection. The only thing that was bad was when he began to file my nails omg! he was filing my skin away it hurt so bad and he saw that i was uncomfortable but still kept on sawing my skin away;0. Anyways besides that it was a pretty good set. A couple of weeks later i came back to get a fill i decided to let anyone do them a lady just completely jacked up my nails and the shape the gel was messy and lumpy and hella crooked i was so pissed and she put some little bows on there and she didnt even ask me where i wanted them and it was already late so i didnt want to bother with her. As soon as i walked out the bows fly off my fingernails i started crying bcuz i spent Alot! of money for a shitty ass job. I decide to go back the next morning for them to fix them. I spoke to the manager and he tried to make me feel like the bad guy for not saying anything he didnt want to redo the service and on top of that he said they looked nice. smh so i was like do whatever you got to do so he madly said okay ill do them and i was expecting not to pay for the redo but he said ill give it to u for a special of $ 10 really!!! I WILL NEVER MARK MY WORDS NEVER GO THERE AGAIN!!!

This is my go to spot for pedis. The staff is generally quite friendly. I never make an appointment and I’ve only ever waited maybe 15 – 20 minutes. I have had a few manicures. Nothing to write home about but I do love that the techs will make suggestions. I have long natural nails and they have repaired many a broken one for me for $ 3. Recently I got a gelish polish manicure which I love. It adds a layer of strength to my natural nail (and was suggested to me by one of the techs who knows I don’t want acrylic or other «artificial» nails).

Great pedi! I believe the gentleman who helped me was named Tom and he did a really good job :-) The Deluxe pedi was worth it, included the callus remover, scrub, lotion/​massage. My feet felt like new afterward lol ;-) I got there when they opened (10am) on a Thursday and by 11 they were much busier.

I only come here when I’m in town from Orange County to visit family. Mostly they do an okay job, but the customer service is ridiculous! Went in for a fill and after having my acrylics taken off decided I’d just like a mani. Only to have the nail technicians bitch and complain about me in Vietnamese the rest of the time. I know you’re talking about me! I was bothered with comments at least 5 times stating that ill just be back for acrylics in a day after or I needed to get the gel nails. After trying to explain that I use a tanning bed often, and gel nails crack without proper coverage in such. I nearly walked out because the owner kept insisting I was wrong. What happened to the customer is always right? No manners, no appreciation for the tip I left, and I’ll never go back.

I can only speak to the pedicures here because I don’t get my nails done. If you can ask for Kevin, he gives the best foot massage there! Some of the other salons push you to buy extra stuff and they are really relaxed here.

Damn! i reviewed too soon. So, just 3 days ago, i came in to get my nails done. I left a happy camper. I’m still quite happy with my toes — they’re cute & i’ve gotten a few compliments on them, which i definitely did not expect (and was a first!). My manicure… hmm. I had read charlie s.‘s review and decided to take a chance. Now i know what she was talking about. My left acrylics are longer than my right. doh. It’s not too noticeable — «unless you point it out» so says the mister. Again, hmmm… i still like them. I should have paid better attention, but shouldnt she have made them even in the first place? So, after some thought i decided to take a star away because i did pay a good chunk of money for it.
I’ll come back for pedicures again, for sure. Manicures? I’m still looking!

The pedicures here are pretty good, however fills and new sets are hit or miss. I definitely recommend Henry for acrylics. The ladies, for the most part, were friendly towards me but not everyone feels that way.
I think its a nice salon, I appreciate the nail drying section very much instead of just using little fans.
