Envy Nails And Spa

Perfectly done red manicure for $ 12.50. Sandra did a fantastic job. And the salon is nice and without the usual chemical smell

I will never ever return. The lady doing my pedicure was on the phone the entire time. The white nail polish I got on my fingernails turned yellow and started bubbling before I even walked out of the door. It was clearly old. I needed my nails to look nice for a date later that night so i had to go buy new nail polish and re paint my nails myself. The water that I was given to soak my hands in for the manicure was ice cold. The place doesn’t seem very clean… Worst manicure and pedicure I’ve ever had.

I have been getting gel manis for a few years, and regular mani pedis for about 25 years, from all kinds of different places, in different states and countries, and I have to say that Ann is
. nail tech. Her calf massages are a-​friggin-​mazing (I mean really, best ever, better than a pro massage), my feet and toes looked great when she was done, and her manis are just as good — really neat and pretty. Go (one of the managers) is very very friendly and does a very nice mani as well. I work in a conservative environment so I don’t do designs, so I can’t vouch for those, but if the quality is anything like Ann’s manis and pedis, they will be quite beautiful.
The salon is much easier on the eyes than your average walk-​in nail salon, though you can’t really tell until you walk in. It is very calming and relaxing, and the paint and décor is classy and well done, not that cheap trying-​to-​look-​expensive-​by-​painting-​over-​eight-​layers-​of-​cheap-​paint and fake dollar store plastic flowers. The bathroom was clean, stocked, and well decorated. They so not use soft soap in the pump… I hate the smell of that stuff!
I can vouch for Ann and I can vouch for Go. If you can get in with Ann for a pedi, it is well, well worth the trip. This place is right up the street from my new house, so I’m really excited to have found a good salon with a really great tech!

I brought my staff for a company outing here, and what a great afternoon we had! They allowed us to bring a bottle of wine, took a group photo for us, and treated each of my employees great! The staff is friendly, and the pedicures felt amazing. We will most definitely be back :)

Love this place. very calming and pretty! I got my pedi and gel done. Feels like I got a new pair of feet. I don’t know why there are bad reviews must’ve been from old techs that worked there bc they’re pretty good and friendly!

This place is gorgeous! First of all it is so peaceful, not just that, I got my nails done with beautiful gel colors with such beautiful, awesome designs! Seriously, the designs are all done by hands but they all look like stickers!!! I will post them upp! They are very talented, they can do all different kinds of design, my niece brought photos of nail art from pinterest, instagrams, etc, …as long as it’s hand drawing!
The pedicure is a MUST! They have very nice piano instruments, very relaxing! They also serve wine if you come in for two deluxe pedicures!
Im definitely bring my girlfriends for our bachelorette party in the spring! Thank you, thank you so much Envy nails!!!

Why can’t we give negative stars? Got false eye lashes put on here and they glued my eyes shut. Literally. They then went to my eyes with scissors! Can we say not safe? Then when the lashes started falling out, so did my REAL lashes. I had bald eyelids for 3 months. Just don’t do it. DON“T GO THERE! I think i’ve learned my lesson :(.

I have been getting my nails done every two weeks for a very long time and in the process I have visited many nail salons in the area. I live in Kensington and when I saw this new place had opened I immediately wanted to give it a try… definitely should’ve read the Unilocal reviews first. The absolute WORST NAIL SALON EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD! The nail technician I had literally acted like she had never worked on acrylic nails before. She continually would stop and seemed incredibly confused on the next step to do. She didn’t even remember to file them until another woman reminded her AND when she did finally do it she filed them completely unevenly so now my nails look way too thin to look even remotely good. To add insult to injury, when I politely pointed this out all she did was continue to work on my nails without acknowledging my issue. She also couldn’t even paint my nails «inside the lines» I actually had to clean it up myself with nail polish remover and a Q-​tip when I got home! Like other reviewers have said, it has currently been only about 5 days since my visit and my nail polish is already chipping all over the place! I have never had even remotely close to this horrible an experience at a nail salon in this area and I never want to again! I now have to pay extra to get all my acrylics removed and re-​done because this lady absolutely ruined them! AVOID AT ALL COSTS! And a word of advice to the owners; hire women who actually know what they are doing or else no amount of pretty décor will save your shop from going out of business!

2 stars only becus the lady did a fairly decent job wit my gel mani, and my pedi. A job tht usually cost $ 65ish ws only $ 45ish here.
What I did notice, unlike other salons there ws no «atmosphere». For a first time guest, my tech didn’t welcome me at all. They literally handed us the tv remote, as if we cld just entertain ourselves. My tech literally looked like she didn’t want to be there, and my friends tech ws face timing DURING his mani.
Thn they actually used hand soap doing my pedicure. Softsoap to be exact. And if tht wasnt enough… they proceeded to clean to pedicure bowl with it as well! No Clorox or nothing! I ws digusted, bt my pedicure ws over by tht time, so I jus kept it cool. Not to mention the top of my foot itches, I cld only imagine why.
Will I go back? Mayb not.
#you get wat you pay for

So I came here on a Sunday and they only had 2 people working… with that being said I waited a long time but it was worth it. Even though they were busy the took there time and did an excellent job. Ive had acrylic tips for 8 years and decided to let my nails breathe so i had them take off my tips and I did the mani pedi for 25 and they turned out great even though my nails are thin as paper. I will come back here now doubt. Very clean and super nice staff.

I am very disappointed in this place. You would think that since they just opened they would be focused on customer service. However, I had a terrible first experience. Two of us went in last week to get pedicures and were told it would be a ten minute wait. There were plenty of pedicure chairs, but not enough staff apparently. That was no big deal so we agreed to wait. In a couple minutes were were taken to two chairs and they set up the foot soak. We actually sat there waiting so long that the water got cold and they had to refill it. Finally one person came over and started on my partner. I continued to wait and occasionally someone would come over and say «a few more minutes» (The carrot on a stick approach). Finally after about 45 minutes I took my pruned feet out of the soak, got up and walked out. It is really disappointing because we are local and would have been repeat customers. I will not be back.

I was so excited for a new nail salon in Kensington, but was really disappointed with my mani/​pedi at Envy this past weekend. While the décor was nice my technician really had no idea what she was doing and the processes for a hygenic manicure were not adhered to. The same towel used to wipe nail polish remover off my nails was used to wipe my hands off again after filing. She clipped my nails with an acrylic nail tool, causing my natural nails to peel. The nail clippings were then left on the towel which were rubbed on my hands AGAIN. After lotion was put on. She used a tool for gel nails to push my cuticles back causing ridges in my natural nails. At this point I really REALLY should’ve piped up to a manager. Oh well.
There was another technician there that was serving as the manager that seemed more on top of things. Another technician was on her phone folding towels next to me the entire time I was getting a manicure.
The pedicure chair was really nice, but my actual pedicure was awful.
I’m very disappointed. I won’t be going back, even with the 24.00 mani/​pedi promotion. I guess you get what you pay for.

New business, just opened on Friday! Fantastic job on my toes, once I’m done adding them to Unilocal I’ll get my manicure! :) still pretty bare bones, but will offer hair, massage and facial services as well within about a month.
I’ve been in a few times since this first review, and I’ve had great experiences every time. I came in today and it’s the first time I’ve ever had to wait. My regular pedicurist isn’t here today, so I’m hoping for the best.
