Mod Nails

I tried this place for the first time and will NOT repeat. The guy who did my nails had to remove my old gels first. He scraped off way too much of my nail beds and when he went to put in my new gels it was very painful. I kept asking him why it hurt and he never answered me. Another employee sitting next to us said something about me being sensitive, but I’ve never experienced that kind of pain before. Now just a few days later my nails still hurt and several have broken already. Stay away from this place.

Mod nails there hotstone pedicure is recommend services… nice relaxing pedicure ever!

I came in specifically for a gel French manicure because the sign offered a $ 25 special, and was seen by nail tech Sam. Immediately, he tells me there’s an extra $ 5 for a French manicure. Ok, false advertising. Sign said nothing about that. He tried to up-​sell me on a pedicure too, which I told him I didn’t have time for but would be back at the end of the week for. My toes had a fresh pedi just 2 days old. He kept bringing it up, and I had to keep telling him no.
So I got my manicure but noticed a couple odd things about it: First, Sam didn’t want to file or cut my nails, I wanted them cut and filed. He said that French looked best on longer nails (which I have) and reluctantly agreed to file my nails, which was a very light and half-​assed job at best. My nails were not rounded. Then he proceeds to paint the tips white but doesn’t clean up his work very well. Even though my nails weren’t rounded/​filed nicely, he paints the white half moons ok, but a closer look and you can see how unevenly they’re done.
The UV dryer was not the normal warm light, but a very dim and not warm light that he keeps having to reset every 60 seconds. Didn’t feel like my gel polish was setting.
Anyway, the whole point of getting a gel manicure is because it lasts for two weeks and looks amazing for a longtime. So after only 3 days my manicure from Mod nails looks like chippy crap. I’m sure it’s because my gel polish didn’t cute properly in the dryer.
I won’t be back for anymore services here. I didn’t like the entire experience, and I don’t like it when salons try and up-​sell me on a million other services either. I paid $ 35 including tip and to have my nails look like garbage after only 3 days isn’t worth a return. No gel polish should chip after just 3 days on multiple nails. Unacceptable.

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. Nice shop but shitty nails. I had a acrylic and gel fill done in 45 min. He made me bleed from drilling and only used one type of drill. Also the polish is lumpy and awful. O would go back for a redo but they would do an awful job again. Waste of money and empty shop.

I really liked the service. Jenny is very good. The place is very clean and they are not overpriced. I paid 45 (not including tip) for oval shaped gel acrylics.

The store has new owners. I was not happy with my service at all. I had to ask them to redo my gel mani because the technician started «cleaning» my nails post mani with nail polish remover rather than alcohol. She took the top coat right off. I won’t be going back.

Mod nails used to be wonderful! KEEP READING!
I called to make an apt with Lucy, the lady on the phone confirms the times and says «see you tomorrow.» The apt comes, I get there, I don’t see Lucy yet I say I have an apt with Lucy. The lady says Lucy isn’t here but I’ll help you. We get started, I ask where Lucy is and she says Lucy is getting married and pregnant so she is taking the month of February off. Then another employee comes in 30 minutes into my apt, she recognizes me so we chit chat. She then informs me that Lucy and Kim sold the business, and don’t come in often or at all. A piece of advice to new management, you should let your customers know they aren’t going to receive that they are asking for when they call.
I am super picky about my nails, and Lucy is one of the only ones I have liked in Vegas. The new owner did my nails and they are ehh.
It was extremely irritating to find out that I was miscommunicated with. An easy statement saying that management changed and Lucy was not available would have saved me and my money!!!

They do great nails and have the knowledge to do most designs (nail art), but not all. They sre a bit overpriced though. But i will go back (when im in town and in a bind) to ensure strong good looking nails.

Such a laid back atmosphere — I never feel rushed. I’ve been to many Vegas nail salons over the years, and while the ultra lounge look is popping up everywhere, it seems the same nail drones are still working there. The staff here is friendly and caring. No orders barked at you to ‘pick color!’ or scrubbing your foot like it belonged to a cadaver. This salon is beautiful and stylish while keeping the experience friendly and relaxed. Nora is my favorite!

I went to several nails salon before I found Mod Nail. It’s a laid back environment. Everyone is friendly and takes their time to ensure you are satisfied with your nails. I only need a fill once a month! I love this place! ;). Ask for Lucy or Kim.

I couldn’t think of any other nail salon that tops Mod. My nails are superb every… single…time. Plus they last weeks! At least 3 weeks. AT LEAST. When I get my nails done elsewhere, 6 days later they’re chipping. Not at Mod. My nails holds their integrity and there is no fading, peeling, or regrets.
The décor is, of course, modern! Cute, yellow retro chairs in the foyer. Chandeliers. Thee best OPI hand lotion sitting on top of the register counter. Kim’s station is adorbs!
Everyone is friendly and actually likes talking to their clients. I can see that they build great relationships. I got the best food recommendations from the best foodie in Vegas, Lucy!

I’m extremely disappointed in my experience here. Keep in mind a fill is normally $ 18, and I walked out spending over $ 30. They never tell you along the way if anything they are doing is more expensive! She «assumed» I was doing gel nails. We never discussed this. Right before she’s about to put the gel polish on I asked if it costs more, because I never asked for it and she was just doing it. She said $ 15 extra. I told her no I just want regular nail polish that is matte. She does it, and keeps saying «you should’ve done gel, now your nails are going to break off because I didn’t do it thick enough.» Are you kidding me? After she’s done with my nails and charged me $ 31 she tells me that matte was $ 3 extra, the nail she re-​did was $ 5 extra, and sharpening my stiletto nails was another $ 5. It would’ve been nice if I was told this along the way.

Ok so this is really a 2.5 star review.
Their customer service is 5 star no doubt however the quality of my gel mani and pedicure is def sub par. My first gel mani lasted only 5 days when it stared to raise and peel. I called and they were nice and told me to come back in and they would redo it. So after another hour of having my nails done now six days later am starting to have the same issue, and my pedicure is chipped. Usually gel nails have lasted me over two weeks well into three with no problems in the last two years.
All in all the cost is not worth what I got ($ 57 for both).

A very nice and professional response from MOD nails in regards to my review. It goes a long way.

By Sunday one more nail was peeling off. Lol. So Monday, all gel nail polish was removed and my manicure was redone.

Came here for the first time a couple months ago and fell in with the salon last couple visits. Very nice ladies, cute salon &&best thing is they don’t rush you!
Nails are perfect every time and they listen to what I want, i highly recommend this place. I won’t be going anywhere else.
Call for an appt towards the weekends, they tend to get booked;)

Loved this nail salon. First time in, Kim took care of me and I love my nails so much ! :)

I haven’t had my nails in quite a while, but needed to look nice for my vacation.
I found Mod Nails after looking through manicurists in the area and they had the best reviews.
Destiny was my manicurist and she was great. Friendly and personable, she made my experience very pleasant. My manicure held up during my trip.
I’d definitely come back again if I’m ever in need of another manicure.

UPDATE: In reply to the message by Kim
First of all, your tech DID NOT ask if it was hard gel. True, I did not know either way at the time, or that there was a difference, but she absolutely did not ask me. Second, after an hour passed and you came over, YOU ASKED HER, if it was hard gel and she said no, TWICE. You had to ask her if she was sure and then YOU took a look. Your tech clearly had no clue until you came over. Take a look at the pictures, they show how awful of a job was done. Its not hard to see that she was not knowledgeable on this type of manicure or how to remove it.
I went in for the first time to get my gel nail polish removed. They did the whole foil and cotton balls in acetone thing and my polish would not budge. 1 hour later, someone else comes over, I am guessing the owner or manager, and realizes its a hard gel polish. She explains to me that its tough to come off and it can only come off by drilling, which is fine, that is how my usual lady does it. I get home and start folding laundry. My nails feel very uncomfortable and thin. They are physically bending. Clearly a few of them were drilled too long because my whole right hand is fine. I call to ask for a refund, I am told they don’t do refunds. I explain I don’t want a store credit because I simply wouldn’t go back to get services because of the bad experience. Alright, now she can do a refund. There is construction being done on my street so I don’t want to leave and go all the way over so I ask if there’s another way to do it, without me having to show up, she rudely asks me «well how else would I do it?» Look, I don’t know it was a simple question. Bottom line, it was disturbing how long it took a nail technician to figure out it was a hard gel polish, and I was surprised in the managers sarcasm and rudeness over the phone. I am so upset I am not even going back for the refund. BAD EXPERIENCE.

I called at 11:45 am to see if I could get a walk-​in appointment and was told to come in at noon.
Such a cute salon! I was greeted by Lucy who had me sit down to look at colors and soak off my old gel manicure. The technicians are all very friendly. The atmosphere was great. I am not a picky nail person and just love having nail designs and something unique. Lucy absolutely fit the bill for my needs! I got a standard gel manicure with a nail wrap on my ring fingers.
I will be back to this salon because of Lucy and the whole experience!!!
