Fantasy Nails

There very friendly and take there time but nails coming off after the second day ! Will not be going back.

DONT COME HERE. Horrible service and they can’t do nails for sh*T. Asked for french tip but because their nail polish is cheap the polish did not dry up correctly and would create surface wrinkles when it dried up. The lady with blond streaks who worked on my nails had to sand off the nail polish and reapply the polish again and the same shit would happen. She literally reapplied, sanded off, reapplied 4 or 5 times to the point my nails got so thin and messed up. She finally realized that this wasn’t going to work and suggested i painted my nails a different color. Ugh no thanks i came here to get a french tip. At this point I told her I am going to leave. She apologized so i get up and she says THAT WILL BE $ 10. I asked FOR WHAT? She said because I cut your cuticles. You messed up my nail and wasted 45 min of my time and I am left with nails in worst condition then I came in with. AND then she says ok. I am more mad at the fact that she had to audacity to charge me for cutting my cuticles when she messed up my nails.

Had my nails done twice by two different women both took there time both were very nice sets.

Worst nail salon i’ve ever been to. I had my manicure with gel serviced, the old lady finish it in less than 15mins just because another costumer came in to have eyebrows done. She did not even bother cleaning it by removing the excess cuticles even though i requested to remove them, instead she insisted it was fine. Too many bubbles, just 1 coating, terrible attitude. Worst of all worst nail spa. Dont even bother going. Im really disappointed with their service.

This review is on nails only.
I’ve come here a few times to get my nails done and I’ve never been too disappointed, they get the job done. The only thing wrong would be the weird atmosphere and unfriendly ladies doing your nails. I usually get a full set w/​acrylic and gel. The acrylics usually last about 2 and a half to 3 weeks which isn’t so bad. The last time I came however, will probably be my last time.
I walked in on a Wednesday morning since a couple of my acrylic nails fell off, and I just wanted to get the rest removed so I could have a regular gel manicure. The lady looked super confused when I told her what I wanted but I just went along with it. When she sat me down, she just started clipping my acrylic nails and trying to get them off with her own fingers… like ummm I could’ve done that myself??? It was really unprofessional seeing that they clearly have no tools on how to remove acrylic nails or any knowledge regarding that. Even I know that you’re supposed to soak acrylic nails in acetone to loosen them then use those special nail tools to remove them. The lady kept looking at me nervously as she was trying to remove them; not to mention I probably had tears running down my face since it hurt so bad. She then had the AUDACITY to say «This is going to be $ 15». UHHH NO I am not paying $ 15 JUST for an acrylic removal which you don’t even know how to do properly. The other places I’ve been to only charge $ 5 at MOST. I don’t remember it ever being this hard to take off some fake nails that YOU put on. It was so awkward just sitting there watching this woman trying to do something she clearly doesn’t know how to do. I had to politely get up and say sorry I’m going somewhere else. :-(
After that I went to Tammy’s nail spa off Capitol expressway and had a way better experience with WAY better prices. Fantasy nails is a little bit on the pricy side and it’s not really worth it since there’s so many other nice places to get your nails done.
As for the waxing here, I’ve never had it but there’s always a line so the lady doing it must be doing her job well.
Good luck!

Horrible. They gave me a pedicure with cold water. Cut my finger when she was filling my nails. Missed nail polish on parts of my nails. Didn’t take off all the nail polish on my toes, just painted over it. I only came here because they are open late. Never again.

Worst service ever. Woman on the phone was almost evil she was so rude literally yelling at me. Service was below par, me and 2 roomies went to get pedis the water smelled I’m sorry to say like fart or poop water. Rushed service. When we went to pay who we thought your supposed to pay up front she yelled at us to pay who did our nails. The paint was old and didn’t dry. Paint smudges all over my roomies hand. They rushed us out so they could do eachothers nails. We still tipped very well and acted nice but will never go back. The best part of this experience was the pizza pretzels down the entrance at Annie’s pretzels.

The worst experience I’ve ever had. I came here on Saturday night last weekend and i got my nails done by an old technician. She was very cute and friendly but she was very slow and clumsy too. Cuz she has no experience about color consulting so my hands look like a dead body after painted and it’s worse than my kids painting.
Some staff were called their customers are «bitches» «black hooker» «shit»… and for sure they did it by Vietnamese.
Horrible place and i will never come back.

This was the absolute worst place to get nails done. The lady tried to do my nails and messed them all up globs of gel on two of them and thin on the other hand also two were broken on edge. She grabbed my hand and said I’ll fix and filed my nail and Skin. My finger started to bleed. Told her I’ll fix them she had the nerve to tell me after you do that wash hands so I can color and that will be 30 bucks. Hahahahahaha. She bleeping crazy. Never again. Never. Worst place ever.

Great job. I wish they had a larger selection of regular polish but that’s just because I’m picky. Had a great pedicure. No problem walked right in and they started. Good strong massage chairs. They do a great pedicure very detailed. My feet were wayyyy overdue and they are perfect very happy

Came here for a quick fix pedicure. The lady did my pedi in 15 mins. It hurts ’cause she was rushing and my toe nails came out all crooked. My feet weren’t even clean after all that quick «spa» treatment. She also asked me if I was Vietnamese, and when I said «No, I’m Filipino.» She called one of the staff and pointed at my toes and started talking in Vietnamese. I felt like they were talking about how ugly my toes were and that I should get my eyebrows done. I told her I’m trying to grow it out ’cause I wanna re-​shape it. Plus, how can I trust a person to do my eyebrows when shes got a burgundy sharpy eyebrows? Ugh. Don’t even bother coming here.

The woman working on my mani/​pedi worked on my nails for only 10 minutes and it came out uneven and thick at the ends. Then for my pedicure she only did 1 coat of color and filed the SKIN of my toes. I felt the sting from the alcohol and polish remover. Horrible mani pedi. This woman is a joke.

I had my pedicure done in here for the second time and I must say that I was disappointed. I like their service when I had my first pedicure than the second. The lady who cleaned my nails the first time was very thorough and even massaged my feet. When I went the second time they rushed my pedicure because the lady saw that there were people who came in. I let it slide because I was in a good mood that day, but when I asked them to get my eyebrows done they made me wait for 20 mins and the lady who was supposed to do my eyebrows shout at me and pushed me outside the room where they do the waxing. Then again I just smiled and said «okay» they made me wait for another 10 mins. And realized that they are bringing the people in before me even though they’re aware that Im waiting. They’re customer service is really bad.

Such horrible service today. All the employes are fighting with eachother! Yelling and throwing stuff
They need new management!!!

Are manicures typically painful?
My tech tried to upsell me on a gel but I wasn’t interested and she was not happy with me after that. Then she cut me and couldn’t stop the bleeding. She made me pay before she painted my nails and then when she realized I wasn’t tipping her she tried to be nice and asked if I live around here. NO.
I made her clean up her messy paint job because it’s her job. She was going to let me walk out looking like I painted them myself– not professional at all.

These stars are for Nancy she always keeps my eye brows on point for over 10 years ! She’s the best!

Never again. We came in for a quick last minute prom nails. My nails came out crooked, the technician couldn’t even paint my nails without getting it on the rest of my finger, and instead of trying to shape the nail with a nail file she just cut the sides of the nails.
Very unsatisfied, and my friends nails. The lady couldn’t even do a straight nail so she kept asking her to fix them and make them shorter until they didn’t even look like coffin nails.
Yes, they took us in right away and tried, but the next time I pay 30 $ for a set of nails without gel it won’t be here.

Had a bad experience. The lady cut my nails super short and crooked. She also cut too deep into my toenail that it bled. Will not come back. I really hope I don’t get an infection.

Little did I know that I was rocking eyebrows like Oscar the Grouch and Bert (& Ernie) from «Sesame Street.» Thank goodness, my ex introduced me to Nancy who operates the eyebrows, waxing and grooming station in the far back corner. This is the only service that I, a heterosexual male choose to have performed from time to time. Their prices are have not changed since I’ve been coming here which was around 2006! Like your typical, Asian/​Vietnamese nail salon, the place smells like ammonia and nail polish. Of all the times I’ve been, they’ve always appeared busy at all stations. The great thing is you don’t need an appointment and can drop in anytime if you don’t mind waiting.

I’ve come here for a wax before, but the last time I stopped by was to have my nails done. That was definitely the *last time* I get my nails done at this place.
When I sat down, I explained very clearly to the nail technician that I wanted one color on my nails and another on my tips. I brought my own two bottles of nail polish for her to use. She tells me it’s $ 10 and I agree, paying her upfront as she asks. (I’m guessing she didn’t want me to try and pay with my nails wet.)
She starts cleaning my nails; I’m slightly annoyed that she continuously stops (three or four times, each very long pauses) to fiddle with her iPod, and then she proceeds to keep her eyes glued to a video while she cleans my nails.
When she finishes, she polishes one nail. Then she stops and asks, «Okay, now which colors go on which nails?» She makes a small motion with the brush to indicate that she expects a pattern. I quietly bristle a little but calmly explain again that the color she is holding goes on all nails – the second polish is for the tips. She fakes a gasp and says, «Oh, that’s $ 15!»
I resist the urge to rolls my eyes. I politely respond, «Okay.» She proceeds to finish painting on one hand, and then to my horror she stops decidedly and says, «Okay, now you pay the rest with the other hand,» in such a tone that the few people in the salon pause and look over. I suppress my frustration, reach into my wallet with my undone hand, and pay her another $ 5. She does the rest of my nails, works on the tips, and then casually laughs and remarks, «Oh I told you the wrong price. So the next time you come, it won’t be $ 15. Okay?»
No. Not okay. What the hell does that actually mean?
I have NEVER not tipped a beautician before. But I walked out of there without tipping her for the first time in my life. I would give this place only one star if it weren’t for the fact that I’ve had an okay waxing experience before.
The place is cheap but unsanitary, so I recommend going in for things like waxes in the morning, when the equipment is most likely to be clean. I get my legs waxed here, but because of the suspicious level of cleanliness, I’d never get something like a Brazilian.
