2001 Nails

We have been to many nail salons throughout the U.S. and have come to 2001 Nails in Woodbury at least 5 or 6 times over the past year. We always received great service here and will be back. They have remodeled and now have approximately 20 pedicure chairs. I highly recommend coming here by yourself and/​or with a large group. You will definitely enjoy the experience!

Love this place & have had my nails/​feet done here for many years. They just remodeled & the décor is great. The remodel included new massage chairs which are so comfortable. Prices are reasonable & you get the spa atmosphere without the price.

This was one of the worst pedicures I have ever received. We called ahead to see if they could accept 3 for a pedicure and they told us to come on in. When we arrived only two people were around the salon, so one person had to wait until we were finished to get their pedicure. No problem — more girl talk.
The pedicures took about 10 – 15 minutes — with about 1 minutes for lotion application which was the «massage» in the spa pedicure. The results of the polish was an uneven application that was very thin and ended up all over my toes.
I feel like I have been ripped off when I have to go home and re-​paint my toenails after paying for a pedicure.
The salon closed at 7pm (it was 6:30) and as we waited for our toenails to dry the salon associates were waiting for us to leave to close shop — already vaccumed and moped up with their jackets on and car riding outside.
Will not return.

Never in my life have I recieved such shoddy treatment. I walked in and there is a man lounging on the front chairs. «What do you need?» I replied «I would like a manicure, do you have Shellac?» He sneers and says «of course we do, go sit in the fifth chair.» He never stands up or anything. I should have walked out then, but I was desparate. I go and sit in said fifth chair. There are two women working on something, and one asks me what’s on my nails, after I have sat there for 5 minutes. I tell her its shellac. Without responding (and without me knowing if she ever hears me) she walks into the back room. She returns a good 5+ minutes later with a bowl of something warm and tells me to soak. I soak for about 15 minutes. She comes and sits down starts to painfully scrape my old polish off. She asks where I got my nails done and I tell her. She then asks me how much I paid, which I find extremely unprofessional. She then says some impolite comments about the other place I usually go. Of course by this time I cannot leave because half of my nails are scraped off. She stops scraping halfway through to change the television channel because she doesn’t want to watch what was on. The tv is situated behind her left shoulder. Then she asks what I want and I tell her is unimpressed with my selection and after several chpices of hers I relent because I am running out of time. She proceeds to work on my nails, stopping several times to watch the television. Yes she had to turn around to do so. Then she tells me to put my hands in the uv light boxes or whatever those things are, and they aren’t working. She has to get up and get the attention of the guy (the one too busy lounging on the chairs and talking on his phone) to get his help to figure out why none of the electricity is working. By this time I am no longer caring I want to leave. She finishes the color and design (both which are about B– in quality) and not at all what I had originally wanted. I pay and leave, neither of them acknowledging me as I leave. Now as awful as all of that was, it did not really warrant a Unilocal until the «shellac» began to chip off. So I paid a higher (much higher then deserved) price for a substandard product. Never again will I set foot in that place. I will gladly drive 20 minutes to my regular salon instead of the 5 minutes to this place.

I absolutely love this place! I always get good service at a good price. They’re are continuously updating their look. You will get the best pedicure for the best price. As for the review about walking barefoot that’s never happened to me. Maybe he was just sick of your uppity attitude? I’ve been going here since high school, 2003, and I’ve always had the best service!

The purpose of this update is to bitch about the quality of a manicure I received here.
I’m not taking back my opinion on pedicures here. I’m a fan because I always leave this place with baby soft feet, it’s close to home and it’s close to a yarn store. And it’s reasonably priced (yay!). Although I’m horrified that the guy would have made Kiki D. walk barefoot across their floor (GROSS!!! IT’S IN AN 80’S STRIP MALL!!!), although I’m wondering if it was a new person, because they always slip my flip-​flops on my toes (or lend me a pair of salon flops if I don’t have my own) before they make me vacate the chair and walk anywhere.
So anyway, I came here a month or so ago for a manicure. They did a pretty good job at filing and everything looked clean and even, however, on day two after the manicure, I had 3 large, visible chips. On day 3, only one of my fingernails was chip free. By day 6 of the manicure, only 2 of my nails even had any polish left on them.
I work in an office. I don’t do manual labor. I don’t have children. I don’t have a garden. I didn’t do anything that would have caused that manicure to fail like it did. What gives?

I usually observe a nail salon for a while before going in. Do I know anyone who’s been there, how well do they clean the foot baths, do they use sterile equipment, etc. But, I decided to try this one on a whim.
I’m pretty anal-​retentive about cleanliness at nail salons. Seriously, there’s the risk of infection, fungus, cuts. This seems to bother me more than most people, so take this review with a grain of salt…
–After the pedicure, he wanted me to walk barefoot across a tile floor, then across some carpet, and sit with my bare feet on the floor under one of those drying lights. The tile *may be* bleached often, but there’s no way they frequently shampoo the carpet.
–he was not used to someone saying ‘no’ to the nail clippers or razor. After I said no, he explained why i ‘needed’ it, and then reached for it again. if I hadn’t been very insistent, he would have gone ahead and done it.
–which I guess bleeds into another, non-​cleanliness reason I felt uneasy there. I know what I want at a nail salon, and I ask for it, but here I got a lot of pushback for some of my choices. I’m afraid that makes me sound unreasonable :) Okay, as an example, the lady next to me had picked out a pink polish. The tech came over and said the chosen colour was too light, and she’d go find another, better colour. Now, the lady seemed amenable to it, but I certainly would not have been. If I say I want my nails filed, not trimmed, or that I don’t want a flower painted on my toe, or that I don’t want callouses removed, that’s my choice.
