Amazing and relaxing experience at Nailtel! This was my first time here and I will definitely be back! Saher did my nails and Kashone did my toes. Both ladies were very talented, professional and so charming. Will be back again soon!
$120 and 2 full hours for a basic, one color builder gel mani (& builder gel removal from previous set) on short nails with no tips, no design, no add ons. Color started to fade and chip from the tip within a week, and the side closer to my cuticle is catching horribly on my hair 1.5 weeks in. The shine of the top coat has also dulled considerably. I expected a LOT more from them considering their sky-high prices and investment of time.
I wanted to love this place so badly and drove 20-30 min from home because of their high standards for hygiene and sanitary practices as I've had a couple infection scares from pedicures at other salons. At first my experience was good overall. My pedicure tech barely talked to me but my manicurist was friendly once I broke the ice. They both seemed meticulous, were gentle, and I was happy with their work and the ambience of the salon. Unfortunately now almost 2 weeks after my services, I have a nail infection that is barely just draining. I also had the beginning stages of one on my toe but with soaking it didn't progress. Both spots were tender, red and swollen after the mani pedi but that’s not uncommon immediately afterwards and I didn’t think anything of it at the time. I've never had an infection on my fingernails and this was a first and very surprising for a place that autoclaves. I'm willing to try again but maybe with a different tech and wondering if that was the issue?
I've been a loyal customer of The Nailtel since they opened a few years ago, and I still love it. The Nailtel is clean, the aesthetic is adorable, and they have Dazzle Dry, which I love (it dries in five minutes, lasts for weeks, can be removed with regular polish remover, and isn't a gel/powder). I highly recommend booking with Tatiana if you can. She is the absolute best: her attention to detail is incredible, she checks in about nail shape prior to polishing and is always willing to make changes. Beyond her excellent work, she is extremely kind, thoughtful, and pleasant, whether you want to chat or prefer a silent appointment. I am almost hesitant to share because I want to get my preferred appointment times. All of the techs here are wonderful and pitch in to help care for clients (grabbing water or beverages, helping at the register, whatever you might need). It's a great place!
This place is an Instagram dream, which is reflected in the price for the experience. Only reason I’m giving it a 4 (wish it could be 4.5!) was because what you’re really paying for is the ambience and eco friendly polishes. My nail tech was lovely and made sure I was really happy with my color. But you can get a spa pedicure with hot stone massage and eco polish at a cute salon downtown (though less cute than Nailtel!). I’ll be back for a nail art manuxude but if you want more for your money, get a pedicure elsewhere.
