1ST NAIL BAR in Erie, CO

The past two times I've gotten a dip manicure, it has barely lasted 10 days or just over one week. I returned to ask them to fix it the first time and I was charged the full price even though I was told "they would fix it." Eventually I got a small discount, so I returned for another set a few weeks later and it lasted 8 days before it started chipping on 4 of my nails. I won't be back; it's too expensive of a service for it to not last!

the manager was an angel, however the customer service was very poor. the lady doing my nails was on the phone the whole time and kept coughing onto my hands. after she finished she ran out of the store in a hurry. they never welcomed you into the store. the prices were absurd. they charged me $80 for a full set french tips. other places i have gone will charge you $35-40. i am very upset and will never be going back.

First visit to salon. Pedi and shellac manicure with Na. She did an excellent job and I was very pleased. Everyone in the salon was very friendly. I will definitely go back.

I had a great first experience at this nail salon. I asked for a natural dip manicure and got in right away (this was on a Wednesday around 10am). Everyone was super friendly and I was very happy with the nail techs work. She was efficient but I did not feel like she was rushing. She also gave me some direction on color choice and which product to go with since it was my first time getting dip nails. The salon felt clean and had a great atmosphere. They do prefer cash so come prepared with that.

My first visit to 1st. I've called a few times in the past to ask for last-minute availability and they seem to always be busy (I also stink at planning ahead and making appointments - I am who I am). Today though, they had availability so I got in right away for a dip mani. COVID precautions: I was asked to sanitize my hands first thing, we both wore masks the entire time, and they still had plexi up between nail techs and customers at every station. The two nail salons I've been to recently had these precautions at one point during the pandemic but seem to have since gone by the wayside. Glad to see that 1st still does it all. However (and ultimately the reason for my 4 stars instead of 5), I remain disappointed in the number of salons that no longer sanitize/package tools separately - 1st does not. Generally speaking though, it's a very clean, bright, calm environment. Cathy was my technician and she was fabulous! Attention to detail, a pleasure to talk to - efficient and timely. I will absolutely ask for her next time I go! Lastly, they were $5 less expensive than the two other places I've been to for the same service which I'm hyped about. Thank you for a great experience today - looking forward to returning in 2-3 weeks!!!
