Michael's Nails & Tanning in Dayton, OH

Nail techs are quick and friendly. Easy to for walk ins and to make an appointment. Only negative is the tv that goes in and out, music preferred.

I just left there and my nails polish is already coming off and all I've done is open the door and sit in the car it's literally just peeling off I am beyond pissed off and I will never go there again my friend paid for hernails today and it cost over $200 just for our nails to look like shit wouldn't recommend at all

I am extremely disappointed with my nails after leaving Michael's Nails. I went in with a picture of nude to white ombré nails. I wanted to do a trial run for my wedding nails. I talked to the lady who was helping me and showed her a picture of want I want. We talked about different options. She mentioned dip powder and I told her that I had never used dip powder, but if that's how we achieve this look, then fine. We also talked about gel polish and acrylics, which is what I thought I needed to achieve that look. I even asked about "pink and white" which is essentially what I wanted, but with a nude. A nude fading into white on the tips. She has me pick out a nude, she does my pedicure which was fine. No complaints there, except that my feet are more crusty and peeling than they were when I walked in? When it came time to move from the pedicure station to the manicure station, I got out my phone and asked her if she wanted to see the picture again. She said no. I then sit in the chair for an hour and a half while she rips my cuticles apart with the machine and applies a terrible layer of acrylic. My nails look bulbous. I asked for almond shape, they are sharp talons. When she's finished with the acrylic she asks to see the picture again. She then tells me that she can't do that on acrylic with gel. It has to be dip powder. Excuse me??? Why didn't you tell me this two hours ago??? So I left the salon with bulbous talons that were painted black because I panicked and didn't know what to do. She kept trying to get me to do the whole mail nude with a hard French tip line which is nothing like what I asked for. I usually get black and that's my comfort color, so I went with that. I will never be back to this salon. I paid $130 unnecessarily. I did not need to have acrylics put on at all and they're just black. I could have done it myself at home and given myself a real manicure. Now my cuticles are ripped up and my nails look absolutely ridiculous. I used to get my nails done every month prior to the pandemic and I bought myself a gel kit so that I can keep doing it. This mani/pedi was my first time going back into a salon and I was so excited. It's my birthday, so it was a birthday treat to myself. I have been looking forward to this for weeks. I wanted to test out my wedding nails and i ended up with one of the worst mail experiences I've ever had.

If I could give less than a 1 rating I would. Terrible service. The owners should be shamed. My 3rd time here because it is closest to my mothers home. The service I came for was a dip synonymous to an overlay. They dipped my fingers in hot acetone. I will be calling the board Monday but what they did was unsafe. When I indicated to her it was too hot she ignored me and said dip your thumbs you have to keep them in there. She and one of the owners began to speak in Vietnamese. When I let her know I have NEVER had the dip taken off this way and it felt like it was eating through my cuticles she said "don't worry." Her hands were terribly shaky. My matrix is soft and she removed my enamel. She used unclean drills never pulling them out of the autoclave/sterile bag. If you develop a fungus EVER or have EVER you will understand why now or any communicable disease from a nail salon for that matter. She asked me for my payment. I presented my credit card. She waited for a tip. She painted my nails with a base coat, no shine and retaliated because I did not tip. All I can say is make sure you guys are ready for your secret shopper and an unannounced board and department of health visit.

Great job, very professional and friendly. My favorite place to visit for my nail and pedicure needs. I didn't feel rushed, nor did I leave with sloppy work that needed a do over. Plan to return, I saw Cindy.
