Nail Fever in Akron, OH

My boyfriend and I decided to get pedicures before an upcoming vacation. We thought this nail salon would be a solid choice, given the reviews, ability to make an appointment and pricing seemed to be reasonable. We arrived five minutes before our appointment time and quickly noticed that the four technicians they had were all busy with clients. After we signed in, the lady told us it would be 15 mins.  We came back inside after 15 minutes and all four technicians were still with the clients they were with when we arrived. Again....the biggest reason we chose this place was that we could make an appointment to avoid having to wait. We were sat in pedicure chairs and given a small bottle of water at 325p. We didn't even have a nail tech touch our feet until 345p, at which point, we should have been done with our appointments. At 430p we were finally done and at the register paying. Imagine the shock when he gave us a price of $115 for TWO pedicures. We were charged for deluxe pedicures (without being asked if we wanted an upgrade) and they used gel polish on my toes (I didn't notice until he already applied the base coat and, at that point, was too late to tell him I wanted regular polish).  We paid less in January at an upscale salon that provided a better service and overall experience (including complimentary mimosas). As we were driving away, my boyfriend looked at his toes. They cut his nails really short and didn't even file them down to be smooth on the cut edges. They were pointed in the middle and sharp. But the kicker....both of our legs were covered in residue from the green clay mask they applied during the pedicure. We assumed they did an adequate job at rinsing it off but as it dried, it became apparent that they did not. We had to wipe our legs off with cloths we had in the car so that we didn't look sloppy going into a few stores. Overall, the experience fell short of what we had expected and probably won't return in the future. Update: one day at the beach (two days post expensive pedicure) and my pinky toe has no polish on it

I love Tina. She takes her time and she's very friendly. I have been getting my nails done for like 18 years and I like to stick with one person and make appts. She's my lady because she doesn't rush because someone is waiting. And she's particular if she sees something. I recommend her! And it's a nice place also. The other girls seem very nice too!

It used to be better. Dont know where the talent went. I got a mani and pedi. I already cut my toenails pretty short so really just needed a sanding..she cut more off. never asked. didnt get the callous on my pinkie toe at all. did wrap my feet with my legs in the warm towels..just my legs., not my feet....didnt use the separator when she painted my toes..... took off my nail polish while i sat with the warm towels..Did not take any more of the polish off at the table. Did not clean under my nails.. did not let the cuticle cream soak in before scraping the metal on my cuticle barely at all. but did cut the cuticle skin off decent...barely sanded my nails..really a buffing...did all the polishing strokes..under the dryer and done. i have had enough professional type manicures and i know the techniques and what should be done much better than this tech. The only best part is how good the color looks. 2 days and already have the tips chipping back. will never go back or recommend.

So my nail guy is out of the shop for a while. And I needed a fill bad. Decided to goto Nail fever because it was close to home and I needed them done bad. Told her I wanted a purple ombre with glitter. She told me that they didn't have the powder to do it so they use gel to do ombre. Ok, I thought maybe she knew what she was doing. No... I should have got up and just left at that point. Half way through she called i believe the main nail lady over because she knew i wasnt happy. They used purple nail polish and the white you use for a white tip and poured glitter on them to hide the screw ups. I'm so upset, if you know me you know my nails are important to me. And unfortunately I'm not one to try and not pay for services done. Or complain. I was so upset and literally in tears I paid and walked out. Don't even wanna ask them to fix them because I really feel like they'll be worse than what they are. I feel like im getting ready for prom. Come on nail fever in Akron, Ohio. You guys gotta do better. I've never done nails before and I could have done a better job. I've been getting my nails done for over 20+ years and I've never been this upset over a baby set. I usually would just go about my day. And the only reason they got 1 star is because the review makes you give them one.

I went for a pedicure and my toe was cut, no biggie. Literally happens all the time. But a couple days passed and now my toe is incredibly infected and swollen. I'm on 2 kinds of antibiotics and in incredible pain. I had never been to tail fever but I had time to kill and googled the closest place to get a pedicure...never again. Paid for the pedicure, doctor visit, and 2 antibiotics and it's still not gone.
