Pinky's Nail Spa Sioux City in Sioux City, IA

Went to do my nails with my sister and the lady that did my nails filed too hard and I was wincing the whole time she was filing. She kept going on the same fingers and I pulled back to let her know I was not enjoying what she did to my nails. I felt uncomfortable as the ladies there were talking to each other and laughing and pointing at my sister and I. She also didn't ask if I wanted gel nails and she did acrylic nails on me and I was supremely disappointed. While using the drill bit on my cuticles, she drilled so much of my skin it started hurting and it bled a bit.

While being there, I felt as if the atmosphere was a bit judgemental and mean and I didn't feel comfortable with my nail tech at all. I hated my experience and I felt as if I could've gone somewhere else for better treatment. My fingers are stinging still and I will not be returning to this establishment.

My go to Sioux City nail salon. Always greeted and not stared at. Sometimes there juicy tea you hear from the salon artist. Place is always so clean. Don't be afraid to talk to your artist. They need the communication to get you what you want!

the shape of my nails isn't how I wanted them, my nails aren't filled in all the way, and my nail design looks like a 2 year old did:( worst nails iv ever gotten in my life!!!!

Worst experience I've ever had at a nail salon. I've been to Pinky's a few times and have always recommended them to friends. This time, I had acrylic nails on and I asked for a manicure, to remove the acrylics and put on shellac. Two nails techs then literally ripped the acrylic nails off my fingers, without soaking them, or using the dremel to shave the acrylics off. This was extremely painful, which I voiced to them multiple times and they just kept ripping them off, tearing my nails. I wanted shellac on my natural nails because they had grown out nicely but I now have nubs because they ripped all the nail growth off when removing the acrylics. I had always been told by other nail techs to never ever rip your acrylics off, and to always come in and have a nail tech remove them professionally. I was shocked. I stayed and sucked it up thinking "they know what they're doing, they are the professionals" but I was only disappointed even more when I picked my shellac color out and the nail tech put the wrong color on. I questioned her about it, saying I picked 423 but the bottle she was using said 419. She continued painting my nails with 419 and said they were the same color. At the end she asked if I liked them and I said it's not the color I picked and she continued to disagree with me. I wasn't going to cause a scene and continue arguing with her, I just wanted to get out and never come back. I feel stupid complaining about nails but this experience was absolutely terrible and I'm unbelievably disappointed. I will tell everyone about my experience at Pinky's and ask for recommendations for a new nail salon moving forward.

Went  for a gel set some weeks ago. the lady with the gauges in her ears  used the grinder and did not soak the gel off and it made my nails so weak. When you get gel the nail tech is suppose soak the gel off and not grind the gel polish off
