Pretty Nails in Milwaukee, WI

I've had services at this nail salon a couple times. The gel manicures were ok. The place was not so clean and the acetone solution she used a nail brush to put on seemed strange. The male owner was friendly but the female owner wasn't friendly. One odd thing that really bothered me was there were beta fish in several very small vases that included pothos plants. As a fish owner, this was a bit disturbing because it didn't appear to be an adequate environment for survival. Sure enough, when I returned for my next visit almost all of the fish were dead (but still in the vases dead!) and the plant roots had grown tremendously...there was essentially no where for the fish to go. This is animal cruelty as far as I'm concerned and uncomfortable for client to view as they are receiving services. Needless to say, I won't be returning.

My daughter and I were in town for a wedding. We decided to treat ourselves to pedis and nails as we hadn't had time to visit our regular salon before the trip. The guy who did my pedi was very aggressive with the grater and punctured my heel. He didn't tell me and it wasn't until I went to remove the tor spacers that I noticed a puddle of blood in my flip flop. He came over and kept asking if I am diabetic, which I am not and had nothing to do with him puncturing my foot. He sprayed it with alcohol and wiped it off, it was still bleeding profusely. He stuck a paper towel between my foot and flip flop and sent me on my way. No apology. No discount on the pedi for puncturing my foot, they just wanted to get me out of there as I was still bleeding.

I stopped in for a toe nail polish changed. She filed the color off (regular polish not gel or dip) then she watered the polish that I picked down so there was no sparkle in it and then because she wouldn't paint on just the toe nail when she went to clean it up she used her thumb she took off more polish than she should have. And then charged me $20 before the tip for 10 mins! Very disappointed used to be a regular customer here won't be back...

I am always pleased EVERY single time I get my Mani and Pedi at Pretty Nails!!! The salon is clean and organized and the owners take such good care of my needs. I've been a customer for years and have been spoiled with Dip/Gel and (on occasion) tips! I always feel pretty when my service is complete and I can't wait till my next appointment to be spoiled!!! Make your appointment now and enjoy your Mani/Pedi!

Kevin has an attitude like every other time I come. No phones, ok I can see why but then he like pauses 10 times during the service to mess with his on the stand this time I just wanted a fill with a matte black top coat and a small rhinestone design on the base of one nail on each hand. When finished I noted that my thumb had wrinkled and when I brought it to his attention he got an attitude and said I'll fix it but your not putting your hand all the way in, put it all the way in and then he starts aggressively e filing the nail. I'm like dude wtf I get my nails done by you all the time and I'm a nail tech myself I know how to insert and keep my fingers in a uv light. Both nails the rhinestones are on are dimpled and wrinkled because he globbed the gel and top coat to hold the rhinestones on too thick. Again, I brought it to his attention, and he said no, it does that it does that. No tf it does not, Kevin. What's funny is right after he started to take the polish off my thumb he snapped who did your nails last time, and I just straight up said, you dude why, was it a bad job? Today will probably be my last going there.
