Sophia Nail Salon in Mishawaka, IN

If you're looking for a clean salon, this is not it!  There is literally an inch of dust everywhere.  That being said, they skimp on most everything and charge full prices.  Last time I was there a couple weeks ago, I felt as if I was on a conveyor belt.  While getting my nails done, the salon owner was arguing with what was obviously the landlord about paying the electric bill.
Nail salon owner kept saying she paid the electric bill, but landlord was not happy. To top off my visit, when I checked out she charged me an extra $5 for the same service I've had in the past.  I decided to take my business elsewhere.

I was in the area never had been in was the closest nail salons but the worst reviews, I decided ahh I'll give them a try anyway I seen their full set was 35 and I just wanted basic French tip with oval shap and this is what I got they are more pointy not oval, my skin is scabby in places were she grinded it, some of my nails are lopsided and look crappy, and she charged me 50!!  when I asked why the sign said 35 then she went to talking about some excuse but I just paid and left I wasn't about to argue I would never go back and never recommend to anyone else ever! definitely the past reviews are completely correct that's why they have such a bad rating, if your like me and try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and try them anyway save your money plus they charge more than their signs!

I have had issues in the past with them not filling my acrylic nails properly and needing to get them done sooner than is probably necessary. I have had them chip and break quickly as well. I have overlooked that because most of the time they are great. They are nice people too. You can usually walk right in and get taken care of pretty quickly. But this Friday I made an appt at 2:30pm for Saturday with Nancy. I was in for my appt at 2:28 and I'm told Nancy is gone. Left at 1pm for Chicago. Then I'm told that I'll just go with the next nail tech, that they aren't taking anyone else for the rest of the day. They are closing by 3pm, even though there are 3 nail techs in there. They don't close until 7:30pm on Saturdays. Not happy. I HAD AN APPT. A good business does not turn away an appt. No call or anything to cancel with me. I drove there and I'm told to go away.

Wish I would have read reviews prior to wasting my money -
Prob the worst, quickest pedicure I've ever had. I felt like the girl who did it didn't want to be there, I was an inconvenience to her.. I wasn't offered different types of pedicures- the menu says there are a few different kinds, and I would have paid for the most expensive one had it been offered. She barely touched my feet for the massage which lasted all of 2 mins- the nails look fine, but I honestly didn't even need a pedicure, I just needed to relax and have a good massage, but then was charged for a deluxe pedicure. Not sure what was deluxe about it but it wasn't even worth the price of the lowest one. New to the area was looking for my place- this isn't it- waste of money and unfriendly staff.

Update: 2 days later and my big toe feels infected so, that's cool.

Even though the nails were cheap , the work is absolutely horrible. First of all , when prepping my nails she did not cut down my actual nail or have my wash my hands or anything . She just started putting tips on . She had acrylic all over my fingers , I had to go home and peel it off. The shape is all over the place , none of the nails are the same shape. Then the polish is just horrible , she did not take her time with that at all . Probably wondering why I didn't leave her a tip .
