What customers say about Magic Nails
Three of the five review excerpts give 5 stars. Reviewers mention friendly, professional staff, good prices and a willingness to accommodate requests.

One review from 8 years ago credits a technician named Nancy with detailed work and patience with design requests.
Two excerpts give 1 star. One review from 4 years ago says the pedicure was great but the acrylic nails went badly: the reviewer reports a cut to the skin, no disinfectant used and uneven color. One review from a year ago describes a quote of 65 for a manicure, pedicure and acrylic nails with French tip, repeated pressure to choose gel instead of regular polish, and the work being stopped partway through.

Best salon I have ever been too! Amazing prices, great staff, kind, professional, and accommodating. They have always treated me well. I will never go anywhere else to get my nails done. 💅

I love my nails. I did a full gel set of acrylics. Nancy did good work on them and I am finally pleased after trying out different salons. Not only was she friendly- her attitude was great too. She didn't complain about my requests and cared more about me being happy with my nails than anything else. She is very detailed and didn't mind putting designs on my nails and fixing them how I preferred them. Another upside is that she took care of the whole nail. Some salons totally just ignore the anterior side of the nails but Nancy made sure the bottoms of the nails looked good and were filed nicely. She painted the nail tips as well for a better seal which some salons forget to do. The prices here are also extremely reasonable and worth the service. I will definitely be returning to them. Just a couple small downsides. One, is that the length of my nail was shorter than I wanted but I can live with that for a first time visit. Next time I'll just go longer. :) And 2, there was a lot of residue around my nails so it took a day or so for it to peel off. Also not a huge issue for me. Another great job done my second time going!!

This place was very bad experience for me .Today I went there to have manicure pedicure and acrylic nail with French tip .She said me it’s 65 and the lady was keep forcing me to get gel nails instead of regular …i said her I have to see my budget but they were freaking keep saying you to get gel .last I decided not to have gel just regular and in the middle of doing my nails she stopped me and said me to pay first .That was so frustrated ….They all talk in their language even you don’t know what they are saying laughing .very bad very very bad experience ….. Never going back there .they charged me 80 dollars and behavior was so bad … I am so upset to waste my money on this place …. 10/1
