"I used to love coming here for Mimi because she truly does amazing nails. Unfortunately, today was the absolute worst experience I've ever had with her! I had a 9:30am appointment for a fill and pedi. Mimi does my nails while another person does my toes and I'm out the door within the hour. 5 minutes into my nail service, a walk in customer came in requestin..." Read more

"Gel manicure lasted 2 days before they chipped. Also I was telling the nail tech doing pedicures that she was hurting me by cutting my cuticles deep. She even cut one of my toes. I'm pregnant so I was telling her to be careful and to just stop cutting at that point. But she kept laughing and kept going. Nice staff, but not the service I was l..." Read more

"I've been trying to find a new nail salon since moving back and this one was the closest. The services looked great and matched the pricing. That was definitely not the case. For what I selected for upgraded services (bath bomb pedicure), this was the fastest pedicure of my life. Usually in a chair for maybe 40 minutes, hour tops, but I think this was 20-22..." Read more

"I have to say this was by far the worst pedicure I have ever had. I paid $45 and she pushed me to get the callus remover treatment which was an extra $10! All she did was put some gel on my feet and scrub for less than a minute. Not only that she got polish all around my toes. Very disappointed by this place. Even my mom asked if a little girl did my toes lm..." Read more

Sam did my full set and didn't know how to do ombré so I gave up and had her do a des..." Read more

"I got dip powder on 5/1/22 @ 1:30pm. I have chipped nails after 2 days. I got dip nails at Puffin Nails on Oak Grove rd and my nails never chipped after almost 6 weeks. My nails were just grown out but they never chipped. I came to Algena because it's closer to my home and I go all the time for my pedicure. Never again. Not only that I noticed that they take..."

"The worst nail salon. I came in for a mani and pedi. I had a dip polish on prior the could not take it off and kept asking if I was acrylic. The two girls filed each hand. I told the lady the shapes were different, she proceeded to put the gel on. After another lady cane over to fix it and re paint them. 1 week later the gel polished chipped off and my nail..."

"Walking into this salon it was very nice. Everyone seems nice. My fiance and I were getting married and wanted our nails and toes done. His Mani Pedi was very fast and his nails were left looking unfinished. As far as my nails. I showed them a specific picture of what I wanted on my nails to look like. Toes and acrylic nail. The women that did mine was very..." Read more

"They overbook and rush you through every time. No pampering. Just hurry hurry. Filed my nails down too much for gel and burned like heck under the light. My fiancé had his first pedicure before our wedding. Had to finish it when we got home. Nothing but jagged edges. No cuticle removal. Skip the phony spa gel. Rip off. Wax ripped off part of my..."

"I liked coming here for a fill and never thought getting my nails removed would be this painful.I had to get a new set done ( which was previously by someone in this establishment) . The way they remove nails is so unprofessional. Removing your nails should not be painful. How did she do it? She used another nail to remove my precious set and it hurt so much..." Read more

"They are not welcoming people at this place. The first time I got there Mimi had yelled at me. She didn't greet me as well, which I thought was completely rude of her. Mimi also over charged me on my nails which isn't right. Very unprofessional place. Katrina was also on her phone while doing my nails and she did not do them good. I don't recommend this spot..."

I can see by your comment that Regardless of my complaint, you're going to side with your employee and I can understand that. You have to make sure she feels supported. That makes for good management skills, but your missing the point here, as you can see by my yelp, I wrote and s..." Read more

"NOT HAPPY! I gave this place a chance after a bad experience and tonight they let me down again. I called to make an appointment and was told that I would have to wait. So I drove around for 30 min waiting when my gas alert came on. I stopped to get gas so I wouldn't run out on the way and called them to let them know I was running late. The girl said "..."

"I came to get my nails done with Mimi and I'm so disappointed with my results. I showed her how I wanted them done and it's no where close to the picture I showed her. After reading many great comments about her, I decided to give it a try. Definitely won't be coming back."

"Loved the previous ladies who built this place. Had a couple of decent pedicures from the new ownership, but won't return after my last visit. Made an appointment for a pedicure eight hours in advance; showed up to a huge wait! Guy told me they were "running behind," yet he sat two more pedicures in front of me. It would've been another half hour min..." Read more

"This place is a total SCAM. Mimi is a SCAMMER. If you like this place...HA! You better make sure they haven't been OVERCHARGING you and make sure what they're asking for is what you actually received and matches their actual price list because they will try to SCAM you. Don't believe me? See a similar post below with the white birthday nails that the girl wa..." Read more

Hannah did my new set , she was nice and apologized for the previous service. She couldn't do ballerina, didn't even know what that was. I told her it was ok that she could do the shape that she's best at . This set was much better bu..." Read more
