| - I've been going to Delightful Nails for several months now and I've always had a positive experience. I've gotten 1 brow wax, 3 pedicures, 2 full sets, and many fills of clear acrylic, short, with regular polish. I think I've been paired with about every tech in the shop. They've all been good, some better than others, but none were bad experiences. The staff is consistently friendly and has a fun sense of humor. The shop is neat and clean.
Prices are on par with the average nail salon. I prefer to get regular polish and go in for a polish change after a week. I do not like getting gel polish on acrylics because, who cares if it doesn't chip when it grows out so fast and looks terrible after a week or 10 days. Regular polish doesn't chip on acrylics anyway. If you want the shine, have them put clear gel over the regular polish ($5.00). This use to be the up-sell nails salons would go for prior to color gel polish coming out. As with every nail salon, steer clear of the up-sells if you're on a budget. In my opinion the basic manicure/pedicure is always the best bang for your buck (this has been my experience at every nail salon).
I just had my first brow wax at Delightful Nails a couple weeks ago. Ivy did a great job, she was wonderful. More often than not I have a bad brow waxing experience even though I am very clear about what I want. She had me lay on the table and gave me a mirror and used her comb to point out on my actual brow what she was going to do... and she actually did what we agreed upon. Wonderful!
They have an autoclave and use autoclave packets for their metal nail tools; however, I don't know if they just don't use the autoclave or what exactly, but the packets aren't sealed and you can tell the tools weren't baked in the packet because its not stiff & wrinkly. This part is really strange. So it's like they just keep each set of tools in a sterilization packet but don't actually bake the packet in the autoclave. I'm sure they use the blue liquid sterilization instead. I'm not saying they don't sterilize, just that I don't believe they use the autoclave to do it (which is not required by law). If they would properly use the autoclave they would be my dream nail salon and get 5 stars. for sure!
Also, like other nail salons, they prefer cash- I totally get it and try to accommodate and at least pay the tip in cash.
