Happy Nails

I was disappointed with the service. I've never been to a salon where they don't massage your legs or feet. She put hot towels on my legs and left them. Never even rubbed the legs let alone a massage. I paid $30 for them to scrub my feet and paint my nails. I can do that at home. I won't be going back.

I started coming here about 6 months ago and new instantly I had found my new nail tech. I have been to other places and always went home and "fixed" my nails- filing, shortening. (I can be quite picky and do realize that one can only tell the nail tech's so many times what needs to be fixed, before they become agitated and really ruin them.) Ty does a remarkable job and I always walk out loving my nails and pedicure! Prices are very affordable as well.

I have been a client of Ty's for over 2 years now. He is the only person I will let touch my nails. I tried other places in Reno and every one of the did not pay attention to my nails and damaged my nail bed and/or skin around my nails. The other experiences I had- another client's hair in my nails, gel nails not being filed off and being ripped off my nail bed ( that is extremely painful and ruins your nails instantly, not filing ), the skin around my nails filed off, and had several break off.



Ty pays attention to detail and blends the nail to look natural with your skin instead of leaving the acrylic where it sets, creating a sort of gap once the nail grows out a bit. He also uses different tools for my sensitive skin instead of the typical kind he can use on everyone else so I won't leave with the skin on both sides of my nails filed off. I also have paper-thin nails, so he's careful when clipping and filing. I have never had any of his nails break on me, they last through gymnastics, shooting, and atv riding. When he first started working on my nails, he told me the characteristics of my nails. I thought it was routine for your skin to be filed off and to be in pain when filing your nails, but little did I know that everyone else that I had tried before just wasn't paying attention.



He has the most return-client basis that I have ever seen, and he knows everyone by name. He works 7 days a week, and expects perfection out of his work. He uses only the premium products, what shows to last the best for his clients. If you are happy with his work, then he is happy. If you have a problem, he simply wants the opportunity to fix it. He cares very much for his clients, and realizes that they are the reason for his business. There is not one complaint I have against him, and I genuinely think he is the best in Reno.

I have been getting acrylic and gel nails put on for many years. One day I decided to get them done when my usual manicurist was not available so I stopped by the nearest nail salon that looked clean. BIG mistake. The manicurist I got (Ty) filed my nails so thin that it burned and layered the acrylic powder so thick my nails look deformed and ridiculous. He also placed the white tip (which I specifically said I did not want) very far down on my nail bed. I hated my nails. At the point when I would usually have my nails filled I decided to have them taken off due to the quality. My regular manicurist did this procedure and she was appalled to find that since he had filed my one nail so thin, the acrylic had eaten through my actual nail and I am now left with a pussing, raw hole in the middle of my index finger on my right hand. Very painful! I hope that this review will stop someone from making the same painful mistake that I did! Needless to say I have also called the State Board of Cosmetology.
