I have to hand it to these guys. I know firsthand how hard it is to have a small business in these trying times. Every time I walk by this place the workers are smiling, attentive, and the door is literally open wanting to engage passersby. Their storefront is always clean and take a lot of pride in what they do.

I got a gel pedicure with Brenda and she did a great job. She really paid attention to detail. I will definitely be returning!

They take great care in doing my mother in laws pedicure since she can no longer cut her own toe nails. Im impressed with their attentiveness and work since she has sensitive feet and is a type 1 diabetic. This is our to go place from now on!

These were the friendliest, most efficient nail people Ive ever experienced. They worked together to get the job done, and didnt make me feel rushed even though they had a lot of customers.

Lisa is great! So particular. Her gel manicures are the best.

Love the staff!! The owners are very welcoming and accommodating. Andy is the best for acrylics and Tony gives a great pedi (and is very entertaining!). Super clean and easy to make appts. Highly recommended.

I just got a gel manicure it was very sloppy my massage was about 1 minute for one hand and 30 seconds for the other. The gel is scratched on a few nails. She started with a matte black and took it off with a paper towel to get regular black on my nails (missing spots on a nail). Terrible! I still tipped $5 that was me being nice because 20% would have been $6.

I think the ladys name is Linda, but anyways she cut me and was rough when buffing the acrylics. It was more painful than soothing. I asked her to force the white lines and she kept going thicker and thicker

My nails came out amazing, the owner is always so nice and greets you like he knows you. And! The gentleman who did my pedi gave me the best calf/foot massage. The fella who did my nails shaped them perfectly!

Ask for Vee! She does a bomb pedicure! I prefer the gel Venus Pedi but sometimes I treat myself to a Deluxe! I prefer the location on Friant. Its newer and brighter. They have another location on Fort Washington which is their original location. I prefer the newer one. I suggest making an appointment. Parking is limited so be prepared to walk a little ways to tin the establishment. This is mostly due to the growth in the shopping center theyre in but even before the growth it still seemed limited.

Friendly service... unfortunately the very next day my nails started to peel. Unfortunately I am out of town and cant return to have them fix it.

I absolutely love getting my nails done by Tom!! He makes them look so natural and I just cant say enough how obsessed I am with them. His attention to details is amazing, he really cleans up my nails (top and underneath ), he really cares about his work and it shows. He takes a little longer than most, but it is so worth the wait. I highly recommend him. The salon is very clean and the other staff members are so friendly.

Less than satisfied, the first time I came my nails came out great and my pedicure was awesome! So when it came time for my fill I was excited to come back. Unfortunately this experience made it my final experience. The woman who helped me was sweet, but I couldn’t understand her and she couldn’t understand me. I showed her a picture of what I was interested and she said she couldn’t do that which is fine I figured it would be a long shot but then she kept trying to push flowers on me and flowers are not my thing! I had to tell her no like 4 times “I don’t like flowers” finally I settled on a simple color and called it good. I wanted Matte and I got that but it was done sloppy you can still see where spots were missed, which shine in the light, I have nail polish all over the sides of my fingers and the filing job is kinda bumpy and a mess. Then she kept getting irritated because I kept slouching and got up and walked around shoved pillows behind me to prop me up which was not comfortable “I actually have really bad back problems”. I know she could tell I was displeased I want them fixed but don’t even see the point of trying to explain. Then to pay 34 for it all is just infuriating.

Just got home from this place and Im not happy. I dont know her name she works at station 4. I was trying to explain to her how I wanted my nails shaped and she got mad at me and then aggressively grabbed my arm and started to aggressively file my nails. She put the acrylic on way too thick left some of the acrylic on the bottom of my nail and after aggressively filing my nails are all crooked. I didnt bother telling out of fear because she had already aggressively grabbed me when she was filing too aggressively only after I was trying to explain how I wanted my nails shaped.

I had been going at this nail salon for a while. Nice clean place. However The owner (Eric) needs to learn how to treat customers with respect. This is AMERICA not his native country. You shape the nails the way the customer ask you to, not the way you want to. Attitude is major issue here. Multiple times I left dissatisfied and disappointed.. never ever going back again.

New to the area, and I was very pleased with finding this nail salon. First encounters count a lot for me, the receptionist was extremely polite and sweet when I called to check for availability. She greeted me at the door. Not too much of a wait time. Prices are affordable . The work environment itself seems pleasant, which you dont really get at a typical nail salon. The salon is very clean, and in a great location. Services were good. I had a gel manicure and luxury pedicure. Only reason I didnt give it a 5, is because Im pretty sure the 10 min massage included in the luxury package was short. But not a big deal, the service was great, cant complain. I will go here again.

Id gone to Venus Nails in Clovis and had a great experience a few years ago. So I was expecting the same treatment when I went to the place on Friant. Unfortunately, I didnt get my monies worth. I paid for the works but got a substandard pedicure. I paid for gel nails, and had a very short hand massage. And the gel began lifting within 2 days. I had to go back, very frustrating and a waste of time. They did re-do the nails, but only those that had already lifted. I wasnt impressed. Worse yet, was that the rest the nails, including the ones redone, lifted again within 2 days. I will not be going back there and dont recommend anyone else waste their money either.

I went in for the first time today for a mani/pedi and the ladies were nice so thats why I gave 2 stars, but wouldnt go back again. When asking for her to shape my nails squared she said that would be an extra $5.00 charge. And said the base price was only for round shape nails🤯I have never heard of being charged to get the nail shape you want when already paying for a gel manicure. Then she kept trying to sell me other services. I rarely go in for a mani/pedi so my husband got me this as a gift for Christmas to relax and enjoy being pampered and having them continually trying to make more money off of me totally took away from my experience and made me feel really uncomfortable.

Horrible! I should have known better when I saw the lady...she looked annoyed. However, she sat me down and got straight to work. While I was trying to chose a color Lisa who was doing my manicure told me she had no time because she had an appointment. So why did she begin working on my manicure to begin with. I would have rather been told to wait or come back. Instead she was rough and totally rushed me out. I paid $30 for horrible service.

Ive been to this location many times for gel nails and pedicures, majority of the technicians do a good job. I was hesitant to write this review because of the other technicians giving me a good experience but this one was border line torture. I asked for healthy nails and they assigned me to an older gentlemen. Ive gotten gels from him before so it was not an issue. He informed me to relax my arms and sit still because of the dipping process of the acrylic. He kept readjusting my arm(kind of aggressively) and repeated to stay relaxed even though i was telling him it was hurting me when he used the machine close to my cuticles. He did this FOR ALMOST 3 HOURS. Every single finger hurt, he made one bleed i asked him to stop when it got to be enough for me sitting there at hour 2 and said he needed to continue and kept hurting me! Everytime hed get to my left ring finger and pinky he twisted it very far to the left making so painful i yanked away a few times. He did not stop. This was the worst experience ive ever had getting nails done. I did tell him i worked with my hands a lot so he told me he was going to do 3 coats, after he was finished he tried to change the story on me telling me “i asked for 3 coats” he apologized but again never stopped using the machine lol ill never go back to this location and ive told many of my girlfriends about this occurrence and its deterred them from it cause they were horrified and my cuticles look pretty chewed up days later. Overall, dont go to Venus to get healthy nails!
