I’ve been here so many times and always really liked it but today they seem to have drastically raised their prices charging an additional $20 on top of the pedicure price for gel polish. This is astronomical compared to previous prices and other places in the area. Such a shame that I had to leave and now find a new place since I will not pay such an outrageous upcharge.

On the website a spa manicure was $32. In person it was $50. I did not expect this price what so ever. My friend also got her nails done and the technician cut her cuticles until they bled!!

I would recommend making an appointment if you're going on a weekend. I waited about 20 minutes, which was expected. A very nice, big salon that cares a lot about cleanliness. They have a large selection of nail colors and services, including dip and gel. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead 5 is because the lady doing my pedicure was holding my foot by my big toe which was super uncomfortable.

If you are not going to read the following paragraph I will sum it up here, just in case. Save your money and go literally anywhere else. Literally, anywhere.
Okay, now that the jist is over, please allow me to break it down further. My friend and I had a scheduled appointment at 12:45. After we got there 10 minutes early my friend was seated right away. I was taken to another table where the nail tech looked at my nails, and told me to soak them in acetone to take the previous nails off. After she put both of my hands in the acetone, she left a started doing another ladies nails that was in

I absolutely love this nail salon. The setting is very relaxing and beautifully designed. Kim did an AMAZING job on my shellac mani & pedicure!! Always very meticulous and pays great attention to detail. Definitely will be returning.

What an mediocre experience for the price....very disappointed.
The so called professional was very rude and disgracefully unprofessional.
1. She was very rough w my feet and spoke ill, about my pinky toe, NEVER have I heard a professional speak in this manner?
2. She aggressively asked me to pay via venmo instead of my debit card.
3. She took my card and asked me how much would I like to pay for a tip ?? Who says this?
4. My pedi is not lasting.
Never again $65 bucks
My friend avoided the older lady as we walked back, and I should have listened. The worst service. I only came here for a

This is and has been my favorite nail salon in Louisville for years. The staff is always very friendly and they keep a very clean environment.
Also they're selection of nail colors and fresh polish is far and above better than other salons that I have tried.

American Nails is my go-to spot! The salon is always clean, they have hundreds of color options (regular, vinyl, dip and shellac) and everyone is very friendly. Ask for Tracy - she's the best!

Rushed service. I informed the nail tech that I had a broken nail, to please be careful. She forgot and when taking off the old gel polish she ripped into it more. Hurt so much! I understood that it was a mistake so I let that go! The worst of it was the really bad gel polish job. Streaky, sloppy, and lumpy.

I went last week and got dip for the first time. When I left the shop I was so in love with my nails. 6 days later (and I don't do anything extra with my hands or use my nails as tools) my nails have started popping off! I even lost one during church service!! I am so upset and mad! I paid good money for a nail job that barely lasted a week! To top it all off she used a drill on my nail bed!! So upset!

DO NOT GO HERE. This place is a disaster. Dirty pedicure basins, toenails and fingernails all over the carpet. The place in general is very dirty. I had to even ask for clean tools to be used on my hands because they were using tools that were sitting in a cup. They also do a terrible job and they overcharge. Stay far far away from this place!!!

Just went in for an acrylic rebase and came out with these. I asked for square with round edges that are narrower towards the tip. The nail job is very lumpy and messy and the filing is very lopsided. Very disappointed.

I've gone here for years to get gel manicures, and they're usually fine. I tried the sns dip manicure this time, and it's a nightmare. The outcome looked good, but less than a week and all my nails are chipping and cracking.

Stopped in for a pedicure with my Mom on a weekday evening and we were able to get seats immediately. Staff was friendly and did a good job on our nails. They up-sold us on the wax treatment--a strange experience--putting your feet into plastic bags of hot wax, but the results were super soft feet. I enjoyed the massage chair and chatting with my Mom. I notice they have some kid-size chairs which would be a fun treat to do for a niece, nephew, or cool kid in your life. Will try again.

OK let's just get it out there - I'm a big, burly, beardy guy. And I like to get my toes did sometimes. It's a cool experience to have someone massage and trim and exfoliate and whatever the hell else they do that, as a guy, I don't know the words for. And yeah, I do get the nails painted.

The wait usually isn't very long, and you can make appointments. The nail techs have always been friendly, efficient, gentle and experts at making my digits look and feel great. In fact, it's about time for a return trip to get my dewclaws filed.

Clean and friendly.
But clueless. Claimed they couldn't do a fill on my powder dip nails. It was on their service list and I even called before driving there. She tried and burned me with the drill. Said it couldn't be done and wanted to charge full price. La Perla up the road did it for much cheaper and it looks amazing.

Not sure why this place isn't rated higher. I visited this salon with my mother back in June for a wedding I attended in the area. It was a Saturday and it wasn't too crowded. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, I could tell that quality and service rank as top ideals here.

First, I am immediately enamored with the chandelier. Can you say OMG? It's just gawjus dahling!!! They have spared no expense on atmosphere. The color scheme, light fixtures, and art all say "stop here and get your nails done you sexy goddess". And after a long, hard work week, I can

The place is clean and the nail technician was friendly. I was a bit concerned about the fish, as the water was foggy and it needed to be cleaned. Wait time to get my nails done was minimal. The massage chairs seem nice but don't do a great job massaging you while you're getting the pedi. I tried several settings but felt barely anything from the chair. I've rated 4 stars #1 for cleanliness and #2 for the technician making an effort to have friendly conversation with me. I would visit again.

I went in to American Nails on Bardstown Road on October 26, 2015. I have been going there since they opened. I went there to receive a great manicure and pedicure since I have been working really hard lately... needed a spa treatment!

That was the LAST thing I got was a relaxing pedicure! I was sitting in the massage chair everything was going fine until the technician started with the razor on my right foot. She sliced a huge chunk of skin off the side of my right foot big toe! I started bleeding profusely! She ran to get band aids and put some weird green liquid on there to try to

I had my first gel manicure at American Nails last week. I really enjoy the salon itself. It's a large space, that's well decorated, with a great spa feel. The salon seems very clean and well kept, which I have noticed many other salons don't seem to care so much about. I did not have a pedicure, but I am looking forward to going back to have one there in the future, because the chairs look very relaxing and I watched a pedicure being done during my manicure and it seemed very thorough and enjoyable. The staff in the salon were very nice to me, attentive, and quick to greet me and
