Unfortunately, I was highly disappointed with my experience at MiniLuxe a few weeks ago. A friend of mine referred me because she regularly goes here and loves it, so I assume this must have just been a one-off. I got a classic gel manicure and, even with the referral discount, it was more expensive than any other local place I go to for gel nails (usually, it's $35 + tip).

i wanted to love the service here and the service and facility was great! unfortunately the quality of the gel manicure itself was not. i found the gel started peeling away at the top after about a week or so. it also looks like it’s already grown out so much cause the polish was not placed close to the nail bed. because it’s such an expensive experience, I am disappointed to that the actual quality was lacking, despite a beautiful and clean interior and wonderful service from my nail tech.

MiniLuxe is a beautifully maintained and consistently reliable nail salon, and I’ve had many positive experiences here. On this rare occasion, however, the polish application wasn’t quite up to the usual standard—there was some excess polish on my fingers, and the nail shaping was uneven. The technician was exceptionally kind and courteous, but unfortunately, the outcome fell a bit short of the usual quality I’ve experienced here.
