Nifty Nails Indianapolis, IN

My daughters and I have a fantastic experience at Nifty Nails!! Our nails are always flawless, and I’m ALWAYS completely satisfied with their work. I make an appointment, and they’re always ready for me, thus no long wait times. The salon’s cleanliness stands out, which always creates a pleasant atmosphere. The skilled technicians are always very friendly, but also the best at their craft. My visits are always truly enjoyable, and I highly recommend it to others seeking excellent nail care. 😊

*Updated Review*
You can read below to see my original post from yesterday & the owner’s reply. I was invited back to have my nails fixed. So I went today & was more disappointed than I originally was which is why I changed my rating from a 3 to a 1. When I got there they asked what I needed & I asked to speak with the owner. The reply, “He’s not here.” I said ok & I would come back another time. Then I was asked by a technician if she could help me. I explained that I wasn’t happy with my nails & was told by the owner to come back to get them fixed. This first technician said, “These are acrylic nails & your nails are short. What can we do?” I pointed out that there was space between the nail & my cuticle. She asked when I had them done to which I replied,”yesterday.” She said oh, ok we can fix that. I sat & waited for my turn & after about 10 minutes two other technicians came to look at my nails. The first one took my hand & looked at my nails & asked what I wanted. I again pointed out the space which looked as if my nails had grown out over several days. I asked her if she thought my nails looked good & she said she’d give it 8/10. I said , “Wow.” Then I said I’d come back when the owner was there. Her reply was, “I’m the owner,” after already being told the owner wasn’t there. I was fed up at this point & told her I’d go somewhere else to get my nails done. I will not be returning to this business. The owner condones lying, rudeness, & unprofessionalism. Don’t waste your time and money. I added pictures this time. Zoom in!
**Original post:
I have been here 3 times. The first time I was very pleased with my manicure and thought the outcome was fantastic. The second time I was pleased, not as much as the first time, but still overall content. Today was my third time to patron this salon. They were not busy so I was seated right away. The nail tech greeted me friendly and then I proceeded to explain what I wanted. I showed a picture on my phone of what I wanted. She stared for some time like she was confused. I confirmed what I wanted and she said, Ok, if you don’t like, I do color. I said ok. I was slightly nervous but figured she was a professional who could complete my request. I quickly got the feeling she was agitated. When I asked her to round the corners of my nails a bit more, she told me that was not like the picture I showed her. I said , ok, but I still want them more rounded.
Again, I felt as though she was agitated. At the end of the process, I noticed that the shape was a bit off but I couldn’t get a good look at them because of the lighting in the corner we were in. I checked out and tipped and left. When I got to the car, I stared at them in the bright light and started to see many imperfections. I considered going back in to say something but ultimately didn’t because of the technicians there I really like. I was torn about what to do. Once I was home, I studied them more and did not like them any better. I think I was unlucky today getting a tech who was in a bad mood and didn’t care if she did a good job or not. I haven’t decided if I’ll go back, but if I do, I will request a specific technician who cares about her job.

Good job but did not like the attitude of the nail tech. Lack attention to detail. Asked for a light/clear pink and they placed an opaque pink color. Nails trim but not even. She also was upset when I asked for cuticle care prior to the dip, stated it is $5 extra. Cuticles after 1 week still not good.

I walk in for my appointment and only 1 nail tech spoke. The male owner comes up and asks am I waiting on Vicky I say yes, he says go to back…I say where then he says the number on the table. I sit down for him to remove the top coat from my dip powder and he puts the nail tool on 35. He proceeds to remove the dip powder. I say to him that is hot, I can feel the heat on my nail. He got an attitude and spoke to his wife in their language then said she will do your nails. I wait for Vicky to get done with someone before me. I am patronizing your nail salon and this is how you treat people…naw I’m good!! Once Vicky is done with my nails, she says your nails done…no cuticle oil or nothing just rude. This will be my last time coming here….I will NOT be back!!!!!!

I’m so happy I’ve found this salon. I have very high standards for manicure, and Cindy fully met my expectations. She is simply the best! I haven’t tried all of their services but so far, I’m a happy client. Everyone is friendly and the place’s ambience is just lovely and it’s clean! I highly recommend this place!
