About Leo Nails

Leo Nails is a clean salon with a polite, friendly, and professional staff. Many customers are longtime regulars who find the whole team to be wonderful. The workers are skilled and kind, and the environment does not feel rushed. The color selection is impressive, and nail art and designs are done well, keeping looks fresh and fun. The salon also offers chair massages for backs and shoulders.

However, experiences can be inconsistent. While manicures and gel nail extensions are often great, some services are described as a bit too pricy, with pricing that feels arbitrary. Several reviews mention being consistently underwhelmed by pedicures, with staff sometimes bordering on rude and passive aggressive, creating bad vibes for that service. There are rare reports of a technician not listening, producing sloppy, uneven, and messy work, and being rude, leading to disappointment.

Overall, it is considered a good salon for manicures by many, though some customers express hesitation about returning for specific services or due to cost.

I am a longtime regular at Leo. Everyone there is polite and friendly. Lee usually does my nails and she is the best - but the whole team is wonderful. I love designs and Lee makes sure my look stays fresh and fun! Also, the staff who does chair massages work out my tight back and shoulders.

I am only giving 3 stars because I I usually love coming here, but tonight I had a really bad experience. I tried contacting the salon to no avail so here I am.

When she redid them, the shape was uneven, the paint was messy, and she told me “it will look horrible”. It did in fact look horrible in the end. Not because of my color choice (which she referred to saying it will look bad), but because of how sloppy the work was. I love this place and would like… read full review

Overall this is a good salon. Color selection is impressive. Pricing feelsarbitrary for certain things and definitely a bit more expensive. Nail tech for my gel nail extensions is great.Biggest downside is the pedicurists as I’ve consistently underwhelmed. They have bordered on rude and passive aggressive In how they handle my feet. Bad vibes for pedicures. Good manicures-just a bit too pricy.Services: Nail cut & filing
