About Fancy Nails

On Allen Rd in Melvindale, Fancy Nails is a nail salon that takes walk-ins rather than scheduled appointments. The service list includes white tip and white polish nail sets alongside standard manicure and pedicure options. Pricing is quoted up front, though extra charges can apply for pedicures, fill-ins, or added color beyond the initial quote, so it helps to confirm the total before the service begins. The salon opens daily, giving flexibility for those dropping in without a set plan.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often describe getting a pedicure or manicure, with full sets and shellac finishes named as the more successful visits, including a white tip set with shellac paired with an eyebrow clean up and praise for a wide range of color choices. Close behind, several reviewers describe pricing as a recurring frustration, saying charges didn't match the posted wall pricing, a fill-in that jumped up unexpectedly after a colorist's error, and a white full set that came out spotty and thick before a second coat was offered to fix it. Others describe rushed pedicures with rough cuticle work, uneven polish, and stylists unable to complete requested designs or shapes like coffin nails. One reviewer, who works in the beauty industry, raised concerns about the salon's cleanliness and sanitation standards during their visit. On stronger visits, reviewers note being fit in right at closing and receiving a free hand lotion after a pricing dispute was resolved.

    “I only visited this salon because my regular place was closed and I happened to have the day off. Unfortunately, this was easily one of the worst pedicures I’ve ever received. From the beginning, the service felt rushed and lacked attention to detail. The technician was extremely rough while removing my old polish with the drill, to the point where I had to pull my feet away multiple times because it was uncomfortable. The cuticle work was also poorly executed—she only cleaned around the nail beds, neglected the sides of my nails, and cut my cuticles so aggressively that two of them nearly bled. The pedicure itself was equally disappointing. My feet were barely scrubbed, yet there was no hesitation in pulling out the hot stones for a quick pass over my feet and legs. By the end of the service, none of my nails were trimmed or shaped consistently, leaving them uneven in both length and appearance. I’m not sure if the polish used was old, but I’ve never experienced such lumpy, uneven application at any other salon. When paying $50 for a basic pedicure, I expect at least a decent level of service and attention to detail. Unfortunately, it was clear that my service was completed with very little care or precision. In addition, the overall cleanliness of the salon left something to be desired. As someone who also works in the beauty industry, proper sanitation is non-negotiable, and certain aspects of my visit raised concerns about whether cleanliness (& licensing) standards were being consistently upheld. I understand that everyone can have an off day, but this experience did not reflect the level of professionalism, care, or quality I would expect from a licensed professional.”

    “The new owners/workers are worse than the old owners. Theyre trying to watch a tutorial while doing the pedicure, the couldn't do the design, tried multiple times then said "no design ok?"... you need to practice on fake hands and go to school before coming to work in a salon.”

    “If I could give this place zero stars I would!!! Absolute worst customer service. I had an appointment with Harrison at this location and my 4 year old daughter tagged along to get pampered. When I walked in there were 5 employees and only …”

    “Please do not spend your money here. Tonight was the second time that I was over charged. The first time was for a pedicure. The lady act like she didn't hear me when I said that I just wanted the standard pedicure - I let it go and paid. Tonight I went for a fill-in that has been the same price for almost a year- $45. The new guy doing my nails was getting the color wrong, so everyone started helping him out. Then, I was charged an extra $5 for my fillin. Why? The extra work he did was not my fault. I don't like confrontation, so I just went to my car and got the $5. Then, one of the ladies gave me a free hand lotion because she knew he was wrong. I will NEVER go back there. I do not like supporting businesses that take advantage of the people in the community their business is in. Don't let these businesses take advantage of you. They forget without customers there is no business.”
