Cute-icles nail salon - Fitzroy North (VIC)

1 /5 Fiona Maxton: As per recent reviews new owners of this business have taken over and changed everything locals loved about this little nail salon. The new owners and staff have no idea. Long confusing menu of options that is not very clear. Very slow service - an hour for a basic pedicure. Poor quality - badly shaped nails, uneven polish and finally way overpriced. I had to leave before getting the polish as I had run out of time to stay and was still charged full price. I used to come here for a quick, friendly, well priced service and I won’t be coming back. Such a shame.

1 /5 Kiara Kershaw: Extremely disappointed! This is my local nail salon and have been going here for a year. It is now under new ownership and the price has gone up drastically! I used to pay $55 for SNS and the price is now $70. I was happy to pay $70 but not for what I got. They did such a horrible job. The lady that was doing my nails first walked off, then the second lady that started doing my nails seemed like she didnt even know how to do SNS, the whole process was not right from the start. The shape was uneven and not what I asked for. Then she kept applying so many coats to the point my where my nails were stuck to sides of my skin. They were so messy, ridiculously uneven and THICK ! I spoke up as I did not want to walk out with a worse nails then what I walked in with. I did not mind paying $70 but the service they provide is an absolute joke. I ended up having 3 different ladies doing my nails, it was so inconsistent. The lady that did my nails at the start tried to fix them but they were past the point of being fixed. To be honest I was over it at that point the whole experience was not nice at all. They offered to file them but I went home and cut/filed them myself. Very sad for locals who have been going to this salon for years now getting charged more for a worse job. I will never go to this nail salon ever again.

5 /5 Bec & Terry: I had the best experience at this salon! I was driving by and decided to pop in for some shellac. I ended up getting a brow wax and tint - I think the lady who did them was called Skye, she was amazing, kept them nice & thick - they have never looked better. I also got lash extensions, they’re beautiful and very well priced. I’ll be back, regularly! Thank you ✨

1 /5 Maelle Doublier: New owners just standing at the top of the salon watching over their employees the entire time we were there. Really weird vibe. Staff don’t seem their usual bubbly selves. Price increase as others have mentioned is unreasonable, and what comes standard now is far less than they used to offer. Don’t know what they’ve done to the polish but I tried to take off my “OPI” with regular nail polish remover and underneath my nails look like they’ve been painted white??? My mum experienced this as well. Not sure if they’re using paint thinners to stretch the polish? Disappointing as we used to be regulars here and definitely won’t be returning.

1 /5 Rhiannon Mapstone: WARNING. DO NOT go to this salon. The worst nail techs in Melbourne (apart from the lovely lady Ruby who use to work there!) The woman I saw cut into 4 of my cuticles until they bleed and blamed it on me?! I think she must need glasses. Uneven application, tiny hairs stuck in the polish, breaking nails while filing, bad shaping and to top it off they love to ask really inappropriate personal questions on the topics of reproduction and marriage. I didnt want to write this review, but here I am. If you want a basic pedicure, sure go here. But if you want sns nails done properly, go to GLITZ N GLAM in COLLINGWOOD. FTS.
