Silk Nail Salon  5 Star Rating - World class

Silk Nail Salon is a very good looking place. It really stands out on Frankling street and I went there once to check it out. One of my nails was broken and the manicurist really did a good job to "grow it out" and match it to the rest of my nails. After I left the salon, my nails really looked perfect and noone would know that one of them was broken just 1/2 an hour ago.

very good  4 Star Rating - Very good

This is the best place for nail care I have tried other salons and none of them compareble to SILK NAIL. They take their time to ensure you are getting pampered and your money is worth. The staff is professional and polite. They always do a fabulous job and the atmosphere is very comfortable. I like extremely clean, soothing music and comfortable chairs there.

Terrific experience. 5 Star Rating - World class

I got a pedicure there just last night and the experience was great. The atmosphere was clean and relaxing, the pedicurist (her name was Jean) was great, very professional. Everyone was was very nice, and the prices were very reasonable. I would go back in a heart beat.

Best Mani/Pedis Ever! 5 Star Rating - World class

I used to go to a more expensive salon (guess which one) but tried Silk at my friend's advice. I'm normally a sanitary freak and am typically afraid of small, cheap nail salons but was impressed by the friendly, english-speaking staff, hospitality (beverage selection), extensive menu, fantastic (high-end) polish selection, amazing massages and clean facilities. I LOVE T's waxing, and Amy and J are so sweet. I am a mani/pedi fiend and go weekly so I like to think I know what I'm talking about. The only problem is that I just moved so it'll be a trek to get to them but it's SO worth it.

Pros: Clean facilities, awesome massages, great polish selection and extensive menu
Cons: Only one location (open more!)

Top Notch Bald Crotch 5 Star Rating - World class

I have been getting brazilian for years. This is the best place. For 30 bux, you get a clean wax, and its quick. I would dare to call it cheap, but that makes it sound like rubbish. I usually am all red and swollen for hours, at Silk, I wasnt irritated at all. I also usually get ingrown hairs, and have to endure the burn and stink of TendSkin. I never got one even irritated pore. Its been three weeks, and with the exception of a few stragglers, I will brobably have to wait another 3 or 4 before I can wax again. I have never written a review, and I thought I had to share.

Pros: Brazilian
Cons: NONE

Best Customer Service! 5 Star Rating - World class

I have been going to Silk Nail Salon for years and as most of you all know they are great! But I had to most amazing experience there last Saturday that I wanted to share it with all of you. First and foremost I had never been on a weekend before and couldn't believe the spread of food that they had for everyone to enjoy. There was granola and fruit, hummus and pita, cookies, croissants, etc. Secondly, as I was getting my pedicure the owner noticed that I was getting a parking ticket because I was so relaxed that I forgot to ask her to feed the meter. She felt terrible even though it was clear that I could have cared less. As I was leaving admiring my newly manicured nails and toes she stopped me and gave me a gift certificate for a free pedicure. Even though it was not her fault that I received a parking ticket she felt awful and wanted to make up for it. I was more then shocked. It was totally unnecessary, but the best customer service experience that I have had anywhere. I usually only get a manicure and pedicure there on special occasions, but she's made a customer for life. I'll never go anywhere else. Thanks again Silk!

Excellent Value! 5 Star Rating - World class

I have been all over the city and Silk remains my favorite place. They have the little details down (heated lotion, hot towels, candy) and they give the best and longest massage which is my favorite part. Plus, the polish lasts forever, much longer than at other salons. Bottom line is that this is the best place to go, especially considering the price!!

Pros: Great massage, nice employees who do not talk amongst themselves!!
Cons: Sometimes you have to wait for a spot at the drying station, but never long
