Alexs Nail Salon - New Iberia (LA)

5 /5 kayla goodson: At first glance you worry that this place might not be able to give you a good nail job because of it’s location but it is a hidden gem! These women are so talented! They have been able to recreate anything I bring them with ease! And they are very affordable. I’ve paid over 100 at King nails in Lafayette for terrible quality and a fungal nail infection but these lovely women always get it right! So so so so worth it!

1 /5 Youll See: Told her what I wanted with exact photos no less than 5 times and walked out of there with the sloppiest damn nails. The quality of work.... I wouldnt even be surprised if I find out shes not licensed. Even got the acrylic glued fo my actual skin. Its SO bad that I dont even want to go back to them to get it fixed. Every nail is a different shape and length. All bumpy and rough edges. Bubbles and streaks and little indents in the actual polish. Id give them zero stars if it was possible. And yes, it was all pointed out during the service. Just do yourself a favor and just make the drive to Lafayette for Color Nails Club on ambassador.

1 /5 Kaitlyn Journet: Owner was very rude. I get my nails done every 2 weeks with gel extensions and every time, no matter what salon I go to, they soak it off and place a new set. When I asked if they provide this service, they replied yes. So upon starting, another lady asked if I wanted a refill and I replied these are gel extensions and I don’t think it’s possible to just refill it. (Bc no one ever has before) She then told me it is, so I went with it bc maybe they just do it differently?? She shaped my existing nail and one she got to the finger that had completely broken, she grabbed glue and a regular tip used for acrylic. I stopped her at this point and said, “this is gel extensions, that’s what I want.” She replied saying it was gel extensions. But if you know what gel extensions actually are then you know glue and acrylic tips are not used. So I replied, “I’ve never had glue used for my gel extensions” She said, “I don’t care what other people do, this is what I do” At that point it was enough, so I paid her for the cut down and left. False advertisement and crazy attitude. This use to be one of my favorite places but to act like I don’t know what I’m talking about is crazy.

3 /5 Christina “SpazRex”: I came here because of the reviews and pics. I have to admit Im disappointed. I have residue all over my fingers. This was a dip but applied like normal acrylic. Both the ring finger and the pinky finger I have no idea what happened with those they did not come out to good the stones are too big the design is not matching the rest of the nails. In the end I was charged $90 for this set and I do not feel that it was worth $90. If youre looking for a new nail salon I would proceed with caution just in case. I have to figure out how to get off this residue that stuck around my cuticles which is now red.

1 /5 Bradley Chriss: Wish I could say 0 stars. My family uses Alexs so I decided to give them a try earlier this year. The gel nails looks like a child did them then fell off after just a day. Fast-forward a few months and my girlfriend needed her acrylic nails soaked off. Told them exactly that, "soak them off". They proceeded to clip them all then use a pointy nail file to RIP THEM OFF along with layers of healthy nail. Figure they couldnt possibly screw up taking nails off but apparently they just cant do anything with nails correctly. Oh not to mention the judgemental comments the lady made towards her.... Never ever going again and I will tell my whole family to stop going too. Makes me wonder if they actually have training and proper licensing...
