Sassy Nail Salon - Peoria Heights (IL)

4 /5 Paige Buschman: I enjoyed my experience today over all. The pedicure looks good and the technician was pretty thorough overall especially with the massage. The place did feel a little outdated. And in that sense, while I dont think anything was actually unclean, it felt like everything was worn. The technician I had also clearly smokes cigarettes because I could smell it faintly when we walked in and again after he left for a moment when our nails were drying. Also they did not have a drying station which I found different from my other experiences. They have a rewards-based punch card program which I think is super cool!! I definitely didnt have a bad experience at all but I might try a few other places before making this my go to.

1 /5 Katherine Warren: I went into sassy nails to get my nails done this summer right before my vacation. I got dip on my fingers and my child got their fingers and toes polished which was done so fast that her polish was already chipped off a day later. The man did 1 layer of dip which I thought was odd (seeing that the woman who did my nails the times prior did 3 layers) but I figured he knew what he was doing. Not even a week into getting my nails done, 2 of my nails were completely cracked and chipped and one had streaks in it. I reached out to the salon to see if they would give me a discount on my next appointment which I already had scheduled. The man told me he would give me 5 dollars off. I told him that didn’t seem fair since 2 of my nails were messed up from being done so poorly and asked if they would discount the price of 2 nails for a total of 9 dollars off. The man said no. Such poor service from him and even worse service making things right when he was at fault. I wouldn’t recommend going there and if you do, I’d recommend that you ask the women to do your nails because the man there clearly rushes and doesnt do the full service you are paying for. Disappointing to say the least.

5 /5 Karen Dunne: The manicurist provided an excellent and relaxing pedicure. She also did a wonderful job on my wedding nails

5 /5 Samantha Gooch: Theresa has knocked it out of the park twice for me now! I’ll definitely be back!

1 /5 KJ Soleil: Just this year, I started getting my nails "dipped" - at a DIFFERENT salon in town. I loved the results, but had trouble getting an appointment there. So I thought Id try Sassy. Sassy has a large selection of dip powders. But, unfortunately, their brand of powder cracks and chips off after 3 days. (My other salon uses OPI brand. THEIR dip lasts for over 3 weeks with no chipping.) But thats not the worst part of my experience at Sassy: When I called 4 days after my dip and told the owner about the cracking (please see photo)... and respectfully asked for an appointment to have them redone, the REAL rudeness started!!! The owner was PROFOUNDLY rude, arrogant, and disrespectful!! Somehow the cracking and chipping was ALL MY FAULT. I politely maintained my insistence to get them redone. He Granted me an appointment. I walked in, showed him the broken nails. After arguing, blaming me, he relented... "but this is the LAST TIME!!" he says... WHAT?? Ive only ever been there once! Hes right about "the last time"... I wasnt planning on returning. Ever! That appointment was a VERY uncomfortable sullen 40 minutes. I dont expect much from a nail salon. Im paying $45 for nice-looking nails that stay nice until my next appointment 2 weeks later...Its always pleasant to chat with the person whos holding your hand for 30-40 minutes... but even a comfortable cheerful silence is okay... Its been a week since I had them redone by Mr. Arrogant. 5 nails have already broken off, Again. And, no, I am not going back there to have them re-redone!
