Reviews

I absolutely love my Manicurist

"I absolutely love my Manicurist Ultimate Routine for damaged nails! And WHAT A DIFFERENCE this routine has made for my nails! They look so much better and healthier. I’ve even combined the “Routine” with my new Cranberry nail polish, and it looks so pretty, yet simple, on my nails! The natural look is so welcoming and refreshing on my nails! I’m a new user for LIFE now. Thank you so much, Manicurist!"

— Margaret H. (5/5)

J'ai essayé la routine pendant

"J'ai essayé la routine pendant 1 mois car j'avais des ongles cassants, mais ça n'a pas changé mes ongles. Étant à ce moment là en post partum et allaitant, je pense qu'il s'agit plutôt d'un taux de fer bas, et donc il me faut une cure de vitamines. J'adore le masque SOS de nuit, l'huile verte et le keratine booster. Je n'utilise pas la base SOS. Je conseille cet achat : permet de soigner ses ongles entre deux manucures."

— Cécile G. (5/5)

This treatment revived my brittle

"This treatment revived my brittle nails! I am even proud to wear them bare with no nail polish now! I used to hide behind nail polish. After two weeks, they look healthy and strong!"

— sara.saadouni@gmail.com ‎. (5/5)

"Never recieved. Tried multiple times to reiterate that my package was not moving. Eventually had to dispute the charge with my credit card company. It wasnt until then they wanted to replace it under the condition that I cancel the dispute. Worst customer service I have ever recieved. Which is suprising for the quality of product. Super disappointed all around, makes me think twice before ordering."

— Meghan (1/5)

SUPER HEATHLY NAILS I have

"SUPER HEATHLY NAILS I have to say it took just a bit longer to see great results (but I stuck with it and applied the products as recommended for an additional 2 weeks. The before pic was taken 7/1 and the after pics were taken 7/30. They are moisturized from the products and no longer dried out and cracking. Even the skin around the nails looks healthier. I purchased the hydrating serum too, which is a wonderful treat! I am a fan."

— Janet S. (5/5)

Ho 65 anni,le mie unghie

"Ho 65 anni,le mie unghie erano fragili e brutte da vedere,dopo il trattamento sono ritornate perfette come una volta. Ho già rifatto un altro acquisto perché ho deciso che userò sempre prodotti i prodotti manicurist!!"

— errico.cesira@yahoo.it ‎. (5/5)

Yay!!! It works.

"I was really looking for anything at this time. My nails keep chipping and breaking. Nail salons only made it worse, but from day 1 I could tell this was different. My nails absorb the keratin and oil right away. I'm now 2 weeks in, continuing the process, and I am about to order their nail polishes. Can't wait to have nice-looking, natural polished nails."

— Brenda B. (5/5)

Ridges Be Gone

"Finally found a product that works like it says it will. My ridges have virtually disappeared. My nails look healthy and presentable. The mask is quite a mystery since it works overnight to add hydration to the nails. And the oil is a very nice bonus."

— Sharron C. (5/5)

Il y a 2 mois

"Il y a 2 mois mes ongles etaient tres abimes et tres mous. Cela fait 1 mois que j utilise la routine stater mes ongles revivent. Ils sont devenus dures et ont vois la couche de l ongle se réformer. Super produits."

— valerie L. (5/5)

Top dans l'ensemble Mes ongles

"Top dans l'ensemble Mes ongles commencent à retrouver un aspect correct. Déçue de la base sos par contre. Il s'enlève d'un rien une fois sec, peu importe le vernis que je place au dessus ou le top coat pour protéger. Du coup ma manucure finale ne tiens pas."
