Colorado’s Top Rated Local® Nail Salon Award Winner: Lustre’ Nail Studio

Based in Arvada, Colorado, Lustre’ Nail Studio is a favorite of many locals because of their dedication to giving their clients the very best. We are thrilled to announce that this dedication has earned them a 94.3 Rating Score™, making them a 2018 Top Rated Local® award winner!

Lustre’ clients love their nails and have no shortage of nice things to say about the staff and quality of work at the studio. Here are a couple of our favorite reviews they’ve received:

“After visiting a different salon out of state while on vacation, I couldn’t wait to get back to see Michelle. As always, Michelle listened to my ideas and gave me exactly what I was looking and asking for. It’s rare that someone can get the shape and length of my nails how I want them, she does it perfectly every time. Michelle is absolutely wonderful! I called ahead and was able to make an appointment for the very next day. If you can, book an appointment with her online, it’s super easy and just as fast. When I got there, she was early and ahead of schedule (she’s fantastic at time management)! Michelle was so helpful, knowledgeable, and helped bring to life exactly what I wanted. She took her time and was extremely thorough. I highly recommend visiting Michelle, you won’t be disappointed! I’ll be going back to see her time and time again!” -D. S.

“I came across Michelle on a deal app three years ago. I’ve stayed with her ever since! I drive across town for her, just because she’s so great. She’s a skilled beautician and always a pleasure to talk with! She’s creative and very talented with all the services she provides. She’s also very flexible and accommodating to appointments! She’s excellent in all ways possible! Book with her!.” – B. T.

How does Lustre’ Nail Studio keep their clients happy and maintain such an impressive Rating Score? Owner, Michelle Shoemaker was kind enough to take a moment and speak with us about her stellar online reputation. Check out what she had to say:

What is your secret to such a strong online reputation?

I thank my clients after every single appointment, and I always encourage them to leave honest feedback. Most of my clients are loyal and return often, so many of them make the decision themselves to seek out review sites and give me a positive review.

What makes you different? In other words, if you had one minute to sell somebody on why they should choose you, what would you say?

I focus on providing a clean and safe environment, something often (unfortunately) overlooked at other nail salons. Attention to detail in both the work itself and the work environment is a must. I also take the time to educate my clients on our techniques and why we do what we do.

Why do you do what you do? In other words, what is your mission and/or how do you attempt to make the world a better place?

I’ve worked a lot of customer service jobs, particularly in retail. This job allows me to use those skills to create something people get excited about. I love helping people do something to pamper themselves. The people I serve leave feeling “complete” or “finished”, and that’s really fulfilling for me.

Outside of building a strong online reputation, what else do you do to market and grow your business?

We rely pretty heavily on client referrals and word of mouth. Other than that, we strive for a solid social media presence and occasionally run paid ads.

What advice do you have for other businesses trying to build a strong online reputation and grow their business?

Put yourself out there. Find as many ways to get reviews as possible. Also, stay active on social media!


We appreciate you taking the time to speak with us, Michelle! Congratulations on your Top Rated Local award! You deserve it.
