My new favorite nail place since my nail tech left from Soho! Emily is amazing at nails AND fast. Love her new place! I send everyone I meet here, and also I've always had the best service.

Cindy did great on my nails. The shellac stayed strong even after 2 weeks. The picture with the dark color shows the nails after growing 2 weeks and the French was done with some colorful sparkles for the holiday season. Adam does very well with pedicure and massage. Highly recommended

She charges a lot for acrylics but the quality is honestly very poor. She doesn't listen to what you ask for, the acrylic is extremely thick at the tips, and the French designs come out uneven and messy. Overall, the service is overpriced and not done well at all. read more

I asked for a mani pedi and walked out with a pedi and a hole in the side of my foot from over sanding. When I complained they blamed me and said I got it from shaving. Never coming back here again. I finally left when they tried using used Emory boards on my nails and that was the last straw. They told me to 'go see a doctor'. And yelled at me on the way out. Don't come here. read more

This is my go to nail spa now. After years of going to a place near me that went downhill, we switched over to this place. They are always accommodating. I love the pedicure that is the next level after the basic. It not only comes with an extra scrub, it comes with a mud mask for your legs. My legs feel sooo soft and smooth after! I get the gel manicures too! Give this place a try! read more

This spa is a true hidden gem! Being new to the area, I've been to several nail salons trying to find someone who actually does a good job, listens to what I want and taking pride in their work... it's been super frustrating! I went to #1 Nail Spa in hopes of just having the acrylic gel taken off for good but when I explained to Sam why I was frustrated he assured me that he could get the result I was looking for. He was right! I am so happy, he was able to correct the awful results from the last two salons - literally tears of happiness over here!! Thank you Sam! Highly recommend!! read more

I went here a few weeks back with my sister to get a liquid gel extension manicure. While I thought they did a great job, I noticed a little white dot at the base of the extension a few days later. I went to the doctor today because the dot has grown, and turns out it is FUNGUS. I got fungus in my finger nail from this place and I am very grossed out. This has never happened to me before, but I noticed their shaving tools were filled with nail debris from previous customers. Also, the pinkeyes nail fell off within 4 days. I will not be returning. read more

This spa is tucked into the strip mall by lidl. They offer appointment booking on their website which is how I ended up going the first time when the place across the street was busy. You walk in to the lovely fragrance of lemongrass and see an large array of dips, gels and polishes. They have pleasant music playing and no TV, so it is a relaxing experience. read more

I recently went here for dip powder on my nails, and there is a new owner that I met who is lovely. Her name is Emily and she does a fantastic job with my nails! She was very polite, and creative when it came to picking out a color/design. She showed me these cool options like CHROME nails, and it looked like what the Hollywood movie stars get!! I found this salon to be very clean, and the chairs for the pedicure are super comfortable. I highly recommend this nail salon, and I am excited to see how the new ownership will make changes to the salon! read more

The nail salon i had booked (for the Fourth of July) called me at the last moment to cancel. It was 6:45pm, #1 Nail Spa closed at 7PM. It was local to my home, and I dropped in to #1 Nail Spa at 6c:45pm to ask if they were open on the 4th. Cindy said: Do you have time now. YES!! And she stayed 1-1/2 hours late to do a mani/pedi, lip & eyebrow wax!! Not only did she accommodate me... but she suggested colors to match with the dress I was wearing to a wedding. She was sweet, attentive, excellent in her work.... I couldn't recommend her more. The fact that she stayed so late to make me beautiful just impressed me so much!!! Thank you Cindy.... will be back many times in the future!!! read more

Cindy is horrible. I stopped by asking her to do acrylics, she did SNS, completely lame and uneven Job. Also she picked horrible colors, when I asked her to do French. I ended up with lavender glitters, like some sort of stripper. All the time I spent there she tried to sell me waxing and was extremely mean. Charged me 75$ and had the audacity to ask for the tip upfront. For doing THIS to my nails - she should be paying ME!!! Doesn't know what she's doing at all, all she cares about is money !

I'm so disappointed to say that today I've experienced the worst pedicure of my life. I had a 4:00pm appointment that I booked online. The technician that I had was very young, kept calling me "bro", and was literally playing a video game on his phone while he was giving me a pedicure! I had yellow polish on my toes from the last pedicure I had here. The technician was scrubbing them with a tool and I told him that it was regular polish, not shellac. He said I know, and kept going over them with this metal tool, which was a little painful. Then he cut my toenails with the polish still on, removed the polish, and barely filed my toenails. He tried scrubbing my feet awkwardly, which was very ticklish so he just stopped. Then he took some water out of the foot bath and put it all over my legs and rubbed them down with a scrub and then removed it. I received no lotion, and then he placed hot towels on each of my feet. The technician said that something bit him and went into the back room for a while. When he returned he was playing the game on his phone. I felt like I was in a Seinfeld episode. There were no other customers or employees working when I received my pedicure which was strange because they are usually busy and it was only 4:00. When the nail tech painted my toenails it was very rushed, he barely let the base coat dry and he began applying the polish. I've included pictures so you can see the terrible paint job, my dry feet and yellow nail polish still visible from my last appointment. I also have a rash from the aggressive scrubbing. I let the polish dry under one of the dryers but it was hard to see the details due to dim lighting. When I got out to my car in the sun I was very disappointed. My feet were much better off BEFORE this pedicure.

Today Tai worked very hard to get me the shape I wanted. A pet peeve of mine is when my nails aren't uniformly filed. Gel or dip is going to cover some filing inconsistencies but I feel my nails hold their shape better over time when they're filed uniformly from the start. Highly recommended...all their nail techs are great.

Emily did a great job on my nails this past Friday. She was very friendly, professional and patient. The environment was relaxing and the music was soothing. Based on the excellent customer service she demonstrated, I've decided to make the switch to her salon from another salon. read more

I have been going to Emily when she was at Blissful Nails and followed her to #1 Nail Spa in Cary. She is one of the best. I live in Holly Springs and this is an additional 10 minutes further but she is worth the drive. Very relaxing atmosphere. read more

We booked online for 2 appointments but never got confirmation. It appears the system is new and glitchy but they didn't have our appointment. For me going to get a pedicure is something I look forward to. As a mom of 5, this is a treat. Upon walking in I was met with a smell of cat urine. The employee in the store directed me to pick out a color. I'm sensitive to smell and never acclimated to the urine smell. All fine but it wasn't an experience I loved. So if you are looking for a quickie this is a good spot...but for $43.00 I like to have an experience.

You could tell she was hard-working and was extremely personable. We even changed seats so that I could sit next to my wife during the service, and we spent a lot of time chatting getting to know each other as she was running the salon! She did such a good job and was so kind that it made me consider if I wanted to get a manicure myself actually! We were big fans of her, and I've been looking for a good place to get her nails done anyway, so we're super excited! She even gave my wife a hug at the end, super sweet and nice local business to support!

The customer service upon arrival from the manager was much appreciated while waiting for my tech to finish up another client. The ambiance is very relaxing and spacious here.
