I stopped in without an appointment and Philip was able to help me. He did a really nice job. French manicure and pedicure in gel. He was very busy but he fit me in. Try to make an appointment when you come in. I liked the fact that the salon was fairly quiet, even though they were very busy. I have real nails. No acrylics. read more

1 Nails - Gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Bel Air, Maryland

Stay away from #8 -- Phu Hoang. He was extremely rough while doing my hands and feet. My nails only lasted a few days before several broke and the gel polish began to peel. When I went back to have them fixed, he had an attitude and insisted I must have hit something. I wasn't interested in arguing--I just wanted them fixed so I could leave. If I were ever to return, I definitely wouldn't let him touch me again. They have Zelle, cash app and Venmo. read more

I wish I had taken the tip from a previous reviewer, regarding Phu Hoang, at station 8. I walked in 5 days ago and he was available. This was only my second visit to this place and the last time I had the last at station #9. Phu was a tad rude and my gel nails are already chipping and my cuticles are sore. I've never had that happen, unless I was doing hard labor or something. If I do ever return, I would definitely decline services with him. read more

I got a Manicure and pedicure as well as eyebrows I paid for the signature pedicure which is an extra 10$ for the scrub not to be completely washed off my legs, they did not give me a callus removal nor did they clean underneath my toe nails. It was rushed through and they were extremely rough! When I got my eyebrows done they didn't remove all the hot wax from my face. I will not be returning! read more

Terrible service at this location in Bel Air. Female manager is rude. Please do not send coupons that cannot be honored. I went on 9/9/23 and she would not honor it for a later date as she was booked both on 9/9/23 and 9/10/23. My daughter comes from Virginia to take me and is only available on the weekends. When she asked if they would honor the coupon after 9/13/23 she wouldn't. Also, when you request two people to use a specific nail technician like Vuong (Ben) Nguyen she refuses to do so. On 9/9/23 my daughter requested Ben Nguyen for myself with a dipping manicure and pedicure; and herself a dipping manicure only. The female manager tried to say he doesn't work on Sunday but I have been there on Sunday's in the past. I find the manager very rude and will be sure to tell others that I know not to use 1 Nail salon in Bel Air. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Ken did my nails on Tuesday and I'm extremely happy. The salon is very quiet and extremely relaxing. I have been getting my nails done for years and this is the first time I'm actually extremely satisfying with my shape! Prices are also extremely reasonable! You get what you pay for!!!!!! read more

What in the what? How does this have three stars on Yelp? I grew up in Abingdon Maryland and moved to Alaska found a great nail technician there... a man named Den in the Dimond Center mall for anyone curious about visiting Anchorage Alaska. Lol. Two years after I moved back to Maryland and moving to Northeast MD due to my job it was time to find a nail tech that was able to do stiletto (pointy) or almond (with a slightly less pointy tip) someone who is professional and not sloppy. Previously I hadn't gotten my nails with a regular tech since 2016 in Anchorage, AK for a special event. Fast forward to me finding Ken at #1 Nails. Every time they are beautiful and just what I want. He is a perfectionist and very focused. I'm not sure what the complaints are about because I haven't read them yet but I will say since I grew up in the area they have surprisingly rude clientele. Either way I feel the place manages that very well too. Ken does my nails at #1 Nails in Bel Air MD! I never see anyone else! Perfect shape all the time!! read more

Won't go again Only good thing was the color I got 3 people that came in after me got seen before I did, the man didn't clean my nails up properly before he filled them and didn't even take his time painting them. Then on top of that he didn't even put on a top coat. I had broken a nail and wanted them fixed right away and I was nearby but wish I would have went to my regular salon! DON'T RECOMMEND!! read more

I had not been to this location since it came under new ownership. I came in on a Sunday afternoon as they were able to get us in for one pedicure and one dip manicure. The place is small but cute, even with an appointment, we waited 15-20 minutes to have our services started. My friend had a pedicure, she said it was good and she would come back again. The massage chairs were nice and they used clean tools from a sealed pouch, and they offered several options for pedicures and extra options too. She did the classic pedicure $28 and said she would get it again. I had the dip manicure with Ken as my tech. He did a great job, my French tip dip looked great and lasted almost a month. It was $45 for the French dip, which is the general price in the area for that service. We would go back. read more

Update: I've been here twice since my first visit. The man at front has 0 customer service skills and barks orders at customers, including me, and isn't even that good at doing nails. I like the work of the one lady but even she's kinda rude too. Went in during a random weekday afternoon for a fill and gel polish change. It was slow and they were able to see me right away. I think my lady's name was Linda. It was one of the best times I've ever had my nails done. She took her time to properly shape, file, buff my nails. She even made sure my cuticles were perfect (which many of these cheap walk-in type nail salons don't do). She didn't say much to me at all - which I actually prefer. I will definitely come back again! read more

I used to love coming here to get my nails done, they always looked good and the employees took their time. Nowadays when I go my technician (the owner) rushes me and is very rough while handling my hands. That doesn't go for all the technicians, if you want good looking nails book an appointment with Sam or Linda. Update: The day after I got my nails done (I got them done this past Friday, so we are talking Saturday) they broke! All I did was grab my phone and my nail broke off right at my nail bed, luckily it was a painless break! But I had planned to go back the next day, Sunday, and get my nail fixed. Unfortunately the hours on Sunday don't fit my schedule today, 1-6, and their hours are 11-4. So now I have to wait until Monday. read more

So, after not coming here for nearly two years, I decided to give them a try again as my regular place was not available. So glad I did! Minh has been absolutely amazing. Very personable and accommodating to my special request for my nails. Easy to schedule the appt online. Will keep coming back. read more

I got the classic pedicure and they did a great job and were very polite. The place is clean and pretty. I got a really nice massage and she did a great and neat job painting my nails. I will definitely be returning here next time! read more

Ken is the best! I get my dip mani done by him all the time. It is clean and they have an ATM! Perfect for when you forget cash for a tip.

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SERVICE. A young man did my nails and i left with nothing but wet messed up acrylic powder. He had completed my nails with chrome glitter and left a glitter mess everywhere on ONE hand. I asked him if he could please take the excess glitter off the one hand to match the other and he told me no. He told me he would not fix my nail and that I needed to pick a whole new design. I asked him to just fix the two messed up nails and he told me no. He would not because he didn't want to. I asked him to take my nails off and that I would not be returning & he told me NO because HE DIDNT HAVE TIME. After I have been here for an hour and a half I had to walk out during my acrylic soak because the workers were talking about me and the person doing my nails put A HAND UP TO MY FACE and told me to STOP TALKING. After staying at this nail salon for 5+ years. I will NEVER return and I strongly suggest that nobody else does either. read more

This used to be my favorite nail salon.. for over 12 years they always made me feel at home. I loved getting my eyebrows done, manicure, pedicure.. one stop shop. One day, I went in for a Mothers Day mani pedi and it was the worst experience I'd ever had. And I've been to the beauty school for a mani pedi. Then they got a new waxing girl, who constantly insulted me. As in every time I went in. So I stopped going. That doesn't mean they aren't good, it just means I have had enough negative experiences to never go back. read more

My friend and I had an appointment for 6:00 and weren't seen until 6:40. The staff was friendly enough though, and they did a good job. One of the male nail technicians could have been much gentler on my hands though, the skin around my nails is raw from the "sanding" tool they use. One of the female technicians did a sub-par job on my friends nails. They were true to their pricing, but a little more on the expensive side. Will probably choose somewhere else to go next time. read more

This place has zero customer service. I can't even speak on their skills because I ended up leaving before they could do my nails. I sat there waiting for 40 minutes. Even asking simply of them to make my water warmer was a hardship for them. I wouldn't give my money to this place. If you're looking for a nice, friendly nail salon that cares about its customers, don't go here. read more

Love this place! First discovered it last month when I was home visiting. Now, I'm back here again.

I really wanted to like this place. The first time I walked in, Ken did a beautiful dip/powder set and I thought I found my new place. I scheduled my next appointment immediately. Within a week one of my nails chipped so I called and they told me to come back to get it fixed. when I got there I decided I wanted to see if they were just ask good with pedicures. One of the ladies did my pedicure - seemed okay but nothing more than that. Ken wasn't available so he had someone else fix my nail. It wasn't shaped as nicely or smooth at all but I didn't complain since I knew I had an appointment in the next week and a half. Once I got home I was able to see that my toe nail polish was absolutely HORRIBLE! it was hard to tell at the shop because of the color I picked. I called and they told me to come back the following Monday. When I got there, Ken was the one to "fix" my toe polish. He literally just added 3 thick ass coats of paint on top of the already uneven polish and top coat. I was so shocked and fed up, I just left. Normally I would have said something but why do I have to tell a professional how to do their job? I contemplated cancelling my next appointment but ultimately decided to keep it. Went in today for my appointment with Ken and he was not there so someone else did my nails. I decided to go with an acrylic overlay this time so I would know for sure it would last longer than the dip. Nails look mediocre at best- different shapes and sizes. I also got a polish change on my toes- again, a mess. Their work is sloppy and careless. I'm really disappointed because I was trying out these simple services before committing to them being my new go-to place. I like to get my nails done regularly and I tip very well when the tech actually does a good job. I'll be going back to luminous until I find a place better than there as well. Don't waste your money at #1. I still gave a tip each time because I'm a kind person but not nearly as much as I normally would. read more

Dirty! I saw a roach crawl across the floor. Staff were not friendly.

I'm very surprised at the negative reviews for this place. The technicians are friendly and don't gab loudly and unprofessionally. Kathy, whom I always book, is the best. She is extremely thorough. My gel manicures I get with her are the best I've ever gotten. She's precise and patient, and will match your desired level of conversation. I have zero complaints about this place: friendly staff, excellent nail service. read more

Not a good place to go, the first time I went here they murdered my 3 finger nails. My 3 nails were bleeding, and the 2nd time they just left me almost an hour to dry my toenails!!! Never gonna come back here again read more

Poor customer service. My cousin and I walked in. We were greeted promptly however were not told that there would be an extreme wait. We seated ourselves. At no point did anyone address us or let us know there would be a wait or how long for that matter. After watching a customer come in who had scheduled a appointment at 3pm be told that she did not and forced to take a 330 I knew I couldn't support a establishment that did not care or respect it's patrons. My cousin and I chose to leave. We were not even told goodbye or wait what can we do as we left. Being a small business owner of 15+ years I would never want to give this image and impression to a new customer. It has helped me to look a little deeper into the customer service at my own work place. read more

I've been coming to the salon to see Linda and she is AWESOME. One Friday was very busy and there was a 30 minute wait. Linda is worth the wait and I had my earbuds and Netflix! About 20 minutes into my wait the older gentleman that sits behind the counter summoned me to come over and I assumed that he was just going to take my polish off. When I came in I told them I only needed a fill because I left the color of a dress I was going to wear at home. He started on my nails and asked if I need a cutdown, I said yes looked up at the price board to make sure I was only paying $16 dollars for the fill. He stated that "the cut down is $3 and to take the gel polish off was $3 so he was charging me $22 total!!!......Really?! Normally a cut down is no-charge when getting your nails done and who charges to take polish off. Normally I do get gel nails but I was going to change the color I needed to match a dress the next day. He was nasty about it and I was HOT but I needed my nails done. I'll miss Linda but they will never see a dime of my hard earned money again. A mean old man!!!!! read more

i've been going here for a while, and they have been going down hill a little bit. the past two trips have not been good. i went yesterday (Oct. 25, 2019) to get my nails done for homecoming and ther was barely anyone in there and i sat and waited for 25-30 minutes while technicians were walking around the salon acting like they didn't know what to do. when i finally got taken i was giving the owner of the store. the previous time i got my nails done (acrylics) i was not impressed with his work, considering her was the owner of the place i feel ljke he should've been better. i will not be returning due to the past few visits. read more

In the past month, I have sat waiting in the pedicure chair for 50 minutes and 30 minutes before leaving. Why can't they admit when they don't have the staff or time to perform their service. When you do get in, they do a good job. Not friendly. I won't be back. read more

I love this place, plus they just remodeled. I messed up my toes while shopping, my fault I left too early, when I went back they redid what I had messed up and wouldn't take additional tip. Plus polish stays on forever. Would recommend, everyone is so pleasant. read more
