I've been going here for a little over a year and never had an issue until I was there Sat., Dec 6 morning getting a manicure. I did dip with French with a detail (little Santa hat with french... simple) Things were great until I got an emergency phone call while doing the detail. I had apologized and stayed on the phone and kept as still as possible. I didnt mean any disrespect but when my child calls me with an emergency, I had no choice but to talk with him. After the phone call, my nails were completed. The lady that seems to be the manager ? rubbed oil on my cuticles and got up and left. I sat there in the back wondering if I was done or not. No one said a word to me. Just let me sit there wondering. I honestly thought I was waiting on someone doing lotion on my hands Finally after some time goes by, the same lady yells across the room "youre done!". While several people looked at me, I was embarrassed and thought that was very unprofessional and unempathetic. Not sure if this person was upset that I was on the phone with an emergency call ... I could've gotten up and walked away but I honestly didnt want to take up time away from the next person in line waiting. I paid over $60 (with tip) and felt this wasn't right to do and I paid less and got a hand message with lotion. Is this normal practice? I have noticed they stop posting on their social media. I sent a private message last week and no one has responded. read more

Aloha Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

I visited this salon for a pedicure in May, and unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. During the appointment, I felt pain in my big toe as the technician worked on my cuticles and filed my nail. While I didn't think much of it at the time, I did notice discomfort, but there was no follow-up from the technician to check on my well-being. Immediately after the appointment, my toe became extremely painful, swollen, and red, making it difficult to apply pressure. The inflammation persisted for several months. Now, six months later, I've observed that my toenail is completely detached from the nail bed in the area that was originally inflamed. A new nail is growing underneath it. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this salon for nail services. The lack of attention to client comfort, as well as poor hygiene and nail care, led to this painful and concerning issue. I advise others to seek nail services elsewhere to avoid potential discomfort, damage, and unnecessary costs. read more

Aloha Nails - Acrylic New Set - Nail Salons Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

I called ahead of time to make sure they had space for a walk in appointment. The lady told me they didn't have any availability for another 4-5 hours, which I was okay with cause that's give me some time to finish things up. Once I arrived, I checked in, washed my hands, and went ahead & selected the colors I wanted for my nails. I waited for about 5 minutes & they were able to seat me considering it was a busy Saturday. I showed the nail tech what I wanted done, or at least something similar. I asked for short coffin nails if possible, if not I'd be okay with a squoval shape due to myself working with my hands a lot and due to my job. Long story short, he complained when I asked to make them shorter. Whenever I'd ask, he'd passive aggressively file my nails. It's been 3 days and the acrylics are already lifting ... THREE DAYS! I think it's safe to say, I'm not coming back here. I don't understand how I, a paying customer, cannot ask for what it is I want especially for the price I was charged. Side note: Make sure you bring in your own file and buffer when coming in. They ask you for one & if you don't have it they charge you extra ... something I wish I knew before coming in. read more

I filled out a application and was told to come in person. 1st the moved their building to a whole new are so I had to uber with no notice. 2. As soon as I got there the lady looked me up and down and said that they chose somebody else. Most businesses after telling you to come in person would let you know before you wasted your own time traveling to the spot. Not them wasted a lot of time to get here today thinking I'd be able to get the spot. Clearly I was wrong. But it would have been nice if I had a notice that I wouldn't be chosen. read more

I called Friday afternoon right after closing to see if I could book for Saturday anything they might have available for my daughter and myself. I think the receptionist had to turn the computer on, I didn't realize how late it was. But she was very kind and didn't mention anything about them probably just closing. To my surprise we were able to get in at noon the next day and both get manicures and pedicures. My 8 year old daughter wanted acrylics because her cousin had just gotten some for a special event. SMH I'm pretty sure I've only had my nails done for prom and my wedding. My brothers college graduation party is this weekend so that is my excuse. Anyway everyone there was absolutely amazing Savannah did my pedicure and manicure with gel polish. And my daughter had two different techs. I didn't catch their names but everyone was very friendly and made her feel special. We will definitely be back. read more

This place looks basic and small from the outside but don't let the outside fool you. It is bigger and much fancier inside. The decor makes it feel like a step up from the usual nail salons. There's so many workers s stations so you get seen fairly quickly. They've got different pedicures listed starting with the basic which is $30. I only got a pedicure and eyebrows waxed and I was satisfied with both services. read more

Greedy business tactics and mildewed hot towels. I visited Aloha to have a pedicure and hopefully to have my nails done. I had acrylic nails and usually go to a different nail spa as I live in Wilmington. I simply wanted my nails to be cut down and repainted and they told me that I had to do gel polish on my acrylic nails. (Not true). When I told them my current polish was not gel, They still insisted that I had to use gel on my nails. They finally agreed to let me use a regular polish but told me they would still charge me for gel regardless. They were going to charge me $25 just to paint the new polish (not a fill in) this did not include the price to cut them down and file them. I found this to be very greedy. In addition, the towel left a mildew smell on my legs from the pedicure. A complete fill-in at my regular salon is $22! . As my nail tech at my regular salon put it, a lot of salons forget the days when they were hoping one customer would walk through the door. They could've provided the service I needed but refused to do it without forcing me the expense of unnecessary product and jacked the price up to do something very basic. No regard for the customer.I won't return. read more

- CLEANLINESS: This place was very clean! They're taking covid precautions very serious. They take your temp before walking in, and make you wash your hands. You have to wear a mask too. All of their work stations are separated with a plastic shield and they slip every other chair. As soon as someone left a station someone was immediately cleaning it. -PRICING: I got a classic pedicure ($26 nail tech, LAM) and gel was an additional $15. Good pricing for the product. Nails were a bit 'pricy' depending how much you prefer to pay, but he (Tim) did amazing! It was $70 for the set with the design, length and shape. They also allow you to tip on CASHAPP or Venmo which I think is pretty cool if you don't typically have cash. ALL IN ALL: this salon was great. I had an appointment, but they accept walk-ins! I gave 5 stars because they deserve it. I will say, Tim seems to be the most artistic one. If you have them on instagram I think most of those creative designs are his work, and if you're not patient don't ask for him. He left my station to work on someone's nails for art. I don't mind things like that because I'm very picky with my nails and I'd want someone confident in a design instead of attempting and it not look good, but if you'd get annoyed or time crunch try someone else. read more

HORRIBLE- they shaved my real nails down to the point where I got a broken nail by pulling my pants up after using the bathroom FIVE HOURS AFTER THE SET WAS PLACED ON. I'm so pissed bc my nails are strong to the point where each nail tech comes and examines my nails only to find out that yes they are my real nails and yes they are that strong. They didn't shape my nails the way I like but that was fine bc I was gonna get them fixed by my girl when she got back in town. DO NOT GO HERE IF TOU CARE ABOUT THE HEALTH OF YOUR ACUAL NAILS. Also heads up they gave that typical lady nail artist bs talking about " oh you finger crooked " BS. Shops like this are the reason I started doing my own nails- ladies it's cheaper I swear! This is a huge problem bc I had my translator on and I know exactly what they were saying about me- now my gorgeous nails that I've been growing for months are compromised- one even BROKEN. read more

Very pricey for not that great of work. Receptionist/manager was very rude, I felt rushed while in there.

Ive never went anywhere where I had to buy my own tools for them to do my nails! read more

I have been to Aloha before but was extremely impressed this time enough to write a review. I just cut my nails super short because I wasn't planning on getting them done. Spur of the moment I decided to get them done. My friend and I tried to go on a payday Friday night.... bad decision with out an appointment don't do it. We waited 2 hours and we just decided to make an appointment for the next day (Saturday). On Saturday I waited an hour after my appointment time before I was seen because of that I give it four stars. But besides that Ryan did a phenomenal job. He gave me exactly what I told him I wanted and was articulate about it. Once he got started he was very fast as well. I will be a returning customer. It definitely is worth the wait. Just always make an appointment ahead of time. I'm attaching a picture from Pinterest that inspired me on what I wanted and what I actually got done. I'm just totally in awe that Ryan was able to do this to my nails with them being how short they are. read more

Someone told me to go see Tony but he was out and I was in need of a fill so I just went with first available. Wrong move! My nails came out thick and lumpy. The color is uneven and she nipped my cuticle so I have to wait for that to heal before I can go get them fixed! I asked her to shape my nails a little better and she began to complain... She barely filled them at all. The bottle on the desk said Tracey but honestly I don't remember her telling me her name. The acrylic was all over my finger. I gave 2 stars because the shop itself is nice and from what I saw on the girl that referred me someone in there does good work. read more

After reading a ton of reviews and getting lots of suggestions I chose to give this place a shot. So happy I did!! I arrived at 9:45 on Saturday after pay Friday and was seated immediately for dip nails. Love. This is my first time doing this and it's perfect. I also got a pedicure in a fun color. I will be back!! Update: had to come back 45 minutes later, my toe is already chipped! Most likely my fault but they're going to fix it. I highly suggest Tony, he was wonderful! read more

So I made an appointment here after a good friend suggested them to me after I was complaining about how I could not find a good nail salon around here. I made the appointment for 11 and wasn't seen until 11:30. I was not upset about that, I had no problem waiting a few minutes if they delivered quality service. They have a HUGE salon, with lots of chairs, beautiful atmosphere and a huge selection of dip powders and polish. I started out getting my nails done which I thought was strange, but ‍ I decided to do dip powder on my nails. I really received only the dip powder, my cuticles were not touched which I was upset with. I felt like it was not luxurious, and I'm disappointed with the manicure. The end result looks okay, but it could honestly be better. Then I got to the pedicure and was saved. I had Jan do my pedicure and she was very through. I was thankful considering the disappointing/rushed/incomplete manicure that I received. People rave about this place, but i really think it's just okay. I have to say it is really clean, and well kept but I think the service could be better and more thorough. I can't go without saying it is the best nail salon I've been to in Jacksonville so far. *Update* When I went up to pay, I talked to the girl at the front about getting someone to manage my cuticles since my manicurist did not. I was told that when getting the SNS dip powder, I'd have to ask for a manicure as well and it would be $10 extra. For a $40 process, I definitely expected the cutting of my cuticles to be included in the price. For that, it lost another star. I was very disappointed. I'll be using this nail salon in the future, but I'm still on my quest for the best one in Jacksonville. Can't wait to move out of this town. read more

I love Aloha, it's the best nail salon around. The only reason I don't give it a 5 star is because wait times are always long. Even though the the waits can be long, the quality is worth it! They are on the pricey end for the area, but not pricey considering the products are better quality and last longer than their competitors based on my first hand experience. Again, it's WORTH it! The color station is completely organized and each swatch has a reference number where you go to directly grab your color, no digging or hunting. And polish colors that are extra $ are clearly indicated so there are no surprises. If your looking for Coffin style nails, Tony is your guy! He made my nails Pinterest worthy with the nice clean edges and all perfectly proportioned. read more

I would not recommend to anyone. Just went in a week ago and had my nails filled instead of the girl putting a new set on she just filled them. Well now that i payed $42 for a fill they have all fall off in a week. Not happy at all. Call them for them to say it wasnt her fault. Ummm well she is the nail tech and knows when they need to have a new set put on instead of a fill. Then said you can come back and get them fixed but you have to pay for them. So do not recommend. $42 down the drain! Lost a customer! Dont waste your money there! read more

Went to Aloha nails recently for a pedicure, everything was fine initially until the nail tech started cutting my cuticles, now I know that my skin can be dry or resemble in grown toenails so I just always ask them to remove it. Normally this is easy for professionals but the nail tech didn't really seem to want to do it so when I asked her to do it repeatedly she started digging into the sides of my nail beds it made me bleed. I stopped the service and walked to the front of the salon to let them know that I wouldn't be finishing the service but they wanted to charge me for a full pedicure so when the owner came over, he immediately started accusing me of mistreating his employee and stated that they do not remove ingrown toenails. 1) If your salon does not remove ingrowns then why did your nail tech still do it? And 2) The nail tech told me specifically that I did not have an ingrown toenail. He told me that if I did not pay he would call the cops on me. I should have read the reviews before I came here. read more

I came to Aloha because my friend said she had an amazing experience and so I figured I'd try it out. I believe a man named Eric did my pedicure, and while the massage part was amazing... everything else was TERRIBLE. The paint was all over my toe and not painted evenly, I had paint puddles all over each nail. I went to my regular manicurist and she said that he didn't even cut my cuticle back and just painted over that as well! I paid $80 for this and was severely disappointed. read more

I was beyond excited to try Aloha nails since there was great reviews. Went there with my sister and friend after a holiday weekend. We heard it gets very busy so we went right when it opened. Within an hour there was already about 15 women in there wanting pedicures and nails done. I can say I am not happy with my nails. My Shellac starting lifting after less than a week and I got them done 7/6/15. As much as they have great designs I will stick to another Salon that the gel polish doesn't lift in less than a week. I was hoping to make Aloha Nails one of three nails salons I could go to around Jacksonville. read more

Great experience, super busy shop for a reason... They are the best! Kim did my nails and I couldn't be happier, I had a few questions because I wasn't quite sure what I wanted and she was more than happy to answer my questions... I changed my mind a couple times and she wasn't irritated by me at all ( or at least I didn't make me feel like I was irritating her :) ) I will absolutely be back to see Kim again!

I've been a customer here for over 5 YEARS. Over time, Timmy and I have done some really amazing designs, I've laughed with them, and even made friends. Today was my last straw. I made an appointment a couple of weeks back and then was told they didn't have time for what I wanted and instead of working with me I had to deal with it. I got the worst service with the ugliest nails to the point where I was in tears.. Tim's wife hates me for whatever reason. I've been nothing but nice to her but this personal vendetta she has is the reason why I will never be returning. I came in and asked for a specific PEDICURE tech. She runs up and starts going on & on as to why Timmy doesn't have time for me today.... When I came in for a pedicure... it's like she doesn't want me there. At one point in time she waxed part of my eyebrow off... I only go to Mimi for my eyebrows now because of that. Me and Timmy don't have issues... neither do me & my pedicure tech Caesar.... I spend easier $150+ every time I get my nails done. On top of that $55+ for my pedicure. So I'm not some bs customer... I get it, they're busy. But don't treat your customers like crap especially the ones who've been loyal for over 5 years... My nails have been posted on their social media to show them his capabilities and beautiful designs/creations we make together. Ever since Cassie left, I no longer have someone there to protect me from his wife's rage against me... Cassie was the best receptionist and kept that place afloat. Tim, thank you for memories and nails but this is not okay anymore. I am tired of being your wife's doormat and feeling uncomfortable every time I walk in there. Today I was shown how little they care about me as other people got put in front of me as his wife sneered in victory over me. I wish things would've been different. This is not a review based off unsupported facts. This is all my personal experience and with people to back this up. My best friend has come in there with me (without prior knowledge of how his wife acts towards me) and SHE even pointed it out that she seemed annoyed at my presence. I hate that now I have to find someone else like Tim but this isn't worth it anymore. read more

Aloha is the best nail place in town. It's a little bit more expense wise. But it's so worth it. Make sure you make an appointment. They accept walk ins. But you could wait forever.

They actually soak the nails off (other places I've been to down here, peel your acrylic nails off destroying the nails underneath). read more

BEWARE! DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! They're overpriced for the services they provide and charge you for every little thing they do. Things that seemingly should be apart of the service you're paying for originally. Evidently, if you let them know that you're not satisfied with their work or that you want it done a certain way, they easily become intimidated and tell you that none of their techs "feel comfortable" doing your nails, as though your opinion doesn't matter or is not warranted. Find better and cheaper. Do not go here! Services: read more

I've never written a review before bc I know people have bad days but... I thought getting my nails done would help with the bad week I had. My experience: **all OTHER staff are GREAT!** Lady at the desk is weird about who can get jewels on nails. Every time I go to look (been several times), she tells me I can not get them bc I'm not getting acrylic. She wouldn't let me even LOOK. She will come and literally touch me and wave me over to the nail polishes instead? I told her as soon as I walked in that I want a mani and design. She sent me off to a chair and the man painted my nails and sent me off. I then told her again I wanted a design by the guy who does them. She told me I couldn't get a design bc my nail tech already put oil on my nails and it would take up too much time to wipe it off. Yes, She actually said that. I told her that I didn't want to make her do any extra work and she said "let your nail guy know next time". **So just be aware if you want a design** I hope you don't end up feeling like I do. Looked forward to this for 2 weeks. THE OTHER STAFF ARE GREAT. Lady at the front desk needs to learn customer service. read more
