    My nails
    Carol Ann P.

    Leah did an absolutely beautiful job! She evened out my nail shape even better, took her time, and yet was still efficient and high quality! I will most certainly be coming back!

    Roach zoomed in.

    I truly do not know where to begin with the level of disappointment and disrespect. I found this place in 2022, fell in love, and even sent friends and family from Jersey to visit them. I don't know what happened during the year-long sabbatical I took from getting my nails done, but apparently, a lot changed. I called ahead to make an appointment for my friends and me, stating I wanted a design done as I have had it several times before. They have even posted many pictures of my hands on their social media. My friends and I all got builder gel. Despite my one friend starting 20-30 minutes after me, she still finished before me. The man doing my nails immediately had an attitude when I declined acrylic, as it's not my preference. He tried to argue that my nails would break, but I assured him I've had them done here before and they're fine. During the nail tech's constant phone/texting breaks and his ignoring me anytime I tried to talk to him, I had time to notice the roach on the floor behind my friend's chair. I also noticed staff literally walking around it instead of picking it up. After over an hour of this, I had enough and picked it up/ threw it away myself. To make matters worse, after I picked it up, my other friend and I locked eyes at another one, and you guessed it, I also threw it out for them (I hadn't even sat down from throwing out the first one yet). I then returned to my chair, and after being assured the man could do my design, it was very apparent he had no clue what he was doing. I had asked at the beginning and was reassured that if he couldn't do it, we could choose another design. After my friend tried to show him a how-to video, and he displayed my hand to a coworker to then laugh at it, I was unbelievably uncomfortable. These are my birthday nails, and this entire experience and this man's interaction with me were getting worse and worse. But I'm pulling through as I have no other opportunity before my birthday. A lady then comes over to take over, only to reprimand me that I'm taking too long and should have booked ahead of time and checked in with the design, loudly in front of everyone. I'm even more overwhelmed by the public announcement and everything I went through with the guy. I start to get emotional, and my friend has to explain that I literally did all those things. I will say the lady tried, but she tried to rush and only did half the nail versus the entire nail, to which I tried to explain that's not right. She gets upset with me again, saying it won't look exactly like the picture, to which I respond that I know, however, I'm asking for you to do the entire nail like the picture, not 1/4 of it. I then tell her I no longer feel comfortable and just want to leave. She apologizes, and we agree on a plain polish just so I can leave and get out of this situation. After her making it clear I was taking too long while ignoring that the previous employee not only showed a lack of professionalism and spent more dedication to texting and making fun of a very uncomfortable situation, I declined any after service once the nails were done. My friend was given a gift card as an apology for me after she asked to speak with the lady privately, as she is in the industry as well. Honestly, after this experience, I will not return nor would I give that gift card to a friend, and will no longer refer a friend, family member, let alone enemy to this place. Very disappointed in the downfall a year brought. I provided a photo and a zoomed-in photo of the first roach that laid there for almost an hour, or at least from when I noticed it.

    "acrylic" nails

    I just wanted to follow up and say that I spoke with the manager and she was also very lovely and they were very quick and willing to resolve the issue. It definitely came down to a miscommunication and I'll be going in to get them fixed up Saturday. I really appreciate how receptive they were and how quickly they responded and wanted to make the situation better. They had a couple solutions in mind and made sure everything worked with me and I'm just very grateful!!! Wanted to update and say I'm looking forward to giving this spot another chance.

    Jason was so kind and thorough. He made sure the length, color, and shape was just right. Jason took his time filing but anything was efficient, skillful, and gentle. I will definitely be making this my regular nail salon now. I haven't received such kind and high quality service in years until I came to American Nails Salon in Paoli PA. Thank you so much! This kind, gentle, and respectful service is exactly indicative of the kind of sweet and high quality people I value.

    this salon is beautiful and everyone is so nice and welcoming. mia and leah are absolutely amazing. 10/10 recommend coming here

    Bleeding nails

    I did not have a good experience at American nails in Paoli. My nail lady was so aggressive when using the nail shaver around my cuticles. All of my nails started bleeding. I have had many friends tell me this happened too. I payed an outrageous amount for the quality. I should not be paying $75 to be in pain the whole time and not even end up happy. I was with a friend as well and my nail lady started arguing with her over nothing and just kept going. I recommend that you don't come to this place and try and save some money and go somewhere else.

    Thick gel application, rushed design lines, air bubbles, smudged nail

    True Rating 0/5 Experience I came here with the intent to have a fun bridal nail party with my friends. My nail tech - Emma - was talking in Vietnamese to her fellow nail techs not realizing one bridesmaid is Vietnamese and can understand the language. Direct translation - Emma was telling her coworkers that we are ugly, poor, and look like clowns. The Bridal Party is a cheap wedding party - we probably won't tip more than $5.00. She also continued to say that the Bride is a crazy b**** as she walked to her pedicure chair. Not to mention - the bride is a regular client at American Nails and has recommended this nail salon to many individuals. Nail Experience - Emma continued to tell her coworkers since we are a cheap wedding party to not take their time and to just rush. I had to politely ask Emma to reshape my nails as they were squared off on one side and rounded on the other. She started to mumble under breath to her coworker. There are air bubbles in my nails and she did not fix the way she painted my nails - due to her rushing to finish painting my nails. The nail tech doing the Brides nails rushed and even cut the bride while rushing. The gel on the brides nails are also thick and the design lines were not carefully painted on. Payment Time - When it came time to pay for our nails the lady at the front desk said "I shouldn't have booked this party they can't even afford gel - this is such a waste of time". After hearing what Emma was saying some of us stopped our services.

    American Nails has been my go-to nail salon for almost 20 years! Even when I was away at school, I came home and looked forward to visiting the team at American Nails. I even drove from Philadelphia to Paoli to go to them! I recommend each and every person who works at American Nails. They are my go-to for all things acrylic, gel, design, and pedicure. They have never disappointed me in their techniques, and have tackled every new manicure design challenge I present. I recommend making an appointment online before visiting, but I promise, you'll walk away happy!

    I love American nails... they always do such a good job on my nails especially whenever I get a design. I always go to Sam or Tracy when I get dip or acrylic and Judy or Mary for my pedicure but everyone there is very good and does an amazing job.

    Horrible experience explained in photo

    Do not go to this nail salon! Experience explained in photo. The bride to be and group deserved a wonderful time to celebrate and got talked about, judged, and horrible service.

    Poor paint job on all nails.
    Emily S.

    It was the worst mani and pedi I've ever had. I tried to contact them to resolve the issue instead of posting a review but there was no response to my emails.

    Dip ombré nails

    I came here to get my nails done before my engagement pictures. I asked for dip ombré and Wendy delivered!! She was so sweet and really took her time to make sure my nails were all shaped evenly and the color matched perfectly in every nail!! I am so happy I came here for my nails before the shoot. Wendy did an amazing job!! I highly recommend!

    Unfortunately, I have to downgrade my initial rating after my last experience. I've been coming…read morehere regularly for almost a year and have brought multiple others with me including my mom and boyfriend. The pedicures are on the expensive side ($40 for regular pedi) but my first few experiences they were thorough and took their time so worth the price. The last few times I went, I made an appt and showed up on time but either myself or the person with me had to wait 20+ minutes before a chair became available, which defeats the purpose of coming together. I also ended up bleeding during my last visit and was worried about infection. But what really got me is on my last visit, I accidentally knocked against the drying machine after the pedi and had a minor imperfection in the polish, the first time that happened to me. It was so minor that I didn't even say anything but the woman noticed when removing the toe separators and called the nail tech over to fix. I literally said, "it's not a big deal, don't worry about it" but she called the tech over anyway who spent less than 2 minutes adding more polish and top coat. I was touched thinking they really cared about their product/my experience but when I went to check out, they said it would be an extra $10 for fixing the polish so I ended up paying SIXTY dollars for a standard pedi ($40 pedi + $10 tip + $10 touch up that I didn't ask for). It'd be one thing if it was my first time at the salon but I'd been a regular for months.

    I just moved to the area and had to find a new nail place...Lux is fantastic! It's super clean,…read morelight and airy. The gals were amazing! I got a pedicure and fill and since I've had fake nails forever I'm pretty picky about what is good or not and they are great!! So lucky to find them first without having to try several spots!
