I had a great experience here! I asked for acrylics with a red French tip, but ended up changing my mind & keeping them nude. The price was very reasonable/average for what I got, just do your research by stopping in beforehand to stop you from being blindsided! After tip, my service was about $60, which like I said, is very reasonable. Ny nail tech was super friendly & fast & I enjoyed my visit. It was a Friday and Athens also has a huge college/teen girl population so there was a crowd, but I didn't mind the wait. I waited for about 25 minutes before being started on which wasn't bad at all. I'd definitely suggest making an appointment if you can to avoid waiting! The nails lasted 4 weeks which was great! They still looked good too I'll definitely be back, these nails were seriously beautiful!

The workers here are polite and efficient! I got my nails done last minute and it was not only quick but the result was better than the reference photo! The atmosphere is so calming and I cannot wait to come back!

Nail infection.

I went to this nail salon while visiting my mother in Athens. I had driven there from Atlanta since nail services are much less expensive in Athens, and I chose this place because they'd been around so long and had good reviews on Google, so I assumed it would be a good place to get Gel-X nails done for a music festival. I was having a good experience at first. When Helen was curing my nails with the UV light, I could tell that something was wrong because I quite literally felt my nails burning a lot more than usual for Gel-X. I was wincing in pain. She put my entire hand into the lamp each time she needed to cure an individual nail, rather than painting all 10 and using a small finger-sized individual light on each single finger and then putting the whole hand in, which is the proper way to do them. So basically all of my nails were cured 1-10 more times than they should've been. I'm assuming why they all popped off the next day. Nails should never BURN the way they did during a new set, and they especially should not fall off the next day and then proceed to get INFECTED. All ten of my nails proceeded to pop off within 12 hours, and I didn't have time to go back. I requested a refund and was told I could get a new set for free, which would've obviously been a waste of time, or I would have to wait ~2 weeks for the manager to come back in town. I waited, and during that time, the leftover gel-x glue that was still stuck to my nails had broken at least 6 of my nails in half within 8 days. 5 days after that, I had a nail infection. My left middle finger was incredibly swollen and had green pus under the skin around my nail. This hurt to touch for about two days. Then, I tried to make it (again driving all the way from Atlanta to deal with this) to the salon to show them and get a refund, after work before they closed as it was the only day I was able to make it, and I was not able to make it in time. I had to leave for Brazil in the next few days, so I wouldn't be able to go in person. By the way, at this point, I absolutely would not have ever accepted a service from them ever again, free or not, which was a ridiculous offer and not at all equivalent to a refund. I texted the manager whose phone number I was given, and shared this information. I explained thoroughly what had happened, and I sent photos and videos of my broken and infected nails. I was told I would only be given a 50% refund, according to "their policy," so I explained politely that I was scared to let the salon work with my nails again so the free service would not be sufficient. I also explained that due to my suffering, I actually deserved more than a 100% refund, but that I would accept just my money back, and the manager quite literally ghosted me. No response since then. I cannot believe how careless this salon is with their customers, and I feel extremely disrespected as a person and taken advantage of. I am now working with a personal injury lawyer to fight this. This review is another attempt to communicate with the owner a second time before pressing charges as I am willing to accept a full refund, but also a warning to anyone considering going to this salon. For the sake of your finances and your time and health, please don't.

Had an appointment with Jenny to get my nails done for my wedding a day before we leave town. Showed up for my appointment and was told she wasn't there and that I was told she wasn't there when I called. I never called, I had made the appointment weeks in advance on Instagram. They asked to see the photo of what I was wanting and said they didn't even have the colors. Its pink and silver, they should at least have that. Then the girl started telling others that I specifically wanted Jenny and making jokes in front of me. I am not happy with how I was treated and that my time was wasted. I now have to find a replacement nail tech before I leave in the morning. Other times I have went I have left happy besides a one other occurrence. The nail tech painted my nails with the top coat and missed my thumbs. When I pointed it out she told me I should have been paying attention to what she was doing. I was with my friend talking during our appointment and I guess she didn't like that although she kept jumping into our conversation. That same nail tech has not done my nails since then but always gave me and my friend mean looks.

I'm so incredibly disappointed in the customer service at Athens nails. I showed the lady a picture of what I wanted (photos attached) I asked of daisys all over my nails. They told me it would be $30 since the design was "trendy" on TOP of the $20 for the gel, I didn't even get the full manicure. No cuticle cutting or anything, just a gel change. They were doing my nails while I was in the pedicure chair, which is awkward enough. I first asked for oval/round nails and she proceeded to make them square, I spoke up and asked her politely to make them more round. She just rounded the edges, so they're basically square with rounded edges. After the whole manicure was done I got a good look at them and was so upset. I realize that these ladies get so much shit from some woman, and I'm not about to be a Karen and yell at them. I did ask the girl when I was checking out if she could please not charge me the full $50 since it wasn't what I asked for. She asked to see a photo of what I'd asked for and said she could give me $10 off. She was about to when the woman who did my nails said I said they were fine. I didn't. I just saw the pinky, which looked ok but still wasn't what I'd asked for. The daisys were huge and the yellow was bleeding into the whites and the petals were wonky and so big on my small nails. Should I have said they weren't what I asked for in the chair? Yes. But honest to god I didn't pay attention to what all she was doing and couldn't see them completely. But I am incredibly shy, and introverted, and have awful social anxiety. The fact that I even spoke up at the end isn't like me, but I couldn't walk away with such an expensive manicure that was so bad. The lady then proceeded to charge me the full amount and just was like "sorry" I went to a different nail salon where they were appalled at the job and fixed it for me, for free. THAT is excellent customer service. Athens nails I obviously won't be returning, and I sincerely hope you work on your attitudes and customer service.

Summer did an amazing job on my nails and eyebrows! She was very thorough and precise. Definitely will be coming back! This was my first time here but I've never been happier leaving a nail salon

Sarah Q.

She did exactly what I wanted! Fast service, kind people. I will be going here for a while!

My nails look pretty good. Like the picture I showed but they didn't clean around my nails. They let me leave with powder all over my fingers. They charge a normal amount for SNS but told me I would be charged extra because of my nail length but they are my natural nails ?? Total it came out to $75....

I was looking for a new nail home after recently moving from California. The service I received could not have been better. I showed a picture of what design I wanted and that's exactly what I got!!! I will be back soon

They rushed through trying to do our nails and ended up causing me to bleed, cutting the nails uneven, and leaving the polish clumped on my friends. It was clear they did not care about the end result just wanted to be done. Never getting them done here again

I've been here many times and always come out with my nails exactly how I want them. The techs are sweet and ask questions to make sure you get what you're looking for. I've seen a variety of techs and saw Mike today, they're all great. 10/26 Came back again for my SNS set with tips this time. They turned out great! I chipped one shopping on Saturday and when I came in they fixed that nail at no cost!

Love the ambiance! The staffs are nice! Love my nails. They always have the 10% student discount. And reward cards

She has always made me feel comfortable from the start. She works quickly and efficiently and ensures to answer any questions you might have about any procedure. You cannot trust just anyone to do your sugaring or waxing, especially in sensitive areas, but I have never been disappointed here. I book everything online and if you need to reschedule, calling in is a breeze. The other staff I have interacted with have always been pleasant and accommodating. You can also get package deals for your sugaring or waxing to save money and for convenience. I did this in the past and recommend it if you can afford it upfront. I would not go anywhere else for my sugaring or waxing needs. I highly recommend this shop if you need any hair removal done or any other services they offer. You will definitely get quality service that is worth every dollar.

Sugar Me Waxing Studio 4.7 Stars…read more193 Google reviews  Waxing hair removal service in Peachtree Corners, Georgia Located in: Village at Peachtree Corners Address: 5270 Peachtree Pkwy # 114B, Peachtree Corners, GA 30092 Phone: (470) 545-3416 Products and Services: sugarmwax.com **Alert** Use this company with extreme caution. My daughter had a "back wax" for the first time at this facility. In preparation for this service, I Googled the rating, which returned to 4.7 Stars. We called the company to find out what to expect since this was her first time. Also, she had an event to attend and wanted to ensure there were no issues with her back after the service. The company advised us to come a few days earlier in case of minor irritation (considering eyebrow and lip waxing, you might get a minor irritation). Also, the esthetician recommended that my daughter get a "Sugar wax" service. We arrived five days before the event and had the service done. The esthetician had my daughter sign a waiver and advised her to use Neosporin or Hydrocortisone in case of minor irritation. My daughter said that the esthetician used her gloved hands as she repeatedly put the product on her back, but she didn't change the gloves between applications. My daughter thought to herself that she hoped the esthetician would change the product for each new client. Immediately after the service, walking out the door, I checked her back and saw white pimples populating on her back. My daughter didn't go back into the facility to make them aware because she had already addressed the possibility of some irritation. My daughter used hydrocortisone to help with the rash; now it's red. After the event, the rash developed fully on her entire back. The earliest we could get an appointment with a dermatologist was that Wednesday. During the visit, the dermatologist said this rash was caused by a contaminated product caused by double-dipping. She prescribed a cream to be used daily for at least two weeks, possibly three. We are still working on the rash, which has been present for seventeen days. Yesterday, we showed my daughter's back and spoke to the company about the problem. We requested a refund for the cost of the service and dermatologist visit. The problem was not a minor irritation but a massive reaction to contaminated products caused by staff negligence, which caused a full-blown rash. We asked to speak to the owner, which the esthetician declined. She responded that she would give the information to the owner and get back to us tomorrow. Today, after two follow-up calls from me, they finally responded: "Your daughter signed the waiver, which clearly states that we are not responsible for anything; therefore, they will not give a refund." In all honesty, based on yesterday's conversation with the esthetician, we didn't expect them to show good ethics or integrity. If I saw a review like this and the pictures as proof, I would say, "Thank you very much!" And move on to another company. We can only make decisions in today's world through the "Reviews." So even if you have a 5-star rating along with these business practices, I would not take the chance because you or your loved one suffers; the company moves on with business as usual. They have to be held accountable! So, we will be filing this information to The State Board of Georgia because this is a health issue that requires investigating or, at the very least, recording. No STAR ratings. We are making sure you get the information so that you can make the right decision.

I'm sure Olga is awesome, but despite booking my eyebrow threading appointment with her specifically, I never met her and a random lady did my brows--I have scars above my right eyebrow, like, deep scars from my appointment that resulted in deep itchy rash. It also smelled odd during the threading like maybe rose witch hazel but I'm not sensitive to that normally. A simple alcohol or aloe solution would have been preferred. Maybe it just wasn't sanitary but anyway I left and almost immediately broke out in a super itchy skin inflammation and started my new job like that! This was several months ago (April 2025) and I still have the deep scars on my face from this amateur facility with newbies. I just remember wanting to scratch it so badly. I used to go to a threading and sugaring place in Alpharetta before I relocated, and never had a problem nor sensitivity there. Brazilian and eyebrows, never an issue. Bare Wax is not a place I will be returning to. What sucks is I didn't even need the service, just wanted to try the new place and be groomed and polished. Honestly there was no difference, she didn't even know how to trim my eyebrows so they looked basically the same as when I arrived.

I'm new to Georgia found this place had great reviews 5 minutes from my house perfect. My estie was Kimberly. Lobby is fine clean go in no one at the desk someone comes out with her gloves on! Says to fill out a form she'll be with me in a minute. I go back and she says you're getting Brazilian and under am I said no. Brazilian sugar and eyebrows. Ok get undressed. Just like that lol no conversation about my skin if I'm done this before etc. I lay down on paper like from the doctors office you know it's cold no towel to cover nada just coochie out on the table. Again I've been to plenty of places. They always discuss your skin allergies needs. You get a towel and a pre wipe but yea not here. Anyway I'm looking around I see a crockpot Lmaoo a literal crock pot with wax in it. And a jar of barbicide with tweezers etc in it. I'm like hmmm. Flags already waving but I went against my better judgement because I'm like well I guess that's convenient to not have to keep warming up wax with that big ass thing lol. Anyway Kimberly comes in doesn't speak or make conversation only thing she said was do you want it all off? I'm like yea ok. So she powders me up like a donut and starts sugaring. The waxing part was going fine again just was silent. I asked her a few questions after a bit but she was just silent afterwards. Just gave off weird vibes idk. Not comforting or personable like you would want to feel with someone down at your goodies. She did most of the Brazilian with sugar. Which is what I wanted. She ended up doing some soft wax strips on my Bikini line which I thought was weird never had to have more than one wax used. Again go every 5 weeks. Ain't no bush it's minimal hair. Ok boom I flip over on my stomach which also never done but anyway she proceeds to then use hard wax on the backside and I asked her how come she using different waxes she said because of moisture the sugar isn't gripping mind you in all my years never ever had this happen. So she uses all 3 wax methods on me . Ok now she's done. No after wax spray not wax removal no hot towel nothing. Just sticky as ion what tells me get dressed then we'll do my eyebrows. Again I should have just left but yea I didn't so my sticky booty got dressed sat in the chair now. Told her what I wanted. She used strips fine that's what I expected. Showed me they look fine but I noticed it was still burning. So when we got to the front I said I think you burned me kuz it's stinging still. She ain't say shit told me my total now I know I should have spoken up more but honestly I was just flabbergasted by the experience I just wanted to leave. Nonetheless I would never return to this establishment nor would I recommend anyone to go there. I went to snooze restaurant right across the parking lot and I was telling her why I was so flustered and said wow she had the same experience it was terrible as well. So pay attention to the bad reviews and if you have a bad experience somewhere please share I know it's a pain kuz again I don't usually do reviews even if it's bad but how else is everyone else supposed to know.
