    Lyric S.

    I was in Chapel Hill for work and needed a mani/pedi. Sophia was absolutely wonderful and kind! She took time on all of her work, encouraged me to relax, and overall exceeded my expectations. She was also very upfront about the pricing which was not only appreciated but I found to be fair compared to Atlanta pricing. I really enjoyed Bella Nail Bar and will be back the next time I'm in Chapel Hill!

    There's nail polish all over the sides of my fingers on both hands that they wouldn't fix and the manicure itself is clumpy and uneven.

    The first time I tried coming here I made an appointment and when I showed up they were closed. Decided to give it another try and I really wish I hadn't. Spent $45 for a manicure that came out terrible and was painful. Every person in their was rude. I have never gone out of my way to leave a bad review but this was worth the time to warn others. The only reason they received two stars is because I didn't have to wait long.

    So painful....
    Lucy O.

    I went here because as a student I thought that it is convenient and worth the cost (gel: $35). The people are nice, and they have a wide selection of colors; however, the three times I have been there, they also seem to rush and quickly finish the job without paying attention to detail, especially when it comes to filing my nails. The filing is so painful because they not only end up filing my nails, but they also file away my skin. I let them know about this the third time I went but it still happened. My nails may look pretty, but I didn't pay for them to make the fingers themselves swollen and dry. I don't think I'll be coming back any time soon with this quality of service.

    Day 2 of nails completed

    Just went there yesterday, got dip powder; will say service was great, nails originally looked good. With that said less than 3hrs later one of them had chipped, fast forward today 3 of them are already chipped all over the place and it makes no sense, these are supposed to last. I normally get my nails done only once a month, it was my first time there and most definitely the last.

    I have very short nails and it's hard to look pretty but they don't d a good job and made it look very polished and I think I chose a good light color to help it not to look so weirdly short haha I'll make a note to always go back there whenever I'm in town.

    Acrylics

    Loved it. Amazing acrylics! Excellent length, shape, and color. They've lasted over 3 weeks.

    SNS nails with tips
    Emily S.

    I scheduled an appointment for 4:30, but due to an influx of people was not started on until 4:50. But, due to this, my nail tech took extreme care of my nails! I got SNS with tips, and they look great! She shaped them perfectly how I wanted and made sure they were perfect. There is a 10% off student discount as well! They prefer cash for tips:)

    Renee C.

    I've been coming to this nail salon for more than 6 years and every experience has been exceptional. They take their time, my gel nails lasts greater than 2 weeks and I always get exceptional service. Even if I walk in 30 mins to closing, they will stay over to make sure my service is above expectation! I will not go anywhere else! See Sophia or Tracy and I promise you will not be disappointed!

    Natalie P.

    Pretty much the worst set of SNS that I have ever received. No manicure like I asked beforehand and the sns chipped off cracked and fell off within a week. I don't live near by or else I would demand them to redo it. At this point I would at least like half or all of my money back. What a waste of $50

    Bad SNS nails for 70 dollars. Wouldn't recommend. (the dip nude color isn't sparkly it's dust trapped underneath the polish)

    My one and only experience at Lee Nails was awesome. The place was quiet at 4pm and there was zero…read morewait. I came in with a picture of what I wanted and asked if they could duplicate it. The owner thought about it, said she'd give it a try, and was transparent about the fact that she hadn't done it before. She helped me pick out colors, tested the opacity before we got started, and gave me a fast, but careful, manicure that turned out great! I also liked that she let me drift in-between making polite small talk, and reading on my phone - it was friendly but not forced. Other pros include the price (12$ for mani +10$ for "nail art") and I could leave a tip on my card, no cash necessary. Time will tell when it comes to the staying power of the polish, but for that price and the good service, I'm sure I'll be back. UPDATE: I've now been back several times. Each time I've had remarkably attentive and exceptional customer service - including the time I brought a very squirmy, grumpy child to get her first manicure. They truly bend over backwards to please and accommodate. However, the reason I took away a couple stars was that the manicures just don't last. Mine have started chipping within 24 hours and by day three I can barely tell I've had my nails done at all. Still a bargain if you want a quick, pretty manicure for a same-day event, but not if you need it to last.

A couple months ago, I made an appointment through their website during business hours. When I came at the appointed time, the door was locked. I called and someone picked up and told me she was sick and to make an appointment for a different day, even though my initial appointment had been placed and I had gotten a confirmation text. I didn't even get a discount for coming on a different day after driving to their shop initially, and finding them closed during business hours and with a scheduled appointment. This week, I received a birthday text to get $10 off my next visit. I had gotten my nails done a week ago and they were already chipped but I figured I would just come get them done again instead of asking for them to be redone, since there was a decent discount. The same person who had done my nails last week, which chipped, did my nails this time. The job was rushed and I had to ask my nail person to clean up the edges before leaving because he wanted to send me out with paint still on my skin around the nails on both hands. This poor service was already concerning. When I got to the cash register I showed them the $10 off text and they told me it was only for certain services so they wouldn't give me the discount, even though none of that was stated in the text. I asked them if they would send out these stipulations with their texts in the future because otherwise it's misleading. They told me no. I still paid them and tipped decently even though I honestly felt like giving them no tip with how bad the service was. This was more a reflection of me trying to bring my own emotions under control and be a better person, than any reflection of their service which was very poor. But I no longer plan to come to them in the future. The problem isn't just the service...it's the refusal to improve communication even after I've spoken with them about it and given them multiple chances to improve. Update: it's been less than 24 hours and my nails are already chipped again. The excuse is that it's regular polish. I've had my nails done with regular polish by other nail salons and it lasts more than a day. Making excuses for poor work and doing nothing to improve, is unacceptable in my opinion.

I walked in and let them know about my appointment, I saw them check their book and confirm I was on there. She then told me to check in on the kiosk and pick my color. I followed the woman to a pedicure chair where she informed me that I shouldn't sit there and it was for someone else. About two minutes later, a woman walks in and thanks her for squeezing in an appointment. Wow. She tells me to go speak to the manager. He asks can I wait because there are three other people ahead of me, I said no I really couldn't and that's why I made an appointment. Very, very disappointing experience. Why let me check in for my appointment but then don't service me? Why was another woman with an appointment serviced before me? Why was there no real solution offered except wait for an undisclosed amount of time? I thought people were friendlier down south but clearly the businesses are not. 0/10.

Sooo, I'm reviewing my experience for my nail tech, KIM. I should start by saying that Kim has been amazing! I wanted to wait to write a review because with nails you want to make sure they don't chip, break, etc. I have been here now 3X's, all my appointments have been with Kim, and my nails have never looked better. She is patient and a perfectionist, where other nail techs are rushing to get you in and out, she takes her time to make sure the job is done correctly. I get dip mani, and usually a regular pedicure. I request her to do both. They last a long time with no breaks, chips, snags, etc. I will say that the prices have gone up. This last time I went I ended up paying more than the previous times and I did not even get a color on my feet. Just a regular pedicure and a dip mani. Not sure if it's a holiday thing, or what, but will need to pay more attention next time. Cute place, clean, and busy. Make an appointment, especially now during the holidays.
