My rating for the place has always been high, but this is a rating for a manicurist named Jennifer, which would be in the negatives. I was at Candy Nail Bar in Annapolis on April 30th with a friend. As I was sitting waiting for my friend, I could not help but hear a conversation between Jennifer and a client. The client was an older woman getting a pedicure with a young woman who was a manicurist trainee. Jennifer seemed to be supervising and this new manicurist who could not speak English, so Jennifer was the mediator. The older client said that she had an issue with one of her toes as it had a fungus and was being treated and the nail had partially fallen off. She asked if she could get a pedicure with this toe issue. Jennifer stated, you can get a gel manicure with vitamin C in it and it should be good, as the Vit. C is healthy and won't hurt the toe. Also gels are great and it should last 2 months. This was very concerning to me as I know this information to be complete misinformation and the gel could actually be harmful to the toe and cause potential infection, which could actually be extremely dangerous, especially if the older lady had diabetes. Nails with fungus issues should not get manicures or pedicures. They should be left alone as infection could get worse or spread! Go to a podiatrist! To me all Jennifer wanted was the $$$ and did not care one bit about the client. The client took the bait and got the gel. I did also find out that Jennifer is a new employee at this salon. First, no one should be keeping gels on the nails for a couple of months as it is unsanitary and not healthy! Second, this horrible manicurist Jennifer is a danger to the clientele that are unknowledgeable concerning their nails and potentials for infection. It is obvious that Jennifer had zero concern for the safety of this client. If this client were to get an infection from this gel manicure and it becomes a serious health issue concerning this woman's foot, this could lead to a lawsuit, not to mention the suffering of this poor client. I recommend this manicurist, Jennifer have a serious remediation or this could lead to harm to current and future clients. If this nail salon truly cares about the beauty and health of their clients I recommend this action takes place now! read more

This business is absolutely amazing. My first experience ever getting my nails done was horrible, but I decided to try Candy because I needed nails for an event. I had low expectations, but Jennifer did my acrylic nails fabulously and they stayed on for over 3 weeks with no issues (i bit them off but they would've stayed longer if I had not). The customer service was excellent and Jennifer was very knowledgeable about all the colors and styles and able to answer all my questions clearly and helpfully. She also invited me to come back and said that if there were to be any issues with the nails she did for me, she would fix them for free! Thanks to Jennifer and her welcoming energy, i realized i really enjoyed getting my nails done, so I made a reservation and came back with my mom a little over a month later. Jennifer remembered me, and she did both mine and my moms full sets (mine acrylic and my moms dip gel x) in just over an hour. Her daughter Angie is exceptionally talented and did incredible flower designs on my nails. I will definitely be back and be advertising Candy Nail Bar to everyone i know. Jennifer and Angie deserve 10 stars!! read more

I've been here before but I didn't really enjoy the experience because I felt like I was rushed but today as I was going to the mcdonald's, I seen the sign say under new management so I decided to check it out and it was the absolute best experience I've ever had in awhile not even exaggerating. The new manager Jennifer, was the absolute sweetest, she insisted to give me free drinks and snack so I took a mimosa lol, the other new young staffs were also very friendly and the atmosphere was very relaxing, calm music and great pedicure massages, full sets here were only 45 and I was so shocked, thank you Angie for the beautiful nails, I will definitely be returning read more

When I tell you believe the hype from google, you better best believe it!! Jennifer and her family are absolutely the sweetest, no one has ever cared for my service as much as Candy nail bar does. All their sweet smiles, free snacks, GREAT nail designs and great nail retention!! I can always go weeks without having to worry if my nails are lifting because they genuinely do such a great job!! Can't even exaggerate on how much I enjoy this place, it's like we're all like family. I can instantly connect with them without having to worry about anything. The pedicure chairs are amazing, and great facials. read more

I have gone to this shop 3 times now and had several different services, nails, toes, eyebrows. They have done an amazing job every time. Their customer service is amazing, bringing my color choices to me, offering me drinks, snacks and making sure my massage chair is making me as comfortable and relaxed as possible! Jennifer makes you feel so special like you're her onlu client but today I got to work with Ken and he was fantastic as well. I used to go around the corner from me and now drive 25 min away because it's worth the drive to feel like family. read more
