I was introduced to Emma's Nails by an old co-worker. I've been coming here for over 2 years for…read moregel manicures and pedicures. Emma's was recently remodeled and looks more beautiful than ever. The employees are friendly and accommodating, including the owner Andy. He always makes sure his clients leave happy. My go-to girls are Pebbles and Phanny, but I've had my nails done by other techs and I can confidently say that everyone does an excellent job. Eyelash extensions, waxing, dip powder/SNS and mood colors are among other services they offer. Prices are fair. For a gel manicure and a regular pedicure, I paid $52. Cash and card are accepted. If you pay with cash, however, it's cheaper. They do have an ATM available on site if you don't have cash with you. It does tend to get busy between 5pm-closing so expect a wait if you stop by after work. On Saturday mornings, there are usually customers lining up outside. Make sure you arrive early and sign in if you want a specific technician.

I've been back and forth about posting this for a while because this place checks all the right…read moreboxes. They're clean, their schedule is organized and they don't overbook, they take appointment deposits, etc. The manager/owner is very nice and very skilled. My first time there He immediately helped take off my gel while my nail tech was getting the table set up. He also gave me some great advice about general nail maintenance and cuticle maintenance. I think my techs name was Alex, I don't remember what the managers name was. I asked for sunflowers on a black background and asked him if this was something he could do. He insisted he could and I let him know that it was completely okay if he couldn't because I had a backup design. He ended up not being able to do it and had to ask another tech to do it. They came out more like daisies than anything and I wasn't thrilled but I didn't want to hold up the appointment behind me by asking them to redo it. The worst part of this was when he started clipping my cuticles, he cut the entire side of my finger. Not just a little nick...the cuticle clippers took a chunk out of my finger. He apologized and I said it was okay because mistakes happen, but it happened AGAIN. Two chunks taken out of two fingers. (See in pictures below) To me this is unacceptable. I also asked him to be very careful with the silver drill tip because I didn't want to be cut. He cut me anyway and then said it's because my cuticles were dry. The cut was deep, it had nothing to do with dryness. I considered returning at a later date and just asking the manager to do my nails, but I can't ever go back here.

Great service, very clean facility and the technician are great at what they do, no long wait timeread more

Judy was always extremely accommodating especially for my very last minutes appointment. She always tries to squeeze me in in her very busy schedules. That's every time too lol. Judy, Mei, and Elaine does the best nails in there. Others a bit sloppy on their works. Besides the nails, Judy also offer eyebrow wax, thread, and tint. I told her I have sensitive skin, so she gave me sensitive wax for my eyebrows. Talking about consideration and care. She also does eyelash services. I got a full set from her for a very reasonable price. Other nail salons have charge me 3 digits for mediocre nails. But Cottman Nails charge me half the price for some very pretty nails.

I had a wonderful experience at this nail salon. This salon is decorated very nicely. It is unlike…read moreany nail salon around the area because of how it looks inside. Instead of the walls being decorated with nails related picture, they mirrors and a iconic picture of marilyn monroe. There is also a wide selections of nail color, both gel and normal polishes. The hair salon section of this salon looks organized as well. One more thing, the staff here is nice, young, and attractive. They're willing to strike conversations with you if you're in the mood for the company. Now for my experience, I brought my own cuticle cutter because I'm a not hesitant in using theirs since many salon in the area doesn't have the sterilizing machine but they have it so that's a big plus. They have this interesting stand that lifts my feet to a level that would be easy for her to exfoliate my feet. The women who did my pedicure put the effort into the massage portion of it. I've been to salons where they do it for maybe 30 seconds but she spends a few minutes per leg. The pressure she applies is also nice and helps my sore feet. While I was there, I saw that they do piercing as well so I decided it was time to get another one. I had a nice time laughing and having fun with the ladies there. They also gave me two voucher for free manicure which was very nice of them.
