Linda works solo and gives excellent personalized service. I like her Charming Sweet Pedicure, and it's so relaxing - my feet look and feel pretty and soft when I leave. She's personable and skilled, and always checks on my comfort level multiple times during a session. Her setup is extremely clean and hygienic which I also appreciate. Paying is a breeze - if you don't have cash she will take Venmo (my preference) and possibly other forms of e-payment. I've seen Linda's mani and pedi work on others, and it's lovely. I tend to keep it simple with one color, but she can do complex nail techniques and nail art if that's your preference. She uses high quality products and I can see and feel the difference. She stays quite busy (so book well ahead of time!) and will still do her best to fit in last minute appointment requests. She's one of the best kept secrets in this area! read more

A really wonderful experience! This is a one-woman shop, so you'll have to book your appointment beforehand, but luckily everything is very clear and convenient online! Small note that there is a mani/pedi combo package towards the bottom of the list - I tried multiple times to book both a mani and pedi at the same time (and failing) before realizing! Parking downtown depending on the time of day can be a little challenging, but it is towards the end of downtown which makes it a little easier. Charming Nail Shop is located on the second floor, and there are two seats to wait at inside if she's finishing up with previous clients! You can pick a color while you wait - her variety is pretty extensive, and she recommended me to try a polish with "diamond finish" that truly held up flawlessly for almost three weeks, and is still holding up strong as I grew out my nails for the next three months lol. Mani and pedi were both really relaxing experiences - the soak and massage was lovely, and she made great conversation (out of this introvert!) to pass the time. My appointment did take longer than planned but I enjoyed the little spa moment for me. Thanks again for the great experience, would highly recommend for others to try out for a special relaxing moment! read more

She did an amazing job with my nails! They did a walk in appointment despite it being pretty busy that day. I would come back for my pedicure here now. read more

Linda is absolutely amazing! I'm extraordinarily particular and she exceeded my expectations! Not only did I leave with the perfect French manicure, but I also had a chance to relax before the crazy of my day got started. Thank you Linda for being so excellent at what you do. Your attention to detail is much appreciated :) read more

Love this place. Linda is so professional and amazing. She is not only friendly but goes the extra mile to provide thorough recommendations that she believes would help. read more

Meticulously detail-oriented and focused on nail health. So, so good! I would recommend Linda all day long, my nails have never looked better. read more

Linda is really amazing. She does a really nice job while being very careful in regards to Covid. The nail polish she used is really long-lasting and doesn't have harmful chemicals in it. She is very thorough, really nice to talk to, efficient & I have to say - quite charming! She was also really gentle with my ingrown toenails and did a really nice job cleaning up my cuticles that were about four months old. Price is very reasonable. read more

First things first! Online booking and temperature checks are a plus for me! Linda's shop is covid safe and very clean. She was very thorough and efficient with my spa pedicure. She took me in at my appointment time and was very friendly and professional. read more

I knew I was going to have some free time on my hands so I searched for a nail shop ahead of time. That is when I found Charming Nail Shop. I spoke to Linda, the owner and she was able to fit me into her schedule. When I arrived, it was not the usual store front, neon flashing nail shop. It was located inside a business suite with multiple rooms offering beauty care/services. I actually appreciate that now, knowing I dont have to be next to others. It is very clean and private, not worrying about being unsafe there. She seems really nice, making sure that I enjoyed my experience there. I had a gel manicure done, and the results were amazing. This has been a long waiting review to see how my nails turned out. It's been over 2 weeks now and the gel is still holding up without any chips. Charming Nail Shop, you have won me over! read more

This review is long overdue... I've been going to Linda at Charming Nails consistently for 9 months now for my structure manicure and pedi. Her suite is always very clean and she is extremely professional. I love getting the structure manicure because it's far more durable, long-lasting than the regular gel overlay and even better than dip powder in my opinion. She always takes her time and does an amazing job on my nails. I tend to go back and fourth from a simple look to more trendy nails (ideas I find off Pinterest) which she not only accommodates but nails it every time! I have also had a lash lift & tint done by Linda which not only looked great but was convenient because I didn't have to use mascara. My lashes were super dark and fluffy for well over 8 weeks. Highly recommend! read more

In LOVE! I have been looking for someone that actually cares about the health of your nails and I am happy to find Linda. Unlike all other shops, she soaks off your gel instead of drilling it off. She spends extra time making sure your nails are perfect. She has her own private room which is what I needed at 9 months pregnant. I am so happy with my nails! :) read more

Linda is great! She took the time to give me a nice pedicure and even added more layers of shellac because she noticed my nails were thin. Her studio is comfy and she provides water and snacks! So much more cozy and personal than a big salon. I definitely will be coming back read more

Let me start off by saying... Linda is FREAKING AMAZING!!! I usually try and get a mani/pedi done every 4-6 weeks but since the start of pandemic, I have not dared to go out to get any services done. However, I had an upcoming annual family photoshoot and was feeling insecure about my nasty bare nails (it was unkept for 8+ month) so after some research, I decided to give Linda a call. I wanted to make sure the salon I went to was clean and only took one customer at a time. Linda's salon was SPOTLESS (I have high standards for cleanliness) and I felt very comfortable as soon as I sat down in her cute salon. Linda is very knowledgable. I wanted a creamy white-ish color for my nails but not too white and Linda knew exactly what I was thinking. She mixed some colors together and gave me PERFECT nails. I was SOOOOO IN LOVE with the color she created for me. WOW! For anyone thinking about pampering yourself, even during a pandemic, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND giving Linda a call! The location is easy to get to and there's plenty of parking. Thank you LINDA for such a nice experience and for giving me perfect nails. I will be back! :-) read more

My first mani/pedi in over a year and it did not disappoint. I've never had anyone take such care and time on my nails; safety during these times was my priority the added bonus was the outstanding service, massage, and color options!
