Poor service. Very crowded and they do not adhere to social distancing during this pandemic. Don't waste your time. I had an appointment at 3. When I made the appointment, I told them that it had to be on time because I have another obligation with time. When I arrived they told me they were running 15 minutes behind. Then at 3:15 they still weren't ready to service me. I was disappointed and walked out without services. read more

I was so happy for the reopening of Chesco Nails but what a wonderful experience... The sweet owner Annie had the entire Salon redone & so beautiful... but she said her first concern is always safety, cleaniness & kindness to her customers. I have to say of all the places I have been back into,Chesco Nails has taken every precaution necessary & then more... truly one of the biggest & best Blessings I am grateful for‼ It is always a special treat ... love my nails & tootsie...wonderful job..... read more

First time here for acrylic set removal. Instead of soaking off the nail technician USED HER OWN NAILS to dig under and rip off each acrylic! Not only is this damaging to the nail it is dangerous and unhygienic. She continued even when I pulled my hand away from being in pain and asked if she could soak them after the first one. Clearly she didn't want to bother with the time and continued to rip them off. The rest of the process didn't use standard hygienic practices such as using individually packaged tools or new dust cloths. Left in pain and feeling gross! read more

My first time here and was very impressed with the friendly service. The owner is incredible and keeps everything flowing. Small place so would suggest going in the middle of the week. Would recommend to anyone in the area. I have tried servers places in the area and this is one of the best! read more

I posted a picture of the SNS French manicure I had done on a Friday evening. The staff were super nice BUT they were rushed and with so many stations and people coming in and out, the chemical smell was overwhelming (and I pretty much never notice this stuff). At the end of the day, a $40 manicure (plus $8 tip) should last more than two days - where I was on vacation and did no cooking, cleaning or swimming (hell, my hairdresser asked me not to wash my hair bc dirty holds better for styling - was in a wedding). I honestly wouldn't recommend this salon because for the cost, you don't get high quality results. I also had a pedi done, French style ($35 plus $8 tip) and I would not recommend it either (although a single color should be fine). The girl got the white paint all over and the lines are thick and crooked (basically what it would have looked like if I did it myself). She was very pleasant, but freestyle French isn't her strong suit. They did do a quick rub with oil, then hot stones and a hot towel, but I personally didn't find the massage chair comfortable and thought the pedi was a bit rushed too. Altogether, nice people and I would have loved to give them repeat business, but will not go back because of the poor results. read more

THIS IS UPDATED REVIEW: I have had my nails for about 4 days maybe and I am in PAIN! She put SNS on my cuticles and they are red and bleeding! I have to go and get them removed immediately. WASTE OF MONEY SINCE I PAID $40 :( I have gotten SNS before and they used to put gel polish on top which is what I thought would happen. Well I guess the SNS here is the color you get. The first color I chose the lady said was the transparent so she helped me choose another. I wasn't to excited of it but whatever. As she was doing it she told me if I liked the color I was shocked a bit since it was ugly (not her fault) just the color looked bad on my skin tone. Anyways I ended up choosing another SNS which made my nails super thick which I didn't like. Long story short I felt some pain while filing and the thickness isn't my cup of tea. I am very particular of my nails and this was my first time. I'm not amused but I will not rate them bad. This place is very clean. I will post pics of my nails and stuff. (Another thing was when I was choosing another SNS color I had to choose over 5 since they didn't have the colors I wanted. Which was kinda annoying since it's on display.) read more

Every time my experience at Chesco is amazing! Annie knows everyone by name, the nails always look good (pictured is dip gel), and you can't beat the card for the 10 times gets you $10 off! I will always go to Cheso for any special event or just even went I want to feel pampered with a new set just because read more

Avoid this salon unless you want to WAIT a LONG time! They take appointments and then do not honor them!! I waited over 45 minutes for an appointment, was ignored (there was no receptionist) and ended up leaving and going to another salon as a walk in with a less than 5 min wait. This salon is not worth it!! read more

This is the ONLY place i will go for a mini and pedi. Annie the owner is super nice. I don't make an appointment so I don't mind waiting if I have to - it is always worth the wait. They always make me feel comfortable. read more

The nail tech was very rude and racist to us. She said she would not be available for hours and hours. She didn't even want to give us an appointment. We could tell she didn't want to service 4 black people in her nail salon. So sad!!!! read more

I got gel nails at Chesco and waited over a half hour to be seen. Once the process was started, my nail technician was very nice and polite. However, three days after I got my gel done the colors started to turn. I called Chesco Nails and the owner answered. I started to explain what was happening with my nails to see if they would fix them for me, and the owner cut me off stating that this happens with gel. This should not happen with gel, especially not this fast. She insisted I had had my hair dyed or had rubbed my nails on new jeans, which can cause them to turn...neither of which happened. I will not be returning here for the pure lack of customer service. read more

Clean friendly place but wont be going back. Way overpriced. Had a basic manicure and pedicure no gel or tips. Paid $67.00 plus tip. The woman next to me had a pedicure and paid $32.00. I guess that's why they don't display their price list. read more

Best nail salon I've been to, I drive over 30m to go here. I've only ever had Annie do my nails, as I always get dip powder with tips. She's very polite and always does a great job, and will check in to make sure you like them. Always have a great experience, only thing is sometimes the wait is long. read more

Chesco Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

I work at a hospital and due to an emergency I didn't get out until late missing my appointment to get my nails done at another salon with my sister in law (the bride who's getting married Sunday) and the rest of the bridesmaids. By the time I arrived back into the area it was 6:15pm. I was frantic to find a salon that was still open and who could give me a pedicure and gel manicure. Upon arrival to Chesco Nails I was greeted by all of the friendly staff. I immediately asked them if it was possible for me to get both services done as I knew it was late and they closed at 7pm. The staff laughed and reassured me not to worry and to choose my color. Let me tell you this was one of the best pedicures I have ever had. They use the hot stones to massage my legs and feet and overall are so caring and professional. They did not rush through my pedi or my manicure making me feel welcome and helping to soothe my anxiety for missing my prior appointment. I highly recommend Chesco Nails and will be going to them for now on. Thank You ladies and gentlemen of Chesco Nails you helped a bridesmaid in crisis and I absolutely love my Nails! read more

Chesco Nails - Perfect Pink and Glitter Gel Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

I booked an appointment for pedicures right after salons reopened. I spoke to the owner and she reassured me they had time to accommodate us. I know in the past the owner often overbooked and my service took twice as long as usual, That was before Covid 19 surly the appointments would be scheduled appropriately now for safely. Boy was I wrong! There were 5 employee's working, when we first arrived the salon was not crowded, an hour and a half later (45 minutes longer then it should take) we were finally done. As the salon started filling up we became very uncomfortable and our experience was anything but relaxing, we couldn't wait to leave.There were 15 customers and 5 employees crammed in that little salon! I don't like being lied to, I don't like someone wasting my time because their greedy and lastly , I felt my safety was in question. I will NEVER return to this salon. You have lost two clients and if anyone asks I happily share my unpleasant experience. I also called the health department when I got home I was so upset, they were not helpful:( Look out for yourselves, if a business becomes overly crowed just get up and leave. I wish that's what I had done. Be safe:) read more

super clean, felt safe with COVID precautions. Everyone super friendly. great prices for high quality nails.

I've never been to a friendlier nail salon! Emma and the whole staff were so sweet and funny. Very relaxing experience, and affordable. Love the way my nails turned out and will definitely return again! read more

By far my favorite place to get a beautiful full set! They always look so amazing and perfect and the entire staff is so inviting and sweet, I love coming here. My only advice would be to definitely make an appointment because their books fill up fast and they're always busy, totally worth it though! read more

I should have walked out the door when I realized how crowded it was. My pedicure was rushed and and the tech took a chunk out of my big toe that is going to take some time to grow out. Won't be going back. read more

I've been to several salons in West Chester and this is by far my favorite. Really friendly staff and they do a great job. Really loved the leg massage by hand and then the additional massage with the hot stones. Salon is clean with lots of polish colors to choose from. read more

I am here drying my toes after my first visit and I'm so glad I came here! I called to check if they had openings and they got me right in. The pedicure was excellent and soothing. It wasn't rushed, but didn't take ages either. Perfect for me. The nicest thing is how friendly and kind the technicians are. It's so much easier to enjoy a relaxing pedicure surrounded by kind smiles and friendly chatter. Although it was my first visit, the other customers were clearly regulars who had a great relationship with the staff. I can't wait to come back! read more

I usually love coming here, but I went yesterday for a full set of acrylics with dip polish, and Annie was so busy that she rushed through the whole thing. She didn't clean up my nails/cuticles at all and shaped my nails so fast that some of them are crooked. read more

I honestly do not know how this place has gotten such good reviews. Only posting to save someone the trouble, because there are so many better nail salons in the area. I went here a total of 3 times because I didn't want to give up on the place, since at the time, it was in walking distance from my house. The owner is hard working and truly seems to care about her company. She's friendly and tries to be accommodating. But that's half the problem. Techs bounce from one customer to the next. As a walk in, your told that you can sit right down and be taken right away, you sit for 20 mins + until someone gets to you. Then they start, and excuse themselves to start on another customer leaving you hanging and waiting. The final time I tried his place, I made an appointment, to avoid the previous experience. After waiting over 30 mins past my appointment time, I just left. This place is is awful. read more

I love this place! All of the ladies who work here are super nice and friendly. Their gel manicures are the best and I love their nail polish selection. read more

Fantastic nail place. Not only did they do great mani and gel pedi they were very friendly. Tammy stayed late to finish my nails and never made me feel like she was rushing to get out of there for the evening. We all know what is like to have that last nail job of the night and feeling like you got the 15 minute version for the full cost. So long to my old place! I will be back to see Tammy and Annie! Thank you. :) read more

I came here to get a full set. Was told a different price when I called and then was charged 2x what I was told. Then I wait for almost an hour to even get anything started. Then was helped and then sat for another hour to get the acrylic and paint actually done. Wish I could get my money back because they started falling off days later worst money I've spend on getting my nails done. Loved the shape though read more

By far my favorite place to get my nails done. They do the SNS dip manicure really well and it lasts so long. Everyone there is so friendly (especially their owner, Annie). I love supporting their business because the people there are wonderful and the work they do is the best quality. read more

I went in the other day to get an acrylic set of nails and the women who did my nails was extremely nice, but she did a horrible job. Half of them were rounded and the other half were square and they looked like a child did them. I got an infection in my nail and cut by one of the tools pretty deep. When I asked for a refund, they refused and offered to redo them but it was not worth even returning to the salon to get them fixed. I will never go back here and never recommend this to anyone I know. read more

The people are super nice and they do a good job. Not the place to go if you are in a rush or like to be in and out quickly. They need more staff to get people done quicker read more

Love this place and won't go anywhere else. Often I get shellac manicures for work. They do such a perfect job, not creating ragged edges that catch when your nails grow out. Very reasonable prices ($5 less on pretty much every service than the salons I was going to in Delaware) and friendly service. Great value, friendly faces, high quality work. Highly recommended. read more

Well, as a first-time client I can say that I'm not too enthused by the quality of service I received. I came in for an acrylic refill around 11 AM on a Friday and they weren't busy. When I walked in I wasn't greeted because the person at the door was busy talking to one of her clients which is fine. I told her I needed a refill with gel and she told me to have a seat and she started to work everything was fine. Then one of her regular clients came in and then she began to rush her work on me and kept rushing me. She began to work on me and her client at the same time switching between workbenches but only rushing me. She asked me to pick a color and I was trying to match it to a photo that I had in within a one minute time span she asked me what color 5 times. At which point I had to say ma'am I understand you're busy but you don't need to rush me. I mean after all getting your nails done is supposed to be relaxing right? After my nails dried, every other nail salon I've been to usually will put a hot towel on your hands and lotion your hands because of the chemicals that they just put on you and all she said to me was your total is $40 and then walked away. I can honestly say that I will not be returning to this nail salon because I wasn't an established client I got different treatment than the other clients however my money is just as green and I'm a paying customer. They have no pricelist visible $40 for a refill is pretty pricey but at that point I was so disappointed I just wanted to get out of there. read more

This PLACE let me start by saying that I was kind of skeptical of trying a new nail place . I'm new to the area and wanted a place that would top the nail salon that I have been going to for the last 6 years and I have found it . Annie whom I believe is the owner did my nails , she was very friendly and warm and knew each one of her customers by name . The salon it self was a very friendly environment, clean and the Energy was awesome. My nails have found a new place to call home ..... THANK YOU CHESCO NAILS read more

Went to this salon for the first time recently. Had a manicure (the "sand" polish/coating that they dip your fingers in) and pedicure. The manicure was reasonably-priced at $30 (I previously paid $25 for this method at a DelCo salon, but expected to pay more closer to home). The pedicure was $25. The owner did a great job on my nails. I like the way she shaped them - very natural - and not too thick. Another woman gave me a great pedicure. The pedicure stations looked very clean, which I liked. The employees were very nice, and seemed genuinely interested in my satisfaction, and asked me to return. I definitely will. read more

Hands down...best nail salon in area- I've tried them all! My gel manis last a minimum of two weeks and are skillfully done. Everyone who works here is very friendly. Very reasonable prices as well. Love coming to this place! read more

Called around to 3 places to get an idea of pricing and availability- decided to try Chesco because it did have nice reviews on here. Went for a pedicure and was really pleased. Very clean, very nice people and a wonderful pedicure. I normally only go like every other month but this was so enjoyable and reasonable that I may just treat myself and go more often. I don't usually enjoy the massages, but they were good here and also used hot stones which I never had before in a basic pedicure. read more

I have been going to Chesco nails for a couple years. The newly renovated space is clean and has nice dividers between stations. Unfortunately, my overall opinion is a negative one. Like my other friends/family who have also since went elsewhere, there have been too many times both before and after COVID where you are left waiting despite making an appointment. The waiting space today alone had 4 people within a few feet of each other due to over booking. I tried dip nails for the first time and was scheduled by the owner to have her do my nails. She must have forgotten and overbooked and rather than admitting that, she sped through my nails as if she was on fast forward. I did not get a full manicure, there was no soaking or cuticle trimming, I even had to ask for lotion at the end to put on myself. She cut my cuticles with the dremel tool they use on multiple fingernails. There was glue from the process on my fingers. And yet I was charged for the full dip manicure. Prices are not listed so they can keep upping them. Overall, I am done giving Chesco another chance. Find another place in West Chester, there are so many! read more

The place is getting popular that they are painfully understaffed. Wouldve given 1 star but i ahve had better visits than the one i had yesterday. I even gave them 4 stars before. But please CHESCO GET MORE STAFF!! I had to wait for 2 hours and had to leave in the middle of my session coz i had a previous appointment...and they still made me PAY! None of the staff had touched my hands yet they still made me pay $10. I made an appointment before, got a shorter wait but they was still a significant amount for someone who mad an appointment. Granted, im never going back there...i will miss my SNS but i found a new salon in paoli with SNS. Def felt violated, my time and money. read more

Love this nail salon! The owner, Annie, is super nice and so is her cousin, Link who also works there. I've been getting gel manicures for the past 6 weeks and they do an excellent job. I brought my Daughter and her friend to have their nails polished. They were great with the kids and even painted little designs on their nails for free. Very clean and modern. Finally found a nail salon for keeps! read more

Lovely employees, excellent service, reasonable prices. I would definitely recommend this salon and I have tried many in the West Chester area that do not get my thumb's up. Thank you Christy for a great mani/pedi. I am a new client and now I will be a regular. read more

Awful. One of the worst if not the worst nail places. The woman had no idea how to file nails. She files so that the corners are longer than the center. No matter how many times I asked she couldn't figure it out. Not only that but some of my nails she just filed the corner out for no apparent reason. I walked out before she could ruin them further. read more
