    Tracy is the best! Dip powder nails :)

    Tracy is the absolute best! I've gone to a few spots in Philly and nothing else compares! Tracy goes above and beyond to help me find the right shade of color and is meticulous at making each of my nails look perfect. The dip powder nails last 3-4 weeks-- and the only reason I have to go in is because my nails grow out (not because of chipping). She is literally amazing and so accommodating!

    A fantastic little hole-in-the-wall salon with a great nail polish collection. I was able to get a same-day appointment for a standard pedicure ($30) I got to enjoy being seated at a massage chair, while the esthetician worked on my feet. For the standard pedi, I got a foot soak, heel scrub, cuticle cutting & shaping, moisturizing, and color - which is such an amazing deal! I will definitely want to come again, especially since I was not able to try the $5 sugar scrub add-on.

    Painful Pedi! Beware!

    Painful Pedicure/Damaged Big Toe/Poor Ethics/Bad Business I had a pedicure at Chestnut Nail the day before a two-week trip to Seattle. My big toe hurt throughout the trip. Upon my return, I removed the nail polish to discover that half my big toenail was black. The manicurist had cut the nail so deep that it bleed underneath the nail. When I returned to Chestnut Nail to show the damage that had been done, they said that I had dropped something on my toe! They refused to accept responsibility or offer me a reimbursement. While I have visited the salon in the past without incident, I will never go again!

    Perfect dip powder manicure. Tell them what you want! They will accommodate and create the perfect manicure of your dreams.

    This is my new favorite nail salon for a few reasons. First and foremost, their customer service. They stay open late for me almost every time I come in. I have a crazy schedule and am often cramming them in at the end of a long day when I need my nails done most. I am a demanding customer and my nails often take well over and hour, but they always accommodate. They have also honored requests other nail salons have told me can't be done. I get dip powder and have always wanted matte nails. They didn't think it was possible but my nail tech asked for advice from other the other techs on how they might make my vision a reality - and they figured it out! My advice to any customers of theirs is to be clear about what you want. This applies to other salons as well but here they actually listen. Don't be shy. If you want your nails to look thinner, speak up. They may advise you against what you want for the sake of longevity but if you know what's important to you, insist and they will make it happen.

    I have been a loyal client of Chestnut St. Nails for more than a decade. Tracy is my girl. If you want professional and classy nails that will take you from work to play, Chestnut St. will take care of you. The salon has the latest colors for every season. They also keep up with the latest trends. The staff is courteous and friendly. I am always satisfied with my gel manicures and pedicures. For a downtown location, the prices can't be beat! I've seen the owner, Chou, go out of her way to help clients. I've even had them mix colors to achieve the look I'm going for. If you're ever in downtown Philly, stop in to give them a try.

    She messed up my toe three times and it took an hour horrible job. I came in to get my nails done and

    I walked in late on a Thursday and was pleasantly pleased when I left. Tracy did my pedicure and Wendy did my gel manicure refill w tips (simultaneously.) Both look lovely. Service was rushed but thats ok because I don't prefer to spend all day at the nail salon. This salon is always busy from what I can tell but I plan to return.

    The owner, Tracy, sat me down, cleaned my wounds with alcohol, and patched me up with bandaids as thought I were her own child!

    Update: This salon continues to amaze me. I received a pedicure recently which sealed the deal. I…read morenever need to find a new nail place! Use the home made soap, you won't regret it! I recently moved to northern libs from center city. The first few months I traveled into center city to get my nails done but yesterday I decided I was over it. I read a million reviews about a ton of places in walking distance and on a lark gave this salon a try (the fact that one of the comments said they had a cat sealed the deal). I honestly could not be happier!!! Everyone has had a bad manicure so I went in skeptical. I'm a creature of habit and I know my old salon is amazing but the ability to walk and not fight traffic was clutch. Anyway this place is phenomenal. They take their time, they are so nice, Lemon (the cat) is absolutely precious. My nails look stunning!! I've received so many compliments today!! I got the powder dip and seriously my nails are flawless. I could not be happier and I'm thrilled to have a new salon to become a regular

    My new go to spot! I tried this salon for the first time today and it's going to be my new favorite…read moreby far. Their high quality and attention to detail is unmatched! Lin took such care with my nails and they are absolutely flawless. I would trust them with any design or request. The owner Vy was kind, funny and talented as well! The salon had a serene, clean, welcoming atmosphere. The salon poodles Lily and Lotus relax alongside you and are just the sweetest and cutest.

    I have had gel manicures and regular pedis a few times here. The last time I went the owner was…read moregiving me a massage while the tech was painting my nails. First, he seemed to be giving a more aggressive massage than usual making it difficult for tech to paint my nails. Then he was massaging my lower back and actually "massaged" my bottom. He has never done this before. It was gross. I tried to move and he moved his hand up. Also, the tech I had -I don't know her name- she is the youngest one -again did a gel manicure that chipped within 2 days. I thought it was a fluke the first time but now I know it is her. She also rushes as though there is another customer waiting when there isn't. I was hoping for a different tech that did a better job on another visit but no such luck. The positive is they use plastic liners for foot tub and give you a cold water bottle.

    I have been putting this off for a while, but I'm sad to say that I won't be going back to Allure…read more I have always been a walk in because I never know if I'll feel well on a given day and have the energy to get my nails done. I probably should have made an appointment for my last few visits, because I somehow always get Coco and she's just not good. She did a dip mani on me a few weeks ago - my first - that was so lumpy and thick that the cuticle edges kept catching on my hair and clothes. When I finally went back to have it removed and get a regular gel manicure instead, she rushed through my pedicure (no spa, just regular). While she was using the callus file she was looking around the salon and not at my heels, which she was sanding down to nothing. Barely any massage. The gel manicure was also rushed. She was using a worn file to shred the thick layers of dip powder - which she'd applied a few weeks ago - until my nail plates felt sore. You can see how the polish was applied. No cleaning up of the skin around my nails and a gap between the polish and cuticle. I didn't love the color (it definitely looked different on the swatch nail) but I just wanted to leave at that point. I walked out feeling like I wasted $40 plus tip. And now my nails are SO THIN. I'm sad because I really like Alice, Lily, June, and the gentleman who does the massages. I've been going here forever. I just can't keep wasting money on bad manicures. I also miss when they'd use a fresh file and buffer on each client, but now they're obviously reusing the ones they have into the ground.
