    The lady who not to go to
    Stephanie B.

    If I could leave lower I would. I have been going here since about 2019/2020. When I first start amazing. I'm not sure now. Today I went and I just received complete attitude from this one girl and this girl they keep giving me the last like 5 times I have been. They make smart comments in another language and then laugh as if someone isn't supposed to pick up on body language and facial expressions. I got completely ignored as I asked for assistance because I messed up a toe. I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to be labeled as the angry black girl, but absolutely horrible. I have no problem spending money on quality but I will not spend money where I feel disrespected every time I come. Again has only been in like the last year/year and half.

    Dip powder

    I have been here twice now, both times the quality of the products used has not been great. I get dip powder, and the first time my nails started chipping within 1 week which is very abnormal for dip powder. I figured maybe the powder they used was old and it was a brand I never usually get elsewhere. This time I picked an opi dip powder and I loved my nails up until a few hours after my appointment, once my nails had fully hardened, I noticed they all have a crackle appearance which was not requested and hides the glitter in the color I had picked out. I think the top coat must be old? Not sure what would cause it to cure this way but this is the second time I have been disappointed with the end result of my nails here. I also have noticed they tend to overbook, I've had to wait both times despite having an appointment. My tech was very sweet and did a good job, and the staff is very nice in general, but overall the poor quality of the dip powder/clear coat they use is enough to make me not want to come back because I can only get dip powder. If I could get gel I would try them again because I do like the staff. Update: the top coat fully started chipping off 2 days after the service. I called the spa and they allowed me to come back in, they took of the top layer, and they put a new clear coat on. It still doesn't look perfect but it's much better and I'm glad they didn't try to charge me for the assistance. Very good customer service.

    Had to have them redo because the first time the base coat was yellow peach. Very bizarre but she said they use it for all French nails. Anyways redid them but was obviously upset with me. Didn't look up close when I left and got home to see both of my big toes were chipped.

    No bueno indeed . Aside from being unhappy with my nails themselves , the tech I had was one of the most lackluster , unfriendly people I have had the displeasure encountering in a nail salon . She barely looked at me and I don't think she even "grunted " hello . But I digress . I try to be diplomatic. They don't have an easy job catering to (I'm aware ) an absolutely elitist service ....and thus a first world problem...but that's a whole nother issue. Suffice to say , if I'm paying $45 for a gel mani I want a good one . My biggest gripe is --I asked very nicely for "thinner line " --said first pinky being done , I politely go "yeah , if it could be quite a bit thinner than that (it looked like I had the entire nail covered so I hesitate to think what "normal " would have been . After a THIRD time , I finally say "perfect ," upon which she proceeds to do the entire rest of my hand with a thicker line than I would have expected for normal --rather than what I had asked for . If I didn't know better , I would have almost thought she was being passive agressive . It was VERY clear I wasn't happy at which point she grunted at me and showed them to me for approval presumably, at which point an exasperated me , just sighed and waived away a 'whatever ,' knowing full well I was not going to get what I asked for . I paid , tipped her well $10 on a $45 service , but I did not appreciate this . Ladies , you feel me when I say , I'm constantly looking down at my nails in chagrin --and feeling like I want to cry --it's a French manicure . How do you f&$@ up a simple French manicure ? The lines are all facocked and uneven . Oy . The poor girl next to me , god bless her , was busy getting the worst gel overlay I've ever seen in my life . It was white polish and it honestly looked like she had panda paws My tech did get me a water because I had a slight tickle when I was there , so I will say that for her . However , you are not getting a "service " here --certainly not a SPA service as it says on the walls . You're getting s begrudging bad polish job by someone who would rather be anywhere else but there . Not s good feeling . And now I step out into the daylight , they're even worse . All bumpy around the edge , with pieces of the shavings of my nail filings stuck in little spots where they didn't bother to buff or clean up around the edges . Argh . Will never be back here .

    I popped in and managed to get a walk-in manicure-pedicure on a Saturday afternoon! They really took their time and made sure my nails were perfect, and this is the lightest and thinnest a gel has looked and felt. BONUS: super COVID conscious and had screens between all patrons and nail techs! UPDATE: changing to a 4 star because I had a great experience and it looked great but my gel started chipping a little bit after about 1 week!

    I have been going to Chic for years. Always had a decent mani, pedi for a reasonable price and was in and out quickly. However, this past Monday 3/28 I went in specifically for a gel or chrome polish. I've had both several times and it always lasted forever. Unfortunately, I felt that my artist wasn't paying attention - she was talking constantly to another employee during my appointment - and 3 of my nails on my right hand are already chipping. Others have air bubbles. My appointment was at 4 pm and it wasn't very busy so I don't understand why she did such a lackluster job. I'm very disappointed because this was for a special event and the work just isn't that good. I'll be returning for pedicures only in the future.

    If I could give negative stars I would. Went on my lunch break for a regular manicure - something a salon should have NO problem with, pretty basic if you ask me. Terrible from The start... after the tech didn't pull out new cuticle cutters and barely cleaned under my nails slops a mess of lotion all over me with no warning - getting it all stuck in my rings. Then she didn't take the old polish off all the way but proceeded to "polish" horribly sloppy. It was thick, uneven, and just a mess. I asked her to take it off as it would never dry - I'd be left with bubbles and knicks. They pull a "new" polish from the cabinet that had to be sitting in there for years - it was dusty and looked just as bad as the original. GROSS - take some pride in your materials - since you cheap out on everything else. I left with no polish and highly irritated $14 later. Avoid this place, not to mention they don't seem to know what's going on - everyone just stares weird when you walk in - like helllllo earth to everyone , I made an appt, am I not a nail salon

    Cracked on the right hand on both fingers after only 3 days
    Erin C.

    I thought I found my forever nail salon in Philly up until a few days ago. The first time I went was the day 1.5 hours before closing before Labor Day weekend and I got a light purple dip powder manicure which turned out to be too thick, and was not smooth. The nail tech was rushing the entire process and was more worried about leaving on time than doing a decent job. So I thought maybe I'll just try someone else there next time, but still give this place a chance. The 2nd visit, I got OPI black dip manicure and regular pedicure for $70 with a different nail technician. Not even a day later, it started cracking. I went back to get my one finger fixed and had to wait 20 minutes just to fix a finger, but I understand that they probably had clients who had made appointments before me. Then a day after that, some of my other nails started cracking as well. Dip powder should be lasting more than 4 days. I really wanted to give this place and the staff a chance but for the price that I pay for isn't worth it.

    In LOVE with my tan given by Fran! I achieved such amazing natural color... fast!!…read more We did a mini consultation before we began and decided to go with "mocha", which is the most popular color. I've had my fair share of spray tans over the years (my husband eve part owned a salon that gave them), and I have never had a color choice like the ones given here. I thought it was awesome! Originally I thought I would want to go darker with the "espresso" and Fran sprayed me, let me look at my tan line, and let me decide. But she was right, "mocha" was just perfect. It's your option to wear (or not) whatever you want. They do have disposable thongs available if you don't want to go au naturale, but want as much color as possible. Fran took her time with me, and even applied baby powder to soak up excess moisture on a very hot day to prevent streaking. Conversation was great and she was super professional. This can certainly be an awkward thing and Fran made me feel completely at ease. If this is your first spray tan be prepared to not get wet for 8-12 hours although for $10 more they have an express option which allows for showering in just 3 hours. Wear baggy dark clothes, exfoliate and shave prior to your appointment. Booking same day was super simple, but I would recommend calling at least a few days in advance. There's 10% with Yelp check-in and BOGO half for first timers. Went with the latter option and cannot wait to return the next time and get sprayed again when I have another special occasion or just want to feel extra golden and sexy. I UV tan regularly and this color is so incredibly difficult to attain that way. Plus, this spray is organic and much bette for you! They also have a full spa downstairs offering facials and lash services. Parking unmetered out front was super simple. Went perfectly with grabbing a bite at Suraya down the street. Awesome find!!

You're paying for someone to take their time, and make your nails look beautiful, and I'm personally willing to pay someone for their artistic craft. Thats what this is. Nails are art.
