I have gone there off and on for years. I now only go there for my fill ins. I've had several really bad ones while trying to get a fill in today. Make an appointment! I trust Calvin & Whitney and the pedicures here are excellent as well! read more

Great nail place in terms of quality but don't be late or they will be pissed. I made a last minute appointment to get there within 45 minutes then had a work call that I needed to take so was 15 minutes late. It was my first time there. They called me as I was walking in, which didn't bother me as I let them know what happened. But it was the gruff treatment throughout the visit that will likely keep me from returning. It was like they couldn't bounce back from me being late and they weren't busy, which was totally strange. I've been to a ton of nail salons around the country and this was the worst customer experience I've ever had. read more

Cici nails is a quality salon. It is family run and all associates do excellent work. I've been going here since 2020 and have always been very happy with my service. They are busy and rarely can you get in without making an appointment. So, if you need a walk in salon this is probably not going to work for you. However, if you can plan ahead you will be very happy with the results. read more

Cici's Nail Salon on Merrimon is a top-notch beauty destination for anyone looking for a pampering session. The salon is known for its exceptional services and skilled technicians, including Calvin who is very gentle and kind, and excels in the application of my acrylic nails. Whitney is a brilliant manicurist and also is true perfectionist when applying acrylic nails, gel nails or giving a pedicure. They are the best in town! The pedicures are also highly recommended, with Jenny and Dawn being the experts in delivering a relaxing experience. The shop is well-maintained and always immaculate, which adds to the overall atmosphere. The music played in the salon is also uplifting, making your visit even more enjoyable. Overall, the salon is a wonderful choice for anyone looking for quality services. I have been coming here for over three years, and would not put my hands (literally) in the hands of anyone else. My nails always look beautiful and I receive compliments wherever I go. Thank you Calvin, Whitney, Jenny and Dawn. No, I was not paid to write this review. This is my personal experience and opinions. read more

Great place for a pedicure, but they are very busy so book in advance. It is worth the wait

Overpriced and not impressed with the staff. I went 2 times to come this conclusion and will not be back.

VERY rude staff. I came right when they opened and they turned me away at the door before even asking what service I wanted....I only wanted acrylic nail REMOVAL and nothing else. read more

I tried to make an appointment for a pedicure and gel manicure. The man on the phone was so rude. Wanted to get my granddaughters nails painted while I was getting mine done. He said he didn't have time for me. Wouldn't let me make an appointment. He also hung up on me. I will never go back. read more

Love this place for gel manicures and pedicures! Super clean and really great work keeps me coming back to Whitney. Also nice long massages are super relaxing and I love the pedicure chair massage too. read more

Ci Ci Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

I am fairly new in town. The reviews and recommendations of others brought me here. Tracy was great at giving me a gel manicure. She was courteous and interesting to talk to as she did my nails. The salon is clean and has a very serene feel with soothing music. I didn't have an appointment and didn't have to wait long. I will definitely return for a manicure and pedicure! read more

I was not happy with my experience at this salon. They cut my cuticles too short making me bleed on 6 of my nails and 2 on my friend, the towel they put down under mine and my friends' hands were dirty, and multiple times my nail lady got up to go work on someone else's nails leaving me in the UV dryer for up to 5 minutes at a time. At the end they tried to charge me full price of $30 for the gel manicure and I had to ask for a discount which they gave me $5 off. The only positive take away from this was I'm happy with the color nails I got. read more

Ci Ci Nails - Some of the worst cuts I've ever gotten at a salon - Nail Salons Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

I'm so glad I discovered this nail salon. Instead of the usual TV's blaring, the setting is much more peaceful and relaxing. What I especially like and I know is off putting for some is that they honor an appointment. The last salon I went to was extremely eager to make every dollar and at the expense of long term clients. I would schedule an appointment, then have to sit and wait for as many as 20 minutes after I arrived since they had taken someone ahead of me. A few times, I actually was totally bumped after a larger party walked in before I arrived. CiCi's has a very small staff but they do a great job and are personable folks. They maintain a clean atmosphere and their prices are reasonable. If what you seek is a salon that takes walk-ins, this isn't the place for you. To the previous poster who complained of calluses not being treated, if you need something specific, it's always a good idea to let someone know. I'm sure the staff at CiCi's would put extra effort into accomodating you. read more

My wife and I were very pleased with the manicures and pedicures we received. Great massaging chairs and the staff massaged our arms, hands, and feet for a good while. Excellent service! read more

I'm in town visiting and randomly stopped at Ci Ci Nails. The inside is very clean accompanied with pretty artwork and soothing music. Whitney did a great job on my manicure and is also a very sweet person. I didn't catch the name of the girl that did my pedicure, but she also did a great job and the massage chairs were super comfortable. I would definitely come back here. read more

I was there recently. Had a very nice gel manicure and a pedicure. I believe I was overcharged to the tune of $15. More than Maryland where I have moved from a bit ago. read more

Very clean, very organized and spacious. My daughters and I all got great pedicures and we didn't feel like any of the techs were rushing through the process. One spent extra time and effort on one of my daughters because her feet were beat up from competitive sports. Would definitely visit again! read more

Really great nail salon. I called ahead for an appointment and was seated right away. Relaxing environment. Clean and professional. I've visited a couple other nail salons since moving to Asheville. This one was recommended by my hair stylist and is now my go-to place. read more

Nancy was my tech and she was wonderful. One of the best manicures and pedicures I have had. (And I've had a lot!) I'm going to continue to come back to this salon. (She does eyebrow waxing also - very well done.) read more

This is a wonderful place to get your pampering needs met. My friends and I all got pedicures and were very pleased with the results. The employees are very personable and attentive to your needs. I highly recommend Ci Ci Nails and will be going back! read more

Had an overall great experience here. I came in with an appointment and waited 20 mins to be seen which is why I took one star off--they did have me sit with my feet in the whirlpool while I waited which was nice. The gel manicure I got there was perfect and I will definitely be back for those! The pedicure was great too but chipped within a few days which was a bummer. Overall will be back! read more

I was very disappointed in my pedicure. The technician was very nice, but I left with all of the calluses and dead skin that I walked in with! She massaged my legs a lot, but that's not why I was there. read more

Fantastic experience. They were particularly great with my 10-year old daughter.

I came in for a "deluxe pedicure" and left with nothing more than my toenails painted and legs rubbed down! Not only was I disappointed that there was no exfoliation of my feet, but when I returned home and put my slippers on, the polish rubbed off of my big toes! I went back the next day, and they "fixed it", had me stay under the dryer for a longer period of time, and the SAME thing happened! I went back again, and asked for my money back, and the owner refused. She said they fixed it for me, while I pointed at my half painted pedicure! I will never return here, mostly because of the poor customer service. read more

My mom and I went there and asked them if they wanted had time to do nails and they said they were busy and we can call them and schedule an appointment. So My mom went there to schedule an appointment but the "appointments" they had was empty. My mom and I were running late and asked them if they could move the appointment and said no and then we asked them again if they could move into an hour and they said no because they're going to be "busy." My mom said she would call somebody else. They called us back again and said "Don't come back to CICI's Nails again." My mom said "that's fine." They were really rude to us and didn't even want us there. I don't know why. But mom and I will never go back there anymore. read more

Usually good but when I asked for a different person to do my nails, the woman who runs the place would not look at me and refused to speak to me in English. She just kept telling one person to do my nails. She would not acknowledge me nor answer my questions as to what she was saying in Vietnamese. I finally left and she laughed. Neither I my wife or my three kids will ever go back there. That's a lot of money to let walk out the door plus our usual 20% tip. BTW - I was the only person in the salon and there were three people who worked there. I do not care how good they are, this woman has cost them. read more

I've finally found the nail salon in Asheville for me. Very nice, polite people who do a great job. The atmosphere is restful and relaxing. No TV with obnoxious shows I don't want to see. I love that they keep appointments on time and don't try to squeeze in everyone who walks in. This is a a super place, and I got one of the best mani-pedi's I can remember along with a great leg and foot massage in a peaceful, non-rushed atmosphere. read more

I had a great experience here. It's calm quiet and clean. The folks are professional and he job they did was great. I will be back.

Took my mom for her first pedicure in her life at age 91 - Jenny was wonderful. Gentle, thorough and very skilled at taking on the challenge of my mom's nails. She patiently soaked, cut, trimmed, buffed, massaged,hot toweled, etc. My mom's nails never looked so good. She was on cloud 9 enjoying the beautifully feeling her feet had. It was quiet and restful being there. No blaring music. We will do this again. I highly recommend this place - it was clean, and the staff was very kind. read more
