    Holiday Nails
    Latease L.

    Friendly service and wonderful nail work. Management is kind and welcoming to all customers.

    My toes after two weeks in tennis shoes !
    Soroya W.

    Let me say this... we all know how it goes at the nail shop , right ladies ? They really don't listen to us too much and some are just doing their job not actually forming a lasting relationship . This is not the place . It's a family and they treat you like family . They still don't listen all the time but if you go back they start to get it ! Lol it's like talking to your mom! They are always right! However they do amazing work and if you are patient they are very interested in learning your style . They are concerned about making your experience unique and give you what you want ! I feel the prices are comparable . They give you a spa experience ! You can sip water or other your choice ! The mani / pedi and as for me the SNS dipping powder ! Now I like to wait out the two weeks to see how it really comes out ! See for yourself !

    All of nail technicians are very professional and accommodating. I appreciate the time I spent here; I only have a minimums time in town but they booked me right away, and they finished my dipping nail done within 1:30. Big thank you for Sai, she is from Thailand, she is an amazing nail tech here!

    I treated myself to a full set and pedicure in a flash flood. The spa is well located on light street in Federal Hill and it's large, well-lit, and well appointed. I had a problem getting my massage chair going but once it got going it didn't stop! My pedicure was phenomenal, even though she cut my nails much shorter than I generally go. She did an excellent job cleaning around my nails and the polish selections are great. The lady who started my nails was the owner/manager?? She did a cuticle clean first at my request but then passed me to another employee for my nails. She did a decent job but she KEPT going over my cuticles with the drill WHICH I HATE AND IT HURTS. Then she tried to blame me for her carelessness talking about next time don't have her clip your cuticles first...umm, no ma'am, how about you pay attention! The biggest issue is that they pull the standard no credit card tips scam. I hate this. I know it's a tax scam. I get it but stop pretending you can't take credit card tips (and pointing people to the lobby ATM that you make fees on) and just take them when offered. That's seriously a pet peeve of mine. My manicurist at home takes checks: that's fine, but don't expect me to put my debit card in some random ATM to save you $.015 in taxes My last word of caution is about the gel colors. I wanted my toes and nails the same color. They offered me the regular color for my feet which went on first and gel for my nails. The colors weren't the same. Basically test your colors before they dry. They still get 4 stars because the service is good, and I'm quite happy with my nails.

    Dip powder with tip and French tip
    Ashley B.

    I was referred here and took a chance to walk in. I was looking be serviced by Kay but she was unavailable. Long story short, Nikki did a wonderful job, he is very precise, take his time, neat and so much more. I received the dip powder with tip and it look so good. Unfortunately, he do not take appointments just walk ins and doesn't do design, but Kay was able to my French. I am throughly pleased. Yes I will be returning. Plus the place is very clean.

    I've been here three times now and love it every time! I've gotten acrylics two of the times and so far so good. I went on a Tuesday morning and did not have to wait at all, and before, when I went on a weekend, I only had a short wait. I love the way the nails turned out!

    Terrible pedicure
    Thi V.

    I used to love this place but it has really gone downhill. I am picky with my nails in that I expect you to do a better job than me. The last two times I have been incredibly unhappy. The coats are uneven and my nail is not fully covered with polish. I had a gift card that I had to finish using or else I would not come back. I'm hesitant to post a picture (because eww toes) but you have to see this! Save your money and do it yourself or go somewhere else. Edit: I called to ask about a polish change with another manicurist and they said they would not charge me

    Poorly shaped dip job and cut my cuticle open
    Hilary R.

    I went here with two of my friends for mani/pedis before a trip. We all had bad experiences sadly. The staff was very short, and seemed to hurry through our nails. The woman who did my nails was outwardly rude enough for my friends to notice, and I felt I couldn't even make eye contact. When we got there we we're rushed from start to finish; and we're only given two minutes to decide on a color as they waited impatiently next to us. We paid for leg scrubs, which were the fastest I've ever experienced by far. We felt like we were somehow inconveniencing them, and I felt like apologizing but I wasn't sure what I had done wrong... The nails themselves weren't bad, just not very good. They didn't really adjust the cuticles, and she cut one of mine and it was bleeding into polish. I know they have to cut the nails short, but they shaped my dip really wide so my nails look really short and wide...I hate to be so negative but I've never felt so anxious to leave a place.

    Full set oval/almond with French and gems
    Nicole S.

    Here for the week and stopped in for a full set. They were super attentive and professional and the service was great. She was very meticulous and really spent time on my nails. Definitely coming back whenever I'm in town!

    Janine T.

    Great service, convenient location. The ladies here have serious attention to detail. The salon is clean, modern, and complimentary wine, coffee, and water is served. I love the quality of the gel manicures here! I'm very particular about French manicures, and city nails has never disappointed. There are also mid-week deals on mani-pedis, and even on a Wednesday morning, the salon was relatively busy. To me, that speaks volumes about the success of the place. Because I was with a friend, we wanted to sit together, AND I had requested a particular nail artist, I waited about 30 minutes. During the manicure, I was able to relax and never felt like anyone was rushing me in or out.

    Dip powder, square
    Paige E.

    Good quality nail services. I got dip on my natural nails. Prices are typical. My roommates get acrylic tips done and the designs always look great.

    the unfortunate finished product.
    Rachael R.

    They ruined my cuticles and left my fingers coated in clear nail polish. This place was unsanitary; especially considering the fact they painted a hair onto my nail. The nail tech continuously cut up the skin surrounding my nails with her tools, and didn't even acknowledge my bleeding. After tons of charges I was never told about, my total for an acrylic fill with gel polish came out to $65, for work that looked absolutely awful. Upon asking them to clean up my fingers, that had both pink and clear polish all over them, I was barraged by employees telling me that it's not their problem and they don't do that there, and that this was a normal nail salon experience (which it clearly is not). My nails were left bumpy and completely uneven in length; most at complete diagonals despite me pointing it out during the manicure. Heavily disappointed from high prices, poor quality and dreadful customer service. Will not be returning.

    When did we stop getting manicures because we wanted "fancy" nails?…read moreWhy do we have to insist on it with each finger nail service? It's been a while since I've had a proper manicure unprompted. Thanh at Light Street Nail Salon is thorough. She MANICURES my nails like they're going for inspection. At each visit, whenever I think she's finished, she'd hold my hand up and do more checking, nipping, massaging etc etc etc My only concern is my cuticles don't like to be snipped especially during the cold months. They retaliate like SHXT and I'm left with hangnails which is so tempting to cut but then when will the vicious cycle end? I digress The salon is small and tidy the techs and customers mature. It's truly a space where you can unwind, scroll your apps uninterrupted or engage in some small chit chat. I like the space. They're also affordable and don't use gimmicks to hike up their prices. AnnnnD, the price quoted at the start is STILL the price at the end of the service. Can I get an Amen!? Very nice salon. 4.5 The End.

I arrived 5 minutes early and checked in without issue and my service started right on time. I did ask about acrylic overlay for my big toes as they often chip but Vivian I informed me they don't offer that and opted to use a bit of glue on one break I just got. I appreciated how she took her time and the end results were great. The business is clean and very intimate (I was the only person for the 1st 30 minutes of the appointment). I also saw her open new tools which I so love and I was relaxed the entire time. I'll definitely return when I'm in the area !!

    I had my first appointment here on September 4th for a full acrylic set with gel polish. I have no…read morecomplaints about this set, and all nails remained in tact with no lifting until my fill. I made an appointment for a fill on Saturday, October 11th because the original set was holding up so well. During this appointment, I had the nail tech make the shape a bit more to my liking and did a simple French tip design. During the appointment, I noticed that (unlike other fills I've gotten), she did not go around the base of the nail to clip any potential lifting-- she just went straight into applying a new layer of acrylic. I'm not the professional, so I didn't think anything of it. The design came out beautiful, and I was again happy with the service. Unfortunately, two days later on Monday, October 13th, half of a nail popped off when I was wiping my hands. The acrylic popped off, but did not cause any damage to my nail underneath. They are closed Tuesdays, so I called on Wednesday to ask when I could come in to have the nail fixed. Ordinarily, when a customer is inconvenienced because of an application error, I would expect the service provider to correct it immediately. Instead, they told me to come in Thursday. I was slightly disappointed, but agreed. On Thursday, October 16th I went in and got the nail fixed. During this appointment, the nail tech noted she filed down too low on my nails and checked the integrity of the rest of the nails. She fixed the broken nail, and I was on my way. Two days later on Saturday, October 18th, I knocked a different nail on the stove. I've been getting acrylic nails for a decade and have jammed my nails much much worse and not caused any damage. This was merely a graze on the top of the stove. On Sunday, October 19th, I realized that this caused a crack in the middle of the nail. With some finesse, I was able to get the tip off without disrupting my natural nail, but this had already caused a complete tear to the middle of my nail bed, so I had to clip my natural nail down. Within a week of getting the fill, I've had two nail breaks and this was not due to any aggressive treatment to my hands. Worse, this second break has gone down to the middle of the nail bed, so I can't get this fixed. This is a luxury service and this shop has add on costs for everything (including for certain shapes). I can't, in good conscience, recommend this shop or its technicians because there are clearly quality assurance issues. The only reason I would return is to get the rest of this set soaked off because it is clearly a hazard. For the price, absolutely unacceptable.
