I've visited this place several times with my family, but today I came alone and had a very disappointing experience. As an African American male, I couldn't help but feel like I was being treated differently. The technician stopped multiple times to talk on her phone and chat with people in the neighborhood instead of focusing on my service. She rushed through the job and even cut my cuticle, which was painful and careless. I had planned to get a manicure as well, but after being treated so poorly, I decided not to spend any more of my money here. If you value respect and quality service, I think it's a nice place but I think this technician just assumed it was my first time. read more

Hyping this place up because look at how pretty! I appreciate that Helen works fast and is still meticulous in her work on my nails. I'll show her an inspo photo and she'll take the time to make sure I get the color, shape and design I want. This place is always calm and peaceful, and the staff is always welcoming. The second photo is just to show the quality of work on applying and shaping the acrylic read more

Super friendly & great service. Love my nails, will be coming back! They also have so many colors to choose from.

Surprised at the reviews! I am part of a program called Best Buddies and my buddy and I went here for her birthday! We had a really lovely time and both got manicures and they were very accommodating to us as a pair which I love to see!! Not to mention the place was clean, the prices seemed average, and my nails look great still! Got regular polish on Monday and it's Friday and still on and flawless! Highly recommend! read more

Took me right away. Pedi took roughly 45 mins which is normal. Quick and accurate. They told me at the end that they are only taking cash at the moment and I didn't have any. They told me I could use the ATM. It's not the biggest deal but I do believe they should have verbalized that in the beginning of my experience instead of the end. read more

Me and my husband just came from here. I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure and he got a regular pedicure. The girl that did my pedicure was fast and efficient and my pedicure came out looking good. The girl that did my husband's pedicure is the same girl that did my husband's pedicure. She was so rough, too rough. I found out from him later on that she did the same thing that she did to me. Pulled the skin on his big toe and made it bleed and I had some light loose skin on my finger and she did the same thing to me. If you have light loose skin on your finger you don't pull it to make it worse you cut it!! Nevertheless, this is a one and done for me. Then when we were leaving, the total price was $105, she took $10 off cause we paid in cash. He gave her $100, and I told him to let her have the $5 that was left and give her another $3. She lucky I left anything for bleeding. read more

I'm sorry but I went here three times because I thought it is one of the cheaper options, but every time I go I come out bleeding or burnt. What kind of specialist wraps fingers in alcohol and aluminum foil to wrap around HOT TOWEL? all my fingers got burnt. Also they change the price depending on the day? I will never visit again.. read more

Beautuful clean surroundings Very competent and knowledgeable staff Needing a really good pedicure i stopped in here at the recommendation of girls at a local salon who love this place. I was no disappointed. I elected the high end COCO BLUe SPA PEDICURE which in addition to fantastic exfoliation ,wax on the feet with warm booties to aid in softening ,it also came with a blanket over my legs while my legs and feet were steamed soft. This was fantastic!!!. I would highly recommend this as the first ped of the season. Or special ovcasion. Topping this off was the offer of a mimosa. Pampered all the way!! read more

I have been going to the Bala Cynwyd location for years but I live in Ardmore. This was the worst gel manicure I've ever had. It barely lasted 2 weeks and I ended up peeling up all the polish. Also I had 2 different technicians cut me in 2 different places. I won't go back. read more

NOTE - this review is for dip manicures ONLY!. It makes me sad to even have to write this review because I like this saloon a lot. It is clean and the staff is friendly. This place is probably the best pedicure I've ever gotten. That said, I have tried getting a dip manicure there twice and both times the manicure peeled off in just over a week. They do not do all the steps that are required to make the dip manicure stay. If you are looking for a dip manicure, DO NOT come here. Anything else, I would highly recommend. read more

Best pedicure of my life, and I've had a lot of them! Salon is clean, friendly and has great color options. Before painting my toes (after a wonderful massage with hot stones) they put paraffin on your heels and these adorable little toeless socks! Everything, including files, all comes out of a new package. read more

I came here to get a mani and pedi for graduation. The owner is generous and helped me pick out a color that would match my dress and skin tone. The ladies who polished our nails were nice and considerate. They massage your feet and hands after the manicure is applied. Both me and my friend were extremely satisfied with the work and service. read more

Coco Blue - Mani and pedi - Nail Salons Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

No complaints here. Came on a Saturday for a mani pedi. It was a busy day. Lots of people working. Despite all the customers and workers, it was very quiet. It really was a relaxing atmosphere. My pedicure was really great. I enjoyed every minute. Manicure was the same. I had one person doing my hands while another did my feet. I was offered free mimosas during my visit. What a pleasant surprise! While my nails were drying, I was given a wonderful mini massage for free! The atmosphere was really nice. Place seemed clean. I loved my experience here! I definitely recommend and would come back again. read more

I live in NYC now but whenever I come home this is my name salon of choice! My Gel manicures last a full 2-3 weeks every time & my pedicures last even longer! Highly recommend. read more

Tried this place for the third time and it was not a charm. I checked in and got seated. Was told during wait that I could not be accommodated. They weren't even that busy. I thought I'd try to give this place a chance but i can't anymore. First time my nails chipped immediately. Second time the tech disappeared for 15 minutes to eat. Then this mess happens... Completely done. read more

Came here recently for a pedicure. I didn't have to wait at all despite not having an appointment. The place is very nice and they really give you the "spa treatment" here. The pedicure chairs are so comfy and are the vibrating massage kind. I got the basic pedicure, but the lady really took her time and did a good job and it felt great. My feet look good and I definitely would come back here again. My only complaints are: -$30 for the basic pedicure I feel is a bit high. If you want the "spa pedicure" with hot stone it's going to cost you $65. - You can't put tips on a credit card, which is difficult because I always carry limited cash. I feel like it wouldn't be too hard to add this considering restaurants and other places don't have this policy read more

I've been going to the location in Newtown Square, PA and really like it. The salon is new with lots of pedicure and manicure stations. It is really clean and they use disposable tub liners for pedicures. Lots of polishes to choose from and reasonable prices. I highly recommend it. read more

First time here. I am some one who occasionally gets my nails done so I consider it a splurge and my main thing is customer service. I went with my friend and it wasn't busy. We went in and browse the color section. We asked about powder and was basically told that it's no different from gel other than it takes longer. I felt like he should have given more information. Then they asked us if they could do the manicure and the pedicure at the same time. This was the first time I've ever been asked and we both said ok. The two people who did my manicure and pedicure basically were more involved with talking to each other than in providing customer service to me. They were also speaking in Spanish. They did not ask me if I wanted my cuticles cut and started to cut. They also overcut to the point where I was feeling pain. They placed the gel heating machine on my lap (they need a better system because I was concerned about it dropping). They put plastic wrap on the feet (not sure why) but it was very itchy. There were bubbles on the nails that I could see (again due to the fact that my nail lady was more focused on talking to her coworker than on me) and I had to ask her to redo it 2 times. It was still noticeable after the 2nd time but she was telling her coworker nada and showing her the nail (this was very disrespectful in my opinion) and at this point I wasn't going to bother. Additionally my toes were not cut well. One of the other ladies came and tried to help. She cut my toes twice trying to get it looking good but I felt like she was making it worse. Because of this, and the fact that the decor was nice and they seem to be pretty sanitary, that's why I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 1 star. My friend's nail person was slightly better but my friend and I wanted to talk but because he kept talking to her, I gave up talking to her. My friend also said that some of the topic discussions were a bit weird. One pro is that they offer a reward card (not sure what you get once you filled it up). I personally would not come back. I'm interested in good customer service when I get a manicure and pedicure since I am spending $50+ after tax and tip. read more

First off; they offer complimentary drinks and mimosas. The staff was extremely friendly and polite. I love that this place is super clean and has a soothing ambiance. My friend & I came during the middle of the day so there was no wait and it wasn't crowded. I loved the fact that we were serviced right away. They made sure we were comfortable and went right to it. Their foot massages are one of the best you will get when getting a pedicure. I forgot to pick a color & my tech had no problem choosing a few options for me while I stayed relaxed. I will definitely be returning here for my future mani & pedi since my personal salon is so far away from my new home. I would highly recommend if you're on the main line to head here . It's a bit pricey but you get your money's worth; I promise! read more

I needed an urgent appointment and my usual nail salon was booked. I knew a few people who came here regularly so I thought I'd give it a try. The atmosphere was incredibly dated and the employees looked miserable. It appeared to be a slow day and everyone was on their phones. As soon as I walked in none of the nail artists looked up from their phones hoping that they wouldn't have to be the one to do my nails. Even after we got past that obstacle, the woman who was doing my nails was very sloppy and distracted. My cuticles were butchered. It was so painful. The only reason I gave them 2 stars instead of 1 is because they were able to accommodate a walk-in appointment. I even tipped her generously prior to her doing my nails, clearly that was a mistake. Will not be going back. read more

Horribel. Will nevr go back. Paid a high price for my daughter and I only to last a day. The worse. The Tech was in such a hurry. read more

Pedicure experience was horrible! My daughter and I went 9/3/16 because my normal place didn't honor my appointment. This place did honor a walk in. We should have turned and walked out because we were met with an old molded smell at the door! The first tech was extremely rough. Next to my daughter, was a male Tech named Andy. I know this because I noticed how gentle he was with his customer (white female). My tech got so rough the tech next to me asked her to polish my daughter, while Andy finished my pedi. Would you believe Andy wasn't the gentle being he was with his initial customer. He scrubbed like my foot was diseased, and during the massage, he twisted my ankle so bad, it caused excruciating pain to my right knee. This pain has persisted over the holiday weekend. I have needed to ice and stay off of it. I will definitely need to see a doctor. Next, a third tech then finished off my pedi needing to refile. The clip down job done by the first tech drew blood and was obviously cut on a slant so much that additional filing couldn't fix it. They didn't even clean up my cuticles. Oh, let me not forget another observation made by my 11 year old. They used paper towels to separate our toes, but actual toe separators on the other patrons (white females). And, my daughter's pedi cost the same amount, but they didn't use the pumas stone on her at all. And lastly, my heels were more rough after the pedi than it was before. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE, IT MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH!!! I will be scheduling with my orthopedic tomorrow. read more

Coco Blue - Bonita toes!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

I went there to get my acrylic nails soak off and the manager charged me $25 dollars JUST FOR THE SOAK OFF and after I left, I called to ask how much the soak off acrylic nails was and they said it was 10 dollars!!. I was surprised. Then, to make sure I went through their wed side to see the menu . It said $10 dollars as well. So, why the manager charged me $25? If they said it was $10 only. I'm so disappointed. Also the manager was so rude . I'll never come back again. read more

Great nail salon. They do gel, and regular manicure as well as pedicures. They have many stations so the likelihood is that they will have a spot for you. They have many color options for both gel and regular polish. They do some hand massage before they start polishing and back massage while you are waiting for it to dry. I did not do the pedicure so I am not sure what massages they do there) One piece to note is that they don't have hand protection gloves for those using the gel, so just be aware of this if you are concerned. read more

I would not recommend this place. Two weeks ago I went to this salon for a gel manicure and pedicure and i am still recovering. Coco (the owner) cut my cuticle so deeply I have developed my first ever nail infection. There is literally a hole in my cuticle (see attached photo). No matter what I have tried-Neosporin, hydrogen peroxide, hot water and anti bacterial soaks nothing has worked. I have to go to my dermatologist this week to get a prescription. Be very cautious! Oh yes and I still was charged- even though I had a band aid on to stop the blood. read more

Coco Blue - Last manicure I had at Coco Blue! 2 weeks later I am still recovering. Went in for a manicure, left with an infection. - Nail Salons Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

I was obsessed with this place, but the person that I always made an appointment with texted me to say she couldn't do my nails anymore because I didn't appreciate her work and what I gave her for a tip was not enough. I always give the same tip everywhere I go, what a rude woman. read more

Never come here. Came here with my sister who was clearly pregnant. They rushed us and started my pedicure before hers and she was done almost 15 minutes before mine. read more

Service has gone downhill! Alwags rushed and some of the new staff are quite rude. This used to be the best nail salon in the area and it is such a shame that they have declined! read more

Always professional and on-time. I love their gel manicures. My gel manicure lasts 2-3 weeks and my pedicures last even longer. The salon is clean and the employees are friendly. It's easy to get an appointment as well. read more

Just horrible. Me and my girlfriend got pedicures and for the whole time, we were just being rushed and the massage was literally less than five minutes.. it might just be the person that worked that day but we also found other people having the same experience as we did.. Definitely not going back. read more

I started coming here last summer. I don't know why I waited to write the review. Manicure: to be honest...no different from other places I've been to. Pedicure: LOVE IT! It is a spa like feel. The big comfy chairs that vibrate are ready to go when you sit down. The best part for me was the hot oiled spa rock that they massage on your calves. It's like heaven. It's my favorite part. I would like them to take more of the clauses off, but I think that is more than the basic pedicure, I'm not sure. Go for the extra 15-20 massage while you are drying. It's just a few more $$ and it's worth it. They give you a little 1-2 minute massage, but the 15-20 minute one is a little deeper and much better in the private room on the special chair. I never just walk in, I always make an appointment. I feel that the walk-ins don't get the same treatment as the ones with appointments. Once you get seated you do, but not before. Their phone doesn't always work, so sometimes it's hard to make appointments. They do get very busy in the afternoons. There are TONS of colors, so come early if you have a hard time decided on color. Overall It's a great place and I am so glad I switch places! read more

I got a manicure here with a friend. Competitive pricing with the rest of the area (read: more pricey than I am used to coming from NYC), but the salon is very nice. Lots of seating and many staff make for short wait times and the ability to chat with your friends from the seat next to you. Parking is also not too bad since there is a lot across the street by the train station if you don't want to chance the frequently full metered street parking. read more

After spending most of the day on the phone calling up apartment listings, I was ready to hit my head against the tabletop in frustration and exhaustion. However, a quick glance at my nails as I hung up the phone revealed a far better solution to ridding my stress: MANI-PEDI TIME! However, still being new to the area, I asked my boyfriend's grandmother to recommend a nail salon I could just quickly walk into and she suggested Coco Blue, the salon she goes to for her weekly manicures in Ardmore. After a hilarious episode where my misplaced house and car keys turned up in HER purse, I ran over there and was immediately placed into the care of Sophia and Joy. The place itself is very much like many typical, generic nail salons: one side has a line of manicure tables, the other side has a row of the pedicure massage chairs. They have a reasonable selection of nail polish colors, including OPI, so you'll be able to find a color to suit your mood. The decor is minimal and done in pastels, with a large replica of Botticelli's Venus on one wall, an atmosphere that's clean but nothing special. I opted to have my mani-pedi done at the same time, but other women seemed to prefer having one done before the other. Sophia and Joy were both very professional and nice, and my mani-pedi was completed quickly but still with care and attention to detail. You even get massages on your feet and hands that are slightly lengthier than I was expecting. The one thing I didn't enjoy was the pedicure massage chair - they automatically turn it on for you, and the rolling/kneading motions were far too strong for me (my back is in need of a professional masseuse DESPERATELY), but turning it off was slightly harder than I realized. As your nails dry, you also get a quick shoulder massage, and you are automatically given a little card that, after ten visits, gives you a free mani or pedi! Prices are very reasonable in comparison to other places I've been, I would recommend this place for a quick, no-frills nail stop. read more

I have been going to Coco Blue for manicures and pedicures for at least 4 years. It is a beautiful and clean salon with friendly, non-pretentious staff. The owner is amazing and is always ready to greet you at the door and have a warm, thoughtful conversation with clients. I have been to many nail salons through the years, and this is by far the cleanest and most relaxing. Quiet music provides a calming environment, and stylists are never chatting with one another across the floor. Instead, they are attentive to each customer. A must stop for a relaxing treat to yourself. read more

Haven't been here for a while since the ownership change. It had gone downhill but it thought I would try again since I had used them for so many years. They did a great job, I walked in with no appointment and was taken right away. They do more services for a pedi than most other places and charge less. Great experience and I will be back. read more

Just went to coco blue in conshohocken. We waited here from 12-3, and this was after being told to come back. There was cold water in my pedicure tub, forgot my back massage. It took myself and 3 others 10 minutes to get the employees attention to make the water warmer in our pedicure tubs. I knew 4 others in the salon this day that were also disappointed with the service. My friends manicure looked awful and another employee had to fix it. I paid in full and I gave 5 dollar tip due to the poor service. Manager calls me out on my tip. Do not go to this place. They are rude, and over book appointments. I am a regular customer here and I was treated this way. If the service had been better I would have given my usual tip. Disappointed! read more

Pros: Hot stone leg massage included in normal pedicure, five minute massage while nails dry, massage chairs, foot tub is scrubbed between each patron. Cons: prices, workers seem a little inexperienced, over-zealous dead skin removal around nail bed, tools didn't appear to be sterilized between uses, end result of French pedicure was uneven. A sign hung above the massage chairs saying that it was $15 for the first 15 minutes or some such. I used the chairs and wasn't charged but I don't know why that sign is there. I went to Coco Blue because my normal pedicure place isn't open on Sundays. I came in to a bright, well decorated, fairly pleasant smelling nail salon. Though the pedicure was pleasantly not rushed, it was more painful than most I get. At one point, the person removing dead skin from the side of my big toe nail looked up at me because she didn't know whether it would hurt too much to cut off such a large part of the skin on my toe. That's because she was effectively creating a hang nail where one had never previously existed. I was worried about unnecessarily exposing myself to nail fungus through all of these efforts, especially since the tools hadn't been cleaned in an anesthetizing liquid. The hot stone part was very nice. However, at the end of it, my legs were pounded from both sides with her fists. I bruise easily so I momentarily wondered whether hitting my legs was a good idea. I'm generally pleased with my results but I came home and put antibacterial cream on all of my nail beds just to make sure I wouldn't get an infection from all of the removal of the cuticles and also the painful, unnecessary removal of the skin to the side of my nails. I really don't know what the point of that was. My nail beautician was nice. She gave me a good massage while my nails were drying so I tipped her well. Price-wise, this place recently raised their prices. They've now priced themselves a tad out of the competitive market for around here: 30 for a regular pedicure, 40 for a regular pedicure plus a 15 minute massage. Both pedicures have hot stones included now. There was a "hidden" extra charge of $5 for the French pedicure, which I guessed it would be a couple dollars more, but for the extra money, I would expect the whites on the tips of my nails to be more regular. The white parts are pretty thick and they're different widths on my big toes which makes them look a little irregular. It's a nice place but it's not the place for me. I'll be going back to my other nail salon. I think they will do well but because there are truly exceptional nail salons in the area, it's hard to compete. read more
