I would not recommend this nail bar. It took over an hour just to remove my gel nails, and the technique was poor. Even after soaking forever, they still couldn't get all of the gel off properly. On top of that, they charged me for a soak-off when the job wasn't even done right. I ended up leaving without my nails being done at all--such a waste of time and money. read more

Worst pedicure I've ever had.... I've been here several times and each time the service has gotten worse. Stabbed painfully hard under the nail quick several times by a sharp instrument... final product was gloppy and uneven. Left with polish smeared on skin.... manager (owner?) then displayed an angry attitude rather than apologizing or at least offering a discount. Sadly, will not be going back. read more

Mom and I tried this place recently. The pedicure was a great price and included callus removal. They took their time and really ensured that we had the best experience. The price overall I thought was great and affordable where I got a full set of dip with tips pedicure and eyebrow wax for $100. I will come here again! Only negative is that I got a few cuts but I was probably moving too much lol. read more

I came here to get acrylics and my toes done for homecoming, safe to say I will not be returning. The staff is very kind and the salon itself has a comfortable feel, even offering you complementary snacks, however the nails themselves came out horrible. I asked for gel and they did not come out looking like gel whatsoever, they are extremely clumpy and I even have little chunks of the gel under my nails. The acrylic gel was put too far above my cuticle so my nails already looked grown out the day I got them. I was also cut multiple times as she was filing my nails. The toes did come out good though. read more

I don't typically get my nails done. It just tends to snowball into a constant money-suck to keep maintained. But I was feeling festive with the holiday season and decided to check them out to get a Christmas-themed gel polish manicure. Never before have I had someone work some meticulously on my cuticles and shaping my nails. Also, I watched her painting technique and it was much more detailed and attentive that any other place I've tried in the past. I was impressed. I'm even considering going back to get some sort of NYE-themed gel polish manicure in the next couple of weeks. read more

My friend and I came in here a week ago, hoping for 2 pedis and a mani for myself. It was sort of last minute, and a Saturday, so we decided to call around to shops in the area to see if anyone could possibly squeeze us in any time that day. The lady who answered the phone at Coco said they could take us at 12:30, so we made appointments for then. When we showed up at 12:30, she had us pick a color and said it'd be a short wait. No problem, it's a Saturday, we can hang out for ten minutes. Thirty minutes later, my friend leans over to say that we should probably just head out. I agreed, but ask we shifted to put our coats back on, the same lady came back out and had us sit in the pedicure chairs. Alright. The chairs were quite nice, I'll give them that, but we then waited another 15 minutes for other technicians to show up and start the pedicure. The pedicure was good, though my friend noted there wasn't a massage at all, which is pretty standard I thought. Also, my technician was digging in the cuticle of my right big toe pretty intensely, but was covering it with her finger pretty much the whole time. I figured out about 30 mins in that she'd cut me, and was trying to cover it up; however, since it hurt, I obviously knew. After that, my friend and I split as I reluctantly went for the manicure. I should've just left, but I really wanted my nails and fingers to be the same color. The manicure was fine, but she did cut my pinky cuticle. The gel came out pretty lumpy; definitely not the greatest manicure I've ever had. The cuticles are kind of messy, though they haven't lifted yet (I'll give them that). Meanwhile, my friend was charged twice for her pedicure. She had to come back in to inform them, though she did get the refund the next day or Monday. Throughout the manicure, I watched as people walked in and asked if they could perform services, or called and asked. The owner never turned them away, just gave them a time to come back. All business is good, I get it, but after about the third call, I was very confused. They were clearly overwhelmed. At one point, some ladies who had scheduled an appointment walked in, and the owner seemed almost mad they had shown up. They then also had to wait 30 mins after their appointment time to be seen. It just seemed a little off the rails schedule-wise. Once I finally left, and was laughing with my friend via text about how that was a disastrous foray into a new nail salon, I got a glimpse of my finger and toenails in the sun...and they're completely different colors. The whole reason I paid to get my nails done in the first place. Anyway, I never have written a review for a place. I'm also not incredibly picky with service; I've worked in service, I know most oversights tend to be because someone's having a bad day. Like I said, I'm fine waiting 10-15 minutes after my appointment time. But this was just...so much. It's been over a week since this experience, and I've been debating whether or not to make a review, but I'm reminded every time I look at the scab on my cuticle. We won't be back. read more

While visiting my friend in the Baltimore area, I wanted to get a mani/ pedi. The place is ok, a little crowded with tables too close to one another. Not as nice compare to other salons near by. My biggest complaint was the way they rushed their customer as if it was a factory. I know every salon does it when it's busy but this one is so obvious. Especially the owner, she was so rude and wanted the nail tech to put me to the next table so she could finish my gel manicure so they can push another customer. Overall, not the greatest since my nails didn't even turn out all that nice. I went there just to relax after a long stressful day. NOT TO BE TREATED THAT WAY. PLEASE TAKE YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO FOR A PLACE TO RELAX. read more

Very patient and awesome designs!! The service was great and the customer service was excellent

Tried this place for a manicure today. I have done dip nails for years and have tried quite a few places, so I've seen a range of qualified people. I said I was there for a manicure and they started the process to remove what I had. Most places have multiple Drimel heads. It was "fast and hot" and caught my skin a couple times and I pulled back in recoil. Somehow, she had me doing a pedicure too-which was my own fault, I didn't need one and it wasn't comfortable. Too hard pressure, digging for reasons I didn't get. I would speak up but it didn't improve. Although not the clinicians fault, I also do NOT recommend the pedicure chairs. They are very rough and tough on the low back, pelvis. The nails aren't shaped how I asked, but they are too short to address until they grow. read more

Have you ever paid for something, with tip, and then kicked yourself about it? Yeah. This was way overpriced especially considering the poor quality and skipped steps. I've had enough salon visits to know what happens when you get a pretty straightforward service. Cons: Didn't use lotion or massage hands until asked and this was after the polish was applied (and still wet). No cuticle oil. No opportunity to wash hands after trimming. Didn't clean nails at all (not under or without a brush). So much red polish on my fingers and cuticles that my fingers look like they're bleeding. One nail is darker than all of the others because there was some kind of dust on my nail (maybe because they weren't buffed) and rather than remove it nail tech kept painting over it. Didn't pluck strays after eyebrow wax. Didn't trim eyebrows at all. Literally rushed me from manicure table to drying table then within seconds (with still wet nails obviously) back to have eyebrow wax. Didn't let me pay before nails were painted. Pros: Nice facilities. No wait. Lots of color options. They may offer you a drink of water. Maybe. Cost with tip: $35. Not worth it when I had to go home and finish everything myself--especially since my hands looked worse coming out than when I walked in! read more

I asked for the green nail design & ended up with this. It is beyond awful & a sloppy job. She even added some random silver to my one hand. On top of that, they had none of the colors I asked for, took multiple tries to finally find one they had. I shouldn't have had to pay. Never going here again. They had no nail color options in stock that I wanted. The inside is very messy and looks very old. read more

This place is just plain awful. My dog was being groomed and I was forced to give this place another try despite having a bad experience previously. This was the only salon open at 10am off Snowden. It was just as I remembered....the technician was rude, flippant, and barely performed any of the services for a basic pedi. At every turn, they will pressure you for an upgrade or if you ask for them to actually perform the service, you're met with "NO" that's extra. I asked for more than 10 seconds of the pummus stone just now, and was told that's not included (when it is literally on the service description). After 10 mins of her getting up, going to the front, taking personal calls and texting, I said you're being unprofessional and rude. She replies "I DONT CARE"... and continues to speak to me aggressively in her native language, not in English. Not only will I NEVER come back here, 70 dollars for a basic pedi in Columbia is WAY overpriced for what you get. The whole pedi was 10 mins of active work (including when she rubbed my legs). I've been in the chair for 40 mins. AWFUL EXPERIENCE AND DO NOT COME HERE. There are other places that provide better service and are cheaper. It's no wonder no one is ever in here. I don't know how this place survives with rude technicians. read more

I am extremely disappointed with the quality of my gel manicure. I got my nails done on Thursday and exactly 7 days later the polish literally is falling off of my nails. This is unacceptable, Gel nail polish should last at least two weeks. If you would like your polish to stay on do not go to this nail bar. I am very very disappointed read more

Coco Nail Bar - Proof of how the polish is falling off - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I have moved on to another salon. Several months ago I got my nails done, two days later 2 of my nails were coming off at the edges. I came in after work to get my nails fixed, but they were "busy". Mimi was on vacation, and Leslie was there. She told me to come back the next day. (Which was fine) I asked if I could make an appt for 6pm. And she said "No, come in at 1000" I told her I couldn't because I work full time. She then said to just wait for Mimi. This salon is good, but you have to get Mimi or Leslie. I don't know if they have more techs now (because I haven't been back) but at that time, only 2 or 3 people could do acrylics. read more

Gave an extra star because they took me in 15 min prior to closing. Space is clean, comfortable, spa like environment with snacks and drinks. Manager was very kind. Requested a gel manicure and pedicure. The nail specialist was nice but I had to ask her to go back and clip or file nails, correct a few areas of cuticles that were missed etc. not sure her name but she may have been autistic- she told me about 10 times that her grandmother was dead over and over again. She was nice but not very attentive. I can see EACH layer applied on my pedicure which shows how sloppily it was done. FOUR days into my shellac manicure the edges started peeling up and snagging on various things even when running my fingers through my hair. I really wanted to like this place but just not happy with the end product. read more

Lack of detail and care in service and finishing. No attention given to the quality of the service or finished product.

This is a pretty new nail salon. I checked it out because they were giving a 15% off discount. The salon is very clean, and the owner is very welcoming and sweet. I walked in after work one day and she said it would be about a 20 minute wait, so I put my name down and walked to a nearby store in the shopping center. When I came back after 20 minutes, the owner said it would be a few more minutes. I probably ended up waiting another 30 minutes to be served. I was hoping to have the owner as my technician but I ended up with someone else. Although I waited for a long time, the owner did ask if I wanted anything to drink like water or soda, which was nice. When the guy asked me what I wanted to do to my nails, I just asked for a gel French manicure, and I think he was disappointed that I didn't want acrylic, and asked me if I was sure that I wanted gel. He was a little rough with handling my hands, the shape of the French manicure wasn't really aligned with my nail shape, and the gel didn't go to the sides of my nails, but I didn't really say anything because I didn't want to offend him and you couldn't really tell from far away. I don't really get my nails done often, but their prices seem to be comparable to other nail salons. The 15% off discount helped, but I pretty much paid the original price with including the tip. read more

Ruby was polite and very attentive.she was up front with the prices of the products and gave me a pillow for my back and made me a mimosa.lighting is dim in the pedi area for comfort.rest of staff pretty much was amongst themselves and didn't speak and I don't appreciate the lack of speaking English amongst customers which is a problem with many mail salons which I'm hearing people do their own nails now because they don't appreciate it, but my technician was polite the whole time.a little pricey but I got cat eye polish which turned out ok but not close enough to the cuticles.not certain that I'll be back read more

Honestly this place should be called poopoo nails! I got my nails done here and it was a total waste of $40. The lady who did my nails was Mimi and the whole time while she doing my nails I swear she never actually looked down at them. Instead she was looking out the front door and facing the other workers talking which caused me to be left with bloody nails because she cut me so many times. Safe to say I will never be back! P.S. Mimi you suck! read more

I have finally found a nail salon I am fully satisfied with. Kyle takes his time to ensure the nail length, shape, color shade is to perfection. He doesn't take appointments only because each client has different services and he does not like to feel rushed when providing quality work. I would also add that with your services you have a beverage menu and can select a water, coffee, tea, red or white wine, mimosa. Happy Pampering! read more

Mary was amazing, I have very ticklish feet and she made sure to be gentle enough that I wasn't squirming around.

Pros: Its clean inside, and they have snacks and drinks. Lots of stations for both manis and pedis.

This is a new nail salon that opened up in the shopping center where Toys R Us used to be and where REI currently is located. Because it recently opened up, they were offering 15% discount (10% when I finally made it to the shop). The salon is clean and has very nice and relaxing ambiance and the staff seemed friendly. But that's where the positive ends... I told them I wanted to get a pedicure and try SNS dip nails for the first time. I told them I wanted my hands and feet colors to match and I told them that I wanted my hand nail shape to be the same as how it was when I came in. While getting my pedicure, the technician made my big toe bleed (i think the lighting in the pedicure area could be brighter), but yet she kept digging at it saying I have in grown nails (I did not or else I would have felt it). After getting my toes painted, she tells me that they don't have matching color for my hands so I had to pick out a similar color. She never even did anything with my cuticles, didn't touch it AT ALL. I actually sat at my chair thinking she'll eventually touch up my cuticles, but she's like, "You're all done". My nail shape is all messed up, uneven and slanted. After almost a week of getting my nails done, I have big cuticle area gap on my hand nails due to my cuticles not being trimmed. My big toe has in-grown nails and after looking at my toe nails closely, there's corner toe nail piece that's just hanging because the technician didn't trim it all the way and she just painted over the hanging nails. I wouldn't come here again. My search continues... read more
