It's a very nice, clean, relaxing & comfortable setting. The stylists are so kind. They take their time with me.

What a wonderful lady. She is professional and doesn't sell things not needed. I am impressed. I asked her for her honest opinion and she could have upsold me and yet she didn't. She said what would work best for my nails. Please try this place. It's good. read more

One of my favorite nail salons in the area. I have a hard time finding a salon that I trust but this is one. It's fun to grab a coffee next door as well. read more

I gave two stars becuase the nail technicians were nice and appropriately conversational during the appointments. As far as work on nails / product: I would give it 1 star - gel polish: sets do not match. both my friend and I got home and had different colors on our hands/toes. due to lighting it was not noticeable in the shop - when I left the shop I realized my "gel manicure" was streaky so I had to drive back and wait half hour for them to be redone. - the next morning when I woke up there were bubbles in ALL of my nails (which makes me belive the polish had been tampered with to extend shelf life) - natural nails: they did a HORRIBLE job on my long natural nails. They had not had any bad breaks in over a year and within 2 days of my "manicure" 3/10 nails had broken at the nailbed leaving both hands uneven. - I paid with Venmo/Cashapp at the request of the technichan which I wish I had not becuase I would have formally requested a partial refund through my credit card (which I did and was ignored) read more

Great local spot, would recommend! Always receive great service. Love that I can grab a coffee next door.

I have never found a salon so dedicated to their customers as this salon. I go to Vivian and she is the best technician I have ever worked with. When I first started going there a year ago my nails were thin, weak and I had to keep them short because they would break and chip if they got beyond finger length. After carefully nurturing my nails for most a year my nails are longer than ever, stronger an ever and consistently beautiful. Thank you so much Vivian! read more

So I went to this nail shop called Columbia nails and I made appointment for 10:30 AM I got there the lady took the powder off of my nails, then she shaped them to the coffin shaped (kind of), at 11:15 she tells me that she have to go to take her daughter lunch and she'll come back . I said OK so what time are you coming back? she said 4 o'clock. The nail tech was named Dawn. I went to "Nail center" by Safeway and the male tech did an amazing job! Who leaves a client with a unfinished job?These nail shops do not respect black people unless you're loud and irate. Please DO NOT make the mistake that I made and go here! read more

Tried this Salon twice now and both times I've been disappointed in my gel manicure. The first time, there was a noticeable gap between the cuticle and where the paint started, making look as if the manicure was already 3 days old. The paint started chipping considerably after only 9 days. The second manicure had the same gap and the paint started bubbling up from the cuticle side after only 5 days! The paint was completely coming off by day 7! The lady also filed my very healthy, strong nails till they were super thin. I realize they're cheaper than some other area salons, but I still paid $30 (before tip) for a manicure that didn't even last 1 week. I will not be going back. read more

I've been coming here for years! Great service, staff is super friendly and accommodating. I've introduced many friends to this place and everyone is happy! I'm saddened by the negative reviews, that is not my experience at all! read more

everyone here is awful except for Dawn.. but only if you are a regular. like the other review says, the workers don't seem like they really care and just want to get the job done. one of the technicians actually broke two of my nails and i was PISSED! but this place is cheaper than other places.. if you decide to go, make sure you get DAWN! read more

I got a manicure here. The tech tried to remove the gel by prying off the polish vs. soaking first and was annoyed when I stopped her. She also belched -I wish I were kidding. She belched through the entire manicure. My stomach started to turn. It's the closest salon to my home but wild horses couldn't drag me there. read more

This nail salon is so cute. Everyone is so nice and has just a overall positive vibe. They definitely hate to keep you waiting and the attention to detail is amazing. Love my color especially just in time for spring and just an overall fun and great experience. read more

Columbia Nails - In loveeeeee - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I have been coming to this nail salon for over 11 years. They are always very friendly and do their best to accommodate you for time and services available. They have a large regular following. They have clients that have standing biweekly appointments. I highly recommend read more

I've been coming here for a couple of weeks now, and I like them. I'm usually in and out and the ladies are friendly and do good work. I would give them 4 stars but I'm typing this review while I wait for a "regular" to finish. The "regular" was late for her appointment, so the nail tech started on my nails. But not even 3 minutes into it, the regular comes in and I was asked to wait. I'm in no rush, so I'm not pissed, but that's not good customer service in my book. So I'm a little disappointed, but normally they're good and I'd recommend them. Today was an off day for them, I think. :( read more

I can not say enough amazing things about this place. I come every two weeks and there is a reason why. You do not feel uncomfortable or like you don't know what is going on. Everyone here is personable and does a great job! I go to Vivian because in my opinion she is the best in all aspects; personality, quality of work, flexibility, speed, attention to detail, etc. I could go on forever about this place. Clean, convenient location, great ambiance, not overcrowded, the list goes on and on. Stop thinking and go here. Now! read more

I love this place, the ladies are awesome, especially Vivian. They do a superb job in everything they do! Sweet and accommodating!

Not impressive. Went in for a simple mani pedi. They did a really sloppy job with everything, filing my nails, the cuticles, the color. The price was low but frankly I can do a better job myself. It seemed like the girl doing my nails was just trying to get it done and didn't care that she was leaving me with visible clauses on my feet, uneven filing and shaping and polish on my cuticles. read more

Best spot tucked away in a business complex. I love the techs. It's always speedy quality service with these beautiful ladies. I see other reviews that don't match this...obviously those customers are not being specific. My manicure (gel overlay) is always on point. Especially considering my extra flair. read more

Made an appt-got there at time I told them. They tried to say I didn't make it at that time and was late. Said they took a walk in in place of my appt & would have to wait 30 mins. First & last time coming there read more

The ladies from Columbia's nails were very welcoming. You don't need an appointment, they take walkins. The ladies are very talkative and nice. They treat you like you were at home. Very reasonable as well in regards to prices. read more

the place here is incredible & cheap. the store is clean & so are the nails. Not only the nails but the waxing, nail polish, & bathroom. The people who work here are kind and friendly. They have like all the colors you would want& if you don't see them you could ask for them. This nail salon is the best yet & my cuticles were PERFECT. They also give out massages either on your hands or feet. They are very relaxing. The pedicure Chairs aren't normal chairs, there massage chairs. The people who work here do exactly as i expect but better. I highly recommend this place to anyone. read more

I have been getting my nails serviced by Mrs. Vivian for over 10 years! Columbia nails is fast, friendly and reasonably priced considering the longevity of your nails. I have tried cheaper places before and the quality is of NO comparison. They offer a wide range of services which include eyelash extension. Everything is clean and tidy. After every client, items are placed in the dry sanitizer and bowls are disinfected. I have moved several times over the past couple of years and I ALWAYS make the drive back to see my gals! If you haven't been, I recommend you give them a try. Anyone you get is great! read more

I went here again to get my eyebrows done, and the lady did my right eyebrow very badly. It looked so different from my original shape (the shape I asked her to keep, I asked for clean up and keep the thickness) and she didn't even show me a mirror so I think I should've known she messed up. read more

I have had a totally different experience than other reviewers. I am not a regular, but have visited Columbia Nails at least a half dozen times in the past several years. I always find them friendly and they do a good job. They are much less expensive than other salons, and not as "high end", but I find them perfectly acceptable for the occasional treat to myself! read more

BEWARE BEFORE YOU GET YOUR LASHES DONE HERE. I had eyelash extensions done at Columbia nails.It was the worst experience ever. The glue burned my eyes and she used tape underneath my eyes that irritated my eyes. She kept pulling on my lashes like she had placed it wrong and trying readjust and it felt like my eyelashes were being pulled out. She clumped the lashes on top of each other making it a give away that they were fake. I had numerous friends and family ask me what I did to my lashes because they looked so awful. My lashes are now starting to fall out in clumps because they were not applied properly. I had nice long lashes before and regret ever going to this place to have my extensions done for a family wedding. I pray my lashes grow back quickly. read more

I have been coming for the past 15 years. Not a flashy nail salon, but they do great work. The women who work there are hard working and friendly. They have a lot of customers who've been coming for years. Hint: Vivien also does a fabulous waxing job! She is the only person I trust with my eyebrows. read more

I have been coming here almost weekly for several years. Everyone is friendly and professional and the manicures and pedicures are excellent! I highly recommend and they are a great value! Oh, and the regular manicures last a week! read more

AWFUL!!! If there was something less than one star I would pick that. I went there for the first time and got the gel nails. They are full of bubbles that are so far into the nail that I have to get the nails completely removed to fix it. And the bubbles are so big that you can see them from far away. Also, the woman would NOT shape them the way I requested. I kept asking her to make them oval shaped and she refused to do it. It was an awful experience and I had to go somewhere else and pay them to fix what columbia nails did wrong. read more
