I had a pedicure on yesterday and my toenails are not shaped correctly. I had to tell her my toenails are not shaped correctly and she could not fix them. I just said never mind and I was upset I paid for this TERRIBLE Service. I am Not satisfied. read more

Showed up multiple times for different services and customer service was always good. -pedicure is never a wait. They charge additional to remove gel color but nothing crazy. -wanted a full set for acrylic nails and was seated within 10 mins. Set was complete in about 45 mins and Tony did a great job. Showed him a pic and he knew exactly what to do. Extra charge if the nails are considered long and yes they will measure them. -wanted a soak off for my acrylic nails and never got any push back. The tech sat with me the whole time and had a great attitude about it. -ATM at location and if you pay cash you get a small discount from the total price. read more

Decent nail shop overall. Clean, friendly, and good service. My nails turned out nice, and the staff was attentive. I'd come back again!

Hai did my nail and he did an amazing jobs- he's done mine before and always does a cool design. This time and last he did the cat eye. And I'm assessed!!! read more

It took me a few days to write this because I was so disgusted by my experience at D&B Nails on Sunday, August 16th. I stopped going here years ago because of double-booking and poor time management, but against my better judgment I gave them another try. Big mistake. The nail tech at station 8 decided to critique my natural nails, telling me they would "be more better" if they grew like artificial nails. Not only was that unprofessional, it was insulting. I don't pay to sit in a chair and be disrespected. Then came checkout. I was charged $15 for "long nails." As an active-duty service member, my nails are kept within strict regulations--hardly "long." When I questioned it, she quickly dropped the charge to $10. That tells me the fee was made up on the spot. What really pushed me over the edge was when I realized she tipped herself. I mentioned I was going to leave a cash tip, and only then did she reluctantly show me the receipt. Sure enough, she had already added a $22.48 tip--without my consent. That's not a mistake. That's stealing. To make it worse, the gel polish on my toes chipped within three hours of leaving the salon. Three hours. The quality didn't even last a day. This place is unprofessional, dishonest, and flat-out shady. Between the disrespect, the bogus charges, the unauthorized tip, and the poor quality of work, I will never return. Customers deserve better than this mess. read more

Lynn was great! Today started off with some tough things to deal with. When I got my nails done Lynn really was genuinely sweet and kind. She did my nails beautifully. She took her time and made sure that I was satisfied with her service. Because of her kindness I will be driving from another state when I need anything done to my nails! Thank you Lynn!

The Nail Tech (back middle) was so rude! When I walked-in, I told the receptionist and Tech I wanted a "cut down and dip powder-fill". He realized and was very annoyed the last place I went applied acrylic not powder. He spent the entire time educating me on the differences and was so upset he almost forgot to cut down my nails -until I reminded him. Then he scolded me- for not telling him sooner- when I clearly did. Also, I requested a design- a design he felt would be ugly on my short nails, and told me to get the traditional "French" - again not listening to what I want and going against what I requested for MY NAILS and the paying customer!! What he gave me was a dry, bulky, sloppy, uneven, boxy, french fill. Wow. I've been coming here for 2 years- I won't return. read more

I came here on a Wednesday evening about 6pm. They seemed pretty busy but they were able to get me in for a regular manicure immediately. Danny was great. He was nice and friendly. The store is pretty large and seats many clients at once. There's a lot of lighting and it's very clean. I paid $25 for a regular manicure which seems reasonable. I'd definitely go again when in the area. read more

Do not come to this place! Horrible eyebrow service! Left unsatisfied took over 30 mins!

The first time i came here was wonderful. The service was nice and prompt & the price was super reasonable. I believe Vicki did my pedicure and it was more than I expected. (A gel color base with French tip) The second time i came in for a full set, I just wanted a nude base with French tip, medium-long, the guy tried to charge me $180!!!! When I was shocked and told him that can't be right he said "fine, $150" I thanked him and left and went to the place sort of across the street.. where I got exactly what I wanted for the expected price range. Which was a little less than half the price of what this guy tried to get me for. I was going out to a fancy dinner so I was dressed very lovely, and they were also busy, I believe it was a Friday night about 2 hours before closing. But that still doesn't excuse the price guage. I'm a bit new to the area and even asked a lady outside if that price was normal for what i wanted and she was shocked & told me that that was absolutely ridiculous. So sad as I actually liked Vicky and thought she did an amazing job on my pedicure my first visit but the second guy ruined the experience. read more

Arlicia was great. She did a beautiful job and was kind and patient with my 12 y/o. The service finished after closing time and she did not rush her work still took the time and care to make the nails perfect. read more

If you want a cheap and quick manicure... come here. Anything else... I wouldn't. I typically get a gel manicure & regular pedicure. I asked for a French today... haven't done that in ages. Unfortunately it was no good. The girl was super nice but couldn't do a French at all. read more

I am based in Los Angeles, but I've been coming here for a couple of years now when I visit family in Virginia. Unfortunately the quality of everything has gone down recently. The first few times I came here, it was great. I didn't have any issues, but the last 2 times has been extremely lackluster. On this particular visit, I got a gel pedicure on Saturday afternoon (11/18/23 - please keep this in mind), I was sat immediately, the nail technician started, and then abruptly stopped to do another service for a client with no explanation or apology. When she came back the water was cold and I had waiting for a quite some time, she did add more hot water. She finished the pedicure with no problems, I paid and left. On Monday morning, I noticed that the paint on my big toe is peeling. I've been able to wear a gel pedicure for up to 2 months with no chipping, and it chips after 2 days. The regular gel pedicure service was $55, which is actually more expensive than what I pay in LA. They are overpriced, the products are not up to par, the service is lackluster, and it's just super disappointing because they have all of the ingredients to be a stellar location. read more

DB Nail Studio - It's hard to tell, but the right corner of my big toe is missing paint, and the second toe's paint is bubbling and has shifted. - Nail Salons Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I came here yesterday (2/26/2024) and I can say they haven't changed at all since I've looked at all the bad reviews. I got a guy nail tech and he was mad at me because I was trying to politely told him that I didn't like the French tip lines he drew. He kept asking me what thickness I wanted and when I told him, he didn't like what I had to say. Overall, 0 stars!!!! He got aggressive as he finished my nails when I asked him not to draw anything and do a nude color. He was literally hurting my cuticles as he used the buffer nail tool. My nails are uneven and lumpy. The salon is outdated and not pleasing to the eye. PLEASE do not go here. read more

firstly, when i walked in it smelled like sewer. The drains must've been clogged because it smelled bad. However, i needed my eyebrows done badly for a military ball. I got my eyebrows done and they look horrible!! I asked to keep the same shape but now my eyebrows are 2 different shapes. The women told me she was new and i told her she should've said that before the service. So in all this place is stinky, unprofessional, and the eyebrow lady don't know what she's doing. don't recommend. read more

This was my first time visiting this establishment and I did not enjoy my visit. I requested a dip manicure and got NeNe. She rushed my experience and was so busy trying to get me to do other services saying you want and pedicure, I said no. you want eyebrow wax, I said no, oh how about lip waxed the. I'm like really lady??? Don't be so money hungry that you're trying to embarrass your clients. After I rejected her potential up charges, she did the dip on my nails without any manicure meaning no soaking of cuticles, my massage of hands nothing. So when I let the owner know about my experienc, he proceeded to tell me oh for a soak and massage that will be $15 extra. Now keep in mind his service books say $50 dip manicure. Oh and how you dipping people fingers in dip powder without first washing their hand? So unsanitary! I will not be back! read more

Sydney is absolutely fantastic. She does such an amazing job. I went in today for a fill, showed her a picture of what I wanted. And she did even better than the picture I showed her. I have been going to this nail salon for years. I have never had a tech a preferred until now. If Sydney is not there, then no one else touches my nails. read more

I received a Gel polish spa pedicure and manicure w/ gel fill. The actual service was good. However, my problem was with the cost. I have been to this nail shop several times. I guess each tech is allowed to charge their own prices because today my cost was more than I had ever paid before for the same service. In addition to being charged $80 for a gel manicure and pedicure. Of course, there was a charge for the gel overlay. I was charged extra for the French style on both my nails and toes, which would be normal if I wasn't charged the additional fees. In addition, I was charged an ombré charge and a nail art charge. Remember, I only had French, which consists of a white line on the tip. This is not ombré. It is not 2 color. It was simply white with the clear coding. They didn't even do the pink color over my the portion of the nail that didn't have color. After I was asked by the tech, I was charged for a cut down. My nails weren't long. The cut down was done with a file. I am very upset that businesses have begun nickel and dimeing people for things that are have always been included in the requested service. If trimming your nails aren't a part of a manicure, I don't know what you is included. I don't have a problem with a business changing its prices or changing it's services. My problem resides in the fact they don't bother to tell you. I didn't argue because I know how fast people of color can be labeled. I just chalked it up to lessons learned. They got me this time. Yet, I will not patronize this establishment again. read more

Ok so it's been awhile since I wrote a review a lot is happening including my family is growing so excited !!! Ok so while babe was getting his hair cut I decided to go next door to D B Nail Studio and was greeted and told the price and told where to sit it was all like bam bam bam nice and smooth.. Well let's take it back when I first walked in there was an older woman and what I believe to be her daughter or granddaughter with her who was kind of fussing but doing it in a classy way not really upset but upset lol... It was too the point the gentleman apologize and ask how can he help me .. Any who I went to IVY now this is my first time here and she was very sweet has the most genuine smile and asked me how I was etc.. She was so gentle yet firm getting the meat off the nails you know and asked me was I ok from time to time and even asked if I wanted my eyebrows done too it's as if she knew I was thinking that very thing . So she got the cuticles together , got my nails painted I got gel I hate waiting for normal polish to dry , & then we went to those eyebrows of mine .. I grew them out so I was like oh boy this isn't going to be good lol but again she was very sweet and gentle and made sure that everything was too my liking BEFORE we left from out the chair.. She gave me her card and even told me Merry Christmas before I left.. OH and let me tell you about this hot towel she placed over my hand after she put the lotion on OMG it was like heaven and it tingles and it felt like my hand pores opened ( is that even a thing lol) and felt very refreshing that's the first time I had it ... So needless to say I will be back great experience for a walk in and no appt set! read more

0 stars - they don't even deserve 1.. I seriously never write reviews, but this really upset me. I got my wedding nails done on 10/5, my wedding was 10/7, and my DIP nail popped off. I've never had issues prior going there. I've had Hai, Sophia, Carson, and Kari when she use to work there. LOVED THEM! (They did not do my wedding nails...) I went to go get them taken off as it was the first time I was available to leave the hospital. Long story short, my grandpa had to have emergency surgery during my wedding & was in critical condition and he was in the ICU. I never left his side as he doesn't live here & he just came for the wedding (which he couldn't attend). I was trying to show the owner (Michael) pictures of my nails the day it popped off and chipped. He didn't want to see it. I asked if I could get a discount since my nails were ruined. (and they were my wedding nails) He then proceeded to say I should've called and let him know as soon as it happened. I told him there was no way I could bc I was in the ICU with no signal. The least of my worries were my nails. He said that's no excuse on why I didn't contact him. He had went to a funeral but he still showed up at work... (I'm sorry but how is that relevant to this?) He proceeded to say he could not do anything bc the policy said 14 days is when they could fix it for free. I said okay, how many points do I have saved up, I'll use those and pay the difference. He then said he refuses to work with me and I was no longer welcome there. He was very ugly and rude with me. I've never had issues until recently and just thinking about it. They don't sanitize their equipment anymore like they use too. They are not as clean. The last time I went there I got a fungi infection on my toes. I've never in my life, had this problem. Not to mention, when I got my wedding nails done, the workers were talking shit right in front of me and laughing. I'm very disappointed with the service and the way I was treated. I feel so bad for the wonderful workers that work there & have such a bad manager. They've lost quite a few techs & now I know why. I'll be following the old techs to their new location(s) as I truly think Michael doesn't know what he is doing. I'll also be telling all my friends, family, and coworkers about this incident and how he handled this situation. All I wanted was my nails to be taken off. I did not want a full refund, I did not want my nails to be redone, I didn't even ask for it to be free! Just a discount. Also I know Michael is going to fight back on this comment because he is a very immature person. Please see all the other poor reviews for more examples of his personality and business. read more

Mike was speaking loudly about all Americans are lazy, late, and messy. I was offended and others in the salon were also. For someone who relies on these lazy, late , messy Americans to pay there American bills was uncalled for. We will never return to see Mike read more

First of all, I have been here here several times before, and the ladies have always been so sweet and kind, and have done a fabulous job! Not so much today! So, I told my nail tech that I did not want the skin around my fingernails trimmed, as I was playing keyboard tomorrow night, and couldn't have sore fingers. She said she had to trim them, so the polish wouldn't peel (?), but said that she would be careful. Well, I have NEVER had a nail tech who was SO ROUGH, and COMPLETELY uninvolved in what she was doing! She was on the phone the ENTIRE time, even when I was checking out, and never spoke to me about what she wanted me to do...she would either tap the dryer or point, and if I didn't react immediately, she seemed annoyed! The only time she spoke was to tell me that I had caused her to hit her hand against the acrylic shield twice, and that it hurt. (This was because when I was unsure of what she wanted me to do, she reached across and grabbed my hand to move it where she wanted it, never getting off of her phone conversation.) Well, at least we were even, because she had already nicked my skin twice by this point! The one positive thing is that because she was rushing, even with her having to remove my previous gel manicure, I was out of there in under 30 minutes! read more

I have been coming here on and off for the last 2-3 years. I went in today the lady that normally does my nails was out and the guy who did my nails today was rude and unprofessional. I am not picky either. It takes a lot to really upset me. Well, he did it. I only got two palets of color to pick from. Then when I said I didn't like the colors he shrugged his shoulders like that's I all I had to choose from. It seems EVERYTIME I go in, it gets worse and worse. Then he didn't clip my nails he dremelled them off and didn't check the length. My nails are now way too short, and some different lengths. Why get an overlay if your nails are barely there? I asked him to glue a nail that was separating from the overlay and he didn't, just clipped it off. I was going to get a pedicure but decided I'll go somewhere else. I will never go back here. Very disappointed in the customer service and quality of service. read more

I will not return here. The girl that did my pedicure was rushed, left streaks in my polish, and put a grainy matte top coat on my toes. When I asked the manager to fix it she had an attitude and didn't even apologize. She then tried to repaint my toes with no base coat. My toes are finally painted, but very sloppy and unprofessional behavior. Edited to add: I just got home and actually had a chance to look at my feet. Worst pedicure I have ever had. Polish is still horrible and my heels are not smooth. Somehow with her little grating tool she made them feel worse than when I started. read more

Love this place. I originally found it because I lived two minutes away but when I moved I quit going for a few months. I was never completely satisfied with the other places I tried after I moved so now I drive the 45 minutes to go get my nails done by them every few weeks. I'm always welcomed warmly by the staff. I've gotten my nails done by at least 5 of the techs there. I've done gel, acrylic, and now I get the sns dip recommended by them which goes right on top of your natural nail. If you show a picture of the shape you want your nail they always file exactly the way I show. The basic pedicure last at least 30 minutes as that is store policy. There is a huge selection of color as well. When the manager isn't actively doing someone's nails he is walking around the store talking to customers to ensure everything is going well. It is worth the drive. read more

I have been to this nail salon probably 5 times. The employees are very welcoming and polite. The shop is clean and there's hardly ever a wait (except weekends). I went yesterday though and my pedicure was the most unpleasant, painful experience I've ever had in my life. From the pictures I attached you can see where Kimberly cut my cuticle so far down that it started to bleed, then when she was using the foot scrubber (callous tool?) she used it on the arch of my foot, causing it to bleed as well. I did end up lightly shrieking in pain and she immediately stopped, however she ended up using a bottle of alcohol and proceeded to spray my injuries, causing it to sting and burn. I couldn't wait to let it dry any longer so I rushed home to treat those wounds before infection starts. Unfortunately I can't spend my money here any longer. This was a disaster and luckily there are many other salons in the area to choose from. I hope this review helps the next person. read more

I was being serviced a few days ago. A woman brought her daughter in to get her nails and toes polished. Mom had to wait in the car. The staff took 2 other clients ahead of the child. Mom came back in to check on her daughter(child maybe 9-11 years old). Needless to say service was denied to this child because the owner said that they complain too much. I've seen this family in here numerous times, they kids are well behaved and I've never heard them complaining. My heart broke for this family. The little girl was very upset. I won't be returning and I've passed this information onto my friends and family. read more
