Bjorn M.

Had an appt on 12/14 for the BIAB manicure with Janae. The salon is located on the second floor of the Salon Lofts in Ballantyne Village. It's a small salon with about 4 stations and a pedicure chair. Janae was very friendly and provided info on the questions I had about the BIAB manicure. I chose this manicure b/c it's supposed to add a protective layer to your nails and grow them. Since my appointment a week ago I've had 3 nails lift. It's annoying because they keep snagging on clothes and my face when I scratch my nose. I guess maybe I wash my hands too much but for $65 plus tip I would have expected it to last longer than a week.

2.5 years after my start with Digits & Spikes I can say with certainty that this is the best nail salon in Charlotte. I'm pretty sure i've had every team member for my service and every single time, it is perfect. I have had fragile nails my whole life. Normal and gel polish come clean off my nails. Acrylics always break and damage my nails even more. Since starting BIAB with my girls, my nails are so much stronger and healthier. Their range of talent, colors, and service is the best i've ever received. The small space with appointments only is so personable. I hate going to a salon that feels like a factory; one in, one out, with questionable attention to detail. Always the opposite here. Snacks, coffee, water, good vibes, and comfy chairs is the cherry on top. I live in Dilworth and gladly battle the traffic for the best mani ever!

I am in LOVE with this salon! It is more than just a nail salon... it is a community of amazing artists that make you feel welcome, confident and loved! The quality and prices are amazing and the nail care is unmatched! Getting your nails done at Digits & Spikes is an experience of luxury, care and positive energy! The most phenomenal nail care experience of my life!

This salon is upstairs inside Salon Loft (suite 420); once inside suite #10! Plenty of parking - parking garage as well. I booked a gel Manicure for 3:30 pm; my service was completed by 4:50 pm. They take their time which I had no issue with - it was wonderful not having my service rushed!! Small, intimate setting. Both ladies were super friendly with bubbling personalities! Black & Woman owned!! This was a refreshing experience from the hustle & bustle of asian nail salons; you're able to receive a one-on-one experience. My total came to $50 (charged a gel soak off fee since this was another salons work). They accept cash and debit card. I have my next appointment booked!

My girl Jacinda killed it again!! She's the best and I love getting to see her! I usually go in for fills on my BIAB overlay with a gel polish color. But last visit I was getting ready to go on vacation to Disney and wanted to do something special and different! Needless to say these are my absolute favorite set of nails I've ever had! Jacinda is so talented and has such an amazing attention to detail! I have gotten soooo many compliments on my nails!! So if you're looking for someone to get your nails done with, I'd 10/10 recommend Jacinda!!

I'm not sure what you're waiting for, you needs to go already. Hands down THE BEST GEL MANI I'VE EVER HAD! The back never never never lifted. Sides either. Been following on the gram for a bit and finally was able to get an appointment while I was visiting from NoVa. Clean, cute, and efficient. New and fresh colors and technicians you can gab with. Pricing is what it's suppose to be, if you think it's too high...that's on you.

Stacelyn did an excellent job. I had a hard time finding a nail salon that offered more than the ordinary nail design and finally ran across her Instagram page. Glad I did! It was a pleasure to experience engaging conversation and knowledge of healthy nails and products! It was my first visit and I was happy with the end result!

Do you do acrylics?

We're a natural nail salon so we do not offer any acrylics or dip powder manicures. If you would like extensions we do offer the Apreś Gel-X Extensions that are safe, durable, feel and look natural, and can last 4+ weeks

This business is on class pass so I made a reservation through the app with credits. I went…read moreSaturday afternoon and they were not busy at all. There is a parking lot and a parking deck where I found parking. It is upstairs. The facility is nothing fancy, the pedicure chairs are massage chairs. They have a TON of polish options both gel and not, so that was nice but I found the bottles to be sticky when searching for a color. I wasn't rushed when picking a color which was nice. It was HOT inside. It was an 81 degree day at the beginning of April so maybe they weren't prepared for that yet (they did have fans on) but I was extremely hot. They had the radio on so some commercials played, not constant music. I wasn't offered a drink or any beverages. The nail tech was rough on my nails and feet, there were several points I was uncomfortable and even wondered if I might bleed. I do have cuts on my toes after. She did do a thorough job with a nice leg massage including wax treatment. My nails looked really nice afterwards. It took about an hour for a gel pedicure.

I booked a mani-pedi through ClassPass. Based on the reviews and the fact that there wasn't many…read morerecent reviews, I was skeptical. My husband and I both had appointments booked an hour apart. My appointment started before my scheduled time., and that was good because that meant my husband wouldn't have to sit around and wait for me for an hour. My pedicure and manicure were really good. The foot and arm/hand massages were good. The foot paraffin was good. When I took off the nail polish from my toes, my toes were not discolored or infected. I did use tea tree oil after the pedicure. Service was good. The two women working were nice. I would go back again.

I was staying at the Homewood Suites and found this nail salon to be extremely convenient and…read morewithin walking distance. Upon entering, I was greeted by the manager and advised that I wanted a manicure with gel polish. Sofi provided my service. During the first several minutes, she repeatedly tried to persuade me to switch to acrylic or SNS, despite my clearly and consistently stating that I did not want those services. Additionally, she appeared frustrated when I changed my mind about my polish color. As a customer, I believe I have the right to adjust my color choice--especially when the original color was not fully available or sealed. What was most concerning was that Sofi began speaking about me to the manager in their language during my service. I understood the conversation and had to address both of them directly, advising that it was inappropriate to discuss me while my manicure was still in progress. This was very unprofessional and uncomfortable. Although I paid and tipped, I will not be returning. I hope this serves as a reminder for the business to be mindful of how they speak about customers--especially since you never know who may understand the language.

At times, the attitudes can feel a bit harsh, but the owners are very sweet and professional. Just keep in mind that they do not take walk-ins close to closing, even for simple services, so it's best to plan ahead. Overall, it's a good nail salon in the area, and I love that they offer drinks like wine, soda, or water during your service.

I went in with my 5-year-old daughter, three teenage sisters, and my stepmom to celebrate my birthday with manicures and pedicures. I called ahead to book the appointment, and Mimi was fantastic in organizing everything to ensure we were all set. Upon arrival, I was immediately impressed by how clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed the salon was. The staff wore matching uniforms, the towels were embroidered with the business name, choice of vitamin-infused salt bath for your pedicure, and there was even a mini bar set up for special events. We were given choices of water, tea, coffee, juice, wine or champagne (I ordered a mimosa of course!). It was clear they take great pride in their space and service. However, there were some issues that affected our experience. My daughter's manicure and pedicure started to disintegrate after just two days, which was disappointing. I took her back to have it redone, and while the staff was accommodating, it was still a hassle. My shellac manicure, which I've had done many times without issue, also started lifting and chipping after just one week, which was unusual for me since I'm used to it lasting 3-4 weeks with no problems. What really added to the frustration was the delay in my stepmom's service. She had trouble with her technician, who wasn't familiar with shellac, and after everyone else was finished, we had to wait for someone else to redo hers. This pushed us over an hour late for our birthday lunch in Uptown and set off a domino effect, causing us to be late for the rest of our planned events. The service was great, the salon's cleanliness and atmosphere were top-notch, and the staff was friendly and professional despite these setbacks. I'm willing to give Alo Nail Salon another shot as it may have just been an off day, especially knowing I've had shellac manicures last for weeks in the past and not to assume 2 hours would be enough for a mani/pedi. I'd recommend it with a bit more caution and extra communication next time--especially if you have a hard stop for time-sensitive plans.
