I am new to the area and went here based on the ratings on Google and Yelp. I was a walk-in and was seated right away. The salon was clean, calm, and friendly. I got a basic pedicure and manicure, both gel, for around $120 not including tip. I am including price because I cannot find pricing online anywhere and went blind. Took about an hour for the service. read more

Went on a Monday for a fill in and a nail repair, by Wednesday 3 nails had broken off and by Monday 3 more. Service price was $62 dollars. Feel like my money was stolen. Never going again. read more

I didn't find this to be a very friendly nail salon. The tech who worked on my nails was in a big hurry. I scheduled an appointment, but she worked on someone else as she was working on me. To her credit, she didn't nick my cuticles at all. The service I requested was a fill. The small end of one nail wasn't covered with polish and then another nail also had a spot near the cuticle that wasn't covered. For $66 I expect a more professional job. I will say there did appear to be some friendly techs there. I would not describe the woman who helped me that way, however. read more

Great experience here. Make an appointment because the word is out! I've had a full set, dip powder, and polish change - all services exceeded my expectations. I book with Pretty and she is quick, detail oriented, and not too too chatty, which is my preference. The appearance is clean and tidy. This is my new nail salon for a reason. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Anna, I need you to move to NY so you can do my nails till I die. She hooked my nails up! Took 1.5hours but it was worth it! They look so good and it is so precise. The picture I showed her, she did exactly! She took her time filing and shaping my nails, she took her time choosing the right colors... you can tell she loves what she does and it shows in the nails. The prices for the salon are a little pricey, but I mean.... Look at my nails!!! They look so good!!! Anna!! If you ever leave, you better tell me so I can go get my nails done by you wherever you are!! I found a great nail artist and I am destroyed you are in SC. Please think about moving to NY!! Those of you in the area, ask for Anna! You will not be disappointed! read more

I love this place! Every time I come, I'm treated like a friend. I didn't have an appointment but was hoping to be squeezed in since my schedule has been so hectic. I got in after only a 10 minute wait and treated as though I'm the only one in the shop (which I know I'm not, I'm not a diva haha). I got a pedicure and it looks great. I will definitely be back for any of my mail and/or eyebrow needs! read more

This has quickly become my new favorite place to get my nails done. The employees are very friendly and have already remembered me by name. They listen to what I want and offer suggestions as well. My nails always look fresh and and clean. Even when it's busy they don't rush to get to the next person. They take their time to make sure you're happy with your nails. They cater to women, men, and children here which makes it a very inclusive shop. There's tons of colors to choose from and they're keeping up with hygiene standards. read more

I went to distinctive nails for the first time today and they are AMAZING!! Probably the best experience I've ever had in a nail salon. Everyone was super nice, the atmosphere was so relaxed and friendly, and the services are out of this world! I got a classic pedi with gel polish and not only did it turn out great I received the longest foot massage ever. It was simply amazing, and my full set is on another level! Cathy is AMAZING!! I left 100% satisfied with my nails and the hand message afterwards!!! It's just amazing! I'll definitely be back! read more

Came in for a pedi. Shop was bright, clean and staff was friendly. I will definitely be back!

Certainly not happy. There was dents and dips visible on the nails. two of the nail tips came off within 1 & 1/2 weeks.. Pedicure/polish was globed on after being retouched. Went to another salon to have corrected and was $15 cheaper. So very disappoint based on YELPS'S rating. read more

I'm sold on Distinctive Nails! My daughter (5) asked me if we could have a girl's day, and we decided to get pedicures! Her first ever, so she was super excited. Upon arriving, we were told there would be a 40 minute wait. We decided to head over over to a little cafe (The Rustic Muffin) while we were waiting, and I believe she was the owner, but I sadly didn't get her name, told me she would come grab us if they could get us in more quickly. She actually came over to get us in about 10 minutes or less! My daughter was happy to sit in one of the cute children's pedicure chairs, and I was seated right next to her. The nail tech who worked on her pedicure was very nice and patient with her, which is good, because she is very ticklish. He did a great job painting her toes hot pink with glitter on top, and she absolutely loves them! My nail tech, the owner (?), was also very nice and personable. Easy and fun to talk to! My pedicure was great as well! She was very thorough and took her time making sure my feet were smooth, my polish looked good, and I was enjoying myself! It was a great experience, and I will be returning! read more

Brianna begin doing my pedicures a few months back and I continually go to her now because I have had issues in the past with ingrown toenails, which are extremely painful, and now I get regular pedicures to avoid it and she has been great at clearing out my under nail properly so that I haven't had any issues at all. And I really enjoyed chatting with her also! read more

Update - within 20 minutes of my review, the manager has reached out to me to rectify the situation. I appreciate it immensely!! This is the customer service I remembered from this place before I moved away!!!! So disappointed by their management. What is the point of making a reservation, especially for a special occasion?! Several weeks out, we called and scheduled 5 pedicures for a girls birthday weekend. When we arrive, they act clueless until they see the reservation written down in their book. Clearly not prepared as they've taken lots of walk in customers beforehand. The 7 year old birthday girl and my mom still havent gotten her pedicure or manicure started despite us being here for 30 minutes. Absolutely awful business practice. We had a full day planned out but the timing is now ruined. No apology or anything. We will be taking our business elsewhere in the future. Quite a few of their esthetician's are great - they need to take their services elsewhere. Where their management won't be running away their customers. read more

Tried them out for the first time today. Went in unscheduled as a walk in this afternoon. I was immediately greeted and signed in, asked for a pedicure and picked my color. I was immediately taken to a chair that was already being set up. The tech that did my pedicure was very particular and did a great job. Only complaint would be for them to focus more on the heels instead of the middle of my foot on the scrub. The middle of my foot was so ticklish and the heel is where it needs scrubbed the most. Overall it was a great experience and I'd go back again. read more

Had a dip nail manicure with Hana and it was great. She was super fast and very particular. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and I feel like she did a great job executing what I was looking for. I had an appointment scheduled at 930 and maybe had to wait 5 minutes and they got me started right away ((on July 4th weekend)). They were extremely busy and the phone was ringing like crazy but they still made me feel as if I was a priority. Will be back in 4 weeks for another appointment. read more

I had my first visit today at Distinctive Nails. I was impressed. The owner Lyn, was extremely nice. She got me set up for the pedicure (with a mimosa) while Bri was finishing up with a previous client. Bri did both pedicure and manicure. I think she did a good job. I got gel polish, one finger has a bump at the end of the nail, but overall I am satisfied with the service. Bri was very friendly and talked with me (but not too much) the whole time, especially when I asked questions! I just saw Bri again! I'm glad I went back to her. I'm very happy with my nails! read more

I have been coming here for a couple years now and I drive all the way from the Wescott area to visit. All the employees are amazing. They do quality work for reasonable prices. They have 100s and 100s of colors in dip powder and gel polish. The colors are constantly being refreshed with new ones and ones that run out are replaced. read more

I was super impressed with this salon! It's very clean and nicely appointed. We went with a pretty large group for manicures and pedicures early on a Saturday morning. They were very accommodating with our reservation and had plenty of staff on hand. They had tons of color options in both gel and regular polish. My pedicure was amazing! The chairs were comfy and had lots of massage options. My manicure is holding up really well (I did regular polish). Usually they are already chipping and peeling by now. I don't live in the area, but I highly recommend them! read more

I came here to get a basic mani//pedi ahead of a photo shoot (I'm in nursing school so my nails are rarely done). Super easy to make an appointment the morning of- they got me inn by that afternoon. Check in and wait were minimal! Great selection of colors to choose from. The whole salon is super clean and well kept. Bri did my nails for me- she's mentioned in other reviews as well, so I was excited! She was very sweet, conversational, and very thorough! I am super picky about minor things, and she noticed everything before I did! Super thrilled with the service here, and $45 for a mani/pedi which is very reasonable. Will definitely come back if I have the chance again! read more

I was NOT impressed with Distinctive Nails when me and my friends went this past Friday. First of all, I received a nail technician who kept trying to tell me what length I should have my nails, regardless of what I requested. Even when I told him why I wanted them shorter (my reason was very legitimate because I work in healthcare and can't have super long nails) he wanted to argue with me and tell me no. And then two of my nails came off today, and it's not even been a week since I had them done! Dip powder nails should not just pop off whole in less than one week. read more

This was my third time getting my nails done in the area after moving here. The first two places I went were not good! I'm so thankful I found Distinctive Nails, what a wonderful experience! I had a gel mani and a pedicure, done by different people and both ladies did an excellent job. The atmosphere was good, everyone was very friendly and the quality of the work was excellent. I found my new nail place!!!!!!!! read more

First time customer here last Thursday. I had a gel manicure and a basic pedicure for over $70. The gel on my fingernails is already coming off and it has only been 6 days. Definitely not a good quality job as the tops of the nails weren't "sealed" very well to prevent this. Very disappointed and will not return here again or recommend to anyone else. read more

Never coming back . Pedicure. Cut the nails so short they hurt and cut crooked. Technician couldn't care less about service. Finished in record time and just walked away and got on her cell phone. I didn't know if they had a drying station and wasn't sure she was finished. Also, my friend had polish on her skin around her nails. Very unprofessional. read more

This place was amazing. I've had a hard time finding a good place to get my nails done in the area. This place is pricey (it was $75 for my nails) but it is so worth it. I've been to many other salons in the area. Thaws guys didn't even hesitate when I said I wanted over, and it came out flawlessly. It's perfect. My last ombré at another replace was pretty, but you could see the lines. These nails have no lines, just a flawless ombré. I'm a server and bartender, so can be ruff on my nails, but these nails lasted three weeks with no damage! I HIGHLY recommend them. The entire staff was super friendly too! read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Distinctive Nails. They opened one year ago right down the road from my neighborhood. I was beyond stoked when I found out it was coming to the area. Lyn, Lauren, and her mother own the salon and do an amazing job. The decor is on point. They offer complimentary wine, soda, or water with services. The pedicure chairs are so amazing and the deluxe pedicure is the way to go every single time! I pick a new flavor each time I go! Lauren is my go to person there. She legit gives the most amazing pedicures EVER! I have even sent my mom and husband there and countless friends. I look forward to my visits here. My daughter also likes to go for a pedicure as well. They do have a chairs for kiddos that are super cute. The salon is always clean and they offer TONS of services. Be sure and check this spot out! I do recommend making an appointment so you don't have to wait. They do accept walk-ins though. Thanks ladies for being amazing! read more

I initially chose Distinctive Nails because of their stellar reviews and they did not disappoint. I went with the intention of just getting a gel manicure but Heather, my nail tech told me about the dip powder and how it lasts longer. She was right! My nails looked amazing for almost four weeks! I went back today and saw Heather and she did another amazing job on my manicure. In addition to me loving my nails, the interior is clean and very cute inside and everyone is helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend going to Distinctive Nails and treating yourself! read more
