Came back for them to fix it.
Roxie R.

*DO NOT COME HERE* came here on Tuesday to get a SPA pedicure. I got gel and acrylic on my toes. I asked the male technician with the AirPod in his ear the whole time to do my big toe ombré. His name is " SQUID " . I always get a design on my big toe and he made all the excuses in the world to not do any design on my big toe. I told him that my acrylic was lifting and he just cut the side that was lifted and painted over them saying "he's airing them out". He let me go with bumpy nails and days later I was at work and there was a bubble on my nail. I tipped Squid well even after I left unsatisfied. My nail polish lifted and also did my acrylic in less than a week!!!! Beautiful place but not worth coming here. I'm here now actually getting my toes fixed and I had to explain to 3 people what was wrong when the person I talked to first told me she was going to handle it and let someone know what happened. Well I had to explain myself 3 different times. I will definitely not be coming here anymore. I spend a lot of money on my nails and toes but they will not be getting any money from me.

*** Update! A little less than a week passed and I now am even less impressed than i was initially. As you'll see in the pictures, some of the nail tips have broken off, and the chrome effect and gel has chipped and faded. I dont think I was any more rough on my nails than u usually am. But truthfully I'm not sure. I could have been a little too hard on them. There could have been a difference because it was a different brand of products. Idk. Either way not worth $60. But I will give them another try sometime and see it if it was a fluke, so I wont lower the rating just yet. *** So I broke a nail a few days ago. I have a usual spot that I go to but they were not open and I wanted to get my nails fixed asap. Looking on Yelp, I found that Emma's was both open and incredibly close to where I live. Upon entering, Emma's is very aesthetically pleasing. Its clean, contemporary, and inviting. There's separate sides for hands and feet. I arrived just a few minutes after opening but there was already a good amount of people who had already got there. Still, I only sat for about 5 or so minutes before my name was called and I was sat. That was a huge plus. From what I saw, the staff is majority younger women but I appreciated that the business seemed to maintain professionalism. To get the rest of the pros out of the way, the young woman who did my nails was pretty good. She was attentive and explained everything to me. No complaints at all. Now for the less appealing parts. I wanted to get the chrome that I saw on the pictures and was told that it would be 60. 55 for some combination of An sns base and tips, gel, and chrome. Then 5 for a coffin shape (square is the basic shape). At the end of the day I was satisfied but not impressed so much to make this my new regular spot. I think people should definitely be paid fairly for a service and I mean not to knock anybody's hustle (and im also not one to go solely by price when it comes to my nails) but if I can get it done cheaper elsewhere and it's the same quality??? ‍ I pay 40 at my spot and thats for ombre nails and shape included, I'm also in and out in less than an hour (from start of service to finish, not including wait time ) where as at Emma's I wasnt done for almost 2. Overall, 4 stars. I'd go back here If I were in a pinch again.

Omg I have no words but these nails are gorgeous. price was reasonable I guess ahahah BUT THANKS ANDYYYYYYY.

Beautiful Flower art

I am extremely picky about who does my nails and how. That being said I really LOVE how my nails came out from Emma's nails. I had a tech named Brian and he's definitely my new boo! I requested the ballerina/coffin shape and it was done perfectly. He took perfect care in applying the acrylic, nothing felt rushed. I wanted a little jazz and I let Brian do his thing, instead of giving me nail art he gave me nail MAGIC! I also like that they take cash and cards, they aren't cheap however -- my full set was $73 with two design nails. I think it's worth it tho if ur into nail art or want a place that is invested in nail care as well.

Gel nail set

I got my nails done by Frannie and let me say she did the best job I've ever seen compared to all the times I've got my nails done. From the length and shape sis did her thang I've never seen someone so focused and cared about getting the job done and looking great , she da shizznit definitely recommend her for nails period she's deff the new nail tech now purrrr

Phenomenal job
Ishani M.

First time coming here to get a full set and I must say I'm impressed. Love the selection they have in colors especially matte. Would highly recommend coming here. They do only accept walk ins so be prepared to wait a little. There's a tv and a movie was playing so it made the time fly.

Today was my first time trying this place from a referral and I must say I was impressed and I will be returning. I didn't get the girl name that did my feet but she did a great job. She was very tentative to me asking was the water fine and how does my feet feel and did I like the color that I had chosen. Tony did my nails and I love them. He was so professional and precise..! I have been searching for a little while for a new salon because where I was previously going into they were falling off. The layout is very modern and chic. Everyone that works there is young for the most part so that's a plus when it comes to having all the latest designs. I got a purple gel hydraulic chrome. At first I was hesitant because I don't usually do designed nails but I felt like being on the edge.

I love my nails and pedicure and Noemi did an amazing job. Will definitely come back! They were well worth the money and I've received lots of compliments.

Gel manicure
Amie R.

This place is extremely overpriced for the same stuff you get anywhere else. It's a small space and overcrowded. It's mostly young, urban employees. They're really nice and have a decent amount of colors to choose from in regular nail polish, gel, and dip colors. The pedicure area is on the other side of the wall, but they're not massage chairs. They have only a chair for waxing by the pedicure chairs and the wax doesn't even take off the hair from your skin that well. There is no pricing list anywhere inside. They tell you paying cash lowers the price a little more with a "cash special." There's an ATM inside. I wouldn't recommend this place due to the pricing. They charged me $76 for a regular pedicure, gel manicure and eyebrow touch up wax. WAY TOO MUCH!

This place was nice got pedicure right away but the lady who did my toes did a terrible job i still have my old nail polish still on the sides of my toes i also had gotten a french tip that looks like trash didn't notice until i left yesterday nail polish isn't fully painted on my toes very disappointed paying 34 for a shit pedicure. On the other hand got a full set the girl who did them did a great job but didn't paint sides of my nails. At this point i would like a complimentary pedicure!

Nice work
Takiema S.

Hands down the friendliest salon I have visited. Especially for my first visit. As u can tell they do GREAT WORK!! Thanks Tommy

Lannie L.

Found this salon on Yelp after I just moved here. Took everyone's advice and asked for Andy. Preface: I am rediculously and annoyingly picky with my acrylic nails. Especially the paint job. I expect the powder to lay thinly over my natural nails and even. Tips straight across and the sides filed even or my type-A personality would pick at it. I wouldn't let Andy apply gel the first time because I'm always naturally afraid that if I don't like the paint job, I can't just take it off at home. He insisted that he's different and I give it a shot. I warned him that if make it take it off and start over if I didn't like it. He did an absolutely amazing job. Please see the picture below- sides, edges are 100% perfect. No streaks in the paint, especially since light milky colors are the most difficult to perfect. I travel half an hour from Center City to go here (I've tried 10+ salons in Center City and they're all mediocre). Seriously, go to Emma's- ask for Andy (bald headed Andy since there's two) and you won't be disappointed. I trust him enough to even let him pick this color before even looking at it. And that says a lot for a control freak like myself.

Maris F.

Emma's is a fantastic nail and pedicure location. Yes, they're often crowded, but that's because the technicians are professional and talented! And the owner, Andy, who also does nails, is a cool guy. They always have the very latest and up to the minute colors and techniques, so your nails on your hands and feet will always be poppin'. I always get compliments on my gel refill. ALWAYS. I've also referred two friends there and they love going there now! If you don't like to wait, they take appointments Monday through Wednesday. Otherwise, you may have a bit of a wait, especially on Saturday and at holidays. But you won't be disappointed. Check them out when you have time.

How are they with eyebrows I'm very picky when it comes to my eyebrows?

I believe they use the new painless wax and it's not good at all. The chair they use is next to the pedicure chairs out in the open.

What are the prices like here?

Kind of expensive

DO NOT RECOMMEND JULIE IS HORRIBLE AND A BULLY!!!!! I came here to get my nails done before I went…read moreon a trip in Cali and the lady Julie was very rough with my nails. I showed her a picture of coffin nails with a pink tip on them and she decides to just ignore what I show her and keep my nails almond when I specifically told her I wanted the new shape. I did not want to ask her to reshape them, considering she was already being passive aggressive towards me when I asked her if she could do the nails, I showed her in the picture it felt like she didn't want to even do them at all. Her attitude was disgusting and she'll make you feel like you're in the wrong for asking for what you want. She finished doing my nails and I left somewhat happy because I thought they were pretty enough but when I showed up to work, everyone told me to go back and get them redone because I couldn't see the scuff mark she left on my tips and my nails were already scratched up, forming these weird bubbles at the top. So I came back the next day to ask her to just redo them and to shape them how I wanted her to shape the mind you she charged me $50 for short almond nails with a white tip on them and I even tipped $10 for them. She proceeded to yell at me saying none of her customers ever came back to her, asking her to redo nails and that I'm the first one as she was just so out of proportion acting crazy yelling at me in front of others and even when I was the last one in the shop basically telling me that there's nothing wrong with clearly there was even the first lady when I walked in there she saw there was something wrong with my nails and called her over. Even though Julie had no clients from 5 to 7 PM. She had an attitude with me when she should be grateful. I even came to see someone so terrible as a nail artist if that's what she wants to call herself. The entire time when she was doing my nails, she was digging into my skin. She even left me on my skin. She was even filing my nails so hard and this was because she was angry and she didn't treat me that way yesterday. It hurt to the point where I wanted to cry also the entire time she was speaking to the other woman who has some sort of skin problem. I don't know her name, but I'm gonna call her out because she was sitting there half the time that I was getting my nails done and sure they were talking about me. At the end, she has the audacity to ask me to give her five more dollars because she made my nails shorter. AFTER SHE ASKED ME THIS HER FRIEND STARTED LAUGHING ON SOME BULLY BEHAVIOR.! I should've just not gave her the five dollars and asked her to take it out of her tip from them day before because she was nowhere near deserving of even getting a tip. IT TOOK HER CLOSE TO AN HOUR TO JUST DO FRENCH TIPS SHE CANNOT DO FRENCH TIPS JUST ADMIT THAT YOU CANT AND DONT REDO THEM FIVE TIMES OVER ON A SINGLE NAIL!!! Do not go to Julie if you want someone who is half blind to do your nails I feel bad for those who are her clients. They are probably older age and don't even notice the mistake she makes and she makes everything such a pain to just fix. If you can't be criticized, honestly, you shouldn't even be working in a nail salon. You should be somewhere practicing how to do nails because I have never been more disgusted with somebody who can't do nails and complains when someone comes back to get the nails redone because you've never learned to properly do nails. Julie do better and do us all a favor and get off that chair and go back to nail school. One more thing to add, she had the audacity to tell me that my nails were messed up already before I even came there which defeats the purpose of me even coming to you to fix my nails because if you claim you're so good at what you did on my nails The day before then why couldn't you even fix what I brought you? You know you're in the wrong Julie do not go to her if you want your nails to look like somebody did them while blindfolded And to torture your nails even more by digging into your skin just because she's mad. Get some new glasses, Julie and maybe be considering renewing your license being a nail tech.
