    I called for a gel mani walk in for 3 pm. I waited a good half hour to be seen, which was somewhat understandable considering I didn't have an appointment. I really liked their selection of gel colors since they had some variety and definitely were up to date (had some Wicked colors). As far as the manicure itself, I'm not sure if I was just unlucky with the nail tech or what, but the shape and polish was messy. I asked for an almond shape, but the edges weren't smooth, which I blame on the fact that her file was thick and probably couldn't get in there. My one nail had a bad smudge that she just let go. I came here because it was in the neighborhood and based off some Facebook groups, it seemed to be a lot of people's go to. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be back, but it's definitely a see for your self kinda place. The girls next to me, their manicures looked so good! I think I just got unlucky. I had to go home and file and clean them up myself.

    Fairmount Nails is my favorite salon in the city - I've been going here for three years and I always leave happy! Anna and her amazing team are all highly skilled and have a high standard for quality. I trusted them with my engagement photo nails, and my wedding / honeymoon nails, and I have continued to come back every month. I've gotten dip manicures for the past year straight and my nails are still very healthy thanks to their careful technique. Highly recommend Fairmount Nails!

    This place is my go to nail salon since moving to philly. I went to a few places in center city that charge anywhere from $45-65 for regular acrylic (more expensive than I'm used to in dc!!!). This place charges $20 normally and they do a PHENOMENAL job. If I was rating this place based on appearance then it definitely would get a 5 star but the service and price can't be beat. They do charge an additional $3 for all services due to covid but even then it's less than half the price of other places. I would definitely call and make an appointment prior to stopping in. Also, keep in mind only two people are working there so if another appointment runs late you might be waiting a few minutes. They take covid seriously and check your temperature when you walk in and make everyone wash their hands. Also, since only two people are working there's usually only 2-3 other people in the salon.

    $45 gel pedicure

    Do not go here! The worst experience I've had at a nail salon in Philly, I called and made an appointment for a gel manicure and gel pedicure, which I was told was $61 for both. Great, I was exited about the price for the both services. This is when things get bad, I start down for my pedicure and to remove my gel paint off my toes the lady proceeded to try to rip off the paint with tweezers, ripping my nail beds and hurting me, instead of drilling or acetoning off the paint. Then I spoke up and asked her to stop doing that as your damaging my nail and hurting me. Once she got to the painting, she painted the nail and the skin under. Pedicure 3/10. I told them I didn't want the manicure anymore because i was so upset about the pedicure job, and she proceeded to charge me $45 for just a pedicure. On the chart they have up on the wall says pedicure- $28 and extra $5 for gel. So where did that $45 come from ? $45 pedicure yeah right. As shown in the picture, trash. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

    Love Love Love coming here for my nails . These ladies are awesome and so accommodating. This is the longest my natural nails have been in my life. I love the protection with the Dip powder. Kait and Anna are so sweet.

    Dip nails

    This nail salon is one of the best I have tried in the city. I now live in Fairmount, and will go here (and gladly wait) for a dip nail manicure or pedicure. I am somewhat tough on my nails and it lasts a month every time. For Valentine's Day, I asked for a pink/red ombré and the store manager replicated the picture I showed her. They came out great! I highly recommend this place!

    Dip powder nails

    Went to Fairmount Nails for the first time and will definitely be back. She really took her time and my nails came out amazing. I paid $38 for dip powder and she removed the old color. They have over 50 colors to choose from!

    Update: This salon continues to amaze me. I received a pedicure recently which sealed the deal. I…read morenever need to find a new nail place! Use the home made soap, you won't regret it! I recently moved to northern libs from center city. The first few months I traveled into center city to get my nails done but yesterday I decided I was over it. I read a million reviews about a ton of places in walking distance and on a lark gave this salon a try (the fact that one of the comments said they had a cat sealed the deal). I honestly could not be happier!!! Everyone has had a bad manicure so I went in skeptical. I'm a creature of habit and I know my old salon is amazing but the ability to walk and not fight traffic was clutch. Anyway this place is phenomenal. They take their time, they are so nice, Lemon (the cat) is absolutely precious. My nails look stunning!! I've received so many compliments today!! I got the powder dip and seriously my nails are flawless. I could not be happier and I'm thrilled to have a new salon to become a regular

    I have had gel manicures and regular pedis a few times here. The last time I went the owner was…read moregiving me a massage while the tech was painting my nails. First, he seemed to be giving a more aggressive massage than usual making it difficult for tech to paint my nails. Then he was massaging my lower back and actually "massaged" my bottom. He has never done this before. It was gross. I tried to move and he moved his hand up. Also, the tech I had -I don't know her name- she is the youngest one -again did a gel manicure that chipped within 2 days. I thought it was a fluke the first time but now I know it is her. She also rushes as though there is another customer waiting when there isn't. I was hoping for a different tech that did a better job on another visit but no such luck. The positive is they use plastic liners for foot tub and give you a cold water bottle.

    I have been putting this off for a while, but I'm sad to say that I won't be going back to Allure…read more I have always been a walk in because I never know if I'll feel well on a given day and have the energy to get my nails done. I probably should have made an appointment for my last few visits, because I somehow always get Coco and she's just not good. She did a dip mani on me a few weeks ago - my first - that was so lumpy and thick that the cuticle edges kept catching on my hair and clothes. When I finally went back to have it removed and get a regular gel manicure instead, she rushed through my pedicure (no spa, just regular). While she was using the callus file she was looking around the salon and not at my heels, which she was sanding down to nothing. Barely any massage. The gel manicure was also rushed. She was using a worn file to shred the thick layers of dip powder - which she'd applied a few weeks ago - until my nail plates felt sore. You can see how the polish was applied. No cleaning up of the skin around my nails and a gap between the polish and cuticle. I didn't love the color (it definitely looked different on the swatch nail) but I just wanted to leave at that point. I walked out feeling like I wasted $40 plus tip. And now my nails are SO THIN. I'm sad because I really like Alice, Lily, June, and the gentleman who does the massages. I've been going here forever. I just can't keep wasting money on bad manicures. I also miss when they'd use a fresh file and buffer on each client, but now they're obviously reusing the ones they have into the ground.
