I needed a pedicure last minute for an event later that evening. I called and asked if they could accommodate me and they said they could. I went right away and sure enough they were able to see me immediately. They were not too busy for a Friday afternoon and the person who did my pedi was very nice. My pedicure came out great. I was able to enjoy a glass of wine glass of wine with my service. The place is not new or fancy, but was clean. I would return. read more

I came here while in the area to have my sns overlay removed and a natural manicure completed. The service was great here. All of the staff were warm, friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed a glass of Cabernet wine as my sns soaked off. The spa was clean and decorated nicely. I am pleased with my experience. I look forward to returning for a much needed pedicure. It's always good to switch up spas and venture out of my normal beating paths. read more

Terrible service, called the store previously before going and he said my total would be $55 for what I wanted on my toes, come to the store I was charged $75. Lady was talking about the client next to me, They also up charged me on my nails and when I mentioned the website total said $65 for nails she said "website outdated"? 4 nails have also popped off within a week and a half. A women also came in while I was getting my nails done and said her polish was coming off after a day. DO NOT COME HERE! read more

Great experience. I had my nails done there and I'm late in putting up my review and pictures. I get an almond shape with hard gel. The shape was amazing and the person doing my nails was fast and paid attention to details. When I mentioned one of the nails was slightly different from the rest she was quick to correct. I've gone to other places and this is my favorite. I've over paid at other nails salons to not get the quality of work I get here. They paint the nails right, clean up the nails and cuticle, there's no weird uneven or patchy work, and they look presentable and clean at the end. read more

I had really high hopes after reading the reviews, but left pretty disappointed. I made an appointment for a pedicure for my husband and a dip manicure for myself at 11am. They didn't get started on us until 11:30, which is what it is, I understand they are busy, but we were there on our lunch breaks and only had an hour. I had picked out a pretty blue color for my nails, and the tech brought over a color that looked pretty light. I know sometimes with dip it can get darker after you do a few coats, so I trusted the tech that is was correct. Well, it was not. I got white nails and was told that "the color on the swatches is darker because it is on tips vs my natural nails" ??? It has never been a completely different color. They did not give me the opportunity to get the color I had asked for, and I told them three times I wanted blue- not white. But he told me that was the color I picked. Overall, it took me an hour and a half for my service as I guess they were short staffed. The staff who was there were criticizing walk-in's too, saying that people need to make appointments if they were in a rush (which we did, and still had to wait 30 minutes). At the end, they asked me if I liked the color, which I told them no- it was not the color I had asked for (after saying multiple times I had picked a blue color) but I didn't have time for them to change it. No apologies or anything for the major discrepancy. They also missed putting color on the edge of my nail, so it is bare where they cut and filed it down. At the end of the day, it isn't a huge deal. But if I am paying $60+ for my nails, I want the color that I picked out, and don't want to be misled that all the color swatches are wrong- I doubt anyone else has had that experience. Two stars because my husband said his pedicure was great, but I would steer clear from this place for your nails, or at least ensure the color you pick is correct! read more

I called and booked two mani appointments the day before and when we arrived we were greeted promptly and pleasantly. Both of our technicians took great care on trimming our nails, cuticles and getting them ready for the polish. Then they also took great care polishing and making our nails look fabulous. The salon is peaceful, clean and well lighted. The selection of colors is immense. The technicians were kind and cheerful and we exchanged pleasantries. All in all a 5 star experience.

Still love this place and they've recently updates the decor. It's best to call ahead because they're a small business and very busy. Kelsey is still my favorite. I had a pedicure with Anna and it was standard basic procedure. I felt relaxed but it's not something I splurge on often so I don't have a great basis for comparison. Covid procedures still in place are the techs have a partition and wear masks. There's hand sanitizer by the door. Otherwise, it's pretty relaxed. read more

It's in an old, not fancy shopping plaza and does not look like much from outside, but when you go in it's really nice, clean, and friendly. They are very sweet and accommodating of last minute appointments. They don't rush and give a good quality service, pedicure chairs are good. I mostly go for the pedicures and they have a nice assortment of services you can choose from. Laura is my personal toe therapist and is very skilled if you have ingrown toenail issues!

So Andy did a good job on my nails. He definitely gets 5 stars. But the chaotic story is, I came in on Monday and a woman, I don't know her name, did a terrible job on my nails. She tried to correct the mistakes I pointed out and said she didn't mind fixing them (while also calling me picky), but after a dozen times asking her to fix things I just accepted it and left with CHUNKY, UNEVEN nails all pointing different ways and with weird LINES on the ends. I came back, calmly and politely asking for them to just take them off and get a refund. The owner was upset and reluctant, understandably, but was willing to give the refund. The lady who did the bad nails was also in agreement about the refund, but not without being frantic and rude beyond belief. She denied that there was anything wrong with the nails. Then Andy pulled me from that chaos, had me sit down and fixed my nails to my liking. He saw all the mistakes and after each reshaping he asked if I was happy with it. Now here's the part I'm still salty about. On the first day I asked the lady who did the bad nails how much I'm supposed to tip (I don't get my nails done often) and she said... I kid you not... $20... so I gave her that, I don't even know why I gave her a tip at all. When I came back to get my nails fixed I let her keep it, whatever, and after learning that $10 is a more reasonable tip I gave that to Andy. Thank you Andy for your kindness and talent. My nails are super cute and I will show them to all my friends. read more

When arriving my expectations weren't high as the Shopping Center needs a refresh and the salon isn't glamorous but the staff is so lovely. This is my second time in - my first was a pedicure which was great but the polish didn't hold up well. Not a deal breaker, a polish change is easy. Today I popped in for a gel nail polish change - the tech went over and beyond - trimmed, shaped my nails and even cut a few of my hangnails. The attention to detail from start to finish was perfectly done. Can't wait for my next visit. read more

I've been coming here for the past 6 years and I finally said enough. This place is convenient and they take walk-ins, but that's where the good ends. The vibe is enough to ruin your day. Not a great strip mall. Too much talking in-between the nail technicians = not peaceful and obtrusive questions from the nail techs working on me on multiple occasions. Most recently the quality of their nail polishes have felt old and gooey causing imperfections to the final product. I'm going to stop being too lazy to make an apmt and go elsewhere. read more

My first time here--came with my friend for her wedding nails! Tan was my technician. He did a great job. Very meticulous and lots of attention to detail. My friend felt the same way about her technician. They did a great job at keeping things clean and spaced out with regards to Covid, which I really appreciated. Also, it didn't smell like straight chemicals, which made the whole experience much more relaxing for me. The only downside was that I got the deluxe pedicure and my friend got the classic, and I didn't notice a significant difference between my pedicure and hers.

I just moved to the area about 1 1/2months ago. I tried 2 nail salons and neither met my satisfaction. The first nail tech was outright rude and applied the polish on so thick I had to go somewhere else to have the polish changed and applied correctly. The second salon, well the nail tech was not as rude but our personalities did not jive and she too applied the polish on way to thick after I asked to please apply thin coats. I came to Fantasy Nails to have the polish corrected and then came back again for a manicure and pedicure. Ivy was amazing! The rest of the staff as well were amazing. They were all friendly and everyone entering the shop was greeted with a friendly and warm welcome. Ivy trimmed down my nails and cleaned up my cuticles just has I requested. She is talented and created a beautiful design on my nails and did not apply the polish on to thick. The pedicure was just as amazing. I loved the service so much I purchased a gift card for my husband. I too will be going back. Kudos to you Ivy you have won my business! read more

She even styled it and it looks really great! Great conversation and fantastic hair...what more can you ask for? I'm fairly new to Raleigh and had not been to a salon yet and in one shot I found my go-to place! I'll be coming here for all of my services! I highly recommend!

This was my 10th visit at this nail salon. I've always had excellent pedicures here from the…read moreclassic to the lavender, all of the nail technicians have been wonderful. I'm so disappointed to say that today I've experienced the worst pedicure of my life. I had a 4:00pm appointment that I booked online. The technician that I had was very young, kept calling me "bro", and was literally playing a video game on his phone while he was giving me a pedicure! I had yellow polish on my toes from the last pedicure I had here. The technician was scrubbing them with a tool and I told him that it was regular polish, not shellac. He said I know, and kept going over them with this metal tool, which was a little painful. Then he cut my toenails with the polish still on, removed the polish, and barely filed my toenails. He tried scrubbing my feet awkwardly, which was very ticklish so he just stopped. Then he took some water out of the foot bath and put it all over my legs and rubbed them down with a scrub and then removed it. I received no lotion, and then he placed hot towels on each of my feet. The technician said that something bit him and went into the back room for a while. When he returned he was playing the game on his phone. I felt like I was in a Seinfeld episode. There were no other customers or employees working when I received my pedicure which was strange because they are usually busy and it was only 4:00. When the nail tech painted my toenails it was very rushed, he barely let the base coat dry and he began applying the polish. I've included pictures so you can see the terrible paint job, my dry feet and yellow nail polish still visible from my last appointment. I also have a rash from the aggressive scrubbing. I let the polish dry under one of the dryers but it was hard to see the details due to dim lighting. When I got out to my car in the sun I was very disappointed. My feet were much better off BEFORE this pedicure.

My husband and I were in Raleigh and were trying to find a great nail salon to go and relax and not feel rushed. We have a certain place back home where we go on a regular basis so I am picky. I'm huge on reviews when it comes to trying somewhere new. So glad others had reviewed this nail salon! Kelsey and Nina were awesome. The salon was spotless, I couldn't get over how clean it was. The prices were just right. If we are in town again and need a manicure and pedicure we will definitely choose them!! read more

She yanked out my toe separators with no concern for wet polish. - I felt oddly rushed, as if they were trying to get rid of me quickly. They were not closing. There were 3 customers in the salon. -I was charged for a gel pedicure even though I told them while booking the appointment I didn't want gel, and repeated it twice before being seated. WTF?
