Mrs. Tina did an amazing job on my pedicure. Great conversation as she delivered wonderful service. Highly recommend. I will be returning.

Service is great, they know exactly what type of nails I want.(AMERICAN). They always ask you are you comfortable. And it doesn't matter wherever you you grocery shopping anywhere cleaks always say are you interested in something extra FIRST NAILS does too. But they are not pushy ask you once and that's it read more

So, I came from out of town for a wedding. After working 6 days of 12h shifts in the days immediately before my trip, I didn't have time to get a manicure needed for the bridal party. I wanted a basic mani with french tips and a color change on my toes. I just needed quick and basic. Calling in, I got pricing from a nice gentleman but when I arrived, my nail tech had a hard time understanding what I was looking for. We sorted it out in the end but she did a mediocre job. It was just ok. Again, I wanted basic but I expected basic done well. Also, the tech spent a lot of the time trying to upsell me with gel polish. I kept declining and then she basically said that if I leave and mess up the color they can't fix it because I didn't get gel. I was annoyed by this and wanted to leave but in my need to get this one thing taken care of and off my plate, I stayed. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience. I would still recommend this place because in observing the work they did with other customers getting more complex services, they really do a good job. If I were to get a full manicure and pedicure or gel, I wouldn't hesitate to visit here. The decor is nice and the space is very clean and organized. They did a great job setting up a serene space in a small plaza. I, personally, just wasn't impressed in this instance. read more

First Nails - Mani and color change on the toes were just ok ‍ - Nail Salons Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

I will never patronize this business again. I asked for the Deluxe Manicure ($27 on menu, includes paraffin, massage, etc.) and Deluxe Pedicure ($50 on the menu, includes massage, paraffin, and hot stones). First off, they started doing my nails while I'm in the pedicure chair. I can't relax and drink my mini bottle of wine. But no big deal. Instead I peruse the salon, noticing the disgusting Saran Wrap on the massage controls. Ewww... My nails were short because I had an issue with the gel last time, so the lady asks if I want to add tips to make them longer. I said yes (knowing it would be an upcharge). Pedicure is complete and I am so eager to get out of the awful chair that felt like I was sitting on a metal bar that I forget I didn't get hot stones. I move to finish the manicure. The woman originally doing my pedicure begins the next step on my nails but abruptly leaves after I point out one of my nails is filed lopsided. Another younger girl comes over and she is nice, so fine. The white gel nails are turning yellow in the UV light, so she does them over and was super nice about it. They still turn but it's not as bad. I was going to get waxing done but couldn't decide on exact services until I determined how my brow wax went, so I went ahead and paid for my manicure and pedicure when asked...$116 rather than $77. Fine, I expected that I would pay more for gel and the tips. Then I'm told my mani is over...no lotion, no massage, no paraffin...nothing. I reminded them that I asked for a Deluxe Manicure. Another woman interjected and said that I didn't pay for it. I explained that I had paid $50 for my manicure, which was more than the deluxe. She said no, I got a full set and gel and that's it. I said I requested both Deluxe Mani/Pedi and that I understood there were up charges, which was fine, but I wanted the deluxe services...and mentioned I didn't get the hot stones either. At this point, the manager starts yelling across the salon at me. That was it for me. I don't mind paying for excellent services but I want to get what I request and will not tolerate being treated like a POS. What an a-hole. read more

Service was great.quality was excellent and the vibe was good atmosphere. Tina was fun to work with. read more

I went here the first time because it was close to our hotel. Now I go back even though it's 10 miles away because I love this salon. Everyone is so nice and very friendly. The salon itself is so clean and beautifully maintained. I got an acrylic fill in and Bo the tech was wonderful. I am looking forward to returning this week! read more

Ms.Tina is the besttttt. I love her life she did so good. The best pedicure experience I ever had. i will always come back to first nails

Vibe is good products are cheap and cause skin damage. Charging extra for a shape that wasn't achieved.

Staff was welcoming. Crystal performed my pedicure and she was great. Very friendly and attentive. I was informed of any up charges for extra services outside of the Deluxe Pedicure package which I appreciated. Rather than getting a surprise at checkout, which is too common at other salons. If I am back in the area I will be returning to see Crystal! read more

Tina was the best, has my feet and legs feeling awesome, what a great place, ( I WILL RETURN!!) THANKS TINA!!

SNS Lasted ONE DAY!!! This place gets one star out. I like that they provide your own nail file for $1 (for those of you who don't know, it is required.) They also use liners for the pedicure bowl. However, their work chips drastically and VERY QUICKLY. First off, it took forever to do my nails. Their SNS powder is very cheap and chunky looking. I wasn't even in a rush but after a while it was exhausting. btw I only wanted SNS nails in one color, nothing special. The next day after being very careful. Two nails chipped. By day three my nails looked terrible! Waste of an experience. They refused to fix them. I wish I could get my money and my too generous $10 tip back. THEY'RE AWEFUL! read more

If I could award a 'zero', I would! Loyal customer of over four years. Enough is enough. The female in charge is spiteful (I have many more stories there!) and terrible at her craft. This last weekend I went in and their staff has been split in two. I had my nails left in acetone over thirty minutes!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone with fingernails knows that is way too long in acetone. I'm tired of their chatting in their foreign language behind my back. Yes, I don't speak your language and you (frankly!) barely speak mine, but i know when I'm being talked about. And I'm over it. You are NOT the only game in town. Whoever the sole male is, never is focused on his client and should focus on simply running the shop. His manicuring skills are subpar. This ship might stand a chance if the two in charge bow out. Otherwise, DO NOT DARKEN THE DOOR CUSTOMERS! Good luck, Leftover Staff! read more

Nasty & Rude & Money Hungry Everytime the polish looks lumpy and the nail tech to messy work on my feet I've been going to first nails for almost 11 yrs I've stopped a couple of times before because either they've used polish that was old and lumped on my nails gel polish that is and when I came back after calling they wanted to charge me again because they're so money hungry my daughter stopped going because a new girl did her nails and she called and was told they couldn't get her in after a week she went in showed them how the tech had messed up and they wanted her to pay you over today I go in an hour early because It takes a while to soak my polish off so I asked for a fan st the counter to be turned in just to be told after Ivy walked right pass me she tells me she has other customers ano its not time for my appointment I then explained to her that I came early to soak my bails plus I live across town and had errands in that side of town and didn't want to drive back home but for her to be so nasty like she has before today I was fed up I spend too much money with them and tip pretty damn good but she's moody and rude and would never snap on any of their white clients so seeing how there are 100 nail shops here in Greensboro I'll be going to anyone of them but will not step foot back in this establishment... read more

I've been going to First Nails for like a year now for pedicures, but today I got the best pedicure ever thanks to Tina. Even though I got the basic $25 pedicure, Tina gave me the best foot massage ever. Even though it's a Saturday and it's starting to pick up, Tina took her time. I'm going to go to Tina from now on when I get pedicures because I honestly don't remember the other ladies doing half the services she provided. Now when it comes to manicures I go somewhere else. I got a fill in once and it cost damn near $60. I understand chrome cost extra, but I didn't know it was gonna be that extra. At the time someone else was paying for my nails so I didn't care. But that's too high. Also I wasn't impressed with the manicure. I think what keeps me coming back to First Nails is the fact that they use liners in their pedicure bowls and that you have your own file (You are supposed to bring it back with you each time and if you don't they will charge you for another). read more

I was brought to Greensboro by my job for training and my hands and feet looked scary. The salon was right next to my hotel and they happen to be open later than any other place in the area. Typically I am extremely picky on where I have my nails done but given the circumstances I wanted to work with the hand I was dealt lol. The place looked clean and this lovely lady greeted me once I came in. The tech who did my pedicure was average. For a deluxe pedicure that cost $45 I expected a little more. She didn't clean into my nails like I perfected and when I asked her to do so she kinda brushed it off. My massage was below average, it felt like she didn't really cared about if it was good or not. But she did a good job making my heals smooth and took care of my hectic cuticles. Now what saved my experience to be above 3 stars is the nail tech who gave me the best manicure I ever had. I'm sad I didn't get her name. She took the time to speak to me and made me enjoy her service. She took the time to care for my tattered nails cause by fake nails. I really wish I could bring his tech to dallas. She would do great there!!!! She also give amazing hand and neck massages. read more

Tina takes her time with the deluxe pedicure and you are in for a treat has with her great strong rub down. She has been here for 5 years and tries to recall her customers by name. Ill be back!! read more

Great service. Nice prices. Fast!!!! And they had a large selection of polish! Not to mention they open at 9 on Saturday

Tina is the only technician that knows what she is doing.. everyone else in there does a craptastic job!! My nails never looked worse and I went back twice within 2 weeks to give them another chance and got a different technician (still not Tina). I had to finally wait and go to another salon to get them redone!!! And they finally look % better!! Needless to say I will not be going back! read more

There's little I love more when I am a new person in a new establishment, and I am told what the process is. They tell me what my options are, they tell me what things cost, they tell me what's involved, and they keep me apprised of the status of things. I LOVE THIS. I was the only person in First Nails (it's brand new), and not a single soul spoke English except the owner, who clearly loved his new business and wanted to make his customers happy and comfortable. He greeted me, made me feel welcome, told me where to go, hung my jacket up for me, told me what pedicure options were available, offered to get me some hot tea, coffee or water, and just made sure I was super-happy. He showed me how to use the massage-y chair, and checked in with both me and my nail tech during the pedicure. Amazing thing is: None of this was pushy, annoying, overbearing or "too much." It was just right. Next time I'm in Greensboro for business, I will most definitely go back. My feet and legs felt and looked great; and as I was leaving, the place filled up with customers. Was very happy to see that. :-) read more

I went to this location on Sunday, Jan. 30th. I needed my eyebrows waxed. I'd never been there before, and I was a walk in. After I signed in I didn't have to wait long before I was taken back. The lady that waxed my eyebrows was BEYOND chatty, and the worst part was the language barrier that totally enabled me from talking back to her. She did a mediocre job on my eyebrows. They weren't bad, but it certainly wasn't anything to write home about. On my way out the door, the man at the counter told me, "Happy Lunar New Year," and gave me a little red envelope that had a dollar bill in it. How quaint! I don't think I'm going to go back, because I really don't want to talk when I go in for my waxing. To each their own. read more

This was a great first experience. Tina gave me a deluxe pedicure and it was awesome. She def has a strong rub and you will feel it the next day. She def takes her time and makes sure you are enjoying every moment of your service. My husband and son accompanied me and they made sure they were comfortable as well. Very welcoming environment! read more

Careful. They quote you a price over the phone and even in person and when it comes time to pay.... The price is a whole different story. They are decent with nails. I've had some places better. They did not clean my cuticles that well as I had to clean a loose hang nail at home. Never had that experience after getting my nails done. Regardless I'm giving a 1 star because it was very blatant how they scammed us for money. I basically got the mani/pedi with gel French tips. I was quoted about $60 over the phone and it came out to $80 +tip. They ran numbers in front of me while explaining discounts, then breaking into Vietnamese so I couldn't understand. And it came out to $80. After awhile I was so frustrated because there was a partial language barrier which I do think they use intentionally. In austin or la. I've paid max about 65 not including tip. My friend only got her pedicure with her mani just cuticles cleaned. She did get some $5 upgrade on her pedi but she paid $62 for just a pedi with cuticles on her hands cleaned! Lol fkn rip off. They knew we were from out of town and knew they could be shady. I will never go there again and frankly, buyer beware. Make sure you understand 100% what your price is before you get services rendered. Don't be fooled by them giving you flattering compliments and being nice. It's all a ploy to get more tips and overcharge. And don't just pretend you understand through their thick accents. I was the fool in the end. read more

I had called early to see how much a mani/pedi was and was told over the phone it would be $35. After getting one there the girl charged me $42 w /o tip. I figured she could take the $7.00 difference. May go back in a month and try again and hope I get billed right. The mani/pedi was enjoyable and she did a good job. read more

Tina haa been my person to go to for the last year and a half. I found this place from my hotel right next to the hyat where i stay for work when i come out to North Carolina. I have lived in California for 20 yrs up and down and now las Vegas Nevada for 5 yrs and there is NO OTHER PLACR LIKE THIS the customer service is out standing..the services are phenomenal..prices are perfect. If anything a steel..i love this place..i look forward to ever moths here..if you ever get a chance you have got to at least experience this place its a day in heaven!!! read more

Went in for a gel manicure. It was very well done (most places still seem to have a hard time getting them right.) They offered me water or tea. Got my arms and back massaged and I consider that bonus... Ended up getting waxing done too. They were professional and friendly. Will go back anytime I'm in the area and need my nails done. read more

I was in the area and needed a mani/pedi. I'm so glad I found this place. I went with the most expensive pedicure ($45). It was the works -- parafin wax treatment, 3 different scrubs/lotions, hot stones and a great overall pedicure. I also got a manicure and, let me tell you, the hand/arm massage was amazing! The enviornment was super relaxing and the staff was really friendly! read more

I give it 4stars. I walked in a got seated immediately. The setting is very comfortable. The people are friendly. I got the SNS and it turned out beautiful. I also got the deluxe pedicure. I most certainly enjoyed it. However I wish I had just got the 26$ pedicure. The people who were in the regular pedi chairs when I was getting my SNS when those people were seated and lucky them they were still in there seat getting worked on when I was drying my toes. (They May have been getting a fancy procedure that takes longer. I just want to add because I do not know what they got done.) The facility is clean and seemed well maintained. I will visit again when I'm back in GSO. read more

I had amazing hot stone pedicure, gel-mani and facial...and waxing! Relaxing atmosphere. Soft music. No chit-chat. Very reasonable prices! Thank you Yelp reviewers for helping me choose this nail salon! I highly recommend this place for a mini spa day treat! read more

Had a terrible experience. The lady who did my pedicure was nice, but I wasn't happy with the end result. The lady who did my nails did an absolute terrible job. The nails were lumpy, uneven and painted terribly and had the audacity to ask for a tip. Will not being going back and I suggest you don't go either! read more

I came on October 15 to get a Pedicure and gel on my nails. the technicians were very rude and they were clearly talking about me in their native language in front on me. I asked to have a different technician do my nails, and the manager was very rude and disrespectful. They're very unprofessional and I would not recommend anyone to spend their money there. Do better. read more

This place is one of the best nail salons that I have been to. The staff take their time to go the extra mile to ensure that everything is done exactly the way their clients like, and they stay up-to-date on the newest products and trends. I have been going to First Nails for some time now and I have never had to experience long waiting periods when I do walk-ins. When I tell them that I am in a hurry, they assign two or more staff members to do my mani/pedi more quickly. The majority of the time, First Nails stays busy, so I am not the only one impressed with their services. I highly recommend them to anyone that is in need of some pampering!! read more

NEVER again!! I've been going here off and on for years. Came in today for a mani/pedi and my eyebrows waxed. Pedi was great. I told the girl doing my eyebrows that I'm trying to grow them out and please don't take anything off the inside. Yeah, she took everything that's grown out for the last year OFF. Not to mention the ends that she took off as well. She said she didn't understand. If you can't understand what a client is telling you I would recommend asking more questions or getting someone that does understand. read more

Best nail salon I've been to in Greensboro! The service is impeccable!

After being very disgruntled with my last nail salon, I found First nails-sooo glad I went!! Happy people here who want to make sure you're happy-suggesting service options in a relaxed non-pushy way, offering tea, and going above and beyond, taking there time-pedi with an exfoliating massage, hot stone massage, and 2-3 lotions as well for no extra charge-I think yes! Definitely going back here from now on! read more

This is the ONLY nail salon in the area that I will go to, EVER. As an industry professional, it is nice to see a nail salon go above and beyond the standards of sanitation. I've visited other nail salons closer to my home, but none will ever compare to the friendliness and great customer service of this location. What's more is that I LOVE that they always keep up with the NEWEST polishes. Every time that OPI comes out with new colors, they are sure to have it! Tony is my favorite when it comes to pedicures! read more

Tina is the absolute BEST!!! She does my Deluxe pedicures and OMG I'm in heaven every time!! . Love the fact that she takes her time.

Was in Greensboro for a swim meet and stopped by this nail salon. The staff was amazing and very friendly! My gel manicure looks amazing. Very pleased with this nail salon. If I came back to Greensboro or loved here this would be the place I go to! read more

Didn't catch my nail techs name because I was in a hurry but she did an amazing job on my 2 week post sunburned legs. Told me how much everything she was doing, how much it costs and offered wine with my pre-work pedi. This place is wonderful! read more
