I was sooooo excited to find Friendly Nails, after a co-worker recommended the salon to me. Moving to a new city and having to find a new nail salon isn't always easy, but the ladies at Friendly Nails are amazing. The price is reasonable, and the service(s) are great! Sue does an amazing job on my nails each time I visit. They have definitely made a customer for life (or at least while I live in Greensboro). read more

I love Ella. She does my nails every 3 weeks and does a excellent job. Today I got a pariffin wax pedicure. It felt so good. They open at 9 am & I am usually in there at 9:30 am. Ella is very friendly & makes suggestion. I highly recommend this shop, read more

Friendly nails does a good job. My favorite thing about them is that they assist you quickly and get you in and out. They take the appropriate time for pedicures but if it's just a color replacement, speed is what they are going for. I wouldn't say they are the friendliest nail salon in town but they get the job done. It always clean which is nice. They are willing to try designs and such as well. read more

Friendly Nails - Dipping powder manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

I was in the neighborhood and had some time to spare and thought I'd treat myself to a relaxing pedicure. I arrived and was immediately assisted and my service began. The gentleman that did my service was pretty cold and unfriendly but that's not a problem since I didn't require a full on talking experience-I just wanted to relax with a good pedicure. I selected my pedicure and the color and immediately felt rushed. I didn't have time to soak which was surprising because it wasn't incredibly busy. There were about 6 people in the salon with about 4-5 techs sitting around waiting for patrons. All in all my pedicure lasted 20 minutes which I felt was extremely short. The tech rushed and I could tell by the end result-my toenail polish (gel) is puckered where it didn't dry sufficiently. I visited in the past and had a not so good experience but decided to give it another try. I won't be back-the customer service is severely lacking. I hope that they can improve because it is an incredibly convenient location. read more

Terrible service first when I walk in the man completely disregarded everything I asked for and told me he's gonna do what he wants for me I asked him to do a gel powder instead he did a polish which I asked him not to do today was my birthday and he was nothing but rude to me disregarded everything I asked of him I spent $65 on the worst nails I have had in a long time my nails look terrible I cannot believe I paid for something like this I've come here before in the past and have never had this bad of service I will never come back here again because of this to be honest I would just like my money back these are the ugliest set of nails I've had in a long time on top of all that I told them I left my wallet in the car and we were barely even started on my nails and they acted like I needed to leave something of value behind to go get my wallet on the nails that hadn't even been started on my hand so I was very offended by that too These people are all rude I will never come back here and I hope to have a chat with the owner here soon within the next week i wouldnt even give 1 start read more

Friendly Nails - My nails look nothing like what I asked him to do he laughed at me and did not care about the horrible quality of work he just painted on me - Nail Salons Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Nice shop, Peaceful and relaxing . Great service, great quality work. I'll definitely visit this shop again!

Go here for professional care and neighborhood feeling. There isn't any thing that they can't do!

All the girls are wonderful! They are doing accommodating!! I have never had a bad manicure or pedicure there! And I have been going for 20+ years! read more

Always love going to Friendly Nails. It's very clean, talented techs and and everyone is very friendly.

Great salon, nice and capable technicians. Always friendly! My nails look great and I'll be back. Highly recommend read more

I've gone here for years, and I havent met a nail tech yet that isn't friendly and remembers you every time you walk in the door. Vivian is the absolute best! Customer service is excellent every time. I have hardly ever had to wait, and it was never long before I was sat in a chair for my service. I very highly recommend Friendly Nails! read more

I ordered a manicu and a natural color. My nails are long and square. They left them horrible, short and rounded. I'm crying

I live close to Shops at Guilford and have been a customer several times. I have never been disappointed with a visit. The salon is very clean and quiet!!! There is TV available to watch but the captions are on instead of blaring shows. The salon had soft music playing which helps with relaxation. I've had pedicure and manicure including hot wax for arthritis. Prices are comparable with other salons I've tried. I always end up back at Friendly Nails for dependable service. read more

Got a pedicure & the scrub was better than the actual paint. There are a lot of inconsistencies when the actual gel polish and it's been 3 days and the GEL polish of one toe has already completely came off. I've never had this happen and definitely feel as if I wasted $55. The service was pretty good but having 4 workers bounce between a store of 15 people seems to leave a lot of room to miss the details and quality you would expect for the price. read more

They are great! Very hygienic, friendly, and knowledgeable. I go every 4-5 weeks. They have very good products.

I have been going to friendly nails for over 3 years now. The customer service is usually very good. My favorite tech is Sue. She went away for 6 weeks and I was forced to use the other techs available. On one visit I brought my 5yo daughter and was charged 28 dollars for her pedicure, which for her is just nail polish applied. I was shocked that they would charge such a ridiculous price. I paid for it and made a mental note to talk to Sue about it. She never charged me more than 5-10 dollars for her pedicure. I went there again before Sue returned. I stayed with my nails wrapped in acetone for over an hour. Customers that came after me were serviced, which was unacceptable. I got tired of waiting, so I removed my own gel polish and cleaned the work station up . I gave the young lady that wrapped my nails a two dollar tip and left. I have never received such disrespectful customer service. I will never have my nails done there again unless Sue or her husband Landon are present. I went down the street and got a manicure and pedicure (color change) for $30 within 30 minutes. read more

I have been a very loyal customer for almost 8yrs. I've been getting the golden pedicure for a while and prior to that I got the herbal pedicure. All staff know me well and I have never had a problem in 8yrs. My daughters also frequently visit. Vivian (owner)puts great effort into quality service and quality products. I tried going somewhere else once, i caught a fungus. I appreciate the cleanliness of friendly nails. Frequently you will see vivian sweep and all the staff maintaining their areas. Tina, Beth, Megan Kelly, and Ella give great pedicures But Tina & Beth are my favorite. Ella is my girl for design. I love her . Beth is the best at coffin nails and Tina and Megan does great manicures. Kelly does a little bit of everything. Everyone is great . My home away from home. If you have sensitive skin and latex allergies be sure to let them know so that they use nitril gloves and request the golden pedicure its perfect for sensitive skin and leaves your skin feeling fantastic. read more

Do not Go here;save your money-- my family & I (three of us) came in for pedicures and we asked them several times "if they provided hot wax with the basic pedicures" - they said "yes" multiple times. My family member and I had our tubs filled with water & they left my family member soaking in water for over 30 min waiting for someone to start his feet. The young lady that was doing my feet broke my toenail because she was being rough and then proceeded to glue my toenail down ‍ she barely scrubbed the dead skin off my heels & after she was done painting and oiling me down with a lot of oil- she walked away & left me for over 20 minutes without informing me that she was "done". So I sat in the pedicure chair with extremely oily legs and feet & asked after 20 min "am I done" & "you all aren't going to use the hot wax on my feet"? They all acted as if they didn't understand what I was saying. Additionally, my other family member that came in with us came in for a manicure. They didn't paint the whole finger nail and it looked like a middle schooler painted her finger nails- the gel was super clumpy- If I could give this place a 0 star I would. My pedi looked terrible and the nail broke after one day. read more

Friendly Nails - Broke nail - Nail Salons Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

I started going here because I lost my car for a bit and continued going because I liked it even though it's about ten dollar more than other areas. I do have short nails because I'm not allowed to wear polish at work so I just keep them short. I decided to get my nails done on Wednesday so that I could look fly for Thanksgiving. At the very beginning, she asked if I wanted her to cut or shape my nails. I told her to make them more square because that's what's I like. She takes a long time to get done because she keeps stopping and making jokes with the lady beside her and she is going in weird steps. When she said ok all done, I said what about the shape and she said well that is already square and I didn't know you wanted more. I told her that I asked at the beginning to not cut to make more square. Like I said, my nails are short but another lady who I believe is in charge actually makes my short nails look how I want them. I'd suggest getting the nicer lady who seems to be in charge and no one else. The lady who did my nails was the younger, bigger girl who has no accent. read more

This salon is everything. I stepped out on a limb and decided to get a gel manicure and my nail tech did such a great job. It was my first time trying this salon out and they did not disappoint. They took their time on my mani and my pedicure. My total came to $53 before tip. I didn't mind the price because of the excellent job that was done. I will be coming back in two weeks to get my nails done again. read more

Friendly Nails - Gel mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

I went in and asked for a manicure with no color. I just wanted my nails shaped up and my cuticles trimmed. The nail tech did not speak enough English, and I'm certain I said "no gel" 10 times. I finally let her put a clear coat on, but I'm pretty sure she said "gel make it look better" as she was putting it on. She didn't put any cuticle oil or lotion on my hands. After I left I looked at my nails and they were awful! They were shaped crooked and didn't look natural at all. I spent the rest of my lunch break reshaping my own nails. Total waste of money! read more

Let me put this simply for you guys... WORST MANICURE EVER. She refused to cut my nails any shorter and said the color I picked looked bad on me and decided to paint them clear instead without asking me. My cuticles are still uncut. My nails are crooked. She didn't lotion my hands. Terrible. read more

Came as a walk in for a basic pedicure first thing in the morning and Vivian greeted me at the door and assisted me right away. She was very pleasant and gentle with the service. The session was approximately 45mins, she was very efficient and did not rush at any point. This was my first time visiting this location and will definitely return again. read more

The atmosphere is nice and tranquil. The service was credible. I gave the salon three stars because their pricing is ridiculous and doesn't compare to the competitive pricing of every other salon in Greensboro. For a basic pedicure without heel treatment is $28.00 I thought this treatment came with the service (shrugs). Also, for a gel polish change, it's $22.00! No pricing list is up anywhere. I wouldn't mind paying the price if I was receiving more for my dollar but I could get the same service at the mall and saved $15.00! If you're looking for reasonable pricing I would suggest another salon. This was my first and last visit. read more

I'm very pleased with my nails and their lightening fast service. I went in with an idea and a photo- they made it happen. Vivian the owner even explained to me what I should look for when having certain services done to ensure I get the best result. I sincerely appreciated that. Now someone might wonder "so why only four stars"? The prices aren't displayed anywhere. That is always a deterrent for me. It is just nails why the secrecy? Because when I went to check out the price tag was a bit shocking mostly because it was unexpected and on the high side. I had an SNS soak off and an overlay with gel paint done -$50. Also the fact that they typically charge extra for longer nails? I have never heard of a place doing that anywhere. Much less being told I wouldn't be charged for it as though it were a perk--cool I guess? I didn't expect to be anyway. Don't get it twisted they truly run a tight ship here but the non transparent pricing and the inability for them to verbally tell me is a big red flag. The obvious preference is for regulars. I may or may not be back but my nails are lovely. read more

I've been going here for a couple of years because they are so friendly. I took my mother for a pedicure this week, for her birthday, and they really treated it like a special occasion. She loved her pedicure. read more

So first off they do great pedis consistently. What is inconsistent is the price. We get handed a flyer that clearly states the pedi special is $40. We check out and get billed $50. One time I was charged $35. I can't get details on the prices when I ask so watch out. I've gone here three time with a different price each time. The last time I got gel polish and my friend got no polish, not even a clear coat, and we were charged the same price ($50) when we were handed the special card for $40 again. Buyer beware! read more

Please save yourself some trouble and DO NOT go to this salon! I went there on Thursday and 4 days later my gel manicure started to chip on my nails! This gel manicure is supposed to last 2-3 weeks and for the price I paid it is absolutely not worth it. This salon is overpriced and has poor quality work. Go somewhere else! read more

Friendly Nails - Example of my chipped gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Service with an attitude. I used to love this place, I have been coming here for the last 3 years & recently they have been so rude. Just got a fill in 1 1/2 days ago ( and paid $22 FOR A FILL IN) & she's mad because I came in for a fix(which I will not pay for!! Fill ins are supposed to last you 2 weeks!) and by the way looks NOTHING like the rest of my nails! After this I will not be coming back. They always try to scam me for my money & it's just ridiculous at this point. Don't go here if you expect a nice relaxing trip to the nail salon! read more

So I will start with location. This shop is near Starbucks which is wonderful. But the customer service is great! Because it was my birthday I was offered a French manicure with no additional charge. I haven't had a French Mani since the early 2000s and feared the looked would be dated but tired it anyway. The tech did a BEAUTIFUL french manicure but I hated it. She tried to reassure me that it was beautiful I was disappointed and told her I would keep it anyway. This awesome woman could tell I wasn't happy and redid my entire manicure in a lovely pink gel color I chose. I wish I had gotten her name but she has braces. It warmed my heart that she was willing to make sure I was happy. I will be back again because of her. read more

The price fluctuates based upon what they think you can pay. They do not have the prices posted. Two different nail techs ... same service ...two different prices. On my third visit, I asked the Manager, if there was a different charge for services based upon the nail tech selected and she responded no. I can't deny they do a good job. You just need to be prepared to pay for it ... whatever they decide to charge from one visit to the next. read more

service needs a lot of improvement. my friend and i went together, when we sat down i picked my color and my friend didn't get to see the samples bc she was taken to another seat. By the time i was done, my friend was almost ready for polish and didn't even get to pick out her color. so i walked to the back and picked up the polish samples and a lady yelled at me bc they were not in their proper spot in the back. i explained to her that no one gave her anything to pick her color. The same lady who yelled at me did my nails and took 10 minutes. i wanted to get a fill in with gel. by the time my friend was done she had finished my nails and another lady's full set. she did not buff my nails down so they are super thick and did not ask me what shape i wanted, if i wanted to cut them down, she also didn't put a top coat on before the gel color. Another thing, i was asking if i needed switch my nails so they would drive evenly and she completely ignored me and stayed scrolling on her phone. i am a waitress..customer service is everything and if you cannot treat people right and make them feel welcomed they will not want to come back. read more
