I wasted 4 hours of my only day off bc this place told me they could do a design for 55 dollars. I showed a simpler set and I left paying the same amount of money as if I had designs on every nail. what I asked for what I got and what I had to pay MORE for will be attached. I get polish only. not to mention it is 2 DAYS after and my nail polish is already coming off, GEL?!? read more

!!!Terrible Experience - BUYER BEWARE!!! Avoid This Salon. !!! I recently visited this nail salon with my daughter for what was supposed to be a particular day, but it turned into a complete disappointment. Our pedicures and her manicure could have been done better, with uneven nails, streaky polish on our skin around the nail, and a generally sloppy finish. When I requested a refund, the owner refused, insisting on fixing them instead. However, I explained that the first impression was already ruined, and we were unwilling to give them a second chance. Manicures and pedicures are expensive, and we expected a professional experience, especially on a day that was meant to be special. Instead, we left feeling regret and frustration. To add insult to injury, the salon was dirty and unsanitary. While we were sitting under the dryer, an employee pulled out a vacuum and started vacuuming around our feet and the salon. When I caught his eye, I noticed his pupils were dilated, and he had a permanent grin on his face--he was clearly under the influence of something, a shocking and unprofessional behavior. The lack of concern for customers and the poor service were appalling. It's clear this salon is struggling, but that doesn't excuse the complete disregard for customer satisfaction or cleanliness. I'm sharing my experience in the hope that others won't make the same mistake we did. Save your money and go elsewhere, where your well-being is valued. read more

This place is filthy! The tools that are required to be one time use are reused. Also, they charge whatever they want regardless of what is advertised. For example, I got a full oval set SHORT. It was advertised as $50. When I paid suddenly it was $63 for the length and shape. Seriously? Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else read more

This place is absolutely horrible. It's completely filthy everywhere, I have so many cuts on my fingers. After my pedi he started my manicure and used an air compressor to blow the dust off himself - ALL OVER MY WET nail polish on my toes! My gel on my fingers immediately started breaking and peeling. I asked him to cut them shorter and he acted like he cut them but literally just maybe snipped the edge off. I will never come here again. Also, another employee was running through the salon, slammed into my chair sent me forward and never stopped to check on me or apologize. read more

Gel Nail is the salon I typically prefer when I'm looking for a walk-in nail service in the Youngstown area. The majority of the time I go to this salon, I walk out with a beautiful set of nails. I will say that there are times that a newer tech will come in and the experience will vary. Gel Nail will touch up chips if they occur within a few days of the service, so I keep that in mind. Generally the new techs improve quickly at this location and the second or third time I've gotten a service, I haven't had any issues. As a customer I'd be mindful of writing off a tech because of one bad experience during their first month or two working. Typically I see 2-3 of the same staff there each time that have been there for years and they all have done consistent work. read more

The nails i get done here last longer than any other salon i've tired in the area, so the extra $5 or so is definitely worth it for me. when one of my nails chipped after a night of bowling, they fixed it for free with no questions asked. i highly recommend this place!!! read more

Way overpriced for the quality. Always crowded. I think they did an average job for luxury prices

Several people have been getting funguses at this salon. DO NOT GO!!!!!!! Plus the owner is so rude. Do not give your money to this type of business. We did not know about the fungus outbreak until afternoon read more

Vicky is amazing! Got a full set for homecoming at $55 and they are gorgeous! Highly recommend! They don't take appointments but there's not a long wait. read more

I usually go to their other location, Sun Nail, but the last several times I've gone I've been sent to Gel Nail instead because they couldn't fit me in. Last week I was actually able to get into the Sun Nail location. Unfortunately for me, my acrylic w/gel manicure was done by a girl who was there on her first day. She said she had over a year experience, so I was fine with that. Unfortunately, she did a terrible job. They were different sizes and shapes and the depth of the color varied. I didn't complain because it was her first day and I tipped her well. Today is literally one week since I had them done and one of the nails split right in half. I didn't hit it on anything. I woke up, and half of it was gone. I stopped there and they didn't have time to help me. I stopped at the other location and was told it would be a few minutes. After waiting 20, I left. When I got my nails done for my wedding and requested a French manicure, the owner insisted on doing an ombre with powder instead, telling me that French was old. They looked awful and I got them re-done the following week because I couldn't stand looking at them. They are in my wedding photos, though. So I'll always have that memory. I'm over this place. read more

Went to get a Nail fixed. The man was very rude and dismissive. He refused to service me. He said we do not do that here. Poor service and not friendly. read more

I was in town visiting my parents and my mother and I decided to get a gel manicure and pedi done at this salon. We told them that we wanted the basic mani/pedi (as defined by the price list), but they ended up upgrading us. We didn't realize this until we were checking out and the prices were much higher than what they originally quoted. The technicians did not speak much English, or at least they did not seem to. Our two technicians chatted with each other in their own language the entire time and basically ignored my mother and me. This happens to some extent in many nail salons, but it was much worse here than what I've experienced elsewhere. It was a bit of a turnoff. My gel manicure didn't even last a week before chipping. If I lived in Ohio, I would have gone back and requested a refund. The quality of service was not worth the price. read more

Stopped in here for the first time last Friday 10/5. I usually go to a couple of other places in Boardman but this was convenient at the time. Service itself was fine. HOWEVER, when you pay $90 for a gel manicure and regular pedicure you expect it to last. Two of my toenails, that normally last 4-6 weeks in between pedicures, have severely chipped polish after 4 days. My gel fingernails, that usually last 3 weeks, have all peeled off and/or chipped after 4 days. Nothing like getting your nails done before a long awaited vacation only to have to spend another $50 to go elsewhere to get them redone! Avoid this place at all costs. read more

I was in town for only the weekend and was ready to get my nails done. I am used to the gel polish and this is not the service they provide. I do not have fake nails and I had to tell them twice that I did not want them. After I told him that I wanted my nails even with my fingertip (I can't really be mad because no one seems to understand what I mean by this) and I ended up with no length to my nails whatsoever. He trimmed one and ask what I thought and I said it was good...THEN HE CLIPPED IT MORE!! AHH! They will grow it's not the end of the world. The next step is when I realized I wasn't getting the same process as I was used to. It's still gel nails but this was some serious stuff. I wasn't warned that this stuff burns your nails. They put the gel on your nails and it had to cure in the heat lamps...that is the part that burns. No warning so here it is...take your fingers out and blow on them to make them feel better. When I complained about the burning I was told, "burning is normal" No. Not in any situation is burning ever normal. They claim that this process lasts even longer. Time will tell...not sure it's worth the pain or price ($40). The price didn't include anything typically related to a manicure like trimming cuticles and lotion. Nails only. They were friendly enough but I've had better services...elsewhere. read more

Worst place I have EVER been. I called ahead and asked if they had available walk ins .. I was told yes and walked over (I was next door getting my hair done). I was sat by a man who began my nails. After applying one plastic tip, he gets up and leaves. His shift was over. A new lady comes and sits down, picking up where he left off. She refuses to even ATTEMPT a simply French tip on stiletto nails. She spoke to me like I was a moron and continuously tried to talk me out of getting the acrylic nails (I assume because they are more work on her part). She finished applying the plastic tips and then informs me that her next appointment is here and she'll finish mine after hers. I've been sitting in this waiting chair with stupid plastic tips glued to my nails for 25 minutes. I also informed them when I came in that I have a wedding to go to. So rude, and unaccommodating. Didn't care about their customers at ALL. Only go here if you want to leave angry and unhappy. read more

My last pedicure was done at gel nail, but I had an open sore on my foot and couldn't have pedicure. I went in to get a Polish change. I was told very rudely by the male ring leader that he wouldn't do only Polish change. I explained I couldn't do full pedicure because of a sore on my foot. He said rudely, " Our policy"! And walk rudely away. I went down the plaza to another nail shop who was happy to do it. Not happy! read more

I went for a pedicure and It was horrible! I was done in 15 minutes ! My nails looked uneven! The guy never asked if I liked my nails ! I walked out unhappy because I did not have energy to argue ! read more

so i used to swear by this place. They say they are using gel instead of acrylic powder to explain why they are charging you more than most salons. Let me tell you--that is LIE. Which still wouldn't even be a problem bc their nails last longer than most salons in the area. BUT--they price gauge, nothing is listed and the minute they think you don't care about how much you spend on nails or if you overtime..like i do bc i'm in the hospitality industry. They start to take advantage and when you question it, they will literally do a hack job in your nails and basically tell you to fuck off and go somewhere else bc they know they are one of the busiest nail salons. This reputable place turned into a money hungry, no hospitality trash-hole. Thanks but i'll find another tech and guarantee they follow state board health on switch emery board or drills after you cut and get blood from someone on them-unlike this place. So,done. Every time i try to go back it's literally worse and worse. read more

I'm from out of town, and was very nervous when looking for a nail salon to trust. I found this place based on reviews and I'm really happy I came here! I requested a guy but I forget his name but he did amazing. My gel acrylic nails looked exactly how I wanted them & it's been a week no peeling, no lifting or anything. Very happy! read more

I paid a lot for a gel manicure here. 50 for a gel manicure with design. Only to have the topcoat start peeling the day after I had them done. I have had many gel manicures done over the years and I have never had it start to come off the day after. Horrible. I'm so disappointed. read more

Went in just for a polish change. They to me they were too busy. (With 2 empty chairs) went down the street where they were MORE THAN HAPPY to have my business. EXTREMELY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. WILL NEVER GO BACK read more

Went in for pedicure. They put me in water and had me wait for 35 min until tech started on me. By the time the tech started on me I was uncomfortable from the water turning cold from waiting so long. He rushed thru the whole thing. Ended up cutting me as he rushed during filing. Painful and not relaxing. Also, much more expensive than other nail salons. Won't be back. read more

I was in town visiting my family and went here for a gel manicure and pedicure. I am the first to admit I tend to be picky when it comes to nail salons, and when the place I originally wanted to go was booked up, the girls working there suggested I try here even though it was a drive for me. I was a walk-in and was quickly accommodated. Excellent, quick service. It was clean. The employees were friendly and made sure I was satisfied before I left. My gel lasted 3 weeks and probably would've lasted longer but I was ready for a new color. I would definitely go back if I'm in the area and in need of a gel mani/pedi. read more

My daughter & I went here on a Friday and definitely will not return. Got the gel for the the manicure and the pedicure was regular polish. Didn't impressed as being real clean. The water for our feet wasn't very warm and they almost filled it to overflowing. They upgraded our service so we each paid about $30 more than we anticipated. Daughters manicure didn't last a week. read more

The girl that did my mani/ pedi was so nice & good! The only complaint is the price was so high for what you get... an acrylic overlay should NOT be $45 without tips or anything, I've never paid more than $25 for that. It takes minutes to do. read more

Would 10/10 recommend gel nails!! My sister and I just started going there and we will definitely be back!!

The shop was clean and the staff polite the price was reasonable about 45.00 .. however I liked the work that was done but the next morning I had air bubbles under 3 of my nails they didn't last the week and it took almost 2 hrs to finish the work so they shouldn't of come off.. read more

I won't be going back. I liked sun nails so I went back but they couldn't fit me in. They sent me to gel nails and the lady at the front desk was so nice! Then I went to the lady who was gonna do my nails and she was so mean to me. And my sister was getting her nails done too and they cut, yes they CUT my sister's finger! Then I got French nails and there was polish all over my nail. I will not be going back but I didn't hate it. I do think you should try it if you can't get in anywhere else. read more

I have been a walk in twice and I have had a terrific gel nail manicure that lasts for 3 weeks each time. Charlie is the best!! The shop is clean and friendly. I highly recommend. read more

Gel Nail - Ask for Charlie! - Nail Salons Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

I am beyond disappointed and honestly pissed at this point. I came in the day before Thanksgiving to get my nails done for a wedding that I WAS IN. I asked for the gel dip/ manicure. First of all, she did nothing with my cuticles. They are overgrown, the nails look like they are 3 weeks old. It looks like stick on nails. I had to work on Thanksgiving and drive straight to Indiana that Friday. So there was no possible way I could redo my nails. The wedding was Saturday morning. I spent the entire day driving on Friday. I called the owner asking for a refund, and he wouldn't do it. I was told to come back on Friday, but explained my situation. He told me to come back on Monday, which totally defeats the purpose of me getting my nails done in the first place. Within a few hours of work on Thursday, they were already chipping. I've never done a bad review but felt this was needed. I'm in the service industry and I know how terrible people can be. But I also work very hard for my money and just wasted $43 on the worst manicure I've ever seen in my life. Hopefully the wedding photographer didn't get any shots of my hands. read more

Was willing and did wait for over an hour to get a fill and my little daughters nails painted; however, after an hour when I was about to be seated with Tim, the owner, he went away for a few moments. Many people had come in and he had told them he did not have time to take them. When he walked away, my eight-year-old started to cry because I was getting my nails done first so I politely asked him if the two of us could still get our nails done and he yelled across the salon about having appointments before me. I said I was absolutely fine with that but would have appreciated knowing that an hour prior when we asked for a fill and paint when we signed up, but if he was too busy we could run up the road. He responded very rudely and in an irritated voice and said "then go up the road." This was not the first time I have been there and I have sent more than a few people to him because I do get people asking me where I get my nails done. I have always said nice things about the way he does nails; however, I would never recommend this place for his lack of respect for his customer, for his rude behavior, for his lack of integrity in front of a child as well, and I don't know if he is understaffed or overworked, but at any rate, I was completely disappointed in his behavior. What an AWFUL experience. read more

i have nothing against this business, they did a very good job on my nails but i was left with several cuts on my fingers from them. i also asked for one thing and they told me no and did something completely different. read more

No waiting. Everyone super nice but nail tech was very rough. Causing 3 sores that were painful for a week. And super expensive. $75 for toe nail gel polish change and gel nail fill with gel polish. Great look but like I said rough nail tech read more

Definitely not worth $35 for gel manicure. After a 30 second nail soak in plain water and being told color polish I wanted was "discontinued" (remove sample from display then please!!!) I had 4 of my fingers bleeding from cuticles being cut. Felt as though manicure was rushed. Won't be returning. Kathy read more

terrible nails, filed off sides after painting them which left them chipped and able to see the white underneath, see through color, terrible shape and bumpy. definitely not worth $50 for plain nails (which is not what i planned on getting he wouldn't do the holographic) and i will never be going back. online it said $27 and they ended up being more. some employees are nice but some are un enjoyable. read more
