While the salon is super nice I don't feel like this is anything special. I came in about 2 weeks ago to get my nails done (tip+ acrylic and gel). While getting them done the nail tech cut me multiple times, and when I brought this to his attention he explained to me that it was "part of the process". One day later, I broke my nail I came in and they fixed it for free which was super nice. Then literally one day after that my other nail just fell off. I am starting to think that my nails weren't done correctly. The nails came out pretty but for what I paid I don't feel like they should be falling off.... read more

My daughters and I were pressed for time before an event. The staff were accommodating and did a good job quickly for us.

Came in with 4 for mani and pedi. One of us couldn't get the design of a simple flower because the person they got didn't know how and offered a sticker option instead. One of us wanted a soft blue with chrome but it was more of a white. One of us got an hombre design based on a pic and it didn't come out close. Yes something was said about not being as dark or vibrant but it was still cute. Overall it was a subpar experience for all of us. Then the next day one of the hombre nails peeled and two were chipped. Just not worth. read more

I used to rave about this place. Not anymore. They've gotten too many "awards" for their own good and customer service has gone down hill. I came in for a walk in appointment - I was told it would be a few minutes. 30 minutes later I hadn't been seen or even updated. All the while the manager played in his phone and several employees were chitchatting in the back. You provide a service. In the midst of a recession that May be starting. Customer service is what's going to keep your business afloat. Per Yelp, I've checked in and spent money here 75 times. I know there are times I didn't check in. You just lost a customer of 10 years. I'll support a business that actually wants my money. read more

I had a great experience here. I highly recommend. The staff was friendly, the salon was clean, and my nails turned out beautiful. I would definitely be coming back. The location is really nice, too. Prices are reasonable. Just like anywhere in Homewood, parking can be a little bit of a challenge. We found parking in an alley way, where the Homewood Police Dept. used to be. There was no time limit. read more

A few months ago, I would have given this place rave reviews. Staff was very friendly, and I thought the work was excellent. After some recent experiences, I'm not sure if I'll be back. The last time I was there, my tech let me sit with foils on my nails for 30+ minutes while he took a break. This was especially frustrating, given that I had limited time. He previously told me that the color I chose might appear slightly different, and that if I did not like it, he would add some gel polish to balance it out. He finished up, and did not ask if I liked the end result -- just said "thank you" and quickly brought me up to the counter. While the end result looked fine, the color was wildly different than what I chose, and I was bothered by the way he treated me. If I had more time, I would've said something. Between that and it being impossible now to make an appointment over the phone, I have a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. I've seen some very entitled clients who ask their tech for multiple color changes, but I really don't think I should have to speak up about something as blatant as this. read more

I've been a customer of Genesis for around 10 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. The technicians are all professional, pleasant, and eager to provide excellent service. My nail artist, nickname Quin, brings me a rolled towel for my back and even walks me to my car because I use a cane. I cannot recommend Genesis enough! read more

please do not go here.. the worst experience I ever had. I stopped the "nail tech" in the middle of my appointment because of how terrible they looked so far. I couldn't trust this process. I went to another nail salon and they told me my nails were so bad and they couldn't fix my nails. Please don't waste your time nor money. read more

I usually get a great pedicure here, but something changed a while ago and I can't put my finger on it. Then today, I noticed, only after the technician clipped my skin, that the manicures have lights but not the pedicures... And it dawned on me ... it's dark in here!!! The technician did not speak good English and her mask didn't help. She kept asking, "ok?" "Ok?" Give the pedicure technicians lights! read more

My daughter had Gel-X nails done here. Best work quality she has seen!! Design was also beautiful.

Customer service was outstanding, quality was great, overall vibe was chill and perfect after a stressful work week.

I've come twice to this place, as I wanted to make sure I could write a good review. I highly recommend this nail salon for manis, pedis, and anything else you could want! I came in at a rather busy time, but was helped right away and didn't have to wait long to have my nails done. Amy did my nails (gel x) and she did great! I was unsure if I wanted cat eye on top of my color, so she did one nail with the design to see if I really liked it or not. She was gentle and fast-paced, but did a great job! read more

this was an amazing experience! vibes were awesome. tan communicated with me about price, design, shape, length, etc. we also had really great conversation. i've gotten my nails done in other places, and i will say these are a bit more expensive than what i'm used to, but the quality is well reflected in the price. will come again!! read more

Genesis Nail Spa - nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Homewood, Alabama

Okay, hands down the best nail salon I've ever encountered. I wish I lived closer to go here monthly!! Kristine did my nails, and she was sooo great! Friendly, personable, etc etc. She helped me pick the perfect brown color for fall, and she did a wonderful job with my dip manicure. So far, I've had my manicure for 1 week, and it's still looking great. I hope to go back here as much as I can! Everyone was very nice and welcoming. Things were organized and cleaned. The pricing was pretty standard as well. read more

Genesis Nail Spa - OPI dip mani by Kristine - Nail Salons Near Me - Homewood, Alabama

By far the worst nail experience I have ever had. The nail tech assigned to me did not know how to do gel x. She put my nails well about my nail bed. I had to wait 2 hours for someone to do my nails. read more

I asked for a simple French tip with a cheetah design on two nails. Instead of being honest and saying they couldn't do it, they told me they could, but clearly, they could not. When I asked if we could just switch to a plain French because they weren't turning out how I liked, the guy actually got upset with me! Like, what?! Then he charged me $100 for a basic acrylic French set. Absolutely ridiculous. They did not listen to a single thing I said and had the nerve to make it seem like it was my fault. I will not be coming back here. read more

This nail spa is always busy but they get in at a timely manner and get you out with a pretty set of fresh nails and you can't beat the price. Every other nail spa I know has went up on the price but this spa kept the same the prices. I love my nails every time I come to this spa!!!!! read more

Literally always excellent service, super easy to just walk in, but I usually make an appointment and they're wonderful and efficient!! Excellent attention to detail too, always so happy with my nails when I walk out. I mean just LOOK what Lisa did!! Amazing! read more

Not really a manicure/pedicure type girl. However, I do know it is in my best interest to get pampered and those cuticles taken care of. I researched several places because I had a couple of places to go to in the area. I went with Genesis. I called on Monday and made an appointment. Walked in, greeted, told to pick out a color, and seated. Philip was my nail tech and very friendly. The massage of my hands was very welcoming and he even did the lotion in heart shape for this Valentine's Day 2020, cute!!! I think he did an awesome job! I like the space and will definitely return again. read more

My go-to for a spontaneous, unscheduled pedicure. Salon is clean and well-staffed, I've never had to wait very long even without an appointment. Nail tech did a great job. Anita D. read more

Fantastic services!!! Loved the team. Very accommodating to a slight schedule change. Relaxed and good vibe. Cute neighborhood.

Best nail salon in Birmingham! I have been multiple times and each time I'm amazed with the service. All the nail techs are so nice and my nails come out looking great. They're also very affordable in comparison to other salons in the area. read more

Great first experience here, my boyfriend knew I was looking for a new nail salon so he got me a gift card here. I was a walk-in and still didn't have to wait long before getting my nails done, even though there were a few people waiting in line before me. It was exactly what I wanted and it was quick service, but not at all rushed. My nail tech put effort and detail into making my nails look good. I will definitely be back! read more

They. Honor. Appointments. 10 out of 10 for that alone. Great selection of colors and incredible staff. read more

I went and had a full set done on my hands and a pedicure. The girl who did my nails (Mia) not sure of spelling lol. Was wonderful see did exactly what I wanted and very friendly with a great personality. Would definitely let her do them again. . The pedicure wasn't as great as in it's like she was scared to touch feet. Literally ran the file across my heel once then had me rinse my own feet. read more

Great place for nails! Clean & nice. Highly recommend for toes & nails! Sometimes it can be a bit of a wait.

Not my best experience getting a gel manicure but cheaper than my usual overall. Didn't do a good job with my cuticles in terms of helping a gel manicure last longer than a week. read more

$35 for a 20 minute pedicure. No massage included as stated on m card. Going back to my other place. read more

Very disappointed in recent service. I am a regular patron there and had to wait almost 30 minutes after my appointment time to start my service. I then had to leave before painting due to a work emergency and the quality of the 'manicure' I paid $27 for was horrible. My nails weren't filed straight and cuticles still look rough. Will NOT be going back!!! read more

I came here for my wedding nails and they went above and beyond. I brought in a picture from Pinterest, and I wasn't sure if they were able to do it. The owner took my nails on and made it happen. They did SNS on my nails to strengthen them and make them longer. Then using gel nail polish she was able to get the color and the glitter I wanted. The nails lasted 3 weeks, and removal was a breeze. He made she my nails were shaped and buffered so they still looked nice after the SNS nails were removed. They do a good job every time I have come here! And I'll be coming back for any nail needs. read more

THANK YOU KATIE!! They only offer gel and not acrylic but they did not disappoint with the gel! Katie (hope I'm spelling her name right) was so fun!!!! read more

I never get my nails done but wanted to treat myself for an upcoming event. I came in without an appointment at 3pm on a Wednesday. Despite the place being super busy, I was taken to a station quickly and was in and out in less than an hour. The gel manicure I got looked amazing and has lasted so long. I will be back! Definitely recommend. read more

Booked an appointment ahead of time for Saturday 10AM. Our party was seated immediately to start our pedicure. The service was very friendly and made us feel right at home. My pedicure and nail cleaning and shine took about 1 hour. My feet felt so soft and pampered afterwards. I have the ugliest toenails in the world. I don't even have a 5th toenail and somehow they created a toenail with the happy pink nail polish. There are tons of colors to chose from. My fingernails shined in a way I never knew was possible. The total cost was $45. I appreciate the way they treated my hands and feet. They held them like they were precious treasure. read more

Didn't have an appointment but they allowed walk-ins and encouraged me to stay. So friendly! Great work on my nails. Professional and personable. read more

Beautiful place to get a mani/pedi. Affordable and very precise work! That foot massage was EVERYTHING. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here, very relaxing. They are following social distancing and safety protocols while still making the visit enjoyable. I'll def be back. Loved it and worth every penny. read more

My nails are okay. But they aren't what I wanted or asked for. The lady who did my nails did not listen to me. She ask if I wanted my nails cut and I replied "no I want to keep the length and just file for shape" She then proceeds to cut my nails. Additionally, I asked for no or very little filing on the top of my nails (I don't care if my dip powder doesn't stay as long!) she then ignored my request and filed the top of my natural nails, which were already thin. Update: Kristine reached out to me and the customer service was great, very nice and understanding! read more

Mya was so great, loved being there! Always a good experience. Definitely make an appointment rather than walk in. I'm going back today lol
