    How my nails were left after SNS removal
    Rachel S.

    I thought I'd save a few minutes and stop here instead of driving into Grovetown to my normal place. Huge mistake. I've had SNS removed several times (usually a combination of grinding and acetone) but nothing compares to how painful this was. He started by taking nail clippers to the tops. Anyone who's had fake tips with SNS knows that the polish is THICK and breaking it is painful. They proceeded to use a fake nail to literally PRY the SNS polish off of my nails in one piece. If I wanted removal to be painful, I could have done that myself. It absolutely destroyed my nails and now they're paper thin. I pulled my hands away several times in pain and he just shook my fingers as if that made it better. I left with my nails torn, rough, and jagged. Overall, extremely disappointing.

    I really upset with my nails. More upset that spent money on something that didn't make me up. I could tell I was going to dislike it because the guy was rushing. I asked for short almond nails and instead I got medium sharp nails. The nails are so thick and uneven. Polish and acrylic powder are outside my cuticle. He did a sloppy job. I'm going somewhere else tomorrow to get these things off me

    I absolutely love the quality of work at Golden Nails. Unfortunately they lose a star from me. Prices are extremely inconsistent and it's very frustrating to deal with. 2 weeks ago I go to get a fill in, cut down and gel polish and it was $30. Now it's $35. Last month it was $25. I heard them quote a walk in $25 for a cut down and gel polish and then they turned around and charged me $35 for the work in the picture. I didn't even get a color in my nails so I was very confused how it could cost $5 more than it did last time.. My nails always turn out great but the inconsistency in the prices has me weary of returning...

    My last visit was the final straw for me. I've given this salon chance after chance, after chance... they disappoint me every single time. I kept going because of convenience and I always settled for something I didn't intend to get when I first walked in. They are super basic (paint/dip powder) only. They are not capable of doing simple designs or they are just too lazy to do them. I asked for a simple line swirl design and they couldn't do that, the lines are blah and she thought it looked good, after switching the colors that I originally wanted. The quality does NOT match their prices. They always rush and this time, the lady was rushing she cut my finger and only said "sorry" as if it was not a big deal and I had to remind her not to file so hard several times after she cut me. Do not waste your time or money here.

    Very nice and relaxing nail shop. Tina is the shop owner and very understanding of what it is you want. She will even suggest different things to you if you are unsure. I went on a Saturday afternoon expecting it to be busy, but it was not. I was seated in the pedicure chair as soon as I walked in, and while I was there someone came to work on my nails. The staff is super friendly, they also have complementary drinks, something that a lot of shops do not have. They do have happy hour Monday- Wednesday 9:30-4pm with a 5% discount and Military discount is 5% as well. I always recommend my friends and family here. You'll be in great hands. Update**** I went in for a fill in and they turned out better than when I first got them! My fill in is the very last picture with my outside

    I haven't had my nails done in over a year! I was looking for a place with clean, quick, and quality service with reasonable prices. This is my new spot. I arrived and was quickly seated and taken care up in less than 40 minutes. The prices are reasonable and having a friendly staff makes the experience better! Will definitely recommend and come back! Ask for Henry I heard he gives the best pedicures in Grovetown!

    SNS mani by Irina.
    Jessica S.

    Stopped by here yesterday for the second time. I don't have any complaints! The first time my mani/pedi was completed by Pia, who was super sweet! Yesterday Janessa did my pedi and Irina my mani. I chose the SNS French mani and I'm in love. I'm a newbie to the nail world and Irina took her time to explain the differences and recommended the SNS bc my nails are thin and brittle and it would be good for them. As a side note, the conversation I heard about the other young lady, Pia, was that she returned to school and wasn't working. I'll be returning. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere....it helps me to decompress after a long work day!!

    Let me start by saying that I do not ever leave reviews, but my experience was SO bad I have to share. I went in with beautifully longs that had gel polish on them which I had done two weeks ago at this salon. That experience was fine. This time I had the same manicurist. He was so aggressive I kept flinching, as he filed the top of my nails and kept bending my long nails down, which if you have every experienced you will know how incredibly uncomfortable that is. At one point he was so rough that wHEB I pulled away he broke my nail half way up the nail bed. At that point in time a female manicurist took over. She seemed irritated to be helping me and finished my nails within 10 minutes. The entire manicure lasted all of 15 minutes. My nails werent filed into a uniform shape, my cuticles were not touched, and some of my nails have the old gel polish around the edges. Really disappointing, especially since I used to be a regular at this salon. I will not go back. If you have nice nails DO NOT GO HERE.

    I had almost lost faith in finding a decent nail salon for the nail dipping powders and great gel nail products. Most salons on my side of town are closed on Tuesdays (their loss)...so I found this lil gem and decided to give them a try. Upon walking in, I was graciously greeted by the staff and instantly seated. I appreciated the fact that the business did not have that strong acetone or acrylic like smell. It was clean, and we'll kept. Everything looked organized and pretty much in place. I wanted to get my nails done because a previous salon had done such a horrible job on them. But that's a whole nother review... They have several different brands and colors of dipping powders to choose from and were extremely polite while trying to accommodate my nail requests. This is my first time trying the pointy style nails vs the traditional square style I always get. I think they turned out pretty good, except for the fact that the over part looks a bit messily done. The gentleman who did my nails was not familiar with doing the tips let alone ombre with the powder dips. But he tried and the young lady who introduced herself as Tina's sister, helped guide him with shaping, while Tony helped explain to him how to do the actual ombre part. Needless to say I knew I was a guinea pig without being able to translate their conversations between each other. In all honesty, I'm completely satisfied with my nails despite the fact that they aren't perfect because when he was done he felt a sense of accomplishment and I know we all gotta start somewhere when new fashion trends are thrown at us. I feel that with time the ombre part will definitely get better and if I'm the only person willing to keep sitting in his seat, then so be it!!! SN: They have a $5 off military discount and in case you're wondering the full set with ombre is $55

    Attempt at an ombré

    I've been here a few times and each visit was different. The service here is inconsistent and overpriced. Whatever you do, don't go with the male workers. They are lazy and sloppy. Interior is just like any average salon. Nothing special or unique. They greet you once you enter the door and ask what service you're looking for. We were seated right away. I got an acrylic set done by one of the guys. I showed him 2 pictures of what I wanted. The pictures were actually from a customer on their yelp page and the style Is called an ombré from pink to white. It was done by someone from their salon. I told him that I didn't want shellac. After he put the powder over the acrylics he asked what color I wanted and I showed him the picture again and told him white and pink. He gave a little attitude and said "it's too late... I can't do it. I asked you before...you said no gel...*mumbling*". I told him that i still didn't want shellac and said it's fine if he couldn't do the ombré and that I'll just get a single color. He paused for a minute and told me "no no I can...I can do it." I told him multiple times that it's fine if he couldn't do it but insisted that he could so we proceeded and failed. After his poor attempt of an ombré, he had me place my nails under the uv light to dry. I went up to the register to speak with another lady and told her to fix my nails because they look horrible and she sat me down at her station and said she would fix it for me after she helped another customer. She knew I was upset and looked upset herself at how bad my nails looked. She left to help her other customer and not even a minute later the guy comes up to me and asked what was wrong with my nails. I was like really? Look at them and you tell me. You were going to just let me walk out here and pay for shitty ass nails?!!? They were blotchy, uneven, and harsh lines.He looked at them and said, come come I fix it for you, I paint it. Round 2...he basically did the whole powder and file process again. They look better than his first attempt but definitely inconsistent and sloppy. He clearly doesnt know how to do the ombré style with polish or powder. He wasn't friendly and his customer service was bad. He seemed like he just wanted to rush through it and get to the next customer. If it wasn't for Jennifer, the lady who was trying to help me, I was not going to pay and come back but she was sweet and said that she would fix it for me for free next time. I probably won't be coming back here after she fills them for free. If you come here, ask for Jennifer and don't get your work done by the men!! I would suggest going else where.

    The nail tech there Michael, I like him. He's thorough with his job. It's never rushed & sloppy. I've been a frequent at this shop for about 3 months now. The reason being is because of the convenient location. This shop is literally two blocks from my house. As often as I come here though, I don't think it'll be my "nail home" so-to-speak. I don't think any of these people even know who I am (or care to). On top of that, the owner is pretty careless with business hours in the morning. I came by at 9am because the "open" was flashing. We were turned around by some male employee (I believe her husband) and told to come back at 10 because that's when she was gonna come in. The H.O.O says they open at 9:30 though. That was a bit off-putting. They're lucky I live right down the street, because I honestly didn't want to return.

    Fantastic gel nails and not too thick. Just what I wanted!

The nail salon looks much better in appearance and cleanliness. At this moment due to COVID-19, she's only taking appointments so you'll have to contact her in order to schedule an appointment with her. The facility is relatively small, but she's currently making effort to make the nail salon in her unique oasis. They have several services that they offer in this nail salon including SNS, acrylic, gel polish (OPI & Gelish), pedicure (basic, deluxe and spa), basic nail polish and designs. The service I received today was a SNS French Manicure ($40) and it wasn't the best French manicure that I've received before; however, you're able to direct Helena with what you're envisioning with your nails. She stated that she's not good with SNS French manicure after starting on my nails, but you're able to see that it's a French set. She's currently apprenticing two young ladies to learn the cosmetic trade so I thought that was interesting to see at a nail salon.
