I only go here to get my acrylic nails done. James always does a great job. I recommend calling and making an appointment first.

I got the vip spa package. They spent more time scrubbing and massaging my legs than scrubbing the bottom of my feet. He didn't take his time. The hot wax and hot stones were such a nice treat. They also gave me a heated face mask, which was amazing!! I just wish he would've taken his time. It cost me $80. read more

First time there, not impressed. I went with my daughter who suggested we go here. I usually go somewhere else. I will say that the place is very neat and clean, but the technician I had was awful. I was told she is the 'head technician.' If that is the case, she needs to focus on doing that job and not focus so much on what is going on around her. She was on the phone at least three times while doing my mani and pedi. She was making appointments for people, but wrote nothing down. After seeing some of the comments about people making appointments and still having to wait for an hour+, I understand why. They give you the appointment, but don't write it down and then forget about it. This tech was constantly watching the door and greeting everyone that came in. I understand being friendly, but focus on what you are doing! My pedi was done really fast, hardly any leg massage like elsewhere. My toes look awful. Onto the mani - told her I wanted one polish on my fingers and another on my ring finger. She never did that. She did them all the same color - more than likely because she wasn't even paying attention when I told her what I wanted. No hand massage, just some lotion spread across the back of my hand and one swipe down my fingers. My thumb has a bubble on it that I didn't notice until I left. Funny thing is that my daughter and I were started on at the same time, but I was done at least 15 minutes before my daughter. I guess her tech gave her focussed attention and a full service. I don't plan on going back here any time soon. As a matter of fact, probably never. read more

We decided at the last minute to get mani pedis. Unfortunately a lot of places were closed because it was Sunday. The place was very clear, the staff was friendly and helpful. When we arrived there were a lot of other customers getting manicures. They seemed to be repeat clients which is good. It speaks to the quality and customer service. I would go back again if we are in the Carlisle area. read more

They always do the nails so far from the bed it looks like they are a week or two old! Annoying. Not very communicative and will talk crap on you rather than to you. read more

Very impressed. First time here. I called to make an appointment and got in right away. Lovely gel set for vacation. I will be back. read more

H3 Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Carlisle, Pennsylvania

nails looked fantastic, but they weren't very communicative there's also air bubbles that do not look good, but at the end they use this lotion, it BURNT MY HANDS it stung so bad, they also had a few blues in there only so I had to get away different than my photo, the bathroom is very chill just be prepared for them not speaking a single bit of English.... read more

I have gone to H3 Nails three times in the past six years. Each time there has been an issue. My first visit there was an issue with my gift card, the next time I got an ingrown toenail from the man doing my toes...And now this time. I went Wednesday afternoon for a manicure. While I know that I don't take great care of my own cuticles so they needed some work, the man doing it cut 3 of my cuticles so badly they bled. Like the whole time I was there. They're now painful and red. To top it off, yesterday, less than 48 hours after I got them done, two of my fingers had the polish completely peel off. The rest are already chipping. I haven't been doing anything out of the ordinary with my hands and this issue has not happened with other places. I normally don't leave reviews, but this was a very poor experience. I won't be back. read more

H3 Nails - My nails less than 48 hours after having them done, with missing polish and a swollen nail bed on the pinky - Nail Salons Near Me - Carlisle, Pennsylvania

Fair pricing and quick service. However, my gel manicure had a bump/bubble in two nails that have now since ripped off one layer. It's chipping with minimal wear as I haven't done anything crazy. Might try dip powder but so far, not too impressed. Regal nails in Walmart lasted longer than here. read more

It's a solid meh from me. Let me expand... Pros: - the place is clean and has an adequate number of stations - making appointments was easy enough - they offer other services besides manis and pedis, like waxing - cheap Cons: they overbook!!! Waited 40 mins past my appointment before the nail tech got started - regular nail polish selection is old, some were dry and/or chalky - the gel I selected had separated and when I pointed it out to the nail tech she dismissed it Once the first coat went on it was clear it wouldn't work so she had to remove it which caused my nails to get an additional beating resulting in bumpy nails in one hand - nail techs are always in a rush and don't take the time to focus on the customer in front of them - you get what you pay for! No option for a true spa mani/pedi, pretty much you get some lotion on your hands and a weak massage (handshake really) from the nail tech Bottom line I'm new in town so I'll continue to search for a decent spot. Oh and tips are cash only! My husband got chastised for asking if it was OK to add the tip to the card. Seriously?! I had to jump in and call the lady out for being rude. Here's a tip: "lose the attitude!" read more

If I could give them a lower score than a one star I would. I told the person doing my pedicure twice that I was diabetic and to be extra careful cutting my toenails and twice he nicked a large toe after I said that. Drew blood both times. Did a lousy job to boot. I had gone back today to give them another try after a previous bad experience, and I am officially done with this place. Hardly possible but they have gotten even worse. Are they even trained or certified to do the job they do? My vote is no... they are not! read more

Have been to this nail salon several times before with OK service. I was i recently and ended up in the ER with a blood infection that began in my nail/cuticle after my fill appointment. BE CAREFUL of the cleanliness of their tools!!!! I won't ever be back. read more

The staffs are friendly and nice. The quality is good. They can do the nice designs and perfect relaxing service for my feet as well.

Just started to pull in to get my nails done as a ((walk-in customer)). Found the owner and one of the associates standing in front of the place screaming at a woman trying to get into her car. They were demanding money from her. She was saying they didn't do anything for her, but she tossed $5 at them to get them to leave. They were Making a terrible scene in the ROAD. I had to stop my car. They made no attempt to move, blocking the driveway so I could not go around and the woman from leaving. They were threatening calling the police and she kept saying ( I just paid you for nothing! Leave me alone) but they would not move!! I was freaking trapped in my car listening to this fight!! Guess my nails don't get done today. What a horrible couple!! Avoid this place like the plague.!! No one deserves to be harassed like that!! read more

Always a wonderful experience when I go in. They are usually busy so expect a little bit of a wait when you go in. It is 100% worth it though as they do excellent work. Highly recommend the hard gel for a manicure! read more

This was the worst pedicure I have ever had; the young man cut my toe along with my nail----he did not even apologize. He did a 10 Minute pedicure--it was $35.00!!! I discourage anyone from going there ever!! I was still bleeding when I got home! read more

My daughter and I took my mother in for a VIP spa pedicure, and we got pedicures as well. The staff were exceptional, and spent their time pampering my mother with a paraffin treatment , leg and foot massages as well as a neck massage to finish her visit. They were very focused on pampering us to the fullest, and we were very happy with our time spent at H3. read more

I had a very bad time at this location. I went in with a friend to get our nails done and they said they could get us in, especially once we expressed we were in a rush and could go somewhere else. We waited about 30min and was asked if we could wait another hour. That was fine, because they promised us service. My friend (not saying race plays a role in this situation, but we are two different races) was asked to go first and they completed her nails, while I waited for about another hour. Once they were almost finished with her nails, they asked if I could come back at a later date because they were unable to do my nails after waiting several hours and was promised service. read more

All of the younger girls in this shop do a great job but watch out for the older lady! Every time I go there I end up with her and her, rushed and sloppy work. Also, every time she judges me for my toenails being short and my color choice and complains that it's too light. The most recent time I changed my mind to black after her telling me my first choice was too light and she laughed at me. I ended up walking out without the gel manicure I came for and just a poorly done pedicure. read more

I've gone to H3 for about a year now and today was most definitely the best experience I've ever had! I got a gel manicure which cost $28. The woman I had, wish I knew her name, was SO polite and did the best work I've ever had done on my nails. She took her time buffing & shaping my nails which I really appreciate. When she saw that the color was a little thin after the first few coats she did a few more. I most definitely enjoyed my experience at H3 and I'm glad I decided to go back. I recommend going during a "non-busy" time because I feel like I had a better experience since they weren't rush! Overall I most definitely got my money's worth and I am so pleased with my nails. read more

went to get my acrylics taken off and this lady almost took off my whole nail before doing it correctly. they can be good but make sure you get someone who knows what they are doing read more

Great salon! I've been searching for a good salon in the area and finally found the one. The decor and ambiance are really nice; everything is clean with lots of pretty touches. Services are well priced. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. I got a gel manicure and loved the books they had featuring all the colors. Highly recommend! read more

Ive been searching for months for a place to get my nails done consistently. I think I finally found a place! I went in on the third day they were open and everything was great. The people were very nice, the facility was brand-new and obviously very clean, they had a great selection of colors and services. I have long natural nails so I decided to have them apply SS powder, which I've never had done before. Heidi performed my services and she was great! She explained everything step-by-step and did a fantastic job. Besides the grow out, my nails still look wonderful two weeks later! I'll definitely come back!! read more

Not the best Mani/pedi. But was clean and I didn't have to wait for my services. The gal didn't seem very interested in her job and it showed read more

I've checked out several nail salons in Carlisle, I think H3 is the best. The customer service is always superior. The staff works hard and is accommodating. Make an appointment because they're always busy. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE. I will never recommend this business to anyone ever again. I've been going there since it opened and today will be the very last time I step foot in that nail salon. I could go on with reasons starting with the fact that.... 1) Even if you make an appointment they'll do your nails way, way past the time you requested. 2) I went in to get one nail fixed and they told me they were booked when I asked if they could do it later or tomorrow they still said they couldn't. After I sat there for about 20-25 minutes. 3) I've been there on many/majority occasions and have waited up to 2-3 hours without being told anything even when I had important events to attend. 4) They are very rude and I don't feel welcomed when coming in EVER... every time I've been there I've noticed them ask others what they needed done but I'm never asked. Please do not waste your time going there. I'd recommend Best Nails or somewhere out of town to go to. read more

It's hard to explain how they did. But on our pedicure, they didn't do that great. They didn't put the nail polish back far enough at all. They did pretty good on my nails, but they got nail glue on my finger. Oh and, the guy was very rough on my feet. But the good thing was they aren't rude, they are pretty nice. read more

I got A pedicure here and he didn't even scrub my feet he just brushed them with a brush. It was the worst pedicure I have ever had. Terrible terrible service. My nails turned out perfect but a female did them. read more

I only gave 1 star because I had to give something to write my review! This is the WORST nail salon I've ever come to! The customer service is poor at best! It is close by my home so I've tried it 3 times and each time the service is terrible!! I would not recommend my dog to get her nails done here! I came here during grand opening and they forgot to add a product to my water that I paid for and when I questioned them they lied and said it was added. This time which is my LAST visit I asked for a design which I knew was extra not new to getting my nails done and she questioned me 4 different times if I wanted the design because it was extra! I finally said you know what forget it just paint my nails so I can go! If you live in Carlisle, PA classy nails in the Target plaza is the place to go!! read more

Expensive. Don't bother asking for the "special" pedicures. Not worth the extra cost. Also the dipping powder for your nails doesn't even include a manicure. So a manicure is extra on top of that. Also the price I was quoted for a service not on their price list was not what I ended up having to pay. Pros would be it's still clean. read more

This place appears to have all new staff - at least one of which is new, inexperienced and uncertain of his own work. Have been here many times with good experience; however my tech today will ensure that I don't return. He barely knew how to hold the cuticle cutting tool and def didn't know how to use it. Paid for a manicure and instead just got my nails filed and painted and feet washed with soap. Not any callous remover or lotion. Didn't recognize any of the staff from my many previous, pre-covid visits. read more

This is the nicest nail salon in Carlisle for sure! I had to wait for a little while because I was a walk in but I did not mind. I got a jelly pedicure which was awesome and a gel manicure. The service was friendly and very well done. I will definitely be returning. read more

This place is wonderful. Fast & friendly. Affordable and gorgeous inside. There isn't much to chose from here in Carlisle and this place is a god send! I drop in once or month or so for a pedicure and I do not leave dissatisfied. read more

I made an appointment, yet still waited approximately 45 minutes for my service to begin. It was the quickest mani/pedi I've ever had. Less than 30 minutes for both combined. Short and poor service, I will not be going back! read more

I walked in around 1pm. Didn't have to wait, very well put together salon, and a really nice selection of gel polish. The staff was very nice and very attentive. The young man who did my fill had a great eye for detail, and made sure they were just perfect! They also had classical music playing, which I found very relaxing. I'll definitely be back! Not to mention they ended my fill with a hand massage and a hot towel. It was a nice touch!! Go and see the fine folks at H3 Nails, you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Friendly and attentive staff. Clean and inviting atmosphere. Will continue to get my nails done here.

Never before did I come home from getting a pedicure with my feet dried out and rough. Today was the day. I gave two stars because the place is nice but I won't go back. read more

I was hoping this would be our new nail place since we just moved to Carlisle. Well, I was definitely disappointed!!! My manicure looks horrible! The girl who did my nails had an attitude because I wanted gel polish removed and just a regular manicure in its place, to give my nails a break. I asked her to make sure to remove all of the red polish before painting my nails with a light coral/pink color. She did not! She said oh it'll be fine with 2 coats of polish. I will never go to this place again!! Stay away!! read more

Went there twice and got the dip powder. After a couple days the dip started to crack and chip off. It was a waste of money to get my nails only for them to chip off. If it happened once I would have thought nothing of it but it happened twice. I just can't bring myself to spend another dollar there for poor quality nails. read more
