I haven't been to a nail salon in quite some time and decided to give this a place a shot as it is right near my house. The interior was nice, spacious, and clean. I also like the face that they have an actual receptionist at the front..she was very friendly and helpful. Overall a very pleasant atmosphere. Now on to the nails... first let me say they have a HUGE polish selection to choose from. I had initially wanted to use the one that matched my toes from home but quickly changed my mind when I saw all the swatches they had. I had a bit of a wait because, of course, it was Sunday so I expected there to be a lot of customers. They were really nice and kept apologizing for my wait time but it was totally fine with me. My nail tech was also very nice and upbeat. She was very attentive and made sure I was happy with the length and shape. The only thing I would probably change is the time I came in. By the time I had gotten done, most of the crowd had left. I've already recommended this place to a few friends and will definitely be back when it's time to fill them in. I'm very pleased with my nails and have already received compliments on them. read more

I Love Nails - Full Set with Gel Polish - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Lynn is amazing at gel nails and very particular. Have never had any problems with manicures or pedicures. It is my go to nail salon.

I love coming to this place because they do good work and always fit me in.. I will say I was pretty disappointed by the price I paid today, which was $10 more than I have been charged for the same service in the past. Every time I come here the price changes. I have gotten a bunch of new acrylic sets and fill ins. The fill ins have ranged from $45-$55 and the new acrylic sets have been $60-$75!!!?? I am not getting anything special, just new acrylic and gel polish, no designs with a coffin nail shape... I wish the prices for the services were posted within the store or on their website. I like to tip the people that work and do my nails, because they do great work, but I can't do that when the full price with tip included is the actual price I'm paying now (without tip). It's unfair to new and old clients. I have come 1 time every month for a set of acrylics for the past 6/7 months... i didn't mind whatever price they gave me until today when i paid over $70 for a new set of acrylics..... read more

Only time in my life I was apprehensive to get my nails done. I was waiting and getting my dip removed by soaking my nails. This is all normal. The nail stylist about 10 feet away was doing someone else's nails and I was timing it. Sniffling approximately every 95 seconds. Big sniffles for at least 15 minutes I timed. No one was asked to wash their hands when they walk in. I was concerned this person would do my nails next and after the last big sniffle I left. I will not be back. read more

Such a great job! Michael did my nails and he did a fantastic job! He definitely knows what he's doing and did everything great! Would definitely recommend for anyone who need their acrylics done! read more

Terrible-0 stars. Charged $65 starting price for "full set" gel then $5 per sticker for a child's "design" then say "the child knew the price before I did it" huh? Didn't tell her anything. Then tried to say bc of the length that makes the price. The nails were short......so which is it the stickers or the length? Then one of the nails the side was messed up. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Terrible experience at this salon! This was my 3rd visit and certainly my last. My total service was $150. Regular pedi with gel polish and full set with gel polish. I think my cat could've did a better job. Not to mention it was my 30th birthday. Look at the way my nails are filed, how thick and uneven they are! The jewels even flicked off the next day, as well as the gel polish on my toes. This entire salon is a joke. If you want a good service I suggest anyone but this one! Don't wast your money or time. Thankfully I was able to get my nails fixed! I repeat, DO NOT VISIT "I LOVE NAILS" overpriced & severely under serviced. read more

Waited about 45-60 mins for a full set, I showed Pinterest photo. Regular almond with just a normal pink. Paid $55 and not happy. Literally left and going to my usual salon to get them fixed. Probably will not be back. Guy cut me three times on my left hand and once on my right. Literally left with a paper towel for the blood. read more

Liked my nails. Come in showing the lady a picture, and walked out with almost the same thing. I got gel with the rainbow chrome for $75. 2 of my fingers were bleeding after being cut with the drill, and my nails could of been filed down more. EDITED: The more I get my nails done, the more I see change of prices/service. I think this set was way over priced for what I got/my experience. I got cut by the drill (even drawing some blood) and I wasn't aware that my nails could of been filed down better (the nails had a bubble look, not cute just plain thick for no reason) and the gel could of been closer to my nail beds. They looked like they were growing out already by the 2nd day (my nails grow at normal speed and I usually don't need a fill in for 3-4 weeks) not because they actually were growing out, but because the lady left a gap between my nail bed and the fake nails. I barely noticed walking out because the gel was almost the same color as my nail bed. For paying $90 (that's with the tip I left) I could of gotten better service AND a more esthetically pleasing nail set somewhere else, probably cheaper and much closer to where I live. read more

Best nail salon in the area . They follow all Covid guidelines. Temp taken. They require hand washing. They have dividers between each customer. Friendly staff. Beverages served. Very clean. They take their time & do a wonderful job on hands, feet & waxing read more

Will never go back. I don't live here and I need a new set for a concert. I asked for a Van lavender checkers on 2 of my nails and the tech said he couldn't do it. The shape and lengths were not even. I cut and soaked them off after 3 days read more

I am giving two stars because the shop environment is nice. My nail service was horrible the tech cut me with the file, I told her and she said I just have sensitive skin. My gel application was not right; too thick, the shine coat peeled off on one finger the next day (she only did one top coat I usually have 2-3), and one nail color is not applied properly. When you pay $45 for just a manicure with powder color you definitely don't expect the service I received. read more

I Love Nails - The morning after my service. - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Not great. Arrived without an appointment on a Sunday afternoon. Placed my name on the list for a pedi. No one could give me an estimate of how long of a wait it would be for a pedicure. About 10-min later my turn arrived (not a bad wait). Selected the Deluxe Pedicure from the three options available. Looked forward to the extra foot massage with cooling gel, mud mask & big hot towels. Massage chair was finicky...never could get the massage options to work and apparently was so distracted with the chair that I missed not only my foot massage, but also the extra foot massage. Have never experienced such a blatant skip of a foot massage before! Whole experience lasted only 20-min. Needless to say, I won't be back. Where can I go to get a good pedicure in this city! read more

I Love Nails - Tips, pink-white sparkle ombré - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Not impressed. Lady not friendly. I was the only customer. I smiled and tried to connect with young lady. She tried to sell me 40.00 upgrade but I only wanted pedi without polish. She charged me 5.00 more so I left no tip. Too bad because I would have been a regular but will spend money elsewhere. She did above average pedi but customer service huge for me. read more

I dropped in here unannounced this morning needing my two week old gel manicure to be redone from another salon in another state as it had started delaminating. It started out great with the removal of the old. It fell off the wheels when the shaping began, but the technicians were quickly switched and we got back on track. The attention to detail was really great and this was probably one of the best gel manicures I have ever gotten. She made sure the gel was cured on each hand between each layer. I expect this one will last longer and I am very happy with the outcome. TY! I love my nails! read more

I saw the great reviews and I thought I'd try this place. They didn't disappoint at all. I was greeted with a smile and was asked if I'd like wine. I got a gel mani and a regular pedicure. I watched as all the techs paid attention to their work to ensure each customer was pleased. I will return. read more

Most inconsistent nail spot in Irmo, do not recommend. Went in with a simple blue French tip photo and the man continued to paint it them black over and over again. I could not understand a word that he was saying, and he could not understand me. I eventually gave up and settled for solid nails after his version of a French tip was painting half the nail blue. He left open spaces on almost all of the nails and looks sloppy. Horrible experience again and again. read more

Great pedicure and clean, beautiful facility. Had the best pedicure massage ever today and will definitely come back. Come in, get a great massage-chair massage, have a drink and watch cute animal videos on the big screen. Pretty much made my dreams come true. read more

Clean, friendly and professional! Great mani and pedi. I was visiting from out of town and found this place. Great service! A+

Worse pedicure I have EVER had. Guy was in such a hurry - nails were left too long and were not even cut straight. Polish job was terrible also. Getting ready to go on vacation tomorrow so I had to go home and redo it myself. Such a waste of $35 - definitely did not leave a tip. Had another bad pedicure there because the guy talked on the telephone the whole time he was doing the pedicure. Done with this place! read more

What an excellent salon! My 12 year old daughter and I had a special treat day and they treated her like a princess. Hieu did a dip polish and pedicure for her and she is absolutely thrilled with both fingers and toes. He was also really kind and engaging making her feel super welcomed and relaxed. Nam did a pedicure and gel polish manicure for me. He didn't have much to say but the service was wonderful. I accidentally messed up a toe, didn't even notice and he made sure to fix it. He is also very gentle handed. We will definitely be back! read more

I have been here a few times thinking maybe it will get better, nope. First time dip nails cracked within a week and they said it was my fault and wouldn't fix it. Also nails look terrible around my cuticle beds. Then I wanted ombre nails and they said they were too short which is a lie because I've had them ombre before with this length. Today I got a pedicure. The guy rushed through more worried about his regular client waiting than me, even though I was getting the most expensive pedicure package. Then when I asked for a design on my toes I was told I needed to get gel for that (an extra 20 dollars) because regular dries too slow. Well it has never been an issue anywhere else. So needless to say I won't be back here. I'll be taking my money and my tips (10 dollars plus) to another location. read more

Nice environment and nails are perfect! Pay extra for the gel... I wait tables and it has lasted 3 weeks.

The service rendered definitely wasn't worth the cost. My nails looked better before the services.

Amazing atmosphere, attentive staff, and friendly. Lots of color choices and options for pedicures. I love my nails...second time here and I will be back! The hours are also great. Open 7 days a week! The decor is beautiful. Chairs are all massaging. Very clean too! It actually feels like a real salon. read more

They are nice and the place is clean but my acrylic nails are lumpy and very thick. The nails also weren't placed all the way back on my fingers, so the grow out has been enhanced, because the entire nail was never covered. My mother's nails weren't fully painted. Some of the sides of her nails didn't have polish on them. read more

Terrible. I have created my yelp account just to leave this review. I came in for a pedicure and first off, the wait on a Wednesday at 12:00 was ridiculous. Once my service started the guy doing my pedicure was absolutely horrible. He was incredibly rude and SLOPPY. My water was cold and I asked if it could be warmed up, he turned on the hot water for 3 seconds then turned it off--still cold. I asked for a gel white tip and he rolled his eyes at me, staring at me as if he wanted me to change my mind. He gave a half-ass effort throughout in every aspect of the process. He didn't say anything to me during the duration of my service, and rendered a terrible job. I will not come back. Ever. read more
