I called last minute for an appointment for a full set of nails and a pedicure today. She told me I…read morecould come right over. I was directed to a man named Don. Well let me say he kept checking with me if the shape was what I wanted and honestly I was a bit of a pain. Not rudely but I had a certain shape in mind. He kept filing until it was perfect! He is meticulous in his work. Constantly checking and rechecking the length and the hand painted French manicure to make sure all of my fingernails matched. He did the same with my pedicure. I have found my salon and my technician and I couldn't be happier! Make sure you give Royal Nails a try and ask for Don!

I'm only knocking a star off the review because the other staff (Not Maria, she was the only one to smile and greet me) was so rude. I walked in and was stared at by staff and not greeted once! Mind you I called and asked if I could come in at that time and they happily said "of course see you then." When I walked in Not one person said hello, not one person asked me what I wanted, and there was at least 5 workers by the door on their phones looking at me side ways. After I sat down lady came after me was walking to her pedicure chair when a work said "ma'am sit down" with attitude. It was just an off feeling in there, however Maria made it all better! She was so sweet and welcoming! Will be back for her forsure

I made an appointment online for a one hour service for a pedicure. I haven't gotten one in a few…read moremonths so I knew I needed the extra time, especially as I've been running a lot lately and need extra attention on my heels. When I walked in, the salon was packed and decorated very nicely. I was immediately greeted at the door and was asked what I needed, I told the man up front I made an appointment for a pedicure and he sat me down right away. I waited in the chair about 10 minutes before my technician came to start working, that wasn't a problem. However, once she started, I could tell she wasn't really trying. Everything felt very rushed and like not much thought was put into it. The foot scrub lasted a total of 10 seconds, and I left with my feet in the same condition I came in with. My technician was talking to another technician who sat in the chair next to me the whole time, and my tech was pointing to my heels and talking about me to her. I felt very uncomfortable. After about 25 minutes she was already painting my toes. I asked for white, (i think the easiest request) and walked out with this terrible streaky light gray color, that makes my nails look dingy. I'm very upset because the salon had good vibes, but these two technicians ruined it completely for me. I'm also confused by the price, because I got the basic pedicure (given the service I received, not requested) which the sign next to the chair says $35, +$2 for gel, but was charged $45.

Alpha Nails has become my standard for nail salons - there, I said it! After re-reading everything…read morethat I said in 2017, I can firmly say that my old review still stands true (and I encourage you to read it). I wish I can take this place and transplant it to my hometown up north. And yes, I am THAT PERSON who will shift her schedule to come down here just to get my nails done - call me crazy, but I gotta do what I gotta do! So, first things first - Alpha Nails is not a fancy salon, but it does its job. It's a salon for the working woman (and well-groomed working man / person). I am sure there are bougier salons in the area if you want a place that's more *aesthetic.* This is a salon that takes a large volume of customers and offers a wide array of services. In fact, that's probably the best part about this place - you rarely wait for your appointment (unless it's peak time in summer and the place is slammed) and you are out quickly for most services - not to mention, the prices are extremely fair. They will take walk-ins but in the summer, this place gets super packed. I've been to a few techs here, but I always return to Anna. She's THE BEST nail artist I've ever been to. Whether the design is simple or complex, Anna continually delivers (seem some of my photos for proof). I do not know how she works her magic with that little paintbrush of hers - it's actually insane. In addition, I can push my nails to six weeks after she's done (which I don't recommend, but sometimes I am desperate) and they will NOT BUDGE. They have NEVER fallen off! She has also occasionally called me personally if there is a time issue - because she knows I am traveling from up north - which I think is such a thoughtful gesture. (PS - I usually do a gel mani with her!) In addition, now that I've gotten to know Alpha Nails, they are so incredibly warm and welcoming to their returning customers. They were hospitable when they didn't know me personally, but now that I've been coming here since 2017 (yikes! time flies), there is a different level of congeniality. They treat their returning customers well - and that's a sign of a good business! Several customers here are summerbirds (like me) and they always return to Alpha Nails. I've also gotten my eyebrows waxed here and pedicures. I will admit they've cut back on their standard pedicure over the last few years (who hasn't cut back), but their spa pedicures are totally worth it if you want to splurge. In a way, Alpha Nails has ruined my experience for other nail salons because I will forever compare all other salons to this one. This is a family-run local business that I am proud to support!

I wanted someone with years of experience that would listen and understand my concerns. I did not want the Farrah flips and yellow steaks, I wanted a youthful yet appropriate haircut/style for my age. KELLY DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I felt a sense of calm and trust from the moment she (the owner) washed my hair, brought me over to her chair which she refers to her little living room and spoke with me. Kelly asked what I would like, what she suggested based on my thoughts and created magic. This was the best haircut I have ever received. I am able to style it the same way she did with ease, it is healthy and appears fuller. Long layers, face framing, perfect length. Highly recommend Kelly, she just gets it.
