Mine and my roommates favorite nail place in Birmingham! After going to basecoat on fifth and a few other places and paying $75+ for some basic gel nails, we decided to try somewhere new. We ended up going here and being able to walk right in. After a little wait, they got started on our nails and they did an AMAZING job! Plus all the workers there were very sweet and funny. Nails were a good price and they lasted a little over 2 and a half weeks. Will definitely be back. P.S while we were there some man kept calling the store asking weird questions and trying to talk to all the employees. Felt like I was on a TV show. So very entertaining, adds brownie points. read more

I made an appointment, and no one was able to start on my nails until 30 min after my appointment time. This is the 2nd time I've made an appointment and had to wait 30 minutes for my service. My nails are not uniformly shaped. My thumb and pointer are way thicker than my other nails. I would love to have a positive experience at this salon, but it doesn't seem like they are motivated to make the necessary changes. read more

NEVER book with Naty Mondragon, she was horrible. Not only was she rude but she left my nails clumpy. She is also a online bully, made fun of somebody's weight and overall is a mean person. The salon itself was nice and the staff was amazing. Naty just ruined the vibe for me. I will be going back just never going again with Naty. read more

nails are lumpy. The underneath of them are caked up with nail gel glue it hangs over my nail part on my skin.(not including when set with uv lamp it felt like my fingers where on fire when something was said I was ignored. I have a high pain tolerance but I shouldnt be in pain getting my nails done )I asked the lady if she could grind down the gel over hang over on my fingers . She very aggressively got a pair of cutters and grabbed the gel glue that was hardened in the underneaths and start yanking on it instead of cutting it. it bruised two of my nails and was very painful. I had to stop her mid process and just told her it was fine I'll do it myself. she then told me water will wash it off. WATER?! washing off gel cured nail glue?! of course it's not going to. she was in training, and I have no issue with that but why would I pay full price for someone who can not do full quality work?? one of my nails where very crooked and I pointed it out. instead of fixing it, it was filled down so much to ' straighten ' it out. it looks to be half the size as the same one on my other finger. I was very disappointed at the customer service and the quality of work. I'm still trying to get the nail gel glue out from underneath my fingers. It's hard to find a nail salon that's nice and does good work. This is not one that I will be going back to. read more

Nara is amazing!!! She does a TRUE Russian manicure and leaves your cuticles looking soooo good! I am going on week #3 and my nails still look amazing. She also does beautiful nail art like I have never seen before! Like an artist painting on canvas rather than just basic nail art. 10/10!!!! read more

Love Quynh so much! She's done my nails for years - I followed her each time she changed salons and was SO thrilled when she got her own. I've driven an hour round trip regularly for my pedicures (passing dozens of other salons) because I trust no one to care for my toes like Quynh! I work long events on my feet as a photographer and she always makes sure I don't have any ingrown nails or painful places. She won't stop until she's certain my feet are in great shape. She and all her techs are so sweet and they all do great work! read more

I have become a regular over the past year here! I see Quynh for full set/acrylics every time. I bring in so many different colors, designs, and ideas each time- she executes it so well. My roommate goes to Paige for gel manicures regularly and is also always pleased when she walks away from the salon. Paige and Quynh do a great job with pedicures and they have a new one with CBD products that I need to try. All their other artists have regular clients as well, but I haven't been to them personally. They are flexible to fit me in same/next day with little notice and are very friendly. Absolutely a returning customer and will remain that way! read more

I went for a pedi and mani and left with a foot infection if I could post pictures of my foot I would! I talk with the owner and she didn't apologize or accommodate me for the mistake they made!!!! read more

What a perfect why to spend the morning!! I'm in from out of town and wanted to get my nails done while my husband was working in Birmingham. I called Lena when they opened and she was able to get me in right away. Make sure you call for an appointment! Lena was so welcoming and friendly! She also did an excellent job on my nails. Everything about this experience exceeded expectations. I was greeted immediately with a beverage. They had a TON of polish color options. And she even gave me some coupons for my hubby and I to use while in town! Whenever I'm back in Birmingham, I'll be sure to stop by again and visit. read more

My friend and I decided last minute to get matching gel manicures and let me tell you, we were not disappointed! First of all, our nails look amazing and very precise. The staff was super friendly and although they were busy (typical for a Sunday), they ensured that each person was taken care of. They also were enjoyable to be around. They helped time go by quick with good conversation and a positive attitude! Will definitely be going back! read more

Today was my first visit to Lakeshore Nails & Spa. I had been going to another salon, but wasn't happy with my last visit for how much I paid and decided to try a new place. Upon arrival, I was impressed by the set up as it doesn't look like your typical nail salon. The decorations and style of the overall salon was more modern and hip I guess you could say. It was nice to just see something a little different you know? Clean, relaxing atmosphere. And I was also able to meet the cutest little pup named Neal who hangs out at the salon. I was immediately greeted and seated. They offered me different refreshments too. Normally, I feel rushed when I get my nails done. It's usually a mad dash to pick a color and then bada-boom-bada-bam-out you go. Not here. I felt I could relax and take my time to enjoy my session. Lena, the owner and the one who did my nails, was so personable and easy to converse with. She took time to really work on my nails to make sure I was absolutely happy with them. And the job she did with my gel manicure, extremely well done!!! I normally don't leave lengthy reviews, but I felt it was important I express how pleased i was with my visit. I will definitely be going back again. - One Happy Customer read more

First of all, I made an appointment for SNS manicure and the guy that saw me only gave me the SNS polish. No cuticle cuts, lotion, massage, etc. When I asked him to cut my cuticles politely he said "it's too late" before even putting the main polish on. Then, he doesn't even wash off my hands so my finger tips are black. Never going back again. Paid $40 for this crap. read more

Was a frequent customer until I acquired a nail fungus during my last visit that took 2 weeks to repair. Eventually learned that the expenses could've been saved with a small foot tub and polish. Never. Again. read more

Tried going here twice. First time the door was open, some signs on, but looked like they were doing cleaning touch ups. No one there and a painter finally poked his head from the back to say they were closed. No sign on the door saying they were renovating/changing management. Ok, guess I can understand that. Second time I attempted to go in after all the newly opened special signs everywhere showed they were back open, I get turned away because the one tech greets me saying they are short staffed... there was only 2 ladies in there. So you open up only to turn business away? Makes sense. I won't make a third wasted trip being greeted so rudely and told they don't have time. read more

Lena does an amazing job doing nails. I'm never disappointed and she makes sure you never leave disappointed. Her shop is clean and her methods are sanitary. She has a large selection of SNS, Gel, and nail polishes. She DOES NOT use Acrylic in her shop. One thing in particular that I enjoy is being able to match my fingernails(Gel or SNS) and toenails (regular polish). Lena also does wax services. Her prices are reasonable and she runs specials. She even has special events for her clients during the holidays. As stated on the page, this shop is APPOINTMENT ONLY, so please call or text ahead for an appointment. read more

When I first started going here 3 months ago Quyhun was very nice, personable, & professional. Due to her having appointments I was placed in the care of one of her employees for second time and today he rushed through the layover of acrylic because he had a client. I went to let her know that I would be leaving and asked how much was my ticket for just an overlay. She asked did I want to go ahead and get my unfilled hands polished stating it would only be $55. This shows me that it was all about the money. Also if this business only wants to go by appointments then they should stop walk ins and place that on their site so they won't give terrible service to loyal clients! read more

Lena is such a lovely person. I had the very best pedicure there! Can't wait for the next one!

I was driving by and notice there sign from the highway. I was skeptical at first. I checked yelp and there was also great reviews listed. I decided to call spoke with the owner of the business Lena who invited me to come in for the managers special. I turned around decided to stop in. When I entered I was greeted by Kesha who also works there. She was very nice. She actually ended up doing by nails and pedicure. I do recommend others to visit the business. I did express that I was no longer going to my usual place in the Galleria. It was much nicer and gives you a zin feeling. They also have multiple polishes to choose from. Love my experience! read more

Great experience! Decided to get a mani/pedi and brow wax while in town. Found this place on Yelp, so glad I did (thanks yelpers). Lena and Kesha were fantastic. Very personable and funny. I love that it was by appointment so I didnt feel at all rushed. Will definitely return next time I'm in town. My nails look fantastic! read more

To say the least I will never be coming back. It was the worst nail experience I have ever had. The workers were rude and my dip manicure lasted two days. The technician was inconsiderate and acted miserable the whole time doing my nails. She also didn't listen to what I wanted to be done to my nails and proceeded to do what she thought would look best. Well they were the worst nails i have ever gotten done and I will never be returning to this salon ever again. Overall terrible experience. read more

Everyone was polite. Facility was clean. Wide range of colors.The woman doing my manicure frequently walked away, took phone calls and seemed hurried during the manicure. She left gel on the skin surrounding my nails, didn't paint to the edges or have a smooth line by the cuticle. In less than one week my gel nails are chipping. read more

If I lived in Birmingham, Lena would be my girl! On a vacation in Birmingham, my nails were in dire need of a redo. I came in and Lena was very nice and did a stellar job on my nails! I highly recommend!! read more

I have visited to get my nails done about 3-4 times now and every time has been a great experience. The spa is clean and relaxing, the service is always friendly and professional, and I am always pleased with the results! I'll continue to come back to Lakeshore Nails and Spa and highly recommend it to anyone in the Birmingham area looking for a relaxing nail salon. read more

Lena, Keisha, and Lexi were amazing! I booked a pedi appointment x3 for my mom, sister and me, and we loved it! The ladies took their time to make sure they did a job they were proud to show off. I have never received such a perfect and detail oriented pedicure before- and I can't wait to come back. Furthermore, because her salon is acrylic free- no strong odors from her salon- fresh natural air! Last but not least- these ladies were super personable and hilarious. No forced conversation- just friendly banter that had us laughing until our sides hurt. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the salon, this is what a nail salon should be. read more

Went for a pedicure only and once the pedicure was done had to wait 45 minutes to get my toes painted. Couldn't wait much longer so left without my toes being painted and still had to pay full price. Would not recommend. read more

Great staff and they took their time. Pedicure and football. Great way to spend a Saturday Morning with your lady..

I went on a Thursday to get gel nails and a classic pedicure. Pedicure was great but by Monday (4 days later) one of the gel nails had an air bubble which has popped and four other nails are already peeling up. Very disappointed; my last set of gel nails from another location lasted me almost 4 weeks with no peeling. I will not be going back, my friend got acrylics with gel polish and they also look terrible and when asked to fix they did not want to. read more

DONT GO HERE!! They should not offer the children's pedicure at all because they are not equipped to offer that service. I did a walk in with my daughter. We waited over an hour and watched the appointment clients get treated fairly and professionally (even offered water) while we weren't. They pick and choose who does what service instead of going on order of who arrived. My seasonal pedi lasted 40 min Including the time it took to remove my gel and repaint my toes with gel polish. (about 20 min) I watched the woman before me get pampered for an hour and 15 minutes. My daughters pedi was $25 and lasted 15 min if that. No bubblegum smelling foot wash no anything that resembled to Childs pedicure. She was seated in an uncomfortable position and they were very friendly. No massage. Nothing. Once I voiced that I felt like she was being treated unfairly they still insisted on charging full price instead of fixing the service or discounting what wasn't done in the first place. Strongly hated it. I'm a licensed cosmetologist, please trust me when I say I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!! read more

My nail turned out great. The salon is minimally staffed so I had to wait a while but it was worth it. The girls working their were personable and went above and beyond to make I was taken care of. read more

I would love to try this place and may even change my review once I do. One thing I don't like is when a business advertises hours and say walk ins are welcome and when I show up there is a sign saying call for an appointment. Please advertise such straight away so others can plan accordingly. Saturday's and Sunday's are the only days I can (I work too) and it is quite a disappointment to find out this information while sitting outside the business. read more

Me and my 2 friends just got gel manicures and had the most amazing time! The nail techs were like our best friends! They were so nice and attentive to our needs. I highly highly recommend this nail salon! read more

Went here yesterday to get my eyebrows waxed. The inexperienced person ended up butchering my brows, cutting my skins, as well as burning me with wax. Not to mention when I got home there was wax all over my clothes. Great place for nail services, just not waxing. read more

Had a lot of fun getting a pedicure with Lena and Keisha. Friendly & thorough, loads of colors to choose from, and a cute, calm puppy! It was a great therapeutic trip with the massage and relaxing atmosphere. read more
