I find their services to be the best in the area. They are friendly and professional. And as their customer, I have a lot of choice. I have happy feet when I leave. Thank you Miss Lynne read more

Took my daughter and granddaughter today for my granddaughters first nail salon experience. It was a great experience from beginning to end. The SNS dip manicure is excellent and I got the cutest ladybug design. My pedicure was great and. Ant wait to go back for a full service pedi when I have time. They were so sweet to my 6 year old granddaughter and she loved every minute of the pampering. read more

Lee Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Southport, North Carolina

Dee and the lovely lady did a nice job once again. I'm heading to LA this week and needed my nails/toes done. I always make a first morning appointment, so it can get done at the same time. Shop is always clean and they do a nice job. Price is in line or a little less than most places here. read more

i loved it here they did such a good job!! ive only gotten my nails done twice and by far this is my favorite. everyone there was so nice and overall the place had an amazing atmosphere i would 100% recommend for anyone in town! read more

Worst service ever! First burner me with the nail grindet left polish spots on the nails. Cut me 4 times with the nail grinder. Did not prepare my cuticles even after he was asked to do so. Then, I used the nail grinder on my cuticles after applying acrylic, which cut me. Did not clean between clients, had me set down in a dirty table of someone that had just finished. Did not clean dust after filing or off his hands, so nail color was full of dust. Had to ask for cuticle oil. I brought in a nail decal since they are clueless about nail art and asked to apply prior to the top coat and charged $5.00 per nail. He did nothing but stick the sticker down. I had to ask for two top coats because one does not seal and hold up after their aggressive filing. My fingers have been sore now for four days with cuts and burns. Health Department needs to check out their place. Don't go there. Update 1-24-2023: I went to a great saloon in Shallotte to get my nails filled and repaired. In taking off the polish off, I ended up with fungus under two nails. This place caused this by not properly cleaning their space, between clients and using dirty tools, and not properly preparing my nails. Horrible place. If you want fungus, try them out! read more

Don't be fooled by the negative reviews. Everyone has a different experience and I'm sure there may have been a few poor showings. It's a shame people only choose to review when they have a negative experience. If anything, the fact that it's so rare that someone comes on Yelp to review should be an indicator of how great this place is. Hypothetically, if 100 people visit per week, 5,200 visits per year.... then one little negative review in that time period shouldn't dissuade you. I had a pedicure today with my Dad. I've been to several different salons for pedicures and yes - I'm a dude. So no, I can't review female manicure performance. But my mother can. And she shares my sentiment - they're a great nail salon. They'll get the job done. Go enjoy yourself. ...Maybe no bells and whistles like the uptight reviewer Annette R expects (which if you peruse her reviews you'll find she gave McDonalds a 1-star review. Who does that? I mean what do you expect? A freaking Michelin rated experience???) Seriously these people are such haters. Amy D's mother either has Alzheimer's since she recollected a fake story to her daughter, or she actually bought a cat and embarrassingly doesn't want to admit it. Come on - who believes someone wouldn't stop a painful rub if asked?? Hater. Sandy D - do you want your nails done in the sterile room of a hospital? Jesus grow up. Nail files are regularly used and cleaned. Just because they don't vacuum seal their tools for you doesn't meant it's not hygienic. Tina L is definitely a fake profile. Just not as discreetly disguised as Brigette R who is trying to knock out competition for her T Nails salon. She posted two reviews on the same day slamming Lee Nails while praising her T Nails loyalty for three years of service. Liar! Do your research folks. It's so easy to trash a reputable business on Yelp. Especially the smaller ones like this. read more

I took my Mom for Mother's Day, we had a lovely time, great service, special attention to our needs. We got beautiful pedicures.

My go to for any nail service! They have the best staff! Love going once a month to get my pedicure.

Worst manicure I've ever received. I kept saying that I simply wanted a clear manicure. They kept trying to get me to do more but I kept saying clear. Just plain clear polish. Very simple. This was the result and you can see the horrible pink tint and the shoddy job on my cuticles. The shaping is horrible. They offered to do it over but I had already been sitting in the chair for over an hour and a half and was so disgusted that I just had to leave. I'll pay to get it done right elsewhere. read more

Nail tech had an attitude problem, did not clean up my nails after he finished. Would not recommend

They always do a good job. My nails always look great! Absolutely loved the pedicure. It wasn't rushed so I felt like I got my moneys worth. Everyone there is really nice. read more

Was a little hesitant to come here as some of the reviews were really bad, like one star level. However, reading some of the recent reviews made me decide to give this place a try. And boy can I say I am happy I did. Three things to note: 1. They have new owners! I don't know who the previous owners were, but the new people are AMAZING! 2. The shop is clean and fits my standards. Usually, I do not like nail salons simply because I don't know how clean they are and I don't want to contract any diseases that someone else may have, but I was beyond impressed. 3. The employees and the level of professionalism they have is amazing. Not going to lie, sometimes Asians can come off as aggressive, even if they don't purposely mean to. However, I never got that from anybody in here. This salon actually made me feel comfortable and truly enjoy my stay. 5 out of 5! Definitely recommend to a friend or two! read more

I had a wonderful experiences at Lee's, I was a little skeptical looking at some of the reviews but I had come to find that Lee's has recently had a change in ownership and everything is fresh and new! New employees, new technicians and a wonderful outlook on their business is what I had been hearing. My experience was wonderful and I had the pleasure of being done by Kent who was very knowledgeable and gave me a wonderful wonderful mani/pedi! Definitely going to come by again for the great service and genuine hospitality that Lee's served me. Can't wait to come again and bring my mother along too! read more

The quickest pedicure I have ever had. Did not remove old polish. No salt in tub. Should have just asked for a color change.

Decided to get a pedi with my husband for our anniversary while staying in Oak Island. We found this salon online. A basic pedi is $25 but the deluxe for $40 was worth the difference. We were seated right away on a Saturday around noon. They took their time with us, massaging our legs and feet. It took about an hour and was very relaxing. There is a nice variety of colors of nail polish and the seats are comfy. Staff is friendly. read more

we went here while on vacation and the staff was very kind and super personable! 10/10 recommend they did a great job too!!

Had a pedicure and wax. Not as clean as other nail spas I've been to. Was disappointed to find the nail file was well worn. I don't imagine the equipment was sterile. Usually if it is it comes in plastic. The pedicurist carried all in a tub. The man who gave me a pedicure took his time and did a wonderful foot and leg massage. The waxing was very quick and wasn't as thorough as others I've gone to. Will not go back because of cleanliness issue. read more

Came in for mani pedicure today. I think the man who took care of me was half asleep. He hardly asked any questions except to try to up sell me on pedicure. My manicure was hardly that and after filing my nails he was going to put polish on, no cleaning of nails. It was terrible. The ladies there do a much better job! read more

Still not the SNS manicure I used to get in Charlotte. The place is pretty clean, appears to be family owned and operated with lots of services. It was busy this am and I did make an appointment in advance. Prices are about average-40$for SNS and $25 for basic pedi. They could see that the existing manicure was bad- way too thick, bad nail shape I did not like soaking my fingers in acetone. I'm used to foil wrapped acetone soaked cotton balls to soften the polish. I also was disappointed that the man doing my nails had very dirty hands. To the point that it looks like some of the grime is now incorporated into my manicure. Ugh. The pedicure was simple- I just wanted the gel polish off because it had already started peeling from the previous pedicure. The young lady took off just about all the polish and trimmed the nails etc. I was bummed that she only used an emery board on my heels. Usually they bring out the cheese grater for my nasty feet, but not today. I got a swell foot massage and was not even offered hand cream for post mani moisturizing especially since I had soaked my fingers in polish remover for a good 10 -15 minutes. They gave it a go and many folks left happy. Just not me. read more

had gel polish put on on Sunday and it started speaking off on Friday and then really coming up on Saturday. Do not recommend this place!

I went into the nail salon to get a mani pedi and it went well. No complaints very straight forward service and left!

I don't normally write reviews unless I'm really happy or really disappointed. When I walked in to this nail spa it was 6:15 pm and they close at 7:00 pm. I was pleased to hear they could squeeze me in for a pedicure. I started getting discouraged after soaking my feet for half an hour and the water turned cold. There was only one lady doing pedicures who was occupied with another customer and I just about walked out. I'm very glad I didn't. I got the best pedicure I've ever had. I wanted a Fourth of July theme and I showed her a picture and that is what I got. She was very skilled and gentle and gave the best foot and leg rub, all with a smile. She did not rush, even though at this point it was past closing time. Very nice people here. Very attentive. Cleanliness seemed to be a priority. $25.00 for the pedi. I will definitely be back. read more

Had to make a Yelp account for this . The place is under new management . And it's wonderful . The workers were straight and got it done , while holding up a conversation with me . I felt included in . Nice and clean . The prices are fair . Compared to other nail salon the prices were great . What more could I ask for . read more

This place is no good...my basic complaint - they rushed both the mani & pedi which as a result ended up with slopped on color that did not dry correctly and jagged edges that I feared I might scratch myself with. Here's the step by step breakdown of where things went wrong: They are surprisingly busy but clearly do not want you to go across the street to the other salon so they over-promise on wait times. They filed my nails with a super coarse file which left rough edges that I had to take care of myself afterwards! They use this awful peppermint lotion that you might be ok with for your feet...but when he proceeded to put it on my hands *gasp*! Lastly the paint job was rushed, super thick due to sloppy spreading of the polish, I even got shellac on my nails and there is a huge bubble on one!! Oh and they mix the shellac / gel products, which just makes me wary... In spite of all the "speed" i still couldn't run out of there fast enough. Willtry to go back today and show them the mess they made if i have the patience to sit through it again. Trust the bad reviews on this one, ladies! read more

This is an excellent place to get any kind of manicure or pedicure! The staff was changed 1 1/2 years ago, for the better! They have updated all the equipment and make sure everything is sanitary! My nail technician is Tara and she is fantastic and very knowledgeable! I know from friends that I have sent there that the other technicians are great, too! Try them and see for yourself! Always a pleasure, Steve and Tara! Nancy read more

Lee's nails is unparalleled when it comes to cleanliness, quality and ease of service. I got the best mani/pedi of my life for a very reasonable price. The technician was extremely skilled and polite; she even massaged my feet and legs during the pedicure. It's clear that this establishment has benefited from new management. I will definitely be back soon! read more

Steve was fantastic! He did a wonderful job on my nails. ask for Steve when you come here!

Visited 3 times for gel nail fill ins and each time too much gel applied. One gentleman did me twice and the way he applied the gel caused my nails to curl inward on sides which is very painful. Don't think he was trained. Will not return or recommend. read more

This place sucks bilge-water. Thought it was OK since there were 5 other ladies in the place already.. no line at all, nobody waiting.. My cuticles were cut nearly off and completely off to the point of bleeding on TWO fingers, fellow who pretended to not understand any English pulled out some green liquid and put a drop on each one and it stung and burned for a half hour, never once apologized for removing the cuticles to the quick. On top of that, my pretty pink Gel polish was treated with a horrible topcoat that REACTED TO THE SUNLIGHT and turned milky white, whiter and whiter each time I went outside.. Horrible. I'm so glad that I did NOT have a pedicure, I'm sure I would have gotten a fungus. Please DO NOT GO.... read more

It was an okay experience...friendly but burnt my feet with the hot rocks after telling them it was too hot three times, they didn't ask about my manicure and didn't even trim my nails and now I've had to go get them redone because they are way too long and I asked them and they ignored me... and my hell nails peeled the next day... over priced and under severed. Huge waste of $100 that I basically had to get redone 4 days later read more

I had one pedicure experience better than this and it cost $100. So... for the $25 it was top-notch!! I went in for a manicure and the guy was so nice I agreed to pedicure too. He spent time and gave me a good massage with each. He didn't try to sell me expensive things or nail art, but I am sure they can do it all. I was more than satisfied in their humor and friendliness as well. Some places can make you feel uncomfortable with the native language being overused in front of customers (makes you feel left out or can even make someone feel paranoid). This is not the case here. English was definitely the primary language in the shop. I like that. I did not hear them promise anyone wait times so I cant comment on that. They were efficient but I don't think any of the 6 ladies receiving services during my time felt rushed. My natural nails look amazing and they did a great job on someone's gel nails while I was there. They took the time to soak someone's gel nails off instead of just filing them down which leads to healthier nails. I was glad to see that. The shop appeared clean. I am glad I live nearby as I will be frequenting this shop. I spoke to someone in there that used to go to T-Nails and they stopped going because of the drama between the husband and wife supposedly. I have never been but will not go because of their experience. Hope this helps. read more

Went to Lee Nails and first thing water never got warm. Then the technician put the packet of instruments down and I work in Central Sterile at a hospital, so I picked them up and they were never sterilized. I told her this and she and the other lady working there told me they were cleaned. I explained to them the process of sterilization. When you Sterilize instruments the packet arrows turns color. That's how you know they are done right and sterile. You also put an indicator strip in the packet and it also turns a different color from pink or blue to dark gray or black. The arrows are pink & blue, when the packet of instruments are put in autoclave the arrows turn dark gray or black. I asked the tech again about how they sterilized instruments and she told me they were cleaned. I don't think they know how or maybe do not care. I said yes, they may have been cleaned but you need to use your autoclave. Another women that was working there thought I was crazy. They got very mad and started to talk their language back and forth, I left and would be very careful of that place. Beware of infections!!!!!! Beware of Lee Nails Had to give this a 1 star or it would not let me post this very important post. I give this nail salon a thumbs down!!!! read more

They messed up my nails super bad, they are all crooked, and while the guy was filing my nails he cut me

My granddaughter and I decided on the spur of the moment to get pedicures, and went into the first place we spotted. We were immediately seated.,no waiting. The employees were friendly, 2 appeared to not speak much english, the third was talkative and humerous. No complaints about the pedi, LOVED the massage chair, and my feet are silky and look great. A full hour, no rush. Will definitely be back, we were both impressed and happy with the results. read more

LOVED IT! They were fast and accommodating for our group (3 adults and 1 child). We started out just asking for pedicures (which are only $25... How awesome!) and then 3/4 of us got manicures, too. There are 6 chairs for Pedis, and 5 for Manis but it will depend on how many employees they have working at the time. We came at the perfect time (no wait) but then a bunch of people came right after us and had a much longer wait. They were fantastic with my daughter (who is 4) and we all love our nails! We were staying in nearby Oak Island and would definitely return here for our Pedi/Manis in the future! read more

We are new to the area and decided to check out a local spot for a pedicure. There were some sparse, seemingly good reviews about Lee Nails, so we decided to check it out. There was no wait, which was nice. The lady filled my tub and let my feet soak for a bit. There was a fridge of water, but it was never offered. She proceeded with the pedicure and I have never felt such pain as she dug into my cuticles. Pushing them back was rushed and a bit painful, but that was nothing compared to the tool she used to dig into my cuticles and the sides of my nails. You would think she would be a bit gentler once 2 of my toes started to bleed, but the painful pace was kept up. Normally when I get my toes done, there is a list of services offered, a basic package, a premium package, etc. I did not have any options to choose from so I guess what I got was pretty basic. There is normally some sort of salt or sugar scrub involved with even the basic of packages, but all I got was a quick, over lotioned "rub" (I wouldnt even call it a massage) and instead of rubbing in the lotion, it was wiped off with a luke-warm towel. The paint seems pretty good, though I just got the pedicure today. My nails were cut a bit shorter than I specified, but I was happy with whatever happened after the pseudo archaeological dig that occured in my nail bed. My sister also was getting a pedicure and she bled on a few toes too, was not offered anything to drink, and when it came to the scrubbing of the feet, the tech said "no, no" and skipped it altogether! Also, neither one of us had a callous scrub, one of the reasons we go as our heels get dry during the summer. Also, my sister's tech left half way through the pedicure to rub the hands of someone getting a manicure by another tech...why couldn't the manicure tech rub the hands of the woman instead of bringing in an outsider? I dont know. Needless to say, despite the somewhat good reviews, we most likely won't be back. read more

I didn't give 5 stars simply because there was a line out the door and we had to wait quite a while but I guess that's what happens when you do a great job. I loved my manicure and it has lasted longer than any other manicure I've ever had! Would love to go back there if I lived in the area. read more

Won't go back. Gel polish peeled after a week, so I returned for a polish change. They were unpleasant and told me it was my own fault. No thanks. read more

I just got a pedicure at Lee Nails! It was so relaxing. My job requires me to be on my feet all day and the foot and leg massage was just what I needed. I went with CAJUN SHRIMP for color. So summery. I will definitely return. read more
