Honestly, I've had a good experience before but it's just not consistent. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.. I did a manicure and pedicure. The lady painted over my cuticles on my manicure and I went to the owner. I was really unhappy to be paying $86 (plus tip) for a manicure/pedicure I could've honestly done better myself. They tried to fix it, but it's just not worth the money or time. They were really nice after I had made a big deal about it, but weren't very kind before that. It's unfortunate.
I will never step foot in this nail salon again. I am here for work and needed my nails fixed, so I figured I'd go ahead and just get them done here. Well, I went from having very cute coffin-shaped nails to this pointy, square, I just don't know what to call this $45 mess that makes my nails look as though they're too small for my fingers. The girl who did them was SO rough, she kept burning me with the friction from the nail files, then she made 7 of my fingers bleed! 10 hours later, my fingers are still throbbing. They're not sanitary in any way, either. I'm hoping I don't end up with some kind of infection from it. Then, the girl doing my nails just sat and spoke Vietnamese the whole time with a girl who wasn't working there. Not good. Terrible.
I visited this nail salon on 7/13/23 for pedicure and remove SNS on nails and replace with gel for my honeymoon. I was told MULTIPLE times I was being upcharged $15 to remove SNS. Ok I get it. The entire length of my pedicure my hands were accidentally soaked in a bowl of ALCOHOL instead of ACETONE. My hands were completely ruined for my honeymoon as they cracked and peeled the entire time. I told the lady who checked me out what happened and she decided she would give me a discount of $5 off the $15 for SNS removal upcharge. So I still paid to have my hands ruined by alcohol. Also, a 5th grader could have painted my toes better than they were done here. My gel nails chipped after a few days. DO NOT GO HERE! I understand people make mistakes but at some point businesses need to make it right. I will be finding a new salon after this experience.
This is my fifth visit. I highly recommend the collagen treatment pedicure! $40 includes callus treatment, sugar scrub, cooling mask, collagen socks, hot oil treatment, hot towel and light leg massage. Ah-mazing!
It doesn't matter how your nails look like when you walk in, when you walk out you're going to get compliments on how elegant and beautiful your nails look. They have a huge variety of colors to choose from which is great because I'm kind of picky. Their massage chairs are very nice too. I always see Diane and she does the best job ever. She always makes my nails look their very best, and she is very nice too. I've seen her for literally years and she's always done a great job. And of course they do a great job of making sure you're not going to get covid here. They check the temperature of everyone, and you can actually see people wiping down and spraying everything.
This place was great! They had really strict COVID-19 rules and made you wear a mask and wash your hands, which I really appreciate. I got acrylics with Winne and she was really nice and funny, and did a great job.
I travel here a lot for business, so I decided to try this salon since it's so close to the Aloft. All I needed was a gel polish change on my toes and it was just OK. They got me right in, and were pretty quick, however the polish job was sub par. Some of my toes have polish up onto the cuticles, while others don't have polish near the corners at all.
Thought I'd give this place a try. Definitely not the best which I was surprised because the wait was so long. It looks like I already have grow out, some nails are very misshaped and lumpy. Disappointed in the experience.
I have mixed feelings about this place... on the one hand, the actual manicure and pedicure I received was pretty well done. The polish was even and neat. They also had a big selection of OPI colors that was really well organized. The location was also great.. about 5 mins from my apartment. Now onto the cons: It was really expensive. $68 not including tip for a regular spa pedicure and gel manicure. Is this typical pricing for nails in NC? I came from California where I could get the same for around $50-55. So perhaps that's not a con, but just a lack of experience on my part. I'm not sure... They also said a gel polish change was the same price as an entire manicure. Really?? Also the technician, while nice, kept interrupting service to go check out customers and such. So a mani/pedi took about 2.5 hours. Is this normal??? Again, in CA, almost all nail salons will have a separate person doing your manicure while you're also having a pedicure. They will also have a person to run the register. So everything is finished within 1-1.5 hours. I've never had nails take longer than that regardless of whether I was getting special designs done, or a more involved pedi with massage/scrub, etc. So the service here was crazy slow. Again, maybe just a regional difference, but I really did not anticipate spending my entire afternoon here. Finally, my cuticles on my hand were done a bit roughly (see picture below). My finger was bleeding afterwards. Also the skin on the side of my big toe was scraped off with a pumice stone during my pedi. I didn't notice until I had returned home and changed shoes and looked down cuz my toe was hurting. Cons are really outweighing the pros at this point.. Not sure if I will be back.
Do not come here. They are unorganized and racist. My nails were thin and broke 2 days later. I got medium sized nails and they charged me an extra 5 for the "length". They also wouldn't fix my nail that broke and couldn't tell me how much it was to fix it. Do not waste your money. My massage chair was broken and a total of 5 people touched my hands and feet because they obviously have favorite clients.
I enjoy coming to this salon, it's very clean and everyone is always so nice and helpful. They have plenty of nail colors including a wide variety of gels. I generally went with OPI because it was easy to match the gel OPI on my nails to my toes (because I'm that chick lol, matching is essential) lol. They also have at least 10 different pedicures to choose from with optional herbs and scrubs to meet individual needs. I've never had a poor pedicure here, they've all been enjoyable. I think the hot stone is one of my favorites. I wear my nails natural so I can't speak on full sets or fill-ins. I have also always been pleased with my manicures except once. My nails were not filed to my liking and were cut too short... that time it was done by the man while every other time it was a woman (I don't have a regular person, they are well staffed so I generally take whoever is available without incident). The man however, did an awesome pedicure so maybe he's better at those over manicures, *shrug*. The prices are reasonable, I would just ask ahead your total for everything to avoid sticker shock for any potential add ons. I've also had my eyebrows waxed here a few times and was pleased. I've never felt rushed even when I'm the last and only one in the salon. The thing that keeps me from giving them a 5 star (outside of that one manicure) is that they do not do have dip powder and lack the ability/experience to do the trendy/gaudy designs I like. Once again, I understand it's about demographics etc and maybe that type of thing is not in high demand in Chapel Hill but being 10 minutes from UNC it seems as if the demand would be there. Oh well, my one grouse. I like this place and would return if for some reason I didn't go to my now regular salon (that does dip powder).
Nice environment and professional staff. Will go back again if in the area. *Beware of their extra charges on top of your service for nail trim, gel removal and other items typically included with a service.

My experience here was great! When the polish I chose was too light my pedicurist let me choose something different and repainted them, and she did a great job with my difficult ombré dip nail request! They were quick and efficient. read more

Yesterday I went for my nails to be done and because I have visited this place a few times, I felt comfortable enough with their service to have my eyebrows done to spite yesterday's trip being less than satisfactory for my girlfriend and I. First, rude staff tried taking her current polish off incorrectly and ended up telling her she needed to pay extra to get what she had off after 30 minutes of trial and error. Then, when the person waxed my eyebrows she quite literally ripped the skin off my face and the skin around my eyebrows immediately started sweating as a reaction. I instantly knew she had screwed up. Her response was, "your eyebrows look great". I'll let you be the judge. WAXERS BEWARE!!!! I am horrified!!! Update: it's day two and my gel polish has chipped. Even more annoyed now. read more

Lovely, clean atmosphere and great service. I walked in on a Monday afternoon without any appointment and was attended to within 5 minutes. I got a gel manicure and it's probably the best I've ever gotten. The esthetician really knew what she was doing and I couldn't be happier with my nails. They offer water which is really nice as well. read more

This salon has a nice looking, quiet interior with plenty of space. They always do a good job with my gel polish or pedicures. It never smells like chemicals and has always seemed very clean. I also don't usually have to wait and they allow credit card tipping, which I appreciate. read more

I really wanted to like this place. It came recommended from a friend. I called and made an appointment and specifically asked if they did LCN nails. They replied with yes. I showed up at my appointment the next day. The nice lady said to pick out a color. I explained to her that it's a pink and white LCN and that I made an appointment for a fill. I then questioned again if they were able to do my nails with the LCN. They said yes. They sat me down and filed my right hand. After that the lady stopped and called someone else over and said they don't know how to do a pink and white fill with LCN. So, now I have one hand filed down. Please, don't tell me that you are able to complete a service and then file my right hand down and then tell me you can't complete the service. Won't be returning, obviously. read more
