I went in with the most painful ingrown toe nail that I've ever had, so bad that the pressure of the bedcovers hurt. Michelle worked until she got it out. Thank you, Michelle! I've been to many salons in many towns, and Long Leaf Nails is my favorite! read more

I've been going there for 8-10 years and have only praise for the employees and services!!!!

Just walked out of this place after waiting 15 minutes with an appointment. Not sure why I made one. Super unfriendly girl working up front that didn't even acknowledge me when I walked in. There's too many nail places in the area to put up with that. read more

John and Michelle are excellent. This is the only place I go to get my nails done. The salon is ALWAYS clean and that's one of the biggest factors for me in choosing a nail salon. So many in the past start out new and clean and then they let it go. LLN replaces the furniture, wipes down all is the surfaces regularly. There is no nail dust or dirty work stations. I love that. Second to that John always makes my nails look Amazing. They're not thick with polish or mishaped. They are consistently great. read more

If you have read any of my reviews about mail places, I have had some horror stories! Well, this was anything but horror today! I am in love with this place! As far as cleanliness- cleanest nail salon I have EVER saw. The staff even wear uniforms with the logo on it which seemed very professional to me. The owner, Michelle did my fill in. She was great to talk to and a master at nails. They charge the same price for a fill in for gel and acrylic. Tina did my pedicure. Best pedicure of my life. Her massage, her care of what she was doing and the chair were perfect! I got the signature pedicure and it was about an hour long. The decor of the place was so relaxing and I just couldn't get over how nice it was. There were a lot of people left waiting which shows me that they do great business but my friend and I had an appointment and we got right in. I will definitely be back!! read more

Consistently good service and quality. I typically get acrylics and gel polish. I'm again overdue- 4 weeks since my last fill and although the growth is noticeable (obviously), the color has held up very well w/ little to no chips and/or fading. And that's with me painting my house, gardening and bathing my dog! read more

Update. This is the fourth time I have visited. Love Michelle as she takes pride in what she does. read more

Long Leaf Nail - Update. This is my salon now. I have been four times since my initial review. I love Michelle. - Nail Salons Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

This is hands down the best nail shop in town. I've been coming here for years and always superb service. Would highly recommend.

I've been going there for a few years but was reprimanded when I went to the wrong section & there were many women there! It was inappropriate & demeaning - I always tipped well but will not return. One goes there to relax & feel good - never again. read more

Michelle is absolutely wonderful. The salon is clean and well managed. Thank you, Long Leaf Najl!

Sexual harassment from male technician! I (39 weeks pregnant) went in there to get a mani pedi yesterday for the big day. One of the male techs worked on me and had the audacity to ask "being pregnant do you get a tingly feeing when you have sex?" Absolutely out of line comment. When brought up with management they claimed the tech did not say such a thing and sided with him and refused a refund. I have been in there before without issue but they seemed to show their true colors yesterday. What a traumatic experience! PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS! read more

I've been here three times and I actually never write bad reviews but I'm so disappointed I feel that I have to. I've never had a great experience here but needed to get a mani quick by my house. When I told the lady doing my nails what color I wanted she cringed and made a disgusted sound, telling me it's really bright and won't look good. Then proceeded to complain the whole time about how short my nails were. Shaped them horribly and asked me again why I picked that color. At check out the desk girl told me I can't tip on the card but if I wanted to go to Harris Teeter and get cash that would be great. Needless to say that for sure did not happen. Tip: Find another place to go unless you like being mentally abused as you are getting a manicure. read more

Very rude staff. Kept stopping in the middle of my manicure to have a conversation and to talk on the phone, and made no effort to be gentle. They made me bleed! Only person there who was sweet was Cassie. read more

Mediocre nails for a high price and the staff wasn't friendly except the owner. Nails don't really last long

Came here for a basic pedicure. Got a brand new person that didn't do a great job. No callous removal, didn't cut my nails at all and I've been here for an hour and 20 minutes. So impatient. Looks like others "know what they are doing". I may give them another try with an experienced technician. It is clean and the chairs are nice. read more

Long leaf nail is not my normal nail place. I usually go to L.V nails in Wrightsville Beach. My mom made appointments for her, my sister, and I to get our nails done there. I had a bad experience before, what happened was the gel came right off my finger nails not even a week later. But I wanted to give it another try because that was a couple of years ago. So I went back very sweet people!!! But then once they started my nails they made my cuticles bleed so much!!! Then messed up on my manicure and took all of it off. Made me soak my hands in finger nail polish remover and it was burning so bad because my cuticles were hurting so bad!! Then the guy made me sit there for 30 minutes and went to do another customers nails. Then someone else redid mine then hurt my cuticles even worse. Super sweet people just not very good service. read more

I have gone twice for gel nails with John. Just made my appointment for a fill in. I have been VERY happy with the results!! I tried gel quite a few years ago and was very unhappy with the results. I am sure the quality of the products used had improved, but more noticeable to me is the care and precision that John has in producing my now gorgeous nails! read more

It was unusual to see a line of men doing pedicures manicures!! But they did a great job!

I've been coming here since 2010 and every experience has been wonderful!! John and Michelle are so nice and their staff is always attentive and courteous. I always choose the French manicure gel over my natural nails and French pedicure Shellac for my pedicure. Beautiful results that last and last. Can't imagine ever going any place else. 5 stars!! read more

Michelle is so friendly and ensured my nails were perfect before I left out. It was a last minute decision to drop in.

Michelle and John are amazing, this is the best nail studio in Wilmington . Call ahead or walk in, do yourself a favor and this will be your nail salon for years. read more

They do a fabulous job on my nails every time! Very friendly.

I've been coming here for 14 years. John and Michelle are great. Highly recommend.

I asked for a Mani-peddi for two people. The lady who did my pedicure was GREAT! The owner did my manicure and she wasn't that nice. I wanted to add some acrylic. After she placed the acrylic on she was about to paint my nails, I asked what happened to my manicure, she said that's $10 extra! She butchered my cuticles and didn't do a good job painting my nails!! I spent $109 on Saturday and I'm not satisfied with her at all! I said I wanted a sporty length and they barely come over the tips of my fingers!! read more

Love this place. Although LJ is no longer here, I still come here because they're very nice and clean! Warm welcome after being in class all morning read more

This place SUCKS!!!!!! My mom and I went to get sns (powder dip) manicures and our nails chipped within 2 days after. DO NOT GO HERE!

Three strikes and you're OUT! First strike was about a year ago, when I was told "rightaway" and sat for over 15 minutes with no attention. Second strike was, although a nice job by John, charged a surprisingly higher price than other salons. Swore I wouldn't go back. But needed a quick repair on one hand and saw that they were not busy. Took me right away, but did not match the color to my other hand! They argued and yelled at me! Once again, I won't be back! read more

This is the best nail salon in Wilmington. The atmosphere is friendly and they have always done a marvelous job. Jay is the best manicurist and waxer ever! read more

This was one of the worst pedicures I have ever experienced. The prices are not correctly posted on their board. They charge prices that you would expect at a high end spa but offer terrible service. My legs were not massaged. I left with lumpy nail polish that looked like a 5 year old had painted my nails. The nail dryer did not work. The manager was rude. Do not waste your time or money. Horrible experience!!! read more

If you've never had a good pedicure then you probably think this place is ok. I've had good pedicures before and this place can't compare. They are about quantity not quality. By the time you start to relax they're done. The leg massage lasted less than two minutes a leg, the cuticle removal process lasted five minutes at best. Nail polish was spilled on my shoe and nail polish was not removed from my skin. Definitely will not return!!! read more

This place is owned and ran by some very nice people. It was by far the best massage I ever got at a pedicure. The actual paint job is holding up okay. They take cards but they don't tip on the card so bring cash. This isn't my go to place but I'll go here as a backup. It was packed the whole time. read more

I have been going there for over 13 years. The staff is very friendly. The space is very clean. The décor is very nicely done. I have both gel refill and pedi when I go and I have never had anything but perfection! I would recommend this nail salon to anyone. read more

Very good salon, with friendly techs, and excellent skill level. The only issues I have with this salon are that it is almost always very crowded, and their prices for gels is a little steep. They're not a "luxury" salon, but the prices they charge for gel nails are equivalent to one. Otherwise, they're fast and professional, and the salon atmosphere, though sometimes crowded, is pretty festive and fun. Very nice owner operator! read more

Staff was very friendly but 2 out of the 4 of us who went there together came out with rough feet not much better than when we went in. Very disappointed in the quality of service. Would not go back nor recommend. read more

Clean, very busy place. I had an appointment for my niece to get her nails done for her 12th birthday. Will not be returning. The person that did her nails rushed, seemed distracted, and was generally unpleasant when asked questions. The price was twice what I normally pay for a color change on toes and fingers for my nieces. I dislike being negative with reviews, but was disappointed and would not recommend. read more

Today I come long leaf nails . It is great, everybody is friendly and fun. I like their service

I made this account and downloaded the Yelp app, for the SOLE PURPOSE of informing the public of the horrible experience I had at this location. I came in to get acrylics done a few days ago. The experience was fine, but expensive and took a very long time. As soon as I left, one of my nails snapped off because they had made it so thin. I came back in and asked them to please just fix my single finger. I didn't even ask for color. Just the nail. On the sign, it says repairs are "$3-$5". The lady at the desk told me it would be $8. For one nail. No color. She was rude and condescending, and left me leaving the place with so much anger I went out of my way to download this app and write this. That is all. read more

Excellent service. Long did an incredibly thorough job on my pedicure and gel mani. Very receptive to me asking for hotter water a couple times and paying special attention to rough spots I pointed out on my feet. Really excellent- took his time, never rushed, and was incredibly thorough. read more

I've been here once before with no problem, I left satisfied with the work they had done. I just went in today and I was asked what I wanted done. I said I just wanted my nails painted regular color. The man asked me to pick out a color and as I started doing so, he said "can you come back later?" I looked at him confused said "come back?" He said "yeah can you come back later we're busy". I was so taken back by that I just told him no and left. What kind of business says something like that??? Will NEVER return here. read more
