    I've tried my best to give them the benefit of the doubt by going back again after I had a terrible gel manicure done. After I had a poor gel experience (blue nail pic) I decided to give it another try with a dip manicure and with a different nail tech. They leave polish on your skin, shape the nail poorly, and completely miss spots of the nail all together. Unfortunately the dip manicure was even worse. I had nice long nails and simply asked for the nail tech to trim them. Instead they cut, filed, and and drilled the nails down to stubs. Again, polish was just left on my skin with no attempts to fix the issue. She didn't even cut my cuticles or do any type of nail care. I think the photos speak for themselves. Talk about Sunday Scaries! Don't waste your $ here.

    Gel manicure

    Just moved here. Made an appointment, they took me on time and completely the gel manicure in 30 mins. This place is no frills. If you want to be in and out but also a very nice job come here. It is quicker than most with the massage but they had people back to back so it seems as though they won't spend extra time. My manicure has lasted 2 weeks so far so I will definitely go back!

    My first time here and I have to say I was quite impressed(mind you I'm quite particular with my nails)! My gel manicure came out perfect. A mini hand massage with sea salt scrub along with a hot towel wrap to end the service was a nice touch! :) Have to try their pedicure next time. The interior was very modern and most importantly, CLEAN! All the employees seems to be really friendly and professional, especially my nail technician(Sofia)! All the tools were sanitized and kept in a pouch. I will be back! :)

    Oval shaped thumb versus almond shape like I requested.

    I typically love this nail salon and have an only good experiences until this most recent visit. My nail shape isn't what I requested some nails are almond some are oval, one hand is significantly longer than the other. The polish design I requested was solid colors but the technician said She couldn't do it or seemed uninterested in doing it because it was 5 different colors (one per nail). I asked for a different design that she has done before and it just looked sloppy. Luckily I have all of the tools at home to reshape and remove my polish so I can have exactly what I want, it's just frustrating to make requests and them not be executed the way you'd like. I'm not sure who I saw today but I'll only be scheduling with Ivy now, she is literally the best!

    I saw Tiffany and she did a great job. She made sure I really liked my nails and was super nice. Will definitely be coming back again!

    Gel mani

    I've been looking for a decent nail technician for a while and got some recommendations for this place on Facebook. I was advised to see Sophia, and I'm so happy I did. She did a wonderful job with my gel manicure.

    not impressed

    Was not overly impressed with this place at all...it's clean inside so that's the only positive really. The nail tech did not file my nails how i asked her to multiple times and the gel was so incredibly thick as she continued to just blob it on my nails sloppily...i ended up going somewhere else - spending more money to get them fixed because i was getting them done for vacation. The gel also started chipping off all my nails (zoom into my thumb nail). Next time i'll stick with the nail salon i've been going to for over 5 years. Skip this one unless you've been coming for a while and your nail tech knows what you want and doesn't rush/fixes the problem...

    I saw this salon did SNS and had decent reviews and thought I would give it a shot! I have gotten SNS numerous times from a salon in downtown Annapolis. I have also watched videos and know how SNS should be applied. Lux is advertising on their website and brochure in the salon that they use SNS. If you are advertising SNS and charging $45 then customers should get SNS. Lux is using a knock off brand called Nugensis which you can buy online for $14. SNS can only be purchased by professionals with a license. I asked for SNS and got Nugensis. I had my nails done on Thursday evening and by Monday one had already popped off. I returned Monday and had that nail redone. Tuesday I had another one pop off and 4 other nails were lifting at the cuticle. I returned Wednesday to have 3 more done again. On my third return today, I asked why they were using Nugensis and not SNS. She lied and said it was SNS when she had the container in her hand. She also cut my cuticle on 3 fingers, you shouldn't leave a nail salon bleeding. She said I had thin skin. Nice excuse for not knowing what you are doing. I want a refund. I was scammed and paid $45 for SNS and did not get SNS. They wasted a lot of my time too! If I wanted nails that would pop off in 4 days I would have gone to Walmart. Buyer beware, I would go somewhere else. Also, if you return for a repair don't expect them to be nice to you. If you scam me, why are you giving ME attitude.

    I was a walk in on a Monday afternoon and they were able to accommodate me within a few minutes. I knew I wanted to treat myself to a special pedi so I elected to do the Hotstone massage pedicure and a gel manicure. The pedicure was nice and relaxing and they automatically give you a complimentary bottle of water. I did see a wine bar section but not sure when they offer that. My tech was a young guy who was very gentle which was nice since I've had experiences where techs can be really aggressive while they are cleaning and digging into your cuticles. He was just as gentle on my hands even though my cuticles were falling apart and sensitive already. A different tech finished off with my gel mani and she was pretty nice. I absolutely LOVE how the colors came out! She did not miss a spot! Pricing was definitely reasonable and I will be a repeat customer.

    My new nail place!!

    Oh my goodness I found my new nail shop! I have very high standards for how I want my nails to look. I was literally in awe at how good they look. I always get the dip powder because it lasts so long, but not everyone does a good job with it since the process is so specific and tedious. I live in dc and will be driving all the way to Annapolis's to get my nails done because it's 100% worth it. A guy with tattoos (didn't get his name) did my nails and although I'm sure I was a pain in his butt (I'm picky) he had a good attitude and took his time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

    In love with my gel manicure!

    I had an amazing experience while getting my nails and toes done here. Sofia was attentive, caring, and very skilled. I found the place to be quite relaxing and high quality. The staff provided waters as well as snacks. I was very pleased with the final product and will be back again.

    Post-crab picking nails!! Go Lux!

    Avoid the older lady you could do better with your eyes closed. She's done me twice and the second time was even worse.

    Who should I ask to do my acrylics?

    I usually get my nails done with Sophia, Ivy or Tiffany but when they haven't been able to my daughter and I have had other nail techs do our nails and they've done a great job.

I then asked for bubble bath but was told that color was not good for my skin and it is better for fair skinned individual. I am a black woman for context. I then picked a different color and she proceeded to pick a color outside of the color i picked on my toes. She asked if i liked them and i told her no not really. Then she continues with try something new. My whole service was rushed and she was very aggressive the entire time. I proceeded to pay and once i got to the car i looked at my toes and they were lumpy, lifting, and had a ding. I worked up the courage to go back in and show her hoping they would be fixed. She was very defensive telling me she has done toes for 10 years and no one has ever said anything. I attempted to show her where my whole toe nail was lifting and she attempted to file it which was not the issue. She finally throws the nail file down angrily walks away from me and says if it lifts come back. I feel i was disrespected, discriminated against, and left in tears. In no way shape or form did she ever try to change something so that I was satisfied with the quality of my nail she was extremely dismissive and disrespectful. I would never recommend this place especially not to people of color as I shouldve gotten up and left when she told me the color I wanted was only good for fair skin people in 2026. I'm truly disgusted with this establishment.

I first came in on 2/15 to get an Annapolis pedicure with gel polish. At first I was very happy used a 10% off first visit from Annapolis moms mention and despite the receptionist making a mistake and charging me someone else balance then changing me a second time to make the difference, that was not a big deal to me. Came in 6 days later to get a basic manicure with gel before my vacation to Hawaii which was 5 days later. Less than a week later (a day after I got to Hawaii and not even touched the beach yet) my toe nail polish had flaked off and my nail polish was catching on my hair. I messaged the salon via DM instagram and they said I could come in no problem when I came back from vacation. Here's when it all went downhill: I meant to say I could come in March 15 (get back the 6th but weekends only work for me getting my one year old watched) however I put the 8th, this was not scheduled as I never received a text confirming the date which would've helped the confusion. The 15th comes and I go in thinking I'm getting my nails fixed, nope! They are too busy and I have to come another day so I say I guess I could come back 3/15 (exactly one month from my first visit). When I arrived I wanted to clarify before getting the service that they were fixing this and I would not be charged for it yet I'd still tip. I got attitude saying at this point my nails would need to be redone but this one time (said multiple times) they will do it. I have never been so disrespected in a business before in my entire life. My heart was pounding and my leg shaking the entire time, honestly I wanted to walk out of here after she started. The tech wasn't going to cut my long nails and when I asked her too she shook her head and said "well of course they are long it's been over 5 weeks". Despite the disrespect I still tipped her $8 for 30 minutes of work of doing my nails and toenails, crazy. My nails are still slightly bumpy along the tips and chipped on the thumb nail chipped only 12 days later. For the price I'd expect more, better massage, definitely better service/experience, and for the gel polish to last longer. Never had gel last so little of time. Very disappointing!

I also appreciate that they've stopped charging extra for certain nail polishes. The foot exfoliator they use is fantastic. I've noticed some inconsistencies with the Uptown Pedicure service. My first visit was great -- exactly as described, with a scrub up to the knee, paraffin wax, and a lovely extended massage. That's what convinced me to make the drive from Baltimore to Annapolis for a repeat visit. But on my next few visits, those steps were skipped entirely. I even reached out to the contact listed online, but never received a response. I decided to give it another try this past week, hoping my previous experience was a one-off mistake. Unfortunately, it wasn't. The same abbreviated service again. I also got a gel manicure this time. The nail tech was super sweet and friendly. The dry cuticle care left my cuticles shredded. The description of the gel manicure mentions a lotion massage, but what I received was just a few drops of cuticle oil after curing the polish -- definitely not the same thing. I totally understand if this location has adjusteld their service menu from the national model, but if that's the case, it would be great to have that clearly communicated on the services description for Annapolis
