My nails are coffin shaped with bubble bath color. I came in for one nail repair. They placed no effort in helping and turned me away at the door after looking at my nails. I feel that the woman may have been intimidated on doing the same shape. read more

I went in to have my nails done on 01/29/22. I got a gift certificate for Christmas. I got a full set with gel color and a pedicure with gel color. Totaling $95 (including tip). Within a couple days it looks like it's been several weeks since I've had my nails done and fingernails just look horrible. Toes looked great and I felt she did a great job. Only prob was one week after getting my toes done four nails the color has completely come off (come off peeled in one solid sheet). My fingernails you can tell the acrylic is not glued to my real nails. So sad and a waste of money. For reference I'm a stay at home mom and don't do anything to cause damage besides typical stuff. read more

My daughter and I both went for a medi/pedi. The chair for my pedi didn't work and she spent all of 15/20 minutes in my feet. Was NOT worth the money I paid. My daughter got gel polish that didn't last that long and my dipped nails chipped after 2 weeks. read more

This was my first visit to this location. I arrived from out of town in need of a pedicure for an event. This place opens at 9am. It was quiet when I arrived, there were only 2 other people in the shop. I got a pedicure for myself and a toe polish for my niece. I have had better pedicures. The technicians hands were cold and she seemed as if she was in a rush. She was a little rough with handling the job, but got it done. Overall I was pleased with the job, but I am not sure I will return. I think this place needs to work on people skills. My niece liked her toes. read more

As requested by the store owner, I would like to confirm with absolute certainty that I'm talking about the correct nail salon. My review is for Mele Nails on Mcfarland Blvd in NORTHPORT, AL (which is in TUSCALOOSA County). I had been to Mele nails dozens of times before writing this review so I'm certain that I am not talking about the wrong salon, as the owner is implying. I'm sorry if negative yelp reviews affect your business but I believe people have a right to know what the quality of the service is before they spend their money. The nail tech I was speaking about in my review from two years ago is the store owner, Mele (she's literally pictured in the cover photo on the Mele Nails Yelp account). A majority of the times I got my nails done at Mele Nails they were done by Mele and I'd say that I was happy with the result about 60% of the time. Sometimes my nails would turn out great and other times they would be rushed and sloppy. I would like to add that I only ever got full acrylic sets done at Mele, so you may have a better experience than I did if you are having a different service done, and perhaps they have even improved their acrylic services since my review two years ago. I hope this update provides more clarity! read more

Two stars because the people here are SO friendly, happy and just all around nice to everyone. Sadly, my gel manicure was not great. three of my fingers have blood spots- let me explain. the nail tech doing my nails was super quick and pretty aggressive with the cuticle clippers. This caused my nails to bleed in multiple spots. to make matters so much worse, he had sharpened his own thumbnails to a point, and used them to swipe up excess polish or "correct" where he had over polished. On top of my already bleeding cuticles, this felt like tiny razor blades! Sadly his english wasn't great, so he had a hard time understanding when I asked him to slow down- i even pointed to his nails and said "ouch!" I left with sore fingers and GEL nail polish all over my hands but at least they were so friendly and only charged me $25... silver lining? I won't be coming here again, but if you're willing to brave it- just know they're very nice people just a bit aggressive on delicate fingers! read more

As requested by the owner... I can confirm I was at the right location on MCFARLAND BOULEVARD. Per my review, I was NEVER helped after sitting for 30+ minutes and calling prior to confirm I could come, so how would I possibly know the name of a technician who I never had the chance to sit down with? It's absolutely ridiculous of an establishment to only address all of the deservedly negative reviews and try to come up with an excuse that because I don't have the name of a technician that my review is for the wrong place. You seem to be completely fine with the positive reviews not mentioning nail techs? How do we know those are valid? I am updating this review, to confirm, my experience was BAD at THIS salon and the odd response 3 years later from the owner further confirms just how unprofessional this place is. read more

My nails are not how I wanted them I asked for long he told me no and cut them.. the nail polish keeps coming off I do not recommend

I absolutely love this place! Quick and great service. The customer service is the best!

I just recently relocated to the area and was excited to find this nail salon. Amber was doing my pedicure and Vinny would do my nails. The first two times I was happy and was looking forward to being a loyal customer at their salon. However I called a week ago to make an appointment for today and walked in to find out that Amber had left and their were three people waiting ahead of me. Therefore Vinny rushed to do my fill-in (see pictures) and did an awful job. I was then told after my nails were complete to come by back in a couple of hours to get my pedicure even though I had already paid. I went and asked for a refund for my pedicure and left. They lost a customer and I will never return. I had to go to another salon to fix my polish on my nails and to get a pedicure. It is horrible that Amber left but to be treated so horrible after making an appointment. I will not return! read more

I just moved here from Atlanta and have had nightmares about going somewhere new to get my nails done. After reading reviews, I decided to give MELE NAILS a try. I'm so happy that this was my first nail salon to try. Vinny quickly put my mind at ease! He did such a FANTASTIC job while making me feel very welcome and answering all my questions. All I can say is WOW WOW WOW Thanks Vinny. I'll see you in a few weeks!!! read more

Best nail salon I've been to in a while! I used to go to bama nails but they're always too crowded and in a rush. I was recommended by a friend to Mele, so today I tried them out.

This is my second review. STILL LOVING THIS PLACE. I'm now doing gel nails and they are awesome here. Low prices and my nails stayed on for ONE MONTH AND THREE DAYS. Yes I'm going to show picture proof. My nails are all grown out but after 3.5 weeks I just had to keep them on to see house long they would last. Oh and I'm a nurse do I wash my hands ALL the time. Going back here. Like again and again. read more

I was in town for graduation. I was not for Milyer with any salons in the area. I tried someplace else but they were completely full. I called this place and they told me to come right over. As I was looking for it the owner called me to make sure it wasn't lost and gave me some other directions to find it. While I was there the staff was very friendly. The place was very clean. They had a huge selection of colors for gel polish. And they generally did a good job on my nails. Most of all the price was extremely reasonable. read more

This was my first visit, but judging by the interaction with other customers, they enjoy a lot of repeat business. Very sociable couple working there. Mele did my mani-pedi and did an excellent job. I will back. I was pleasantly surprised when I got the bill. So I tipped nicely to equal what I expected to pay. read more

I'm from Virginia and I've been going to the same nail salon I grew up with so I'm very picky when it come to nail salons. I was really looking for a place where I could get acrylics done and I saw the reviews for Meles. Calling and making a nail appointment was very easy! I was able to bring my own polish and they did my nails perfectly!! I showed him a picture and what I wanted and the finished product was perfect!! Definitely the best acrylic nail experience I've had so I figured I was going to pay some heavy money but it was just $25!! I've usually paid closer to 45-50 dollars including tip before so the price is such a great deal for quality services (especially for someone on a budget) read more

They tried to remove my Nextgen (gel dip) by breaking it off, which would have ripped the natural nails pretty badly. The place wasn't particularly clean. The people were pleasant. I wouldn't recommend. read more

This place is a little bit run down, but I have never received such good customer service before. Vinny (I believe his name is) and his wife mele are adorable. I highly recommend people to go here. In my experience, this is one of the better nail places in tuscaloosa/northport. I will be returning here after that experience. My nails look beautiful as well! Way better than midtown nails. read more

I've been going to Mele's for 5 months now. I love Mele and her husband Vinny. They are both like family to me. On my second visit they greeted me by my name and have ever since. Mele hugs me when I leave. Vinny does such a beautiful job with my Gel Nails, and the spa pedicures are heaven. I won't use any other salon. read more

Great customer service if you have acrylics ask for John!!!! I always go to him and he's awesome with shape and doing what you want.

I will never use another nail salon! Mele and her husband Vinny, pay great attention to detail and making the customer happy. Very friendly and super clean! 100 health rating...can't beat it! read more

Until today, i've never experienced friendly customer service at a nail salon. Mele and Vinnie are very friendly people and i appreciate that. The salon is organized and extremely clean. They have what looks to be new spa chairs and the pedicure i got was great. I will be back. :-) read more

The wait was a little long but the owners were very friendly. My daughter will defiantly be back for another mani pedi.

I came here because of the high reviews from other yelpers. They did not disappoint at all! I got the best manicure and Vinnie was very attentive to every small detail. The pedicure was probably the best I'd ever had, my feet were insanely soft afterwards. I will definitely continue coming here! read more
