The Experience: Beyond Your Average Pedicure It had been a few months since my last professional treatment, and my feet were definitely feeling the neglect. I was paired with Jenni, who provided one of the most professional and attentive services I've had in years. In an industry where many shops try to turn over chairs as fast as possible, Modern Nail Salon stands out because: Jenni took her time, ensuring every detail was perfect. She was incredibly sweet, courteous, and attentive to my comfort. I left the salon with my feet feeling rejuvenated and incredibly soft--the perfect defense against the winter chill.

I'm literally sitting here now feeling pampered & relaxed. My daughter is getting her full set/gel & I'm getting the Classic Pedicure. Greeted & checked in by a quiet, but sweet young lady. They are busy & we had an appointment. They took my daughter quickly, but I sat in the massage chair for about 30 minutes before getting even water. No worries- massage felt good. Bill without tip was $105. I'll come back for a mani next week. Recommended, but there are up charges for shaping nails & gel polish. Be aware &/or ask before you get it done or sticker shock may hit you. read more

My new go to Nail Bar! I was lucky enough to be selected to attend a Yelp Elite night here back in the summer last year and I was very impressed by them! So much so that I brought my partner here to get pedicures with me! Everyone here is very nice and professional. Their chairs are incredibly comfy, they offer a wide variety of services and a ton of different options to choose from! We felt so relaxed and taken care of when we left. Their prices are competitive and everyone on staff, including the owner, are wonderful. We'll see them next time! read more

Love this place! I cane here for a Yelp Elite event and have been a patron ever since. What sold me? I couldn't believe 5 weeks later, my nails still looked pristine. Not a chip, not even a lift of any of my nails. I've never had that happen before. It's a little haul for me to come but we'll worth the drive. The interior of the salon is very spacious and clean. The chairs are very comfortable. The staff is friendly. Prices are pretty standard I'd guess for most places nowadays. I've been loving a good French lately, and I know that costs a bit more. I only get SNS. It's my fav. But they do it all. My daughter came with me today and got a polish change for her toes. They looked a million times better! One heads up, they do not take American Express. So bring cash or an alternative card. I also like that they have charging stations near the salon, and they are free. You can make an appointment or just drop in, but I've course I prefer having an appointment so I'm not waiting. As my nails continue to stay on the way they do, I don't see myself going anywhere else. Definitely worthwhile to check them out if you're in the area and there's lots of new restaurants and places in that complex that you can also visit while you're there. read more

I came here twice both times they displayed that they did not want to do my nails. I was meet with hesitation. The first time I came, I wanted a fill-in on my acrylics and I was told that I couldn't do that because I came from a different place. I said okay and was willing to get my nails removed and apply a full set because The nail said that I done the nails on my hand are located in Houston, Texas. Once I sat down, then I was told that it was okay, I can get a fill. This made me feel like they really just wanted me to leave. I came here today, two days later, for a color change because I got a color that didn't like. They questioned if I got my nails there, which I told them yes and then they proceeded to tell me unless I get a fill-in I cannot get a color change because once they take off the nail polish, they have to smooth it.... Then they said if it was clear acrylic I could get it but I got a nude pink acrylic... I have never been met with anything like this before over the years that I've been getting my nails done since I was 16 and I'm now 35. I live in the area and it's a convenient walk, but so is Les Mains Nail Salon. read more

I recently moved to the area and I needed to find a new salon. I'm very very picky because I like acrylic, pointed nails with a gel polish. They got me right in and both the manicurist in the lady who did my pedicure did amazing work. I highly recommend going here especially if you like pointed nails. read more

Walked in and was asked by receptionist what services I'd like and I told her basic mani/pedi. She said "okay" never told me the price which led me to ask (of course) because unfortunately there is no menu on the wall and I wasn't offered one. Once I got to the chair, the woman doing my pedi kept asking me if I wanted upgrades and I kept asking the price for the upgrades and was given an attitude for it because once again, I never received a pricing menu. It took me asking the price a THIRD time for something that was offered and I was given attitude by the lady doing my pedi. Woman doing my pedi tried to be funny and made a weird comment asking if I "bite" my toenail (which was injured due to a stub). Woman doing pedi asked if I wanted brows done (which I had to ask for the price yet again because she had taken the menu back) and the lady doing my mani started giggling when I asked again. Overall they did a decent job with my services but it definitely gave a "mean girl vibe" so definitely proceed with caution. read more

I've only been once so far but it was a really awesome experience. I made an appointment requesting Nancy or Anna (by referral). Anna was the nail tech who did my nails that day. She was friendly, professional, not super talkative but that didn't bother me at all. You can tell this salon cares about their clients. At first I was a little iffy about the colors chosen or recommended for my manicure but you really need to trust the process because I love them! The environment is very clean and it seemed chaotic when I first walked in and Anna didn't get started on my nails until 15 minutes after my appointment time but overall I was happy with my experience. They're also on the pricier side but you truly get what you pay for and this bit of self care was totally worth it. read more

May did my pedicure and Christine did my nails. They were both very attentive and went above and beyond. I'm very picky and both ladies paid such attention to detail. They truly wanted me to be happy with the services. May's pedicure was truly in the top 3 I have ever had. I would 100 percent recommend. read more

I truly consider myself to be a patient person. But after three experiences of having to wait more than 45 minutes to receive service and having someone enter after me being serviced ahead of me has been enough for me to never return. I only came to this nail salon at the recommendation of a friend but I will also tell her of my experiences. The first occurrence happened and I was told that the reason it took me a total of THREE hours to get a full SNS set and a pedicure was due to the fact that they were short staffed and someone had called out due to a "family emergency". I understand things happen and emergencies are unplanned so I didn't complain. However, the second occurrence I had scheduled an appointment with Nancy for my nails and a pedicure with whoever was available. My pedicure was completed (well over 45 mins) and I was still waiting for Nancy to even begin my SNS nails. I was asked to move to a table for her to start my nails. I arrived at 4:45pm and didn't leave until 7:15. Again, I was there for almost 3 hours. Today was the last and final straw. I brought my niece who was visiting from out of town to get her nails done as a graduation gift and to get myself a pedicure. I sat in a pedicure chair with no soaking water and I was offered a beverage but it was never given to me. On top of that there were at least two people who came in AFTER me who were being serviced as I continued to wait. I was given the excuse that someone who was training would start on me soon when it became obvious that she was servicing clients out of arrival order. My niece was completely done with her full set nails and again no one had started anything on me. I sat there for well over 45 mins. No retribution offered. I was only asked if I wanted to schedule an appointment to come back for my pedicure and I said no I would not. This place may not feel my absence but trust me when I say the horrible customer service and their high prices are not worth hours of your time. read more

I went, today, to get a gel manicure, and I didn't ask the price, because I get mine done in California, near San Francisco. The most I pay is 30.00, so I was shocked when she told me $40.00. And, the tip automatically goes to 18%. The guy didn't even get all my hang nails. Not worth the price, so I will not be going here, again. read more

Nia was the only tech I've seen over the last 20 years to remove my in-growns with ZERO discomfort. Linda did my acrylic set and made recommendations based on her expertise. Highly recommend. read more

Ambience is fresh, clean, "Modern" but don't expect them to go above and beyond with their services for the prices on services.

Moder nail Bar highly recommended, the service is wonderful, the people are very friendly and their work is spectacular, I love this place

I don't get my nails done frequently but wanted to try a new place so I made an appointment with Anna after reading some reviews. I believe she is one of the owners (with her sister) and she is not only friendly and kind but also efficient, detail oriented, and very meticulous with her work! I got a full set of Gel X nails. The salon itself is very spacious and clean. I had a great experience! Will definitely come again. read more

So far so good, my first visit was easy to schedule, and the person who took my call was super sweet. My pedicure was relaxing and the chairs are comfortable. It's a bright white environment which feels very clean, feels as new as it probably is. All the colors have a SNS, gel, and regular version so if you like a color you definitely have options, and they have a pretty good selection I might add. I only got a pedicure but they opened a new buffer/sponge/file which you don't see often anymore. Everyone seems friendly, check em out. read more

Greeted immediately upon entering. Short wait for a chair, and then was only a few minutes enjoying the massage before Tina came over to handle my pedicure. I haven't really done this as a guy, and definitely never alone before, but never felt out of place and the pedicure was excellent and relaxing. Will return again. read more

Mediocre at best. My manicure lasted less than 10 minutes with about 1 minute of arm massage. Pedicure was ok - the technician watched tv almost the entire time except when actually working on my nails. I signed up for an upscale pedicure hoping for a good leg massage but it was next to nothing. I won't go here again. I definitely miss my old salon in town. And the paint is already chipping, especially on my nails since the tech painted on polish with no time in between coats. I'd rather pay more for quality service. read more

On Sunday, April 7th around noon I had a TERRIBLE experience @ Modern Nail Bar. Sunday was my third visit, so please believe me, I tried. My visit on March 16th wasn't great either. I was overcharged by the manager's 15 year old daughter and was told that they wouldn't know when I'd get my money back. So instead, I just had them do more services to make up for what was taken. ($30/$35). Big mistake by the way. Please pay attention to what you are paying. Don't be afraid to ask. During my visit I felt bullied and talked about.The manager kept saying it's been 5 weeks, you need new set! Mind you, March 16th was approx 3 weeks ago, not 5. Each time I told them what I wanted. I'm simple, white tips. Nancy, who did my nails, did not want me saying one word to her about the thickness of my acrylic. She was so mean and rude, she was even aggressive with my hands at one point. PLEASE do not let her charm and small talk fool you. She made me leave the salon in the middle of getting my nails done. How on earth can you deny services because YOU get upset with the CLIENT'S REQUEST, I was completely shocked. She was hostile, loud and caused a HUGE scene because I told her I wanted my acrylic slightly thinner. I sat there and looked at her. I didn't argue back or say anything. I quietly left. She is a bully and is truly a horrible person who is prideful, money hungry with no class about herself. The prices by the way are the highest among the entire Buford/Gwinnett County area. I never had someone try and humiliate me the way she did. Nancy, there is no need to write a long response beneath my review. Please, just keep it because people who are passionate about what they do are not short tempered, agitated by requests, greedy nor would they ever treat someone the way you treated me. No professionalism. I'm reporting this to the Better Business Bureau. read more
