Nice place, terrible with acrylic. Went in for basic soak off and full set with nothing fancy. Had acrylic all over my cuticle that I was picking off. My nail tech thought that it was a great idea to cut the acrylic that was on my skin so now I have niks all over my fingers. The polish wasn't blended at all and looks terrible and the laying of the acrylic is so thick and so wide.

I wanted to something simple and pink. Voilá!

As usual, Johnny was ready for.me at my appointment time. He wad patient as I selected my color. While I was doing so, he offered me a drink. I have a severe back injury. He and the manager are always helpful. My nails look great. I am a happy girl!

gel Pedi

I called and made an appointment, which I highly recommend. When I got there, I sign-in with the phone number I made the reservation with. I was able to select my polish and then Lisa was there to greet me. She was ready for me. I got a Mani & Pedi with gel polish. Lisa is great. She has done my nails on 4 different times and I have been highly satisfied. When I brought my MIL in with me for a gel manicure, the tech who did her nails was new and he did not do a good job. Lisa went to the manager and she made him fix them. I really appreciate that she was concerned about the service that was provided and that she wanted us both to be happy when we left. There are many stations and the building has bar service (I have not used it) but it looks like they could handle a party and large group gatherings.

Arrived at 7pm to have my daughters pedicure done for homecoming. Of course when we pulled up the manager was outside SMOKING CIGARETTES profusely. The couple of times I've been there, it's annoying when he comes in to greet you with the strong smell of tobacco coming from his mouth. We go back after picking a color and immediately given a list of high price pedicures. They have gone up tremendously so be sure to take out a small loan before you go. They add things like a sugar scrub to Jack the price ‍. I selected the $42 one because she had a rough volleyball game that day so I wanted to treat her. When she finishes and I went to pay... the total was $63.50!!! I questioned the price and she said remember you chose gel and they added a fee for using my card Basically they want untraceable CASH! Well Next time we will chose a salon that doesn't send you straight to the gel polish and who discloses their prices before a service. I think we're paying for the glitzy light fixtures and the Addams Family chairs up front! They also ask if you have cash for tips and if not, do you have cash app. Too overwhelmed about their predatory prices that I was underwhelmed of my daughters pedicure!!

Shoddy polish job after about 4 days
Tori B.

HORRIBLE. Dishonest practices. After about 2 days, the polish on my toes started to chip. What you see in the picture is about day 4. Polish on the toes usually last about 10 days for me. I called the salon and spoke to Lee and he asked me to come back so they could fix the issue. After waiting 30 minutes, I left. One of the ladies seemed like she would repaint me but when I said it was not a polish change and no charge because of the previous shoddy work, she used her hand to physically push me towards the front of the store. I took a deep breath and realized for everyone's safety and sanity, I should just leave. I should also say, on the day of the original work, the lady who did the work asked me about 5 times if I wanted gel. I consistently said no. I wonder if they do something to regular polish to not make it last so that the person will opt for gel the next visit. Never again will I go there and will be sure to take my own polish from now on when getting mani/pedis.

Injuries I've sustained from this business
Raquel W.

DO NOT EVER GET YOUR NAILS DONE HERE! I am traumatized from my experience. I went to get my nails done LESS than two weeks ago and all of them were lifting and painful. Most of them, I was already able to remove due to how bad they were lifting. This was GEL nails at that. I paid $95 for!!!! One as you can see from the pictures below, when taking it off, I saw that my whole nail was split. It was so painful , I took this nail off because I couldn't bear the pain. When I removed it with clippers, I noticed that it's my actual nail was ripped open. I came back to the shop and expressed that I wanted my full set- redone for a discounted price due to how they were damaging my nails and also because it was less than two weeks and they all came off.... i was immediately met with attitude and a man who I assume is the manager started to do my nails. He was aggressive and started yelling at me when I said that he needed to remove the remaining nails since they were lifted. He initially tried to put nail glue on them, but when I made that request, he raised his voice and said "let him finish". As he was taking the remainder of the nails off, he was talking in his language to another coworker and wasn't paying attention and he ripped the nail and my whole section of my pinky nail and skin off causing me to bleed bad (see the picture below) he said sorry and then said he's doing my nails and I can come tomorrow and get that nail done. By this time, I'm crying from the pain and uncomfortable and he continues to badger me to let him do my nails. Then he tried to spray alcohol on it!!!!!!!! I walked out and said I will never return. I've never been treated so inhumane. No refund, no real apology and people just standing around looking at me..,, this is unacceptable and I will be reporting this to the cosmetology board as the service was not okay and I was injured due to their services. You need to do better by your customers and realize they make your business. You injured me, my nail service was done horribly and you did nothing to try and make it right. Please, do not go here for acrylic nail application. I would hate for anyone to experience what I have Update: as I was sitting outside making this review, the same man that hurt me, knocked on my car multiple times saying for me to come in and get my nails done saying he'll do it for me and asking me if my finger is okay. He came back AGAIN after that and knocked on my car again!!!!! Harassment, injury and at this point, I'm feeling very uncomfortable. I literally backed my car out because I wanted to slap this man..... Never in my life have I experienced this. This is crazy. He kept coming outside smoking cigarettes and harassing me.

Kathy is one of the best nail techs at Modo Nail Bar! I've been going to her for over a year when I requested someone to care for my injured foot as I needed a pedicure for a special event. She is very personable and makes you feel important as a client. If there's anything your not happy with, she will fix it for you. Recently we tried something new with my nails because I type a lot at work and just do a lot with my hands aka "obsessive cleaning disorder" lol. She gave me a dip & gel manicure combo. The results so far have been the best as I have not experienced any chipping or lifting of the nails. They are nice and strong and my pedicures are always the best. Modo Nail Bar also provides complimentary water, tea, or sparkling cider during your pedicure, and for a few $ they have wine by the box and snacks.

The shape I asked for.... repeatedly.
Micah G.

Don't come here. I went in to have a pedicure and an overlay done. As in was getting my nails done, the tech was shaping my nails, and one was extremely crooked. I asked her about it, and her response was "just trust me, I am not done". Ok.... but they were not being shaped the way I asked her to. She accused me of yelling at her. I did not, I would never. Then she huffed away yelling in her language. The manager? No idea what his name was, saw my crooked nail, soaked it off, then reapplied acrylic to all of my nails... while answering calls, coughing, and "managing" everyone else. I made the mistake of coming here for a "mommy/nursing student break" and I never will again. They rush. They treat people like they don't matter. They aren't receptive to any questions or feedback, and they treat people as if they are inconveniencing them to have to work with them. The way the first tech blatantly lied and accused me of yelling at her, I honestly did not want to have the police called for requesting them to correct my nails. I just wanted to get out of there, and never come back. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THESE PEOPLE.

I decided to give this place a second chance because everyone deserves that right? No, I should have listened to my gut for the second time. My nails weren't cured properly so the gel is peeling in some places. The clear coat wasn't applied at the cuticle line on a couple nails. I asked for black glitter I got black polish with sparkles in it. Crystal adornments are coming off. All in less than an hour after I left the shop. I had a wedding to attend so I rushed home to shower and looked at my nails to find a disaster. Terrible quality of work coming out of this shop. I know we will never return. I can't wait to get these nails either repaired or soaked completely off. They charge way too much to be providing work this low in quality.

After letting the nail tech convince me to put powder on my nails
Miesha L.

I wtite this review after I let the nail tech convince me that powder was superior to gel, he said they would last longer than gel and "make my nails very strong." That was not true at all. In less than two weeks my powder was lifting up and almost ripped off every nail. I could barely zip my pants or pick up anything. Also the owner does not wear his mask. He is rude AF and proud of it. I've watched other customers complain and he disrespected them, I don't know why I expected any different. I complained he dead panned me. I left and went to another salon who took care of me. Apparently this happens often according to her. Before the powder was put on my nails they were strong and a very good length. Now I look like I have been playing bare handed roulette in my garbage disposal. As far as the space, they have many of their "fancy" pedicure chairs all pulled out from the wall exposing dirt and who knows what else. They got my money this time, never again.

Not even a week old full set

Skin-Tonic is such a gem!…read more I always look forward to my regular facials. Highly recommend. Excellent service.

First I would like to start of by the saying the energy in the room was great I really did feel at…read morepeace. I came to charm after struggling with my skin for a full year, after having amazing skin. I had tried everything and nothing seemed to be working. I decided to give facials a try to seek professional help. Before this I had done extensive research on skin and like I mentioned previously had my hands on multiple products but nothing was the right fit. The extractions were extremely painful which alarmed me instantly but I had never gotten a facial and didn't know any better. Extractions may be discomforting but should never be painful. Also when doing extractions you're supposed to gently extract until all puss, then blood and finally when the congestion is clear you will see a clear fluid. This clear fluid is called "serous fluid" it's important to clear the sac until you see this fluid or else the sac will fill up again and cause even more inflammation. Therefore defeating the purpose of doing an extraction in the first place. I don't believe this protocol was followed because I was left with painful swollen pimples on my forehead that weren't visible before my visit. Which left me feeling even more insecure. Trusting someone with my skin was a huge step for me and I am dissatisfied and disappointed. I understand results may not have been instant but I shouldn't have been in pain and left with more skin imperfections then when I laid down. I don't believe the right procedure was followed. I do plan to follow up with someone who may be more knowledgeable and hopefully find something that works for my skin. In response to charm: I understand extractions can cause discomfort but they were making me almost want to cry and they should never be that painful extractions should have some discomfort but there should never be pain. you also didn't drain the entire inflammation which left me with more pimples and more scarring due to how harsh your technique was . When doing extractions you were supposed to drain the pus and then all blood until the oil is present and you did not do that which left the pimple even more inflamed. My cheeks were permanently scarred and I still have to seek professional help to get that prepared due to what you did.

Still, I was refused service and told I needed a doctor's note upon arrival. Or to be off actives for 30 days. This has never been an issue before at any other location. First time at the Laurel location. I usually go to College Park or Silver Spring. I had to scramble and get my brows threaded elsewhere that night. I asked for the manager's contact and called the next day to express my frustration. I explained everything. She said the waxer was a new employee. I told her I'd sign a waiver of liability if needed, but I wasn't stopping my actives for longer than a week nor bringing in a doctor's note. I also asked to use my now expired birthday coupon beyond the expiration date and my request was honored. I went back after my trip for my eyebrows to be cleaned up as they were still in good shape from getting them threaded three weeks ago. Smooth appointment until checkout, when the front desk staff tried to charge me. I reminded her it was supposed to be complimentary, gave the manager's name who booked the appointment, and had her verify it. Apparently there were no notes in my appointment. There were other customers in the waiting room. Awkward. What if the manager hadn't answered the call? It would have been my word with no backing and an embarrassment. While this location is convenient, I'm not sure I will frequent it. Two out of two visits have required calling the manager. Not a welcoming experience.

I usually go for regular polish, paint, and glitter, LOL! However, I've found that 80% of the time, the reviews and prices are either false, misleading or even generated by AI. Many of these salons are disrespectful and unprofessional, assuming I will return to complain or demand a refund the next day, especially for just regular polish. It's frustrating! This has never been an issue; I haven't once discussed or felt the need to discuss anything like that with Linda! I haven't seen her in almost four years and have visited about 50 technicians since then, all because I need immediate service and no longer live in the area. Despite that, I've only written maybe eight reviews in my entire life, and Linda is, without a doubt, the best nail and eyelash artist I've ever encountered. I'm so glad Yelp randomly asked me to write a review at the best time for a wonderful person! Take care and happy holidays!
