Enjoyed getting my toes done! Very helpful in helping me pick out a color! It's very peaceful in here, highly recommend coming during the morning in a weekday. I love they accept walk-ins too. read more

Came back for a second and third visit. My nails always lasted for almost a month, I'm sure I let them go longer than they should have, but that's pretty impressive. No cracks anywhere. The quality of the nail application of the SNS dip is top-tier here. I don't do anything fancy. I prefer a natural appearance. Jennifer is my go-to. She's nice and was happy to help me transition out of sns this month as I give my nails a break. There wasn't the usual negative talk about my decision to go without for a while. Jennifer smiled and welcomed me back during the holidays when I would like to transition back. read more

The best pedi I've had in years... & I own a hair salon (no nails @ my salon) Ask for Hannah...I will only ask for her for now on....Call her!!!! read more

My daughter and I walked in to get manicures very close to closing time. The technicians there were able to accommodate us right away with no wait. I loved my daughter's manicure; she chose two shades of pink and had hearts drawn on her ring finger nails. I went with a safe but boring neutral color (OPI Bubble Bath), so while my manicure was done well, it was nothing to write home about in comparison's to my daughter's simply because it was basic by choice. I was very pleased that the polish lasted for around 6-7 days for both of us. I will visit again when in the area. read more

This was my first time at this salon and it was to get acrylics taken off. The man who took them off for me did not soak them and instead used an acrylic nail extension to wedge/pry them off. He also cut some of my natural nail off while cutting the tips of the acrylics, leaving my nails all different lengths even after filing. Some nails are so short that my fingertip is sensitive. This was my first time getting acrylics off so I did not know what to expect, but after asking a friend who gets acrylics regularly this is not the way it should be done :( I wish I had a good experience here, but unfortunately I don't see myself returning. read more

Without a doubt one of the best nail salons I have been to. Service was 10/10 me and my two sisters came in without an appointment and were quickly taken care of. Jennifer did a fabulous job on my nails and was so patient throughout the complex design. If you need anything done to your nails I highly recommend! read more

Took my wife here. Staff was not friendly at all. Overly crowded. We waited to be seen just to be told to come back tomorrow. Why have us wait over 30 minutes to be told to come back. Needless to say we didn't come back. They need better customer service. read more

I went to this place today for first time after I have asked google for the best nail salons in Cary. One of them was this one and because it was close to me I said to myself, it is perfect. Well, I think that google made a Huge mistake probably this is one of the worsens. This people don't have an idea of what great/good customer service is. They treated me like they were mad or something like that, horrible. I was so disappointed because I wanted to have a place close to me that I could go regularly being new in the neighborhood but unfortunately this is not the one I will never ever go back to this place. read more

First and foremost you can't bet there prices! And in Cary!!!! They just increased the prices of a pedicure to $27. All places charge a minimum of $40. I have my tired, callused old feet worked on a few times here. As a guy I have the basic done. But the biggest benefit for me is scrapping away dozens of layers of dead skin. My feet always feel 20 years younger. They do an excellent job with me every time I have visited. But than I do tip well. I go about every two months. read more

I absolutely love Nail forum! I am very picky about who does my nails and I have left many a nail salon dissatisfied with my nails and have sometimes gone home to redo them. That has not happened since I found Thu and Jennifer at nail forum! They leave my nails in perfect condition. Thu is my usual girl but sometimes I go to Jennifer if my nails really need to be done and Thu is off. She also does wonderful pedicures. So if you're tired of going from salon to salon in search of the right nail tech look no further than Nail Forum Salon located in the Harrison Grande shopping center. Ask for Thu or Jennifer and I am sure you'll become a regular customer just like I am! read more

First and last time going today. The prices were okay, I guess ya get what ya pay for. Waited 30 minutes to be helped then asked for a very simple design, and the tech not only gave me something different but then when it smudged due to old polish falling off the top of the light, the tech just wiped it up a little and left it that way. That nail looks awful! Put the top coat on and said he was done. Very disappointed in my experience and even though it is very close to home, I will not be going back. read more

I love this place! I do not need much to impress. I did not wait at all. Everyone was very nice. Their English easy to understand. I have not had my toes done in awhile so I was a little apprehensive but the lady was very nice and took her time. I just asked for a pedicure and they did not try to upsell me to a more expensive package. While I was there, regulars came in and were so happy and laid back. I will definitely be back! read more

I have been coming to this place for the last 6 years. I have consistently gone to Vivian and my mom consistently goes to Jennifer. I love this place! They know me well and ask how my family is doing. They have a wide variety of colors for shellac and I only pay $27 for shellac on my nails. I also have been complemented numerous times by others on my nail beds and they always ask where I go. I have tried other places in the area and by where I currently live but I still make the drive here. I highly suggest asking for Jennifer and Vivian. And I suggest making an appointment because these two are typically very busy. Overall, highly recommend this place and I'll miss it when I move to Charlotte. read more

Jennifer is the best! I've been going here for YEARS and have always been so satisfied! They do amazing pedicures, manicures, and excellent waxing! read more

They've implemented good safety measures for COVID. But my pedicure missed the mark, big time. He didn't clip or cut my cuticles at all, I wasn't asked what kind of pedicure I wanted, my heels weren't buffed etc. After going 3 months with no pedicure I really had high hopes here! But was severely let down. My whole spa pedicure only lasted 19 minutes. read more

Nail forum. I wanted to get a full set of acrylic gel nail, but there was a slight misunderstanding and I ended up keeping some of my real nails while the rest were the acrylic. That I don't mind so much, what I do mind is that the acrylic nails that I do have do not look natural, they are too wide and mis-shaped from the real ones. If a person was looking for quality acrylic gel nails I wouldn't recommend this place. I'm not very happy with my result and the end price ($50) was too high and over priced. I will not come back to this place. read more

I have been a customer of Nail forum for the past 5 years and every visit is always pleasant and I leave happy with my nails. Vivian is the best. She does quality work and always make sure you are satisfied with your nails. I can't ask for a better nail tech. Nail forum is a very nice and clean salon. I live in Raleigh and it's worth the drive. Check them out you won't be disappointed. See photos of Vivian work. read more

Worst experience I have ever had in my life at a nail salon. The salon was busy so I patiently waited for a pedicure chair to open up. I got seated in about 5 minutes but no one started on me for 45 minutes. Raisin feet much?! The only words the nail tech spoke to me were "hello" and "this color" when it came time to paint my toes. He looked at my feet like I had 3 when he had to clean them up with the pumice stone. I work retail so I'm on my feet 40+ hours a week so that's why I was there...to relieve my abused feet, not to attract attention to two other nail techs when my guy was pointing at my feet. When it came time for the manicure I almost vetoed it because I was already pissed about the pedicure experience being so sucky but I figured just do it since I was already there. The guy didnt even help me grab my shoes, purse, ipad, or drink!!!! Again, the guy didn't speak to me once but to make a comment that when he trimmed my cuticles, "I had a lot" and made and "ick" face. I left after paying giving him a tip of $2. How's that!? Save yourself the frustration and DO NOT go to this place!!!!! read more

First time stopping in & I got a gel manicure, I love the way my nails look & the price ($25), was awesome! I will be back!

Very cheap salon and not in a good way. Needed to get this acrylic set off after work since it was irritating me, so I went to the closest salon at the moment which happened to be this one. One thing is for certain: do not go to this place for the removal of acrylic nails. They will pick them off and damage your nails instead of soaking them in acetone. I'll make sure to stick to going to my regular nail salon at North Hills. Hopefully the dipping powder there brings life back to my nails. read more

Great job and I had a cut on my finger they were really careful with. Gave me exactly what I wanted and the place was really really nice/incredibly clean. Ill definitely be going back! read more

We called ahead the same day and they were able to assist us as soon as we arrived. Three people worked on us. They all were very friendly and did a good job. We had mani-pedis ($40 each). My french manicure cost an additional $5. We asked for a flower on our big toes at an additional $5 per person. We selected regular nail polish for our manicure. Gel nail polish would have cost an additional $15 per person. Total $95 ($50 + $45) plus tip. They did not offer any beverages as some places do, but we were seated in massage chairs. We each also received a foot and calf massage and then a hand and arm massage. The only negative aspect is that although they spoke to us in English, the workers would talk to each other in a foreign language while giving us the pedicures and manicures. I don't think they realized that it was rude to do that, similar to whispering in front of their clients. Otherwise, they were very nice and pleasant. We would not hesitate to return for future manicures and pedicures. read more

For most of my life I've done my own toenails. I've been to salons 2x in my life as gifts and enjoyed! This was My 1st time I wanted to treat myself. I live across the street. I checked reviews. Most were good. So I went Saturday morning. They were late opening up. A regular customer waiting with me, said their always late but she like her girl. So I waited. The employee who opened even said everyone here runs late. Anyway..They showed me a color chart to look at. I started to pick one, but the regular customer told me that was the expensive gel polish. I asked the employee how much? She said an extra $15 wow! I Said never mind. I picked the $27 color. They painted my nails I went home happy. Until...two hours later after my nap it rubbed off on 2 toenails. I Went back, and they painted just the spots that rubes off. I thought OK I'm fine. PLEASE read the rest of my review. I was fooled. I went back Monday still pleasant to see them. Told my complaint and they wanted to paint just the spots over again. I said I need someone to repainted them with a fresh color. Because the other one must've been old??. After going back and forth in another language I guess the Owner said do it?? An employee told me to sit. She removed polish and repainted so fast it past over my nails onto my skin. She wiped some off. But I still have painted skin today. they made me feel very uncomfortable. I just read a review today from2/23/15 a girl who only paid $25 for gel and loved it. They wanted me to pay $27+$15=$42 it's not about money!! It's Service & HONESTY! read more

Went to this nail salon once because kb nails wasn't available and I was unsatisfied. The guy that was doing my nails kept getting up randomly while he was supposed to be doing my nails...to get a job or just stand outside and didn't say anything to me. Then he came back in and kept burping out in the open which was near my face and not saying excuse me. I didn't feel welcomed there and it wasn't a very welcoming or comforting environment around him read more

I love the environment at Nail forum! It's very elegant and relaxing. My back and legs appreciate the new pedicure chair they got so much! I do admit, it's always busy but it's because it's so popular read more

Nail Forum - I love my nails I got done at Nail forum! So fun and beautiful - Nail Salons Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

I've only been here a few times but get increasingly disappointed with each visit. The first couple times I got a fill and it turned out fine, despite them pushing to upsell me. Then I made an appointment with the same gal, yet she wasn't available, I waited despite the appointment and someone else did them. She proceeded to start a more expensive service and once I realized she just played dumb. Her response was that it was better and the same price. Nope, it was more as were future fills for that service. I tried somewhere else the next time, but eventually decided to give this salon another shot. 5 days after getting that acrylic fill one had popped and 8 of the rest were all lifting. It clearly wasn't done right. When I went back for repair, they insisted they didn't have time to repair all, and then had me wait nearly an hour to fix the one that popped. Of course they charged for that, because standing behind the quality of your service is too much to expect apparently. Two days later another popped. I've been to many salons over the years and rarely get a crummy nail job like this, especially disappointing from a place that charges higher prices that most other salons across the country for their services. I wouldn't recommend. read more

Excellent place for a pedicure. New chairs, very modern and clean. Best part is the service though. I go to keep my ingrown toenails at bay and this salon more than others really does a great technical cut. The best. read more
