I don't know how this place does not have higher stars. The inside is definitely a basic nail…read moresalon, but the quality of work is 10 out of 10. I was in over a month ago for nails while I was in town and have been doing gel overlays at my salons in the Raleigh area - where after 2 -3 weeks I needed to return for lifting and they would file down the nails and start over. Over a month ago I randomly walked in here, they saw me immediately, made a recommendation on a service that was healthier, but still heavy duty...and today I'm waiting for them to open up so I can call and ask her what she did because my nails are grown out but still in great shape! Don't trust the lower reviews here. I don't know who was upset at her, but my nails came out great! On top of that I also found out that the owner is a military family...so win win on supporting a small biz and a military family during my 4th of July trip!

I came in for a cut and balayage, and the results were even better than I imagined. The color is soft, natural, and perfectly beachy--like I just spent a week on the Carolina coast.

Adelina's Nail Care

Adelina rents a small booth area inside Plaza Hair Design and has been there for about 6 years now…read more She provides manicures, including gel nails, and pedicures. She does not offer dip powder. Gel manicures are $35, $40 with design. Pedicures are $30. Her schedule is usually from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Saturday by appointment only. Her schedule is very busy so it might be difficult to fit her in. Definitely schedule as early as possible. I scheduled mine 3 weeks in advance and the latest I was able to get was 3:30 p.m. on a Tuesday. She did gel nails on my natural nails. I appreciated that she applied cuticle remover, then pushed back and cut my cuticles before starting the gel manicure, which Nails Image didn't do. Throughout the gel manicure, she had clean comfortable towels for me to lay my arms on. The manicure was pretty clean. I just wished she did nail art designs by hand. She has some designs she transfers onto the nails, including flowers, butterflies, and leopard print. After the gel manicure was complete, she applied cuticle oil and hand cream. As she applied hand cream, she did a quick massage on my hands and forearms, which was a nice surprise. The manicure took a little bit over an hour. I felt just a tad bit rushed since she had her next appointment scheduled an hour after mine. Adelina was friendly and was nice enough to give me a $5 discount since I was a first time customer.

Did not do most of the things I've had with prior pedicures. Staff is talkative and loudread more

I've gotten pedicures there recently and decided to try their hair stylist. I was given a name Frankie and proceeded to schedule an appointment. Before the appointment, I showed her a photo of my desired style. She looked over it several times and guided me to shampoo station where she pushed my head and hair around way too harshly and without much care as to how it felt. When I said, "hey, slow down", she responded, "we're either a good fit, or not!" Hmm? The cut was exactly the opposite of what I had asked for, after asking to see the photo several times. Now, I will say that it was in no way the cut I requested but the worst part was after going there for a pedicure and mentioning my displeasure to my pedi person about the haircut and she agreed there was no similarity between the photo and my hair. No problem. It's not the first haircut that I got where I wasn't satisfied. And because of Frankie's (Trish?) attitude at the appointment, I didn't dare go back and complain. All that being said, I attempted to make another Pedi appointment and was told they were not accepting appointments for me. No explanation, nothing, just no appointment for me! So, hopefully, the owner,Melinda is reading this and will explain where their professionalism came from. Thanks for listening. I just received a response from Melinda on my post. None of what she said was in any way accurate. The desk person stated that all she knew was that she was not allowed to schedule me AND at the time I was getting the cut, there were a total of one other client and Liz in the entire salon when I was there and the only person who said anything negative was the stylist. I was too shocked to speak. I in no way complained about the cut to her, but it was mentioned to Liz who had referred me to the stylist, when I was there a week later.

And on my way out I noticed the guy that sits at the front doing an amazing French set! So I booked an appointment for today for a Gel X set with French but left disappointed. My tech today was someone else and seemed to struggle with technique and the reference photo that I shared. After much back and forth on the shape of the French and the lack of choices for a darker base color, I was surprisingly charged $20 extra at checkout for asking for french like the picture- which I ultimately did not end up with. I will be back for another relaxing pedicure with Jen but I don't think I'll be back for nails.

I really dislike writing negative reviews…read more I had a gel pedicure and while the technician was very nice and gave a great leg massage, my nails are a mess. The cuticles are not done correctly, my nails aren't filed smoothly, and the polish is messy and is all on my skin, and it's already peeling! Additionally, the first time I was at this salon, it was a great vibe, and everyone seemed happy. This time, it was tense in there to the point of being uncomfortable. Before leaving this review, I emailed the owners as soon as I noticed how bad it was and included pictures. They replied quickly and said they'll do it over. They called the next day to ask about availability, and said they'd check the schedule and get back to me. Two days later, and I have not heard back from them. I've followed up twice. At this point, I am no longer interested in a redo. I just wish it'd been done correctly the first time. I rarely spend money on pedicures, so I am very disappointed.

I've genuinely never been disappointed with the service at Wilmington Nail Salon. In my opinion,…read morethis is one of the best bang-for-your-buck nail salons in the area. It's a cute, quaint little salon tucked away in The Cotton Exchange, and they offer a parking pass for the lot behind The Cotton Exchange, so parking doesn't have to be an added expense. The staff is always professional, talented, and clearly skilled at what they do. I especially appreciate that the nail artists seem to truly specialize in their craft. My shaping is always on point, and the leg massages actually have good pressure and technique without ever leaving me bruised or irritated afterward. The salon itself is always clean and welcoming. I'd honestly love to keep this place on the DL so the prices don't start creeping up, but they deserve the hype. I've tried other salons closer to me and usually leave disappointed because the service just doesn't compare. Wilmington Nail Salon is a little farther of a drive for me, but it's absolutely worth it.
