    I love my nails. Every time I come to this salon I am well taken care of. The ladies are able to do designs and will not let you leave unless your nails are perfect! I would recommend this salon if you like to feel well taken care of.

    My nails were better than the inspo!

    I have been going here since I was a kid and I absolutely love it! The owner is sweet and they do the best pedicures! So relaxing! I always ask for Jessica because she always does amazing designs and shapes my nails so well!

    Cracked nail (ouch)

    What's nice: Salon setup, several services available, kind Nail Techs, they'll always fit you in; even without an appt What's not great: Even if you have an appt a walk-in can take your spot, Pedicures are spotty. Some Techs do well others horrible. No good nail techs for manicures...period Went to this salon for about 3 yrs normally to get a pedicure. When I did on occasion have my nails done they never came out well & I'm not a stickler but they're not cheap. Finally, they hired a Nail Tech that did great work. She nicked me a couple times BUT she always did great work & paid attention to detail. She said she took pride in doing a good job. Well last time I went back I was told she quit . I requested to just soak my nails off. It was a good run but didn't want crappy work. Well the Floor Manager told me she'd do a great job & give her a try. (She'd done my nails before & did crappy work). Well....I gave her "another" try & a week later my color is chipping & 2 nails have cracked in the middle which caused bleeding. She also got up at least 6-7 times while doing my nails to help other Nail Techs because they had more clients then employees to help but they kept taking more people in. It's about quality not quantity...Needless to say I don't see myself going back. That's $51 not including tip down the drain. I have an appt with a nearby shop Wed to correct this and I'll have to deal with the pain until then.

    THEY RUINED MY SANDALSS! I came in to get a pedicure with my sister, everything was great the lady who did my toes did a great job overall my pedicure service went well. What went WRONG was when I was going to put my slides on and they were nowhere to be found. My nail tech was looking around for them too and she found them four seats away from where I was sitting. They sneakily took my sandals away because they were trying to clean them. Someone somehow spilled polish all over them and I guess they tried to clean it before my service was done but obviously failed. None of them were honest after that no one told me sorry or even offered a discount still made me pay full amount and one of the girls kept looking down at my slides when I was paying she knew they fucked up.

    Just got a hot stone pedicure from Mai-lee (sp?) and it was wonderful! My feet were awful after being neglected for a year+ between Covid & having a baby...it was relaxing & exactly what I needed! The price was good ($34) and the staff all wore masks & kept a nice distance between everyone. This was my first pedicure here in GA so I don't have anywhere in the area to compare it to, but coming from NYC I thought it was a great place and I'll be going back!

    See all

    It's really who you sit with so it's probably a good idea to schedule with the same tech you had good experience with!!

    I decided to come in here because it's pretty close to home and they had great reviews…read more You should make an appointment because I walked in on a Sunday afternoon at 1pm and the man upfront asked if I could come back at 3pm they're busy. It was empty besides two other people getting their nails done but I said sure. Two women walked in at 5pm and they told both of them they couldn't do them because they're closed. They closed in an hour and one lady just needed one nail fix. I thought that was a bit disappointing to say you're closed when you weren't. Lily did a great job on my feet and took her time. They're still holding up. However, the girl that did my manicure did a mediocre job at French gel tips. I told her I wanted short, square nails but longer than my nails. She didn't put any fake nail on me at all she just painted on my own nails. I don't know if she didn't paint over the entire nail or seal it properly but there were what appeared to be bubbles under the polish. It's been a week and the gel had chipped and broke off my nail. If I'm gonna lay $100 for my nails this polish needs to stay on a maximum of 2 weeks and they chipped three days later. It's clean inside and really nice. There's so many spaces to sit and get your nails done and so many spots for pedicure. They offer different tiers for the pedicure.

    --- Draft…read moreReview/Complaint: On 8/22/25, I received a basic manicure with clear polish from Kay at Castle Nails. After leaving, I noticed that old product had been left on my nails. I immediately returned to the salon and explained the issue to the front desk assistant. He spoke with Kay (who was with another client) in their language instead of addressing me directly. Eventually, another employee told me that Kay said my nail beds were "too thin" to remove the product and that she would file it off "next time." Kay never explained this to me while performing the service, which would have been the professional thing to do. Instead, I paid $50 for a basic mani/pedi and was left with nails that were not properly done. I also want to note that while the pedicure I received from another employee was excellent, this is not the first time I've experienced rudeness or unprofessional behavior from Kay. I've noticed she treats other clients warmly, but not me. For that reason, I will not be returning to Castle Nails, nor will the people I referred. Clients deserve respect, professionalism, and transparency. Unfortunately, that was not my experience with Kay

Here's my most recent review: I was able to park just fine as this location is in a shopping plaza and has plenty of free parking. Once inside, I was able to tell them exactly what I wanted and my nail tech nailed the designed ! She's so perfect! I never have to tell her twice, worry about pain during my experience, and she's super sweet! I got a super cute design and she's been nailing each one with ease.

She quoted me $32 for pedicure and 48+ $15 for Ombre ~$64 for nails + $32 for pedi. I was okay with that price. At end of service, I was charged $10 to shape nail into (what I always get at regular salon as customer service courtesy) "almond" shape, $5 for applying tips (i was okay with this). However I was charged for an Ombre ($15) when in fact what i received was nail polish with glitter on tips not Ombre. It was cute but not Ombre! The h2o for pedicure was cold. I had to ask her to make it hot several times. My experience could have been an aberration but I left feeling like there was no more customer service in the experience. The ladies next to me paid $88 for a pedicure! They were up-charging every person and it was awfully uncomfortable to listen to people asking what if I only got gel? How much is that? Very uncomfortable. What if this or that??? Finally upon checking out, they give you option of 18% tip and up. There was no clear option to by-pass this. When I looked at receipt the charge was $220 (twice my bill)! I immediately said this was wrong. They said it was corrected. (I will need to monitor debit card over next few days to make sure the refund registered.) Will I ever return? Probably not and it is not because they did a poor job but rather it was the feeling that they were trying to up charge everyone for everything! And this was awfully uncomfortable for me.

    I was in desperate need of a relaxing pedicure on my self care day and decided to visit Elan Beauty…read moreBar since I was in the area and the reviews looked so great - so glad that I did! Elan is located inside of a quiet shopping plaza in Duluth. Although there's parking for everyone, you may have to walk down a sidewalk or two to get to your preferred biz, but you'll make it. My first impression was 5-stars because it's truly a beautiful salon! Bright with natural lighting and fabulously decorated, it definitely passed the visual vibe checks. I was welcomed in by two young ladies at the front counter who quickly set me up at a pedicure station. There are three parts to the salon and I was in the middle section and it was so quiet, even with other customers in the area. I hate that I didn't get my nail tech's name, but she was so great. I went with the 3rd tier pedicure which including a hot towel, scrub, etc. etc. No corners were cut, I was so relaxed! I opted for a pretty bubblegumish pink for my toes and she really made my feet look fabulous and renewed. After my pedicure package, gel removal and tip, I walked out paying under $100 and in this economy and with the level of service and class, I took that as a deal. Such a fantastic experience, I'm so glad that I chose Elan and will think of them when I'm back in the area!

She is thorough, meticulous with her work and just an overall beautiful and kind woman. The salon is very clean, bright and relaxing and the services are comparable to other salons in the area and the prices are affordable ($50 for the basic gel pedicure with add in options ie rose petals and coconut milk in the water etc if desired for an upgrade). My pedicure always lasts 4-6 weeks and in really busy times it will even last 8 weeks. I highly recommend this place!
