Came in for a gel mani. Not my usual place but it was close so I decided to give it a shot. It's been a week and my nails are already fading at the ends. Pretty upset since my usual place lasts 3-4 weeks
So, I'm not somebody who ever feels the need to leave a review for everything, but after my experience at Nail Society, I knew that needed to change. I've had a hard time finding a nail salon, both in Philadelphia and outside, that can take care of my nails. They seem to break super easily, and I've had issues in the past getting a beautiful gel manicure only to have my nails break a week later. And, even when finding a good salon, I would have a problem with rude technicians or not accepting credit cards (I hate carrying cash, what can I say). There is so much to love about Nail Society. I went in for an eyebrow wax and gel manicure. I'm always afraid that my eyebrows will be made too thin so I have a hard time finding somebody new to do it. I made sure to specify that I wanted to keep them thick and the shape and thickness did not disappoint! I found them to be perfectly shaped and kept thick enough. As well, I did not find the wax to be harsh on my skin and did not have a problem with bumps around my eyebrows, even after waiting a few hours before I was able to put lotion around my eyebrows. Now, onto the gel manicure. My technician, Lynn, was so sweet and helpful with picking colors and a nail design. I did not tell her about my issues with nails breaking, but it didn't even matter, because she did such an amazing job trimming and shaping my nails. Even when she was done, the polish did not feel heavy on my nails, and I knew that this would be a manicure to last. Overall, a nail salon with super nice and talented people. The picture here is my manicure after 2.5 weeks, so take note that the technicians really do a great great job!
MUST READ: This had to be the most AWFUL nail salon experience I have ever had in my entire life and I wish I could say I am exaggerating but I'm not. My first and last time getting my nails done here. The review on BOTH Yelp and Google are accurate and truthful when it comes to the salons customer service. How do I know? Simple, I was charged $140 to cover two basic manicures ($15 each) and what was supposed to be two Spa Pedicures ($30+ each). Apparently the women who did our feet performed an Organic Pedicure for $55 each even though she clearly OFFERED SPA pedicure over and over again to us. I never got a receipt so when my significant other told me how much the total was I was in disbelief. They also did not give a receipt physically or emailed one. The next day we called to address about it and like previous comments said the salon tried to shift blame on the consumers and saying we paid for the services there's nothing they can do about it. I had to pull up the salon right after that phone call because we needed to make sense of this. I want reviewers and future consumers to know it took everything in my soul not to lose my cool when I walked back into this place because I hate dishonest business owners and what makes matters worse is I tipped both women $25 because they essentially did do a good job only to find out they were dishonest! The audacity of it all. Then they have this appointment policy of $25 deposits which are non-refundable to figure and this policy isn't even posted on the sign in the salon. That's damn near stealing money from customers. In addition according to the website if you didn't show up the salon were going to charge you ADDITIONAL for that! Which the website does not list the fee price! I included the screenshot as proof, I can't make this up. The fact that we went on a whole expedition for their website is another story in itself. When I did get to the salon I expressed that I was really upset as a customer I felt lied to and that's simply not how you do business and requested the deposit back because that was the least that could have been done. To make matters worse now it's days later and my nails look absolutely terrible the polish started chipping the next day. These were not the regular wear and tear chips these were chunks of polish coming off. The salon has a nice aesthetic, the potential to be great but they really need lessons on customer service because this isn't it. I couldn't update the website but below is their website, I suggest you review their entire services page before booking so you are aware should you go to this place. www.vagaro.com/us03/nailsociety
The woman who did my nails clearly didn't like me for some reason and yelled at a me like I was a toddler. Her name was My Luong. The matte coat on top of my dip powder nails is already peeling and I got them done an hour ago. The black powder is also all over my hands and won't come off. She up-charged me $20+ dollars and never told me for what. It was a horrible experience and I wish I could rate it 0/5 stars.
It was my first time here and unfortunately will be my last. My nails look awful. They took me as a walk in but were rushed to get their appointments in on time... if they didn't have the time to do a decent job they shouldn't have taken me. I left with acrylics that were lumpy, lifted at cuticles, all uneven lengths and honestly just disgusting. The owner and Hannah both worked on my nails, both rushed, left glue all over the misshapen, jagged claws that were too big for my natural nails. They clearly didn't care at all about my return business and charged me $65. Never again
Decided to try somewhere new and got a dip. The color is not what I wanted/expected and the top coat left so many air bubbles. Most importantly, she filed so deep into my nail beds that they're scratched up and really hurts. She also used her own finger nails to push my cuticles back, which is gross. Maybe I had this experience because of the specific tech who did my nails, but I'm just going to stick with my old nail salon. Definitely not worth the price.
Best service at a Nai salon that i have ever had. They have amazing prices and the employees really know there stuff. The environment is very clean and youthful. I am now making this my regular nail salon. I will be back in two weeks.
I have been going to Rittenhouse Nails for a decade, but Nail Society is close to my house so thought I'd give it a try. I called to see if I needed an appointment and was told they could take me right away. In fact it was empty when I got there which I think is thanks to the Eagles game (go Birds). The woman who did my gel manicure was very nice and personable. They don't use CND Shellac here which is my regular brand, but I found a color similar to the one I like in OPI. This is the only place I've been to that doesn't use acetone to get the polish off which is great. The process was quick. The only downside was that the nails on my left hand have a slightly bulbous look which I think is from uneven UV light exposure. The lamp is under the table so I couldn't really see how my hand was positioned inside. All in all it was a good experience and you can't beat the price ($30 for gel manicure). I'll definitely be back!
Used to love the place until I realized having an appointment means nothing. This time I waited 30 mins after my appointment time to have services started and the last time I waited 1 hour after my scheduled appointment before services started. Also, if you want something like the picture below they can't do it. Pretty disappointing for me since this nail appointment was for my wedding and now I'm just stuck with basic nails for it.
What a beautiful new salon in NoLibs! It's got great decor and is very clean and sanitary. You can see that the tools are packaged and sterile before they start working on you and disposed of after use. The service is great as is their attention to detail. The staff and owners are really friendly. I was a walk-in and treated myself and got a signature pedicure. Super fancy! Rose pedals, paraffin dip, and a cup of bubbly (or coffee/tea if bubbly isn't your thing). Plus the chairs are like thrones!! It was hands down the best pedicure I've ever gotten. I also got my first eyelash extensions here and I. am. obsessed. I got the hybrid lashes and am never looking back. Sopa did a great job! Def make an appointment for lashes, though. I lucked out and got them done when there was an opening. I highly recommend this place!
LOVE this recently opened salon - great prices and amazing work! I've gone here several times, and they have done exactly what I've asked for both times. The salon itself is super cute and clean! Pricing is cheaper than anywhere in the area, they can do any design or look you ask for. Highly recommend! I go to Julie, one of the owners but all do amazing work!

Typically I have a great experience at nail society almost all staff is fully capable. However, yesterday I got a gel manicure with a very simple design and that the nail tech was unable to execute. I did what any millennial would do.... Left without complaint and attempted to fix them at home myself. But because these nails are for my engagement photos I decided it would be worth it to call and complain. Not only did they blame me, they were refused to fix them and told me I should have said something while I was there. Which makes no sense because the tach had another client waiting and did a rushed job and everyone in the shop could see the service was unsatisfactory. PLEASE SPECIFY WHICH TECHS HAVE LIMITED TALENTS!! It should not be the responsibility of the general public to determine which nail tech is the best fit for a standard gel manicure. Unacceptable. read more
I've never had a gripe with Nail Society until yesterday. They usually provide consistently good customer service. However, I was charged $5 "to shape" my already round nails when I decided to get an acrylic overlay. How is this NOT included in proper nail care? The nail tech has to file my nails anyway. She didn't reshape them. I still don't understand why I was charged $5 but I definitely won't be coming back. read more

My gel is chipping off after two days. The coats were uneven and thin and my cuticles looked horrible. She even got gel on my skin in some areas. Cut my toe cuticle to the point of bleeding so now I have a scab. I wish I could be refunded. read more

My gel manicure after 8 days... they looked really pretty immediately after my manicure and started chipping a few days after. The gel feels extremely 'thin'. Going to keep getting my nails done in the suburbs read more

Let me just say everything was PERFECT!!! For starters the salon was pitch clean. Very chic and glamorous designs. They have ton of colors to choose from. From gel to acrylic and even dip powders. My friend had a dip powder with manicure done and it's been almost a week and a half and it still looks fresh. I've got the gel with European manicure done and it still looks perfect!! That manicure isn't like your basic manicure. I never seen my cuticle looks so clean before. I think that's what made the gel last for so long. I also got Swarovski rhinestone/crystals on. You can tell it's good quality because till this day it's still super shiny and doesn't change color. All the staff was super friendly and helpful! Very patient and all down to earth to talk to. My first time and definitely not my last! I will be coming back for sure!! 5 stars!!!(: read more
