    Walking in and seeing the salon, it is not a super glam nail salon like others in Chapel Hill. I had booked a 6:30 appointment, he was behind and we started around 7. I had let him know my recently bad ventures with other salons and how poorly shaped and managed the acrylic was. He took his time to fill-in my nails and do them correctly. I was very impressed by his level of detail and attention. His youngest son was so fun, he shared with me his drawings and Godzilla. My appointment finished around 8:40pm. It was a long appointment but again, he fixed the damage from 2 other salons with detail. I love my nails, shape is a bit different than requested but these are the best they've looked in awhile! While I was there, I booked a fill-in for 3 weeks and this appointment will be with his wife.

    This place is absolutely fantastic. I came in with a picture and they were able to execute the photo flawlessly. It's a family business, and the owners' kids are so sweet!

    I've been here a few times and have had 3 different nail techs and have been satisfied each time. Seriously, the most meticulous pedicure I've ever had in my life. I was introduced to the dipping power technique in GA and was looking for a salon here to deliver the same quality that didn't require a drive to Raleigh/Durham. Nail Tek did just that! Customer Service - A1! Every time I ask for something non traditional their response is always "I can try". Never a "no" which I can appreciate. Also, during my initial visit they only had 2 colors for dip powders but when I returned to get my nails redone they had ordered at least ten more! Location - If you are in any of the governor's communities it's a quick drive (or walk) away. Perfect. Ambiance - Leaves a lot to be desired. It is small and not really modern or much decor. You do not get that spa like atmosphere at all. Nails - I LOVE THEM. The dip powder is natural and healthier for your nails, and no uv lights needed and lasts for about a month. They always do a great job, even when I was doing the gel polish. Waxing - LOVE IT. I have only gotten my eyebrows done but it was seriously the most pleasant experience I have had of someone ripping hair out of my face. It seriously did not hurt, I was very confused lol. 2 things keeping them from a 5 star for me is the ambiance and the fact that some of the nail art is limited. I understand they have to appeal to the demographics around them but as a young woman (most customers I have seen are more "mature") I like some of the more guady, blingy and trendy styles that aren't offered here. The additional dip colors are a start though so I plan to make this my regular salon!

    Had my polish changed and it was exactly what i was looking for as far as being quick, cheap (18$), having a multitude of options. Downside: As a i walked in a man was texting and told me welcome without even glancing up from his phone. I expected some sort of quick excuse like "sorry my girlfriend" like anything really but to act like i needed to wait for him to finish his text was a little annoying. Secondly they rounded my nails with out asking (which i ended up liking so that's alright) and my nails are already scratching 4 days later.

    Is there a smell from the acrylic polish in the salon?

    I have never experienced any chemical smells here

    Be careful that they don't overcharge you if you go in and you tell them you don't want jail it…read moredoesn't matter they will give you jail and then they will charge you for it a fill-in for acrylic which normally cost about $28-$30 They wanted to charge 57 and then she acted like she didn't speak English when I said I wasn't happy

    I've had a few episodes of miscommunication that I've tried to write off. However, it's happened…read moreenough where I'm going elsewhere to get my nails done from now on. A couple months ago, I made an appointment through their website during business hours. When I came at the appointed time, the door was locked. I called and someone picked up and told me she was sick and to make an appointment for a different day, even though my initial appointment had been placed and I had gotten a confirmation text. I didn't even get a discount for coming on a different day after driving to their shop initially, and finding them closed during business hours and with a scheduled appointment. This week, I received a birthday text to get $10 off my next visit. I had gotten my nails done a week ago and they were already chipped but I figured I would just come get them done again instead of asking for them to be redone, since there was a decent discount. The same person who had done my nails last week, which chipped, did my nails this time. The job was rushed and I had to ask my nail person to clean up the edges before leaving because he wanted to send me out with paint still on my skin around the nails on both hands. This poor service was already concerning. When I got to the cash register I showed them the $10 off text and they told me it was only for certain services so they wouldn't give me the discount, even though none of that was stated in the text. I asked them if they would send out these stipulations with their texts in the future because otherwise it's misleading. They told me no. I still paid them and tipped decently even though I honestly felt like giving them no tip with how bad the service was. This was more a reflection of me trying to bring my own emotions under control and be a better person, than any reflection of their service which was very poor. But I no longer plan to come to them in the future. The problem isn't just the service...it's the refusal to improve communication even after I've spoken with them about it and given them multiple chances to improve. Update: it's been less than 24 hours and my nails are already chipped again. The excuse is that it's regular polish. I've had my nails done with regular polish by other nail salons and it lasts more than a day. Making excuses for poor work and doing nothing to improve, is unacceptable in my opinion.
