We came for pedis at 7. We called ahead and we were told ok to come in. They close at 8. I felt mine was rushed and my nails weren't clipped or filed well. Once she was done she started cleaning up so to get done to leave. read more

This place is my go to! The only salon I trust to give me a full set without any nails being crooked! Kim as very good with any design I bring to her! Carmen had the best pressure when it comes to massages/pedicures and knows how to carry a conversation and make you feel welcome! I've seen reviews about the gentlemen that's "rude" and I can tell you that he does great with my fill ins and jokingly tells me to stop trying to control my hand. Tip number one: if you don't think he's joking, you need more humor. Tip two: don't look at your hand while they're working on them, it helps you to relax them (that's what you're there for is to relax)! Kim always goes a great job with my eye brows! I do wish they offered more waxing services but I still LOVE going here and music choice is great as well! read more

Here on vacation and chose this salon because it was close to my hotel. I wasn't offered a choice of pedicure...I was given a very basic pedicure. Got uneven French tips. Some blotchy areas visible on nail bed and when I asked the lady she said "that your nail". read more

This salon always does a great job on my nails. They are very accommodating if I have a schedule restraint. The ladies are so nice, the prices are fair and I got my lashes done for the first time there and asked for them to be short and very natural looking and that is just what I got! read more

Nails 4 U - Nail Salons Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

I came in for a full set. I did not know the name of the place because there wasn't a sign. I did see a small window sign that said Nails 4 U. I was greeted quickly and sat within 2 minutes. I have never been in such a more unclean, disorganized, messy nail place. I feel like I need to get a shower now. The pedi chairs and furniture are so outdated and there is dust and nail residue everywhere. I don't know how they are allowed to be open. The man doing my nails skipped about 4 steps and did them in 15 minutes. The place was so busy and I don't get it. I would not recommend coming here. read more

So far this is the worst nail salon I've been to & It sucks because the workers were nice and friendly and worked in a timely matter. HOWEVER, they are not following COVID-19 guidelines. They do not check temperatures, they do not make you wash or sanitize your hands before working on your nails, they do not sanitize each station before sitting a new client at that station. They use the same tools (buffers, files, clippers) on everyone's nails throughout the day which is disgusting especially now during Covid! My gel nails which cost $10 extra, are already peeling after getting them done a week ago. Gel nails should last 2-4 weeks. read more

I called this salon about an hour before closing & they gladly were accepting of my appointment. From the moment I walked in, the lady (owner I believe) who did my nails was absolutely one of the rudest people I've ever came across. She rushed my nails & was mad at me for coming in late, BUT SHE ACCEPTED MY APPOINTMENT KNOWING IT WAS AN HOUR BEFORE CLOSE. While she was preparing my nails/filing/buffing , she was practically yelling at me to pick a color bc apparently even though my nails were nowhere near ready to be painted , that was causing her to stay longer ? ? Made no sense to me , she hadn't even finished prepping my nails and was adamant for me to pick a color bc as if it was going to magically make time go faster. Overall my nails were decent but I will NEVER return here. This is my second time going to this salon since I moved to Wilmington & they're just not nice people & the customer service is very unprofessional. I'm paying YOU for a service , treating your customers like s* & acting all hot & bothered all the time is NOT the way you run a business. If I could give -100 stars I would. If you're looking for a decent mani/pedi with a negative atmosphere & tons of judgement & disrespect than I'd highly recommend. Go somewhere else, it's not worth being mistreated while SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY on a service THEY OFFER. Do better "Nails 4 u"... more like "Disrespect 4 u". I really hope they read this & do better. read more

Good! One of the top Cleanest shops I've been to in all of Wilmington! The atmosphere is real welcoming. Price is reasonable. Fill in was done very well. Con: I just wanted a slight cut down but was given a major cut down and not too crazy about the length or shape I would go back but from what I see, the girls do the best work read more

Nails 4 U - Pedicure and Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Do not go there!!! Last time I went was just for a color change and fill in. When I was having the buffering done one tip was cracked on my pinky. The man then used a fake tip to dig into it to pop it off. While doing so he cracked my real nail in the middle. Once my whole back heals of my actual nail was off he then proceeded to put Acetone in the skin of my finger. He ripped my nail off to the skin then with open wound put acetone on my finger. Never said sorry just said my nail broke and couldn't put new nail on. He still charged me for removing nails! If I could give a zero star review I would. He was careless and unkind. read more

Nails 4 U - Dip manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

3.5 stars. This place has apparently been around for 10+ years and I'm the first to review it? While there is no shortage of various nail salons in Wilmington - Yelp really favors those that have reviews .... Walked in on a Friday afternoon and the place was pretty busy - about 8 nail stations and half a dozen pedicure massage chair stations. I was seated pretty quickly, but I had to wait almost 15 minutes before someone actually started on my pedicure. The water was lukewarm by then and my feet very pruney. $28.00 for the pedicure (which is expensive compared to what you can get in Oakland), but it does come with a 2 minute per foot / leg massage. The lady did a nice job on my toes and didn't tickle me too much - so as far as pedicure goes, it was a success! Yes - they take credit cards. Drying station is just a bunch of fans though ... I didn't see any UV lights. read more

Took my daughter to get her first set of acrylics done and decided to get mine done as well. They did an amazing job and it was not only quick and efficient but the prices are super as well! Will definitely be going back. It's been so many years since I've had my nails done and I'm so glad I was able to share this experience with her! read more

I walked in at 7pm and was out by 8pm(which is when they close). I had old dipping powder that needed to be soaked off, got a new full set, and got an AMAZING pink cat eye color!! I never felt rushed either! Ben was my nail technician and was VERY friendly and EXTREMELY talkative...and I LOVED THAT! SO MANY COLORS to choose from it's ridiculous that I actually chose one within a couple minutes!! I don't think people give this place enough credit to be honest. Ask for BEN for GREAT conversation! read more

Kym and Scott are AMAZING!!! I've lived here for 42 years and I have been all over Wilmington, NC getting my nails done. By far Nails 4 U has been the BEST experience from the staff making you laugh to the male technician's ACTUALLY being able to do NAILS!!!! Annnnddddd, their CHEAP!!!!! LOVE THIS PLACE!!! read more

My experience from start to finish was horrible. The middle age man that did my feet was horrible. He had a horrible attitude, unprofessional and rude. He was really aggressive and acted like he did not want to do my feet. Then a woman came over to polish them because I asked them for someone else to finish. She did two coats of polish and left to do someone else feet. She left me sitting there for 15 minutes!!!! No top coat! I wanted to get my nails filled in but I couldn't take anymore of the rudeness. Do not go to this shop!!! Then right before I left, the same guy cut the woman's foot that was sitting beside me because he was so rough!!!!! read more

Wow, just wow. Paid $10 for an eyebrow wax.. And she completely missed plucking the remainder of the hair that the wax didn't get. Won't be back. read more

Love this salon. I'm not sure why there are negative reviews because I've always had amazing service each time I go. Ever since I visited this place for the first time, I've seen Lucy. She always does a top notch job and treats my nails as if they're her own. I'll never go to another salon in Wilmington, friendly workers that speak English well, great prices, and beautiful nails!! read more

I went to get a full set French tip and French tip pedi 5/6/16. I got my pedicure first. It was nice, Nancy was friendly and even though she had to get out a slightly ingrown big toe she did a great job at minimizing pain and asking if it was hurting too much. I appreciated that. I used to get my nails done religiously but haven't for a few years so maybe it's a northern thing, but I found it odd she did my French tip with a a nail art brush. Everywhere I have ever been either airbrushes with a stencil or paints on a uniform strip of white and then wipes away a perfect edge with acetone and a brush. It seemed like a lot more trouble than it was worth trying to paint the tip of my nails with a long skinny brush, it was streaky and started to get thick where she was trying to get the edge straight, she did use acetone to clean up the edge so it still came out nicely. My acrylic full set wasn't so great. Ken I believe did my nails. He was also very friendly and gentle, didn't cut me once and moved pretty fast. Things went downhill at the french, same thing, skinny nail art polish. Now it was worse because my finger nails are larger than my toes. It was getting thick, streaky, and the edges were not straight. He painted my nails clear b4 the white so he couldn't use acetone to clean up the edge. I asked him to straighten out a few nails a few times but I realized this method was just not going to produce what I wanted and I was in there 20 minutes after closing at this point and he told me he was leaving to Gboro for his daughters grad so I didn't want to hold him up. I got under the dryer as quickly as I could and left as soon as I thought they were dry enough out of courtesy. When I got home and really inspected my nails I was sorely disappointed. My French tips not only had wobbly edges, they were slanted (see pics). And my acrylic did not reach the edge of my nails beds so it looked like I was due for a fill in! I did go back Saturday and another girl fixed them beautifully. Ken was there but chose not to say anything to me at all. I would think a "I apologize, that's not our level of quality, sorry for the inconvenience" nothing. I'm on the fence about whether I'd return because I did like the other two girls work, but the customer service just wasn't what I felt it should be. read more

If I could give a 0 I would... NEVER AGAIN will I EVER go here!!! Not only did the guy act like he didn't wanna do my nails, they cracked in half the first day having them and eventually ripped not 1 but 2 of my nails off. GET THIS the lady charged my card for what was only supposed to be $45 ended up being $89 on accident which is fine just void it. But no at first she said you owe $45 more on top of that and your money will go back on within 24 hrs.... 5 days later they charged me $45, I have no nails on any more and I was left crying with burning ripped nails. I am a licensed cosmetologist so I did everything safely as far as removal but from the cracks (I got the powder dip with extensions) my nails are ruined. So no never again!!! read more

Kim got me right in to get a pink & white fill-in. Polite and quick service! Thanks!

One of the worst nail salons I have been to. We're very rude, unsanitary, and my nails look awful. The man doing my nails refused to cut them even though I like them short. He only filed them, which I didn't want. They are all different lengths. I asked for a gel manicure. The gel is uneven, bumpy, and I can still see parts of my nail on each on. I am extremely unsatisfied. I will not be returning, and I don't recommend anyone tryjng this place. TLC nails is way better. read more

Got dip nails here 4 days ago. Already all chipped. Total waste of $40. Don't come here.

I tried this place one time before and are used to like it because like I know like you're not supposed to judge you please buy the first time going there but I did anyway so I got my nose in another place actually then just went there to get a topcoat and on the Silas at six dollars I want to pay in then they charged me $10 and they were kind of rude and they kind of cheated me out of four dollars just like make sure you know what you're doing and make sure you double checked and I didn't want to make a big scene about it so I just paid the extra four dollars even though I planned on going to the store cause I had a budget and I didn't want to spend all my money and the nail salon because I paid for my nails in someone else's except for they didn't have theirs so I had to pay for a full set for gel I had to pay for a nail polish replacement soI thought I knew what I was doing and I overpaid which I should've said something and yeah and by the way I also called the people right after I paid $10 for my nails I asked how much would it be and they said six dollars literally like two seconds ago and just know not to get cheated out of your money and you go there your quality is good I guess from my experiences there is that for they jack the prices the little bit and I've noticed that I don't know if the man needed four dollars or whatever but he charge me way over the nails aren't even that pretty the paint is not on the side kind of thing and it's not really pretty so yeah read more

I just moved here and I'm on the hunt for a nail salon. The owner is greedy... Very greedy. I went for a pedi and a fill. The pedicure was good. No complaints there. I'd go back for that.... Or maybe not due to price. $28 for a basic pedi is a bit too much. The girl I had was VERY sweet... I want to leave a 1 star but she was just so nice and bless her heart, she tried. Once she began drilling, I knew I was doomed. I had a clear top coat of gel polish on my acrylics. Every nail tech I've had, applies this top coat complimentary. It helps the acrylic from staining and provides a solid shine over the acrylic. The owner wanted $10 just to paint the same top coat of gel polish over the acrylic. That is absurd. The bottle of gel polish only costs $10 so no girl.... I'm not going to pay you that for a measly paint job. Moral of the story.... My nails look terrible. I didn't have her paint them. She filed them too low so the old acrylic is showing. I'll just re-do them myself and apply the top coat myself but I wonder what I paid $17 for? Complete waste. Didn't want to complain at the salon because I didn't want to get the nail tech in any trouble. The boss(es) don't look too friendly except for when they want your money. read more

Worst pedicure I've ever had. The entire thing start to finish was 15 minutes. I came because I'm 7 months pregnant and wanted to get a little relaxation. She rushed the entire process and it was anything but relaxing. Won't be coming back. read more

Shout out to Kim, she did my nails for my cousin this morning and they look amazing. The workers here are friendly and helpful. After chatting with Kim, i'm acknowledged that she is actually the new owner of the shop. Come and check it out.

This was literally the worst acrylic I've ever gotten. I was waiting for 30 minutes while there were girls sitting doing nothing. I started and the girl did such a sloppy job i could have done better myself. The girl didn't even cut my cuticles and my nails are uneven. I would stay away from this place at all costs. Definitely not coming back read more

Every time me and my daughter go we are very pleased with their work and price which is awesome and reasonable. I have been getting my nails done for years and have been around the Wilmington and surrounding areas. The owner do her best to solve any problem. I have witness for myself, but some people just love to complain. read more

I am very disappointed in this salon. I went in for a pedicure and the entire thing lasted 15 minutes! The man didn't work on my feet at all, I had to ask him to cut my cuticles. He didn't buff my nails or even file them. I was shocked when he started painting, literally the laziest pedicure I have ever had! Also, the massage lasted about 1 minute, a massage doesn't feel good when the person giving it has wet rubber gloves on. Please don't waste you hard earned money!! read more

I love this salon. All the pedicurists are really friendly and good. I've had almost all of them at one point or another. They use good nail polish (OPI, etc.) and have nice products for the spa pedicures. The chairs are all massaging and there is even a smaller chair for children or smaller people. I would highly recommend this nail salon. read more

Was searching for a good nail salon in Wilmington... Ran onto this one and it had good reviews. Now I know why. Everyone was very professional and friendly. I'll admit I went in with some messed up nails, now they look good as new. The place was clean, the service was fast but they still took their time giving you what you want... If your looking for a place for a good mani/pedi or eyebrow wax, I recommend Nail 4 U. read more
