My mom and I had our first visit at this salon today and we were both extremely pleased! I made an appointment for us to get gel manicures and I had a special request for a design. I came in and was sat right away- I showed them a picture of what I wanted and the technician ending up doing a beautiful job! My mom and I are both very happy with our nails and we will definitely be back in the future! read more

First time -- first impression. Showed up at scheduled appointment time. 2 for mani 2 for pedi. Said she was short staffed which happens. But, they kept taking walk-ins and skipping around on us. I had 3 different people work on my basic pedicure. It was just not relaxing at all - Total cluster. One of the gel manicures took 2 hours! Btw. 2 in the party are regulars and they were not even prioritized as having an appointment and being regular customers. End results were average quality and average price. Customer service F. Will not be back. May I recommend solar star on gilead in huntersville for great results, price and service. read more

This is prettydecent if you need a last minute pedicure. They can almost always take you and the staff is friendly. Summer more experience than others however.You may have to pay attention and not scald your feet in the boiling tub, and let your tech know if you have a slight ingrown as some of the techs seem new-ish. The owner does an excellent job but seems to be unavailable, not doing nails most of the time, for whatever reason. This place was really on point when the previous owner Sarah was working and was great the first 6 months the new owners took over but I think the energy of the area has sucked them in a bit. Clients here can be more tolerant and I think it's easy for businesses to get complacent. Still, it's a beautiful salon and appears pretty clean, color selection is good. Easy to get an appt. Overall a pretty good choice for the area read more

We tried Nails Design on 3/31 for the first time and will definitely return! The staff was so wonderful. They were all so nice and we enjoyed chatting with them as we got our manicure and pedicures. The work was perfect. My nails have never looked this good. I got a gel Manicure and regular pedi and and my daughter got regular mani and pedi. The facility was lovely too, so much natural light and no acrylic smell at all, very well ventilated. We live in Mooresville but will absolutely make the trip back to Cornelius. We've found our new salon!! read more

Owner very rude - It's laughable how awfully she speaks to paying customers! My experience was rushed and very rough.

We love Nail Deign and the family! We receive excellent care from our nail technicians. Made an appointment as they are always booked.

I love love my gel manicure every single time. My nails last a really long time and they always have the latest colors and collections. read more

I chose this place based off the Yelp reviews and I'm so glad I did! I went in yesterday and got a deluxe pedi and gel mani. The pedi included mask, scrub, paraffin wax-it was really nice! I'm pleased with how my toes look. Then I did a gel mani with design on a couple nails. It looks so good! I had Phea, who was so sweet to me. Everyone was very friendly there, they had lots of colors to pick from, and I will definitely be back!! read more

I think I have found my new nail salon! I've been looking for a new place for about a month. This place had a lot of great reviews on Yelp so I decided to trust my fellow Yelpers and check it out. I am happy that I made an appointment in advance because this place is super busy. They turned away a few walk-ins while I was there. Alvin did my SNS nails and, let me tell you, he is super detail oriented. You can tell that he is very proud of his work and wants to make sure your nails are perfect. At first I thought boy he is slow but then I realized he is really just very conscientious. Trust me: it's worth the time that he takes. My nails turned out beautiful! Bonus: they are open on Sundays! I will be back this weekend to get my pedicure. Prices are in line with other salons in the area. The establishment is bright and clean. I also spoke with a woman named Jenny who works there. I'm not sure if she's one of the owners but she was very pleasant and professional. read more

My favorite nail salon!!! I travel an hour to go here because I always receive excellent service and my nails last forever! My friend and I always have a great time with all the girls and Alvin. We've been coming for about a year and have never had a bad experience. read more

Nails Design - Gel Powder Nails and Gel Polish by Jenny! - Nail Salons Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

Lived in the Huntersville/Cornelius area for over 13 years. I was tired of going to nail places where I felt like I wasn't getting the attention I need. Most places try to finish your nails as quick as they can and push you out the door. Since I've been coming here I've gotten to know many of the nail techs, learn about their lives, and most importantly I don't feel like I'm being rushed in and out. They really take care of you here and Jenny makes sure of that! read more

Khemary was amazing. She did my nail design perfectly and even fixed one that wasn't quite perfect with no attitude when I pointed it out. Very reasonably priced and an awesome girls' day with my sister getting mani-pedis. No complaints! read more

Nails Design - 1920s inspired nails by Khemary!! Love how they turned out. - Nail Salons Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

Wonderful experience! Quality pedicure for a super reasonable price. No rushing through the massage, super attentive to detail while polishing. Very very happy and I'll be back when I'm on this side of town! read more

Awful customer service by Jenny the owner. Not professional. Doesn't respect client's time and feelings.

UPDATE: The usual excellent service and friendly staff. I liked seeing the foot basins being thoroughly scrubbed by a special worker between clients. I hope they keep up the good work! Great experience, even as a walk-in during the week before Easter! I like that they have more staffing than the previous owner, and everyone was very friendly. There wasn't any formal, awkward atmosphere that I've noticed at other salons, just a clean place and a good deluxe pedicure. Khemary did a professional job on my toes and I will definitely go back. read more

the BEST nail salon. Well priced, so thorough and all The women there are so sweet. Don't go anywhere else read more

This place is very nice. We got there right when it opened to get pedicures. The employees were very sweet and did a fantastic job on our services. It was very relaxing and will be back again to get a gel mani! Thank you read more

My brother , mom & I attempted to get our feet done today as we were in town visiting my brother who works at Davidson college. As soon as we walked in we were turned away and told that they don't do walk ins and it was a holiday weekend , mean while it says walk ins welcome on the sign in front of the door. Keep in mind this was a week before a holiday . There where several nail techs just siting there. I would have to agree with the previous post this place does not want to want to deal with people of color. Two people walked in before us were immediately seated & they did not ask them if they were there for an appointment. I will not recommend this place to anyone . read more

Finally a good nail salon! Nina was courteous and did quality work. Plenty of colors to choose from. I was offered water, soda or wine before they started. The salon is comfortable and clean. I moved to NC 5 months ago it took this long to find good work at a decent price. Very happy to have found this place. read more

I love to come to get my nails done here. Alvin is great. Everyone is so nice and very professional. Will always come here to get my nails done. The prices are great and the service is even better! read more

I am shocked to see negative reviews on here, as I have had only fantastic experiences here. Polite owners/ workers, family/owned, attentive, and wonderfully efficient (I am often in a hurry, so I ask for speedy service rather than pampering). Good prices and my gel nails last 4 weeks easily -- I can't say enough good about Nail Design. read more

I have been going to this nail salon for over a year and a half. Katie is my nail tech and I am so happy with her work. This salon has the the largest selection of SNS co,ors I have ever seen. I will not go to any other nail salon. Highly recommend! read more

Came in the other day with a few friends from out of town and all these ladies were so nice and talkative to not only us, but the other nail techs around us. I also messed up my polish putting on my shoe and they fixed it with no hesitation! They also got us drinks a few minutes into the experience. I would recommend this place to anyone, it's very simple, clean and they are so friendly! read more

Would give them a zero if I could. Bad attitude from the moment I walked in the door: no eye contact, hello, etc. Good bye! Turned right around and walked out. I refuse to patronize businesses who are lacking in excellent customer service, and I'm calling them out. read more

This is the best place I have ever visited! Nice atmosphere, clean, and perfect mani and pedi!!! read more

Best SNS in the Lake Norman area!!! They are very popular so I recommend making an appointment to avoid disappointment.

We booked 2 appointments and were there on time. After 15 minutes they put us in chairs in warm water. After 1/2 hour my friend was helped but I was still sitting. I asked when someone was going to help me and she said as soon as someone is finished. I'm sorry but when you take appointments you should have scheduled people to work on us. I left so I don't know how the nails would have been. I'll go back to Bellagio where they always are on time for appointments. read more

I used to come here all the time when it was previously owned by a different lady and I always had superb service. Today I came here with a friend to catch up and relax and get a full set. I was not once offered any sort of beverage. The technician started my nails, she cut one of my cuticles and then applied the nails, shortly after I complained about a burning sensation and it was completely disregarded. A few moments later the burning increased and she mumbled something to her boss who became very defensive and stated her products were top of the line and it was clearly my skin. I proceed to tell this rude lady that I have had acrylics on and off since I was 15. I am now 34 and I had never experienced this nor was I questioning her products. She suggested I just go home and take an Advil, seriously a damn Advil!! She then stated we'll just take them off, I don't care. I found her to be abrasive and clearly unprofessional. I will never return here and I would suggest others find a different location. This is the worse experience I have ever received at a nail salon! I have a very close friend of mine that is also a nail technician and she said this was the most absurd thing she had ever heard from a salon owner!! Don't go here unless you want pain and an attitude! read more

Made an appointment here for 12:30 for a full set, I'm in a time crunch most days due to work so I had to be done by 2:15, giving plenty of time for my set. I get there and end up waiting 30 minutes then she says she won't be able to do it in time. So I ask about coming back at 6:15 since that's the earliest I could and she said they close at 7 so she can't. No apologies or anything. Really disappointing read more

They did an ok job, but not stellar. I had Phea. She didn't give any kind of decent massage- just put the lotion on, rubbed it in, and wiped it off. Also, my nails are shaped funny, and she has a lot of trouble applying polish. She painted the nail with gel polish over and over but only at the tip. When all was dried, the base of my nail is very light and the tip is thick and dark. It looks funny. I've read that it should take no more than three swipes of polish to properly do it! And the layers should be thin and even. The tech next to her gave a great polish, so I may ask for Khemery next time. read more
