Devastated. came here for special occasion i hope they can grow out enough and stop bleeding in 3 days. ‍ ALSO.. charged for premium but gave me signature... ten extra and for what read more

Great, quick service. Staff was nice and they're open pretty late for Dublin. Will be back!

READ THIS REVIEW!!! I'm only being so negative as to warn others before coming to this salon. This was, by far, the worst manicure I've ever received. At first, I was given an employee who had never done nails before (it was her first day), she pushed back/worked on my cuticles for over an HOUR - before I was switched to another employee who spent ANOTHER 1.5 hours on them + hurt me often with roughness (had two fingers that bled). There is paint residue all around my hands, and the lengths are completely uneven. I'm gonna repeat - it took TWO & a HALF hours for this manicure. This is my first time ever leaving a negative review on Yelp, and it is for a reason. Seriously, do not go here. Was surrounded by people also having issues with pain and paint smudging. read more

The worst customer service. They don't inform you when buying a gift voucher that it can ONLY be used in the Wicklow street location. I now have a €50 gift voucher that I can't use as the girl who does my brows only works in Tallaght. Girl I was dealing with said this is a known issue, multiple people have been stung by it and they refuse to do anything about it. Will never give them by business again and I was there every 4/5 weeks like clockwork. Horrible way to treat loyal customers. read more

Don't go to Nails Dundrum if you want any colour you are looking for or any similar alternatives. picked 3 different colours none available and not offered any similar alternatives just told to pick a different colour. I would not have gotten my nails taken off if I knew in advance none of the options would be available, getting family photos done tomorrow and had to panic a colour that is just awful. Extremely disappointing service will not ever be going back read more

if 0 stars was an option I would choose it. the WORST place in Dublin to get your nails done. I made the mistake of going twice to see if the second time would be any better. Service is shocking, my nails were chipped and coming off within a day, the price is outrageous for the service provided also. k nails is across the street, friendly service, okay prices and nails that last - don't waste your time or money here, it is just not worth it!! Unfortunately my friend had a similar experience with the staff here - she was sick, called to alert them of this, they hung up on her and after her sending multiple emails explaining the situation they still charged her for a nail appointment that she couldn't attend. When seeking a refund or to reschedule they said that this wasn't possible and recommended that she should have (whilst sick) gotten a friend to go to the appointment ?? The basic standard of customer service is no where to be seen in this place and the end result if you do get your nails done here is a reflection of that. AVOID!! read more

They were very accommodating by scheduling me in short notice. I was getting my nail extensions removed, and the nail tech was extremely rough. she filed my nails down to nothing, to the point of the service being very painful. at the end of the service, I felt that several of my nails were so thin that I couldn't touch them without being in pain. It's been a month since I got them removed there and my nails are still falling apart. I'm nervous about getting an infection since my nails are so thin and the top breaks so bad that there's not much protecting the top of my fingers. I'm just really worried... I usually don't leave bad reviews but this has been really bad. read more

Extremely disappointing. Do NOT go to this salon. I was stuck for a nail appointment so I went in for BIAB (builder base) top up. When removing my shellac/builder base the nail tech drilled with the electric file so far down my natural nails it was burning my fingers and they were almost cracking straight away. The BIAB was extremely thin and when I questioned it the tech told me it was "much nicer" than before because it hadn't been pretty before. As someone used to having this done I know it was done far too quickly for the nails to be done properly also done far too quickly to last. Within 36 hours my nails were cracking at the sides (photo below). I went to a salon I trust for advice and they were shocked at the destruction caused to my nails. At this point I needed to have 4 wrapped in plasters to stop further cracking. I went back within 48 hours to ask for a refund in person. The man at the till firstly didn't believe I had been there until I showed my online booking. He flat out refused to give me a refund unless I stayed to get the nails removed. Obviously I didn't trust this place to touch my nails again so I had to leave without a refund OR even an apology. €55 to have my natural nails destroyed and be laughed out of the salon? Ridiculous. read more

I had very hard calluses, and they took care of it very well and my feet are now smooth again. This was done with the Essential Pedi and a callus treatment add on. The entire procedure was for €35, which I think is fair. The girl that did it was Anna from Brazil, she was very friendly and good. And one of the best work I've ever had in a long time. Anyhow, after waiting for 40 mins for my nails to dry, as soon as I left the shop, my nail polish scraped right off. Which pissed me off, they really need nail dryers and nail sprays that help with drying and hardening the shell. However, the manager messaged me and called me twice, two days in a row to invite me back in to re-polish my nails with nail polish that dries quicker. A company that cares for their customers is always a plus! read more

Worst manicure ever! Didn't clean under my nails! The roughest it hurt. She used the file on the skin around my nails. I had had a manicure two weeks before so they were not in bad shape. I asked for alight filing with same shape and she filed way too much nail length off! I tried to stop her but once 2 were done it was moot point. She was rough buffing my nails and did stay to the nails, just went a cross roughing the skin all around my nails. It actually hurt. They are red all round ny nails. She pulled really hard on the cuticles. No one has ever done that before and never told me to wash my hands, just put a bit of lotion on my hands not arms and rubbed the grit in. She pulled hard when cutting the cuticles. the rough cuticle cutting hurt as well. Not sure if her cuticle scissors were not sharp or what. I don't like that nails weren't cleaned. It was obvious that she wasn't going to do anything different. Maybe she didn't like tourists. I just wanted out. Good luck read more

Always very happy about the nails, but.... a bit disappointed with what happened with my eyebrows Will continue to come for manucure but never again for the brows read more

Great value nail service which great express options available, all very reasonably priced and given location, yes there is a bargain to get your nails done. It's a very business nail bar so suggestion appointments where possible however it also has so many stations that walk-ins are catered for very well here. The end result is always fantastic, my only negative here is that you know you ass is in the chair for only set period of time, this place must survive on turning the chair around quickly. The staff don't often engage in any banter or small talk (great if you like that) which I don't mind but I was here with a friend one day, we were both sitting beside each other bantering away, laughing and it felt like they were afraid to break a smile or join in... Shame cause it doesn't make you feel a tad uncomfortable as a client. They offer a creat check in offer, 15% off morning treatments so if you are free and easy in the AM, drop by and get a cheap manicure even cheaper! read more

This is quite a recent salon at the end of Clarendon street and is always quite full, so I decided to try it out. They have a really convenient online booking system, and there's a lot of nail technicians here so it's fairly easy to get an appointment. I got mine by walk-in a few times (on weekdays btw). The staff are really friendly and professional, offered that I pay beforehand and were very helpful. They have a huge selection of colours, and gelish, shellac and acrylics (I find some salons tend to do only gelish or only shellac etc. I got a full mani a few times which was always done to perfection! The only thing I don't like is the cuticle cutting since I prefer them pushed back.They also have a a few pedicure baths which look good and something I must try next time! The prices are very reasonable compared to most salons, the music they play is catchy and the salon is clean and hygienic. read more

Nails - Shellac!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Dublin, D

I want to preface this review by stating that this review is not a necessarily a bad review, but some constructive criticism. Ultimately, Nails Inc. are a busy outfit, with a small premises on Wicklow Street. There is little room for staff and even less room for clients. There is a discernible air of a need to conduct manicures and other ancillary treatments as quickly and efficiently as possible. I had originally had a gel nail application in Jervis Street from Nails Inc. and was very happy with it. I returned to Nails Inc. as I was advised a nail technician would need to "soak off" the gel nails to ensure they were removed correctly and to prevent damage to the nail. Regrettably, although a soak off would indicate a relatively long period of letting the nails steep in acetone (acetone is required to soak off the gel polish), my nails were only wrapped and soaked for - what I would estimate - less than 5 minutes. This left a considerable amount of polish adhering to the nail, and as it was not wiping away, the rest was scraped away with a metal implement, used to push back the cuticle. This left certain nails with scrape marks, particularly my left thumb nail. A regular polish was then applied. Overall, I wouldn't get a soak off done in Nails Inc. again. The time constraints placed on nail technicians is unfair and results in a poor service for the client. On a separate note, the nail technician was excellent and was very kind. All the ladies who work in there are absolutely fabulous, but they deserve a bigger and better premises. read more

Staff is friendly! Really good place and price! I feel like its a strong 3! I would come back and i would recommend this place to others. My manicure are always good- last about 1 week and pedicure about 1 day because i always wear runners :/ not their fault. Next time i will get slippers! I always have a difficulty to choose colour, i think they should check all colours to make sure they are all fresh- a tip! Book online - amazing, so easy and fast! I have also got their card, you can get some presents, haven't got anything yet! read more

I live in the US and desperately needed a Mani/Pedi before meeting the boyfriends parents for the first time on Christmas. The girl that did my nails was nice enough, but after over an hour of getting a full mani and express pedi, I waited an additional 45 minutes to make sure my nails were completely dry before leaving, but they were still soft and I ended up messing up 3 nails within a couple hours, and one of my toes smudged immediately. Not only that, but after only 4 days my entire manicure is already chipped on most of my nails and I am going to have to go spend another $60 to get them re-done before New Years. Typically, I am used to seeing dryers in a salon, and my nails will last almost 2 weeks before they start to chip. Tip to the salon- invest in some nail dryers to get a nice hard finish before we leave. Really disappointing! read more

I went to Nails for a Manicure (20 euros) and asked the beautician for oval shaped nails. She did square rounded nails and I had to ask her to do it again. The nail polish she applied didn't even last the day and started to chip off in the evening. Really disappointing service. read more

Nails - 2 hours after my appointment, nail polish starts already to chip away. - Nail Salons Near Me - Dublin, D

Based on my last (updated) review, the business owner got in touch and offered to get my manicure re-done. Everyone deserves a second chance so I went back last Friday. My technician Leah was an absolute sweetheart. She did an amazing job on my cuticles and applied the polish perfectly. Seems like an obvious thing but trust me, it isn't. I had my fair share of bad polish jobs. Leah gave me lots of tips on how to exfoliate correctly and how to make the polish last much longer. The overall service was very very good, very friendly staff all around so this certainly wasn't my last experience here. read more

I really like this nail bar! I tried it 2 weeks ago with a friend of mine. The staff are really friendly, and they were able to accommodate my friend and I, though she made her appointment way later than me, and they sat us together for the mani and the pedi. Their prices are very reasonable. I had a full shellac manicure, and a full pedicure with shellac and it was only 70 euros. The same treatment is around 100 euros at the nail bar a few shops away from them. I really loved the colors and how my nails looked. I take away one star because the shellac they use is not the CND brand, but another one. Normally I don't care which brand is used, but it turns out the one they use takes a really long time to be removed. It took a lot of soaking in acetone and removing for it to get off, something that never happens with CND polish, so I might avoid doing shellac there. Otherwise, no complaints at all! read more

The best ombré I've ever had done !!! Customer service is amazing, the girls are so friendly and accommodating and not to mention perfectionists. I couldn't recommend them enough I will definitely be back! Thanks again guys read more

I did shellac in gel, on Arnotts branch, But it didn't last. I wasn't doing anything extreme! But one of them just came off so I had to go and do it again in a week exactly, then gradually all of my nails just in less than 10 days I lost all of them :( . I didn't pay this amount of money to have it for only a week or so. That's why I took out two stars. Other than that I've been doing my nails with them for the past year, whether it's only colour or shellac on gel. But that's the first time that my nails didn't last at all! The service is good. read more

Recently visited Nails on Wicklow St as a birthday treat for myself and a friend, the shop was clean and comfortable, the range of colours available was fantastic and the staff were so helpful and friendly. I had never got a manicure before and as I work in a chemistry lab with some harsh solvents my nails were not great but Henry was fantastic and managed to make my nails so beautiful, I opted for gelish so that my nails might stay looking all pretty for a few weeks and 2 weeks later I am very impressed with them, not a chip to be seen (even with the accidental acetone spill in the lab! I'm delighted with them. My friend got a mani/pedi with Fildah and we all just had the best time, our appointments were first thing in the morning so it was quite quiet, we were offered tea/coffee straight away and were treated fantastically. I can't praise them any higher and will definitely be returning in the future! Thanks guys! read more

Nice result but the experience was lacking. I stopped in for a gel manicure and there was no massage or nail cleaning. Just shaping, cuticle work, and polish. Small location and mid range selection of gel polish colors. Rather expensive for the service. read more

This salon is nice and clean and as soon as you walk in someone helps you and offer to take your coat. I was 30 mins early and they took me right away to get my pedicure done. The lady was really and took her time as she gave me my pedicure, she also offered coffe, tea or juice. While my feet soaked the water did get cold and I'sm also used to the massaging foot baths but for the most part I was satisfied and it was a much needed pedicure. read more

Best salon I've ever been to! The girls are all super nice and very talented! My nails always look great afterwards. It's a fun, relaxing environment and a really great deal! Usually manicures chip within a day for me but here my nails are good to go for at least a week. Wouldn't go anywhere else in Dublin. read more

They do a variety of mani's and pedis here so lots of different price ranges to suit all budgets. Very friendly staff with lots of offers of tea and coffee and even though it was busy and full when I was there I didn't feel rushed. Got the full pedicure with nail art for €32 and a week later it still looks great! Not 100% sure but think my nail technicians name was Dashka? She was excellent anyway! read more

I not rating this salon as my experience there has been so horrible that even a single star would not do them justice. I started going to nails about 8 months ago and have been going regularly every 3 weeks or so. My first two visits were not impressive as the first and second therapists I had did not do a good job with cleaning my cuticles and trimming them properly. I had a word with reception and they recommended another therapist who was particularly good with cuticles and I was quite happy with her work in subsequent visits. I probably had 4 - 5 appointments with Amy but unfortunately she decided to leave a couple of months ago. I have since had 2 appointments since Amy left and was due to have my third today but unfortunately at my appointment on 22 July I was treated quite badly and rudely by a customer while the receptionist watched and did not intervene and allowed it to happen and I had to at that time respond in an equal manner to defend myself which was quite upsetting ahead of my appointment and went ahead with the appointment that day and was there again this afternoon for an appointment where I was treated in the most rude manner by the receptionist and one of the technicians which was rather defamatory and embarrassing to me in front of other customers and other technicians working there and was made to feel like I was the problem and was accused of it in terms of both the incident today as well as the incident on 22 July which I found to be quite shocking and upsetting when the problem lied entirely with them and I was actually on the receiving end of their rudeness and unprofessional and abrupt manner and when I confronted them about that in response to it i was told I was not welcome and to leave and that they would not be looking after me today. I asked to speak to the owner Collette who I was told was not available to start with and then was told that the regional manager Keira would be down to speak to me. When the regional manager did arrive I still was being accused of being rude and denied any wrong doing on their part and there was no apology or any effort on their part to resolve the matter or acknowledge any wrong doing on their part or try to offer any resolution or accept my side of the story which can be very clearly seen on the footage they have from their security cameras as I was not the instigator in both incidents and was actually the victim and had only responded to any rudeness or wrongdoing towards me. She then concluded that she had spoken to the owner who had basically said that since they are not happy with me and I am not happy with them then I should find another nails salon to go to! I clearly then told the manager that I do not accept that as a resolution and will not accept being defamed and made to appear to be the problem in this situation among their customers who were present and their technicians and that the only acceptable resolution to me is an apology from their receptionist and technician who had been rude to me in front of everyone and had asked me to leave and told me I wasn't welcome in front of everyone when I hadnt done anything to be treated that way what so ever and to be able to attend the salon and have my appointments without any further drama or rudeness or defamation and expecting to be treated with utmost respect just like any other customer. Her response was that I actually need to apologise to her receptionist and technician which I refused as I don't see the sense in having to apologise to someone who had started this entire incident and escalated it and was rude and disrespectful in the most horrible way to a CUSTOMER! I advised the manager at that stage that if they were not going to arrange for an apology and my appointment which is the only acceptable resolution to me that I would be going down the legal route for defamation and she advised to write to her and the owner at a very generic and general email address which I do not trust would reach them and they would take it from there. And so I am posting this review and other reviews and writing to them at that generic email address and will give them to close of business today, Thursday 15 Sept 2016 to respond back to me to arrange an apology in front of all the technicians and customers who were present today and an appointment to sort out my nails with a technician that I am comfortable working with otherwise if I do not hear back from them I will be taking legal action for defamation. I am not looking for freebies, I am looking for respect as a customer and to be treated as a customer and hence an apology and arrangement to provide the service that I had booked an appointment for and which I will be paying for. Unfortunately, the receptionist in this place Sophie and the technician whom she refused to give me her name were so out of line with me and so rude that I think they have forgotten or perhaps had never grasped the concept of that I am the CUSTOMER! read more

I took time out of my travels to Dublin to get a pedicure before I returned home to the States because I had an event to attend upon my return and my schedule was tight. Opted for the full pedicure which was not worth the price-not even close. After choosing my color while soaking, when she asked for my choice, she came back with 3 bottles of polish because they didn't have the color I wanted. The color I was forced to choose was terrible. It will most likely clash with my dress and I'll probably have to get a color change when I return home. Do NOT opt for the full pedi as the advertised extras are not anything like a standard US pedi. The exfoliation took 30 seconds per foot- massage was about 30 seconds per foot as well. No hot towels and no dryers at all. I'm still sitting here waiting for air drying- ridiculous. Just think that all this cost just 34 EUROS which is close to $40. I was not offered even a sip of water or a kind word. The only positive thing was my technician who at least made some conversation. She was sweet, although obviously inexperienced or totally burned out. I do not recommend this salon. read more

I entered the salon without having an appointment, but I only had to wait 10 minutes before a technician could take care of me! Perfect manicure, lovely and prepared staff, warm environment, absolutely reasonable prices. I will definitely go there again! read more

My mini manicure took almost an hour and lasted two days. The salon is very lovely, but the service I received was not. The nail tech had trouble shaping my nails. They were quite uneven. She then cut me while roughly cutting my cuticles. Finally, the polishing was very sloppy. She gave it two tries before the manager came over and offered the help of another tech. The new tech did a decent job, but by that point I had so much nail polish in and on my cuticles and underneath my nail that it just didn't look great. I was even more disappointed when two days later it started chipping. I took it off after three days. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Great little nail salon right off Grafton street. Make an appointment at weekends it gets very busy

I never usually write reviews but I think it is necessary after my experience here. I just thought it was way over priced. I came in expecting to pay 65 for my nails, as a student I would consider this as a treat for myself as usually i would only get shellac but this time opted for nail extentions. When I asked for ambre colour she said I can only do that colour when doing acrylic (10 euro extra as gel is 65). I agreed to pay the 10 euro extra to get the ambre so that brought it up to 75 euro. When I got to the till when my nails were finished, she charged me 85. She charged for the ''ambre colour'' that was an extra 10 euro. At not one point did any of them say it was an extra 10 for that ambre finish. So in the end I spent 20 euro extra then I expected to. Back home in Cork (Georgias nails and beauty), which I highly recommend by the way, dont charge any extras for ambree or gel art or anything! I was really disappointed coming out paying 85euro as I just think thats too much to be paying for your nails especially when your not even told by them as they do it that its extra. I hope this is helpful to someone that will be getting their nails done here and fair to say I will not be returning here again. read more

I went here to get a set of acrylic nails done, I paid €60 for the full set with white tips. I am trained in nails so I know what im doing. It was for a wedding and decided to try this new nail salon. I have to say I was horrified I was charged €60 and they didnt even use acrylic for the white tip they used shellac she even told me it took to long to use acrylic tips !! I thought i was paying you for the time ! Lazy and unprofessional and a rip off !! Not even 7 days later and the white tips are chipped . I will never return and wouldnt recommend them. I choose acrylic so they would last, and only got half of what i paid for. read more
