Nails Only Cape Henry - Nail Salons Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I want to love this place because it's so convenient. In the winter they're ok but they don't do a good job when they're busy in the summer. I got a mani-pedi yesterday and the polish didn't last, not even 24 hours later. Their prices are high enough that it's worth going somewhere else in the summer. I'm bummed. read more

I came here today two weeks prior to my college graduation. I asked for the nails listed in the first photo and the second photo is what I got. The owner and his wife were nasty to me when I came back in and wanted to give me $30 back from a $111 service. The wife came to me with clippers and yanked my hand and started clipping my nails off. All happening while I'm standing up and shaking because I have anxiety. And he was telling me how he got a haircut two weeks ago, and he didn't like it, and had to wear a hat. What kind of analogy is that? so you want me to wear gloves for my grad photos? He ended up giving me what I paid for the nails plus my tip back. Regardless, he handled the situation awfully and told me not to write a review. Don't go here. Oh I almost forgot, when I was getting a pedicure, the water overflowed and got my Birkenstocks soaked. I'll add a pic of that as well. read more

Where do I start? I guess the phrase "you get what you pay for" holds true here, but even with that they are still overcharging because the service provided here should be free. So as with most shops similar to this, the first thing they have you do is pick your color. Let me just say, most of their colors on the shelf looked old and rundown, and there was a clear lack of organization. With that said, even though I hadn't chosen a color and there was no one in the shop when I walked in, they ushered me to the pedicure chair and it was at that point they gave me a nail palette. Why they didn't just give me that in the first place, I don't know, but I digress. The lady doing my pedicure was nice even though there was a clear language barrier. Sorry, but if I am getting a pedicure and supposedly relaxing, I don't feel I have to struggle for a specialist to understand what I am saying. Anyway, despite this, she did try her best and my feet ended up decent looking. Here is when things went left (or even more left), the lady doing my pedicure did not continue to do my nails. I guess another person came in? and she didn't continue. Whatever the reason, I didn't appreciate it. If you have a client that has an appointment and you need to attend to it, let me know or simply get the same person who started you to finish. COMMUNICATE! So they put me with this male technician...who could barely speak any English. This would not have normally been too much of a problem, but this guy did a crappy job on my nails. I kid you not, a five year old looked like they did it. It was also very rushed. He barely spent anytime with my hands. Every step of the way, I was telling him something wasn't right but because he couldn't understand or didn't want to understand what to do. Once my nails were "completed" again, I let him know my dissatisfaction but it seemed he couldn't care less. So, imagine his shock when it was time to pay, I didn't tip. Guess he understands money. Anyway, I am not one to just complain on yelp without speaking directly to someone. I wanted to talk to someone else to complain, but it seemed at this point there was no manager available. So, I called, and let them know and I came back. The lady who originally did my nails did them again, which was decent (and she was nice) and honestly the reason this review isn't 0. I would really avoid this place. A sign of a good place is the number of repeat customers. I noticed most of the folks coming here were first time customers. It is so unfortunate because this place is so convenient to my place, but as I stated in the beginning "you get what you pay for". read more

If I could give more stars I would this place is amazing and the owner cares about her customers . I was really nervous getting this done but I don't regret it . She does phenomenal job . She know what she's doing for sure . She was very patient and was very precise on what she was doing . I recommend you come to this place . My brows look so natural and just the way I wanted them . I couldn't have imagined they would look this perfect . I was so shocked at the results . Thank you so much read more

The mani/pedi not only looked great but the ambience was terrific! I'll definitely be back.

i'm not one for leaving reviews, i honestly had to make a yelp account just to leave this but these were genuinely the worst nails ever!! don't get me wrong very nice people- just not people who should be in the nail salon business. I got acrylics with french tips and the acrylic was chunky and filled wonky, the french tip lines visibly not straight or clean lines, as well as a ridiculously thick french (it took up 1/3 of the nail). The nails are also different sizes, one thumb is significantly bigger than the other. Pictures attached I also got a pedicure which if you could believe it was worse. The nail polish was spilling over my cuticle and there was not a single toe with evenly applied nail polish (each toe has spots with no color). I also didn't want this color to begin with, however when requesting white all they had was a clear color?! what nail salon doesn't have white!! The older gentleman doing my nails was rushed the entire time, however the women next to me (whose nails were done by the teenage receptionist who was working because they were short staffed) looked amazing. read more

DO NOT GO. For your own safety do not go here. The board standard for health and safety is completely disregarded at this business. As a board certified nail tech I was horrified when I walked in with one of my girlfriends. She wanted to treat me to a manicure for my birthday which I don't like going to places for due to most of these nail salons practice no board health rules or standards and charge a ton of money for crap work. She assured me she heard ok things and we should check it out. I'll keep this short. I asked for a dip, it's basically acrylic just done in a different way with no tip in my case. The gentleman doing my nails greeted me without washing his hands. I saw him come from a pedicure chair he was lounging in and just plop down shake my hand and get started. He did not prep my nail except for a light file over the tops real quick. This is incorrect. Cuticle should be pushed back. Hands washed. Nails shaped. None of this happened. He began dipping my nails. Over and over he tipped. They got thicker and heavier. Which should not be happening. He then filed them down some. Hitting my cuticle and making them all cut up and bloody. My nails were so dried out and beat up at this point. I wanted to cry. That's over and we go to pay. This is what set me over and made me write this review because honestly we know these salons are horrific we just keep going because it's all there is and most don't want to do their own nails. These thieves charged my friend $55 for a dip set no tip!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! That's a full acrylic set at a NICE salon. My nails started lifting in a matter of days , as I knew they would due to zero nail prep and a heavy thick coat. Please beware of this business. I'm surprised they haven't been sued for severely causing harm to someone. Ladies do the research. Go to a board certified salon! read more

Finding Oanh to do my microblading before the holidays was such a blessing! I moved to the Virginia Beach area this summer and have been on the search for a technician I can trust. Finally, found Oanh through Google. She was very attentive to any sensitivities or pain I may have (none at all) and she did a great job on my brows! I can't stop staring in the mirror. Thank you Oanh! I will be back for more services read more

I went to this salon yesterday for the second time. I will absolutely return after 2 very pleasant experiences. Do yourself a favor and get the deluxe pedi with paraffin wax- you won't regret it. The first time I had a wonderful gel manicure, but this time I wanted my nails longer. I don't like acrylic- it makes my skin itch and it's pretty bad for your natural nail. We decided to do extensions with dip powder. I told him I want them to look delicate and natural. They are perf!!! I can't wait to go back in a few weeks! Very very hardworking and friendly employees. Very clean. LOTS of available services. 10/10 would recommend read more

The only nail salon that offered walk-in on a Saturday around 6pm in the area. Friendly staff and my pedicure was amazing.

Very clean and always accommodating. Very skilled and offer many different services. Been coming for over 15 years!

Nails Only (on Shore Drive near Hot Tuna) does great manicures and pedicures, but now they also do eyebrow microblading as well as eyeliner and lip tattooing. Oanh (pronounced "ahn") Khau is certified and has state licensure for cosmetic tattooing, sometimes called derma-artistry. The phone number of their shop is 757-481-5600, and I highly recommend their work. read more

I'd give them ZERO!! Just don't go here. Concerned about how sanitary it is. My daughter wanted to get her nails done because she is a bridesmaid. We made it as far as the car before she broke down crying at how horrible her nails looked. NOT a good experience for her first manicure. Go somewhere else!! read more

Nina does the best job with nails. They last longer than any other place I have tried.

I don't recommend this place at all, the service was horrible and very superficial. I requested a spa pedicure and what I got was a complete fake pedicure, no cuticle removal, no calluses removal and it took only 30 minutes while the owner on manager was on the phone most of the time or walked away. This fake pedicure was $50. I believe that this so called nail salon treat tourists different than locals beca they know it is a one time visit. read more

My teenage girls and I tried this salon for the first time this evening. We couldn't have been happier with our experience in fact it's our new favorite salon. The salon was incredibly clean and bright. The employees were so kind and took such care in our manicures. Highly recommend. read more

This place is amazing! I've been getting pedicures here for a year now and Nina is the best! They take their time and don't rush through it. Great service! read more

I have been wanting to get microblading forever I met Oanh Khau at the nail salon by my house I go to. I have checked into getting this done many times all around Virginia Beach. I finally decided to get it done and she's honestly amazing my brows have never looked better!!! She took her time measured them let me check them she was very detailed and meticulous!!! I would have never thought to go to a nail salon to get this with all the stories you see but she's been to the best training and it shows!!! This is a life changer!!! I am going to save so much in buying brow pencils and save so much time everyday!!! I highly recommend her you won't be disappointed!!!! Thank you!!!!! read more

Great nail salon. We are staying at the delta hotel across the street. Called to make an appointment and they were able to accommodate our group of 5 with short notice. They were friendly and efficient. The salon was very clean. Prices were reasonable. Highly recommend. read more

I was very happy with my experience at Nails Only! The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. I got a full acrylic set for a very reasonable price that was well executed! I would definitely recommend this salon for anybody from or visiting the Virginia Beach area. read more

I have been going to Nails Only for more than 10 years. Every single time I go there it is a great experience and I leave a very happy customer. Recently, I had Oanh's service of Eyelash Curling and tint. It has been almost 3 weeks and everything Oanh said is true! They stay curled! A minor swish of mascara and I am ready for the day! Even without mascara, a bit of lip gloss and I am ready for the day! Big time saver! It is fun to wake up in the morning with "happy eyes"! read more

PerfectionI had my eye brows microbladed and she did a wonderful job. I highly recommended. Professional and wonderful experience!

I decided to go here for a gel manicure because my cousin recommended it and I wasn't happy with the last one I got at a different salon. I called about an hour before I arrived for the appointment to let them know I was coming and they were fine with that, even though they were busy. I couldn't be happier with Kim's work! She was so meticulous with the manicure, so it took a little bit longer than the place I normally go to, but she did a fantastic job and I like to get my money's worth. She was so helpful and didn't try to upsale me on designs, etc like a lot of places do, which I find annoying. It was a very calm atmosphere inside and beautifully decorated. My only complaint is the paraffin wax is not included, however they didn't charge extra to take off the old gel job which was surprising! I will definitely be back for a manicure once this one wears, which I'm guessing won't be anytime soon. Thanks Kim!! read more

Highly recommend this salon. Reasonable prices. Very clean and efficient. Friendly staff. Ask for Bella if you want a great pedi (and mani) - she gave the best leg and foot massage ever. read more

Everyone one here is so friendly. Price is a little steep but TOTALLY worth it. My gel nails lasted over a month! They grew out before chipping. Jenny did my nails, she listened to what I wanted and was very kind. I highly recommend going here. read more

I went to Oahn last summer for eyebrow, lip, & eyeliner tattoo. She was not professional and after spending over $1000 for a botched & unbalanced job had to return to have fixed. She allowed her 2 young children to run in and out of the small room who co tinued to distract her. This job was supposed to include a "touch up" this year and after scheduling an appt months in advance she called to confirm & then said there would be extra charges ! I had to file a complaint w/ Va. cosmetology regulatory board & BBB as she told me she had an attorney who would deal with the problem ! Beware as they do not put their policies in writing & tell you to trust them read more

I had my eyebrows microbladed for the first time 2 years ago (for those who are looking into microblading it is semi permanent) and then most recently here with Oanh. She was very professional, clean, organized and worked around my schedule for my initial appointment as well as my touch up. Let me be clear when I say *I have no eyebrow hairs*. I am 26 and I have some medical issues that have taken away my brows. Oanh gave me beautiful eyebrows! She's very detailed and she was very gentle with my sensitive skin. I will be back for touch ups and I will always recommend her to friends. read more

I had a regular pedicure and a gel manicure with Kim. The salon was clean, Kim was precise, and the price was fantastic for both services. I could not have been happier and I am on week three with my gel manicure and it still looks beautiful. Only reason I am going to remove it is because my nails have grown a lot in the past three weeks. I will definitely drive from Norfolk to go to the salon again. read more

Would absolutely not recommend this place, unless you want an express mani/pedi. First, I'm from out of town so called ahead and made an appointment. We had to wait when we got there, and then they got mad when two of our friends were a few minutes late...almost gave up their chairs. Second, it was super busy but they made it a point to go after everyones visit who walked through the door. I don't blame them for being good business people, but I do blame them for rushing through all of our mani/pedi's. I was done with both in forty minutes. Finally, I'm all about efficiency but qualitatively. My nails look horrendous. She also cut them after I asked her not to. Ok horrendous is harsh, but a few of them are incredibly sloppy. It didn't help that she was on the phone the entire time. Sucks this is the only review...I hope other people have better stuff to say and help their star store, but from my perspective I would highly suggest finding another place! read more

It took them 3 hours to do a set of nails with french tips. One was crooked, all were thick and after one week I had to get a full set again since they were not filed down enough and properly set. They all rose up in five days and when I went to another place they were shocked that this was a new set. Needless to say I had to get another whole new set. I will never go back to this place or recommend again. read more

This nail salon definitely exceeded our expectations! We made a reservation for three and when we arrived they were ready and waiting for us. Very clean place & super friendly staff. Will definitely be back! read more

Best quality! Clean and talented people! They really sincerely care about their customer satisfaction. I also highly recommend having your eyebrows done here too! read more

I love this place! Three generations of my family go here. My grandmother and I even drive out of my way from Norfolk to come here. There's only one other place I trust in vb to do my nails and they are too expensive. This place is fairly priced and they do great work! Will be coming here as long as I live in Hampton Roads. read more

My mom and I come in every couple of weeks and get mani/pedis here. We usually get a regular pedicure and gel nails, and don't ever need to correct their work or come back to have anything "fixed." The owners know us by name and ask us about plans/things about which we told them on our previous visits...so we always get a sense of "care" from them. We bring all of our friends here and are graciously thanked every time for being such a loyal customer. We will always recommend this place to anybody that asks, because we have always had nothing short of excellent service. read more

I am very particular about my nail salons and my expectations were beyond exceeded with Nails Only! I called 15 minutes before they closed asking for their hours; they told me they could still take me for a mani pedi since I was 5 mins away and insisted it was no problem. I expected to be hurried in and out but they were extremely attentive, detail oriented, and friendly. They even had one person shaping my nails during my pedi. No corners were cut! The place itself is deceptively pretty inside despite being in a strip mall and extremely clean. My nails look absolutely beautiful - this will be my only nail salon in Virginia Beach from now on! read more

I highly recommend! I Got a beautiful French mani and pedi. Jenny did a great job and was very friendly.

I have been going to this nail salon for 18+ years and would not go anywhere else. It is family owned and operated and you are given the utmost attention. There is no better place than Nails Only! read more
