Nam is fantastic. Very skilled and personable. He is booked weeks in advance but worth getting in his rotation.

Mom and I have been coming to nails since we moved to Huntersville. The staff is always accommodating and have a variety of packages to pamper yourself or someone else. The service is definitely good with complimentary beverages: wine, soda or water. The vibe in the establishment is relaxing read more

The service is ok. I got ombrè nails and that was a miss! They did the top colour with a brush and it looked bad before 2 weeks were up! The regular acrylic nails with gel are better as they tend to last 3 to 4 weeks. I'm concerned though as they use the same drill, file and brush on everyone without sanitising between customers! read more

I took my girls here to treat them for daddy daughter dance. My 8 year old wants to leave a review: I think it's really good because they give you a drink and a massage and made no mistakes read more

Clean and I was able to walk in without much of a wait . My only complaint is I asked about having a few rough spots on my feet to have smooth and was told that I need to buy a deluxe service. This is my only issues with some of these salons. What ever happened to just getting complete service for what you pay for . I shouldn't have to pay more for basic services that should be included in the service. It's tacky and desperate , but at least the manicure was worth the charge . read more

Came here for a fill, and got one of the best sets I've ever had. Big thanks to Hudson- the one who did my nails. read more

Nails Up - Acrylic Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

I moved to this area 2 years ago and went to many other places to look for someone that could give a good Dip manicure that wouldn't ruin my nails. I have been coming to Nails Up for over a year now and every dip has been great - even with different people. I think their prices are reasonable (cash only). I've had good pedicures too. I had trouble matching Dip manicure colors with gel pedicure colors and someone there recommended I get 2 Dip base coats with no color then gel on top for the color matching. Great idea that has worked well for me. I have recommended this place to others too. read more

the absolute worst service ever. my fingers are cut to pieces after telling them multiple times it hurt. do NOT waste your money

I just moved to the area and decided to stop by for a quick gel mani. The owner or manager of the salon was incredibly rude and failed to inform me as new customer that you can only pay in cash. She proceeded to say they have an ATM in the store for me to withdraw cash but I said no ma'am since there was an almost $5 convenience fee. So we resulted with me Venmoing her instead. I went ahead and sent her $35 for the service and then was sending a separate Venmo for Tammy (the young lady who did my nails) a tip. As I was walking out the door she yelled at me saying she hasn't received the tip yet and I mentioned to her that it's loading on my end and she yelled again until she realized that she received it separately. Yep definitely am not going back. read more

Nails Up - Blue chrome SNS nails, pink SNS nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

I've been coming to nails up for about two years now and I always enjoy my experience. Nam is an amazing nail tech that can always do exactly what I want and envision for a fraction of the cost compared to other local nail locations. I have also had plenty of nice pedicures here as well. The only downside is that you have to pay in cash for the services. read more

So it's Christmas Time again and Nam amazed me again! I love this place and the people who work there are awesome! I've been going there for about 6 years and I've never had a bad experience. If you like nail art, see Nam because he's a true artist with polish. read more

My nails are uneven and the acrylic is too thick. They had a nerve to have an ATM and don't take cards. They should have it on the door that they don't take cards. Trust and believe, I will not recommend going to the business. read more

The most painful manicure and pedicure I have ever had. Not relaxing at all and they made me bleed. The technician somehow skipped one of my nails the first time around and never gave it a second coat. However, there was no wait and the actual polish looks fine and not streaky. UPDATE: The quality is outstanding. It's been 10 days and no sign of peeling or chipping. read more

My nails were recently done at Bella nails and they did a HORRIBLE job. This place did a great job on my fill in and fixing the uneven and crooked nails. Did 3 coats of polish to ensure it wasn't streaky and paid close attention to detail when shaping them. Only complaint is when he used the electric tool it was way too fast and burned my nail bed which was super painful. Other than that gel Update: I now go to Hen and she is amazing! She does great everytime never a flaw. She's the reason I leave 5 stars now. Some of the other people are hit or miss. read more

First time here. THE WORST SALON EVER. Ive tried many nail salon and I also worked at one before. I just never seen a salon so bad. I had to wait 20 mins but based on how busy they are and all the technicians are occupied, its understandable. I had regular gel on all my nails except my ring finger that had liquid gel which its harder and stronger gel. I just want to take them off; a lady came over, used an electric drill on all of my nails, drilled on my cuticles, didn't bleed so whatever, but for my ring finger nails, she just hand peeled the hard gel off which felt like my real nails were about to peel off with it, and its also super bad for the nails. My two thumb nails are chipped, she was just gonna leave it how it was no cut no file if i didn't told her to do so, at the same time she kept telling me that my nails are weak; pushing me to get SnS or put more gel on, after i clearly stated i just want the gel taken off today multiple times. DIDN'T ask if i want to cut or trim or just file or what shape if i didn't her. I also asked her if she could put some strengthener on my nails, she didn't understand me, so she asked for better english speaker for help, and still doesn't know what I'm talking about, so i just gave up on telling. I mean, for a nail technician, don't know what strengtheners are???? ‍‍ AND last but not least, after she trim and file and cut my dry cuticles, before she asked to go wash my hands, she put lotion on me and started massaging my hands and arms. WTF???? with all the nail ashes from filing and the cuticle softener still on my hands and arms???? omg i had to leave that place right away, write this review in the car, and never coming back. read more

Nails Up - Nail Salons Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

Update.. yes everyone is saying Nam is the go to guy.. but If you aren't getting acrylic he doesn't want to deal with you. He only wants the high paying customers.. plus even if you have an appointment he will take someone else if they walk in and you will have to wait an extra hour or however long. It's just not worth it even if they are good. Also, cash only. read more

It's been a week ! 3 nails have just fell off, I didn't even notice they came off and my "gel" toe nail polish is cracked! Not sure if the products they use are old but it sure do feels like it. I paid 110 and they only take cash so I have to pay a fee to use the ATM inside the salon. Tired of nail salons not giving quality work and them denying to fix the problem so for now on I'll just be giving reviews as they should be. read more

Initially this placed was convenient as I lived nearby. As time has passed the service has gotten considerably terrible. You will not be greeted upon arrival, quality of service is terrible. Gel polish peeled a day or two after getting them done. I'm not even sure everyone who works there is a qualified technician just based on the work they provide. Lesson learned I guess convenience isn't always the best. I would not recommend you waste your time on such terrible service. read more

Staff is super friendly, very clean place. Nam is my nail guy and he is amazing!! He also provides hands down the best pedicure I've ever had. read more

I cannot express how much I hate this nail salon. I usually come in for a regular fill in and my experience is fine. However I always find myself coming in the next week because of how bad they glue on the nails. The last time I went in to get one nail fixed and I ended up waiting an hour and a half. I asked how long it would be and the guy just told me to sit down. They ended up attending to other people who came in after me and completely ignored me. Keep in mind this is a five minute job I needed done. Not to mention the "cash only" bs. Please save yourself the trouble and try anywhere else. read more

Service was great, they sat us right away. They even serve complimentary drinks. Prices are reasonable and the work is great. Definitely will come back again. read more

Believe the reviews. DO NOT GO HERE !!! They did a horrible job . Paid $30 for a pedicure and 10 min later it was done. Paint was super clumpy, no real effort into the details. Like foot scrub or the cuticles . I'm 100% the girl who gave me a pedicure and is not licensed she had no idea what she was doing . They also only take cash or Venmo which seems a bit under the radar just really disappointed . read more

I'm only giving two stars cause my tech was nice but just try to find another salon. I've been here on multiple occasions cause my regular girl was booked and Every time I went here I got cut, knicked, or they were rushing. I wear acrylics and they do take longer and sometimes come off but I have NEVER had NAILS pop off, peel, and have the white of a French tip turn yellow within less than a week. It's honestly ridiculous. And the fact that I would still have to pay like 20-30 bucks to fix my nails is also kinda ridiculous. I also work at a computer job too so it's not like I'm doing hands on manual labor read more

Great experience! After searching for a new place since we relocated to the area..this was my far the best! Will definitely be returning! read more

Nam is fabulous he is truly a artist. He goes above and beyond for his clients.Go see him you will not be disappointed

Happy with the selection and environment but my nails were done horribly and came off in about 1.5 weeks. I had sns done and the woman helping me could not understand anything I asked for. Ended up with chunky nails with bad adhesion. Won't be back. read more

So perhaps they have remodeled- they have an outstanding polish selection. And place is really clean. They even have cute kids sized pedi chairs. The standard pedi was $25, and my technician did a nice job. While sitting at the drying station, i noticed a menu - and saw that drinks were included with service- I wasn't even offered water- hence the 4 stars. read more

Nails Up - She ripped skin off while waxing my eyebrows - Nail Salons Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

This place has the ambiance thing DOWN. It's bright and open, with tons of nail polish options and plenty of massage chairs to go around. They have a nail bar in the middle of the salon with barstools where you can get your manicure. And they have wine and other drinks for people getting their nails done, which is a nice touch. But it falls short of a 5 star review for me because ambiance isn't everything. First, in two trips here I haven't been offered anything to drink. Sure, I'm 9 months pregnant, so wine might not make sense, but how about a glass of water for the exhausted pregnant woman on the hot summer day? Second, and more importantly, the pedicures haven't been the best. On my last trip, my nail technician cut my cuticles FOUR separate times -- get the hint, lady, and stop attacking my cuticles with such vigor! That being said, I think this is one of the better nail salons I've been to in Huntersville, and it would be great for a large party if you want a girls' afternoon. read more

1st review - Let me start with that I am super fussy when it comes to my Mani's and pedi's. It is not a regular occurrence but more of an occasional luxury so I want them great when I make the splurge. I surprised myself by even coming here based on the yelp reviews. I'm glad I did! I asked for a basic pedicure and I was taken in promptly (arrived at 950am). I was given a very thorough pedicure with an AWSOME leg massage with hot stones. I am very pleased with my experience and will set be back! I had tommy (although we weren't able to directly communicate everything was successfully translated by the neighboring nail tech). I will for sure be back and ask for Tommy again! Give him a try!!! Update 5 days later - glittery polish has begun to chip. Went in for a repolish and Nam was accommodating and polite about it and did an excellent job! To be fair I've never chosen glittery polish before and I think that was the issue. I've never had to have a repolish before so fingers crossed it's just the glitter polish. 2nd review. - total disappointment. It's not the glitter polish. Had another pedicure with regular polish. Chipped 3 days in. Maybe using a cheap top coat? I don't know but typically my toe polish lasts 3 weeks. Only if I stub my toe has it really ever chipped before the 3 week mark. read more

LGBTQ+ my people we have many options and this is not the one. The only reason I'm not giving one star is because the nail tech did a decent job on my nails. BUT there were 3 nail techs practicing on each other while I was getting my nails done, two girls doing rainbow nails on a male. Making very inappropriate "jokes" about how people chose to identify... at first I thought they are just having fun and then one of the girls said now you are a shem*le with these nails. I'm a transwoman and this was extremely inappropriate and offensive. I told them so and didn't receive an apology from them or the manager. I won't be going back, which is sad. I liked my nail tech but I refuse to support a business that doesn't care about ALL of its customers. You should be careful what you say because you NEVER know who is listening. read more

Update: nails were lifting at cuticle 3 days after and looked awful for my winter gala. Because of this I will not return. Will definitely be back! Wonderful job on pink and white nails. Got a little busy with walk-ins and a little chaotic but was understandable as it's one of the only nail salons open on Sunday. read more

Dont come here !! after being at the nail salon for over three hours I still wasn't satisfied. they weren't able to do a simple design i tried trusting the process and everything ended up doing a acrylic full set simple color my nails have not stop hurting felt hot at first and now feels like a strong pressure no apex just horrible! read more

Nails Up is awesome! I went a few days before Christmas. Though I waited for about 45 min-1 hour (they were slammed), they got me in and I was out the door in a good amount of time. Weren't pushy with other services. Stellar job for a good price ($30 for full set acrylic nails) and they lasted for 4 weeks. read more

My family and I use to go here back in the day when it was smaller but great service. Now they've expanded which is great the place is great. The service is subpar . at least on Sundays it is. They don't offer you drinks or anything? Kinda boring vibe. Idk they put cold towels on us. They seemed like they didn't know what they were doing and my guy barely even touched my feet and we paid for DELUX ? I mean he barely rubbed in the lotion lol read more

Where should I start? Customer Service is HORRIFIC! There's a huge racial divide as it pertains to the level of service provided. If you're BLACK you may or may not be offered a beverage or even addressed besides being asked..."pick out your color, or pedicure/nails". There may be little to no conversation during your service either and if you complain about your service their entire disposition changes and the service decreases even lower. Yes... it can get worst! This morning I made an appointment for 3, it's 4:21 and I'm still waiting to get my nails done. I arrived at 2:15 and decided to get a pedicure, advised the tech for my nails I was here. Upon completion of my poorly executed pedicure I was advised it would be another 45min wait before my nails would be done. If it weren't Sunday and my nails weren't white and soon to be taupe, I would walk out! Lol....But I need this done today! When I spend money in an establishment, I expect a certain level of customer service, could care less about a beverage but I want my nails and toes on point. And that means cut the cuticle properly so I don't look like I'm still in need of a pedicure walking out the door. SHEEEESSHHHH....Today was a reminder of why I stopped coming to this nail salon that's literally down the street from my office. This place is is TERRIBLE to say the least. The only person with any sense of customer service is Hihn (manager), because the owner herself hasn't grasped the concept which might explain why she had to close the other locationRUNNNNNN... Try BALLY'S down the street! Ask for Yen read more

I got a gift card to here for my birthday and decided to go today. When I walked in I looked around for prices. I didn't see anything had to ask. Found a color for my pedicure. Was told to sit in a dirty seat. Finally got to a clean seat and waited. They then put cold water in. When I said it was cold he said you want hot? Of course we want hot water. Never once showed me the pedicures to pick from. Never once asks if I want a drink. I had water in the tub less than 5 minutes. At the rate he was going I would have been some work everything in 15 minutes. I said I have an ingrown he said you didn't tell me so I didn't do. Went straight to stone no scrub. At this point I was now just not happy. When I asked him about the scrub he said that's not in the basic.... um I never picked so.... I left..... read more
