My girlfriend's bachelorette party was coming up and the theme was "tequila sunrise". They nailed it! I got so many compliments and I couldn't get over how cute they looked. Thank you Emily! read more

I come out of my way to get my nails done here. They're always super friendly and give recommendations on colors based on what you tell them. Detailed, and my nails last weeks. $30 for a gel mani. Bring cash! read more

Look how beautiful my nails are! Always so pleasant to be back to get my nails done by Emily and Jessica. Everyone at the salon greets me with smiles and makes me feel right at home, and I always come out with the prettiest-looking nails. read more

I would love to review the service I had, but I can't and honestly wouldn't return. A friend and I wanted to catch up and figured we'd add a little self-care to the mix. She'd called and made an appointment (as required at this salon) for 2 for 6:30pm. We got there at 6:25pm. We were told to go wash our hands. That was the extent of the engagement we had from the 5 different staff members who were there. We picked our colors and sat in the waiting area at the front of the salon near the door. We sat as the 5 employees worked on the patrons who were there before us... a couple of manicures and 3 pedicures... for half an hour with no acknowledgment, no engagement, no "It'll be x minutes..." ... literally nothing. There were signs in various places in the salon however that noted that appointments are a must. I'm not sure why as ours very clearly wasn't kept. At about 7pm, we gave up and returned our selected polishes to their polish wall. Still, no one acknowledged us. As we were leaving, no one acknowledged us. It was the most bizarre experience I've ever had. We laughed about it over snacks afterward, but truly...the most bizarre experience. read more

I'm new to Philly and have found my favorite nail salon, just around the corner from our new place...yay! Here's why I love it: - It's easy to get an appointment and they stick to their schedule. - Staff is super friendly. - They're no nonsense - you're in and out QUICK. - Prices are reasonable. - The quality of both gel manicures and pedicures is great. And they stand behind their work - I had a powder gel manicure and a nail chipped that evening...they squeezed me in to fix it the next day at no charge. Highly recommended! read more

This place was so rude to me. My manicurist did a very rushed job. I was more happy with her skill level and hike watching and I almost pulled my hands away and left; but I figured let's give it a shot. The results were deceiving because while my manicure looked pretty decent it chipped the next day which is always a sign of the quality of service. I am certain if I went back they would not be helpful and if anything their lack of customer service and general attitude would only worsen my experience.

Everyone here is always super friendly and does a great job on my nails and toes. My husband loves going here too and the ladies make him feel right at home, and even gave him eagles green toenails one visit! The nail work is consistent and thorough, and the pedi massage chairs are relaxing. Clean place and good value for the quality of work. read more

Unfortunately my most recent experience was such a disappointment in comparison to my previous visits. I went for a manicure and left with my nails in all different shapes. Most of the nails also had paint on the skin on each tip of my finger, which just showed such a lack of care. I'm just not sure how quickly I will want to return since the service has changed so much from my prior visits. read more

This is my go-to nail salon in Philly these days, and as other have noted, the price and quality can't be beat! I've had several gel manicures here as well as a gel pedicure. The manis tend to last about 3 weeks even with HEAVY use of my hands (hand sanitizer, gardening, etc). I also like to get less traditional colors and appreciate that they have multiple options for my favorites (light blue, dark green, etc) plus the normal wide range of red/pink/nudes. Whenever I travel and get a gel manicure elsewhere, I'm disappointed because Nineteen does such a better job!! read more

I am feeling bad to write this review as I have been going there for past 2 years. This is not the first time happened but the unprofessionalism shown today was something I couldn't resist myself writing this as I am never going to this place again. So I had an appointment yesterday at 6:30pm and waiting 35mins with no communication by them saying it will take an hour. i rescheduled for next day.. taking time off from work for an hour and when I reach there .. they bluntly told to come later as they will take an hour. Someone who is a regular shouldn't be treated that way. Terrible experience and an apology with rudeness is why I giving 1 star. I think management should look on valuing customers time or remove the concept of appointment if they cant follow. read more

I always come here for my gel manicures. They do a great job and they last for a very long time. The pedicures are pretty good, but for me they just chipped pretty easily every time I got them done read more

Came here all the time (see previous review) and the prices have gotten insane for what you get. I wanted to give my nails a break from gel and polish. I had a basic pedicure with gel removal with a "magic remover" ($15 bottle on amazon) bc I didn't want a dremel to my nails and NO color, basic manicure with gel removal and NO color and it was a whopping $70 without tip. Thinking I'll be going elsewhere now :-(. On top of this during her explanation at checkout all manicures and pedicures are the same price regardless of color choice and saying "we have all these colors and you didn't pick one", sorry I care about my nail health? Doesn't the polish cost you $ and time to apply...? read more

I had an amazing experience with Nineteen Nails. It was VERY clean, all instruments were individually wrapped, they took my temperature immediately, & had lots of gel colors to chose from. They were also exceptionally nice and asked my preference on EVERYTHING. I'll certainly be making another appointment in 3 weeks. Thank you for everything! read more

Visiting from out-of-town and discovered this salon just because it was close to my Airbnb! Always a chance, but so happy I found this place. Super pleasant and efficient staff! Would recommend to anyone and will definitely visit again on my next trip to Philly! read more

They were quick and less expensive than other places in the area. Still enforcing masks and taking temps at the door.

I love this salon! All the ladies are friendly and do amazing work! It's clean, quiet, and stress-free. My sisters and I love going together to get our nails done. I usually get dip powder manicures but they have a huge range of gel polish as well. Usually Emily or Jessica happen to be my manicurist. Emily always picks the best colors for me and can handle any design inspiration I bring in and Jessica is so precise and always shapes my nails perfectly! Can't recommended this place enough! :) read more

I am an art teacher and potter so I am constantly rough on my nails. The dipping powder manicure is very resistant to someone who is regularly using tools and cleaning. I usually don't get my nails done for this reason but I will definitely be returning! It has been one month and not a single chip! read more

First time having dip powder and it's a life changer! Great job, lasts and looks natural, even with tips. Everyone was super nice. Getting lots of compliments... my new nail salon:) read more

Love this place! Fantastic manicure/pedicure and very reasonable prices. The salon is always clean and calm, and I can reliably call and get a same-day or next-day appointment. They do a great job of staying on schedule (without making you feel rushed), and are very professional and attentive to detail. I also like that they have the Essie longwear "gel couture" line, which I find holds up just about as well as gel for me without having to use the UV light. read more

Their nail services are great. Previously whenever I received a gel manicure the polish lasted over two weeks. Since Covid this is my first time getting my nails done and it was just a pedicure, but the pedicure was as good as it had been previously. They also go above and beyond with social distancing and Covid precautions-I was pleasantly surprised. Super friendly staff (as always), clean, lots of variety in polish colors. A great place to go in graduate hospital to relax and get your nails done! read more

I've only patronized this business once before. Service was pretty good a the time so I figured I would go again. I called 11am to schedule an appointment for a mani & pedi. They told me they had an opening at 2pm. When I arrived, I told them that I had an appointment for 2pm and they insisted that my appointment was for 2:30pm. I said, okay I'll wait. They then talked amongst each other again and tried to convince me me that my appointment was for 3pm not 2pm. Again, I said, "I'll wait" and proceeded to sit down. They then told me that that due to Covid-19, I couldn't wait inside. "Well, where am I supposed to go, I walked here", I told them. "I don't know, maybe you can hang around out here", she said as she pointed to the exterior front of their building. It's 80 degrees outside. I can't stand outside for darn near an hour waiting for service. Needless to say, I left and told them to cancel my appointment. You cannot over book appointments and expect people to stand outside waiting so you can adhered to Covid social distancing guidlines. Very unprofessional! read more

I really love this little nail salon. All of the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. I get dip powder and a pedicure and they do a great job. I was really impressed with all of the precautions they put in place for protection against covid-19. I felt completely safe there and appreciate how much they care for the well-being of the customers. read more

I had an amazing experience here! Jessica did my French tips with the dipping powder, and Emily (the owner) was so kind and welcoming. This little shop just reopened and they're having a sale for 20% off for the special occasion, so come while it's still going!! I'm not sure if I've ever actually posted a review on Yelp (I've posted them to OpenTable, though)... but this place was so wonderful, I had to! It's so easy to walk by and disregard small businesses, so I just wanted to post this review and help as much as I can because they definitely deserve it. So glad I live on top of this place-- usually I trek far and wide to other nail places because I am very particular with my nails. I'll definitely be coming here for all of my nail needs from now on :) read more

Excellent, quality polish every time. I have never had a manicure last as long as the ones from this salon. My last gel mani I got there lasted 4 weeks, which is unheard of! Not even a chip! My nails looked terrible because they had grown out, but the polish was still perfect. They are meticulous and really take their time. I also got sns dip there and it was great. Personally I don't always love dip because it makes your nail feel thick/fake, but they buffed it down really well. That also lasted 4 weeks. Great addition to the neighborhood! read more

I have come here since they opened shop a few years back, I have been to other salons and always come back here when those places mess up. They are so kind, super safe with covid-19 protocols and always do my nails exactly how I like them. The pedicures are amazing too. I simply won't go anywhere else now. read more

I've been to this nail salon before and my experience has always been OK however today I went in to get a soak off and a regular nail polish manicure and they did not know how to take off acrylic, now if you do not know how to do something please let your customer know because they ended up hurting me and I walked out very upset. Just to let everyone know they don't know how to take of acrylic but give great pedicures. That's why I'm giving them 3 stars . read more

I live in the neighborhood and typically frequent another local salon for my gel manicures. My usual salon is closed on Mondays so I walked into Nineteen Nail & Spa for a pedicure in the afternoon. I was helped immediately and all of the staff were friendly and professional. All of the tools used were sterilized and she even gave me the nail file to take home. She took her time and was very thoughtful with her work. I was very happy with my pedicure and I am looking forward to going back soon for a gel manicure! read more

Y'all really did a horrible job like it looks like y'all yanked off the acrylic off her nails... seriously y'all should tell your customers that y'all can't do that it's not cool. read more

Such a lovely and kind staff! Don't really feel the need to make an appointment (because yes I'm that person) and they always squeeze me in. The manager Emily is so sweet and patient. Their gel manicures are quick and professional. Definitely recommend if you need a quick changeover from a friendly face. read more

The best manicure for the best price! $25 dollars for a gel polish that last at least three weeks without chipping (and I use a lot of hand sanitizer for my job.) I have been happy with my nails every single time. I always feel like they take their time to make sure it is quality and looks nice! They prefer cash, so I would suggest bringing some if you can. read more

BEST manicure and pedicure I have ever received!! They definitely have me as a loyal customer now, even if I have to trek across the city to get there! I only hope they keep their attention to detail as they inevitably get more popular! read more

I came here based on other reviews stating that it was very clean. The tools did come out of individual wrapped packages and certificates were posted on the wall, but clippings and skin were tossed on the floor. They were closing up when I left and I didn't see anything getting cleaned or sanitized. The tech also was very rough to the point of being painful pushing back cuticles. Would definitely not return. read more

This shop is officially under new ownership, and it's glorious. The service is friendly and efficient, and Emily and Luna gave us perfect manicures. Such a great addition to the neighborhood. read more

I never, ever get my nails done but I did today because I'm getting married in 2 days! I was nervous at first, but the staff was very friendly and nice. Emily did a fantastic job on my gel manicure! It exceeded my expectations! read more

I will not go here again. I wanted my acrylics off that I had gotten done at another nail salon. Instead of simply saying they couldn't do that because they don't do any acrylic nail services, they tried. It took 3 different people, an hour and a half, and they shaved my nails down so much trying to get the acrylics off that they were starting to shave into my bare skin to the point where it hurt and I said ouch. And they up-charged me $20, when this is maximum $10 at another salon. Wish they would've just saved me the money, time and pain and told me they couldn't take the acrylics off when I walked in. read more

Excellent service. All of the nail techs were super friendly and accommodating. I went in for a full set but they don't use acrylic. Instead I got dip powder with tips which is supposed to be much healthier for your nails. The whole process was very quick, I was in and out in 40 minutes. Only complaint is that there aren't a plethora of dip powder colors, there are mostly nudes and reds which isn't a problem for me but could be for someone else. read more

The staff here are so friendly and meticulous. I refuse to go anywhere else because compared to here, it's just not worth it. Everywhere else I go in the city skimps on something, but this place has got it all. They are so careful and attentive and really take their time - every nail and cuticle is perfect when they're through. They do get a bit backed up during the week though so I usually go on Sunday afternoons when it's not as busy. Prices are reasonable as well. Gel manicure is $25 and I think the regular pedicure is $23 so very standard prices for excellent quality. read more

Lovely and accommodating staff! Beautiful mani/pedi! Loved the attention to detail and consideration for safety- liner in the pedicure bath, foot massage, re-using containers to decrease the nail polish remover smell and at the end they gave me the Emory board and nail buffer! Great experience! read more

Great gel mani and pedi. Looks fresh even a week later. They really have great attention to detail and good COVID precautions in place (tool sanitation/ hand sanitizers/temp check/plexi glass etc.) read more

I had a great experience getting a get manicure at Nineteen. Emily did my nails and was very meticulous throughout each step, which I really appreciate because often times I find technicians are in a rush. I will 100% be going back, especially because the salon is right on my block. I am so happy! read more
