Nirvana Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Fairhope, Alabama

This was the best experience I've had in a salon. I'm from out of town and I was skeptical about the salons around here, but this one was by far the best choice I could've made. The customer service was phenomenal. *Free drinks *Made sure that I was happy with the product *Welcoming The employees are very experienced with their techniques. Very good at shaping. Overall experience was well deserving of a 5 star review! read more

My first and last time here. I had an appointment for a pedicure and no one seemed happy to get off their phones to do it. Once in a chair, the employees began bad mouthing another employee and not discreetly. The young woman who did my toes cut so deeply into my cuticles, several of my toes were bleeding. This has never happened to me before. The whole time, a man who worked there, was speaking on his phone using foul language. The entire experience was uncomfortable. It's no wonder there wasn't another customer in the place. Avoid this one. read more

I went in without an appointment. I needed a pedicure . My feet were aching. Chi-Chi gave me an excellent pedicure. She deserves five stars. I would give everyone a five star except the owner argued with a customer in front of everyone . A different employee complained about a customer not leaving her a tip loud enough for everyone to hear. read more

I've never posted a bad review on Yelp. Until now. I made an appointment for 2 pm for a gel mani/pedi with Lisa on 4/27/22. I was in the pedi chair just before 2-that was great. They didn't have OPI Dutch Tulips so I went with OPI Red. My nails were naked so I got to soak my feet a little longer-got me past them not having the color I wanted. Nothing good after that. Look closely at the polish job on my toenails AND SKIN. I called on 4/28 to complain that Lisa cut 9 of my fingernails too short and I wanted the red polish removed, and that there was gel stuck on my skin so thick on my toes. David told me to be there at 1 today and he'd fix my fingers repaint my toenails. Look at my repaired fingernails. I paid $80 for a gel mani/pedi on Wed and look how great they look 2 days after. I did walk out of the salon 26 minutes after David "fixed" my manicure-BEFORE I let them fix my toes. Again look closely at the pictures. read more

Exceptional pedicure that was enjoyable throughout the process. Their Royal Pedicure includes deep soak, hot towel wrap, hot stone massage and wax foot dip. Leisurely, relaxed and completely professional. Scrupulously clean. Congenial atmosphere. Definitely recommend. read more

A genuinely wonderful and safe nail salon. David, his mom, and their team will take great care of you. New to the area I used this salon twice and had perfect nails both times. Then I made a mistake...upon the recommendation of someone else I decided to test out ANOTHER salon slightly closer to my house - big mistake. While it may have been the technician I had and not the overall salon, my nails were damaged. The same day I went racing back to David and the team at Nirvana to try and salvage/correct the situation (aka re-do). Not only was David able to talk me through what he was going to do, he explained what the other salon had done incorrectly and what I should be aware of if ever going to another salon. He didn't rest until my manicure was perfect for my engagement photos. No more trying other salons - Nirvana is officially my new destination and I can't wait to bring friends with me next time. Nirvana is a clean, well run, and efficient salon where they care about their work and taking care of their customers. Check out their Instagram and Facebook page for images of their work. If you want an honest salon that stands by their work - this is the place for you. read more

Great pedicure! Chloe is very sweet. She even offered me a soft drink. She forgot to bring me the Dr Pepper but it's the thought that counts. Haha! All the staff are extremely friendly and seem to really know and appreciate their customers, especially their regulars. Very clean place too. Highly recommend! read more

Nirvana Nails & Spa - "Frequent flyer" card... don't forget it! - Nail Salons Near Me - Fairhope, Alabama

This was actually my second SATISFIED visit here. The first was just as amazing. I had the BEST time there today with friends! What fun! The staff laughed with us and the conversation and pedí/mani were awesome! The bad reviews on here perplex me?!?? Because the treatment we received today was wonderful!! I will come back here as often as I'm in town!! Here's to a regular customer you've honestly earned by your great service!! read more

End of day pedicure! They actually have 2 new chairs in the pedicure area. I was one of the lucky ones to get one. They add a plastic liner in the soaking area - taking an extra step to ensure cleanliness. Great foot massage and then my final tangerine orange polish! Thank you Nirvana read more

Amazing pedicure. Clean instruments. Masks. Very thorough. Nice young man did my toes. Didn't feel rushed at all. I have been to other salons in area and will be coming back for sure. read more

This salon is terrible. They have inexperienced girls doing nails that do not know what they are doing. The one that did my toes took too much of the sides of my toe nails and someone had to go back and TRY to fix them. My gel manicure looks horrible and uneven. They did not do any cuticle care or lotion for my manicure. They nicked my finger, it started to bleed, and they did not put alcohol on it or even apologize. The man was sick, sneezing, and hacking. He never washed his hands. He also ground my daughters nails too much with the electric filer and left the tip pattern ground in her nail. Very sloppy and disappointing visit. This will be our first and last time there. read more

While in Fairhope, I was in desperate need of a polish change. After reading a couple of Yelp reviews for Nirvana Nails & Spa, I decided give this salon a try. I came in with two others in my group. Between the three of us, we had two pedicures and three SNS polish changes. The staff gave us a friendly greeting and were able to get started on our services quickly. The three of us were very impressed with this nail salon. The salon itself was clean, and the customer service was awesome. One person in our group is disabled, so it meant a lot that the staff went out of their way to make sure she was comfortable during her pedicure by adjusting her chair and offering her pillows. Unfortunately this is something we haven't experienced at other salons in the area. Next time the three of us are in Fairhope and needed a mani or pedi, we will definitely be returning to Nirvana Nails & Spa. read more

Very rude greeting. Very bad customer service. Wanted a peticure. Classic $30. When I inquired why there was nothing in the soaking tub. They told me that was extra, $50, plus the type of nail polish was another $25. Very bad experience, do not recommend. read more

I came here with my 2 young girls on black Friday, excited for some relaxation. Unfortunately, I was ACTUALLY INJURED. I had a black eye from eyebrow waxing that lasted 8 days. When I showed the technician the then-small bruises while I was still there she said it would be gone in a day. Furthermore, as for the ironically named nirvana massage, both my big toes have ingrown toe nails and the hot rocks were sufficiently hot that I YELPED when she put them on me. I just called to explain what happened, and offered to send pictures, but no apologies, no refunds. What a huge and painful disappointment. read more

I would give a zero if possible! This place uses dirty instruments ( I should have read the other reviews) & hurt my big toe by pulling a cuticle. Bad techniques... read more

While everyone was friendly, I won't be going back. The girl that did my nails had tried to get some of the polish out from under my nails, because she got polish everywhere, and was digging into my skin and it hurt. When I said "Ouch that hurts" she looked at me and laughed and Continued to do what she was doing. When I left I had clumps of gel under my nails and there was the clear gel left all over my fingers. She tried to put the top clear coat on with two coats of polish on one hand and 3 on the other, so I had to remind her she needed another coat. There are bubbles and scuffs on the polish. Not the best experience. read more

I'm in the area visiting a friend and had some time before we were meeting up so made an appointment 24 hours in advance to make sure and been seen in a timely manner. I got into the place and still sat and waited with barely anyone speaking to greet me or set expectations on how long I'd be waiting. Not impressed with customer service at all! I ended up walking out after no update in 20 min. I don't recommend if you are in a hurry or value polite interactions. read more

Was staying at the Grand Marriott Resort for a wedding and needed a manicure/pedicure pronto. Found this place close by, but was nervous about venturing over because there were no yelp reviews, so I'm writing this for other out-of-towners looking for a good nail place close to the resort. From the outside, Nirvana Nails looks like any other no-frills, strip mall, nail salon. It's sandwiched between a Goodwill and a Winn/Dixie. Eep! But once you enter the door, you will find yourself in a bright, airy and CLEAN establishment run by very sweet and friendly Southern-fried Vietnamese-American women who take pride in their work. As I mentioned, the place is very clean. They use a fresh pack of sterilized manicure tools for each customer. They sanitize the foot baths. They are careful and gentle but thorough. They do not rush through a mani/pedi as I've experienced in other nail places but they are still efficient. The massage chairs are above-standard and well-maintained. They rub your feet with fresh lime or lemon or whatever the citrus fruit of the day is. The biggest thing for me is they respect what you ask for. They do not try to upsell you in the middle the pedicure with all the annoying "only $5 extra" offers. They are above that. You can enjoy your pedicure in peace. I'd guess more than half of the clients were returning and very consistent customers, a good sign. They were all chatting and laughing with each other. This seemed to be their happy place. During my visit, two long-time customers came in. They didn't have an appointment but were just dropping by to give Valentines Day gifts to the manicurists. Good vibes everywhere. The lady next to me got the "Nirvana" Pedicure which includes a hot stone massage. During the pedicure, the lady must have reached nirvana because her sighs were practically "When Harry met Sally" orgasmic, and when the hot stones were massaged onto the bottoms of her paraffin'd feet, she let out a good ol' Southern "Woo Wee! Honey Child!" which made everyone else giggle and applaud her newfound personal indulgence. Every nail salon seems to have one lead woman who is bossy or grumpy or both. Not this place. The leading lady was adorable & bubbly, smiling and thoroughly enjoying the company of her equally amicable clientele. I smiled the entire time I was there, and walked out with very pretty hands and feet. So if you're visiting from out of town and looking for a good, clean local place to get your nails done. I highly recommend. read more

Just visited this place for the first time and it was terrible. I had more hangnails afterwards than before I got the manicure which has never happened. The lady I had kept trying to correct the nail polish by using her own fingernails but she had cotton all over hers so there were streaks in my nail polish in several nails from the cotton strands. She had to do one nail 3 times because it was bubbly and not smooth at all. The nail polish has already chipped off of most of my nails and it's been 2 days. I would not recommend going here especially when there are many other options in the area. read more

For starters I would give this business a less than 0 star rating if that was an option. I am extremely disappointed in the overall service that was shown to me. We went in, with an appointment, to get our nails done. My family and I evacuated for Hurricane Ida and I wanted to have some peace and relaxation, which was sadly the exact opposite of what was given. Kevin was the worker who provided the service. I had never seen the process he used to do this. I have very healthy long natural nails. He kept using the drill on them even after the gel polish was on. I have never seen anyone do this. My gel nails peeled off within the first hour of us arriving home. I get my nails done at my salon in Metairie, LA approximately once a month and they last for about 3 weeks. I called the next morning and he would not refund the money. I was worried about the damage to my nails have to go through the process so close to the last one. However, the owner stated that he "wanted to make it right" and was more than capable of getting the job done but only by redoing the nails. He would not refund the money. I took this opportunity, thinking the owner would at least know what he was doing. Well, once again I was disappointed because they started peeling off that same day once again. He put three layers of gel on and two top coats. I have never seen that before either. I was too upset to call back so my daughter called for me. She explained the situation and asked for a refund. He yelled over the phone saying it was ""my nails fault" and refused to refund and then hung up on my daughter in mid sentence. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Please stay away - my nails are sooo damaged. read more

Have had difficulty with them keeping appointments. Ended up leaving x 2 after they were overbooked.

I was in town for conference and wanted pedicure and manicure. I found this place on Yelp. Staff friendly. Facilities clean and comfortable. Gel nails came out awesome. Highly recommend read more

I normally go to a salon in Foley, but I haven't been able to go lately due to my husband being in the hospital. The staff here was extremely friendly and was able to do my SNS fill/change as quick as possible. I was impressed with them. Will definitely go back read more

I just spent an hour in Nirvana having a pedicure and manicure and it was a great experience. I am a long time customer-although somewhat sporadic about when I show up. The crew always remembers me and most often remembers what I require. They are always courteous and helpful. My feet come out looking New read more

Polite, professional and thorough! My goto place for a good manicure/pedicure that lasts!

I would give this "business" less than a 0 star rating if possible. My mom and I both had 3 pm reservations for our nails this past Saturday at Nirvana. We are evacuated for Hurricane Ida and wanted to treat ourselves and be able to relax from all the stress. To say we were disappointed is being kind. For starters we were there for over 2 and a half hours for a service that takes at most 45 minutes. Kevin, the worker who INSISTED he do both of our nails because the other workers "do poor service and would have us there for hours" had us there for hours himself plus his work was the worst I have ever seen and I have been getting my nails done monthly for 6 years. My mom's gel polish peeled off within the same hour we arrived home from the salon. My dip with tip cracked in half within the first 4 hours of us being back. Keep in mind I normally keep my nails on and looking amazing for 2 1/2- 3 weeks and my mom about 3-4 weeks. I called yesterday and nicely explained the situation to the owner and asked for a refund for us. The owner in return was extremely rude and unprofessional saying it was our nails fault, not anything his employee did. He refused and said "that's not how we do things around here". With that being said, my suggestion to anyone considering this "business" don't. I am extremely disappointed at both the service and the treatment that was given. read more

While I was getting a manicure, the technician used the cuticle trimmer to trim something off her nails (this is happening mid manicure). I was appalled and asked for new tools to which she reluctantly and with an attitude grabbed a pair nearby. The second pair did not come from a sanitized pouch.... merely just happened to be in reaching distance. Furthermore, the son treats the mother horribly in front of customers. read more

I really enjoyed my experience at this salon today. The nail tech was very sweet and did a great job!

I got coffin nails. Supposed to be maroon. It's a red wine color, they're different lengths, and they are way to fat.

Walked in & was immediately greeted by a smiling friendly salon staff. I had the nirvana pedi & regular manicure. Very relaxing & affordable! I will come back to Nirvana every time. read more

Only giving one star because I can't give 0. They don't use clean tools. I watched them move from one person to the next with the same ones then copped an attitude with me when I asked for clean ones saying that it isn't necessary. Then he barely filed my nails then tried putting polish over the nail without cleaning off the file dust. When I asked if I could wash my hands first he jerked my hand back and sternly said no. I then walked out. I would never step foot in here again. read more

All of the positive reviews are well-deserved. Without an appointment on a Wednesday morning, David gave me a warm welcome. After just a few minutes wait - for which he apologized - I received excellent services (spa pedicure/regular manicure) from Leelee. Even though there were other walk-in clients waiting, she did not rush and was extremely particular about her work. I appreciated her skill and the attention to cleanliness in the salon. I hope to return on our vacation next year! read more
