I was looking for an early gel manicure on this lovely Sunday morning and Google searched for an open salon. I gave Nola Nails a call, as they were among the first salons to open, and they told me that I could come right in. They literally had just opened for the day. Note to all - make an appointment. I really lucked out because when I left they were getting busy. The manicurist did a great job and my nails look great. She took her time and asked questions as she went to make sure I was getting exactly the shape and polish color I wanted. The prices are very competitive and I'm a happy customer. :) read more

Nola Nails - Love this color! Gel #229 - Nail Salons Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

I've never wanted to make one of these accounts to leave such a bad review on anyone business EVER but this is the most unprofessional, unsatisfying, UNDELIVERABLE business I've ever been too!!! Don't normally go here but I've been here about 3 or 4 times, maybe, and each time it's always some mess. They don't like you to tell them your opinion during services on little nics here and there. You tell them DONT do something they still do it anyway! Once during a nail service my nail bed was almost drilled off after constantly telling the "specialist" about the uncomfortness she was causing and the audacity of her to get upset because I started complaining! Tried to give them another chance they don't even know how to properly do French tips apparently UNLESS they just do whatever to certain people. Again, they're mad arguing back and forth with me because I'm requesting touch ups here and there. So I no longer need them to do my nails but call myself trying to let them do toe polish. I politely ask her to not cut my toe nails, simply shape them up nothing too much I'm only here for polish, she does the exact opposite. Of course as a paying customer, I have an opinion on my service and the guy who I guess runs the show there, Mr. Big Stuff, always intervenes but however doesn't make situations better. He's always seeming to step up like a superhero but in reality he makes a fuss about every little thing! Rude at its finest! I've never been in a business where management or workers CONSTANTLY argue back and forth with customers! He's never not trying to have the last word. And honestly dude, if you read this it looks bad! It's definitely BAD BUSINESS to not let your clientele express themselves to get the best service possible. And as a man, servicing women why are you so quick to man handle situations that aren't even supposed to be made as big as you make them???? This guy alone, never fails to make me uncomfortable when I'm here! This business needs to just be shut down honestly! UTILIZE THIS SPACE FOR SOMETHING BETTER IN THERE COMMUNITY! If I can give them no stars I would! Take the one star and be thankful pricks! read more

If I could give a prize for the WORST nail experience ever - they would get it. An absolute waste of time. My nails looked better when I got there than when I left. The "manicure" took 11 minutes. I love the massage place next door but they were booked, so I went next door. I'll never make that mistake again. In my years on Yelp, I have left dozens of positive reviews but this is only my second negative one. I just get really disappointed to see folks pretending to be service professionals when they have no clue. read more

Had an amazing, relaxing experience at NOLA nails. I booked an appointment and was immediately sat. My nails tech was professional and experienced. She took her time and did an amazing job with my gel pedicure and Dip powder nails. I love how everything turned out will definitely be coming back. read more

Nola Nails - Dip powder nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Went to this establishment on last Tuesday 10/5 and here it is 10/11 and my nails are already chipping. And this is gel polish. The ladies that work her was very nice, however she never asked me how to style my nails. She just shaped them how she wanted to. All of the polish displayed looked so old like they had it since pre Katrina. I won't ever go back. read more

I'm literally outside of the location IN TEARS while I'm typing this. I've been coming here for 3 years now, I recommend people here all the time. The last few experiences have been pretty horrible but not as bad as this one. I walked in the location 5:30 for a pedicure and full set. I got an acrylic toe in my two toes. The acrylic looks okay but the paint job is horrible. I literally hate my feet. THEN it's 6:30 on the dot (their closing time) and we get to my fingers. I told the guy if y'all want me to come another time that's fine because I don't want them rushed. He tells me he won't rush. He precedes to force the nails that I currently had on with a tip and I'm expressing to him that it hurts and I'll just come another time. Now the little layers I had on my real nails are gone and thin. I told him don't worry about the two remaining nails because that's how bad it literally hurt for him to remove them. They weren't even acrylic nails they were powder nails you can soak off and mind you I've had them for almost 5 weeks so imagine how bad they were hurting to force them off. I've been a customer for 3 years. And I ALWAYS tip except for the last two times I've came. I'm super disappointed and I had to pay $90 for just my feet. If they were done properly I wouldn't mind. But this is the WORST experiences I've had. My hands are literally sweating and shaking from this traumatic experience. NEVER AGAIN read more

Zero stars. I haven't even gotten service and have been waiting for 15 minutes so far. Was greeted to people looking at me and one nail tech says hello without eye contact. No one asks what I need to get done, so I tell Them I need a pedicure and everyone went about their business. Still no one has told me how long the wait is or pick a color etc. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! read more

Me and my mom were looking for a nail place and stumbled across this place, the reviews seemed good so we thought it would be great! Little did we know this would not be the case. I wanted my toe nails to be squared, the woman even asked me if I wanted square and I said yes. She did not file my nails correctly, not even the slightest! My toenails are now super round and my mom is currently filing them square! They also seemed very rushed which is most likely why she did NOT clean the sides of skin which is why there is nail polish all over. Won't return read more

Was my only day off so I decided to pamper myself. Stumbled upon Nola nails and what a find. Moon the lady who took care of me was very pleasant and took good care of me. They have a nice selection of spa manicures and it was very relaxing. The other staff there were super friendly and welcoming. I've never done dip before and moon suggested I did. It was a nice experience and I'll definitely be returning. read more

I'd like to start by saying that i don't take any medications that would make my skin sensitive. I got a lip wax and my lip is destroyed. It looks awful and really hurts. Nail work is not bad but i would not get waxed here. Just don't want anyone else to go through this! The pic i posted doesn't really do justice to how bad the scar looks read more

Nola Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

This was a very disappointing visit. I have visited here a couple years ago and the experience was ok, but this time it was all wrong. First, there was no menu of services at the door. When I requested a mani pedi, I was told to sit down at one of the desks. The attendant did not provide any options for the mani service, so I guess what I got was what she wanted to provide. Also, the attendant pulled the clippers from her drawer. There was no packaging indicating it had been sanitized. I was concerned, but decided to have faith. Later in the week, an infection surfaced on the side of my thumb, but I can't say it was definitely caused by the manicure. At the desk next to me, I saw a new customer receive the same towel of a previous customer but just turned over. If you want a quiet spa experience, this place is not for you. It is crowded with knick knacks, attendent desks had lunch leftovers and more knick knacks, customers are very close to each other, and the attendants felt the need to talk loudly to each other across the salon continuously. When sitting for my pedicure, I was finally provided a menu. However the attendant didn't speak English so asking her questions were futile. By the time my services were done, I was ready to run out the doors. Never again will I visit this place. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! The "nail technicians" are very incompetent. One nail came completely off and the polish came off of the other. This set was done less than one week ago. Had to give at least one star to post this review. If it were possible, this establishment would get no stars. read more

Nola Nails - Don't waste your money! - Nail Salons Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

This place is easily five stars to me despite that it's always packed. But hey, they are clearly doing a lot of things right to keep it that way. The staff is incredibly friendly and conversational, the service is fabulous, and they have TONS of colors to choose from! They will always try to accommodate walk-ins but definitely try to make an appointment beforehand to make sure everything goes smoothly. I tried to come here in the past but they were totally booked and I would have had to wait 45 minutes so I ended up going somewhere else instead. However, after seeing such great reviews, I decided to give it a try early on a Saturday morning and they were able to squeeze me in, but not easily. In the future, I will definitely remember to make an appointment first. They are open on Sunday's which is pretty unique of nail salons. I like the salt scrub they use for their pedicures and the fact they do a great buffing job to remove ALL the dead dry skin on your feet. I came in with horribly dry and dilapidated feet after working all day at an outdoor zoo event that consisted of me chasing after children in flip flops, but after they were done they were pretty, smooth and as good as new again! read more

Came in town to visit family and my nieces arrived wanting to get their nails done. We contacted 3 nail salons who responded they were too busy to fit us in, NOLA Nails said they could take us with minimal wait. We arrived and the staff were friendly and professional. They worked us in for 3 full sets and my husband for a pedicure. He had a great time and felt much more relaxed after his pamper session. I'll be back and recommending them to friends in the area. I decided to go with the dip in matte black and gold, they look stellar! My nieces also loved their new nails too. Thank you read more

I was extremely satisfied with my experience. My nails came out amazing! However, after a week, the matte coating on my nails started to get yellow. It wasn't very cute.

Horrible salon I ever been to. Early morning,my friend and I were the first ones in the salon. First time trying something new,along with Prom in the same week. Asked for Gel burgundy nails and even picked the color. The lady added glitter and way too many layers of clear coat on top that made the nails bumpy(this is on my real nails and not acrylics) after complaining and asking for a refund,the lady who did my nails caused a scene when I was being respectful and calm. After saying it was fine I didn't need a refund,the same lady went to another client and gossiped about how I am crazy and such which was very unprofessional. Another lady tried to fix my nails but it made my nails look worse and matte not even SHINY. My friend spent $85 for hands and feet within 2 days the polish chipped off her toe nails! Ridiculous service and very immature. We won't be returning!!! read more

Worst nail job I've ever received. I've gotten my nails done for many years, and this is by far the worst. My 10 year old could've done a better job, and for free! Terrible polish job that was very rushed and far more expensive then any other nail shop. Wouldn't recommend this place to my least favorite people. Stop rushing and be a little more friendly. Ugh read more

First time visiting this shop and it was AWFUL!!!!!! The man that serviced me had a sucky ass attitude! After I told him the polish was too thick he became rude. Snatched the gel machine while my hand was still inside! We argued for a while. I payed, then left. I WILL NEVERRRRRRRERER GIVE THEM MY BUSINESS AGAIN. Considering the fact that they're over priced ($27 for a full set) you would think that their customer service is A1. NOT read more

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. The owner of this salon is an incredibly dishonest man who charges hidden fees without your knowledge or consent while he is doing your nails. Long review awaits: I came here for the first time with my mother and grandmother; we all got manicures and pedicures. I just got an acrylic refill, which is supposed to be $19 and had him replace one nail (which ended up being totally pointless, but I digress) which should've brought my total to $22. My grandmother finished first and handed over her card, mind you, she is elderly and doesn't speak much English and the total was $200. Finally when the owner finished with my nails, I asked him for an itemized receipt because the $200 grand total did not make sense to me. It turns out he had charged me $30 for a refill, which is literally more than the cost of an entirely new set of nails. When I questioned him, he proceeded to argue that the shape I got (which was oval) was $5 and he charged me an additional $3 for a nail trim... what??? I have never been charged for these things in my life and I am not new to getting my nails done. He was so exceedingly rude to me and refused to refund the extra amount he had charged me unknowingly even though his menu did not specify these charges nor did he tell me he would be charging extra for what is considered basic practice in the nail world. He also did a shoddy job and didn't employ the use of fans in between hands so I had to sit extra long to dry and still messed up a nail. He also brought one finger nearly to blood with his rough technique. This nail salon owner is a pathetic excuse for a business owner and lacks basic customer service and etiquette. He is shady and shows no remorse for overcharging an elderly woman behind her back with no consent. I am appalled by this place. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. read more

I went in on a Wednesday without an appointment during lunch, I was able to get right in. I wanted a heart on one nail for valentines day. I was told that the girl who does designs was off work that day. After a small dilemma my nail artist decided she would give the heart a try. She did a fine job, I walked away with beautiful sparkly red nails with a heart for valentines day. I guess what I'm getting is, if you want designs on your nails look elsewhere or call ahead to see if someone there is willing to do that design. HUGE Perk: LOTS of gel/shellac colors! WOW!!! read more
