Tom no longer works here and after many tries to see if this spot could still be one I frequent, this past visit was the last straw. I called at 1 PM and asked to schedule an appointment for 2 pedicures at 5 PM. The employee told me no problem please come at 5 then. Upon arriving the shop was bustling and busy but we waited after checking in. It took until 5:40 to be placed in a chair and then at 5:55 with my feet still soaking I asked how long would the pedicure take? They told me 45 min but I had to leave by 6:15-6:20 so I told them I'd have to go instead of getting my toes done. No one had set up. No one had spoken to me about the service. They put me in a chair and had my feet soaking when I said I needed to go. I promptly offered to pay for just the soak because I had a time constraint and had to go. It is now 6:05 and the service hasn't been started. Immediately the woman who owns the shop was rude and standoffish when I said I had to go, again I called about coming at 5 AND offered to pay for the soak. She just grunted and didn't respond then proceeded to loudly and obviously begin talking about me to her coworkers about my asking to leave (including pointing at me). Taking my feet out the soak I asked for a towel. She grabbed the used, dirty towel someone had just left on the next chair over then just threw it on the floor. DISGUSTING. I was happy to pay for the soak and come back the next day when I had time. Now I'll never be back. Dirty and rude. Highly recommend skipping out of coming here. read more

Awful. They botched my nails and 3 of 10 broke in 4 days. I returned to see if they could just soak my powder off and they said they were closing early. I asked if they could just start my soak off since they had other clients waiting and they said no they were closing. I then said could they soak off tomorrow morning and they said they were closed try another shop. The attitude was horrible and nasty. read more

Annie is the most thorough mani/pedi professional I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I have tried to find a comparable salon close to home but always come back to Annie to make my feet so smooth and nails so pretty. She has excellent mani/pedi skills and a friendly outlook and the result lasts longer than I could expect. read more

Came here about a month ago to Kim and everything turned out beautiful! That is the only reason I am leaving two (more like 2.5) stars. I returned today and unfortunately Kim was not there. I was greeted by an older woman whom was very rough while filing my nails, but whatever. My problem was with the paint job. It was on my skin, also on the skin under my nail bed, and lumpy! I ended up asking her to just remove the polish. Highly disappointed. Not sure if I'll be returning. Paid $23 for half of a job. read more

I frequented this salon when I lived in Lake Arbor because of the conscience of being able to just walk there for a mani pedi. Once so moved further out, I stopped going and found that the other salons could not do what I wanted like Jenni...so now I have returned. She does the best compared to the others that I've gone too..(with one exception) read more

Came from Virginia and needed a full set. My nail tech was a sweet older lady but OMG .. ridiculous prices. I was charged $50 for this set because I requested a long length ..... this is not a long length and I don't feel I should have been charged 50. She couldn't get my coffin shape right either .... disappointing experience. read more

Terrible first and last experience here. Don't waste your time or your money. I called ahead and was told by a woman that a Full Set w/gel color and coffin shape was $50. Which was fine by me, so I came because It was the same price I pay at my regular nail saon. Before he starts my nails, I ask about the pricing again with gel color and he sais $50-full set. I was like cool. (As he's doing my nails) The man started saying a extra $5 for length (Even though my nails were not long, I normally get them longer, so I know what "long" is) and $5 extra for shape. The woman I spoke to on the phone "claims" she didn't hear me ask about gel and shape on the phone, which is a lie because her responses determined if I actually wanted to go to the salon in the first place. I barely got the coffin shape I wanted, the man had an attitude because I kept asking him to file more. My nails are lumpy and I plan to get them redone as soon as possible. I even tried filing them myself when I got home. read more

Been coming to this salon since I was a teenager. Always professional and great pedicures. I generally let whomever is doing my design on my toes have free reign. I generally stop in once every three weeks for eyebrow maintenance. Let me put it this way: there's a nail salon near my home that I can take literally 8 minutes to walk to, yet I will drive 25 minutes to get to this salon and have my pampering done here at Only Nails. read more

OPI polishes are in the back near the pedicure chairs. Chairs were nice & in good shape, 8 available. Basic pedicure was $20. Communication could have been better. Not sure there was a price list posted. A regular patron keeps her implements there. She was getting hot towels. I was sorry I hadn't asked for a deluxe pedicure, but I didn't know what was available. read more

Went on Saturday for a regular manicure and pedicure ($35) these are my nails Sunday. Chipped and full of bubbles. Massage for my pedicure was terrible. She pretty much just oiled my legs and feet. Not sure who worked on me, an older, small lady but thats fine bc I won't be back. read more

I had a HORRIBLE experience. I let them know it was the first time I'd ever gotten a full set and they took full advantage. I was in and out in 30mins. Compared to how long my friends usually take I thought the time was perfect. Boy was I wrong. My nails were in pain but I thought it would go away, it didn't. The next day I showed my nail savvy friends their work and they pointed out the flaws in the nails. I didn't mind them not being perfect, but my nail pain continued to grow. After I sent a picture to the owner and asked for them to remove the nails and refund my money. They refused (strike 1) but obviously saw how crazy my nails looked and told me they could fix my nails free of charge. I allowed them to. Upon my arrival they told me they weren't going to remove the nails (strike 2) and that they could fix it. I told them as long as I'm not spending any money it will be fine. (Trying to give then another chance on a failed $50 full set) It turns out the issue was the shaping of the nails. Once she filed the sides I felt like a huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders. My nail pain went from a level 6 to a 0 (out of 10). So I was in terrible pain because they took advantage of my ignorance of nails. I had to bring my friend with me to make sure they didn't mess it up like last time. When they finished fixing their mistakes they tried to charge me 50% off of the service (strike 3.) I informed her that I was not going to pay $75 for a full set ($50 original + $25 "fix") when I wanted a refund and they told me they would fix my nails free of charge. They began to yell at me and threaten me. I would not recommend anyone go to that salon. They don't know what they're doing and they have horrible customer service. Never again. I attached pictures of my nails so you can see how bad they were read more

Tom is the bomb.com. He is excellent at what he does(except for dipping powder). He is very personable, friendly and humorous. He takes pride in his work and ensures that I am satisfied. Sometimes he works too fast but I guess he has to make his money. I only see Tom and I call ahead so I do not have to wait. The place is neat and clean unlike most nail salons. The other tech are robotic and rarely if any time do the engage with their customers. So Tom really is the reason why I go here for pedicures and manicures. read more

So I gave this salon 1 Star because the 2 techs who did my sns powder & pedi were nice, however I had to ask the tech who did my sns powder to buzz my nails after she applied the powder. The powder was a little bumpy around some of my cuticles & it just wasn't very smooth. The tech told me that if they buzz the cuticle before putting On the powder they usually don't buzz the powder afterwards. I have never heard of this at any other salon. It's necessary to buzz the powder & around the cuticle after it is applied to the nail to make it clean & smooth. What am I paying for if the job is not fully complete?? She said she would do it wanted so of course I said yes. The tech really rushed the whole time & kept saying since my kids are with me she doesn't want to keep me. Which would have been fine except for the fact that my children were perfectly fine and we're not causing any problems or complaining. The pedicure was mediocre. I am from New York and pedicures are much cheaper and I've done more thoroughly. I find that in Maryland a $25 pedicure is not done very well and they Only take their time and do a good job if you're paying for a $45 and up spa pedicure! And the Straw that broke the camels back was when I was asked to wash my hands and when I walked over to the sink I was greeted by baby roaches running all over! I found this very disgusting so I let her finish up my nails and I got out of there as quickly as possible. Needless to say I will not be returning to this salon! read more

I started coming back to this nail salon since it's in the neighborhood, but since I've been getting pedicures here it looks like I definitely a toenail fungus on my big toe and my toenails have become thin from them removing gel polish with the nail drill, I have never had a toenail fungus before but I started to notice it turning darker and I'm looking at it as while Linda is doing my pedicure and she asks me "what happened" and in my head I'm thinking you know ...I don't think they sanitize their tools between customers clearly or switch them out. And Jenny rushes with the nails like she is racing for time and to get to the next customer.. mind you I was cut 3 times from the damn nail file she used from being so rough... I try not to complain but this is too much especially when you have raised the prices but give poor services. I am disappointed and I think I will have to look for yet another nail salon, probably a more private one. read more

I wish i could give it HALF a Star. The guy was the WORST!! Too damn rough while doing my pedicure the entire time! I was sooo blown. Usually i get pedicures to relax. I was on edge thinking this guy was gonna cut me or file off a toe!! The other thing that is a HUGE deal breaker is the massage. Don't half ass massage me if I'm paying $35 plus to get a pedicure, not to mention I felt like they were talking about me the entire time. A waste of time & money. Don't do it to yourself unless you don't have standards. read more

Kim was efficient and thorough. She packs a lot of power for someone as small as she is. I was caught a little off guard when she went to work on my feet it and was was a little forceful at times but she did an overall great job and left my soles feeling like a baby. She also does great unique designs. I hate when I feel as is they are rushing me, but this was a great job. Probably better to book an appt first read more

I've never had service here so my review is based off of my initial phone encounter. I contacted them to find out how much a gel fill cost and was told that gel color is $25 and gel polish is $35. Now, I had no idea what the difference was so I asked the woman if she could explain and after she explained I just didn't understand because of the language barrier. I asked if she could repeat herself and she says It cost $40. Now I'm even more confused than I was before and ask if I can speak to someone who can explain and the woman hangs up on me. I call back several more times and she doesn't answer. I decide to call from a different number and low and behold she answers. I ask to speak with a manager and she tells me the manager isn't in the salon. I respectfully let her know that she was very rude to hang up on someone and she can't get mad at a potential customer because they can't understand her English. I will not be going to this place ever. read more

my go-to spot for mani-pedi. Linda is the best! the place is clean and quiet, however you may want to make an appointment on weekends.
