I'm literally SO disappointed! I recently moved to the area and wanted to find a nail salon close to home. Everything started really well but I knew it was too good to be true. I called in on a Friday morning and asked if they had any openings that afternoon, kindly I was told yes. I came in around 5:15 waited about 10 minutes and that's the quickest I've ever been seen anywhere on a Friday so I was VERY impressed. I asked for a gel pedicure but I felt it was very rushed. The guy who did my toes did give me a good foot massage so I'll give him credit for the massage. The gel pedicure took about 20 minutes if not less. I noticed that the nail polish being used looked old and dry but I didn't say anything. A lady then proceeded to do my dip power manicure. The lady was super nice but I also felt like she was rushing. My nails were short but she didn't shape them or remove the loose cuticles around my nails which is typically part of the service. I don't like confrontation so I didn't say anything, my total came out to $100 for low quality and rushed work. I tipped the workers well even though they rushed the entire time which I regret because when I got home I noticed a big chunk of polish missing from my $50 "gel pedicure". There are so many other salons in the area I will never give them my business again. I'll give them 2 stars because the lady who did my dip powder was nice and because of the foot massage other than that I'll never come here again.
I was so disappointed!!! I had technician Amy who was by far the worst technician I've ever experienced. My friend and I stopped in for a spa day. I was given Amy, she didn't great me, nor speak to me. The lady who greeted us at the door got the details of what we wanted. I asked to have my gel nails soaked off, cut down, and to have a regular manicure. I asked her NOT to use tools on my nails, but she insisted. I told her to please be gentle. I guess that made her mad. She did look at me nor talk with me from that time forward. She talked with other technicians in her language. Once my pedicure was complete she placed the toe separators on me wrong (picture below) Long story short my toes kept touching. I suggested that she place them on properly, she snatched them off. I pulled my foot back, she immediately fixed my toe for a second time and then complained in her language because everyone turned to look in my direction. She asked me to pay her before we were done, I payed her with my credit card, and of course I did not leave a tip. SMH
I met up with some friends to spend some time together. I arrived first, and I told the two employees that I was waiting for my friends. One of the employees was like, okay, sign this form and I'll take you temperature. There's no sign on the door that I needed to wear a mask nor any other indication that any other COVID19 protocols were being followed. The employees were very pushy and difficult to understand. The employee then invited me to pick my polish color. After I did so, I was ushered to a pedi/foot bath chair. At no point in this process had anyone asked what services I wanted. The other employee started working on my feet. The bath water was tepid. She handed me a service menu and asked what I wanted. I decided on the basic pedi with a foot and leg massage. She was very rough with every step of the process: the filing, exfoliating, and the "massage," which consisted of her pushing my feet/toes as far up as they could go, pulling on my toes until they popped, repeatedly digging her thumbs as hard as she could into the same spots of my shins and the tops of my feet, then lifting my feet up and pounding on the soles with her fists like tenderizing a raw slab of meat. Then she finished by wrapping my legs/feet in hot towels that were painfully hot. I told her the first towel was too hot, she muttered something and put the other one on. The actual pedicure was shoddy work: my toenails were not properly shaped and the polish is already coming off, if it was even there in the first place. One of my friends was also getting a pedicure. The employee who did her feet did the procedure differently. Her bath water was scalding hot. I was provided with disposable flipflop things and toe spacers, but her tech put her sandals back on then put on the toe spacers. She also wanted a manicure with the ring finger a different color. A third employee who was doing her mani did not fulfill her request, nor try to fix it when my friend pointed out the error. Suffice to say, I'm very dissatisfied with this establishment and will not go back.
I was scared to get my nails done here because of the reviews. But I was so desperate because I haven't had my nails done in a while due to everything being closed "Covid-19" I went and everything was great. I got my nails done at my exact appointment time and was out in a house
I should have checked here before I went! Idk why they have a 4.3 on google. Went base off of that & not planning to go back. They were nice & did call/text after my google review. Nice in the inside but my nails look bad - not the worst but my last sns experience @ belle nails in dc Capitol hill was amazing so following with this was disappointing. I also don't think they know how to take dip nail off safely - he went straight to trying with these plier things!
I recently moved to the area and am on the search for a go-to nail salon. Ya know, a place where everybody will know my name. I used to go to Beauty Nails a little further down Route 1, but sadly my manicurist left the country...I figured I may as well find a place closer to my new home. Paradise is located in the same shopping center as Weis and on the same strip as a liquor store and papa john's. The interior is nice and updated. I went in on a Wednesday night a little after 7:30 for a Mani/pedi ($35). Wasn't sure if they'd be able to squeeze in both since they close at 8 but told me they could. I noticed another customer arrived at 8 for a gel mani, the other manicurist took her even though she had her coat on and was ready to walk out the door. How nice of them! I didn't catch my manicurist's name, he did a fairly good job overall. A couple nails weren't filed properly and there was a piece of lint stuck on my polished finger, but he corrected everything as soon as I pointed it out. He did so politely too. Overall this place is good enough, the staff is friendly and accommodating. They might even take you as they're about to close. Only downside is they didn't seem meticulous (that also could have been cuz it was late and he probably wanted to leave)- didnt wait in between coats, nails not filed perfectly, all that little stuff that bothers OCD nail freaks like me lol. However, they're very nice and are happy to fix whatever you point out right away. I'll give this place another try, probably a little earlier in the day so they don't have to rush.
A big thank you to Misa who always does an excellent job when doing my manicure and pedicure. Loving my Christmas Red color and design. Excellent customer service and I was surprised with a XMAS Thank you gift. Wishing all the ladies and gentlemen Happy Holidays. See you next year.
Before I begin this I will say that I'm a very experienced customer in nail enhancements. Since 16 I've gotten my nails done faithfully every two weeks and can count on one hand the number of poor experiences I've had. I'm 29 now. I came in for a full set, basic pedicure, and eyebrows. The service was ok, my pedi was as expected no issues. The young lady who did my eyebrows was good. My full set, however, lasted all of six days! I've never seen this! Two of my nails lifted at the bottom and my thumb nail popped off completely. My service cost $75, I shouldn't have these issues, especially when I'm always careful with my nails! I expected better and won't return.
I had a 9:00 appointment this past Saturday and I was promptly greeted and seated for a pedicure. Idk if she was double booked but she put my nails on while I was getting a pedicure and was told another tech would finish my nails. Two other people worked on my nails and I asked for a design which was dated and yet another person did that. I thought the point of making an appointment with a specific person is so THEY WILL DO YOUR NAILS. Not thrilled but it was decent. The man that did my pedicure was awesome as always. Next time I'll bring a picture .
Went here for the first time today and was serviced by Leo. He was great! My pedicure and manicure with dipped color turned out perfect! Very nice atmosphere, and most importantly, CLEAN!!! I definitely will be going back!
I walked in after a long for a gel pedi based on a neighbor friend's recommendation. I was overdue and got a 4-in-1 massage for my legs and feet. My feet were scrubbed clean and buffed and painted to perfection. Many shops these days cut corners. However, Ms. Tina took her time with me! It's not summer anymore but people have complimented me on my feet when they see them. Pretty weird but also the power of a perfect pedi!! read more

My nail technician, Lynn, has been doing my nails for well over a decade. I met her at another salon and followed her here when she left. That's how good she is. Every time I leave town or if she's out of town and I let another technician do my nails and then go back to her it's always breaking. She gets mad when I go someplace else because that happens. She is the only one who takes care of me and after this long, she is more like a sister to me now. read more

Horrible experience, I went on to leave a review on Google, to which the owner responded saying "your leaving a review on the wrong store, we are almost 5 stars for a reason" when I have a receipt with there address on it which I will be putting into the photos. Horrible nail service, and horrible customer service. I will also be leaving a picture of the owners response back to me read more

I went in with my mother to treat us to a much needed mani and pedi. She got the dip and I got acrylic full set and a regular pedi for both. Our nails were chipping the NEXT DAY. Not to mention I found them on Instagram and asked one of the workers AHEAD of time if they could do a specific bear design I wanted since I was giving birth soon and she said yes. You can see in the pictures it was all bogus. We went back in the morning to try and fix the immediate chipping and they were so rude and said we had to pay again mind you I paid $175 for the both of us. Terrible customer service . DO NOT recommend the place. read more

I asked for OMBRE NAILS.. definitely didn't get that. I asked if they had glow n the dark polish they told me yes. They didnt do the ombre correct nor did they give me the glow n the dark polish. On top of all that my nails popped off 3 days later and they are supposed to be gel. I will never come back. They weren't friendly. read more

This salon is HORRIBLE and honestly I'm not sure if everyone there doing nails is even licensed. I've gone multiple times and each time something is wrong but i just brush it off but this time my actual nail was damaged (I usually get acrylics). First off I asked for a soak off just to avoid this and the man ignored my request and took them off roughly with nail clippers and other nails. Then proceeded to give me a "manicure". Aka picked at my cuticles (which did not need to be done) and put clear polish. Not much filing or clipping of nails which is what I really needed. He charged me $20 and so I was like whatever and just didn't tip since I felt he did horribly, my nails were aching and still sharp and uneven. I went home and later on I took a shower and the water from the shower hurt SO bad. It's then I realized he cut my nail deeply. I went back trying to speak to a manager and no one could direct me and everyone was just looking at my nails. Then the one lady who seemed like the only one who could actually do nails there told me I couldn't get a refund but she'd redo my nails. The issue is I don't want my nails done there, and I explained to her it's always something and she kept saying she'd fix it but the point is, I want no one there touching my nails. She claimed it's her job to fix things, but this wouldn't have happened if the employees did their jobs properly and listened to what I wanted in the first place. She had an attitude and couldn't even give me and her full attention so I walked out because as a customer, you should give me your full attention and respect and not have an attitude, rudeness. I was just informing everyone to not go here, save your money and time please! Love your self and your nails and don't go here read more
