OMG! Pauline is fabulous! After reading reviews here on Yelp I decided to make an appointment with Pauline for a mani/pedi. I'm SO happy I did. Her studio is super cute and very clean. Pauline herself is super nice too. She is rocking it! I got the best pedicure and my hands look phenomenal! If you're really looking to relax and get a great mani/pedi Pauline is your girl! You won't be disappointed!

Wow I was shocked with the quality of my nails after my appointment with Pauline! She took the time to get to know my nails and pick the polish suited best for me, as well as taking the time to get to know me. Pauline is kind and is an amazing positive person. She even waited for me to make it to my car safely. My nails have never looked better for the price I payed! I payed 40 dollars for my previous gel nails to be removed and for her to carefully shape and polish my nails to perfection. After I was done she gave me samples as well as a cuticle oil to apply in my car. I have been to many places that charge me well over 40 dollars and my nails have never looked nearly as good as they do now! If you are looking for a kind woman to take the time and care for your hands, come here! You won't be disappointed! After such a great experience I'm definitely coming back!

Very good mani pedi! I haven't gotten my nails done professionally in over a year and I've been in dire need of a "treat me" nail appointment. Pauline was very sweet and took care of my needs as well as putting on some tv we could both enjoy and talk about. It was a one-on-one service that I would be happy to recommend to anyone that likes to sit back and enjoy the service! She takes her time and works with you so it's not painful at all when she works your cuticles or any of that. Thanks Pauline for taking care of my nails today!

Pauline is so amazing! I have been let down by the $25 manicure so many times and wanted the real deal for my bridal nails. She really takes her time and it's so worth it! My nails have never looked better.

FIVE WEEKS! And the pointer finger didn't start lifting until 2 days ago! She is so thorough, I've never had a manicurist this good.

First of all, I want to say that Pauline is a wonderful person. Yes, she is flexible, thorough, positive, sweet, kind, generous, intelligent... I could go on. But she really is just a supremely caring person. Who else has a manicurist that texts you asking if you made it home safely?! Her genuine people-first approach is hard to find these days. When she reaches out to me, it never has anything to do with making a sale or anything like that, it's usually to make sure I made it home safely or to send me something I asked her to send me! Secondly, she is a phenomenal manicurist. She takes her time to make sure that she understands what you want and that she's getting in front of anything that could cause an issue down the line. She always cleans up my edges of my nails and cuticles prior to putting them in the UV light to cure. The only time I've had gel lift, is because I stupidly used a Magic Eraser without gloves and it messed up 3 of my nails. This was about 2.5-3 weeks into the manicure, by the way, and even then I was able to text her and get her to fix the three nails right away before I left for out of town. I'm about to go to the follow up of that manicure, and I'll attach a picture of how incredible my nails STILL look FIVE weeks later!!! Thirdly, there are a few things you should know to decide if Pauline is right for you. 1. Pauline loves communicating, and she is so good at accepting feedback - so speak up if you have concerns or expectations, trust me she will go out of her way to accommodate you. 2. She is THOROUGH! In your first 2 appointments, expect your appointment to go a bit longer than your average nail appointment. She isn't someone who speaks little English and is just trying to get you in and out the door. Pauline is great for people who enjoy the experience of having a relationship with their manicurist and who value communicating what they want. As she gets to know you and your style, your appointments will go faster (though sometimes we just chat a long time anyway, haha). 3. The last thing you should know is that Pauline works with natural nails and doesn't do enhancements. She does a fabulous job with gel and regular polish. She puts a lot of emphasis on maintaining the integrity of your natural nail and has never drilled or buffed layers of my nails off. In conclusion, I've never had healthier, longer-lasting manicured nails than when I started going to see Pauline. If you value the same things I do in a manicurist, then she's the one for you. I almost don't want her to get too popular because I love the ability of getting in with her last minute ;) but she's just to good to keep to myself. If you go see Pauline, you won't be sorry!

I found Paulene on Yelp and when I saw a perfect score, I tried for an appointment. Luckily she was able to see me within 10 minutes of me calling. I was there for close to 2hrs for a gel manicure, but it was the best experience I've ever had. She delicately took off the gel polish. The person who did my nails last put the polish on thick and it was hard to get off. When Paulene finished with my cuticles I felt like they'd never been cared for before she got a hold to them. I was AMAZED. We picked two colors for the manicure. She gave me a free CND cuticle oil and throughout it all, we had wonderful conversation. In addition, she gives each of her clients their own bag with a file and buffer. So nail health is super important to her. BOOK HER TODAY.

Gelish polish with dusted on sparkles. Paula knows the combination.

I booked marked Phalanges in Yelp. After searching for a manicurist and reading reviews o decided to give it a try. The service Pauline provided was great. I enjoyed every moment of my experience. I will be going back. If you haven't tried Phalanges please check it out. You won't be disappointed.

Ask the Community - Phalanges Manicure Studio

Do you do a pedicure if client has toe fungus?

Hello. I am sorry if this is something your dealing with. Are you under a doctors care, or practicing natural care aggressively? For best practices it’s best not to until you are clear from a infection.

Hello; do you do nail art? I wanted a set with deep french tips and a nail or two on both hands that have a little more pizzaz. Thank you!! 😊

Hi Thank you for reaching out. Do you have a picture of what you want to do?

Where do you get your materials for acrylic nails (the acrylic powder, solution and tips)? Are they from China or from the USA?

Hello Wendy, at my studio I do not use or provide acrylic nails, tips, any solution (polymer or monomer liquid) due to not providing those kind of services.

Best nail salon in Birmingham! I always get my pedicures from here! Ori always takes care of the…read morecustomers amazingly!

Updated: Management…read morereached out to me after seeing my reviews and provided a compromise. We came to an agreement. I am grateful they were responsive and willing to talk and even reconsider some parts of their policy. I am updating my review to reflect this update. 12/12/2025 I used to be a regular at this nail shop and this review does not reflect the nail techs, they are always nice. Unfortunately their lack of flexibility with their cancellation policy, particularly for long standing customers that have had multiple appointments is frustrating. I had to cancel my appointment same day due to an emergency and was immediately directed to the policy and given a cold shoulder when asked about rescheduling. After sending them a follow up message via their very active social media asking if there is anything they can do, my message was read and ignored and I was charged the full fee for my appointment despite their policy noting you COULD BE charged the full amount. You would think there would be a willingness to have a conversation or a professional courtesy to at least respond to a message you read. Given my numerous appointments (at least once every 1-2 months for the last two, maybe three years) and an obvious willingness to reschedule, a conversation could be had. I have referred friends and family here and it is unfortunate that the long standing relationship has to end because of their lack of warmth with customers. I get it, missing an appointment causes missed funds for the techs but if its a first offense or a long standing customer, you should value maintaining that relationship and business over a one time offense.
