I have been to this location a few times and I want to say good things but unfortunately that's not the case here. You never know which staff member you are going to get because they are so wish washy and do a half job. If you are planning/looking to get pedicures and manicures look elsewhere. Just an opinion definitely not worth it! read more

This place will have you schedule an appointment just to come in and wait. Waited 45 minutes before I finally got up and left. They shouldn't tell you the have availability when they don't read more

I love going here and seeing the amazing family owned salon. Yesterday I had only 1.5hrs to get my nails done before a wedding and they got me right in and took such great care of me. I received the most beautiful and relaxing gel manicure and pedicure done with no compromise on quality. Dan and his wife are so sweet and always treat me like family. Thank you guys for your outstanding service and attention to detail. My nails look so healthy and beautiful now!!! I recommend you to everyone. read more

SO, here we go. I want to preface this by saying this salon seems very popular for their pedicures, as almost everyone who came in after me asked for one. My fiancé and his brothers received pedicures and thoroughly enjoyed them here. Their acrylic nails though, I wouldn't recommend. Me and my fiancé's younger sister walked in with no wait, which was amazing! The seemed to be well staffed which I appreciate. We asked for two acrylic manicures, of course they tried convincing us to get gel, but seemed to listen when we told them no, which I appreciate as well. The man working on my nails started, but didn't push my cuticles back like other salons I've gone to do. Slightly disappointing as I have dry cuticles that i'd like gone. He started working on adding tips to my nails and I proceeded to show him a picture of what I wanted, cool. I left the picture out for him to reference. As he started filing the acrylics down, I asked him to make them more coffin like instead, he told me he's just doing it like the picture I showed him. Okaaay, but that's not what I'm asking for anymore. The way they nails were filed are very uneven and square, which isn't flattering on my hands. (In the picture of the end result, I literally can't stand the way the nails look on my index fingers). He did ask me if I liked them before he added polish. I couldn't really tell the shape and how uneven they were so I said yes, appreciate that he asked though. He did make them thin which is great! Some places make them too thick. For the polish, he switched with a women who seemed to be the manager or owner, she applied the polish every nice and carefully, I appreciate that too. I think the most bothersome thing to me is the price. I payed $40 for a basic acrylic set. That's crazy. I understand that time is money, but I've gotten the exact same thing for $25. I would be happy to pay $40 if my nails were even and straight and what I asked for, but they aren't. I didn't speak up because they provided a service and I didn't want to offend him, I don't like confrontation either. I would go back for a pedicure. read more

The website and in the salon says 30 for acrylic fill. I got my acrylics filled and they look nice. The lady did a good job and was thorough, but charged me 45. Unhappy with the price, I did research all around to find a salon with a decent price and then I was up charged for no reason. read more

I have been to Pretty Nails 3 times. Each time, I have had different Techs and they were all great. My gel nails stay for 3 weeks, maybe longer if I waited. The only bad thing to say is that they do not design nails. I have wanted a design on my accent finger and each time, they have not been able to do it. Even their best nail designer did not do a great job when asked to design. I hate to say I will be trying somewhere new. read more

I went in today for an acrylic fill. They were able to see me right away and also were able to accommodate my special requests. I'm not an average customer and I like my nails to look a certain way. The gentleman who helped me was very nice and he took extra time to make sure my nails were perfect! I'm very pleased and will return on my next visit to Raleigh. read more

I won't be going back. I went there for a full in. They are the sister salon to the one I originally went to. I went to both hoping for glow in the dark dip powder. No luck. I got my refill on Saturday but the following Wednesday 6 (SIX!!!!!!) if my nails had BROKEN! Not chipped flat out broke! I literally opened my car door and 2 broke at the same time. I'm not sure what type of products they used but they were not good ones. I ended up having them removed less than a week after getting them done. NEVER AGAIN! read more

Called around 9:30 to see if i can get a pedicure was told yes no wait only to get here and see that their door says they open at 10 but there's four workers present servicing clients. Tried to open the door and stood there for 12 minutes while the technicians just looked at me . horrible communication and customer service skills read more

They're ok but not perfect. I'll go back next time I have an event or vacation coming up knowing that whatever imperfections they leave behind won't be noticed by anyone but me. read more

First time going and I only wish I lived closer! Best set of nails I've ever had! My tech Shawn was a perfectionist and took pride in his work. He was also very nice and talkative, putting me right at ease. Prices were fair and I love my nails! Thank you Shawn! read more

The nail techs do a good job but the last two times I've made an appointment I've had to wait upwards of 45 minutes. I'm not sure why they schedule appointments if they're going to take walk-ins and then not have coverage. Unfortunately, I will be finding another salon. read more

I used to go here to get my nails done but only the men can do nails here. One of the older ladies did my nails and several fell off. I came back 2 says later and the owners wife fixed them. Today i went in for a repair bc my regular nail take was unavailable and they said they were too busy. They didn't offer a wait time or anything. The lady behind me stayed so I guess they had time for someone spending more money. read more

Took my daughter to get back to school nails. Worst job ever! Had to go the very next day to Lush to get them fixed. One even broke off the first night! Paint job was a mess and the attitude of the owner and staff was despicable! Will not be going back! Save your money and time! read more

I'm visiting from GA and picked this place based on the reviews and pictures. I'm very disappointed by the work that was done. I asked for some on my nails to not be filled and they were, and the application is sloppy. Nothing like the other images. There was polish on the skin around my nails read more

This is my nail spot. Now this is not the get a quick mani pedi on your lunch break kind of place. Sometimes they take a while, but the quality is really great. If you need to have a "get the heck away from me" kind of day, go here. They want to make sure you are relaxed, meaning yes, they will serve you wine at 11am. No judgment here! If you like to talk, you'll get some great conversation as well. I get liquid gel nails and the owner's eldest son is the best at doing them. They normally have a steady stream of customers, but they get to you as fast as they can. read more

Nice job but i made an appointment and still ended up having to wait for it to even start, and then had to wait again in the middle of my appointment. Won't be my home nail salon. Stopping my service to fix someone else and then having me wait even longer is unprofessional read more

Came in for the first time today with an appointment. The man who did my fill in acrylics was super kind.. took his TIME & did amazing! Will be back every 2 weeks. 10/10 recommend. read more

Had a hard day and opted for the $40 pedicure - WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! Probably one of the best most thorough pedicures of my life!

PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!! It took them 2.5 hours to do my nails ,as well as they didn't know how to properly glue on a tip which caused it to LITERALLY fall off as soon as i got home . I went back the next day to get it fixed and they made me pay for their mistake after already paying 53$ plus a tip for their already shitty job. I genuinely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone as these are not qualified workers !! read more

This is probably the worst nail salon experience I have ever had. It hasn't even been two weeks and my nails are breaking off one by one! The foundation was horrible. I also asked for coffin shape and it looks nothing like it. The guy who did my nails also said that he was giving me the nail shape for free...my total would be $45. He said he would ring me up and asked me not to tell the manager or he would get in trouble. When my nails were done, I washed my hands and he pulled a slick move by going to work on someone else's nails so he didn't have to ring me up with the discount. I got rung up by another lady and let her know the price he gave me...he walks up, gets loud and DISAGREES with me! He put on a front and lied so he didn't "get in trouble". I will NEVER come back to this place again. If I could rate this 0 stars, I absolutely would. read more

I live in CA, so I thought I would treat myself to a gel mani while on a business trip to Raleigh. I have to say, I've gotten A LOT of mani's over the years and this was the BEST one I've ever gotten. The staff was so nice and talkative, but not pushy. I WISH I could remember the guy's name... He was so great! I think he usually sits at the first station. Anyway, GREAT JOB and next time I'm in Raleigh I'll definitely come back!!! read more

Pretty Nails - Best gel manicure I've EVER had!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I really want to give this place 5 stars, but I have had mixed experiences here. Yes, I agree with the other Yelper's that the staff is extremely friendly and they are very accommodating. I haven't had a pedicure here, but I've gotten shellac twice and both times the job was sub par. In each instance, the polish lasted a week or less. Even more disappointing is that the polish just popped off. It literally didn't chip or slowly wear off, but just came off in one giant piece. I'm not super hard on my nails and any shellac/gel polish should take some serious acetone to take off. Seriously disappointed. read more

Great experience here. The Pedicure was heavenly, and my feet are SO soft! Everyone was so sweet, and I even messed up my pedicure and went back they fixed it for me :o) LOVE! read more

Quick service but not the most attention to detail plus damaged the skin near my cuticles. Gel mani has held up well.

This place is awesome. Staff was super nice and did a great job. I'm in from out of town and needed a gel mani and pedi. Will absolutely come back. Lisa was great and her brow waxing is top notch. read more

Came in 10mins before closing for a repair and the owner welcomed me with no issues.. she did a good job...will definitely be bk .

I have had a lot of pedicures in my life but this was hands down the best I've ever had. My husband and I both had the diamond pedicure and it was wonderful. We are both on our feet all day everyday so our feet take a beating. I've never had someone take the time to make sure that everything was perfect until today. This will probably be the only place we ever go! read more

This is the first nail salon I've tried since I moved to Raleigh, and had high hopes because of the great reviews. My nails/cuticles were in pretty bad shape and the manicurist did a good job of cleaning them up. However there was polish on the cuticles, tips of my fingers, and on the sides. When this flaked off it took some polish from the nail with it, leaving the edges looking ratty after only 2 days. She spent a lot of time on the massage part of the pedicure, using a scrub, oil, lotion, getting rid of dead skin, etc. but the polish job was the same as the manicure. For $43 this was very disappointing. It was $15 for the manicure, $28 for the pedicure. Coming from NJ where most salons offer the same service for $10/$20 respectively, this was very expensive to me. The salon was clean, the staff was very friendly, the magazines were current, and I was offered something to drink when I arrived. There is plenty of parking available. The salon was packed with 'regulars' (judging by their conversations with the manicurists and each other) so maybe I just had an 'off' experience. read more

Traveled extensively all over the US and Caribean and had manicures and pedicures in the best and most expensive hotels. None compare to the quality and value of Pretty Nails. Absolutely the best! fmp read more

This is my favorite spot for manis and pedis. It's clean, the prices are very competitive, and the staff always does an excellent job! And hey, when you're done, you can walk next door and get fro-yo. Added bonus! read more

I have been going here on a regular basis for several months when I first moved to Raleigh. The ONLY place I trust with my eyebrows first and foremost, and that still remains true to this day. However, I was appalled when the nail techs did not charge me correctly, after I told them I was paying for my mom and I to get our nails done from the beginning, and the male owner came from the back room practically screaming at me as he accused me of trying to walk out on my bill and threatened to call the cops. I will NEVER step foot in this establishment again and will not ever recommend them. Terrible customer service. read more

I came for a pedicure and manicure. I requested the deluxe pedicure which includes callous removal and a gel manicure. Pros: I appreciate the fact that they use disposable liners at the pedicure stations, the establishment is nice and clean, and they offer complimentary drinks. My gel manicure turned out how I would expect it to. Cons: The tech that did my pedicure did a half-a** job. She used an emery board (usually used for filing nails) to attempt to remove the dry skin on my feet - Needlessness to say, I still have dry peeling skin on my feet even after paying for an upgraded pedicure service. The nail polish on my toes is uneven and raised in some areas. While the tech was placing my sandals on my feet, she bent one of my toes which stained my sandals with polish and when she re-polished the toe she messed up, she didn't apply the base coat again nor did she do two coats of polish like she did on my other toenails. Maybe my tech was just having an off day but her poor technique will prevent me from coming back. read more
