My visit here yesterday was my third time trying this place and, based on that experience, probably my last time there. Upside of the place is that it is very clean, bright lighting and seems to be kept up very well. But it's just the quality and inconsistency of service that doesn't work for me. The first time I got a gel manicure and the spa pedicure; second time was a special pedicure again and dip french mani; and this last time was dip removal and regular manicure. The first time was a pretty good experience - did both services at the same time, quick ans efficient but still generally satisfied with the work. The second time started off well also with my pedicure and the dip french mani came out well. My only complaint on that visit was a few nails had polish on the skin around the nail and got a little cut on one nail from when they were doing/cleaning my cuticles. Haven't really had that happen in a long time and knew it was a mistake, so I brushed it off that time since it wasn't that bad and was only one - mistakes happen. But during the visit yesterday, I ended up with a few cuts to different nails in the cuticle areas when the tech was "cleaning up"/doing my cuticles - at least two of the areas were bleeding a bit - so I can't chance that again. I was hoping this could be one of my backup nail salons, but I'll pass on this place now. read more

I've been coming here for pedicures for years and never wrote a review. What a great place; clean, welcoming and professional salon. Gloria is excellent. She never rushes your service regardless of how crowded it is. It's a wonderful place to relax after work, running errands or preparing for a vacation. The only thing I would change is the lighting. I'm not a fan of bright lights in a salon. read more

I would not return. I made an appointment for 1pm. It was fine, they started relatively close to the time. Pedicure was just ok -- the polish was VERY uneven and didn't even go all the way to my cuticle as you can see in the picture. The polished chipped on my big toe not even 24 hours after my visit. My manicure was equally disappointing. I got a gel French manicure. The polish also chipped less than 24 hours post service. I went back the next day to have them fixed. The gentleman at the front desk was lovely, the women doing my nails were not. They should be very careful about what they say about people in Spanish, you never know who can understand you (among many things, they said my fingers were dirty and that I complained too much). They fixed both my finger and my toe but as I got home another 2 fingers chipped!!! I was not going all the way back there again, especially since I JUST LEFT no more than 20 minutes earlier. On the day of my actual appointment, the ladies were so confused about who even to give service to that I was waiting almost 10 minutes post-pedicure for someone to come over to start my manicure. I thought they were just having a rough day at first but when I came back the next day, it was very clear that this is a regular practice. Disappointed. Now looking for another salon to go to in Ardmore. UPDATE: as of 6:20p the day after my appointment, I now have a WHOLE HAND chipped, and it's supposed to be gel!!! An absolute waste of $80. read more

I came in for a French manicure today, but it was clear that the "professional" assigned to work with me had never given a French manicure in her life. When I mentioned this to the manager at the end of my experience, she said "that's why I am here -- so we can change it." But that's not why I am here -- I get my nails done professionally because I don't want to waste my time doing it myself. And I do t care to spend 2X as long at the nail place because you don't take the time to train or manage your staff correctly. read more

LOVE princess nails. I have been coming here regularly for the past two years. I have visited/been a regular at several nail salons on the mainline. Princess is comparable in price yet has consistently had the longest lasting dip manicure. Every dip manicure has lasted over 3 weeks and with no chipping. I only need to return when I'm ready for a new color/my nails grow out. Their regular pedicure is relaxing (not rushed) and includes a great foot massage. However, their spa pedicure is incredible and worth the splurge!!! I was here last week with my mom and sisters before my wedding weekend. The manager was so accommodating and encouraged us to stop in for touch ups if any of our nails chipped over the weekend. All of our dip/gel and pedicures are still intact two weeks later! Truly wonderful service and customer care. Highly recommend ! read more

This salon is filled with friendly and professional technicians. It may cost more than other salons but you receive so much more services. I always look forward to my pedicure and manicure. The owner is a real gem. read more

The BEST nail salon in the area. I come regularly for dip nails & regular pedicure and will not go anywhere else. The prices are excellent & Nicole does dip manicure the best of anyone I've ever gone to. I recently started requesting Maria for pedicures - she is extremely thorough and gives an amazing massage. Highly recommend Princess and those two employees in particular! The manager/owner is always friendly, curious, and prompt. I should have left this review sooner, truly love coming here! read more

Excellent Gel manicures. Their pedicures blogger hot stones and hot towel service. Everyone who works here is so nice, and they are patient as I take too long choosing a color! I highly recommend Princess Nails. read more

Came here yesterday with my 10 year old daughter..i received a refill and pedicure with gel and she got a basic manicure and pedicure..Was charged 180.00..After I paid (upfront ) I felt taken advantage of..I asked the manager , who was extremely stoic and unfriendly how much he charged for my daughters nails..I guess he thought about it and gave me 10 dollars back..The service itself felt rushed and four different people worked on our nails which I found unnecessary..the nail tech that was doing my pedicure was complaining in Spanish the whole time about having to remove the previous gel polish..Little did she know I'm fluent in three different languages and understood everything she was saying ..I tipped each one 5 dollars, which by their reaction wasn't enough..so a total of 190.00 I spent for mediocre service and rude nail techs..Won't be back..DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Really disappointing visit this time. Aside from the fact that my gel mani is chipped after only FOUR days!!!...I wasn't told that there was an up charge to remove dips to go to gel!! An extra $15. Funny thing is that I only had 5 fingers left with dip so shouldn't I have only been charged an extra $7.50?? Also, the technician didn't tell me about the charge until we started despite my having pre-paid for my gel. Better service would have been either to ask my what was on my nails or tell me the protocol for next time. So now I paid $50 + tip for a really bad experience and manicure. read more

Super disappointed. After a good experience right before Covid hit the fan, I scheduled to go back for powder dip nails and a spa pedicure. They called to confirm approximately two hours before the appointment, which suggested to me that they were ready for me. When I arrived, they said there was no one to give me the power dip nails and pedicure at the same time, and that it would take at least two hours to get both services in succession. This has never occurred at another salon, and had I have known this was the case, I would never have scheduled the appointment. Sadly, never going back, horrible customer service but par for the course from what I have experienced around here. Shame on you, Princess Nails, for not being more transparent. read more

I really like my spa pedicure. They are very friendly and I love how clean they are. Recommend

Not worth the price. The service is rushed, the technician was rude it is way over priced. They ask you to pay first which leaves room for them to do crappy work, which they do. read more

I had a little issue with a gel overlay fill initially. When the owner Chan was made aware of my issue he contacted me immediately and within an hour had me back in his salon and immediately corrected the issue. I am so please with the results!!! Amazing customer service!!! I will definitely be back!!! Thank you so very much Chan!!! Updated photo on the amazing job Princess Nails did on my gel overlay fill. I'm in love with the way the look. Thank you again read more

Do not go or do business with this place. my wife had an appointment setup that she canceled but per the owner canceling is the same as a no-show to him and he charged my wife 75% of the bill. no services were rendered at all. this guy doesn't know how to do business and id advise you stay away from going here. read more

I used to LOVE Princess Nails for a spa pedicure BUT I am tired of them trying the bait and switch on me with nail techs. If I made an appt with someone specific that's who I expect to have do my pedicure. Twice now they tried giving me a different person. So then today I had to wait a half hour for my person. She hot stoned ONE leg (guess she forgot I have 2?) and at that point I was so disgusted I didn't even tell her. No shoulder massage offered today-that's a first. Woman in charge was MISERABLE and UNPROFESSIONAL! Sadly I will not go back. Peace out Princess Nails. read more

This place is wonderful! I've been coming for over 2 years and have never left disappointed. Danny the owner is a great guy and his staff is always happy to treat you. Pedicures are top notch... scrub, great massage, hot stones & warm towel! &&& got all their amenities their pricing is right in line with the area. You will not be disappointed here!!!! read more

Extremely disappointing. I have been a patron of Princess nails for over five years. Although prices have increased, decline in services offered, and a few occasions where I have been treated very dismissively and not as fairly or with as much precedent as other customers, I continued to support the business for my specific nail tech that I ALWAYS make appointments with. The final straw was when I made an appointment and expressed I will be traveling quite some distance to attend my appointment, The owner find my nail tech for the gentleman who walked in next to me, and told me I could "soak and wait" for her or he could assign me someone else. I asked him why he couldn't assign another person to him because I had a confirmed appointment with her and he did not. He just said " sorry, he comes first". I was refunded my money and unfortunately will never patronize them again. Instead I will show my loyalty and spend my money with a business that values its loyal customers. read more

This place gives a mediocre at best pedicure. Didn't remove any of my calluses. My toe nails are so crooked. And paint remains on and around my toes. I could've done this myself and had a better result For $28. Very rushed. Definitely better places on the main line read more

This is a very clean business. The staff are very friendly. I got my eyebrows and nails done. The prices were very reasonable for the great service that I got. read more

One of the best pedicure massages I've had. And she did a great job with the nail shape and polish. I don't think I'll return though. The woman that did my UV gel nails was awful. She tried to blame me for not explaining what I wanted, but I did, her English was very poor. I thought she was brand new based on her skill level but has apparently been there over 8 years. Also, it's really overpriced! read more

The best pedicure I've ever gotten and I am a real Nee York girl. Over ten minutes massage for my feet on a regular pedicure. Hot stones and towels and just the length of time and attention given was incredible. Very clean place. Individual "kits" for every nail woman and wrapped tools fresh for you. Liners in the pedicure "basins". I want to come here every time I go to PA ! read more

I took my daughter (almost 6 years old) for a pedicure before vacation. They were fantastic with her - talked to her, didn't get annoyed if she accidentally moved her foot, just overall very kind. The woman even painted a flower on her big toe. My pedicure was also great for the price. Everyone we encountered here was extremely friendly. Additionally, in most nail salons the personnel chat with each other the entire time (often in another language) - here there was none of that so I never felt like I was getting talked about / snickered at. Overall great experience and definitely recommend! read more

they were so nice! didn't have an appt and they got us in,, can not emphasize enough how nice they were and the nails look amazing ,, highly recommend read more

For $39 I got a mani-pedi that included a hot stone massage on my legs and a very relaxing massage on my arms and hands. This place is very clean and they really do have all the latest polishes for Essie and Opi. The technicians were friendly. I do like the idea of their frequent customer card, you can get 1 free manicure after 20 visits. Also while I was drying my nails I received a complimentary back massage. This place is the best. read more

I get all jumpy and nervous before flying, and wanted to do something to relax in the morning before my flight back to Seattle. My manicure at Princess was so relaxing that I nearly fell asleep to the sweet strains of elevator music. The decor is more chic than your average salon, and they offer a full menu of services, from manicures and pedicures to waxing and massage. Note that it's cash only if your bill is under $25. The $14 manicure actually includes a mini massage while you wait for your nails to dry! Now that's a happy ending. read more

I had the worst experience at this nail salon. The owner was rude and had no customer service skills. I would definitely not recommend this salon. All this owner cares about is money, he does not care about his customers. This is an extremely poor quality salon. read more

This place is great! It is clean, friendly and such a relaxing experience. I went in for a pedicure ($25). It included foot and calf massage with and without hot stones. I didn't think to wear flip flops (silly me), but it didn't matter, because they keep brand new flip flops in a drawer for customers like me. You get offered a complimentary neck and shoulder massage while your toes or fingers dry, too. This was really a great experience for a great price! read more

Very solid experience here. Quick and efficient mani/pedi on a work lunch break always helps the day go by pleasantly. They were able to do the pedicure and nail file/paint on my fingernails at the same time. It's also a very spacious and open salon which is nice because you don't get the stinky toxic smell (you remember that time you COULD HAVE fainted). It's fresh in here. The highlight is the end while you are under the dryer. A young guy, who must be a staffed masseuse, gives you at least a 5 min. neck and back rub. Hello! Leaves you feeling great. read more

Value is EXCELLENT as this average-priced salon. Prices are comprable to other salons in the area. The setting is very peaceful, as the nail technicians do not speak at all when they are working on you. Spa pedicure is complete with hot stone massage, warm towels, foot rub and nail painting. They use OPI products mostly, and I have not tried it, but they do have an "organic" manicure/pedicure option. Once you are finished, go sit and let your nails dry and you will have a 5-minute massage on your back and upper arms that is free - tipping is recommended - and wonderful. Overall, a great value and the management is wonderful. read more

First time here and I was a little caught off guard when I was asked to pay before service. I was a little hesitant but it was worth the $28.00 dollars. The women who did my pedicure was really nice and took her time. If ever close by again I will defiantly be making it my business to run in for a pedicure. read more

At first I found the prices a bit high (I had a french mani/pedi for $62). Upon leaving, I felt so pampered and relaxed that the price was no longer an issue. My manicure and pedicure were done simultaneously, which forced me to forgo reading for class while in the pedi chair and definitely helped me relax. I felt so pampered! The added of bonus of arm/hand and leg/foot massages was great, but the hot stone leg massage was the icing on the cake. Or so I thought! While drying, I was given a neck and shoulder massage that was the perfect end. This salon is really clean, spacious, and the ambiance is understated and soothing. It was a welcome change from most Center City area McNail Salons. I'll definitely return! read more

It is entirely possible that I am over-rating this salon, given that the polish application was slightly imperfect and I would have liked more thorough exfoliation. (I think the devices that work best for me may have been banned, because I never see them anymore.) Still, the amount of massage you get here for a $28 pedicure is outstanding. I saw John, and the foot and calf massage he provided were fantastic. Nearly as good (and much more unusual) was the upper back and neck massage provided by another employee during drying. I should also add that the ambiance is nice. It's not one of those places with the local news playing on a big screen TV. There was just a little soft music, and, as another reviewer said, the salon is spacious. read more

I always have a terrific experience at Princess Nails. Everyone it's so friendly; the salon is clean and inviting, the chairs are super comfortable...which have massage options. . I happened to go today...a Monday; it was more quite than with the usual weekenders...soothing music in the background it was an enjoyable and relaxing pedicure. I love the massages...both hand and hot stone messages for lower legs and feet....and the mini neck and shoulder massage at the end, while drying...is tops! read more

I keep going back, and I'm more than disappointed each time. However, my latest experience was horrific. I walked in more than 40 minutes before closing and politely asked if they had time for a manicure. They said absolutely. This is where the good part ends. The tools don't appear to be sanitized, the woman did a piss poor job of shaping my nails and I felt like she was TWEEZING off my cuticles. They looked so rough I asked her (politely) to fix them. The polish job was also AWFUL. At this point I was so frustrated, I just wanted to dry my nails and leave. at this point it was more than 15 minutes until their advertised closing time. The entire staff packed up, put on their jackets and stood around and STARED at me, as if I was inconveniencing them. If you want to close early, you should have said no to my request for a walk in appointment in the first place! I was so uncomfortable, I left without fulling drying my nails. I will never again go to Princess. Shame on me for making the mistake again and again. Don't be fooled by appearances. For a better value (they are also very expensive!) go to one of the other good nail salons in the area. read more

Came here at the last minute needing a manicure for an event later that evening. The salon looks pretty basic, but still nice and clean. I didn't have an appointment but did not have to wait on a Saturday afternoon. I just got the basic manicure. I went to pick out my polish and they have a great selection of colors with a lot of the popular brands like Essie. I ended up picking a red shimmery color. The manicurist did a very good job and it did not feel rushed. It was only $14 which I thought was very reasonable. While you're waiting for your nails to dry they offer you a complimentary massage(just don't forget to tip the guy if you do it). He did a wonderful job and it felt amazing. I would definitely come back again. read more

This was absolutely the worst experience ever. Needless to say I will never return. I came in for a mani and pedi and my daughter just a pedi. I don't like the fact that they charge you before you even get started. I never got my pedi they said oh he didn't charge you for one. So I paid $100 for a mani and pedi. NEVER AGAIN!! And not a even a week later my gel polish is cracked, completely peeled off two nails and the color has faded. Would not recommend to anyone. read more
