    Nail dip day two

    Had deluxe pedicure and manicure pre Mother's Day. First off no clear understanding of what you're buying with deluxe . First tall guy does feet. Makes excuses a for bad paint job says nails too short- what does that have to do with putting polish up on my nail bed? Next manicure doesn't even get your hands soaked and massage. Just dry nail dip. Tall lady does this sloppy job and nail popped off the next day. Paid 95 plus 10 tip. Go back and the owner- Brian does fix it as he should . I really dislike how they switch from English to Asian language when they want to talk about people. So rude! I would probably only let the owner do it from now on if I go back at all. Apparently most shops in town are like this.

    Let me start by saying I am VERY picky about my nails. I've been getting gel for about 6 years and will follow a tech around unless they just move too far away. I have a regular guy I go to in Columbia, but I wanted to try SNS here and he doesn't do that. The appeal is that SNS doesn't use the UV light, and they are supposed to be stronger than gel and last longer. I followed the recommendations on yelp to try to find my next Columbia tech. I just had SNS done for the third time ever. The first time was in my old neighborhood in Nyc and it was AWFUL! They popped off in one week. The second time I had them done by my friends guy in Charleston, and they were so perfect they made me "cheat" on my regular nail guy to try to do it again. They were strong, natural looking, and lasted for 3.5 weeks before I had my first chip. I'm also pretty hard on my nails, so this is really great. The third time was here. They really do look very nice at first glance, but I'm afraid they are just too thick and the gel top coat is bleeding into my cuticles which drives me nuts. He did use the light for a gel top coat, which doesn't completely defeat the purpose, but it is a negative for me personally. I'm going to have them removed within the week. I'm disappointed, but I must say that I have very high standards. I would like to say that the pedicure is beautiful and he did spend time massaging my legs, and it felt amazing. He also used the scrub and not the razor, which is far better for your feet. It was really nice. My goal in posting this is just to provide very clear and accurate insight into what to expect and what to look for if you happen to be as particular as I am, or even if you're not. This probably won't be my new go-to place, but I may be willing to give it a try again. 4 stars. ' ---------------- I'd like to update that while I still think the nail was a bit too thick especially around the edges, and the gel top coat is still peeling a bit, I did leave them on and they have lasted now 29 days without chipping or popping off. I'm impressed and pleased. I am updating my review to 5 stars from 4, because I think while there is room for improvement, I do believe he did a great job overall. The service was also quick and they were very nice.

    While every nail tech I've ever had at this place has been nothing but kind and professional, I have to say the quality has gone downhill. I used to be a regular customer at Pure Nails. For context, I got a gel manicure and a regular pedicure every month for at least a year prior to the pandemic. I went in yesterday for my usual after a long time. I felt like by the time we got to the manicure, my tech was just trying to get me out the door. The polish on my fingernails is uneven, the filing looks misshapen (I asked for almond), and the tech missed several spots on the side. I know I should have said something sooner but it's not just the quality of the nails alone that I'm unhappy with. The quality of the service has gone downhill significantly.

    Tye does such a great job, I only have to get my nails done every 3-4 weeks. (I get dip) Him and his wife are very friendly. You can tell they love what they do. The salon is always lively and vibrant. It's best to have an appointment. For dip and pedicure it normally takes about 2 hrs as they are normally busy.

    Love the layout!

    Kelly is one of the best nail technicians in Columbia and her salon is awesome and reasonable!! Check out the other salons in Columbia I have been to and you will experience the same. What I love is how super new the facilities are and how hygienic it is! Try them out and you will be a loyal customer like me.

    Got a gel manicure and gel pedicure.  I got this done on a Friday and today is Sunday! And they already chipped like this.

    Called the place yesterday told them about my nails and they said "ok we will do them over for you again for free". Get there today and they did a new gel manicure. Lady after tell me "it's $30 dollars". I said no this is free. I called yesterday and told the guy that i just got them done last week and they started peeling off day 2! They kept questioning me and then rushed me out the door and say "ok,ok, you're good". I will never come back to get my nails done here.

    Went in for a fill in walked out with this amazing job. Once again not disappointed

    I have been to this location twice. I was super stressed out after a long week at work. Walked in and was greeted right away. My spa pedicure was beyond amazing and my gel full set lasted more than a month with not even a scratch. The staff is super duper attentive to you and what you want and how you feel. No matter you age you are treated like a queen/king at Pure Nails. Super relaxing environment and pleasant music. If you make one stop for pampering stop here.

    Awful experience. Will not be returning. Evil, horrible male nail tech. Crap. My hands and nails are in pain from what he did.

    Sine they are under new ownership, the shop is always opening late! They do good work. New owners need to tighten up!

    First time guest! Delightful experience…read more Incredible, mind blowing massage paired with an luxurious facial. Wow was I impressed. Columbia does not have many noteworthy spa locations so my fingers and toes were crossed for OCCO and they did not disappoint. All the staff I interacted with was really lovely. I had a less than 10 minute wait time for my services and the teams hand walked me between professional which was really lovely. They even carried my stuff, just that golden touch! I went on a Monday night, during the time of Covid. Highly recommend. Fantastic service and zero wait time. Both massage therapist and cosmetologist were not talkative and I was actually able to relax. Lovely little waiting room with treats and drinks. It was winter but it looks like they are mindful and provided lots of seasonal items as well. The pedicure/manicure area also looked lovely, even though I did not use this service. I would come back for it though. They have a card on file and it makes it so much easier at check out when all you want to do is relax and not have to dig in your purse. The only thing better would be if they would let you pay first before the service so you could just float out the front door. It really was a great time and I am a spa snob. I was just so thankful to have found this place. I'll be back, OCCO!

    This week was hard in the world and hard at work and my nails were showin it so I decided to treat…read moremyself to a mani pedi. OCCO had great Yelp reviews and cool photos so I made an appointment there. What a total glam experience! Enjoyed a nice glass of Pinot Grigio in a relaxing setting while hanging out with fun, cool nail artist Malika. She did amazing work too, perfectly rounded nails displaying a vibrant color. Will definitely be back!
