I was nervous to come here after receiving a gift card from my husband because of the reviews but this was the best (luxury) manicure and (deluxe) pedicure I've had in a long time! Everyone is so friendly, it's clean and beautiful inside and they got both done in an hour, even though it felt like they really took their time. I've had hundreds of manicures and pedicures over the years and I would've paid double for what I received today. read more

I've been going to this place before they remodeled. They've done a great job with the remodel, but the service has declined! I usually just get a pedi and twice now, the nail techs have managed to cut my toe. I feel like they are rushing, like the more people they work on, the more they get paid kinda thing. One guy tried to hide the cut by squeezing my toe, like why are you doing that? I can feel it! So don't be fooled by the new design, I preferred when they were "smaller" and their nail techs actually took the time and did a good job. read more

So glad I tried out Q nails yesterday! I had an appointment set for today, but called to see if they could fit me in around 5:15, even though they close at 6. I got in a few minutes late, but they still decided to take me and I was supper grateful for that. I had a botched nail job at a different salon and I was recommended here by one of my good friends. I got a gel pedicure and dip powder with tips. They took their time and I didn't feel rushed! The vibe is very chill and they even have a permanent jewelry station upstairs. I might have to check that out next time! I will definitely be rebooking with the same techs next time. Thank you again! read more

Bright, appears clean and easy check in process on tablet. Fun drink offerings too listed on the whiteboard when entering, although I wasn't asked if I wanted one when I sat down. read more

Back again to express my excitement that they now have self-serve margaritas for everyone to enjoy during their appts. I love this place even more now! I come here every two weeks for a dip manicure and every four weeks for a pedicure. Still love it and have no complaints. Appointments can be set online or you can call in and everyone is so friendly. read more

WORST pedicure I've ever received. It took a total of 10 minutes for a regular pedicure. She didn't even scrub my feet, cut my cuticles, and threw the polish on like someone told her to rush. I was extremely disappointed and she told me she would make it up to me by massaging after my polish was on... also no hot towel!!! THE WATER WAS COLD! I also got told not to pay and then they charged me full price. Will never go back! Putting 1 star because I can't do 0! read more

I'm not sure why this place seems to have a lot of negative reviews...maybe they've changed. I've been here twice...once as a walk-in, and I got seated and taken care of right away. Both pedicures were amazing and lasted four weeks. The happy hour ( Mondays and Tuesdays ) $48 price for a gel pedicure is the best I've found in the area considering the length of massage and the gel scrub for just their basic gel pedicure. read more

DO NOT come to this nail salon. My first nail tech was very nice but didn't know how to do the style I wanted then Kim stepped in and ruined my nails!! DO NOT RECOMMEND. She rushed, got polish on my cuticles and skin. She even triple coated the nail polish because she made a mistake with the cat eye design and now my nails are black instead of burgundy. The service should've been 90 minutes max and I was there for three hours. DO NOT RECOMMEND. I eventually asked for my first nail tech to just finish the service and Kim made comments in English and in another language about me. Kim also made a comment to my nail tech, and she started crying. Pretty sure she had the receptionist increase the price when I went to checkout as well. All I know is I will NEVER go back if Kim is still working there. read more

Best nail salon I've been to in Charlotte. It's very clean the employees are nice and it's very relaxing. They truly do a manicure and pedicure, where they exfoliate add lotion and give you a massage. A lot of places in Charlotte do not do that and they charge more. I will definitely be coming back here. read more

DONT go here. my girlfriend went to get her Acrylic taken off and replace it with gel. Kim did not soak and gently scrape off her acrylic like any normal person would, instead, she forcefully ripped it off which is painful and damaging to nails. taking shortcuts at the cost of the customer is never okay. again, DONT go here. read more

Absolutely the worst. First time today. Never again. Instead of correcting the mistakes they added another layer of polish and now my nails are brown instead of burgundy. uneven. Comments were made about my cuticles and my hands. Absolutely assholes. read more

I have gone and received the same gel mani pedi service every month since January. Pretty nice staff and have fixed mistakes in the past with me. But my last pedicure was able to be peeled off my toes in one piece, even leaving behind a green fungus on one of my toes from the uncured layers of polish. My mani peeled off slightly, but not in full pieces like the pedi. I paid $100 for the service. I think a lot of their gel products are very old and they rush the service sometimes. Other times I get fantastic service and long lasting polish. I never have the same technician, I am always seated quickly without an appointment. With consistency, they would be my go to. I'm having to try a new salon after the weird fungus... I had a second instance of potential fungus from their services about 3 months ago. I can't confirm it was from them, but now that it's happened again on another nail, it's very likely. read more

Q Nails - Subtle fungus from rushing the curing process of the gel polish. - Nail Salons Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Q Nails is my favorite nail salon I've been to in Charlotte. I've been several times and have always had a pleasant experience. The nail technicians there are very detail oriented and care about providing a quality service. Everyone I've talked to there has had 10-20+ yrs of experience. They are very efficient yet it never feels rushed. Most recently, Bruce did my nails and he did a great job. He was so conversational and nice, so I had to give him a shout out in a review. Thanks, Bruce and to everyone else at Q Nails! read more

Well I gave them a last minute second chance after my sister's wedding day fiasco. They were super short staffed and did not have enough staff for a group of 9 ladies as soon as they first opened for the day. But they have improved! They have hired more friendly staff that are great nail artists. I came here with my gal for a Mani and Pedi before she got proposed to and the staff did not disappoint. Both of us have gotten great compliments of our great nails! read more

Came in for a pedicure without an appointment and was immediately sitting in a chair. Had a lovely lady work on my feet with a sweet smile! It has been a while since I was here but it seems things have changed! It's bright and clean and the staff is hard at work. Will be back again read more

I am about 5 minutes away from Q Nails and would make the drive even if my commute was longer. I have come about 6 times and every time I have left happy. I now have found my go-to manicurist which is Kathy- she is amazing!! Definitely recommend this salon. read more

Don't come here! Worst experience as a walk in. Poor service, rushed and inattentive to quality of work. Not to mention extremely rude staff. read more

I have tried other salons but Q Nails is by far the best. I have been going for several years despite it not being close to my home. Often, I see the same customers from prior visits. Friends who have also gone enjoyed the experience. The staff is friendly and do an excellent job. The owners (Kim and Tony) are great. The salon is clean and not overwhelming. It can get busy but if you explain any time constraints then they will be mindful or will honestly tell the customer if it is impossible. read more

I love that they are open on Sundays. I was able to walk in this past Sunday around 3 pm for a gel manicure. They did an excellent job with my nails. They removed the existing gel and reapplied a beautiful magenta pink color. She was very meticulous and took her time. I appreciated that they took their time and didn't rush to get you out the door. I love their color selection. They have the shade of pink that I love that my other nail salon does not. It was $30 plus tip for a gel manicure. It was very crowded for a Sunday but I didn't have to wait to get a seat. I will be back! read more

Fantastic manicure & pedicure! Very thorough and detail oriented. They massage your legs much longer than any other place I've been to read more

Visited the salon a week and one day ago for a mani/ pedi. Walked out 1.5 hours later, over 100 bucks poorer and within a week the polish came off 5 of my nails (SNS) and started chipping in my toes (gel) Get my nails done about every 3 weeks for years and my usual place was closed. Thought I'd try here for a new spot. HUGE MISTAKE! read more

I have been coming to this nail salon since 2009, and I must say they are my favorite. This is the only place where I can get a massage while having a pedicure without having to pay extra and them not rushing through it just to get more clientele through the door. They have grown in popularity so now it is recommended to make an appointment online. They are very flexible, and if there is a conflict, they will text you quickly and try to resolve it. Monday and Tuesdays are pretty busy as they do offer a happy hour discount (10% off), so just prepare to wait a little more than usual. There are parking spaces in front of the location and easy to find. The inside is pretty spacious and updated. All the workers are super nice and attentive. They treat you like family. Definitely recommend this nail salon. My nails always come out just how I like them. If, for some reason, you are not satisfied, they are always willing to make things right for you. read more

I would not recommend this nail salon. I rated them by one star, only because I couldn't write this review without selecting at least one star. I made an appointment with Kim at 3pm (SNS and Pedicure. The entire service took over three hours! I did my pedi first, and when the service came close to an end they told Kim I had an appointment with her. Kim visibly looked annoyed as she was working on multiple other people. My pedicure came to an end and the technician left me in the pedicure chair. When I reminded her that I had a nail appointment with Kim, she sat me in a random chair in the corner as Kim continued to work on two other people. Kim acknowledged me and said "no one took off your SNS". At that point I was livid because they could have soaked off my SNS when I was in the pedicure chair. I only stayed because I had other plans and needed my nails done. I've been going here for two years and this WILL be my last time here. My advice to management, don't take appointments if you're going to welcome walk ins and ignore those who scheduled in advance. read more

The staff is incredibly kind and meticulous with their work. I've never felt rushed and I always leave satisfied. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Beautifully revamped salon. The girls are awesome & so much fun! Never had a nail experience quite like this one Kim did my nails and she is METICULOUS and did something fun and new for me while maintaining the shape and clean lines I like. She did a great job so I'll def be going back for more! I met My, Kathy, Minh and Flower as well and I'm sure they did a good job too. Give this place a try! read more

This was my first and will be my last time visiting Q Nails. The lack of professionalism and poor quality of the service was absolutely horrific. The color of the nails appears to be ombré when I asked for off white. None of the nails are the same shape and they are much longer than my preference. When asking the technicians to correct the shape they were laughing amongst themselves about the difference in oval and round. I provided a response to the surgery explaining my dissatisfaction and they said the lack of service was likely due to them being busy. They asked that I call the salon. I called and they said they were busy to call back later, no apology, no nothing. See how hideous my nails look... Hannah L read more

I went to get my brows, upper lip and throat waxed. My eyebrows came out good but my upper lip and throat was outrageously ridiculous. She waxed partial and thought plucking the rest which was unacceptable. I stopped her after I saw that she couldn't wax and left. I strongly recommend you go some place else. read more

I do not recommend this place to anybody ! First they have me sit and wait, as more people are coming in they have them wait as well, but they start working on the other people when i was waiting for over 30 mins, they are racist i was the only person or color in the shop and because i was treated unfairly i got up and left I'm just upset they make me waste my time read more

I have finally found my home!!! I love my nails. They took very care of me. I came in during my lunch break and still left in a awesome time. My nails weren't in the best condition, I did wait too long. But the guy that did my nails did awesome!!! I will be going back, as I said my new nail home. read more

Honestly a very short and unhappy experience. I'm new to the neighborhood and hoped to find a nice mail place. I walked in to check out the place. Upon entering I'm given nasty looks. The host automatically says "we don't do long nails" I said excuse me? I then showed a photo of what I wanted my nails to look like which were short/medium nails(the length of my natural nails) and they said "no that's to long we don't do acrylic". I was confused and I said well what type of nails do you do? They said only dip nails which is NOT TRUE but can be used to complete look like I'm trying to complete. The website shows they do provide acrylic services. They told me to try another nail shop 10 minutes away. It's feels racially motivated but I won't recommend. Maybe it's for people who align with that thinking but not me. Blatantly lying to someone is not at all right. I want to add someone JUST got nearly the same exact style with acrylic and posted a review before me!!! read more

Q nails was recommended to me by a friend for SNS and it is now my favorite in Charlotte. I've been to a couple other places and this place does it best. Even though this location is very small it is always packed and hard to get in. When I get my nails done here it usually lasts me about a month vs 1.5 weeks at other nail salons. In my profession I have to use a lot of hand sanitizer which pulls off nail polish so it's important that I find nail techs that can do my nails without chipping so soon. If you try this place out don't judge it by the looks of the interior and make sure you make an appointment. Highly recommend this nail salon. read more

I've been trusting Q Nails since 2008 and they are my favorite nail salon in Charlotte! Every single person who works there truly cares about doing a great job and making their guests happy! My dip powder is never too thick and doesn't chip like other places I've been too in the past. If you have personal preferences you can ask for modifications regarding polish removal, color mixing and fun nail designs. The pedicures are relaxing and thorough. I love my Q Nails family and am so happy I found them! Pro Tips: Make an appointment. Say thank you! Be patient! TIP your technician who is giving you undivided attention! read more

Great Service and kind, recommended and comfy chairs and the music is great. Recommended to come again

Me and my bestie made an appointment for a deluxe pedi. Her technician literally talked about us the whole service. They didn't clean the pedi bowls properly before replacing the pedi liners. Which is super gross and unsanitary. The implements were questionable because they didn't come out of a sterile bag so not sure when or even if they were cleaned properly and seeing how they handle their pedi bowls you can't be sure unfortunately. I would recommend going to Frenchies Modern Nail Spa instead. They give you a tour of the studio, show you where they clean their implements and never reuse any of their files. I was so disappointed because as a nail technician myself you could see all the shortcuts that were being taken at the expense of your natural nail health. Helen however was amazing which made the experience tolerable. Truthfully wouldn't recommend it overall. read more
