I had a great pedicure here, very nicely done and reasonably priced at $28 for basic. The place was pretty empty at 5:30pm on a Thursday night, which is great for walk-ins. Very clean, good variety nail polish colors, some technicians even speak good English! I will definitely be back to get my nails done! read more

QD Nails & Spa - I'm going to ask to sit in one of these next time - Nail Salons Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Avoid this place. The salon was empty on a Friday afternoon. Now I know why. They do not use quality nail polish for regular manicures. Going to a wedding- One nail chipped less than 24 hours later. By the end of the night, it was 5 nails. And the chipping continued until every nail was a mess with chips within 48 hours. I tried to remove the polish and it will not come off with regular nail polish remover. read more

Ok- so I have mixed emotions. Tell me what u think, ya'll. When I got there one person was getting a service and she called someone from the back to help me out. (My first time here). A few minutes later a nice gentleman appeared and offered me something to drink and started taking g off my old gel polish. I thought he walked to get my new color choice, but he disappeared outside for a few minutes. Then he came in and got busy. He made some small talk, but kept looking to the side every few seconds as he kept working on my nails. I followed his gaze and realized he was looking at his phone that was propped up. So of course now I want to see too. So I scoot forward a little and see he is watching an international tv show at the same time he is doing my nails- and he is really into it. His communication did slow down but he still did a great job. So I don't know how to feel about that part. Next, i could be off, but I swore an overlay on my real nails ( no manicure or cut down) would be around $35-$45. I even looked up some local spots pricing before I arrived. ( this wasn't on my list of places - I'm just visiting the area) but I saw there photos and they were decent ... but no prices listed) so I was surprised when they asked for $55! Maybe it was like $40 for nails and $15 for polish removal? What u think? I think he added his own tip for sure. read more

they switched management and it's horrible, they have a student who don't know what she's doing and when you ask for some one else they say appointments only . I arrived at 1:30 and still haven't gotten anything done , the young lady left and the other one who tried to help but couldn't do much had a customer mean while the other one just got done his customer and never came to help or anything, they spoke they language and he got on his phone and started to ignore the fact they had another customer who been there since 1:30 . Never will i recommend this place and i been coming for 2 years read more

Technician watched videos on her phone and listened to her earbuds the entire manicure & pedicure. The manager too stayed on his phone on either a personal call or texting with a customer in his chair. The quality of service was very poor and less than I could have done for myself. read more

I've gone to this nail salon twice now and both times they closed the shop down early. Their door says they close at 7:30 pm, you call and they tell you they close at 7 pm. You arrive and they are closing down by 6:30. Attaching a picture of the nail salon at 6:30 pm. read more

I decided to blow off my afternoon at work one day in search for a nail salon in my area. I just relocated to the area so I was pleasantly surprised to find a salon literally down the street from me. The took me right away, it was midweek. Nina did my gel pedicure and I got a regular no frills manicure. It's been almost two weeks, my pedicure still looks fresh and my manicure is just now needing a little filing. She did a good job. If I get the same experience when I go next, I'll give them the other star. read more

I scheduled a last minute appointment. The squeezed me in and looked at a picture I wanted my nails similar to but with nail art. Kyle freestyle it and it came out perfect. He checked in along the way to make sure the length and shape and art was to my liking. I am a new customer but now I'm definitely a returning customer read more

I got my nails done here yesterday. Overall I enjoyed my service but I witnessed the manager (a small asian woman sits in the front) being rude to an employee. It started with a client being weird to the nail tech and she stood up for herself, then the manager started yelling at the tech. In my opinion the client was in the wrong, and talking to down to the nail tech and was not listening. Just giving her a hard time. From what I saw the nail tech was not of the same ethic group as the manager or other techs. I feel like in 2025, we as people should go where we are appreciated. No one else spoke up for her, but they did talk about her when she left, in front of me and other clients. Like they were making fun of her.. Also, I heard the manager say something like "because of the dark girl they don't have clients" WOW! Me as a "dark girl" client that made me super uncomfortable. Honestly I hope the tech sees this because there are places that will accept you, without having to deal with micro-aggressions or biased racism. I did see her in the parking lot, and told her I wish I would have said something inside, because what I saw was wrong and she shouldn't have to deal with that from those people. They don't respect us as people and I probably will not come back. read more

I had a good experience prior to this one and was ready to make this my nail spot moving forward. My experience today was the complete opposite. I went for a simple gel manicure. The gel was patchy/streaky and uneven. When asked to correct it, the nail tech's solution was to add a fourth coat which would have only made it thick and clumpy. I asked him to just remove the polish & this is what I was left with. I was overcharged and underwhelmed by the service. I would go back to show him how terrible this looks but they're closed now- I'm that irritated with this experience. I am disappointed because I had high hopes for this place. Unless you have an appointment with a nail tech you trust, I wouldn't recommend. This is not a place for walk-ins or making blind appointments. read more

Whenever I am in town visiting family, I come see Kevin its a non-negotiable. He has truly mastered his art and will leave me with a perfect manicure each and every time. His talent is unreal! The best part is he's super efficient and you'll be in and out in no time. He's friendly and has a good connection with his customers. Definitely not overpriced either. read more

Beware of the neck wrap!!! I got SEVERELY burned on my shoulder because the pillow was TOO HOT. So hot my skin blistered within three hours of leaving the nail shop. Next day woke up to an even bigger blister and some scaring. Beware of the HOT neck pillow. Overall decent/okay service, pedicures are okay. Phil is good with nails, the only thing I don't like is the nails once done are really rocky and not smooth. I get SNS so I don't understand the purpose of the drill if the nails come out rocky with ridges in them. Starting to think I may have to become the own nail technician, paying $95-$105 bi weekly and not having kick ass nails is not cool. UPDATE: I went in yesterday to show the manager the burn on my shoulder, his response......your skin in probably too sensitive. Next time you come I can offer you 10% off of one service. I hope you feel better. I would have expected something along the lines of sorry the neck pillow was too hot. My skin being sensitive isn't the issue here. The issue is the temperature of the pillow!!! My skin will be permanently scared from this which is something 10% off one service will not fix. read more

I went in on Sunday to have my nails done but didn't tell Kevin what I wanted. I normally just tell the technician to surprise me when I don't have any events going on. He did such an amazing job that I think it'll be so worth the drive for me every two weeks. He's super fast too so that's another plus. He has an Instagram page. Everyone can check him out before making the appointment @kevin_ho_nails read more

If I could give this place 0 stars then I would. Went in for pedicure and SNS yesterday. One technician did my pedicure and a different person did my nails. Great experience with the pedi, but my nails were awful! When I expressed my dissatisfaction, the technician told me that 'this is how they're supposed to look.' I paid, but when i got to the car, I couldn't live with the fact that I actually paid for something I truly disliked. I went back into the salon, and someone else offered to fix it, but I had already been there for two hours and needed to get my kids. I asked for a refund, but they insisted that they would need to remove the sns in order to give me my money back. I returned today, had the nails removed, which took another 20 minutes. The salon manager didn't seem to understand that I had already given my time and refused to fix it AND refund me for the inconvenience. They were so nasty!!! I cannot believe the level of customer service I received today. I work extremely hard for my money, and with new babies, my time is so valuable. I barely made the time to get away to get my nails done, but it was totally wasted. While I was there, another woman walked in complaining about her nails, and the woman who did her nails was also the one who did mine. I should have known then I'd be disappointed! Never go there! read more

I walked in on a Saturday they were kinda slow. They said it would be a few minutes and to pick a polish. All their polishes were half used and not organized. After 20 min of waiting I waked out. They can't maintain the upkeep of supplying their nail polishes, what else arent they maintaining? Hard pass. After being desperate and needing a mani I gave them a second chance. Kevin is life changing. He does the best s&s nails. read more

QD Nails is a high quality, yet affordable nail spa. I have had spa pedicure, gel nails, and SNS/Dip Powder services done here. Each technician is attentive, friendly, and talented. They take pride in doing great work. Never sloppy. I never feel rushed. They offer refreshments while you are being serviced. Their prices are very competitive with great quality service. I highly recommend. read more

So my sister introduced me to this place after I had a horrific experience else where. My sister suggested to make an appointment with Kevin. My first visit with Kevin was wonderful! He was very nice and my nails were the best quality I've ever had!! He listened to me throughout the visit and my nails were amazing!! The nails lasted me 3-4 weeks! I went in and got another set of SNS but it chipped due and Kevin fixed it up no problem!!! Even with the problem, I was so impressed on how they handled it. If you want quality nails visit Kevin, lyn or Phillip! My sister gets her nails done by lyn. I have heard/ experience nothing but the best of these three!!!!! I highly recommend them!! read more

Very bad experience getting a set of acrylics off. To start, the nail tech took a new fake tip and started to pry off my existing tips - very uncomfortable and damaged the nail underneath! I had to ask for him to get acetone to soften up the acrylic and take it off correctly. Even so he didn't get all the acrylic off but I was so done with the experience I didn't ask him to continue working on it. Do not recommend. read more

All the women in this salon that do nails and eyebrows can't do nails and eyebrows at all. RUN AWAY!!!! Don't waste your time coming here. Only guys can do nails at this place. Please provide training to your employee. They are very unprofessional and rude. If you express your concern, they will refuse to do your nails or etc. Accept complain and try to better your service whether then taking it personal. The owner is rude!!! read more

Ok where do I start, I came in for a manicure and added pedicure, she did the pedicure first and I was highly disappointed she did my pedicure in 15 minutes tops like she was in a rush to get to the next person, but it was only 2 customers in the nail salon, it was cold and rainy outside.. The customer service here sucks. read more

I love this nail salon! my girl Olivia at work told me about this place. Great price for a basic pedicure($28), and amazing attention to detail when they do my talons. They take their time, and make sure it looks how YOU want it. I've gone to other salons that refused to give me stiletto nails....get with the times, North Carolina! They also have a large selection of polish, and they have gel/regular polish that matches. I like this, because I get gel nails and regular polish on the toes. read more

Kevin here is amazing!! Best quality work near apex or cary by far and for a good price!

I love the attention to detail they have for eyebrow waxing. Lying down is always a plus. They use wax, tweezers and scissors if needed. I go on my lunch break and they take me right back. read more

Amazing experience .. I was visiting the area from out of state and really need my nail don with a pedicure. The prices were a little high to me compare to New York and Charlotte prices but they were open near my hotel. They were very kind but did charge for every little change you will do for your nails such as file now, oval shape and other changes. read more

Amy is one rude woman. She has been rude twice. The first time was when I asked for a second clear coat and she said no. And the second time I asked her to shape my nail similar to my thumb on my other hand and she got up and stormed off and threw a hissy fit in front of everyone. This shocked me and was so unprofessional. I've never seen such behavior in a customer service atmosphere ever. read more

Amazing work every time. Kevin is the best and always delivers beautiful, dramatic nails

This was my first time here. I got white gel polish and the job looks like I did it myself. The surface of the polish is uneven and she didn't even clean the polish off my cuticle. Not worth 48$ and will never come here again. read more
