I recently moved to northern libs from center city. The first few months I traveled into center city to get my nails done but yesterday I decided I was over it. I read a million reviews about a ton of places in walking distance and on a lark gave this salon a try (the fact that one of the comments said they had a cat sealed the deal). I honestly could not be happier!!! Everyone has had a bad manicure so I went in skeptical. I'm a creature of habit and I know my old salon is amazing but the ability to walk and not fight traffic was clutch. Anyway this place is phenomenal. They take their time, they are so nice, Lemon (the cat) is absolutely precious. My nails look stunning!! I've received so many compliments today!! I got the powder dip and seriously my nails are flawless. I could not be happier and I'm thrilled to have a new salon to become a regular

I will be recommending Lacquer Lounge to anyone who is looking for reliable and quality service before a special event.

It was very relaxing, came with a fruit tray, a few snacks, a warm towel, and a complimentary drink. The rose petals were super cute and the person providing the service checked regularly to ensure the water temperature was good and the chair massage controls were working how I'd like them to. She ensured the nail shape was to my liking and she asked a few questions about my expectations of the color before applying. She even showed me her own nail color when I decided to pivot from my initial choice. While this location is in a very busy part of the city, they offer a parking option for those spending a certain amount. I was able to find street parking since I wasn't sure if I would spend that amount. I intend to visit again.

I did take notice at some customers nails and they looked fantastic. I told my friend if I am ever in the area I would come back here. Their location is in a cute part of Philadelphia. There was plenty of parking on the street near by.

I found this place basically walking around and from the outside I was like "oh my God it looks…read morelike the spot!" So I went online and set up a reservation for 630pm, wandered around for a little bit and came back. I was immediately greeted and told to pick out colors. I was then offered a drink list (virgin moscato me, please), then seated. The girl that helped me was absolutely amazing. She was so gentle with me, took her time cleaning up my cuticles and making sure that my nails were healthy before she applied my gel x nails. We were going back-and-forth about the length and I'm a long nail girl so we tried some medium length ones. I hated them, so she tried another set that was just right. I started off with a green color which she told me that we would have to apply too many coats for it to look right, even though it was a very beautiful color. So we opted for a different color which is more of a sky blue with hints of purple. I absolutely adore the color. I cannot say enough, how wonderful the experience was! How gorgeous my nails look, and it was less than $100. I left her a hefty tip and I set up my next appointment for three weeks. I will be returning.

Instead, she could've offered me to stop by anyway and see if we can find a solution. I was really looking forward to get my nails done here because I was referred by a friend but again this is very very disappointing.

When I traveled to Japan and Korea earlier this year, I fell in love with the Japanese style of…read morenails, which seems more common in Asia compared to the US. I like the minimalist and modern aesthetic and use of more muted, natural colors. In Philly, I hadn't come across any nail salons that offer those kinds of designs and/or colors so, when I chanced upon O'Studio's Yelp page, I wanted to check them out. The online appointment booking process was pretty straightforward, which you complete on their website. I booked a "Gel Manicure w/ Art/Design" and "Regular/Undecided" appointment. The appointment was originally for 1 hr 40 mins and the actual appointment ended up being 2 hrs. The total cost ended up being $108 excluding tip. The design I ended up chosing was a design that's featured on their Instagram (@pipimiaonail) but opted for a different nail shape. It seems like they regularly update their Instagram so, if you're indecisive like me, that's a good place to look for inspiration. They cater towards more of a Chinese speaking clientele but they were still very English friendly. My appointment went well and you can tell that the nail techs put a lot of care and attention in fulfilling the client's nail request; my nail tech, Chelsea, regularly checked in with me to make sure the nails were to my liking. I'm very happy with how my nails turned out and I've received several compliments. If I had to make any minor comments, when my cuticles were being trimmed, I was nicked a little bit on the thumb. Also, for one of the nails that had gold glitter on it, initially, a different type of glitter was used. After it was realized that the glitter was different, the different glitter wasn't completely removed before applying the gold glitter per the design. But, those are super minor comments and overall I think a fantastic job was done. Would I go back? : Definitely! I would highly recommend their services. They are a bit on the pricey side but I think it's worth paying the extra bit of money for the type, level, and quality of service they provide. Because this was my first visit, I erred on the safe side by choosing a design they had previously done. After my positive experience, I can tell that they are very skilled and will consider requesting other outside designs in the future.
