    Spring dip manicure done by Ivy
    Erin J.

    Another flawless dip manicure compliments of my girl Ivy! I've been going to Raw Lab Spa since pre pandemic. Throughout it all I have continued to receive the same level of excellence. From the moment I walk in I am welcomed by the staff. Even though the shop is small it never feels crowded. The music is always on point and I always look forward to chit chat and catching up with Ivy. I am no stranger to diy projects and as a homemaker I truly put these nails to the test!.Trust me when I say the dip is worth it!!! Absolutely no peeling and the durability it everything. Thanks guys!!!!!! Keep up the great work!!!! Love ya Ivy

    This was my second time getting my nails done here. The first time I got pink chrome and they were perfect so I was excited to go again. This time I had wanted green french tip and some design based on eagles colors. I was so disappointed that you could see my entire nail underneath the dip and they were really thick. I was too nervous to say anything and unfortunately had to go get them redone at a different salon.

    I showed a pic and said that what I would want. I don't know the lady's name, but she was not very friendly. She didn't question much and just asked me what color I want. I said light pink like in my pic. We didn't talk to each other too much as I was tired, when I was told to wash my hands, I looked at my nail, the details were done terribly and it was too late to ask for anything. In the end, the lady was super afraid that I don't pay tips, so she has to literally look at the screen to be sure I'm paying. I don't like the experience at all, and I will never go back to this store. Check out my image for the final look. It's too ugly, I don't know what to do with it.

    This review is for a walk-in, gel nail service. The place seemed like it was more specialized in dipping powder but I wanted to stick with what I knew. The staff was pretty nice but the communication was not smooth. I felt like they did not much attention to the detail but was fine with the result until the gel nail literally peeled off after 18 hours. This is not my first gel nail done and most of them lasted about a month to three. Never had I ever gotten gel nail service done that did not even last a day. All I did was sleep and eat dinner and breakfast. I saw the gel nail was peeled off when I was washing my hand for lunch and was horrified how short it lasted. If this was cheap nail salon, I would've understood but that was not the case either. Needless to say, I was disappointed and will not return to the business. This place might be good with the dipping powder but for anything else, you might want to think again.

    Finally found place in Philadelphia that does nail dip and gel manicure just perfect. Lady's are picky more them I am lol ,place is clean , and so easy to schedule/reschedule appointment But most importan -my nails are not cracking !!!! I've been doing nails with them for more then 2 years now and never been happier with my mani-pedi.(*-*) Thank you lady's

    I decided to get a dip powder full set here while visiting Philly for the weekend. I was drawn by the fact that they use non-toxic nail products in this salon. I booked an appointment with Nichole via their online appointment scheduler (which is very convenient) ahead of time. This is a small nail salon, so I highly recommend making an appointment! I was very pleased with the way Nichole did my nails. She was very attentive and shaped my nails how I wanted. I got a gold print on two of my nails for fun! The next day, one of the gold patterns was starting to come off, so I went back to the salon and they fixed it for me without any hassle. I will be sure to come back to this nail salon next time I'm in Philly! I love the service and the fact that they use non-toxic products. I'm writing this review about 4 weeks after I got the dip powder manicure and it has not chipped at all!

    I can't believe I've never written a review before BUT this is the only place I get my nails done. They're always clean, precise, and relatively fast. It's owned by a very kind family, and I've had my nails done by pretty much everyone there; always perfect.

    Crooked :(

    Honestly, second time after going here, I'm just set to not return. I had the same lady twice and the first time I went, I did gel nails and a week and a half later, they'd all peeled cleanly off my nails. I returned last week for dip powder nails and well, I left very happy as it was my first time and from afar, I'm sure they look great but realistically, it's not a $61 job that was done and just disappointed. There is (1) girl that everyone raves about but is not available when I make my appointments but sucks to have gone 2x and this having been the case. So anyway, it's hard to find nail salons but needless to say, still looking! Lol

    Went here for two years while living in Philadelphia for school. I dont think I've ever had a set I wasn't absolutely in love with! Every time I was in the staff was so friendly and made me feel like I wasn't just another service rolling through, especially Candice. Everything was super clean and comfortable.

    This salon is cute and cozy!!! Nicole did an amazing job on my nails. I got a dip powder manicure. She was very focused and detailed oriented to ensure I walked out completely happy with my manicure! This salon is clean and welcoming. Will definitely return again

    The BEST place for a dip powder mani! This place is cute and cozy and the staff will pay attention to detail and make sure you leave happy. I think they have 3 tables and 2 pedicure chairs - so I find it best to make an appointment ahead of time! They have an easy booking system on their website. ALSO - dip powder mani's are only $37 if paid in cash. I will never get my nails done anywhere else - I am currently on week 3 of this mani, which still looks perfect (minus it growing out). Thank you Raw Lab!

    Dip nails after 2 weeks!

    I've tried out so many nail salons in Philly and gotten dip manicures many times. This is absolutely the place to go for a dip manicure! I saw Ivy two weeks ago who was very nice and patient. She really knows what she's doing and willing to accommodate when needed. Attached is a picture of my nails after 2 weeks with NO lifting, cracks, etc. My nails have never looked so good after 2 weeks. I've already made my next appointment with Ivy. They also offer a cash discounts

    Natural nails with multicolored pink dip powder
    Alandra R.

    I love this place. I've gone 2 times now and had 2 different nail techs and they were both amazing. I got the dip powder and did multicolored nails both times. So friendly, so kind, and really care about having you leave with perfect nails. Affordable as well! Never going anywhere else!!

    This is HOURs after I left the salon.

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 have had gel manicures and regular pedis a few times here. The last time I went the owner was…read moregiving me a massage while the tech was painting my nails. First, he seemed to be giving a more aggressive massage than usual making it difficult for tech to paint my nails. Then he was massaging my lower back and actually "massaged" my bottom. He has never done this before. It was gross. I tried to move and he moved his hand up. Also, the tech I had -I don't know her name- she is the youngest one -again did a gel manicure that chipped within 2 days. I thought it was a fluke the first time but now I know it is her. She also rushes as though there is another customer waiting when there isn't. I was hoping for a different tech that did a better job on another visit but no such luck. The positive is they use plastic liners for foot tub and give you a cold water bottle.

    I have been putting this off for a while, but I'm sad to say that I won't be going back to Allure…read more I have always been a walk in because I never know if I'll feel well on a given day and have the energy to get my nails done. I probably should have made an appointment for my last few visits, because I somehow always get Coco and she's just not good. She did a dip mani on me a few weeks ago - my first - that was so lumpy and thick that the cuticle edges kept catching on my hair and clothes. When I finally went back to have it removed and get a regular gel manicure instead, she rushed through my pedicure (no spa, just regular). While she was using the callus file she was looking around the salon and not at my heels, which she was sanding down to nothing. Barely any massage. The gel manicure was also rushed. She was using a worn file to shred the thick layers of dip powder - which she'd applied a few weeks ago - until my nail plates felt sore. You can see how the polish was applied. No cleaning up of the skin around my nails and a gap between the polish and cuticle. I didn't love the color (it definitely looked different on the swatch nail) but I just wanted to leave at that point. I walked out feeling like I wasted $40 plus tip. And now my nails are SO THIN. I'm sad because I really like Alice, Lily, June, and the gentleman who does the massages. I've been going here forever. I just can't keep wasting money on bad manicures. I also miss when they'd use a fresh file and buffer on each client, but now they're obviously reusing the ones they have into the ground.
