I stopped by Cosmo Nail Bar for a manicure this week, and it was the best quality manicure I've had…read morein ages. The wait wasn't long (but I was there in the early afternoon on a weekday on an icy, snowy day, when some people may still have been hunkered down indoors), but I'd recommend making a reservation, since they're not a large nail salon and didn't seem to have as many staff members as other nail salons. But it was clean and comfortable, and they were playing great music. My nails look great - shaped perfectly, painted carefully. They took their time to make sure my nails looked great. They were friendly, and they offer plenty of paint options (I had plenty of dip options to choose from). Really a good place for a mani or pedi. I'd be happy to return.

The first manicure I got here was a dip one and it lasted three weeks before I decided to change…read morecolor! It looked great and was obviously long lasting. It was time for a new manicure and out of convenience I went to a salon in the mall. That was my first mistake. I should have known my nails were going down hill from the way that tech removed the dip. She basically just ripped the old polish off taking the healthy top layers of my nails with it. The mall manicure lasted a mere few days before chipping because she layered it so thick, maybe to compensate for my now weak nails. I should have made my way right back to Allure, but alas I went to a different salon later, again out of convenience. They gave me a better manicure but it still chipped and she also was a bit rough removing the polish. I didn't get nearly the two week wear I should have before the polish began to pull away from my nail and chips began to form. After two not so great experiences I came back here. I believe the tech who did my nails was the owner, and commented on how weak they looked, so I told her they removed the polish terribly elsewhere last time. When she took the polish off she took her time to make sure it was done the right way instead of just rushing it to make time for more clients. No cutting corners. She shaped them well, applied the polish so pristine, and made sure that they were perfect before I walked out. They also include a paraffin wax treatment every time and it feels so good! That's just the beginning. Now to the part of this whole experience that compelled me to write a 5 Star review; I noticed a few days later that the charge posted twice to my card. I think it might have been because her daughter (I think?) who was helping out in the salon ran the card. I could tell she was figuring out the machine, and by accident it charged the amount before tip, then the amount that I put down after tip. Two charges posted, one for $39 and the corrected one with tip of $47. Mistakes happen though, so before going to the card company, I called the salon to see if they could fix it. I left my name and number (owner was with a customer) and the owner called me back as soon as she was done. It was within 30 minutes. I explained and she immediately worked to remedy the problem. She removed the $39 charge, was in communication with me about the process, and even texted me a photo of the refund receipt showing that it was taken care of. Not only do they provide a great service with much better value than other salons in town, but the customer service and atmosphere is far superior. I won't be going anywhere else to get my nails done as long as I am in Annapolis. Allure is the best and their good company ethic shows. Thank you!

While your…read morestaff is wonderful and provides excellent service, I noticed that the kits currently in use do not meet the salon's or the team's high standards. In fact, the kit's low quality caused me to get cut during my service. When I visit a premium salon, I expect the tools and products to reflect that same level of quality and safety. The current kits felt subpar and detracted from the overall experience. I love coming to your salon and wanted to bring this to your attention so you can look into higher-quality alternatives for your clients and staff.

I really wanted to like this place because of its brand new massage chairs and cleanliness but…read moreunfortunately the bad far outweighs the good. I first came in on 2/15 to get an Annapolis pedicure with gel polish. At first I was very happy used a 10% off first visit from Annapolis moms mention and despite the receptionist making a mistake and charging me someone else balance then changing me a second time to make the difference, that was not a big deal to me. Came in 6 days later to get a basic manicure with gel before my vacation to Hawaii which was 5 days later. Less than a week later (a day after I got to Hawaii and not even touched the beach yet) my toe nail polish had flaked off and my nail polish was catching on my hair. I messaged the salon via DM instagram and they said I could come in no problem when I came back from vacation. Here's when it all went downhill: I meant to say I could come in March 15 (get back the 6th but weekends only work for me getting my one year old watched) however I put the 8th, this was not scheduled as I never received a text confirming the date which would've helped the confusion. The 15th comes and I go in thinking I'm getting my nails fixed, nope! They are too busy and I have to come another day so I say I guess I could come back 3/15 (exactly one month from my first visit). When I arrived I wanted to clarify before getting the service that they were fixing this and I would not be charged for it yet I'd still tip. I got attitude saying at this point my nails would need to be redone but this one time (said multiple times) they will do it. I have never been so disrespected in a business before in my entire life. My heart was pounding and my leg shaking the entire time, honestly I wanted to walk out of here after she started. The tech wasn't going to cut my long nails and when I asked her too she shook her head and said "well of course they are long it's been over 5 weeks". Despite the disrespect I still tipped her $8 for 30 minutes of work of doing my nails and toenails, crazy. My nails are still slightly bumpy along the tips and chipped on the thumb nail chipped only 12 days later. For the price I'd expect more, better massage, definitely better service/experience, and for the gel polish to last longer. Never had gel last so little of time. Very disappointing!

I also appreciate that they've stopped charging extra for certain nail polishes. The foot exfoliator they use is fantastic. I've noticed some inconsistencies with the Uptown Pedicure service. My first visit was great -- exactly as described, with a scrub up to the knee, paraffin wax, and a lovely extended massage. That's what convinced me to make the drive from Baltimore to Annapolis for a repeat visit. But on my next few visits, those steps were skipped entirely. I even reached out to the contact listed online, but never received a response. I decided to give it another try this past week, hoping my previous experience was a one-off mistake. Unfortunately, it wasn't. The same abbreviated service again. I also got a gel manicure this time. The nail tech was super sweet and friendly. The dry cuticle care left my cuticles shredded. The description of the gel manicure mentions a lotion massage, but what I received was just a few drops of cuticle oil after curing the polish -- definitely not the same thing. I totally understand if this location has adjusteld their service menu from the national model, but if that's the case, it would be great to have that clearly communicated on the services description for Annapolis

I mentioned this to him and requested him put more on those areas, he did an even more underwhelming job while continuing to avoid my toes and heels.

I have been here twice, once where they used COLD damp towels to wipe off my feet (steam is disinfecting... so i'm hoping they disinfect their blue towels otherwise). The nail tech also used a wrench (from a nearby bucket of miscellaneous tools) to unclog my foot basin. Unfortunately I have noticed what seems to be an infection on my feet since (day 3 after) getting pedicure from here. Will NOT be back-- unacceptable, unpleasant, and unsanitary!
