I honestly can't say enough amazing things about this nail salon and the owner. From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed and cared for, but what truly stood out was the level of kindness and attention I received. Not only did she do a phenomenal job on my nails (seriously, perfection down to the smallest detail), but she went above and beyond in a way I'll never forget. Being pregnant, I was already a bit uncomfortable, and she made sure I was completely taken care of the entire time. At one point, she even brought me food just to make sure I was okay and comfortable. That level of thoughtfulness is so rare. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients, not just the service. It wasn't just a nail appointment. it was an experience filled with warmth, generosity, and true hospitality. I will absolutely be coming back and recommending to everyone I know read more

Do not recommend liquid gel nails from this salon. Nails are not uniform and look distorte. read more

Came in about an hour before closing with my mom for just a simple manicure with no polish and we were both serviced and done before closing! As someone who's job involves a lot of physical labor these small moments of self care are amazing and Roses nails always delivers ! read more

I had a great experience at Rose Nails today!! I was seated right away and my nail tech, Nini, was super friendly (and patient as I tested out 4 colors before settling on one). The price for a regular manicure was reasonable- $24 before tip. I'd come back if I were in the Chapel Hill area! read more

Rose Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

I've been going to Rose Nails for 14 years and just had a bad experience that makes me not want to ever go back there again. I understand that got hit by Chantel, but their prices have increased so much that it's not worth it. I went today for a basic pedicure. I had to ask for hot water. there was no attention or treatment of rough spots on my feet. Perhaps that's not included in a basic pedicure anymore. I tried desperately to relax and listen to my book, but the person kept interrupting me. Overall the experience was 1000 times worse than it ever was. I don't see myself going back here which saddens me. read more

Amazing service, Mindy is awesome. Thank you so very much. I am so happy you're back open.

Stephanie is best!!! If you want an amazing pedicure you must come here! She takes the time to make your pedicure feel like you are the only one in the shop! read more

Absolutely a great experience, the staff were very friendly. Both me and my friend's nails look amazing and the prices are very reasonable!

I'm happy that this place is back open! The shop is clean and the workers are so nice. The gel manicure I got came out fantastic!

Had a great manicure with Mindy! Rose nails consistently does a great job love this place!

Very disappointed. Mi was distracted when another customer walked in. Sloppy fill job. Worst job I've ever had. I will not be back. also, I find it very rude when the techs don't speak English but talk in their language as they are doing nails. do not recommend. read more

Got there at the open and I was left sitting in between the beginning of my gel appt to finish. Had multiple people work on my nails. After putting the final coat on the tech just got up and left me sitting there. My nails are jagged and the color is uneven. I got my nails done all of the time - won't come back to Rose Nails. read more

Pro: Pedicure was excellent (best I've had in CH), wait time was short. Con: A little more expensive than anticipated based on menu! They were out of my first two color choices. Technician was detail oriented but very quiet and didn't communicate super well about prices, colors, etc. read more

I love Rose's Nails, but one time I went someplace else that my daughter wanted to go to. My manicure was awful and I had been cut. A few days later I went back to Rose's and Mindy, said she would fix it. She did such a good job that I always ask for her by name now. I love how confident I feel after getting my nails done by Mindy!! read more

This is my first time doing a review for a nail salon/manicurist and I've been getting my nails done pretty much my whole life! I really should've asked for her name because she was amazing but I think the whole shop deserves credit. My cousin, niece, and I had a 430 appointment (I think they're closing at 6 these days?) for mani/pedis and we got there about ten minutes late. They started us right away and their stations are spaced out every other chair for social distancing. They have plexiglass between you and theyre gloved/washing hands often. The employee assigned to me started my pedicure which was plain polish French. She honestly gave me the best foot/leg massage I can remember getting from a pedicure. I don't know how to explain it other than by saying it felt like she cared if I was enjoying the massage versus just trying to go through the motions of a massage? And thats just from her physical massage - she didn't say a word (until she placed the hot towel on my legs and she noticed I inhaled a little because it was hot and she immediately asked if it was too hot). So a regular comes in during my pedicure and asks if they have time to fit her in bc she needs a fill in or something. When my pedicure was done, a different employee began doing my hands while my initial manicurist went to help the walk-in. I was satisfied with the job he did on my nails especially cause he asked me to make sure I liked the shape and when I asked for more of a curve he was able to make the tips curvier. (Note: I NEVER get my nails done when they're this short because it feels like a waste but I made an exception this time and they did a wonderful job with the French tips on my short a** nails) What you see in the pictures is the final product after the first manicurist came by to check his work on my hands and she went over his work to make the thickness match the way she did my toes. I was truly satisfied with his but I do like it a bit thicker and she did it so fast it wasn't a hassle to stay extra long or anything. I just really appreciated her care for my satisfaction cause I already don't like correcting anything they do if I'm mildly unsatisfied but I left so happy with my nails and the quality of service and care. read more

21 years with nu- the best. Funny and works hard. Great manicure and pedicure. Always great

Way overcharged for acrylic fill-ins. They didn't give me a slip showing charges until after they ran my credit card. Mediocre job as well. Updating to add that new salon had to remove an acrylic nail due to a fungal infection likely pick up at this salon. I'm glad I switched as I'm not confident that this salon would have caught the infection. read more

Rose's Nails is a beloved Chapel Hill staple. The salon offers an updated, comfortable environment with a professional and friendly staff that always makes you feel welcome. I've been seeing Nu for over 20 years--she is truly wonderful! Not only is she kind and attentive, but she's also an expert at treating ingrown nails. read more

Had hoped to like this salon... convenient location ( Trader Joe's and Pilates) and open on Sundays - a big plus. My taste in nails is quite basic: the occasional black gel mani when work calls for a more polished look, poppy red pedis to elevate the tone of Birkenstock sandals in summer. Surely this place would deliver that, in a clean, pleasant manner? Nope. First time, owner was unpleasant. Barked rather than talked. Tech tried over and over to change my mind about what I wanted, so tedious. Quality of work low average, price on the high side. Second time, owner tried too hard to be pleasant, and to add services of course. Techs looked exhausted and sad. Pedi was perfunctory. Mani was the worst-- uneven nails, cuticles untouched, etc. Lesson learned. read more

I went to this salon for my nail tech, Ivy....its a clean, well kept space and they are wonderful, love the owner! Friendly atmosphere, and they have this wonderful product, Dazzle Dry! Alternative to gel......It dries in 5 minutes (no device required!), is 7+ days chip free, hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and Vegan! See the results for yourself! Try Rose nails, you won't be disappointed! read more

good nails and kind service ! mindy was nice i will come back again thank you so much for taking me in at the last minute

I started coming here about a year ago and have had good experiences when they are not busy. Today I went in at 12:45 pm and didn't get done until 3:45 pm . When I walked in they were not busy and I informed them that I wanted a dip manicure and gel pedicure. They had about five different people throughout those three hours work on my nails. It was clear that certain individual took priority even though they did not have appointments. I spent 105 dollars there and tipped 20 dollars , but since this has been the third time I have experienced this treatment, I have decided that I will no longer be going to this establishment . BTW I also had to refile my nails when I got home. read more

Wonderful pedicure! I was visiting from out of town and decided to try this place because of proximity (in addition to being open on Sunday) and was very happy with the friendly service, skilled/patient technician, and clean, pleasant atmosphere! Highly recommend! read more

This was hands down the worst manicure I have received in my life. My cuticles were overgrown and I mentioned them to him. He put cuticle gel on then tried to cut my cuticles while they were smothered in white cream. I mentioned it again and he told me they were already short. I ask him again, and he started randomly tugging at my nails and proceeds to make me bleed and give me a hang nail. When it came to actually painting my nails, he was awful. He just painted all over my finger then tried to remove the polish by smearing with his nails. Some nails were painted once, others three times. I had to ask him to remove the excess paint on my skin multiple times and he finally took a dry brush and wiped around my nails, removing nothing. Including a pedi, this all took 2+ hrs. Such a horrible experience. read more

Fantastic manicure and pedicure here! Always thorough, and it really lasts! My daughters always want something different or special and somehow they always seem able to duplicate some photo they bring in. Super friendly, relaxing environment. I got eyebrows waxed too while here and that was fast and painless. Definitely will be a regular. read more

Rose Nails - Gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

I really wanted rose nails to be the place that I treat myself, but it has consistently fallen short. The last few times I've visited, ive received poor service. I've had to sit in a pedicure chair for 20+ minutes while waiting for the next nail tech, felt rushed so they can go on to the next customer, and the nail techs left several times during my pedicure to do other clients for a few minutes and would come back to me. As new clients kept coming in, they would promise them services without telling them that it would be a significant wait. Several customers walked out during the time I was there. read more

The first visit was annoying, but I was a walk in, so I waited 45 minutes for what was quoted as being a 15 minute wait. The tips applied where uneven, rushed over and bulbous, not sleek and neatly shaped. When I returned for a fill in, I was passed up for a regular who did NOT have an appointment and asked to wait 30 minutes as all technicians were doing pedicures at the moment. My second attempt to get a fill in was a week later and again, passed up for a regular who walked in behind me and asked if I wanted to wait 30 min or come back the next day. I declined. I found another salon just across the ways and got the service and outcome I expected as a WALK IN. I will not be back, They need a better system and to care more about the craft and artistry of doing nails. read more

I received a good pedicure here, with a massage chair. My nails looked clean and there was no paint on my skin. For the price of $27, I could have paid 37 for mani pedi... so i'm not that happy about that. But the overall experience was pretty good and the lady doing my nails kept a good check on me, as well as friendly. I will visit other salons though read more

Rose Nails - not bad - Nail Salons Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

As a first time customer of Rose Nails, I can honestly say I was not impressed nor will it be a shop that I will be visiting again. I received a pedicure, nail polish change and a nail fix and to say the least I am not thrilled at either. I have coffin shaped nails which aren't easy to do for all nail techs so before she began I asked her was she comfortable with coffin shaped nails, she replied yes. It was after that, that I seen she was not familiar with the shape and not only did she have to try to reshape the nail several times but she then had to ask for assistance (like she should have done initially). My nail length did not match my other finger (because she went solely off sight) so I took it upon myself to assist her by measuring my nails and asking her several times to refile and remeasure my nails for accuracy. I am leaving the salon with nail polish all over the surface of my hand, uncleaned polish around my toe nails and non-soft feet. read more

If this review were only for my waxing experiences at Rose Nails, it would be a four star review. However, they are a nail salon, and, unfortunately, not a very good one, hence the sad two star-ness. Let's start with the waxing. They can usually take me right away and do a good job. I've had the same woman the last couple of times and she takes her time and makes sure to tweeze any stray hairs and trim my brows down nicely. I'm in and out quickly and the price is right - $16 for eyebrows and face. Sadly, their nail services just aren't that great. My roommate and I went before Spring Break last year to get our pre-cruise pedis and we were both unsatisfied. The experience and foot and leg massages were nice but both of our paint jobs were botched. The polish wasn't smooth on every toe and some nails weren't completely covered. Another roommate of mine went this semester and also wasn't happy with her paint job. The only positive nail experience I've had here was for a manicure. I was attending a Jersey Shore-themed party and wanted a black french manicure. The woman that painted my nails, Annie, was really nice and friendly and we chatted the whole time. (I always feel awkward when someone is grooming my body for me and we don't talk - even during facials and massages I talk) My manicure looked great and was perfect for the party. It lasted almost a week and I was amazed at the number of compliments I got. I go to Rose to get waxed because it's quick and easy and so close to home, but I make the trek to Durham or elsewhere to get my nails did. read more

For a cheap, quick mani/pedi this place is sufficient. There's nothing overly remarkable or bad to make this visit stand out as better or worse than any experience I had elsewhere. The staff was nice, it was clean, and I might try again at some point if I'm ever in need of a quick mani/pedi in the future. Short-term, the pedicure was fine. The polish lasted 4 weeks without chipping, but I would have liked for my feet to have more than a quick pass with a pumice. The rest of my foot looked like hell two weeks in, and shortly thereafter the nails were too long for me to run comfortably without trimming them myself. I think the language barrier might have been to blame and I didn't want to make a scene when she said she knew how to do her job since it was a quick fix. I realize longer nails are prettier, but as a runner when they are long enough to scratch the toe box of my sneaker, that's some painful stuff. The manicure experience was much better. Aside from needing to fix a few small spots where the polish was lifting, my nails still looked good for the four weeks as long as you didn't look too closely. I was way more impressed with the manicure. read more
