Bacterial infection from waxing service

The most rushed & extremely rough pedicure I've ever gotten. The lady was using her nails to massage the shit out of my legs and feet. My head was banging into the chair each time she rubbed them. So not relaxing. Not to mention I knew better than to get a wax at a nail salon, but here is your warning... DO NOT DO IT. She used the same stick that was in the wax to redip each time. Never changed the dipping stick. She ripped off my skin on both armpits and now I have a bacterial infection. Disgusting and painful af. Do yourself a favor and find local boutique places and pay the extra $$ it'll be worth it. Being impatient got the best of me and now I have to pay for it.

Yikes!

I just moved to this area and had been looking for a new nail place. First I would like to say I cannot believe how I was treated. The pics say it all. I needed a fill in with powder. She tried to argue that I had acrylic nails. Finally she listened to me but when she did the fill in she made it so thick it looks like my nail is deformed. When I was explaining to her what I noticed (I am a licensed Cosmetologist by the way), she tried to blame it on my nails. They aren't even. I also got a pedicure, he cut me. While I was explaining to the girl about my concerns, an elderly man that works there was working on a lady's nails and he looked up and said "if she don't like it, she can leave and then he started laughing. Worst experience ever at a nail salon. I do not recommend this place at all!

Dip powder manicure
Carly B.

I went in for a gel pedicure and dip manicure. I will start by saying the manicure was great, except the manicure part was skipped and they went right to doing the polish/dip part. No soaking my nails or caring for nail beds, no lotion afterwards or anything, but my nails look great. The pedicure was not enjoyable. After saying which pedicure we wanted many times and pointing to it as well, we were repeatedly asked to get the more expensive one. My toes were scrubbed so hard that one bled, and it was very rushed. I asked for a glitter color that I know when layered is very pretty. The nail tech chose a color she thought would go nicely underneath that I didn't want and told her that. She continued so I let her and it looked fine. In all my gel pedicure and dip manicure cost a whopping $97. I was so upset with how things went here that I will not be going back.

My two year old can do better.

I have been going to this salon for months and never had an issue, always loved my nails and was impressed with what they could do. However, tonight I went into the salon two hours before closing to find most of the employees playing card, sitting in the pedicure chairs and not paying attention to the few customers that were walking into the salon. I walked over to the front desk to wave someone over to ask for a dip set and pedicure. I quickly showed her a Pinterest photo and was rushed to a chair. I chose one of the more expensive pedicures because I am a SAHM and wanted to splurge. I was very disappointed with my decision right away. I felt as if I was being rushed. The pedi turned out horrific, I should've went with my gut instinct and declined the dip manicure and just asked for my current dip to be removed. Pictures below are unbelievable. $100 for this hack job.

Three week grow out.

Fair prices, great work ethic and perfectionism from the employees, professional, clean, kind. Convenient location for running errands as well. I was seen on time, I was done super fast, and it looked great.

What I got for $84.

What I asked for (in first photo) vs. what I got. Their website says $40 for dip set. I understand there are additional charges that they don't inform you on. They charged me $70 for what they did so my total was $84. Also, my nail shapes and lengths do not match on both hands. Super upset.

Gel nail polish

I had very unpleasant experience here this salon on Saturday, November 18th 2023. The nail lady "Rachelle" completely left my nails SCRATCHED from her utensils. The nail in the picture shown has not even ENOUGH GEL ON MY NAIL. It looks like it was done in a hurry. I still have nail polish on my skin from where she painted it. Once the polish has been "cured" from The UV light, it does not come off. Even me not a nail tech should know this from how many times I've been to the nail shops. I do not recommend this place. They laughed at me when I sat in the wrong chair by mistake. Really steps on a person's self esteem a little bit... In conclusion of my lengthy review, Royal Nail Salon in Southern Pine-- count your days.

I did a walk-in fill and my SIL did a pedi today around 3. They were able to take us both right away. I had come previously for my last set. I will say it was not that great. The nails were thick, edges rough, jewels crooked, and the gel had dips. I didn't have high expectations this time around either. Can I say... it really depends on the nail tech. I'm kicking myself because I didn't get her name, but she sits on the right, third chair from register, and wears a red apron. My nails look gorgeous. I knew I wanted two colors, but the light one I chose clashed. She was quick to find a matching color, offered the perfect glitter, and adjusted the embellishments until they were to my liking. I was wary of the gel polish because of my previous set, but she blew that out of the water. She was meticulous with the shape, smoothed out all the rough edges, and the nails are a perfect thickness. No nicks or cuts to my cuticle area either.

Not going here again!! Manicure included removing a chunk of skin which now shows signs of infection. No discount, no apology. Never again.

Went for a manicure yesterday, left after having a chunk of skin removed. She went on with it as blood was pouring out. Now looks infected. No discount, no apology. Never again.

Gel manicure by Tina A.
Hannah L.

Do you ever get a mani/pedi and hold your breath till it's over because each nail salon is hit or miss? Do you look down after your pedicure and say to yourself "It looks like I painted my own damn toenails?" That won't happen here!!! I highly recommend Tina A (there are two Tinas) and Tom. Tina is a whiz with the gel and Tom is bomb at dip!! So ask for Tina A. as she is a perfectionist and doesn't flood the cuticle during manicures (ver ver important) or ask for Tom because he's 1) hilarious and 2) super dedicated to making sure you like your service! Very entertaining and enjoyable experience. Bonus: Tom added tips to make my almond nails actually look even since my pointer and middle finger nails on my dominant hand are forever broken and short. Thanks Tom! The selection of gel colors is huge here, and there are complimentary snacks, bottled water, beer and wine!Make an appointment to ensure that you don't have a wait. Pricing is significantly better than other salons close by. This is my SPOT!!

Uneven nail beds and terrible clumpy polish.
Felicia P.

Terrible experience with dirty tools and careless technician. My technician pulled tools out of her apron to cut my cuticles and file/shape my nails. I was uncomfortable to ask her to get a clean pair. She then proceeded to remove my previous gel polish with a nail drill and filed my nail beds so thin they are actually uneven and sore to the touch. There are so many nail technicians it seems almost impossible to find a good one in order to be able to request the same one each time. I would not recommend this nail salon.

Just don't go- I honestly feel sad writing this review because I am a decently frequent customer at royal and have gotten some great acrylic sets there specifically from Hannah and her friend. Recently I went and just got gel done by one of the men, who tried to convince me multiple times to change my design to something he could do, which was placing a red sticker on my nail when i wanted a hand drawn heart so the colors would match. Anyways i made another request for no acrylic powder and he laughed in my face repeatedly before explaining he had to use powder on the tips (which i understand), but wow what a dick. He got someone else to hand draw my two little hearts but they aren't great. OH AND THE CHERRY ON TOP - three days later i get a bacterial infection in my nail bed SO THANKS ROYAL NAIL SPA YALL PROB GAVE ME MRSA. CLEAN UR DAMN TOOLS. but anyways yall stay safe i won't be back

Everything was perfect. Pressure was great, constant touch and I enjoyed the extensive kneading most of all. I would highly recommend and I'll be back. Genevieve also gave me a wonderful facial. I enjoyed every minute of it. Very luxurious and i loved how relaxing the setting was. Genevieve was so nice and thorough. Perfect facial!! I will definitely be back.

From the moment we arrived the space felt warm, welcoming, and impeccably curated; it's clear Angela and her team have created something very special in Southern Pines. My appointment included a haircut, scalp treatment, facial, full-body massage, leg + Brazilian wax, manicure, and pedicure. Kaitlyn thoughtfully crafted a customized package that met everything I'd been dreaming about -- exactly the kind of attentive planning you want in a full-service spa. Erin, Destiny, Giselle, Brianna, Kelly, and Angela were gentle, skilled, and professional at every step. The scalp treatment and facial were deeply relaxing and noticeably restorative; my hair, skin, and posture felt visibly improved after the massage. The waxing and nail services were meticulous and comfortable -- no corners cut, just care. Beyond the excellent technical work, what moved me most was the atmosphere of true hospitality: staff treated me like family while honoring my privacy and comfort. I'd been feeling hidden away and less like myself lately, and the team at Karma helped me reclaim my confidence and my stride. If you're in the Sandhills and need a place to recharge, I can't recommend Karma enough -- book ahead (they're popular for a reason) and treat yourself. I left glowing and grateful.

The first time that I visited, I had great service. I'm a male and I get a pedicure once a month so…read moreI decided to go back again four weeks later and I had a terrible experience. I get the middle of the road usually but this time it was like a foot soak and a little bit of a nail clipping and out the door I would not go back again for a person that is on his feet all day pedicures are important . Ido not recommend this business. There are much better places that you can go for foot care.

I have been to this salon several times and just get more frustrated every visit. I initially went…read morethere because "Hanna" was recommended and she was very good, the next appt she pushed me off on the next in line person and it was average at best (thick nails). I just went with it, today I went and got a pedicure and gel fill. Tamara who did my pedicure did a really nice job and I would go back to her but probably not there. Leo did my fills and it was like a race getting them done. I left and started looking at my nails and the tips had not been painted so I went back I saw Hanna and she looked at them and said "what's wrong? You don't like them.....seriously. She put me back in Leo's chair and he attempted to fix them, while having a good laugh with his colleagues. No one will ever know what that was about. Started out good, today was a debacle. Probably won't be desperate enough to go back after today.
