Great location Clean Clean restrooms Family owned Location in the middle of everything, near many restaurants. I have gotten my nails done here several times. The first time Fast service! Great nails! Second time fast service! Good nails! 3rd time, I wanted to leave with one nail done as they out the wrong color on my nails 3 times and told me it was what I wanted. Most recently, my service yes I gave them another chance was good, nails were good, girl was very nice. I would give them a shot mainly during the week. Weekends are busy. Find your favorite person and always request them. It is clean and that is important. read more

Immaculately clean, with Excellent service and No waiting. We've visited 3 times over the last 6 months and I cannot imagine why their rating is less than 3 stars! Possibly a little higher price, but remember, You get what you pay for! read more

This is one of the cleanest salons I've visited in years. I spent double what I budgeted but the ambiance just relaxed everything including my wallet lol. The staff was top notch. read more

ima be brutally Honest ... I'm new the area an i just wanted to check it out ... yes the place is beautiful on the inside but there were not many techs and it took forever to get my nails finished and i have a overlay and was charged 65 and i watched all the women that came in after leave before me and i just had a simple service ! she was very nice but the service wasn't what i expected from the reviews ! read more

I went here with my girlfriend and she was getting a fill-in while I got a regular manicure with a design on two nails. The lady working on me was rushing and shaking and while she was cleaning up my cuticles, she dug too deep into my thumb and cut a piece of my thumb! I'm sitting there bleeding, no band-aid nothing she just put my hand back into the water. After she finished which the design didn't look anything like what me and my girlfriend wanted. I asked for a band-aid and they just kinda shrugged it off like I was tripping! Got home, put on a band-aid and went to take it off and some of the gel came off my thumb with it as well so that was nice too. Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. This picture is two days healed after she decided to dice my thumb like onion. read more

How does only one worker do eyebrow waxing??? There are 3 of us waiting for eyebrows and no worker that can take us to get them done. This was supposed to be a quick process for me but I've been here for almost 20 minutes already. read more

Quality in service has definitely gone downhill since the remodel... seems like Sandy doesn't care about customer service. I walked in... she did not even look at me and she was standing behind the counter.... Mimi... who was doing someone else nails asked me what I needed and then Sandy proceeded to try and ask... they fanned me to one area to go to Hellen... Hellen was attentive but she did make my skin bleed on my left middle toe, she did not notice until she started scrubbing. I noticed when I saw blood. She avoided scrubbing it with the brush but could not avoid it when she sprayed the alcohol/antiseptic at the end.... Next, I went to Sandy to get my eyebrows done and she was more interested in her Asian Novella than doing my eyebrows. One has an arch and the other does not... literally looks like one eyebrow is up and the other is down.... She didn't even want to give me a mirror when she was done... she was like alright bye.. until I was searching around for a mirror then she handed it to me... she knew she messed up... she did not take her time or even ask how my day was.... Sad... she is losing a lot of customers. read more

I came from out of state for a wedding. The makeup lady cancelled on us last minute. We scrambled to find someone else to do our makeup. We were not successful in finding someone else. I was annoyed and devastated. But we were able to get some eyelash extensions done last minute by the owner of the salon. With our eyelashes done, we didn't need to worry too much about the rest of our makeup. It's now Tuesday and these lashes are not going anywhere. They are definitely on there. I haven't lost any of them yet. The owner put them on quickly but thoroughly. She really took her time making sure it looked good on the three of us but did a great job with efficiency. She wasn't happy with mine and added even more on to make sure they met her satisfaction and standards. We didn't get our nails done here, so I don't have any comments on that. The salon is clean and pretty. Restroom is clean. There are signs up asking you to limit how many people you bring in who are not receiving services from them. Lots of parking. They are closed on Sundays. I would highly recommend getting eyelashes done by the owner. read more

1st time visiting there with my girls. We all had pedicures. Don't waste your time or money. My feet look like they were done by a toddler. I got upcharged for a delux pedicure that was the same treatment that I would have gotten for a classic pedicure. My nails were not shaped and the polish job is sloppy. I got mine done by a man with no fingers. DO NOT go to him. He left oil and mud on my legs and feet. He was supposed to clean it off, but didn't. Then he was rushing us out of the door right after the polish. My daughters had similar experience. The one good technician was who my daughter got. Her name is Helen. $184 dollars later, I am very upset about the service. They were also talking about us poorly, but they didn't know that I understood some of what they were saying. Do not go here. read more

My daughter and I went here for the 1st time Thursday New Year's Eve 2020. When we arrived at 10:30 it was crowded, but we were seated immediately. (2 pedicures ,1 fullest, 1 fill in we both got gel polish on our feet/nails). The pedicure was basic, nothing to expand on. I choose an iridescent color for my toes which required black polish as the base and the iridescent color on top. Well you can see the black polish around the edges of my toes and it just doesn't look good. I choose the same style polish/different color for my hands and that turned out better. I had a different tech on my nails and I had to tell this technician not to reshape my nails. I didn't ask to have them reshaped from almond to round. When we finally left at 1:15, it was still crowded and we noticed several people still receiving services and they were there when we arrived. While paying for the services I expressed my dislike for the toe nail polish. I told them due to the time I would come back for a color change. Later that evening while eating dinner I felt something funny on my nails. Welp the polish started peeling off one of the nails . Seriously the same day! So, New Year's Day 2021 I return to the shop to change the toenail polish and fix the nail polish. I explained my situation to the lady who greets you upon your arrival. I signed in and told her I'd like the polish changed on my feet and correct the polish on my hand. She says they may replace your polish. May??? I'm asked to take a seat and I wait for over 45 mins (completely outrageous). The nail technician immediately remembered me from the day before and he remembered I was returning to change the color on my toes. When I showed him my nails and asked how this could happen in less then 24hrs - all of a sudden he could not understand me or the English I was speaking. The lady explained to him in his language to fix one nail. I asked is there something wrong with the polish. He didn't understand that question either. I'm completely frustrated by this time I remind him about changing my toe polish. Miraculously he's able to say in English - you will have to wait we're busy and short staffed. Can you believe that! I responded- I've already waited close to an hour for you to do one nail and I made it clear when I came in what services I wanted. I should not have to wait any longer for a polish change! Again all of a sudden my English is not comprehensive, go figure Needless to say I WILL NEVER RETURN. They are pricey for mediocre service. I'll take my money some place else with better service all around. Some places you would give a 2nd chance, this is not one of them for me. Save yourself the aggravation, time and your money! read more

Terrible terrible experience, I usually go to the same nail salon every time but stoped by royal nails because it was convenient and I was in the area. The services were terrible my nails weren't done correctly and looked like a five year old did them. I left immediately and had to go to another salon to have them redone completely. Absolutely ridiculous I don't know how this salon is still in business I left in complete shock. Do not go here and waste your money like I did read more

i have been there now 3 times. the first two times were great. last time my nails were messed up not done correctly and i was asked to come bavk next day to fix. the biggest problem i had is they over charged my card. i received the deluxe pedi for 40 dollras, with gel polish . the gel polish chipped 2 days later and i received ombre full set, total charge was 95 dollars. didnt take off anything for messing up my nails but then charged my card $150.00 . i am in the process of disputing with bank. i called the store 2 times with no answer from anyone. i love steven and how he does nails but i will not be giving my money to people to decide to charge what they want. the two times before that i paid cash. should have got cash this time too. read more

This is definitely one of my favorite places to get my nails done the work I get is always so well done and the people are always so so nice

HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!! There are plenty of other nail salons in Columbia!!! Don't waste your time and money coming here! They fucked my nails up and had the nerves to try to charge me for something they did wrong! My nails are shaped so bad it looks like my three year old niece did my nails. I asked for a refund and they tried to refuse refunding me my money! I will never spend another dime in their establishment I told them while I was walking out. They also had another lady in there that got her nails done just yesterday and they were popping off. I am literally sitting in the parking lot writing this review because that's how disgusted I am with this place. AGAIN SAVE YOUR TIME AND YOUR MONEY!!!! They done even deserve to be open after how the messed my nails up today! I attached pictures so you can see how awful the job was and the bitch had the nerve to say that their shape and work is never wrong I'm just looking at it wrong!!!! Piss poor customer service and piss poor work!!! read more

The nail salon is beautiful and very clean. My feet and nails look worst leaving out than they did when I came in. Horrible! My nails are uneven and not filed smoothly. The polish looks as if a toddler did it. I would not recommend and I will not return. I'll have to spend more money tomorrow to get my nails and feet done over. Smh. Do not waste your time or money. read more
