Visiting my boyfriend for the weekend and we thought it would be nice to have a pedicure to stay out of the heat. Picked a gel color, waited for 30 min (it was Saturday morning, so I get it), only to have a lady who was clearly new and/or not qualified. Didn't push my cuticles back to cut them, but started "cutting" anyway. But what exactly did she cut? Not much. I made two comments about it and asked to get it cleaned up, to which she said she was still getting to it. At this point, my feet were already dry and the foot bath was empty. I spoke to the person I thought was the manager, who started to clean up the skin that was clearly missed, THEN clipped off part of my nail and made me bleed. When I looked at her, she said... you will be fine. Thankfully, I don't ever have to come here again. read more

I routinely get SNS every 6 weeks. Their technicians do an amazing job; however, the manager discriminates regarding what she charges. The price list states the SNS service is $40-$45. There was one occasion about a year ago when I splurged and got a design on my nails, which I paid $45. Every time I go, I just get a new color. Nothing extra. I went this past Friday for a new color: acetone, file and application of the new color. At the register, the lady who did my nails said that the manager told her to charge me $50. The time prior to I paid $40 plus a tip. There were times when I was charged 40 and other times, they tried to charge me 45. And when I asked why, they say it's for long nail. Well, I don't wear fake nails so each time they try to use that reason to charge me extra, I have refused. The other tactic used is because they filed my nails down. Yes I refuse. I noticed that every time I go there, they have the same conversation, take long states at my nails as if looking at my nails somehow makes them longer. And of course, I only pay the $40. This last time was the final straw. upon my arrival, they were checking out another customer whose nails were the same length and she was charged $40. I just so happened to be near the kiosk and saw the price. It's discriminatio & predatory. I will never patronize this company again and am only sharing so others are aware of how the management conducts business. If I didn't stand up to her price gouging, she would have taken advantage of me. And no, my nails aren't long. They cut them down each time but still try to charge me for long nails. Oh yeah, there was also a handful of times when I was charged $45 because "I didn't get a pedicure". (this is what the technician said after talking with the manager) Be Aware . read more

I gave it two stars for atmosphere, cleanliness and pedicures. I had an SNS. Girl charged me 10.00 more than I asked for and it lasted a week. I only tipped 8.00 for that and it still came to 68.00. it lasted 1 week and 3 nails cracked through middle for no reason. Will never go back . Been getting my nails done for 30 years. Worst job. read more

Too much money spent on services that left me unsatisfied. Went in for a pedicure and a sns manicure. Pedicure was completed first and pictures show what the nail tech attempted to give me as a final result. After explaining that I felt the paint was messy she did come back and repaint. Her method of painting was to overpaint each toe and then "clean up" with polish remover and a paintbrush. When the manicure was completed the nail tech did not clean up the underside or carefully look at the nail beds. At this time I had been there for 3 hours (with no wait initially) and left knowing I'll never come back to this salon. read more

My cousin and I decided to pamper ourselves while we were in North Carolina and we came in to get pedicures around 2pm on Labor Day. It was pretty busy when we went to the salon and although they closed at 4, the nail techs really took their time on our pedicures. I had a great experience with my pedicure. I got the Honey & Milk pedicure which comes with a nice mud masque and paraffin as well as different sugar & salt scrubs. I really enjoyed the whole pedicure. The only issue I was having was at the end and the polish job was a bit too thick that when we got back to our place it was all messed up. I stayed under the dryer for quite awhile too. Suzie was the nail tech that helped me out and she really did a great job with the pedicure overall. Our deluxe pedicures were about $50/55 each. I like how they have a variety of nail selections and how they have two princess pedicures chairs in the back for little girls. There are a lot of pedicure chairs and it's very spacious inside. All the nail techs worked really hard to accommodate us on a busy holiday. read more

I use to love this place but the past few months I have been so disappointed. Dirty brushes. Keep pushing me to upgrade or do extras. I asked for short nails and round. One foot is that way and the other isn't... now I have to go home and cut one foot to match the other. And they pull the cuticles out!! It hurts! Like I said, for 5 years this was the only place I would go but I don't think I will be returning again. read more

Nancy is fantastic! Super detail oriented, doesn't rush. Will continue coming here! Basic SNS is $35-40 which is great. They also take appointments so you can choose your tech. read more

Very spacious, super friendly atmosphere. It was quite and relaxing for sure . My nail tech Lilly moved to this location and of course I had to follow! I was a little worried but they made me feel just as comfortable as if I've Always been going there. See Lilly for all your cute designs. They have plenty of space so u won't feel bunched up at all .. read more

A pretty nice place to be pampered. They are very friendly and have always been very clean. Based on that I have to say they are about the most conservative place I go from a Covid safety standpoint. If you have not been since the shutdown they sell you a toolkit that you have to bring back for future visits. I feel very safe there. read more

We just moved to the area in February and I am very pleased that I found them on yelp. This nail salon is not like most as it has plenty of seating for manicure or pedicure but it also has the staff to match. This way you are not sitting there waiting on someone. The staff is very friendly as are the customers. So glad we found this new place and we will return soon. read more

I asked for ombré SNS nails thinking it would be more "fancy" than just sticking to one solid pink shimmer color and instead the tech left my nails half bare and told me it was too late to change them. I expressed my disappointment and she never apologized and still charged me the full price and up charge for "ombré" my nails look like they have tOp coat and nothing more. I then requested to use the restroom and she had the nerve to say "sorry the lights are off" when it was 7:45pm and the salon closed at 8pm. I'm pregnant and she couldn't even try to make me comfortable by letting me use the bathroom. Luckily the manager took over and walked me to the bathroom herself. Which made the tech lady look like she flat out wanted me to just leave. I very clearly communicated that I was NOT HAPPY and she never said sorry, it would've gone a long way. Instead she tried to defend herself and say people like it naturally. It was my first time doing SNS so I had no idea how it worked and was waiting on the second COLOR the whole time. Now I'm fed up and have to stick with these basic nails for my maternity shoot. I tipped 20% because I know what it's like to be a tipped employee and did not find it right to leave her no tip. But I couldn't even get a discount or sorry?!! Moral of my story, I will never be going back. I work too hard for my money to be accepting mediocrity. read more

Royal Nails - $45 for this "ombré" what a let down !! - Nail Salons Near Me - Kernersville, North Carolina

Fantastic salon. We were traveling from Pittsburgh, Pa to Greensboro for a class reunions. My wife needed a pedicure quickly and had no idea who to call. I checked Yelp and found Royal Nails with high score reviews. The customer reviews could not have been more accurate. They got her in quickly and Jennie did the work. Wow, what a beautiful job. I was even impressed, being a husband, that is not something I rate often. We wish Jennie would come to the Pittsburgh and open her own salon as she is that fantastic. Thanks to the business for getting her in so quickly and to Jennie for spending the extra time to get the pedicure perfect. read more

Loved my Royal Nails experience! My nails were a mess because of not knowing safe places following strict precautions during covid. Royal Nails has clear plexiglass barrier between the salon worker and you at all times. They take your temperature when you walk in. There is space between you and other customers with massage chairs closed in between. They all wear masks. All customers are required to wear masks. And they sanitize each chair and work table after each client. I was very pleased with the safety measures that I could enjoy the massage chair without worries :-) read more

So, as an update to my review- Royal nails has now expanded and updated the salon. More chairs, private waxing rooms, bright walls, beautiful artwork, kids chairs and even more super nice massaging pedicure chairs. They have about 15 pedicure chairs! Pedicure is still $25 and a deluxe with wax dip is still $30. This is the nicest, cleanest salon in the area without paying top dollar for a balance or grandover. They offer you refreshments while you have services and the tv's and music are at reasonable levels. This salon sets the standard in the triad. I have often because of convenience gone to another salon and then regretted it, knowing I could have paid the same at Royal Nails and gotten so much more. They just go above and beyond ( tonight I watched a guy dust and clean a station after a girl got a manicure and he even cleaned the chair legs and a lady did a Notre Dame logo on a guys toes that looked exactly like the logo) You will not be disappointed in the diamond and a sea of mediocre. read more

Went to Royal nails today. My tech was Jennie. I wanted to stop using acrylic (used gel in my previous state). I wanted to discuss getting powder. I tried powder at the previous salon I went to and it was not a good experience. They did not use SNS POWDER. Jennie did a fabulous job of removing the acrylic, I DID NOT experience pain. The salon is beautiful and I highly recommend it. Thanks to a friends recommendation I am now very happy! My nails look beautiful! read more

I use to like coming here but my second vist was horrible! I came there to take my my critical gel nails off and was standing there for 5 mins till someone came to ask me what I wanted. Then on top of that I was seated down they walked by me 10 times and been siting there for 30 mins without help. I was mad and they didn't even care for my company I would not be coming back and telling everyone how rude they are! read more

This is an amazing place! Don't be turned away by the shopping center, the cleanliness is impeccable, the staff is very friendly, and they do very quality work!

Been going here a long time. First few times the girl tore the skin on about every finger. They take a long time, unless you get the right one. This last pedicure took 2 hrs. And the owner had to redo a few. Finding another place. Given them too many chances. If you do go get a good one and stick to them. read more

Everyone here is always happy. They not only laugh and joke with the customers, but each other too. They give a nice arm and hand massage after your nails are done and with tendon issues and arthritis it's a wonderful touch. They always seem to be thorough even when they are busy, they never rush you through it. Its a great place to go. read more

I'm happy to have finally found a high quality, friendly salon. I got a pedicure and SNS nails with extensions because I bite my nails. Juliette made sure I was satisfied with them. She did a great job! I didn't feel rushed or like I was a burden at all like some do at other salons. Amber did my pedicure and also did a wonderful job. She did a nice massage! ...Cindy had introduced herself and ensured that I liked my services. I've never even met a manager at any other salon I've been to. The customer service here is superior and I will definitely be back. read more

Absolutely wonderful experience! We had a couples deluxe pedicure and I also had a shellac polish. One fantastic benefit here is that they use a clear plastic bag IN the pedicure bowl. The bag is changed for each client! Much more sanitary. I mentioned some minute things that we prefer and they remembered and adhered to each request happily. At no point did we feel as though we were inconveniencing them. The final thing that topped off the experience for me is that they offered to do my shellac (gel) simultaneously with our pedicures so he didn't have to wait for me afterwards!! What an excellent, sanitary, friendly, quality establishment! Thank you! read more

Royal Nails is my favorite nail salon. Cindy, the owner, takes time to learn all of her customers' names. The nail techs are all very professional, friendly and helpful.

I called early in the day to schedule a 5pm appt, which they said was fine and I was scheduled. I get there, inform the front desk of the appt, and then sit for 20 minutes until they get a pedicure chair available. Then I sit 10 more minutes with lukewarm water waiting for the gel polish I asked for half an hour ago. By 5:45 I was ready to go. I did not have time to wait that long to get my nails done, hence the 5pm "appointment". The woman who came over to help me dry off said nobody ever told her I had an appt, even though I said so TWICE. They were ready to take me then, but at that point they had already completely wasted my time. I understand that they were busy, but if they are unable to honor an appt they really shouldn't schedule one at all. I was really interested in trying this place since I work 5 minutes away, but this first impression has convinced me that they do not take appointments seriously, and they have a serious problem with communication. I will not be back. Do not bother scheduling appointments here, especially if you value your time. read more

This place was pretty nice. I was serviced very quickly without an appointment but I did come around 1p on a weekday. I will say the polish selection was decent but a little lacking compared to some other places I've seen, it also wasn't really organized at all, they were just kind of thrown up there, making it difficult to find a specific color palette. They use sanitary liners for the pedicure foot bowl, but the woman that did mine didn't put the liner in until I had already sat down and I had to hold my legs up for a pretty long time while she tried to adjust it. This normally wouldn't have been an issue but the day before was leg day at the gym and I was SORE and it was a struggle. Their pedicures are nice and include an epsom salt foot soak, massage, sugar or salt scrub (not sure which), as well as the usual nail care and polish. There are several large TVs and the massage chairs are nice (though not as intense as I prefer). The lady that did my pedicure wasn't rude but she was friendly either. She made no attempt at all to have any conversation with me, which can be good or bad just depending on your personal preference. Personally, I feel uncomfortable when someone kind of refuses to talk to me, because she did seem to know a bit of English when speaking to someone else. Overall, I did really like this place and I will be back. read more

I have being going here for almost a year and I have gotten the same length (Long) nail and color (I bring my own). The price started at $35 for a fill-in and then went to $45, and now it is $60.....for gel nails, your basic, cheapest nails. I have never been to a salon where the turnover rate is ridiculous, like this one. Then last night when I paid the $60, I only gave a $5 tip and was made fun of by the entire staff. This place disgusts me with the way I have been treated. Please do not go here. Cindy is not a good manager and does not lead by example. I guess they charge what they want to or whatever the mood is that day. read more

I did like going to this salon until one day my family came home and told me thats the Manager Cindy was talking s*** about me when I wasn't there. I was just there earlier that day to get my nails done and she was laughing and cheesing all in my face. And then later on she tells one of my family members she doesn't like my hair and hope that I don't wear it on my trip to PR. Well bitch I did along with the many other hairstyles I wear. If she had something negative she wanted to say she should have been woman enough to say it to my face and not to my daughter. The sad part is I really thought she was cool and a sweet person but it turns out she's just two faced and like to make stupid ass comments about you behind your back to your kids. I really feel like that's very unprofessional I will no longer recommend my family or friends to go there. And let's keep it real the gel nails are not all that great I usually have to go home and file the gel down because it's all over my cuticles and the gel usually lifts after a few days because is not the best. I've been to better and I'll keep doing that. You're not the only game in town and you just lost a potentially lifetime customer because one thing you don't do,is talk shit behind my back to my family. Haha laugh at that. I understand you can't handle beautiful people that are beautiful inside out. With your same ol boring tired ass look. TRUE DISAPPOINTMENT! ON TO THE NEXT...... read more

Awesome deluxe pedicure!! Good price. Seems clean. And very nice staff!

yesterday, i had appt, no wait, my nails were in bad shape from another salon and cindy the mgr. assured me she could correct the damage and send me out of there happy and satisfied, which she did. i also got a basic manicure in a ped bowl with plastic liner and was very happy with the results. the atmosphere is soft music, low lighting combined with a glass of wine which created a very relaxing experience. i will go back. read more
