After trying "boutique" nail salons in the city, I found Sarah Nails through a friend and have never looked back. The salon itself is very clean and the staff is always welcoming, never rushing me to pick a color, and always accommodates a last-minute appointment or walk-in! I always opt for a gel manicure and it lasts much longer than my experiences at trendy salons in the fan & they even offer some of the same organic polishes if you choose to go that route. If not, I also love this salon as it's never overpowering/smelling of chemicals. The snack and drink bar is a nice touch and the prices are very reasonable ($30 for gel manicure or regular pedicure). Just remember to bring cash for a tip! read more

This is my go to nail spot! They have so many color choices, and are always so welcoming. I send all my co-workers here when they ask for a recommendation. They do get busy so make sure to call ahead if you're pressed for time. read more

Walk right in, sit right down, baby let your hair hang down... love that they take walk-ins, but appointments are encouraged. I've gotten several pretty manicures and pedicures here! It's such a relaxing atmosphere and the chairs for the pedis are comfy! I'm not a fan of the massaging, but I'm sure I'm in the minority on this one! So, if you've got a case of ennui, this is the pedi"cure"! I've also seen ladies and "manis" at this nail shop! The first experience was sublime! Loved my nails, silver and gold! The second time manicurist was distracted, on her phone, had another customer looks be up tickets for an event while doing my nails, but the color I picked for autumn was gorgeous, a sparkly rusty pumpkin color! My third trip was so nice! My pedi was done so fast and easy! I loved the tan neutral my daughter and I picked! But, they didn't give us any hand lotion before painting our nails which is unusual for nail salons. And my dry, crusty, alligator skin needed some lovin'!! I did love their nail polish wall! Great selection! I was asked by a friend if they had an ABC license because she loves wine with her mani!! Sadly no. They don't "offer" soft drinks and water, but if you ask, they point to a mini fridge. A bit more attention to detail, along with the one manicurist paying more attention to her customers, would bring this place up to a 5! read more

I stumbled here by accident. I'm new to the area so I've been looking for a nail salon and I found it! The salon is so beautiful! The aesthetics looked like it came from Pinterest. The service from the time I walked in until I left was phenomenal! My new nail tech is Sherry and she was wonderful and very good. She took care of my pedicure as well as my new acrylic set! It was a bit pricey but definitely worth it! I'm coming back! read more

This is my third time going here to get my nails done today I went in to get nails for graduation. I had Pam, I think she was new to the salon but she went above and beyond making sure my nails were exactly what I wanted. Could not recommend her more, originally I started going here out of convenience because it was so close to where I lived but after how amazing Pam did on my nails I will definitely be going there for their quality now. She took her time, didn't get any polish on my skin and only just barely touched my skin with the electric filer once. Since I got my tips on my nails for the first time and she was so nice and patient with me as I was trying to decide what length I was comfortable with. Also since I was getting tips I needed to get dip gel on my nails but my toes were in regular gel since they did not have a perfect match they made sure to add a layer of the gel I had on my toes to my nails to get them to match! Overall I love this place and will definitely be back soon, but not too soon because when I get my nails done here it always stays on forever! read more

I normally don't leave reviews but I genuinely do not recommend this place. They charged me $10 more than what was "quoted". The gel manicure does not look like what I requested and it has already started lifting/peeling off not even a week later. I explained to the gentleman doing my nails that it doesn't look right and he fixed only one of my nails. I requested cow print and showed a picture multiple times, but he just seemed in a rush to finish. I was also cut multiple times with the nail technician laughing about it. Will not be going back. read more

Sarah Nails And Spa - Manicure a less than a week later - Nail Salons Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

The spa is nice!! And they have plenty of nail colors. I felt like a kid in the candy shop. My nail tech was nice...but it took them almost an hour to begin my pedicure. They brought me to the back within 10 minutes of my arrival and put my feet in the water. But didnt start the pedi until about 50 minutes later. My feet were like raisins by the time they started. But, in all fairness, it was super crowded which, according to them and another patron, is rare. In total, I spent 2 hours there. Since there are so many nail salons in the area, I don't know if I'll be back. If I do, I'll make a reservation - which seems to work best. read more

Sarah Nails And Spa - Front Desk - Nail Salons Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

You tell me... I've been getting ombré for over 10 years and never had it look quite like this. How could anyone think this looks good?? Or even ok?! I should've gone with my gut and just left when he never wrapped my old dip off my nails and started with this hot garbage. My first time here, the lady in the front did my nails. While the edges did peel in 2 weeks, she did good otherwise so I came back. The guy tonight, way different story. Didn't wrap/remove my old dip, burned my finger on the drill, cut my cuticle until it bled and gave me the worst ombré set I've truly ever had unfortunately. So sad I wasted my time and $70 on these hideous nails. I should have spoken up and said this is not acceptable. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere or ask for the nice lady in the front who actually knows what she's doing. I'd love my money back or that lady to redo them right about now. I want to cry looking at my nails and how they bad they look. read more

I have been coming here for probably two years to get pedicures. I normally do not like to use salons like this, but my daughter and I schedule time together for pedicures. The pedicure as normal was good. However, I was supposed to get a manicure after my pedicure. I am African-American. A white woman was put in front of me to get a pedicure. I was told I had to wait to get a manicure. I was already a customer in the salon being serviced before the white women even showed up. I will be clear: my pedicure was finished, and all I had to do was move to the manicure station. However, the white woman was given access to services before me. "So sorry" does not cut it! read more

Oh, I got my nails done here recently with a friend and had a great experience. We made a reservation for two at both. Got pedicures. The ambience nice, it's clean, and the technicians are friendly. The prices are affordable I would definitely return. read more

Great find! Was able to have a walk in appointment for my sister and I. I had Sarah herself so my nails. I was afraid of them being too lumpy but she did a great job making them look very natural. We loved the service and only had to wait a few mins to sit down even though they were so busy. Highly recommended! read more

I made an appointment to get a pedicure with Cathy. She's been doing my nails on and off for 12 years. I love her and I love the service she gives. When I told my daughter I was getting a pedicure she said she wanted one too. I called and was told someone could do her at 4 when I have my appointment. When I arrived Cathy told me to head back to the pedicure chair. My daughter has to wait 35 minutes and the lady slapped her on her foot to get her attention and left her to do some else. She literally walked away! Another lady finished my daughter's pedicure and did a great job. If the other person hadn't done that I would have given this review a 4 or 5 star. Cathy is the best and I will continue to use her but I wouldn't refer anyone to this place unless Cathy is available to do their nails or their feet. read more

I have been going to Sarah's nails for over four years and they are by far the best nail place in RVA. I see Kathy and she is consistent in giving a great dip manicure. I have tried other places and nothing compares. read more

Kathy was great! I came here after reading the reviews and decided to go with Kathy. She helped me pick out a color and listened to my concerns with my nails. The overall salon was clean and inviting. They are covid friendly as all of the staff wore mask and they asked their customers to do the same. I'm the kind of person that wants both a nice ambiance and a good manicure at the same time. My dip was $45 but worth it based on Kathy and the relaxing salon. read more

The price is very high and it look like run like a factory quantity service not quality. They will rush to your service through everything.

A good and affordable nail salon. They do a nice job on gel manicures. My lady was very helpful when picking my color. She made sure I was happy with it and helped me pick out a better color that better matched what I was looking for. They also offer a wax treatment option if you're interested! Also very convenient parking and the prices are good. $30 for gel manicures. Definitely worth it if you want a manicure on a budget. But the gel manicure isn't holding up as well as my gel manicure at Red Door Spa. read more

I found this little gem one day by accident. Heather is my go to girl because she is so gentle and my nails look amazing everytime! They have a huge selection of dip and some awesome designs a lot of places don't do. The owner Sarah is so kind to her employees you can tell they all love each other here. The atmosphere is clean and modern. The prices are fair and they don't overcharge. You can really tell the owner loves her business! I love that Always getting compliments on my nails thank you! read more

I wanted to leave a great review i have used sarah's nails many times, always a good experience for me today was no exception. Getting nails for my wedding done, and they were excellent showed my inspiration picture and got almost an exact match. They also did a fantastic job with my 7 yr old some how fashioning tips and a dip polish, made her feel so special today. read more

I was referred to this salon by a friend after I complemented her manicure. My manicure was excellent. I also had a pedicure on a different date that was nice. I didn't understand why with a Manicure there is no lotion or massage. When I asked I was told that they don't do lotion massage because of Covid. I am a medical provider working in a hospital and there is no evidence to support this. Not to mention they are working with your hands the entire time so what is the difference when it comes to the massage and I am still charged the same price with less service. There is also a 3% penalty if you use your debit card on top of cash only tip. I wish I would have known this before going. I like Vanessa so I will continue to see her for now. I can only give 3 stars because of the concerns mentioned. read more

I found this place when my regular spot was closed on memorial day and they have won me over! The ladies are professional and the salon is organized and beautiful. I 've been twice now, there's never a wait, and I didn't feel like the girl was in a rush. She took her time and paid attention to detail. The pedicure was a good price , and the leg scrub was so relaxing.. felt great! I love the option of scent to use.. I prefer the lavender. I get French manicures and they have done them perfectly both times. I'm a new regular customer! read more

My nail technician was on vacation. So I walked in and asked if I could get a pedicure and a fill in. They checked the books and I was told yes. I got the pedicure and I was then asked do I wanna come back at about 2:30. Which would've been a hour. I said no I will just wait. In the meantime the lady that did My pedicure she asked me to pay. I'm thinking to myself why would I need to pay right now when I'm getting my nails done also. Plus she was still doing pedicures. So I went ahead and paid. I waited over an hour and 15 minutes and no one still did my nails. So I just walked out. No one said a thing to me. This was a total disappointment for me at Sarah's Nails. If they could not have provided me with all services I asked for, they should have told me up front. I could have gone somewhere else and got both services done all together. read more

Honestly I was pleased with the first nail tech that worked on me. The second woman was just not friendly and cold. Decent polish job but I hated that the hand-off took place without me even being told and then to have her be so rigid and rushed was unpleasant. The spot is nice. And there doesn't appear to be anything else like this in the area. I'll try again next time I'm in town but I'll have to be sure and let my friend who recommended the place to me know that I wasn't happy. I'm visiting from out of town too so to have a free moment to come in and have a relaxing experience was the goal. Not so much though. read more

Sarah Nails And Spa - Regular pedi with gel polish, coming right up! - Nail Salons Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

While visiting Richmond I found this salon. It's extremely clean inside and nicely decorated. The stone, marble, and light fixtures are very classy. Not your traditional salon. It's very nicely kept. The staff is very nice as well. They have a huge selection of shellac and regular polish. They have samples of each color and some are on these nice boards to sample what you want. All the colors are organized by numbers. I got a pedicure with my husband. It was the $40 one with scrub, hot stone massage, and a regular massage. They massage a ton! It was awesome! The chairs are nice too. All their equipment is top notch. You get to pick your scent too. The pedi was well worth it. We also were walk ins and they took us both at the same time. I'm thankful that worked out because it was 4:00 on a Friday. They have drinks and snacks as well. The paint job was great until I left the salon and looked up close. Where she did the third application you could see the lines. It was not against my skin. My big toe was kinda messed up. Could have been my fault but appears it was the way it was applied. Who knows. One of my toes got smudged and the lady fixed it right away, no questions asked. I will return though. I fault myself for not pointing it out. I will definitely make this my home base salon when I visit Richmond! read more

I called on Thursday morning to see if they had any available appointments and was able to get scheduled for noon. The shop is very clean and sanitary as they require you to wash your hands when you enter. Kelly did my pedicure and she did a great job. She assisted me with picking out a nice color for an upcoming trip, and she ensured I liked the color before continuing with the polish. I will be going back to visit Sarah's nails and making an appointment with Kelly. read more

Tommy is the best nail technician. He makes sure everything is quality and is a nice person.

I was in Richmond for a convention and wanted a pedicure & fill in. The salon is beautiful, modern and very clean. I was taken right away and started by Sarah, who was super sweet, professional and particular to detail for my fill in. I decided to go with chrome nails. I do not remember the name of the young woman who did them, but she was absolutely amazing! Very particular about detail and nice. Another young lady did my pedicure and she got the calluses off and her foot and leg massage made me want to fall asleep, that's how relaxed I was. I only wish I lived closer to Richmond so that I could go to this salon regularly. If you live near here, please hurry up and go so that you can experience the fabulousness that is Sarah's Nails and Spa! read more

Sarah Nails And Spa - The pic doesn't do the nails justice. When I tell you these nails shine bright like a diamond in the sky Sarah's is the best!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

Went with my grandma a few weeks back. AMAZING service. I got gel on my toes and acrylic French tips. It took a while but it turned out great and my nails are still intact even after playing volleyball and treating them like my natural nails. So many colors, scented lotions, and fantastic nail artists to choose from. They were upfront about pricing and gave me many options if what I wanted was too expensive. Takes great care of customers. This was my first time getting acrylics from them and I will be back soon to get my nails done for my 8th-grade graduation. Highly recommended!!! read more

This used to be one of my favorite nail salons, it's beautiful inside, the people are very nice. But my most recent experience was upsetting. I was getting a pedicure before my birthday beach trip and the woman doing my pedicure asked me what shape I wanted, I said square and she confirmed with me that I said square. She finished one foot and I began looking closely at it because it didn't look right, she said she didn't round... then proceeded to try and explain why she did round. I am very unhappy with the result, one foot has shorter nails than the other and the shape just looks horrible. read more

Best nail place I've been able to find in Richmond. I normally get a dip powder manicure and pedicure and they never disappoint.

Friendly staff, priced well. I was a walk-in and the last client of the day and the staff didn't rush me through but rather took the time to do my eyebrows and toes. Thanks! read more

I took my mom there yesterday as an early birthday present. The shop is so cute, very modern. I looks like it should be a shop on LA. Sooooo many choices of colors to choose from too. They took us back and we were handed brochures on the different types of pedicures. I simply explained that I just wanted lots of massage and the then wax treatment. They were so helpful. They even told us how much it was going to be, which I thought was nice. We must have been there for over an hour, it was such a pleasant experience. Hey chatted a lot with myself and my mom so that made it very personable. They have snacks, bottled water, and soda to choose from as well. I would def. recommend this place. Such a relaxing experience. However, my polish did start to chip today :( but nothing major. read more

9 times out of 10 I love this nail salon. I really don't have a lot negative to say, basically just depends on who you have as your tech. You can really tell the owner cares a lot for her employees and they keep the salon immaculate. The salon is decorated beautifully, which is important to me. I really need to enjoy the ambience as well as the experience of getting my nails done. They have plenty of colors to choose from. I usually get my nails dipped or shellac and a regular pedicure. My only gripe is it would be great to have a few more options with scents for the scrubs and lotions. There are only four to choose from. Maybe just a seasonal one would be nice, especially for Christmas :) Overall I love this salon this salon: my nails look great, last for weeks, and I leave feeling relaxed. I will continue to go whenever I can! read more

I came in for a pedicure and got a deluxe pedicure. I was in and out within an hour. The nail technician started my pedicure and everything was fine until one of her friends walked in at which point she left me sitting in the pedicure chair for almost 20 minutes waiting on her while she started working on her friends nails. She then rushed through the rest of my service even though I had gotten a deluxe package and then immediately left and went back to her friend. Was not impressed for the price I paid and experience I received, and will never go back. read more

I have been to this nail salon a couple times and always leave pretty happy. They're very quick and the facility is one of the cleaner, more appealing facilities I've seen in Richmond. Design of the place is pretty new and it's very spacious so you don't feel too cramped like you're doing some nail salons. The setting is also very calm and soothing and more spa-like. They always offer me a drink when I walk in which is great and don't rush me through anything. I think the pricing is good as well and they don't pressure me into getting anything I don't want. My only criticism is that the two times I've gotten pedicures there, I asked how long the wait is going to be they say about five minutes. And then about five minutes later they put me in the chair and put my feet in the water and then I wait another 20 minutes for someone to come to me. So to me, that's more like a 25 minute wait, not a five minute wait. I've been fine with it both times, but without being informed, I just keep wondering why people keep walking by me and when am I going to get worked on. It hasn't been a problem timing-wise for me, but if I was tight for time I would be frustrated with that. Lastly, they give great, lengthy massages which is exactly the main reason I get pedicures! Will definitely go back anytime I need a mani/pedi in the short pump area. read more

This is my go-to spot! I live in the East End and shops near me all disappoint. Sarah is fabulous. It's very clean, bright, and well-decorated. There are snacks and drinks available too. They have so many options for gel, powder, stickers, and unique designs. Every tech is, of course, unique. So you'll have to find the person for you! I refuse to go anywhere else. read more
