Consistently tbe highest quality manicures and pedicures I've gotten in the area! They always pay close attention to every detail and shape/paint my nails perfectly. The nail technicians are so sweet and welcoming. Super affordable prices considering the high quality work. They offer tea and cookies and to top it all off, they even finished my manicure with a shoulder and neck massage which felt amazing. No other nail salon in the area has impressed me more. read more

Update - Within 24 hours my DIP nails started to peel. I've never had this happen. I hate when nails peel which is why I don't get gel and instead opt for Dip. For $106 I'd expect way better quality. (Gel pedi, dip mani) ------ Decent salon but it takes VERY long for a full mani pedi. If I return it would solely be for the foot massage I received with my pedi. Probably the best I've had at a salon. read more

Let me first say that the customer service here is great! The employees seem to really make an effort to make you feel comfortable. However, both times I got my nails done here, I wasn't super impressed with how they looked. My gel mani and regularly pedi chipped soon after my appt the first time (which usually never happens when I go to other places), so I thought maybe it's a fluke or that I did something unknowingly. This time, however, I notice a day later that my gel polish is too thick that it's STILL smearable and almost seems to have an air bubble in the paint on my right thumb, which will likely soon lead to a tear/chip. Also, neither manicurist I had started my polish right up against my cuticle (there remains a small gap) which looks like my nail already started to grow out right off the bat. So there's that. I also don't feel that the massage chairs are strong enough. This might not be a big deal for some people, but for me it is. I'm going to a nail salon to treat myself and want the full experience, including a decent massage. So while the employees are really sweet, I'm not sure that's enough for me to return. read more

Sassy's has been my nail spot over 4 years; shellac mani, regular pedi. The team is warm when I walk in and the owner stops to chat with the regulars. Hot tea or water is available and sometimes the occasional happy hour! Positive atmosphere and good vibes here. Most important to me is the quality of the nail care bc I type on a keyboard all day.I like that the gel lasts at least 2 weeks. And they're careful around my cuticles so i don't have to worry about hang nails. There's also the massage chairs, love those! read more

I have been to Sassy Nails twice. The first two times were good. I am just leaving my third visit. I came in wanting baby pink nails. (Manicure, no gel, just polish) The nail tech painted my nails, I requested for some touch ups, then was time for my nails to dry. After waiting 25 minutes, I saw that a few of my nails were sticky and wouldn't fully dry. The nail tech came back over to touch them up. She removed the polish of three nails and re-did them. While doing so, she messed up one of those nails and had to go back in again to repaint. (She was visibly frustrated.) After that, I let my nails dry again. Looking at them I was unhappy anddddd they were still sticky and would not dry. I told the male nail tech i didn't like them and I just wanted a clear coat. He told her to come back and do just that. While checking out he said, "next time pick a different color. The color you picked was too thick." I said, "she should've told me that." And he said "yeah." I came in at 2:22pm and left at 4:13pm with a clear coat. I wasn't offered a discount or anything either. I paid $25, which I don't mind doing so if what I came for originally was a clear coat. Unfortunately, I will not be returning based off how this experience was handled. Picture speaks for itself. I recommend if a costumer picks a polish color that is "too thick" or won't apply correctly, you let them know at the start of the service. (Not an hour and a half later.) read more

the quality of this place has totally gone down hill - i've gone for years and came in today for a gel manicure and pedicure. most of their original staff had turned over and who's left are completely incompetent. the woman who put my sandals on dented my big toe - no apology, no acknowledgement. i had to call attention to it and then another woman came to fix it, she refused to redo it at first, slathering acetone on it to "smooth it out." i told her she needed to redo it and when she finally did it, she dropped the nail polish applicator on my toes, and then got huffy when i asked her to remove it. added 15 min to my time there due to the poor customer service and attention to detail - completely insane. save your money and your time and go anywhere else!! read more

Do not go here if you're looking to remove acrylic nails. I've been going to this salon for a while and have never had a problem until recently. I went in looking to get my acrylics taken off and quickly realized that the gentleman doing it had no idea what he was doing. He ended up filing my acrylic down to an incredibly thin layer without completely removing it, leaving my actual nails paper thin and sore. When I let the woman at the front desk know I didn't want a gel manicure because there was still acrylic on my nails, and I could see where it started, she tried to convince me that it was just "a line from where the acrylic started" but that it was completely gone. Which I knew wasn't true. Now, the thin layer of acrylic is chipping off on paper thin nails and very uncomfortable. It's fine if a nail salon doesn't know how to do something. It's not fine if they pretend like they do, take your money, and damage your nails. Then try to gaslight you into believing something that isn't true. I won't be coming back. read more

I have been to Sassy Nails a few times before and had a good experience, so I've been getting my nails done there when I'm in the neighborhood. However, this last time I was there was a zero stars experience and I probably won't be back. I was getting a mani pedi for a special event in two days. The basic pedicure took almost an hour, not because my feet were that bad, but because the person working on my feet was exceptionally slow and distracted. My manicure, done by someone else, was horrible. I told her I had a special event and wanted the length of my nails even. My fingernails are on the shorter side, but still there's plenty to work with. She said, "don't worry, I'll take care of you, I know what to do". And then before I knew it she had cut every single fingernail down to nothing on my left hand, leaving no white nail and cutting everything below my finger tip! She left me with nails so short I can't even scratch an itch with them!! She thought it would be good for the health of my nails to cut everything down and let it grow back. Maybe true, but not before a major fancy event two days later where I wanted to have my nails looking nice! She didn't even ask me if it was ok for her to do this! WTH? read more

I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the work for both the pedicure and manicure. I felt like the application had been rushed at the other place I had initially gotten the gel x applied, so I decided to try out Kim's instead. And I'm very happy I did. Annie did my nails and took great care in looking at my detailed design idea, asking me what colors I wanted and checking in multiple times to ask if I liked it. My manicure and pedicure are still perfectly intact 3 weeks later. I will say, I would probably give 4.5 stars if I could, just because the pedicure took a long time as the girl doing it was on phone calls/FaceTimes the whole time and kept texting on her phone. That was strange to me, but the gel pedicure has lasted much longer than at the previous place I went to so I'm happy about that.

(See my other reviews for example) it might look like a regular nail salon, but the artistry is next level luxury.

My first time coming in I saw Jojo, then Hannah, then Cherry, all great work. Today I saw Lee who is also the manager and watching her work I was in awe. She was doing my builder gel mani while booking appointments, managing walk ins, checking out customers and answering calls texts, I don't know how she does it all without error but I can see why she's in charge. They are quite busy, so I recommend booking an appointment and coming during slower hours (it's never empty though!) sometimes I find myself waiting after walking in on a weekday afternoon or morning even because their customers always come back. No matter what they always find a way to get me in. They are very transparent with pricing, they will tell you how much everything is, add ons shape change etc. and it is good that they do this. This is not a cheap salon, they charge fairly for their quality of work. The employees seem happy.

I accepted the offer of a redo, and they were able to see me quickly.

My nail tech today also did a lovely job with the nail design. She was very skilled and meticulous with her work (grooming, polish and design) so I expect this set will last longer than my last. If you're getting a Russian mani, take note that you can expect it to take nearly 2 hours, so feed the parking meter accordingly. Overall, I am happy with my experience and will be back. :)

I LOVE my nails! I have gotten so many compliments on them! I came back to this salon after my vacation and Charlie always impresses me. He listened and did everything that I wanted on my nails and brought my vision to life! He is my go-to nail tech for a year now. I wanted the OPI white pearl gel and ombre sparkle on my ring and index fingers. He even recommended to put gems on ombre sparkle nails, and I am obsessed with it! Recommendation: Arrive 10-15 mins earlier than your appointment time to let the staff know that you're there, and if a nail tech is available before your appointment time, then you will get seated right away. I've been doing this and it allows me to choose my colors and think about my designs and not feel rushed. Overall: I absolutely enjoy the vibe, cleanliness, staff are friendly, and the manager always makes me laugh! Coming in with patience and a positive attitude will set the mood for my experience every time I come here.... read more

Whoah! This is a heavenly nail salon. Everytime i go here, there is always something new. So i've been here 3 weeks ago to get my Mani&Pedi combo for only $26 after an exhausting day after work. They still had the older chairs, but just today, i came in and there was NEW SPA CHAIRS AND MANICURE TABLES for the same price as 3 weeks ago (plus my color was still on my nails). I felt so excited to try out the UPGRADED everything! The ladies gives great massages. I swear, it was like heaven. There was a more relaxing music instead of radio music. I'm so glad there isnt a TV here because i dont want to feel like i'm at the doctors. So yeah, the service was excellent. Everything you need, just tell the employees, and they'll get it for you right away! I highly recommend this nail salon for anyone who needs to get away from work or school. You will be amazed when you walk out, like i did. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! We expect so much from our hair salon, message salon etc. why not have the same standards for a nail salon?! This place is clean, very pretty and relaxing. The chairs are fantastic and always work! I highly recommend Linda for pedicures! She is very attentive and gives amazing messages paying close attention to pressure points on the bottom of your foot. The green tea they offer is hot and soothing. The colors are the latest and Vanessa does a great "funky" or reverse french manicure. Want to impress you Mom, sister or a girlfriend? Take them there for some pampering and then go down the street to Rolling Dunes (across form Piedmont Theaters) for a great cocktail. read more

I have been a client at Sassy Nails Spa for 4 years and they have been doing excellent service for the years i have been there. They have pretty good price/deal - from Monday to Wednesday only $26 including a FREE 10 min massage.. oh so relaxing! i love massages after a hard day at work.. oh i dont know why, but Sassy Nails has a couple low reviews & i think that is wrong, i absolutely love this place, especially the music it's so relaxing. i heard that some other nail salons on piedmont ave is writing bad reveiws about this heavenly salon, and from my point of view, that is NOT FAIR to the salon & its not fair to the fellow Yelpers. read more

I've been going to Emmy for my manicures and pedicures for over 4 years, and she is truly the best in the business! Her work is always phenomenal--flawless nails, perfect attention to detail, and a finish that lasts. Emmy is not only incredibly talented, but also kind, dependable, and reliable. She always makes me feel comfortable and welcome, and I can count on her to do an amazing job every single time. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about their craft and their clients, Emmy is the one. Highly recommend! read more

vERY VERY WORTH IT. Will definitely go again. I am a 46 year old Guy and decided to join my Partner for a manicure and pedicure there. It was the most relaxing experience I can recall in months. The Ladies there are all very friendly but unobtrusive. They spent 1 1/2 hours on me - all for $28.00. They have KILLER massage chairs too that were dreamy and so relaxing to my tense muscles. There is no place on Grand Avenue that comes near this place in terms of getting your money worth and leaving refresshed. Check it out. read more

um, the pedicure was fine. but after paying at the counter, one of the girls who did my pedicure came up and asked me for a tip. I told her I had left her a tip at the counter (a 20% tip). she went and got it and came back to me and said I needed to give her another dollar for tip. I gave her another dollar, because I felt awkward and didn't know what to do. but i'm not going to go back. read more

My friends and I arrived before multiple other groups, yet our service repeatedly seemed to be placed on the back burner. Clients who arrived well after us were serviced before us and even received apologies for their wait, while we received no acknowledgment or explanation. What was especially upsetting was watching other women have multiple technicians working on them while we continued to wait. Some clients who arrived nearly two hours after us were finished and left before we did. While my nails ultimately looked great, the way we were treated made the experience incredibly uncomfortable. Given the clear difference in how we were treated compared with other clients, I genuinely believe race played a role. As someone who has been a returning customer, it is very unfortunate to leave feeling this way, but I will not be coming back.

This is the first place where I was taking my time and having a dilemma on what to choose so that was very refreshing. Two technicians did my fingers and toes simultaneously. They also got the massager turned on on my chairs. They did the usual cleaning, nail cutting, filling, pushing the cuticle and all of that. The bonus was they gave me a leg, neck and shoulder massage. The price was very reasonable. They do take a card but I did tip in cash. It's a small place so I recommend calling before going in. You might have a short wait sometimes. They also do designs and they are good at them. I will definitely coming back!
