It was fine. I got a pedicure. Nothing special. The tech was nice. She didn't say much. She was kind of aggressive my feet. Pushing them back into the water. read more

I love how everyone in this salon is treated well by the owners Jade and Ted. It's like seeing family every time I go. All it the nail technicians are talented, they keep the salon clean, and the music isn't too loud. read more

I made an appointment at this nail spa to fix a dip manicure that I got at a "high-end" nail salon in Raleigh. Their reviews were 50/50, but I thought I would give it a chance. My nails were done by Anna, she was so thorough, took her time, and paid attention to every detail. I was there for an hour and a half, but it was worth every second and every penny. I am very pleased and will definitely return to see Anna at the salon again. read more

Why does there have to be a man lounging around in the pedicure chair next to me--singing and listening to music aloud? When I'm at work, I'm working. Also, no "frozen" soundtracks playing please. Very annoying. Not sure if I'll be back read more

Great experience!! Walked in on a busy Friday evening and they got me right in. Had a gel removal and manicure and they did an excellent job!! The hand massage at the end was so relaxing. I'll be b read more

my daughter and I went to get 2 pedicures I needed an acrylic fill in and my daughter wanted acrylic overlay on hers. we went with the $42 pedicures nothing special. our total was $258... she got blue French tips I got basic white French tips. my daughters pinky toe overlay came off the same day we got our feet done! I will be returning to get them to fix it. you charge prices like $258 and the work comes off the same day?? absolutely ridiculous. read more

Lovely! Friendly and attentive staff, great color selection, reasonable prices. Big fan.

Updated: since our first trip, I've been back twice and seen Nicole both times. Her attention to detail and friendly personality are equally as amazing as our experience with John the first time. This is definitely our go to place from here on out! We went today for the first time and will ABSOLUTELY be back! I loved the mandarin pedicure and John was so great! Very friendly and the massage and pedicure were just amazing. So glad to finally have found a good place in the area read more

Very accommodating and friendly employees. There were three of us, one a 7-year-old, and we got pedicures and manicures, and they were very well done! Definitely recommend this group/company. Thanks! read more

No wait time. Get your choice of beverage. Many different types of pedicures based on the menu. I got the deluxe and it was great!

So, I brought a picture of how square I wanted my nails to be. They ended up doing a coffin shape. Then they redone them and this is what it turned out to look like. Blotchy, and not the shape I was asking for again. Redoing it made them way shorter than I wanted as well. I decided to tell them they were fine because I was tired of correcting. Won't be back. read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! If I could give this place 10 STARS I would! I've been doing my nails for 5 plus years (I'm very picky) and I've never been to a place like this. First Tesa (manicurist who helped me) was so patient. She helped me pick between baby blue and yellow. She took her time, she cleaned every single nail and took all the cuticles off. She painted my entire nail plus the sides (which other nail salons often miss). She offered me water and a little snack. She asked me if I liked the nail color and was so considerate. And to top it off she lotioned my hands which left them silk smooth. The place is extremely clean and the price is excellent! All of the tools were clean and the towels were nice and white. Workers are enthusiastic and happy and boss is very nice too. I finally found a place I can relax and get a good nail service. I live in NY but I come to North Carolina a lot, so I will definitely continue to do my nails here. read more

I went there for my first time today and I got seated immediately. There was no wait. Jade did my nails so quickly and cleanly. I showed her a picture of what I wanted to have done and she matched it perfectly. I'm definitely going back. read more

Really disappointed with this salon. Scheduled an appointment for 5:30 for SNS mani and polish change on toes. Didn't get done until after 7:00. I was also charged $57.00 for this- more than any other salon I've been to! 6 days later.... 3 nails have corners broken off. Don't mind paying higher price for a good service but this was not worth it! read more

in all i paid $140. for gel pedicure as well as a full set. i stated that i work until 8 everyday therefore I would not have time to come get them redone. They told me it was nothing they could do. 10 out of 10 WOULD NOT RECOMMEND . read more

Slow. For a mani and gel nails I was there almost two hours. There are generally only 3-4 people working. The quality of my nails is usually pretty good. But they are more expensive than most only other salon in the Hillsborough/Durham/Mebane area. read more

Dropped in today without an appointment and immediately received service. The work was excellent and the salon was comfortable and relaxing. I enjoyed the pedicure chairs and the comfortable manicure stations. The technician that worked on me was a pleasure to speak with and did excellent work. I will definitely return. read more

I'm new here to NC and have a myriad of experiences to draw from in my travels, so I understand when finding a good place for self care that people will recommend what they liked. But that doesn't always translate into an experience I, personally, will enjoy. I'm a busy mom, on my feet all day. I work from home painting and wood-working, so I rarely take care of my nails like I should. I can't maintain a manicure so I cannot speak to whether you'll enjoy any of those services here. But for a pedicure, this was a top-notch experience. On the rare occasion I'm able to gift myself the time for some self-care with a pedicure, my needs are simple: I want the massage and the scrub. I'm hard on my feet, this is where I come to undo that stress and damage, not just walk away with pretty toes. John did an excellent job from the moment I walked in. As I sit here relaxing, they are about to close and have allowed me to just chill in the chair while they accomdate other clients who asked to be fit in during their last hour. I can overhear how attentive their service is, even with 15 minutes left in their work day. All that to say, if you are looking for a clean, relaxed, welcoming environment where the staff takes pride in their work and will listen to your needs, this is the place. I'll be driving up to Hboro from now own for those much needed pedicures. read more

Excellent customer service and my nails look amazing! A lovely addition to Hillsborough!

The 4 stars are for the high quality pedicures by Tamin and Andy. Unfortunately management needs to plan and manage time better for their customers. We had appointments for 3 pedicures at 5:15 on a Wed. They were busy but didn't start the first of the 3 pedis until 6, the second till 6:30 and the third till 6:40. We had to cancel our dinner plans due to the lengthy delay in the start of pedis. It is a shame. The nail specialists were great but our time is valuable. A 10 or 15 minute delay is understandable. read more

I went to the nail salon to get my acrylics removed. The lady that I had was not listening to me at all when I said she was hurting me and she continued to try and rip off my acrylic nails with just a spare piece of a nail. In addition, she didn't use acetone to try and take off the nails. As a result, a piece of my actual nail broke off. I would definitely not recommend going here. read more

Best pedicure experience I've ever had. I always hate the buffing part because it tickled but this was so gentle that I almost fell asleep!

Today I went for the first time to get a Brazilian wax. In the past I'd go all the way Hillsborough, NC to Southpoint to get a wax. Now for the same price, its just minutes away. Its so good to save on time. The girl that did the waxing was very kind, gentle, and thorough. My only tiny complaint was the wax was left a little sticky at the end. But that soon wore off. I really liked this girl and her style. Having a new place to get mani/ pedi and all waxing done .. within minutes..... is such a little gem. read more

I've been going here to get my nails done on and off for about 8 months. My first couple of times were awesome but the last two times I've had my nails done (first was the powder dip and recently on sept 28th I had gel/sns done) they have chipped within 3-4 days. I don't have time to come back to have them redone as I travel every week for work. I'd at least expect them to last a week or so. This past experience felt rushed by the technician, especially when she did my hands. For $75 I expect better quality Won't be back again read more

What a gem! I spent a few hours treating. Myself here after my friend Lauren recommended this place to me. I've tried other salons in the area, and they have not impressed me. When getting my acrylics removed, another salon removed part of my nail and made my finger bleed. None of these things happened at Secret. I got an acrylic French manicure with gel powder and a gel pedicure. My stylist was so kind and skilled. The massage chair and complimentary leg massage helped me recover from a long work weekend. The color selection is great, and they ensure your nails will last or your money back. I can't wait to go back for a fill in a few weeks. read more

Wife went there and had a horrid experience. The wouldn't take the time to properly take off the gel nail polish that they put on a few weeks earlier. Instead they tried to paint over some of the residual with a different color. They tried to cut her cuticles even after she asked them not to. Won't be going back or recommending to anyone else. read more

I went to this salon over two weeks ago and my nails still look amazing! I received a white gel manicure and a French pedicure and I can honestly say this is the best salon I've ever been to! I live in Chapel Hill and will he go to Hillsborough to Secret Nail Salon whenever I need my nails done! I plan to go back this upcoming week and am very excited! read more

Went on Friday morning got gel on toes and SNS on fingers. The SNS on finger nails didn't even last a day before they started chipping. Went back in Saturday afternoon and had two nails fixed only to get home and have more break. Had to cut my nails down myself on Saturday night cause they looked bad. Called and was told just to come in so they could fix again. Told them no I just wanted a refund for the finger nails and they refused. I would not recommend this place at all! Over priced and not worth it. read more

Very pleased! Nail salon had a delightful ambiance. The nail technician was attentive and did a great job on my nails. Greeter/ owner sat me down and offered me a beverage! Such great service. I will definitely be back. read more

Very painful set of acrylic nails two hours later cracks and bleeding on four nails.excessive filling and buffing

I went in asked for a pedicure was told to take a seat it would be 2 to 3 minuets but I sat there for 15! Got up and left and no one stopped me or said a word! Will never go back no way to do business! read more

Horrible! Went last week for mani/pedi John raved about SNS nails. Said they would last at least 2weeks! They didn't last a week! Service very unprofessional. When I spoke with owner he apologized stated staff was new & hadn't been trained! He offered to charge me 50% to redo service!! Don't waste your time or money going to this place! So many other nail salons in area that provide quality professional service Orchid nails has Kim Fancy Nails has Lolita they do AWESOME work that lasts more than a week! NOT a spa experience! read more

I had been going to Secret Nail Spa for quite a while. I always get a pedicure AND something for my hands, whether it is acrylics, gel or most recently SNS and sometimes even eyebrow wax. After today though, I won't be back. I used the sample nails to pick my color but when it was finished, it was nothing like the color on the sample. Even the lady beside me saw the differences and agreed it was not the correct color. When I questioned it, I was told that the sample color "faded" due to the sun. Not true. The sample was pink. What I got was a purple color. What is likely the truth is that the color on the sample was mis-labled. I told her that that was not at all what I wanted before my trip in 48 hours and getting it fixed was going to be darned near impossible with the rest of my schedule before my flight leaves. She said to just change my toe color (but again, I did NOT want purple on my fingers!) She knew I was not happy at all but instead of at least offering to make it right finanically, she charged me the full amount of the services so I've wasted $85 for services that are going to have to be redone in less than 2 days not to mention the 2.5 hours of time wasted there. I've been a great customer, not only paying for my own services but coming with my mother and my daughter and almost always paying for all of us, and I tip! I'm finished and extremely irritated that that is how it was handled. Poor customer service. She even painted a "new nail" while I was drying and tried to pass it off. I saw her paint it. Of course it would now be the same color I received. It was not the color though that was on the initial nail in the samples set. Yes, I know these are first world problems but for the $85 spent to have nice nails and toes that would be in the same color family, I do expect to get what I paid for not just receive excuses as to why they aren't what was expected. I'm very disappointed. Had she done something financially and only charged for the pedicure, that would have at least been better than nothing but that wasn't even an option as she just ran my card for the full amount. I would have written it off as mistakes happen and paid someone else to fix it. I hope it was worth it to them because I won't be back nor will I pay for my daughter's or mother's there again. I'll drive into Durham first before coming back there and I guarantee everyone I know will know what happened too. VERY disappointed! read more

the person that did my nails, if i remember properly was nina (i'm not sure if that's how you spell it or not). i've been trying to find a nice place to go and get my nails done for a while now. i called about 10:45am to see if they could fit me in at 11:30am, and they were able to. even if you couldn't, i would've understood because it was so last minute. they were super polite and were able to fit me in. i arrived at the time of the appointment and the atmosphere was very clean and nice. they had a really nice selection of colors that i was able to choose from, so it took me a minute to pick. as i was done picking my color and sat down, i was offered water, soda, or wine. of course i chose the wine, ha. my favorite part was probably how they have you dry your hands off with hand towels and not paper towels. my overall experience was great. it was $35 and then a tip was given. the price is definitely affordable and cost a less then some mail salons. DEFINITELY GOING BACK. read more
