I hadn't had builder gel done in about 3 years, so I was a little nervous going in, but Lisa took great care of me. She knew exactly what she was doing and my nails came out beautiful. I got a manicure and pedicure and asked for a specific style, and she did exactly what I asked for. It came to about $100 to $120 for everything, which is fair for builder gel plus a pedi. If you're looking for someone in Knightdale who can actually do builder gel, ask for Lisa. I can't wait to come back! read more

Went in for a acrylic fill-in on the recommendation of a friend . She told me only to get my nails done by Luke and when I walked in, he was available. I must say I am very happy with my nails. The salon is very nice and well decorated, they offered water or wine, I chose water and they also gave my mom a bottle of water. This will be my go to salon when I'm visiting my family in Raleigh. read more

Serenity Day Spa Nails - Fill-in done by Luke. - Nail Salons Near Me - Knightdale, North Carolina

I came here to get a pedicure and fill in. The lady who did my pedicure did amazing. The best I've ever had. The guy who did my fill in was horrible. He nicked my nails at least four times and kept telling me to relax. I bolted out of there only to realize my nails look terrible. I would go back for a pedicure but that's all. read more

This is a nice and newly remodeled nail spa. The employees and owner are always overly welcoming. Trina is one of my favorite technicians but I have been to several and they all do a great job! read more

The owner has multiple spas, and just like the others this one is horrible as well. The staff is rude I told my nail tech my tip was broken in half, she says oh it's fine, few days later the tip breaks completely and my natural nail. So I come back to get it fixed and the guy who's usually in charge is so rude about the situation, makes me wait an obscene amount (over an hour) . I asked if he could do it says I have a customer and proceeded to do nothing walk around go outside and smoke a cigarette. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. Don't waste your time or money. *update not even four days after the tip broke AGAIN :) read more

Trina did a wonderful job for my first powder dip nails. Some friends had it done and I loved the way it looked. Gel wasn't lasting at all like it was supposed to. It seemed that she really took her time and kept wanting them to be perfect. Trina even gave me a little back rub and she has nice strong hands as she massages my hands. Powder dipped nails was $35. Qui did my pedicure. It was really nice and he was also careful trimming nails and cuticles several times. My nails are still perfect after 2 weeks and one toe has just one chip on my big toe. They are open on Sunday which was why I went there. I'll be back! read more

I came Saturday 05/18 and I asked for acrylic toes on my big toes & TINA kept telling me no because she didn't want to do it. Then she begins to talk about my feet to another employee and then when i asked her what she said and asked for her name she got nervous and tried to be super nice. then proceeded to cut my toes with the drill . DO NOT GET SERVICED BY TINA SHE IS RUDE & NEVER WILL I EVER COME BACK TO THIS SALON read more

Worst place I have ever been to!! I went for a pedicure and manicure but had to shape my own nails and tech did not even trim my cuticles! They rush you, I was in and out in 35 minutes... for a pedicure and manicure!! Do not waste your money!! read more

this salon does me right everytime! everyone inside does a great job with shaping and application but they are very expensive read more

Serenity is the wrong name. My first appointment was loud, techs talking so loud to each other you couldn't hear your own thoughts. Lin was rude and in the middle of doing my nails, got up and did an eyebrow wax not saying anything. I thought I'd give them another try but the price changed from what I was told it would be and the tech was once again rude. Over priced and rude!!! I don't recommend them. read more

I'm very happy after my experience at Serenity Day Nails today! I got a SNS fill in. The color looks great and the technician took her time. I'll be back. Thank you!! read more

I had to tell the tech 3 times that the water was cold. He wasn't paying attention and scraped the top of my foot, now there's an open area. When I pointed it out, he said he didn't do it. When I told the manager, they seemed to not care. read more

Stay away from Serenity Day Spa Nails to the left of Lowes Food in Knightdale. They don't have their prices online so I called and asked how much for a classic pedicure and powder dipped manicure and he told me $33 for a pedicure and $27 for powder. I made an apt and when I was looking at the colors the manager lady with the short hair told me $71 for powder & I told her when I called they told me $27 if I also get a pedicure. She kept telling Trina who was starting my pedicure $71 and Trina kept telling me no, not that much. The manager started yelling at me and Trina. I showed her a pic of what I was wanting b/c the manager can barely speak English and she just said $71 and kept raising her voice at me. I just sat there. Eventually I decided to just leave and not get my nails done. Stay away!!!! They don't have their prices online or on their menu so they try to charge you way more. I've also never been yelled at like this at any nail salon. The owner actually ended up calling me and he was a huge jerk too- he kept interrupting me and wouldn't let me talk. read more

I have been to this spot a lot. It seems like they are running a nail tech sweat shop rather than a salon. Everything seems rushed. I come to the nail salon to relax and not to feel rushed. The polish chips and the techs look scared. They do your acrylic too thin. I think this is a tactic used to get you to come back. Its pretty on the inside, looks very expensive but that's all you are getting is looks at times. They really have put lipstick on a pig. Pretty facility....rushed work. Take your time and do a good job on people nails and feet. Knightdale is a working community and people work hard to be able to spurge on nails. Don't take our business for granted. UPDATE: NEVER GOING BACK. Looking for a new spot as we speak. I got a pedicure last Wednesday....MY NAILS ARE CHIPPED! Just awful. ughhhh! And on top of that they started charging $30.00 for a basic pedicure. ARE YOU SERIOUS and my nails CHIPPING! naw man...just naw! read more

I usually go here but today's service was terrible. The greeter told me half an hour wait for a nail repair. I needed my nail repaired so I waited. 10 minutes later another woman comes in and asks for a full set and is told 15 minutes. Curious I ask about this and he proceeds to tell me several lies and excuses. One including that the woman had an appointment which she did not as I heard the entire conversation. Worst service! Needs new management immediately! read more

I tried this place in the hopes that not all the salons in Knightdale are lackluster and this one definitely reminded me why I only get my nails done in Raleigh. The girl that did my nails seemed very rushed and bad just got worse when my nails weren't uniformed, the shapes are all off, the paint is spotty and she kept trying to up sell me when she was failing miserably at a simple full set. Mind you all of these issues and I just got my nails done yesterday. I will have to go to another salon, in Raleigh, today to have my nails fixed. Beware of this salon! read more

-5 Stars! Please believe everything you read about this place. On my 7th day of this set I am sitting here now with not 1 but 3 nails chipped and I do nothing strenuous besides send emails all day. I truly never had issues with my hands as I can go most times 3 weeks even 4 before a new set. The tech did not care when I not once, twice, or thrice but 5 times told her I wanted solid black. You can't really win in places like this as they already have expectations setup when you step foot inside. So I have gunmetal nails and midnight blue toes. I requested a fill for my sculpted big toes and she said "oh no I'll save you money" lady idc about saving money I wanted my set to look great. The feet actually look fine but my hands are horrid! I have truly learned my lesson going to "speed train owned shops" and will be scheduling my next appt with an actual Manicurist who takes her time, does great work, & won't worry about money when I sit down! Save yourself the time and steer clear of this little shop of horrors your nails will thank you in the long run. read more

Beautiful salon, however, the quality of the work was not good. Also, upon checking out, my technician was washing someone's else feet and left to come up front to process my payment. I had to ask her to take her gloves off because I did not want her customer's germs on my debit card; she did take off one glove, then when she thought I was not looking starting using the other hand (that still had a glove on) to process my payment. I was disgusted at the level of hygiene. I asked her for sanitizer so I could sanitize my debit card and she could not understand English. One of the other technicians informed her that I wanted sanitizer, and then she gave me nail polish remover....SMH. read more

This is my "go to" salon when I can't get in at my regular one. Unfortunately the two best nail techs they had quit for some reason or another. They have 2 others that do a good job and are friendly. However they have 2 others that have ZERO personality. Ask for Paul or Jack. read more

Revision: I will never go back! 2 days after my gel manicure I had 2 chipped nails, 1 week later my nails started breaking! Just left a different salon and before I said anything about the condition of my nails, they told me my gel polish was not done, due to the poor application to the edges of my nails is what caused my nails to begin breaking. Mixed experience here! The actual mani-pedi felt nice. My tech was far too quiet and almost seemed scared. My water for both was a little cool. They tried to warm it up on the pedi but I guess they just didn't have hot enough water to really make a difference in the large foot tube. While the woman beside of me said her water was scalding hot! Where my experience went a little down hill was the ambiance. The person who I assume was the manager or owner was very upset with an employee on the phone who was calling out of work. She was yelling at her over the phone that if she didn't come to work she will not work there anymore. There must have been some sort of language barrier because then she goes yelling through the whole salon for another employee to take the phone and tell the employee if she does not come to work she will not work there. The pricing is also a bit confusing, even some of the employees don't understand it. Overall, my initial experience was decent. However, experience with the quality was HORRIFIC! read more

Well I would attach pics of my pedicure, but it didn't happen. I waited about five minutes to be seated, which is no big deal. I was asked to sit down, put my feet in water and then 10 minutes later, a worker said, he will be right over in two minutes. 10 mins latee, he came over with his caddy of stuff and added more cold water to the water that had already cooled. Then he disappeared for however long. I left. Used the towel to dry my unpedicured toes off and left. 20 mins of waiting after your feet are in the blue water is RIDICULOUS!!! What a waste of time. read more

Nails were done by a young man who did a good job. However, 3 patrons came in not wearing a mask and they said NOTHING. What made it so bad was that they sat one of the women right in front of me to dry her nails. That was clearly disrespectful to me. read more

Not impressed. Very unfriendly. Did not do a good job. I told the guy I didn't like what he was doing. His reply was "I put top coat." When I continued to complain he told me I should have said something....ummmm but I did! Then he started to complain about me in Vietnamese. The manager came over and said someone would take care of me and fix it. She started on me and stopped and he came over. He fixed it but they still looked sloppy and rushed. Will not be back. read more

The worst nail salon I've ever been to. If I could give it a 0 i would, because I came out worse than going in. I went in for a dip manicure and the top coat began chipping the next morning.. I have never seen that before in my life. The whole salon was dirty. I sat in nail and dip dust and the counter was covered. They didn't even try to clean up after themselves. I was so grossed out I should have left. I didn't even want to come back the next day to get my nails fixed because I was confident they'd mess them up more. They also made my nails so insanely thin that they all broke into tiny nubs and I could not be more upset. So angry I spent my time money and got my nails ruined here. read more

The worst experience I've ever had. Have been going here for years now and they were always okay. Last time around it was the worst experience I've ever had at a nail salon read more

Very quick pedicure. Spent 15 seconds per leg massaging. Cuticles looked terrible. Do NOT recommend even if it is convenient

Shitty place. Lady made my fingers bleed. They're super crook it. I don't recommend. They were in a rush. Me and another friend went and both of our nails were super ugly. Had to go to another place to fix them. read more

Went for a pedicure on a Tuesday evening. I was the only customer in the salon. Many attendants were idling around. I was assigned a "technician" to whom i had to remind to wear her mask. Her mask was under her chin. She was outrageously unprofessional. During the service, she was engaged in a loud chatter in her native language with other staff sitting around. She did not care to adhere to the proper procedure for the mask and it mad me feel very uncomfortable. Terrible service. read more

I will never go to this place again. They charged over $50 extra my wife's debit card. Now they continue to delete reviews. Beware of this place. read more

I had the worst experience ever. My mother and I went to get two pedicures and two manicures. When we first arrived, we informed them that we wanted a basic pedicure, and they tried to upcharge us and instituted that if we didn't get the pricer option, our feet wouldn't look good. We always get basic pedicures, so we thought they were trying to up-charging us like every other salon. It was clear they were upset with us and started doing a horrible job and speaking under their breath. The ladies doing our feet were throwing our feet and being really rough. My mother had to call them out for them to stop throwing our feet around. The person who was painting my nail dropped the paintbrush on the floor and immediately tried to put it on my feet. I told her that was unacceptable, and she told me there was nothing she could do about it. I had to tell her to change my nail color to make sure she didn't paint my nails with that dirty brush. We canceled our manicures. They had horrible customer service and horrible technique. The water wasn't warm, and the massage chair didn't work. They also charged an extra $3 on every service due to covid....$3 really...they didn't tell us this until the end. Please don't go there!!!! read more

Do NOT recommend this place. The color they gave me was not what I chose, didn't massage legs, talked and laughed the whole time. Went in expecting to pay $66 plus tip for 2 classic pedicures and ended up paying $106 because polish wasn't included. No hot towels, in a rush and nobody was there. read more

Horrible service! Had a 5:30 appt arrive a few mins late 5:38. Was told the tech who scheduled me left and I could not get my nails done. will never spend a dime here. Even the previous nail tech said they were racist and mistreat African American had never experienced this until they allowed others to get nails done after me. read more

I had to return several times for them to fix my nails. I got my nails done on a Saturday. The next day I noticed two nails were lifting. They repaired them both(thank you) next day another nail started to lift. The lady repaired (not so nice). The next day which leads me to do this review another nail lifts. I won't return. Not sure what's going on at this salon as it's a beautiful salon but the quality of work is terrible. read more

For the record I give NO stars !!! This has been the worst experience ever! Lee did my lashes on Saturday May 28th and let's just say bu the time I got home, I was missing some!!! The glue she used burned my eyes. I'm talking to people and how embarrassing is it to have lashes falling while I'm talking!! By the end of the day , the middle part of my right eye lashes were gone! I called the shop, they told me to call back, I was put of town by the time so I couldn't go back. Called back Sunday, by that time both sets were gone. And again, Lee Lee told me to call the manager back. This went on for over a course of 3 days. I decided to chalk it up and except $45 going down the drain. I would not recommend anyone to go to this shop. Its a nice set up but services are trash! That was my first and last time! Lee you did a disservice to yourself by providing horrible service to a first time customer! I went right back to my tech (she was extremely busy on that Saturday and I was on a time restraint) and needless to say she did GREAT! I guess thats what I get for cheating on her! ... but go see her- MINA @ CAPITAL ONE NAILS!! She puts Lee to SHAME! read more

I came and ask for a gel pedicure and got regular color. They were going to fix it with gel but I didn't have time to sit for them to redo it. I let it dry for an hour before I touched it. I got home and checked to see if it were dry and it cake of it just wiped off on 4 toes. I went back Monday for them to fix it and they charged me 20 more dollars for the gel from the regular polish. So what did I get for my inconveniences?? Nothing! The young man who did my pedicure was probably just learning and he did a great job with my scrubbing my feet, just not the polish. I also think there might have been a language barrier and he didn't understand me. He did not speak much English. The manager wasn't very nice and I still got charged like it was done right the first time! They fixed it with the gel polish. I told the manager that I would pay the 20 dollar gel difference but I would not be back!! Just thought I would write this review to give everyone a heads up. read more

I recently moved to Knightdale and have been searching for a pedicure spot. As a member of Planet Fitness I saw Serenity from the outside and it looked nice. I tried another spot on the opposite side of the road, by IHOP, and I much prefer this business. I did a basic pedicure and it cost $27. The property is aesthetically pleasing and nicely decorated. The music was relaxing and I am pleased with my pedicure. I will definitely return for my next pedicure and believe I have found my spot in Knightdale. read more
