    Booked a mani-pedi with Jenny, who was so attentive and did a spectacular job creating exactly what I wanted!

    Gorgeous fall colors selected by Jenny! Superb as always! I've been A loyal client for 3 years, and I would be lost without Jenny and this salon. The salon is meticulously clean, their nail techs are the most talented, everyone is friendly and accommodating, the location is convenient, and parking is more than ample. I give them five+ stars!

    Cracked gel x
    Ileana F.

    I previously left a rave review for Soho Nails but needed to update my review for 2 reasons - late start to appointments and cracking gel polish. I have now had an appointment with Kim 3x and all three times my appointment has started no LESS than 15 minutes late. The second time I came in she was not even close to done the client she was working on and I waited 25 minutes. I wouldn't mind if I got a call letting me know they were late or even if I just got an apology for the delay but nothing. Just jumping in starting 25 min after the appointment time. I was prompted to write this review after coming in AGAIN and seeing Kim not even applying polish yet on a long gel x set for another client when my appointment started 5 min prior. If they cancel the appointment if you don't show up in 15 min its not appropriate to make the client wait a long time. I'm drafted this while still waiting 25 min after my appointment started. The second reason for updating my review is that my gel polish cracked off and bubbled in spots on my thumb 2 weeks after application. Upon looking it up it seems that the cracking can be due to improper nail bed prep. It made the thumb look bad enough I came in for a full gelx removal only 2.5 weeks after getting the set on. Previously I was really satisfied with the treatment but won't be back again for the gel x from Kim. For both these reasons I'll be trying a new team member or a new spot all together.

    My first experience was great, I loved everything. They also were great with my ND child. My second experience was mediocre. My pedicure was okay but I don't think enough attention was put to the calluses. The real area of concern was my manicure. I do not usually get a manicure because they tend to come off quickly. This time that wasn't the problem but just the way they were done (see photos). I didn't notice until after I left and because I rarely get my nails done I wasn't sure. I understand that keeping it back from the cuticle helps with longevity but I think this was a bit extreme. It is very quiet and calm in the salon. They are very nice. I would likely go back for my pedicure but likely not for my manicure.

    You can see where she filed to much on the side and my nail bed is a little exposed and hurts.

    I made an appointment and was seen pretty quickly. It was my first time there and honestly didn't feel very welcomed. My nail tech spent the whole time talking to two other nail techs. My nails came out okay but there are definitely not perfect like I am use to with hard gel. Also due to her talking the whole time she filed into the side wall of one of nail, so my nail bed is exposed some and it hurts. Not sure if I would go back. My nails look fine but I didn't feel welcomed and I left with a hurt nail. Update: it's been a few hours and I notice a few on my nails hurt near the side walls, so my nails were over drilled on multiple nails.

    I came back for a second visit. A different technician did my sns manicure nails, and there has not been any chipping as of now, and I know the previous service did not last a week before it started to chip away. I must say I'm pleased with my nails this go around. The service time projected on the website matched closely with the time I spent receiving service. Hopefully, I will see the technician again, and she can do my nails the next time. I appreciate the quality of service on this second visit. A major change from my last visit.

    It's always scary trying somewhere new but please do not hesitate to visit here. Staff is very welcoming and they were adequately staffed to take walk ins. Kim was able to shape my nail into the perfect almond and did a great French. I did a polish change on my toes with another staff member that also did a great job. Only downside was it was a tad pricey ...$125 for fill and polish change which I don't mind if the quality is good.

    I want to start with I love my nails. Love love love. Obsessed. Love the color, love the shape, love the service. I told the woman the front desk what I wanted and I picked out a color and it was too orange and she went and pulled some for me to look at. Brian was great, checked in throughout to see if I liked them. The only reasons I'm making it 4 stars is the price. I I've gone a few places and typically get the same thing (gel powder fill with gel polish and chrome) and it usually ranges in price from 50-70. It was 80 here, without tip. While I love my nails, I'm not sure if I'm willing to pay 80 for a fill, but I would def consider it given how much I like my nails! Request Brian, he's the best!!

    I have been to Soho 3 times. The 2nd to last time, I got gel polish for the first time with Anne. It was my 1st experience with gel polish period. It went well. However, this last time I scheduled an appt with Anne again for the removal and replacement of the gel polish. I show up a few minutes early and let the person at the front know I have a 5:15 with Anne. I also let them know I need to use the restroom and they point me to it. I come out of the restroom and this older lady says you wanted your nails done and I'm like yes, I have an appt with Anne. She says come with me so I go and she starts my nails. So, I'm thinking maybe she is just removing the gel polish and then Anne comes in later. Idk, this is my first time getting gel polish removed. However, what I did notice is she is not attentive to my nails. While she is using the electric drill on my nails, she keeps looking away at the door frequently like she's the receptionist. But she's not since they have a receptionist! I definitely felt her slip off the side of at least 1 nail during that time. She paints them. She half asses the massage and I don't get the organic spa manicure I scheduled the appointment for. When I was paying, I mentioned again for the 4th or 5th time, I had an appointment with Anne and I scheduled the organic spa manicure which I wasn't given and the lady was like "Yeah, your Leslie right" to which I said no. No apology... She was just like we can add the organic now if you want and I was like no. I just wanted to leave at that point. The paint job wasn't the greatest either. See pictures for reference. Not to mention, that nail I knew she hit the side of cracked badly in less than 2 days. I called them about it and they said I could come in to get it fixed that day or the next but it was cracked to the point, it hurt when anything touched it. Therefore, I knew going in to let people touch it to fix it would be a painful thing for me so I skipped it. Also note, a 2nd nail also cracked about 5 days after this manicure. I will go back to see Anne but I have learned my lesson and I'm sharing this for others who, like me, did not know. In the future, I will make sure when I show up, they know who I am and that I'm given the correct person.

    This is lifted so high off my nail that there is a giant pocket under it, filling with disgusting, unsanitary crud.

    I'm so torn on this review. Long story short, it really matters who your tech is. You may get a 1 star tech and you make it a 5+ star tech. Yesterday I got 1 star service. I used to LOVE this place. I went frequently when I lived closer but last year we moved 25min away and I haven't been back until yesterday when I really wanted to treat myself. When I came before, I always saw ? Ann I think her name was? She was truly the best - I would get acrylics. She would always ask if I liked the shape and would change it if I wanted even the littlest change. I'm picky, I admit it ... she would always take the extra time and I tipped well because I was keeping her a little longer. I didn't book with her yesterday because I was getting gel -x and I thought "well, they are pre-shaped, I don't need to be as picky about who does them." (Sigh) $70+ later and telling the random tech that I wasn't happy with how they looked .... I have some ratchet nails. When I saw what they looked like after application I asked for a different polish color than what I originally picked because I didn't want to draw any attention to them. The tips simply don't fit my nail bed. I am stunned that a professional allowed this to be the work that left the door. When I commented that I didn't like how they looked, I was told it's because I asked for short - almond shape. I admit, I accidentally asked for the wrong shape, but the inappropriate fit wall-to-wall is the real problem here. These tips simply do not fit my nail and I'm really disappointed that something wasn't done to fix that. In the end, only one nail fit properly. Additionally, the placement is unfortunate- some of them are lifted so high off my real nail underneath, that there is a giant pocket under it. I got them done yesterday and it's already filling with disgusting, unsanitary crud. I admittedly bite my nails very short, so it's harder to keep them from angling upward, but it's possible to have this not happen because I've had it done - AT SOHO none the less. Yes, it takes longer but for $70 I don't feel it's unrealistic to expect this not happen. Needless to say, I'm unlikely to make the drive over again and I'm going to need to remove at least one to redo it myself.

    Finally, a nail spa that exceeds expectations! It has a great sanctuary environment and provides quality services.

    I haven't gotten my nails done since the start of the pandemic in 2020, due to the initial precautions but now due to laziness. I needed to get my nails done for my friend's wedding next week and wanted to try a different nail salon than the one I used to go to in Durham. I made an appointment online which was super easy and convenient because I try to avoid phone calls if I can. I got to the salon and was seated at a pedicure chair within a minute. I was too busy looking at colors for my SNS powder that I didn't get a chance to find a nail polish color for my toes. But the nail tech said I could pick a color from the SNS swatches and she would go find the polish which I thought was very nice. So I have only gotten a pedicure once in my life but because I'm so ticklish I just didn't think I could do it again. There were only a few seconds that really made me ticklish so it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! Since I don't really get pedicures, I opted for the jelly spa one and I really enjoyed it. The nail tech who did my SNS did such an amazing job! She was so fast and the SNS is just the right thickness for me. I'm very happy with my nails!

    Basic pedi called the Soho. It was great! In and out in a hour.

She did immediately text back though. So 20 minutes later, I'm at her place getting groomed. I was back in my car after another 20 minutes. She was fast. Which was surprising to me considering I haven't been waxed in a long time. This was my first time sugaring and it was better than I expected. Since I haven't waxed in awhile, I was pretty embarrassed. But Viktoria made me feel comfortable. This isn't a typical salon, but she keeps it clean. This is not a typical spa experience, and the location wasn't what I was expecting. Sugarland is more like going over to your girlfriend's house for some grooming help. I saw her changing her gloves when she needed to get more from the jar, so that was reassuring in terms of cleanliness. While I was changing, she already started removing the disposable liner and spraying down the table already. I was actually surprised at the smoothness of my skin afterwards. I guess I'm hooked on sugaring. It's more than I'd like to pay compared to regular waxing (eg. $50).... But I think sugaring is better for my skin. I will be requesting more appointments in the future.

There are lots of amenities for you to use while you wait for your time slot, or after you are done. I've genuinely enjoyed my experiences here. So why 4/5? Well, as others have mentioned it is damn near impossible to make a reservation unless you are there in person; calling in a reservation takes forever. Also, you can only get a reservation Monday-Thursday if you are not staying at the hotel. Again, as others mentioned, the online booking tool is ridiculously inefficient. You have to click on each day to find an opening. Who has time for that? That said, they do open up to non-guests the day of IF the hotel guests don't fill all the slots. But how do you even plan ahead for that? If they upgrade the booking tool and perhaps open up a few slots for non - hotel guests on weekends (before the weekend of), this would easily be 5 stars.
