It took me forever to find a reliable / consistent salon in Huntersville, but I'm so glad I finally found one! I've been a customer for about a year now & usually see Misa! She's incredible at unique nail designs and is very detail oriented, and precise! She makes great recommendations and is super creative! The staff are all friendly and thoughtful, and always greet their regulars by name. I think one of the things that stands out to me the most is the staff all seem to get along really well and they're usually always smiling or playfully joking around. It's just a happy place to be! Also- they have a great online booking system, which not a lot of local salons do. Pricing is consistent and very reasonable in my opinion. I've never been surprised by cost or what I'm being charged for because they outline everything clearly on your receipt. :) read more

Pro - my tech is sweet, doesn't rush the process and is gentle - you don't have to wait if you have an emergency and appointment Cons - the manager is always trying to make you add a service - even if they don't cut your nails, they still charge you a fee for shaping, even if you keep the same shape - they don't sanitise the equipment and use the same file on everyone! read more

(5 stars) Solar Nail & Spa delivered an amazing pedicure. The experience was relaxing, detailed, and incredibly well done. Shoutout to my technician Jenny for the great attention to detail and outstanding care. It's truly top-notch service. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. read more

Went to get a gel pedicure. Greeted warmly and immediately seated for it. The lady doing the manicure was a bit rough with my feet and yanking my feet out of the water. I understand businesses need to make money but I did not enjoy being asked multiple times for additional services and upgrades. I had tipped and was asked if I indeed tipped while she was doing some else's pedicure. The nails themselves were fine, nothing to write home about. read more

The pedicure was nice, and they do a good job. But they are not transparent with designs when they can't do them. I came in asking for pink chrome, showed them a photo and he said yes. I then told him im allergic to gel, and need to use regular polish and he just nodded his head and asked if gel again. I normally get push back on gel because they think I just don't want to pay for it vs I can't because I'll have an allergic reaction. He then painted my nails pink, and said all done. I said what no, wheres the chrome? And they said can't do chrome on regular polish, only gel. ???? Why didn't they tell me that when I asked? I would have done a different design, not just left it the random pink color. My sister also had a hard time picking designs, she wanted silver french tip, and they said no they don't have the color. Ok, so he told her to pick from the book, she debated and found a different green, he then said oh no don't have, pick again. Id say for basic pedicures it's fine, or if you can do gel you may have better chances, but elaborate designs and clear communication--this isn't the place. Manager was called over by the guy doing the nails and just said can't do chrome on regular, only gel. Then went and got her nails done. Not coming back read more

My daughter, sister and I have been coming here regularly for a few months. The place is clean and with or without an appointment we've been able to get our typical services started - acrylic full set/fill in, designs, gel polish - within 15 minutes of arrival. Service is consistent; the nail techs are patient and I think they make efforts to improve (at times you'll see 3-4 people standing around one person, Chloe, watching/ learning new techniques). read more

This is not a good a place the service is not the best.Many workers have left because of the service and they are always trying to compete with the other nail salon which is way better they are so petty I do not recommend and the prices are insane. read more

I'm new to town. I came in for fill in and pedi. Why my pedi take 1 1/2 hours. I fell asleep twice. I know the spa should be relaxing but to also have someone do your nails while having a pedicure took the relaxation out. If I go here again I'll have my services separately and pick my own person. Trying others any suggestions read more

I have been coming here for close to a year now and love it. Molly is the best for manicures of any kind. I have received gel and gel X from her along with acrylic and she nails it every time. She specializes in shaping and application. I see bihn for my pedicures and he always does a thorough job and it's so relaxing. I get the deluxe pedicure and he takes his time with the exfoliating massage and oil application. My skin is always soft and smooth after sitting in his chair. I highly recommend making an appointment to see them both for a great experience every time! read more

Molly is the best! I have been going to this salon for years and you will not regret making an appt with Molly. She knows exactly what you want and listens to make sure it is beautiful! read more

Not worth the price. The pedicure felt rushed, and the results were nothing special. I also didn't appreciate being repeatedly upsold on other services after clearly stating I only wanted a pedicure. The whole experience felt transactional rather than relaxing. read more

Omg! The pedicure I received was absolutely amazing. My feet feel rejuvenated along with my shins and calves. The amount of attention and detail put into this pedicure makes the $85 worth it. I had citrus in my foot bath and rubbed on my feet. I can't forget the hot wax. I travel from state to state for work and love trying new places. Chattanooga, Tennessee was my top but this place!

Tammy is as amazing!! I went in for the first time and the wait was short and she did my nails exactly like I asked

I would not recommend this place. I came in for just a soak off and left with acrylic still in my nail and an infection a few days later. I noticed while the tech was taking my nails off she would go back and forth between me and the woman sitting next to me using the same drill head. Very UNSANITARY. They also only do cash, cash app, or Venmo for tips. If you don't have either you're gonna have to walk across the street to the Walgreens ATM. read more

I have been looking for a nail salon to come to as a repeat customer. I have tried a few in the Huntersville area and my experiences have been terrible. At other salons I experienced nail techs that were not good at all, high prices for dip power or gel manicures, and expired products that should be thrown out but continue to be used regardless of the horrible results. Solar nails is the first salon I have been to that had none of those issues. I am now a repeat customer of Mimi and she is a great nail tech! I was worried about getting a hard gel manicure since the previous tech at a different salon did not file my nails and left my nails lumpy. Mimi assured me that she would handle the manicure properly and she did not disappoint! She knew that I was extremely worried about the service and took her time to reassure me that I was in capable hands. And she was right! I have finally found a nail tech in the Huntersville area that I would highly recommend! Also, the salon is always clean and well presented. Just by observing the salon while getting my nails done, I can see the techs truly care about one another and the business and want their customers to have a great experience. Thank you so much to solar nail spa for giving me hope again after so many terrible manicures and huge waste of money with previous salons! You guys are the best in 28078! read more

Solar Nails Spa - Gel x manicure with mermaid collection gel polish - Nail Salons Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

I went with my daughters to get mani/pedi's as part of my daughter's 16th birthday weekend. They were very welcoming and there was no wait time which was great. My older daughter and I got a gel manicure and it came out great. Unfortunately, my younger daughter's- the birthday girls - nails did not turn well at all. She was taken care of by a young lady who was in training. When I noticed how bad the manicure was, I expressed my concern and they agreed that we could come when we wanted to fix it. We agreed to this, then they asked if they could redo it before we were about to leave. We agreed to have her nails redone, they did, and it was rushed, better but not great. So my take away is, they should alert a customer, when someone in training is taking care of a customer, and if dissatisfied , offer a discount, and don't ask customers to pay before the service is completed. Also, we noticed afterwards, that they nicked her cuticle and it was bleeding to add to the experience read more

Just walked in as I'm looking for a nail place in my area. The place is huge and I got a fill and my eyebrows done. I went in with an original idea for my nails but didn't like it so she went free hand. Design came out good...just a little too Christmas-y for right now. But the nails look great and my eyebrows also look amazing. read more

I went here to get my nails done. This place was open in Sunday. There is plenty of parking. The place is nice and clean. The staff was friendly they took their time on my nails. The had about 17 pedicure chairs and about 12 seats for getting nails done. They had a variety of colors to pick from a book. They had nice music playing in the background. They had USB chargers connected to the tables where you get your nails done. I thought that was a nice touch. read more

Didn't mind waiting but can not recommend. Got a mani/pedi. My nail tech cut my small toe on my left foot and drew blood. Leaving me in pain for 4 days. Also tore cuticles on two of my fingers. Making me detrimental my own cuticles and care for damage for several days. I was loudly asked if I liked my nails. We did tip ... BUT WILL NEVER GO BACK OR RECOMMEND SOLAR NAIL SPA. read more

First time visit to Solar nails. Went for a pedicure and to get a full set of acrylic nails. The staff are really pushy with getting you to add on extras. Example, just needed a regular pedicure but was talked into the hot rocks. I just wanted to use regular nail polished but was harassed into using gel polish. Made appointment for both pedicure and vinyl nails, but was set to the side for toes to dry and forgotten and had to remind them that I was supposed to get nails done. It took 45 mins between pedicure and nails to get done. After I had nails done, I found out they charge extra to file your nails to be an oval. My experience was nit that great for the first time. read more

I am in the area and one of my nails lifted so I went into Solar Nails. The girl at the desk was as sweet as could be. I hit my nail on something, and it was very painful so she had Lynn add a little glue. They didn't charge me which I thought was so nice. I saw other customers and saw how beautiful their nails turned out . I will definitely come in when I'm in the area again ! read more

Today I went to Solar Nails. During my pedicure Khole and two other nail technicians decided to watch another technician do a nail design. I guess it was her first nail design that caused the nail technicians to gather and watch for 8 mins in the middle of my pedicure. Well that won't happen again because I won't be back. read more

New to the area and still finding my go-to spots so happened up Solar Nails when I was in the area looking for a mani-pedi. I was helped by Jenny & she was wonderful! So sweet and friendly and did a great job on both my pedicure & manicure. I appreciated that she was super communicative - I chose a nail color that looked sparkly when she put it on which I didn't like so she tested it out with 2 coats on one nail to make sure I liked it before she continued and did not seem annoyed at my indecision at all! Overall a great experience & the prices were pretty moderate as well & not too crazy. Also love that they have a reward card for visits! read more

The staff is very nice and friendly. Julie did my gel pedicure and she was amazing. I did the spa and stone treatment and it was worth it. The massage she did was great. I got color changing polish on my nails and toes, they have a regular option and gel option. They handled special distancing well, and I saw the floater worker cleaning in between people. It's best to call ahead and make and appointment, even just day of, so you don't need to wait. I called and they gave me a time within 2 hours and I'm Thankful I didn't just drop in and have to wait. Totally worth the money and I'm definitely going back! read more

I love this place I come in at least every two weeks for SNS on my nails and their pedicures are the best. I always leave feeling fresh and confident read more

Extremely disappointed in the manicure I received today. If hasn't even been two hours and the gel has already began lifting and is chipped. I spent $93 (not including tip) on a gel manicure and pedicure. I will NEVER be coming here to get my nails done again. It's over priced and of terrible quality . I don't live in the area or else I would head back to get it repaired. It's ridiculous that it's already chipping and lifting! read more

This nail salon was very unprofessional and rude. I was on time for my appointment and they were an hour in a half late getting to me. The heavy lady at the first station was eating while working on a client. I would never recommend this nail salon. read more

Called to confirm the services and price. I arrived early and was not greeted, told to take a seat, when the nail tech sat he just started doing my nails no conversation. I had to remind them what service I wanted and the other nail tech was rude and handed me a price sheet ... this is what we have. I should have walked out, but he had already began on my nails. Worst experience, I will not be returning or advising anyone else to try them. read more

Loved my nails! Jenny did an amazing job. The color I got is "Let's be friends". I wanted to get my nails done for graduation and I had some photos as an example. They exactly matched what I was looking for. Very happy with the experience. Highly recommend. I'll come back again. read more

If I could give it zero stars I would, first the crazy steps I went through for covid 19 were a little much especially when 3 out of their 6 staff members weren't even wearing the mask they forced me wear. But let's talk about quality .... I'm 6 hrs in on having my nails done and the gel that isn't "supposed" to come off is all starting to peel... I made a huge mistake not going to my regular place that I will now have to go to tomorrow to get them repainted! Definitely lesson learned as well as their pricing is extremely high $57 with a $10 tip ... LOVE WASTING MONEY read more

I purposely waited until I had been coming here on a regular basis before writing my review. The owners of Solar Nails Spa are the same owners for LeFi Nails Spa in Pineville across from Carolina Place Mall. I was a very long time customer there up until a few years ago until I felt the quality and service went downhill and I found other places to go. When I walked in I was surprised to see familiar faces and I was greeted and hugged as if I was a long lost family member. I've been coming here ever since and everyone is incredibly nice and social. The decor and furnishings are very nice and they always have a more then adequate selection of polishes, gel colors, and gel powders. I always get a gel manicure and pedicure and feel meticulously cared for. Jennifer is my go to person for pedicures but everyone is great. They offer water, sodas, and wine for refreshments and there are tv's and music playing for your enjoyment. It's also conveniently located next door to Starbucks, eateries, and a shopping center right off 77. When I come here I'm remembered when I return and that says a lot about service to me. The owners also just opened another location so clearly business is good. I highly recommend this place! read more

Really enjoyed my time here. Came in Monday afternoon at around 1pm and was one of two clients there. I was taken immediately and went to choose my color- they have a wall of OPI colors (no Essie) and also a top shelf of OPI SHINE which is a $3 up charge (I picked that one and was alerted about the charge) When I hesitated about paying $3 more just bc it's a shine polish, Thuy, my pedicurist, went to find a similar color in the normal OPI selection. I had the $35 deluxe pedi. My calluses were taken care of and I was given a choice of parafin wax or seaweed treatment. She took her time and really gave me a lot of attention. We didn't talk much and I got to read my book, which is the relaxing time I wanted! Really loved the service and will be back! read more

As usual, this is a consistently great nail salon. They have the best opi colors and have the gel and regular polish well organized if you prefer them to match. Jennifer gives the best pedicure in the state. She takes her time and it looks great. Hok did my gel manicure today and it came out beautiful as well. Great job! I almost forgot to say that Jennifer always remembers my name. That's exceptional right there. Very friendly staff and nice and clean. read more

The manicurist and I had a huge language barrier but she sure knew how to upsell services. She repeatedly badgered me to get the VIP manicure... I kept telling her no til I had to be stern. Then she kept trying to put clear gel polish on my nails I was like no just plain polish... I showed her the polish. I didn't even end up with clear/plain polish by the time I left. It cost me a fortune and my hands/feet are so dry and ruff today I will NEVER go back here. It was EXPENSIVE and not relaxing at all. read more
