Went here in the morning for a mani and pedi. Service here is great, I've gotten my nails done here before. They are not rushing, they go the extra mile with massaging hand and feet. Can't remember if they used hot stones this go round but it's one of my favorite things when I visit. They are pricey in comparison to others in the area but the service makes up for it . read more

The salon is clean and the technicians do great manicures and pedicures. The pedicures include wonderful foot and lower leg massages.

Amazing place with wonderful service!! Caring, observant and meticulous!! I would highly recommend!

I enjoy getting manicures and pedicures at Sophia. They carry the Dazzle Dry line which is quick drying and long lasting. The salon is clean and the staff are friendly. read more

Staff are lovely and they do an amazing job. I usually go for pedicures and my feet come out so soft.

Sophia offers easily the best spa pedicure in the Bala Cynwyd/Merion area. Every time I go there the staff is absolutely lovely, the pedis are just perfect, and the vibe is low-key and gentle - perfect when you're going for relaxation and self-care. I just can't say enough good things about Sophia! read more

Without reservation, they are the best. I took my elderly disabled cousin for her very first Mani-pedi and she was treated kindly and compassionately. She was happy with her nails and her first experience. They did an outstanding job with my mani-pedi as well my facial waxing. The salon is clean, calm and professional. There are polish options and every imaginable polish color.The focus is on the client only. Quiet music in the background and a no cell phone policy. They have me as a dedicated customer. read more

Went here for the first time with my daughter. I really liked the staff. They are professional and thorough and have the perfect degree of cordiality and leaving you alone to enjoy the luxury of a mani-pedi. Will definitely make this my go-to place. read more

I really want to love this place and make them my go-to spot. The first time I went was perfectly good if not meticulous. However, the last time I went the woman who did my manicure was obviously still in training, cut me twice, and said my nails were "so small" it was hard to do a proper manicure (they're normal nails). One of the fingers she cut got inflamed and a little infected; thankfully it healed on its own. I didn't say anything to her at the time because what was I going to do? Damage was already done. One of the staff quietly mentioned to me that they have been trying to hire more people for months and are very understaffed, so everyone is rushing. I feel bad for the business, which is very promising, and I know everyone had a hard time during COVID, but I can't go back somewhere that cut my hands twice. read more

I'm very picky with nail salons and this one is my go to. They are meticulous and thorough, not rushed. It's a relaxing experience and low key vibe. The staff are cordial and pleasant. Highly recommend read more

The best nail salon I've been to! I love Sarah, she pays such close attention to detail and takes her time cleaning up my nails for my gel manis! I also get my eyebrows waxed here, and I have gotten a different person every time, but each one does a great job. Everyone here is so sweet and this is the only place I will ever be going to get my nails done. Plus, if you're a student, you get 10% off your mani or pedi (gel included)! read more

I have been going to nail salons for over 25yrs and have never experienced such exceptional service. The salon/spa located in a cozy place. The salon spa is super clean, and extremely COVID-19 safe. I had a pedicure that nothing short of amazing. My eyebrows and nails. They don't miss a beat at making you feel good and relaxed. The back massage while my nails were being done was heaven. It was the perfect way to spend my Sunday morning. Thank you Sophia. I'll see you in 2wks. read more

SOPHIA - Love my nails. - Nail Salons Near Me - Merion Station, Pennsylvania

I tried this salon because it looked nice in the pictures and had good reviews but mostly because it was close by. I wish I hadn't. My dip powder manicure took 90 minutes and chipped on Sunday....I had them done on Friday. I've never had dip powder even chip before so I'll be returning tomorrow to ask for a refund. Many reviews mention that Gina is particularly good, and I did not have her, so maybe it's hit or miss. The salon is nice inside, and I appreciate that they don't have any TVs, just peaceful music. There are many colors to choose from in nail polish and a decent selection of powder. It was busy when I was there (around 4pm on a Friday) and I saw a few people turned away because they didn't have an appointment and didn't want to wait. There is a second location in Bryn Mawr so they've had success; however, I'll stick with my tried and true manicure at a different salon. read more

I feel like I've already written this review, because I've been raving about Sophia to all my friends since I was there yesterday afternoon. This place is FANTASTIC. First of all, I got a mani/pedi and it is beautiful. I'm embarrassed to say, I forget the name of the woman who provided the services (because haziness seems to be my current state during these insane times), but she was talented and super nice. Prior to arriving, I was sent a form to fill out, informing me of Sophia's Covid 19 safety practices, asking for contact tracing info for me, and asking questions to determine that I have been following smart safety practices in my life. Upon arriving, masked of course, I had my temperature taken and was given hand sanitizer to use. The place was absolutely spotless and sanitized. During the manicure portion of the appointment, there was a plastic shield between the manicurist and me, in addition to both of us wearing masks. I have been very careful during this epidemic and I have to say, this appointment felt safer even than outdoor dining. And even with all the precautions, the atmosphere was warm and relaxing. I could go on and on, but I'll let you go make an appointment. read more

SOPHIA - Chrome dip manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Merion Station, Pennsylvania

Came here for a first time after reading great reviews on Yelp. My nails were quite damaged after having acrylics on for 2 years straight and then getting a few bad gel manicures. They were able to make my chipped, broken nails look good. Super clean and relaxing, COVID precautions on point, and I was able to make a same day appointment. Definitely returning. read more

The salon is clean and the staff welcoming. The experience is professional, relaxing and lovely! They are open on Sunday which is a great asset! read more

First manicure / pedicure since spring! I chose this place because they had updated their COVID precautions here on Yelp. It was excellent - Hot stone, exfoliating, massage and very precise nail clean up and polish. Every employee had masks on, plexiglass shields, sealed packs of every item were open in front of me, plastic liners on all tubs and bowls, and they took my temp and gave me hand sanitizer when I walked in. I was also the only person there (Sunday at 4pm). Very pleasant and safe experience, I will be a repeat customer. read more

I live in Bala Cynwyd and desperately needed a pedicure. I've only lived here two years, and I've tried other nail salons in the area. Because I wasn't impressed with the other places, I was attempting to postpone this until I had time to set aside to go back to my old nail salon in Delco. I couldn't put it off any longer; the pads of my toes and my heels were cracking, despite my best, at-home efforts. Also, my polish was coming off, and let's be honest, I did not feel like dealing with that. I walked in at 1pm on a Wednesday of a holiday week. I asked if they had time for a spa pedicure, and after some talking it over, they said they would be fine. After around 5 minutes, the woman who started my pedicure handed it off to Sarah (maybe she was on break/lunch?) when Sarah came back in the work area. Sarah was lovely. She was quiet but made nice small talk when I asked questions. I don't mind when nail techs don't talk right away or constantly. I like to unwind and relax and play on my phone, and I can't always hear the person, so I'm happiest just sitting there quietly. Anyway, Sarah was incredibly attentive. I didn't feel like I needed to explain the problem areas; she found them on her own and worked hard at fixing them. I suppose this could also mean that the problem areas on my feet are grossly obvious, but I'd like to think Sarah knew what she was doing because she's a skilled professional. Either way, I didn't point anything out; I did tell her thank you a lot so that it was obvious that I saw her efforts and wanted her to know that I appreciated it. I like spa pedicures for the massage that often accompanies them. This particular spa pedicure raised the bar for anything I get in the future. First, I didn't feel like they were rushing me through because, yes, there was a steady stream of walk-ins and appointments and phone calls. Apparently, they were slammed for 1pm on a Wednesday -- possibly from the holiday -- which Sarah said was unusual for a mid-week afternoon. She said evenings and weekends get busy, which I'm stating just as a call-ahead warning for folks like me that tend to wander in after realizing their feet look nasty. Anyway, back to the spa pedicure. Second, Sarah legit used all the products in the right order (don't ask, but yes, I've had things skipped or applied oddly). They smelled like lavender and mint, the option I requested, and post-pedicure, my skin feels incredible. She also gave me a quality massage on my legs and feet, that both resembled an actual massage and lasted a good 10 minutes. During this, there was a hot towel on whatever part of my body wasn't being rubbed. Last, and this may be part of their regular pedicure but since this was my first time I can't say, she applied hot wax or oil or something similar to my heels while she painted my toes. I had no idea this was a thing, and it felt amazing. Truly, at that point, it could have been melted fat, and I would have loved it because I was so relaxed and it was such a nice touch. While the polish was drying, I received a simple massage. So, if you're still reading, I salute you. All I have left to comment on was the immaculate nature of the salon. The surfaces were clean, the tools were sanitized, and the place was bright. I wouldn't eat off the floor or anything, but I felt safe putting my feet in the basin and allowing Sarah to work on them. I'll definitely be back. After all that, I received some sort of discount and only paid $39 for the spa pedicure (listed as $49). Maybe because it got busy, maybe because it was a mid-week promotion, maybe the holiday or the fact that I'm a new customer. Who knows. All I know is that I'm not going anywhere else. read more

This is the only place that did acrylic nails that didn't fall off. Great service and atmosphere!

Super clean and professional! The manager and the technicians were friendly and provided personable services. I was there with my 3 friends and all of us were happy with our manicures and pedicures. It's a perfect spot to spend quality time and relax with your favorite people. Will definitely go back. I would recommend this place to those who are looking to get done-right manicure/pedicure for the money you pay for. We also had a 3-year-old baby and the staffs were considerate of him, too, which we very much appreciated. Making appointment is recommended. read more

Joy did an amazing job making me blonde again, and the cut was awesome too! A great experience-I'll definitely be back!

AWFUL. worst nail salon ever. they were non accommodating to what i wanted. i wanted dip with extensions with a french manicure. this is not that hard to do. they charged me 80 dollars when it should've been 65 so they lied about the price. and they had 4 different people doing my nails. they were very rude. this was the worst experience. Save ur money and go somewhere else. read more

As much as this place is clean and the people are nice their time management is awful We waited for 45 minutes with an appoint for service and after a dip manicure a few hours later four of my daughters fingers were cut with electric file which was a very rushed not careful mistake as well as the last time I was there I called for an appoint and called back to move it up and was told that was ok and got bumped by a client who was a half an hour late Because I was nice and this client was demanding that she would not wait for me to go before her tgetcserviced her and I walked out Too stressful to go here not worth it read more

Found my new nail place! The ladies were extremely nice and welcoming, I'm a bit wary when I get dip powder on my nails because every place does it differently, but this was lovely! I had Gina, and she was so sweet and did a great job. My nails were 5 weeks out on tips and powder and looking awful, I wanted to go cleaner and neater, and she did just that. While you wait for your nails to dry they even massage your back/shoulders! Nice and clean inside and they don't try to push you into paying for any extra services. Will definitely be coming back! read more

This place is a true gem!!!! I loved the atmosphere it was very quiet clean and calming. I got a gel manicure and a pedicure and it was perfect!!! I like how they use paraffin wax on my feet, i hate the scrapper things lol. I will go back while Im here from Atlanta!!!! Suzie and Sophia are AMAZING!!!!! read more

Amazing pedicure!! Loved it! So relaxing and turned out perfectly for a wedding! Can't wait to go back!

I recently moved from jersey city to the philly area and, like most ladies, needed to find a new go to nail salon. I came to Sophia's because it was the closest but I didn't expect this place to surpass my expectations so much! The salon is clean, well managed and the nail ladies are super skilled at what they do and very friendly. They give great massage as an added bonus while you are drying your mani/pedi. Thank you Sophia for a great business! read more

I had a great experience today with Gina. I was looking for a salon open on Sundays and came across Sophia's here on Yelp. I took a chance trying them out since I was in desperate need of a manicure before my work week. Gina was my nail tech and she was amazing! She introduced me to silk wrap, which is a better way to protect my nails until they get stronger. My nails look amazing and Gina was very thorough. I loved everything about my experience and will definitely be back to see Gina!!! read more

Awesome nail salon! Very clean, great service, friendly staff, definitely my new spot!

Love that Sophia opened up a salon here! So nice not to have to trek to Bryn Mawr. Same fantastic service. Can't wait to come back!

I was a walk-in for a manicure on a Friday afternoon. They accommodated me with no issues. The staff were very friendly and the place was very clean. My manicure lasted for weeks (which is impressive for me- they normally start chipping within a week). Highly recommend - great spot in Merion! read more

I love this place. I've been a few times since they opened not too long ago. It's a very clean, calming environment and the owner is so friendly! I brought my daughter here on my last visit and we both got pedicures. The ladies did a good job but my only complaint is that my tech seemed to be rushing & was a little rough. I found myself wishing I had my daughters technician, who was gentle and took her time. There were no other customers while we were there either, so there was no reason to rush. I'll be back though! read more

Went here for the first time to get SNS dip nails. Thought everything was good until less than a week goes bye and two of my nails are cracking and chipping already. I've been getting SNS nails in Atlanta for months now and this NEVER happens. I went back in and they hastily fixed two of them. The same day another one cracked... wouldn't recommend. read more

Wonderful experience! The ladies at Sophia's go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and do a fantastic job. Highly recommend!!

Sophia has done it again (she has had a place in Bryn Mawr for years)!! The salon in Bala Cynwyd is a soothing place to go and get great work done--with the heart, spirit and action of true service. Clean, attentive and thorough work. This location also has her daughter (trained and experienced in NYC) doing complete hair services. Bravo!!! P.S. my only wish is a bit more warm color and artwork--the monochrome while stylish is a bit stark-but the warmth exudes from Sophia and her staff! read more
