    First time here and I was really satisfied. Ken is very dedicated and took his time to do my nails. Finally found my guy in South Philly! I also had a pedicure. It was a basic pedicure but great overall. I will be return for my refills!

    I really enjoyed my first time at south philly nails and I will be going back. I believe it was Ken who did my mani/pedi and he was wonderful! I got the spa pedi for my bday and it was so relaxing! I got dip on my nails and it lasted 3 weeks no chipping! Very simple inside but clean and quiet!

    Went to South Philly Nails for the first time and was pleased with the service. I scheduled an appointment prior to going and I had the best experience. Amy and Katie did my mani/pedicure. Both did an amazing job. I am so satisfied with their work. I was able to get the nail art that I wanted and it was done perfectly! I will definitely be a repeat customer.

    South Philly nails is gives you exactly what you would expect. Fast service, affordable, no frills, and good quality. I've tried more expensive salons closer to center city and just keep coming back here for the value. My acrylic sets typically last 3+ weeks from this salon. Sang and Katie have been my favorites so far - good shapes and quality. I recommend going on a weekday if you can- I've never waited in line.

    I've been going to this nail salon for about a year and I've never been let down. The nail techs (almost all) are super kind and approachable. Whenever I come in i dont really mind who gets to do my nails. I've always came out with really nice sets. I usually get acrylic with polish and in my opinion it's way worth getting regular polish than gel on acrylics. Why? I've tried gel once and the only difference was the amount of layers and a special uv lamp. Just recently I got the usual, regular polish on acrylics, but this time I asked for gems on my accents. Can't say I'd get them again but maybe I'll try with the nail techs who are said to be more experienced in nail designs (Ken). Overall I'm pretty satisfied with my set.

    My chipped nail polish

    This nails salon was nice inside and clean but the worse job ever! They're over priced and they have cheap product and it doesn't last. I usually go to city nails on Snyder but I needed my nails done soon for me and my sisters and they were available so we went here and for a refill I was charged $40, then I have naturally long nails so I just get overlay on top to protect them and they still charged me for length and shape and my nails were already shaped they just needed to be filed. After a week my nails broke which mad me very angry because my nails never break. Also I always get gel French tip on my toes and it usually lasts a month I went here and a week later the white tip fell off my toe nail. The worse! And I. Total I paid $100 for my toes and a refill on my nails.

    very unhappy with my experience here. my nails are different lengths and shapes. the nail tech noticed her mistake with my thumb nails and tried to correct it only to do it again. my left thumb is obviously shorter than the right. I paid 75 dollars for a full set and pedicure to only have to pay for my nails to be done some place else. oh and she glued part of her gloves to both my thumbs and and then used her nail file to try to get it off. the glue burned and the file hurt. I'm never coming here again.

    Love love loveee my nails!! Ken did amazing!!

    Ken did amazing on my nails!! I showed him a picture of what I wanted and he executed it above and beyond my expectations!! I highly recommend south philly nails!! Ask for KEN!!

    Came here because I was running late and wouldn't be able to make it to work if I went to my usual salon in Center City. It was 3PM on a weekday and it was pretty busy but we didn't have to wait long. Everything went well and my nail tech was young and so kind, making sure I was well taken cared of. She proceeds to do my gel nails and unlike my normal salon, does not allow the gel to sit under the light once she is done painting the opposite side; when the light would turn off, she'd immediately switch hands which does not allow the polish to sit, because the light makes it last longer, obviously. They looked fine and I paid but after I had left and was in the car, I glance at my nail and it had practically melted off! I was so upset, because the whole reason of getting my nails done was for the next night's event. Throughout the night, some other nails proceeded to fall off and I knew this couldn't have been my fault because this had never happened to me before and you could see that the first layer of gel was not well dried and was too weak to hold the rest of the polish (my guess). I went back the next day, and explained my situation and they redid my nails for no fee and there was a big difference in the nail tech (different one) than the day before. Although it could have been a mistake, I don't think i'll be heading back here again unless it's as urgent as the situation I had that day. Unfortunately wasn't able to get any of the nail tech's names either.

    Coffin shaped nails, lined and two gemstones.

    I started coming here a few months back just looking for a place to get my nails done. Since my first visit, I've never gone anywhere else. The last two time i went Jenny did my nails and i love them. Her shaping is pretty good and her attention to detail was on point. This place is clean, the technicians are friendly, and they accepted customers last minute. Already planning my next set.

    Just got a gel manicure. I'm not sure how long it will last since they did not let it properly set between coats. They also caused me to bleed during the manicure and didn't offer a discount (I would not expect it to be free but...). I didn't see their sterilizing machines, so I hope they have correct procedures in place. I'll keep it medicated and hope for the best. They also asked if I needed my brows done as I was paying. I'm growing them out on purpose but it seems rude to offer this. I'll update this review if it doesn't last as long as my typical gel manicure does.

    Jenny is my girl  .. best nail , best eyebrows, specially eyelashes.. the number 1 nail salon in south Phily .

    The price is a little high but worth every penny . They take their time to work on you , great service, friendly and really clean . If you want eyebrows or remover ingrown toes nail ask for Ana . Looking for nail ask for Andy , ken , or Jenny .. recommend to everyone to get a try !!!

    See all

    I only try to go here at off times because they tend to get really packed. I love the way they do my nails! Ask for Molly she is the best!
