I'm back with another review of this salon! I love this place…read more After a year of coming here I have had my nails done by many of the different nail techs and each time I have been impressed by how much they seem to care about the job they are doing. With that said, there are varying levels of skill at this salon. Just like you would find at any salon. You can pick a specific nail tech of your choosing if you prefer. Cynthia, the owner, is wonderful. It's not easy to run this sort of business but she does a great job and genuinely cares about the customers and her employees. You can tell by the regular laughter floating around the place. I will keep coming to this local salon for a long time to come.

I was so excited for my pedicure once I landed in Durham. I called two days in advance and made an…read moreappointment for 5pm on 7/3. I walked in and let them know about my appointment, I saw them check their book and confirm I was on there. She then told me to check in on the kiosk and pick my color. I followed the woman to a pedicure chair where she informed me that I shouldn't sit there and it was for someone else. About two minutes later, a woman walks in and thanks her for squeezing in an appointment. Wow. She tells me to go speak to the manager. He asks can I wait because there are three other people ahead of me, I said no I really couldn't and that's why I made an appointment. Very, very disappointing experience. Why let me check in for my appointment but then don't service me? Why was another woman with an appointment serviced before me? Why was there no real solution offered except wait for an undisclosed amount of time? I thought people were friendlier down south but clearly the businesses are not. 0/10.

Thrilled with the beautiful aesthetics of this place- the lighting, the brand new massage chairs…read more(everything inside looks brand new)- feels very bright and clean. Loved that they offer over 10 different pedicures, and my absolute favorite part is that you can add on a timed massage, to ANY one you pick (up to 20 min, for an extra $25). The salon offers LOTS of different colors, and different brands of gel polish. I got a gel manicure and pedicure, and I felt that my technician really took her time and did a great job. She did 3 coats without me asking, because the color was MUCH lighter than was in the bottle- I appreciate small things like that. $100 for both (and the extra massage)- I will definitely be back here!!! Note- only street parking. Wasn't hard for me at 11 am on a week day, but not sure of the parking at later times in the day or on the weekends. Have heard there is a nearby parking garage (but didn't see it). Lots of construction going on, on the same street as well.

I went to Unique Nails late on a Sunday (around 3:30 pm) hoping for a quiet and relaxing…read moreexperience. Instead, the experience was disappointing. The salon seated a child right next to me who was watching videos on her phone without headphones. The volume was loud enough that I eventually had to ask the parent to turn it down myself. He became upset, which made the situation uncomfortable. This should not have been my responsibility. The salon has rules about using headphones, and they should be the ones enforcing them so customers can enjoy a peaceful environment. I come to a nail salon to relax, not to manage other guests' behavior. Because of this experience, I won't be returning.

Doing pedicures, manicures, and artificial services are my services, but being able to offer privacy so that clients can do work on their device's, or talk, or simply chill to their choice of music is a bonus while I pamper them with my services.

However, both times, after I had arrived at the location (a 30+ minute drive) I was told that, for some reason or another, they could not complete my appointment and I would have to reschedule.

Wait till your appt starts and all will be well. This place very much caters to regulars so they don't really give a shit about one-offs. So be patient and you will find they are super friendly one on one once your appointment starts. $14.50 for reg manicure, $6 for a simple paint as of Aug. 2018

Great nail salon in North Durham! This is my 3rd time here for a pedicure and it's been perfect…read moreevery time. I highly recommend Mindy. She is very thorough and gives a great massage, too. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the smell from gel manicures is very strong. I'm chemically sensitive so it's hard for me to breathe. Better ventilation would help.
