Love the service here; they take care of your actual nail health vs using a ton of filing.

I've been a loyal client of Sugarcoat's Midtown location, but I decided to give the Buckhead spot a try since I had business in the area. Initially, I was optimistic, but honestly the experience left me with mixed feelings. My cuticles were overtrimmed to the point of drawing blood several times, and one of my toenails was cut too short, causing some discomfort. The tech attributed it to me having "thin skin," but as someone who keeps their cuticles soft and has never had issues with bleeding during nail appointments, I found that explanation hard to accept. Also, maybe my techs were newer and still building experience, but the filing on my nails seemed excessive, leaving them thinner and weaker than usual, and that felt unnecessary for a simple gel manicure. Now for the positives. TO THEIR CREDIT, my techs worked on my hands and feet simultaneously, which made for a quicker visit which fit very well into my busy day. They did give a small discount due to my sore cuticles. And the Buckhead location is undeniably beautiful, with a bright and welcoming atmosphere. Being there just makes you feel pretty. I'd be open to returning if more care is taken with cuticle cutting and nail filing. read more

Sugarcoat - Not a bad job. And I like the color. - Nail Salons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Had not been to this location in a long time and decided to give it a try again. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Went with a friend and made appointments in advance, but arrived and had to wait quite a long time because there weren't a pair of pedicure chairs next to each other available. The nail tech doing my manicure did a horrible job. I had to ask multiple times for her to paint the sides of my nails and was met with a rude attitude. It was sloppy and uneven. I was finished long before my friend because both techs assigned to me rushed, for no apparent reason, because there weren't clients waiting. If a nail salon is guilty of the 3 'R's - Rushing, Rude, and Rough - I deem them a NOPE. There are too many salons in this city to endure that experience. Don't waste your time or money on Sugarcoat Buckhead!! Go somewhere else! read more

I've filled up two loyalty cards from getting consistent services here, so it's about time I give them a review! Location and Parking I've been to 3 locations of Sugarcoat, but Buckhead is my favorite. They have a great polish selection, the interior is beautiful, and parking is easy. Venue and Atmosphere When you walk in, there is a wall of polish to your left. Each color is displayed with the bottle of regular polish, gel polish, and SNS powder side by side. The entire display is arranged by color, making it well organized and beautiful. The color scheme is calming and it's never very loud, despite being busy often. Food and Beverages Service The salon has massage pedicure chairs and stationary chairs where you place your feet in a sink. I opted for a massage chair this time. Unfortunately the massage function was broken, and all of the chairs were full so I could not switch to another chair. I told the front desk at the end and I received a discount on my service. I always get a gel mani and essential pedi. I've had several nail techs... admittedly I book most of my appointments at the last minute and have to take whatever is available. This has never been an issue, as they are all friendly and do great work. Verdict I've become a loyal customer and can't wait for my next mani/pedi! read more

First time going; will return and definitely recommend. The salon was very clean and had a relaxing atmosphere. Excellent service from my technicians - Tony for SNS/mani & Rose for pedicure. They didn't try to upsell. The price online when I made my appointment was the price charged. (I have been a victim of bait/switch by other salons.). Sugarcoat also has a loyalty card. read more

This was the worst appointment of my life. The staff was so rude. I booked a builder gel appointment and they wanted to up charge me per nail. I have never been to a salon that charges to paint each nail, which I raised questions about. At this point the tech had already began drilling my nails and stopped and they told me I could come back. I explained I didn't want to leave with my nails unfinished so I asked for someone else to please finish. The owner gave attitude about this. The gentleman who finished was fine but he still do not do what I asked. They wanted to charge me for several services I did not ask for but the first tech just did. I asked for a price break down and they told me things change when I said I had been here before. The owner was incredibly rude and honestly I am embarrassed at how I was treated in front of other guests. Do not recommend. The worst customer service I have ever received. The attitude from the whole staff was awful. Its unfortunate as I have had great nail techs in the past. read more

It's shame to receive such lackluster service at a beautiful nail bar on a Monday. First I noticed how a white woman was offered water. I could look overthink, however, after reading another review. I can't. This same woman was conducting some sort of call. I asked if they can ask the woman to take it down a notch. I'm here first thing in morning for tranquility, not to listen to someone's phone call. Two stars for cleanliness, online booking and parking. One star for my nails. The colors are stretched thin. Basically lined with acetone. If someone wants to up sell my nails, they should at minimum know how to shape them. My nails had thin full coat of polis on them, poor shaping and she had to call someone to finish the shaping. I had to ask for lotion at the end of my service. Which was the last straw. Thought I'd give them another chance. * if you like plastic liners they don't use them. Chairs are old. They don't use the cute chairs they advertise. read more

Love love love this place. First day I came in I was having a really rough day. Ana with her amazing personality made my time at Sugarcoat relaxing and took my mind off of my situation for a little while. Not to mention she did AMAZING on my SNS and pedicure. After that visit I knew that Sugarcoat would be be preferred salon from then on. My set from Ana lasted wonderfully. I came back today for another pedi and SNS mani + tips and design. Ana delivered once again. She executed the design perfectly! read more

PISS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE Experience at Lenox Mall Location This is another typical salon that's been bought out by people who can't figure out how to treat EVERYONE with respect and dignity. This place is under new management and the new manager made a huge scene using a very loud obnoxious voice when I expressed that my gel polish was a bit too thin on my toes. As far as I'm concerned everyone that works in the salon should be able to speak English, especially a person who is managing a salon. The Asians began speaking in whatever language and waving their hands in a very dismissive way, simply unprofessional. I don't care how empty and convenient this location is, I will NOT be back here, EVER. I don't recommend this salon at Lenox mall. I told the very sweet nail tech thanks for her services but I will simply pay for my services and leave because I was uncomfortable with the tone in which these people spoke to me. She in turn told the manager what I said. No apology for the offense at all. I paid 96USD for a gel polish change. read more

Sugarcoat - My manicure was good but this polish change, not so much. - Nail Salons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Loving the newest Sugarcoat location! This salon is located in the same plaza as the new Savi on Pharr road. There is parking right out front of the building and on streets. Like the other sugarcoats this shop has a posh interior and the attendants have great attention to detail. The shop is also pleasant and quiet, not the usual running around and loud chatter of other salons. All of the equipment appears clean and well maintained and much of the furniture is new. I had a sports pedicure($35) which was great and lasted about an hour. Definitely make a reservation! The shops closed at 7pm on weekdays so walking in is unlikely to work. read more

Probably the best mani pedi I've gotten in a long time. Very attentive, nice massage, not rushed. Highly recommend.

Visiting from California, took a walk and saw Sugarcoat. I was looking for a nail salon and when I walked in I knew I found the spot for me. The layout is very modern and sleek and everything was clean. Leo did my gel pedicure and dip manicure and now I don't want to go back to California, haha! I requested natural color with white French tips for my toes and natural color dip for my nails with white designs. I asked him to make the dip thin and he made it super thin. I showed Leo the picture of the designs I wanted and he was able to replicate the picture exactly. He made it even better by adding rainbow cat eye to my ring finger nails! When I come back to Atlanta I will be coming back to Sugarcoat to get my nails done and asking for Leo. read more

Sugarcoat- Pharr Road I have been coming to this shop for over 15 years. I have brought my entire family and spend over $500 a month. I started with Sugarcoat when that had one shop in the Vinnings. I was disappointed in the services I received last week . The quality has down to a zero. I would not recommend and have to agree with others, they are thinning the polish out to stretch. The Sns is not holding its 10 day guarantee. I started with sugarcoat because of the service and was willing to pay more. However, They won't honor their guarantee anymore. Please look elsewhere. You won't get the service Sugarcoat is known for. Nonetheless, I got my fill in done on April 6. However, the next day my nails began lifting and my hair was get caught underneath. Unfortunately due to the holiday I was out of town for Easter weekend and returned on Tuesday April 11 to express my concerns. They asked me to return the next day since ViVan was not available that day. however, I didn't not make it because I was not feeling well and asked to come later in the week. I thought I was doing what was best for me and others. However upon return later that week they want to charge me again and offered me a 40% discount. I did not like how this was handled when I already paid $50 the week before. Then they only wanted to do another fill in. I insisted on a full set. When they took my acrylic off, my nails were wet from the moisture. They should be ashamed. All my nails were broken and they charged me for the nails they broke when taking off. I had to cut all my nails off because they were damaged. I going to wrap this up my saying I paid double what I normally pay. My bill today was $65. They ran the price up to compensate for the 40% lost. Sugarcoat on Pharr road should be ashamed of the service they provided to a long time customer that has been loyal for over 15 years. This should have been handled in-house. I normally don't do this. But I thought this review was needed. I will not be returning. Note the receipt did not even include a service. They just came up with a price. Respectfully, Dillard read more

I cannot recommend Sugarcoat Buckhead enough because they introduced me to the one manicurist who can read minds. Leo is absolutely phenomenal at what he does. He is meticulous about his work, listens to exactly what you want and even better, is a great guide if you're not sure. I've been happy with my nails for more than two years and come see him every three weeks religiously. My nails never chip. Ever!!! I get SNS and he seals it with a coat of clear gel. Genius. And not only is he incredible at what he does, but he's the absolute sweetest human being. Don't know what I'd do or where else I'd go! Highly recommend. Thanks, Leo and Sugarcoat Buckhead! read more

Gabby made my pedicure very entertaining. She is a great person to have a conversation with. The place is super cute.

I have been here twice, and both experiences were so great. It was honestly a breath of fresh air compared to where I've been. The establishment is obviously beautiful, they take care of the place nicely too. I've tried different techs both times, and I was a happy customer both times. I got SNS. The first time it was thicker then I liked, but I probably should have expressed that I liked it thin. The second time, I did and it was perfect. I would deff recommend this place. I have been hopping around time looking for a decent nail salon. And this is my go to place right now. I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly lol. Deff give this place a shot :) read more

Sugarcoat - My fun ombre nails!!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Just got my first brow wax after having previously had a great gel manicure here. I said specifically, "just tidying up around the edges" and she took off half the width of my eyebrow. I have always been complimented for my eyebrow shape and have had them done for 10 years. I am devastated. They are uneven, razor thin and she left wax on my forehead and a clump of four hairs under my now impossibly thin brows. Somehow they are widest at the very end? Thank god I have months of wearing a mask. I don't even want to show my boyfriend. I've always had relatively full brows so this is so drastic. I know they were over booked and busy, but I feel like she genuinely didn't care that she was making me look terrible. My self esteem is shot. read more

I called for a last minute appointment because I had a broken acrylic nail , they managed to get me a last minute appointment.

the one in Buckhead is quite dirty and most of the staff is below average. I was going only because of Monica who is outstanding. I went last Friday and they told me Monica moved to another location (even if I booked with her). I had Marianne (or Mary Anne not sure): I've never seen someone so rude and so bad doing that job... an absolute disaster... I'll never go back to that place read more

Wish I had read the reviews before I went. I'm getting g married and I showed them a picture of my design. They said "yes, ok, we can do that". Turned out they didn't have the right polish to do my nails and they just plain can't do nail art. I ended up having to have a new design and was there for 3 hrs waiting for someone who could actually do nail art. I made a whole appointment. I'm so disappointed. I still only half way like my nails and I'm stuck with it so whatever. Not happy and I don't have time to get anything else done. They should be honest about their abilities and products before saying yes. read more

It was great that they were able to take me when I booked my appointment at the Vinings location but the quality of my sns was off. There are indentation and smudges. Disappointed based on what I paid. I called and hopefully when I go back tomorrow they fix them without charging me. Also when soaking off my sns the bowl was filled too much with acetone that while I was in the pedicure chair it seeped onto my sleeve having the color bleed onto my dress. read more

Had a really disappointing experience. The salon looked really cute and posh and I had high expectations. Unfortunately, 1. I was served by the most condescending manicurist and 2. I got a chipped gel nail on day 2. I was at the salon yesterday with two girlfriends. They did a SNS manicure while I got Gel. The moment they sat down, they were given the color palettes so they had plenty of time to choose their colors. Their manicurist were really patient and even tested a couple of colors to help them find their favorite. My manicurist on the other hand, didn't bother to greet me and just got right into it. Fine. So I tried to make conversation like "I haven't done SNS before, do you remove it the same way as you would with gel?" and she gave a scornful "ya" and looked at me as though I lived in a cave. What's with the disparate service level?? She rushed through the manicure, obviously distracted as she was multitasking to attend to her regular customer who arrived early for an appointment. She directed me to choose a color right off the shelf, and I felt so pressured that in the end I just went with a French gel manicure. Sadly, she only did one coat of nude polish and one thin layer for the white tip. The finishing was really bad and uneven. I showed it to her and requested for a touch up but she brushed me off. The results? The polish on my middle finger has already chipped and peeled off! I can accept and deal with bad and inconsistent service. But a gel manicure that can't even last for two days? Unacceptable. Totally wasted my money! read more

I've never had an SNS manicure so this was my first time. I loved it -lasted about 3 weeks. I took a co-worker friend here for a manicure as a congrats gift for her new job and also as a thank you for the work she had done. I'm very selective with nail salons and this place did not disappoint. It was VERY clean (which is my #1 must) & the atmosphere is very spa like and relaxing. I plan to go back in about a week. Loses 1 star only bc it took so long for them to figure out how to get my co-workers previous SNS off, that I ended up having to sit there and wait at the end for almost 40 mins after my nails were done. read more

Went here and had a nice pedicure. Paid $50 each for the Escape to Fiji pedi. Pricey but was having a special day with my mom. Then went back for a nail fill and toe nail color change. $35 fill plus $20 for gel. $10 for one gem on each nail and $15 for toe color change! I think they are a little over priced. Especially for the color change. I get it. It's Buckhead but it's not even 4 days and 3 of my gems have popped off and a broken pinky nail. Will have to go back to my regular technician and get them all redone. I've done very similar nails the time before and none broke or popped off so I wonder why it happened with them... I really wanted this to be my new spot! Too bad. Might go back for pedi.. read more

::::Ladies and Gents!:::: The wait is over on ever finding your next claws and paws destination and maintenance!! I am by far the most selective one to ever plant foot to a random nail spa; however, I had the pleasure of meeting the owner Master P(nickname) at an exclusive event where where she graciously encouraged us to come and I absolutely fell in love with her and her story about how grew the sugarcoat business on her during the most challenging time of her life. True inspiration of success and leadership. Immediately upon arrival, we were welcomed and we fell in love of how beautiful the place was along with the whole experience. We had champagne service and I had the escape to Fiji experience and let me tell you that it was an experience from HEAVEN. My paws and claws were shaped, cut, and sculpted, gel and french to where it left me more than satisfied and happy to come back and make it my go to spot for myself and friends! read more

I like how my nails turn out, but for the limited skill set they have they're charging way above market. They're probably capitalizing on their location and the residents who live there which is fine - but the skills should match the price. The reason I really gave them 2 stars though is because I noticed that the salon was segregated. I noticed that they separated the blacks from the whites and had the blacks sit in the back to get their pedicures while the whites sat in the front. Any black person that walked in for a pedicure was led to the back, while white persons who walked in were put in the front. It was disgustingly noticeable. Now if you're a racist you probably like that kind of thing but for me, it's 2021 and I'm over it. I watched a black girl walk in and be led all the way to the last pedicure chair, and a few white girls who walked in after were put in the front chairs. I thought I was insane until in walked a gay black man who was placed right next to the black girl all the way at the end when there were chairs available close to the front. They'd rather put him all the way in the back and right next to another black person during covid than space people out and put him closer to the middle front because then he'd be sitting by the white women. So no, I won't be coming here ever again. Maybe I could look over something like that if their skills weren't so limited, if they offered beverages, and their prices weren't clearly inflated (they include the tip in their prices so no need to tip extra). But with all of that combined, there has to be more that Buckhead has to offer. read more

NEVER AGAIN. Came here for mani/pedis with 2 members of my bridal party. Maybe it's my fault for thinking this place is more high-end or luxurious than it was. It was very basic, rushed, and poor service. I paid for the more expensive services and they didn't even file or shape my nails, push cuticules, or give any sort of massage? They also seemed confused and overwhelmed by helping the 3 of us. Overall I was so disappointed by the quality and level of service and would never come back here. read more

I went here about a month ago for an SNS manicure. The technician was nice but my nails cracked after less than a week. When I get my nails done with SNS at any other salon it lasts 3-4 weeks. One of my nails was also on so tightly it was giving me an ingrown finger nail (which I have never had before or heard of). I called to tell them that this happened as I assumed it was a mistake and they told me to come back and they would fix it for free. I then got a call 30 minutes later telling me it was 50% off not free because I waited too long to call (1 week after the crack). I found this to be rude but still decided to give them a chance. When I went in for the second manicure everyone was extremely nice. I was ultimately given a free manicure which again was nice. My nails once again cracked after less than a week. I do not intend to call them again, as I believe the problem is due to the glue they use and/or the brand of powder. Do not go here for an SNS manicure!!!!! read more

Think Pink! I just love this place. It is girly in EXACTLY the right way. I can't get over the darling pillows with chandelier prints that you get to lean on while you're getting a pedicure. The white-and-sleek decor is perfect. The owners are typically there at all hours and all of the salon staff I've had were pros. There are magazines galore, a too-tempting assortment of goodies to peruse (from Havaianas to Too Faced and other fun makeup picks, plus a small and carefully-selected jewelry display), and even better? They'll do private parties! You can bring food and even alcohol (but nothing that will stain the white, so you're better off with champagne or your favorite "light" drinks). I'd suggest an appointment, but they do take walk ins. So sweet! read more

Sugarcoat has an exceptional advantage over other salons because it has Monica. She knows her products and colors. She's thorough, kind, and good with bad feet.
