    Symphony Nail Bar is great! This has been my go to place since moving into the chancellor . They offer Gel X which I love. Everyone there is great and the environment is super relaxing. They did an amazing job on my nails. The head technician is super skilled and was able to perfectly replicate the photo I wanted. Thanks! The free drink and mini massage at the end is a nice perk!

    I stopped in Symphony as a walk-in after work today because I was looking for a new nail place, and I could not have been more pleased with my choice. I don't get acrylics, but I didn't want just a run-of-the-mill gel polish either. This was the perfect place to come. They have a wide variety of Asian gel polishes that differ from standard American ones and make for really unique colors. I decided on a gel mani and regular pedi and was immediately taken care of. The pedicure was really nice, including lotion, massage, hot stones, and paraffin wax for the heels. The gel mani was the standout, though. My technician Ren did an amazing job making the color look very pretty, getting even layers, and making even my very short nails shapely and round. She also gave me an amazing shoulder massage as my nails cured. All of this together came out to $70 which was more than worth it in my opinion. All in all, I can't wait to go back to try another color soon! Symphony has earned a customer :)

    I went to symphony nails for the first time in a while and it was so chaotic there. I paid $50 for a powder dip and it didn't even last a week. I came back for them to fix it and within a couple days later it was off again. I pay less money for a better manicure. I will not be going back here.

    We'll, I decided to give this place and try and I was underwhelmed to say the least and I will not be returning. Never again for me. The place is clean but don't go here. If you need additional info, read all the negative reviews (I wish I had). Before I went in, I went to their Facebook to get some ideas and I found a nail design that I really liked. When I arrived the lady asked what color so I showed her the design I wanted and had picked from the business's Facebook. Her reaction TOTALLY threw me off and was low-key offensive. She said it would be super expensive and kept asking if I could afford to pay for that nail style. I asked her what she perceived expensive to be and she said $5 per nail on top of the service for the mani being $35. So the total would have been $85. I decided not the get the nail designs because of her response - of course I had the money to pay for it! $85 for nail designs is standard (at least that's what I pay in Atlanta). Since I was there already and not from Philly, (and not in mood to walk to another salon) I picked a color and got a fill-in. The cost was $60 - typical cost but darn, it wasn't too far off from $85 lol. I also didn't appreciate that the nail tech accidentally put the drill on my finger - ouch! It didn't draw blood (thank goodness) but it hurt. Also, the nail tech had blood on 2 of her fingers. In this day in age, with all the germs and what have not, she needs to put on gloves because exposed bodily fluids can be perceived as dangerous and unsanitary. My nails came out okay but I WILL NOT be going back. I've attached pictures of what I wanted vs what I got. I got the baby blue nails.

    I found this place randomly because it's near to where I live and I had to say this is the nail salon that I will continue to comeback to. If you just want to get your nails done fast, simple design, no appointment needed and affordable this is the salon for you! You can make an appointment on their website if you like, but I never have a problem with walk-in. Most of the staffs are friendly and all of them did an amazing job on my nail designs and shapes. Their soak off technique is not the best, if your nail condition is not healthy at the moment, I don't think their removal technique gonna do any good for your nails tho. That's being said, with removal, sticker gel manicures only cost me $55, that's quite affordable in my book. Plus, they gave really good shoulders and hands massage at the end. Overall, I would give this place an 8/10!

    Finally found my salon in Philly! I've now received two great manicures and a great pedicure from the amazing people at Symphony Nails. Joy gave me a gel pedicure that was clean, even, and neat. She took her time to make sure everything looked great, and in addition gave a wonderful massage and scrub. Jessica gave me both manicures pictured below. She also takes her time and makes sure to give everything a once over, making sure it's perfect. Additionally, she gives a wonderful back massage. Their customer service is by far the best I've experienced in the city, and I feel that their prices are more than fair. I will absolutely be coming back to Symphony Nails!

    Gel refill French three designs. Took awhile but worth the wait.

    Love this shop. Weekday hours are convenient for dropping in after work. Staff is lovely and treats you with care. I have sensitive feet, so sometimes they can be a little heavy but it's okay. I'm from Frankford, so no one is open on Sunday and they close early.

    My nails very really bumpy and she nip me while cutting dead skin out
    Alex T.

    I would give this place a zero star if I could. The lady that did my nails really did not know what she was doing, while she was removing dead skin she kept cutting the skin that had no issues and it left me with small bleed in 3 finger and they hurted the first few days. while she was painting my nails she kept dripping the polish everywhere and I left with some covering the tips of my fingers, which I didn't notice until was examining them in my car. Additionally the polish distribution is uneven, where I can see missed spots on the sides of some nails and an air bubble in another. I am pretty unhappy with how they turned out especially considering how much I paid. I don't mind spending money, just make it worth it and not over charge. I do not recommend coming here for a $50 gel that not worth spending. Also I want you to know that when you pay they always ask you if you want to pay card or cash first before giving you the price, so they charge more if you pay with card to avoid paying fees to the card company and avoid taxes.

    My thumb length is not the same, one is clearly longer then the other.

    I want to say what the owner said in private message is very different then what she type here back to me b/c she clearly is trying to defend herself and lies. So the owner got back to me saying that everyone is licensed which is a lie if they are licensed they should know what to do and not ask the boss everything. They clearly said in Chinese that she does not have a license and the city worker came in to check and now they have to deal with consequences. And even in private dm the owner told me she was have a temporary license which if you don't know you can't do acrylics with a temporary license. You can only do manicures with the temporary license to practice. They continue to lie so they don't look bad. I never had to write a review bad and forth like this.

    They did a wonderful job and everything was exactly what I wanted. My nails has never been more clean, they did a detailed prep as well as made sure I got the design that I wished for. The whole duration was very pleasant as they were very friendly and I came out with the prettiest set ever ! I would definitely come back again and recommend this place to everyone.

    Clean place, nice personal but I think the new lady doesn't even know what's she's doing . I could have done a better job by myself at home . I asked during our whole conversation and she keeps telling me it will look firm at the end and it DID NOT!! I decided to give it a try after reading bad reviews but definitely NOT WORTH $30 dlls a gel manicure

    Love it!!!!! This is my favorite nail I've gotten in Philadelphia! So shiny and pretty!

    So, I came in here needing an acrylic full set. The person who did my nails was quick and I didn't have to wait. That being said, $85 for a full set of short/medium acrylic nails is pretty pricey and they didn't mention the price at all until the end. Additionally it says on their Yelp page they take credit cards but they do not. My nails look decent and they picked a great pinky nude color for my French. This would be 5 stars if the price wasn't so high and the prices were clearly stated.
