When visiting Charleston, we had a few hours in between check out and our flight. We used an app to have The Best Nail Bar hold our bags while we explored the city more. Kevin could not have been more welcoming & this is one of the most beautiful nail salons I've seen! Once we picked our bags, he let us sit there as long as needed while we waited on our uber and he also lent me a phone charger so I didn't have to dig mine out. While this is about bag service and not the nails service, when I am back in Charleston this is where I'll be coming for my nails! Every guest was treated as a friend and they even have complimentary bubbles for customers. read more

The Best Nail Bar is a large nail salon with a variety of pedicure and manicure options. If you're looking for efficiency for reasonable prices knowing they'll attempt to upsell you then this is the perfect location. I found The Best Nail Bar searching on-line and booked my appointment 48 hours in advance. The check-in process was easy - I signed in through a tablet and was led to one of their thirty plus pedicure stations. The scale of the operation was astounding as I have not been anywhere with this many pedicure or manicure stations. It felt very new and shiny with immaculate rows of nail polish, bright lights, and a super clean interior. Run by Vietnamese immigrants the Perfect Nail Bar is efficient. I watched the small, but mighty, staff work from person to person, help each other out, and quickly greet every person who entered. I was disappointed in some of my fellow customers witnessing them treat the staff with little respect but thankfully they were few in number that day. Their level of service is astounding - for example one woman was walking with her sandals in hand and two technicians jumped up, rushed over, and helped her put on her sandals. Most places I've been to simply hands over disposable flip flops. My technician Sarah would often talk to the others in Vietnamese. When I inquired what she was saying - as I noticed there was little conversation - she explained she was keeping them on track. Sarah had command of the place ensuring everyone was greeted. Sarah was great - she was frequently pulled away, and super apologetic each time but it wasn't like I was left with nothing - I had my mimosa, my massage chair, and my nails were drying. I mentioned upselling and indeed I experienced that, but also fully agreed to it. My feet were a wreck and then Sarah pointed out my hands which upon inspection I realized were littered with hangnails and uneven nails. I ended up with the Best Lovable Pedicure - I can't say I noticed anything with the golden soaking, but the herbal neck wrap was nice and the golden masque, hot towels, and paraffin treatment was decadent. The hot stone massage was also fabulous. Sarah made my feet oh so pretty! I also added a regular manicure which Sarah conducted at the same station my feet was worked on which was nice. She listened to my desires to not have a nail polish to maintain and recommended a lovely very light pink, almost clear. My nails are fabulous! I left approximately two hours later feeling like a refreshed woman. I was so impressed! read more

Visited this spot while we were in town. We actually happened upon it while we were walking, quickly scoped it out on Yelp (always a must with nail salons), and decided to pop in for a couple pedicures. The service was actually really fantastic and we were both very happy with our pedicures. I will note, the color I chose looked nothing on my toes like it did in the book of colors. I had to choose a different one, and ran into the same issue. Eventually I just settled on something that wasn't quite the color I wanted, but seemed easier than trying to find the perfect shade I was looking for. I appreciated how friendly the staff was here and the exfoliating and massage parts of the pedicure were both really good! read more

After going a few times, for the convenience, the price was okay, but the last 2 pedicures have chipped within days. $75 and 3 of my toenails are already visibly chipped. The atmosphere and energy is great but I've been disappointed with quality. Unfortunately this is not a product you can just return, but definitely something to keep in mind before returning or investing. read more

Love everyone in here, they have the best energy! They are always so nice and Jerry did these amazing nails! Go see him! read more

The Best Nail Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

First I have to say that I had to look at Google reviews for this place since they only had one and I'm not sure why because they have been open for a while. They were friendly when I arrived and I was seated right away as it was not busy. My problem was I hate when people try to get me to do something I did not ask for as if it is my first time or I not know what I want. I always get regular polish on my toes because it last at least a month for me but whatever they did to the polish that is not the case. I also did not understand why they charged for the removal of the polish since anywhere else I go that is free. When I checked out it sounded like they change the prices and try to up charge. read more

Best Nail Experience Ever! We walked in as a group of four for mani-pedis without an appointment, and Best Nail Bar could not have been more welcoming! They took us in right away with no hesitation and made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable. Kevin (truly Kevin from heaven!) and the rest of the staff were so friendly, professional, and attentive. They made us feel relaxed and taken care of the entire time. The quality of the service was outstanding -- from start to finish, everything was clean, efficient, and beautifully done. This was hands down the best nail experience I've ever had. If you're looking for great service, friendly staff, and top-notch results, Best Nail Bar is the place to go. We'll absolutely be back! read more

The service is good but the up charges is an ugly game. The name of their game is charge you for every little thing and talk you into and at end give you the price. read more

The service here was very good and the people were very nice. I got My nails and toes done and both look so good. I recommend coming here if you want amazing nails! Kevin from heaven was so nice and he was very welcoming. read more

I was happy with my gel manicure quality, and the friendly service staff. They offer mimosas. However, they were pushy about putting tips on my nails, which was a different type of gel nail manicure and a LOT more expensive. They did not tell me this. It destroyed my nails trying to get it off at the following nail salon a month later. read more

This place is huge. They are super friendly and have good service. I asked for the classic pedicure, but my nail person told me I pretty much needed to do the next level up because I had a callous on my foot. I didn't love the price tag on that and that I wasn't really given an option. Otherwise it's a nice place! read more

One of the nicest nail salons I have been to since moving to South Carolina in 2019. Staff was friendly and did a great job quickly. I was a walk in and expected to wait but that was not the case. However do not park in the gravel lot next to the salon! I parked in the midtown garage and it was a short walk. read more

The Best Nail Bar - Acrylics - Nail Salons Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

The Best Nail Bar is so well-run and they do beautiful nails. I have no clue why there would be any low ratings on here tbh. I trust them completely with giving me a fair price for a job very well done. Much better than nailssodep which is the other nail salon across only a few blocks away. Not only do they overcharge but the nail technicians speak no English whatsoever and they do a lot of damage in applying acrylic . All I care about really tbh is that I got a set of gel x nails that didn't kill my bank account and that I was told would last two weeks. They did , in fact, last 2 weeks. And they will make adjustments for any nails that are chipped within that time period.... Like I said the service is amazing. Go here and no where else ! read more

I got a dip manicure and the polish started peeling after a couple of days. I went back to have it fixed and they did so no problem; however, a few days after, my other fingers started peeling as well. Their services are wayyy to expensive to have that happen -- but at least the staff was nice. read more

This was the best nail salon ever!! I had Sarah she was the sweetest and took her time and care to make sure I got what I wanted. I definitely would recommend this to anyone for anything as a nail salon in Charleston SC. read more

This is definitely not "the best nail bar." Felt very rushed even though it was mostly empty, had to ask for lotion after my sns was applied, spent very little time with the jelly soak, and had to go back because he left polish all over my hands and fingers even after saying he got it all. Finally Not a neat job or good experience for almost $200. Will not return. read more

We arrived at opening on Sunday morning on my wife's birthday. She ordered a manicure and I had a pedicure. She got the dipped nails and they came out beautiful. She is very happy with her experience. I also was very happy with my pedicure. No color but I did get the hot wax and she did magic on my feet. Very happy with the experience. So glad we got reservations. The place was super busy when we left. read more

I was in town for a weekend and had a couple nails break, so booked an appointment at The Best Nail Bar. I requested Jerry after seeing good reviews of his work. He was fantastic. I got a gel removal and a new gel set. Was in and out of the salon in 45 minutes. Probably one of the best manicures I've received--45$ total. Super impressed. Would definitely recommend Jerry. read more
