Paid for a service that was absolutely not worth it and I wish I had just cut my nails off on my own. I originally asked for a gel manicure after an acrylic soak off but after realizing I didn't have time I asked to just stop after the soak off, which is what my guyfriend next to me asked for as well. I was charged for a full manicure and soak off while my guyfriend was simply charged for a soak off, even though I specifically said I only wanted a soak off. The "manicure" was absolutely horrid-- I never asked for a top coat but received a very rough single coat that makes my nails look uglier than they are without any product. When I came out of the salon they were peeling and I plan on removing the top coat off at home :/ read more

Had a great pedicure - no complaints with the final product. The deluxe package comes with exfoliation, hot towel, and hot stone massage, all which felt great. However, this is not a top notch salon. You can see the wear and tear on everything - the foot baths all had this chalky layer in them (thankfully they put plastic sheets in them before filling with water). The chairs and tables had chips and knicks. The floors probably could have been cleaner. They also seem short staffed. I made an appointment for 10am on a Saturday and still had to wait 15 minutes. As I was getting the pedicure, I watched at least 3 groups of walk-ins give up and leave. They clearly have a loyal clientele, though - there were already 6 other customers there when I arrived and they seemed to know the technicians well (it was my first time here). Prices are reasonable and on par with salons in the area. read more

I came in at 6:00 on a Friday for a polish change. I was told they were full and to come back tomorrow. There were only two people in the chairs. I had a gift certificate from just 6 months ago I had been waiting to use, but they said they wouldn't honor it after six months. I have no idea why $50 on a piece of paper with the receipt is not good today but it would've been fine 30 days ago. I haven't been here and won't be attempting. read more

The Nail Bar - Latest dip nail, no tips needed. - Nail Salons Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

Really nice neighborhood nail shop. Pleasant staff and good work. I've only had one time where I didn't care for the job done.

Nina or Nhung was the sweetest and had so much patience. I came in needing something done as my nails were torn right at the sides where you can't really cut nor trim it. I initially wanted gel, but then Nina explained that SNS was better. It's a newer technology than gel, and it has prettier colors too. It would additionally prevent my nails from tearing. #sold Besides, I was willing to pay $27 for the gel. $35 is whatever at this point to get my nails from worsening. I think Nina did a good job. She was quick and concise. She engaged in conversation, but it wasn't about where I worked at or what my parents did. I hate going to such places and having people dig thru my family tree and become so nosy. It's just the Viet style with other Viets; I get it. The Nail Bar was pretty spacious and didn't have that nail odor in the air. Plus, you can use the $3 off Yelp check in offer. :) This will def be my new spot. read more

By far the worst manicure I have ever gotten. At the end of the day, my manicurist was tired and rushed through my manicure. I must have asked her to make a repair on almost every one of my nails. She ripped through my cuticles, nearly cut me badly once, didn't properly push them back far enough to make room for polish on the nail bed, cut my nails far too short, and then left smudges on every single finger. She kept saying "thank you, you're done now," while I kept asking her to fix them. One thumb was so bad, she left air bubbles because she kept applying more layers to fix smudges. I walked to my car thinking I'd be even more angry if I went home and had to look at air bubbles for a week, so walked back in to ask her to fix it again. She did, and created a repaired paint job that was too thin. I swear, I will never come back here. It was an exhausting experience. read more

First off they are very nice. Customer service is great. (Update: personally I take that back, I find it to be dishonest and deceiving to let people practice on a paying customers nails. That's not cool, this is why I don't trust any of these salons) my nails were butchered. I got my feet done and tips. The paint on my toes chipped first night. My hands were all different lengths, crooked, polished thick and poorly and the acrylic was uneven and poorly drilled and filed, but I honestly just said whatever because of the customer service and I was in there too long. I paid 65 and tipped but 2 hours after letting it all dry my nails were still wet. I called and he immediately knew who I was because they looked at my nails several times before I left and their face said it all although they were calm. Both guy at front desk and girl who was at front desk asked me multiple times whether I liked it and I showed them all the issues. they were very apologetic seemingly but I couldn't stay after sitting under the "strong" dryer for atleast 45 minutes, being sprayed with quick dry and then sitting for another 10 atleast. He told me to come in the next day (today)and I did. They "fixed" my nails and they looked better but today , the day she fixed it my pinky broke because they slapped lipstick on a pig. the foundation was weak. I'm so mad I wasted my time because I planned on going back. Oh and don't forget my toe chipped first night but I was too drained to ask them to fix. I rather not return. They clearly care more about the money. It's very hard finding a salon that has customer service and can actually do nails. I tipped the lady that "fixed" my nails so that's about 80 dollars spent after tips. I feel like they should never put a person who doesn't know basic acrylic to do someone's nails. I'm paying my money for someone who can do it properly. I travelled here. Based on this I would not recommend them since they have people practicing on paying customers and may not be using the most quality supplies. Update, June 10- all my nails either broke or popped off. I shouldn't have to ask who in this shop can do acrylic. I shouldn't have to second guess whether a tech I'm sat in front of can do what I'm paying them for. I payed for multiple services and tipped. Why don't I deserve acceptable work? I've had them for a week and work from home. I do not work with my hands. At this point I assume she didn't prep correctly. Don't play yourself. Go else where. Or if you do go be prepared to wait for the one person that can actually do nails and those probably won't last either. read more

Went there again and didn't have a great experience. I called and asked to see if there was a wait and they said no wait. When I got there, there was clearly a wait. They said about 15 minutes but we were there 30-45 minutes. It would have been fine if they told us the actual wait time rather than sitting there ready. Next, they were going to serve someone who came in after us. We were going to leave after but they convinced us to stay. They sat us both but only had enough staff members to do one pedicure. My mom had hers done while I sat there for twenty minutes waiting for a staff member to be free. The experience wasn't great and they did not communicate well. The service was mediocre and we probably won't go back. read more

Sylvia was awesome! I got sns color 49 w/ tip extensions. This was my first time trying it out and I will definitely be back. I made my appointment through Yelp and they are quick to respond to any messages. The place is clean and there were a lot of colors to choose from. Sylvia is very kind and patient, and she is also great at doing eyebrows! The prices are reasonable as well. I put 4 stars for excellent service and clean environment. I would have put 5 if the atmosphere was a little more relaxing/spa-like. The lighting could be a bit calmer, music selection more jazzy, and television not the news (but this is just my preference lol). Either way, i will be back! Thanks Sylvia and staff! read more

I highly recommend this nail bar. It has a huge open space which is great for social distancing. The staff is very friendly. I've been to this location a total of 3 times and I always like the way my nails come out. My tech does a great job at shaping my natural nails. Unlike other nail salons I visited in the past, that filed my nails too much and they would end up oddly shaped. Im not quite sure how many nail techs are they have on staff but every time I go, there's only 2 nail techs performing services. Its probably best to make an appointment, however they do work really fast without jeopardizing the quality of work. Also, I believe they have a coupon on Yelp for $3 of a service that cost $30 or more. read more

They've also raised their prices so if you're going off of what they have on their website, you're gonna be wrong. Visit this salon at your own risk! read more

*Eyebrow wax review only* I wanted to edit my eyebrow situation and popped into the new Nail Bar on a whim one early evening. Luckily for me, I was seen immediately, escorted to a little room towards the back. The interior of Nail Bar is pretty roomy and modern and I remember lots of dark hues; there were some ladies getting their nails done but it wasn't super crowded or anything. The woman waxing my eyebrows was very efficient and detail-oriented after she asked me what I wanted. Lots of careful waxing, plucking, and trimming, all in a decent amount of time. She did ask me if I wanted more waxing done, and I'm not wild about being suggested other services when I just requested one, but it wasn't a huge deal since she didn't press it. I was pretty satisfied at the end after I scrutinized my arches in the hand mirror she gave me. The eyebrow wax was a good deal at $8. At my esthetician's urging, I took a services pamphlet home and perused it. The various deluxe pedicures sound tasty as many of them have to do with food (hello, chocolate pedicure!), may have to try one sometime. read more

Love that there is rarely a wait at this place, but it really hit or miss on pedicures and the polish being consistently applied. I was reading while the lady was painting my toenails and once I got home and was able to fully inspect the less than optimal polish application. Looks like the second coat didn't start back at the nail bed so it sort of looks like she painted over where the nail had grown out without removing the original color. Probably going to ask that they don't do the clear top coat anymore, clear doesn't meant I won't see where it was not applied universally. read more

The Nail Bar - $10 nail tips - Nail Salons Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

**UPDATE*** I'm taking a star off because TWO days after getting a brand new SNS set, 1 of my nails (index) has chipped off and 2 other nails (thumb & middle) cracked down the middle of both nails. I would go back into the salon for them to fix it, but if they will just chop and crack again, it's worthless. I'd rather go to a place to give me a brand new set that will last the time it's supposed to (At least 3 weeks). I have to add that I have never seen SNS on my nails chip off or crack. ESPECIALLY after only 2 days. This is a first. Thought I'd give this place a try since it's only a few minutes away from my job. Place seemed clean and I was greeted when I entered the door at 5:15 pm. I was the only one waiting to be seated. I chose a really pretty opaque blue that I wanted OPI 13 (see picture) and was seated after about 10 minutes to soak off my sns. It took almost 30 minutes for my sns to come off (I'm used to soaking my nails in hot water w/ acetone in a bowl). This place did the foil method (cotton ball soaked in acetone wrapped in foil) which was fine, but it seemed like it took much longer than what I'm used to. When the lady finally started working on my sns application, everything was going fine until the very end (I even loved my coffin shape, which not everyone does well on short nails). The opaque blue that I loved so much turned out to be contaminated with white particles on my nails that kind of resemble glitter. Personally, I think it was the way the lady applied the sns as she applied the base powder (clear/white powder) on time of the blue color which created this gritty/glitter looking texture that I'm not a fan of. She stated that someone had contaminated the powder, and she'd throw it away (which she didn't) But did not offer me a discount for my dissatisfaction. She quoted me $38 and I used the $3 yelp coupon and left. I'll be going to another location to have this removed and applied properly. Again, it's unfortunate because this place is so close to my job. I hate my nails and I won't be back. read more

I have found my nail salon! OPI is my brand and each salon I tried before The Nail Bar didn't carry it and ended up convincing me to try whichever brand they claimed was better. Nothing works for me except OPI and The Nail Bar not only carry the brand, but also my color (Do You Take Lei Away)! I can't tell you how I excited I was about this fact alone. The pedicurist...OMG!!! She assessed my feet and used the pumice stone without prompting. At other salons there has been no assessment; just an immediate grab for the cheese grater! Fact number 2! Fact number 3, the manicurist coated my nails with 2 perfect layers of polish, that left my nails feeling light, well-groomed, and beautifully polished! Did I mention that I made my next appointment before paying and leaving? The Nail Bar is a hidden gem (at least for me it was) that is now a favorite in my maps! read more

Never going back here. I went for mani/pedis with a few girlfriends on Saturday. The woman (wish I had gotten her name) was practically trying to cut my toes off. I finally had to ask her to be more gentle, as she was being too rough! My manicure looks like a 5 year old painted my nails, as you can see. I also now have some kind of infection next to my nail, I'm guessing from her cutting it too short? It's red and swollen and it hurts. I hope the manager/owner sees this and asks the employees about it. They all heard me yell Ow! twice and ask her to be more gentle while she was doing my pedi. read more

They did an excellent job on my nails and toes. They were quick and efficient. Very nice and polite. The reason for my three star review instead of five is because I think they need to do a renovation update. Even though they were very clean and used gloves, masks, face coverings, plastic coverings in the pedicure area, and followed all the COVID-19 protocols. All of the booths and stations look older so it gives the appearance that the shop is dirty. Like I need to get my eyebrows waxed and wouldn't feel comfortable doing it there just because it looks kind of dingy. So I will have to find another nail salon. No offense to the business just my observation. read more

And the lining to the cuticle paint job is so uneven and looks terrible.

I have been to the nail bar a couple of times before and have had mediocre experiences every time until my most recent visit, which was awful. To begin with the technicians were impatient and harsh and shamed me for choosing the regular polish option instead of gel. They insisted my sister get her eyebrows done to an offensive degree and only offered a drink to the person in our party who was paying. The real issue, however came in what I witnessed. A young woman behind me was getting her nails done and I think getting some fake nails applied. She spoke up at one point and said these nails were for her birthday party the next day and they were crooked. She was very calm and polite and kept repeating that she was not trying to cause problems she was just hoping they could re do them. Her technician refused to let her speak, constantly interrupting her and telling her she did not know what she was talking about. The customer asked that they just take them off and they said she would have to pay an extra $20 or they could cut them short for and extra $10. The manager came over but did not say a word. They continued to yell at the young woman until she payed and left without them fixing her nails with tears in her eyes. Very disappointed and will not return. read more

I was really surprised when I walked into Nail Bar! I was very pleased that I didn't have to wait to be seated at a basin, in addition to having one woman on my nails and another on my feet. I did go in around 2:30 on a Friday so this might not be the case during the weekends. I'm very particular with nail salons because they can be a breeding ground for germs. One thing I can say is that this place is very clean! They use use clear caps over the basins before they fill them with water. Every utensil was either newly opened or sanitized heavily with alcohol in front of you. Additionally, their prices are very reasonable. There have been salons I've visited in Buckhead that charge $40 for gel/shellac without the acrylic and The Nail Bar charges me only $25. So far the price of $52 I got a shellac manicure and regular pedicure. Again, I was very pleased and I'll definitely return. read more
