1st time here everyone was so friendly and pleasant. I walked in with no appointment for a regular pedicure only wanted a few minutes before I was seated in pedicure chair. The older lady I forgot her name was so nice she did a great job on my pedicure she continuously asked was I ok and if the massages felt good, and they did, I love her attention towards me. I will be returning here for my future nail needs, as I am new to South Carolina I'm glad I've found a place I like. The prices are really reasonable. read more

Fill-In, Repair, and Pedi. Quality is Outstanding and the Pedi is an experience you must try. The atmosphere is okay, but they seem to have stereotypical views with some of their customers. Some techs only work with caucasian clients. It is disrespectful and they refuse to successfully learn our English dialect. Although quality is professional; prices leave something to desired. read more

I love coming here for manicures and pedicures. My nails always looks great and the service is great and Cathy does great pedicures!

I'm giving 2 stars because of the tech's personalities as everyone was very sweet and welcoming. I'm not certain that the tools are sanitized before / after each client but they do thoroughly clean the pedicure chairs after each use which was pleasant to see. I got a gel manicure and unfortunately I hate it. It's extremely lumpy and uneven. The color is beautiful but I will not be returning. Update. I removed the gel polish and found a fungus spot on my nails. I don't believe they clean their tools between each client. Very disappointed. read more

I'm new to the area and have been looking for a new nail spot, so I searched places near me and this one had decent (but old reviews) and I figured I would give it a chance. So I got to the place, you have to wait outside until they take your temp. Ok whatever. I finally get inside and the lady that takes my temp leads me to the pedicure bowl. My first immediate problem was the lady was too touchy. She keep touching my arm, my shoulder and my hand. Personally, it made me uncomfortable but I tried to look past it, and just blame it on the language barrier. Ok so I finally get in the pedicure chair and the lady is rushing through the service. She didn't even let my feet soak before she started cutting and filing my nails. Also, I wasn't given a choice in the type of pedicure I wanted or even told a price beforehand. So towards the end of the pedicure, the lady was cutting my cuticle and she cut me. It didn't bleed at first. She finished the foot and had me put my foot back in the water. But when I took my foot out I could tell it was bleeding a tiny bit. I said something about it and the lady just wiped it off with her finger and keep going. At this point I realized she was only wearing one glove. So she keep polishing and just keep wiping the blood away. She even took off the glove and put on the top coat with her bare hands and wiped the little bit of blood away. Now, I wasn't bleeding a lot, so I'm not saying she should have panicked. However, she definitely should have had on both her gloves and stopped the bleed and cleaned the area. You literally don't know what people have going on and not taking appropriate precautions is lazy and careless. I ended up paying $55 for the pedicure and gel polish. But I will definitely never go to this place again. read more

I love this place the people are so pleasant and friendly. Maggie and her crew are very attentive to their customers needs.

So, I stumbled into this place from google. It was a day before my birthday vacation and I was on my way to a nail appointment and they cancelled on me while I was on my way. I never went back to they who shall not be named just yet, but Maggie at Unique took the time and gave me a beautiful set of nails for my birthday. So when I moved to the Columbia area I religiously started seeing Maggie for all my nail care needs. Its good to make an appointment because she is a hot commodity. All I do is pick a color and then Maggie brings them to life! Most importantly make an Appointment Im not exaggerating when I say a lot of people are going for Maggie and are willing to wait! read more

I have never had a pedicure that was done so horribly. The lady rushed through, was finished in like ten minutes. I was told it would be five minutes for my full set. Waited 40 minutes and left. Don't waste your good time or good money. read more

I'm new to the area and I have been to this place twice already. One time too many; never again. The first time wasn't awful. The technician who worked on my pedicure was an older female and she did a great job. The only negative I noticed that visit is that their polish colors are not at all organized. The shelves are also overcrowded so there are bottles tucked behind other bottles so it's impossible to see all the colors. They need a second shelf and it would help a whole lot if the colors were organized by shade at least. In any case the visit was otherwise good. My second visit which was this week was awful and a complete waste of my $35. I got a pedicure again; this time it was a very young girl who had Bluetooth headphones on and was evidently talking to someone on her phone the whole time. I was willing to overlook that until I saw the finished French pedicure. Basically she just painted a bunch of very crooked white lines and slapped some clear polish over them. My big toenail has some discoloration on it from old bruises so usually a very light pink hued clear polish usually helps mask the color. The clear polish is not doing that and those crooked white lines just look god awful. Needless to say I won't return again. I'll be looking for a new place! read more

Always a pleasure to see Jenni. She is so talented!! I have attached a few pictures of had latest work on me. She is always up to master whatever design I hAve picked out for that day.

I would recommend making an appt before you go. read more

We rolled in 5 deep, and all of us had a fantastic afternoon hanging out with the crew at Unique Nail & Spa. Maggie, Dino, Jennie and Anna were so much fun. Even little man Darren got in on the fun. As busy as it was, they were each attentive, and did an excellent job on all of our nails. We had a mixture of services from a full set of acrylics, basic mani/pedis and a deluxe pedi. I was pampered like a queen. All of us left satisfied and renewed. The massage chairs were so comfortable and helped the time to pass while we each awaited our turn. Very cute and welcoming decor. My niece who lives in Columbia said this will be her new regular spot for nails. When I return to town, this will be on my itinerary. I will be back soon! read more

After going to this salon a few times, I definitely should've written a review by now. I went in yesterday for a pedicure and they did an amazing job as always. Every time I come as a walk in, I always get seated immediately. I love their pedicure bowls because they have abs attachment that holds your legs instead of you having to hold your leg up while they scrub your feet. I feel that's very considerate especially for those who may have leg and knee issues. This is always my go to salon when I'm in town for a pedicure and they will continue to be. Shoutout to Alex!!! read more

Not really all that!!! They rushed on my nails. I feel like I could've done a better job at home. Nails look messy, the skin around the cuticles was left barley touched. Not happy at all. I got a gel polish and now am tuck with a crappy paint job on my nails :( read more

I just had the greatest experience at this place and i'm not suprised. This is my go to place to get my eyebrows done by Maggie; but I got a pedicure this morning. I can't remember the name of the gentleman who did my pedi but he was so nice. He took his time on my feet and was really polite. I could tell that he really loves what he does and takes pride in his work. He even suggested a color that he thought would look nice on my feet. I thought that was nice. Of course I'll be back to get my eyebrows done by maggie lol but I'll definitely return for another pedicure. If you havent visited this place, you're really missing out. read more

Unique Nail And Spa - Jennie does a great job !! - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Love this place!!! I travel across town from Harbison blvd to get my nails and feet done. Jennie does the best manicures and pedicures in this area!! She is a perfectionist. It's sad to say but I've been getting my nails and feet done since I was 16 and never gave a tip! I'm 29 and the way my nails and feet look after Jennie does them is so amazing I tip her every time! She truly deserves it! read more

I came here a few times and even referred a friend a few times. After a year I left because Maggie was always rushing even when I booked an appointment and even when I set my appointment for a new set , I was almost pressured into getting a fill in because she never have time. My most recent nails set was a disaster, I ended up going back several times as my nail polish ( gel) which is expensive kept coming of , I mean completely lifting off. She redid them over four times and said it could be that I wasn't holding my hand under the light right, after asking to come ensure that I was the last time she repositioned my nails and to my surprise that wasn't the case at least four nails lifted each time and no longer had polish...uggghhh the frustration was real , I asked her what can be done differently. We did another fill in and polished and for the LAST time it came off. I went to show her that it did and she says ( oh something must be wrong with your hand as if it was my fault) WOW..... I said ok ... She never said let me try something differently but made that comment as she places her cigarette on her lips as if she didn't care and I didn't just spent my money with her. She was very rude and really irritated me until I walked away because her lack of customer service was horrible and almost made me told her something mean. read more

I've been getting my nails done for 10 years so I am exceptionally picky regarding color and how I'm treated. I called at 5:00pm made an appointment for 5:30pm. I get there notice the chairs are old and it wasn't as clean or new as I would have liked. I still proceeded as they sat me in the chair I asked several times for water. At 6:00 they finally start and I get my water (not cold). The pedicure was basic (no upgrades offered) . No hot towels. It's now 6:30 she moves me to the manicure chair (my toes still have not been painted!!!! Prior to moving to the front I saw bugs crawling across the floor. The lady then tells me they don't do what I want. So I pay for services rendered and leave. Let me add that when I complained one of the ladies shook her head like I was in the wrong. Tragic place. Save your money. Btw this is my first review ever because that's how disappointed I was read more

Wait time is horrible. I came in to get my nails done for my birthday thinking it would be less busy on a weekday. It was only two people working and it was a lot of people waiting. So I decided to get a nude color on my nails. I'm pretty sure everyone knows you need more costs of polish the lighter the nail polish. Well the lady put two coats on and then was done so once she finished I checked my nails and asked for another coat of polish because I could still see my nails underneath. She stated no it would make my nails look very lumpy and thick. I basically had to beg for another coat which DID NOT make my nails look lumpy. My nails are smooth but the polish job looks like something my 2 year old could have done. I will never be coming back read more

Unique Nail And Spa - Horrible job that was done by nail tech there. - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I have been to this nail salon many times. Never again will they get a dime of my money. I went in with my daughter and daughter in law. They put us in 3 chairs side by side. They told me my chair would not lean back. After a while my neck was hurting. The girl said "I warned you..I'll hurry up". I said no. The sweet man doing my daughters toes asked what was wrong and immediately moved me. Put oil on my leg and my daughter. No oil on my daughter in law. No lotion on any of us. When my daughter got up, her chair dumped her out because it was broken. We paid way too much money for the experience we had!!! Never again. My feet feel no better today than they did before the pedicure yesterday!!! read more

The time on the door has open at 10 I got here at 9:30-walked to the door which was locked of course, and I saw they were still servicing people anyway. So I walked off and one girl comes out and smokes a cigarette. I asked her were they open she says "Uh yeah what are you talking about" I told her the door says 10 and it was locked when I pulled it. She continued to deny my claim. Anyway, I have been sitting in the pedicure bowl water now cold for 45 minutes. Someone else was in front of me, and she hasn't been serviced either. It's 4 total people here being serviced & idk what the issue is. I should have went to my normal place but since I have somewhere to be and it's close to home I decided to try this place. Never again! read more

This place has the worst customer service ever. I sat here for 1 full hour and was never spoken to. I was "next in line" and finally had to ask how much longer it would be and the girl told me there was probably 3 or 4 more people ahead of me. WHAT??!! I understand appts, but seriously?? Terrible. I will never go back. read more

Terrible service! I read the reviews and thought this place would be great and it was not! I was greeted very rudely when arrived. I wanted a basic pedicure and manicure. I sat down in a pedicure spa chair for an hour with no service. I watched two people come in after me and receive service before me. One of the nail techs even took the color I had picked out for use on the lady who came in before me! Only after I started heading for the door did they say they wanted to start on me. I declined because I was so ready to leave. Very disappointed I couldn't get my nails done in time for a wedding I'm in. read more

Since moving to columbia 5 years ago, Maggie is the only person who has touched my eyebrows. She is amazing. Every thing she does is amazing from manicures to waxing. She is VERY fast. The other people in the salon are good also. The wait times vary significantly. You either have no wait or it's 45 mins. The prices are a few dollars higher than other places. I.e a pedicure is $28 instead of $25. But it is well worth it for the quality! They also recently renovated and it looks great. read more

The workers are amazing but the price changes everytime I go. Even though I get the same thing with the same polish type, same shape... the price is always different and more expensive. I went to get a fil in that normally costs $28 but today it was $41. When I asked she said it was because my nails were long and the shape I got was coffin & also because they had to take the gel polish off. read more

I had a 10 am appointment for a gel pedicure with the owner, Maggie, and arrived a few minutes early only to be told to sit over there and wait. Maggie walked in about 10:10 and barked at me to go to the pedicure chair. After sitting at the chair for several minutes waiting for her to start her day she had me move to the front again to remove the gel polish I had on. She started the pedicure by filing my nails but filed the side of my pinky toe instead of the nail. I was telling her it hurt and she kept filing until I finally pulled my foot out of her hand and the blood began to drip into the water. I can only compare the pain to a paper cut but worse. She said sorry, I can't talk and concentrate so I stop talking now. When I asked about the color gel available she told me the price for the pedicure was $28 plus $35 for the gel polish....that is not what I was quoted on the phone when I made my appointment so I opted for just regular polish. She could not use antiseptic to clean my right foot because of the open cut but used cuticle oil to massage both feet - not cream, oil. After the quick massage and a shoddy polish job she told me to go sit up front to dry. No quick dry oil available. As I sat there she came over and said I am only charging you for the pedicure today $28 not the $5 for the polish since I cut you. I gave her $40 and she brought me twelve singles and stood there. I asked if she was waiting for something and she said no, see you next time. I think not. Very expensive for the service rendered. Visit this salon at your own risk. read more
