Had an appointment at 2 pm on a Saturday for a pedicure. My pedicure didn't start until 2:40 and lasted 20 minutes. The salon is very clean and relaxing but it seems they are severely understaffed as there were only three people working on the weekend. Everyone was really nice. I would only come back here if I didn't have to wait that long to be seen. read more

This facility is nice and clean. Personnel was very professional and did a wonderful job on my SNS manicure and toenail polish change. I called ahead of time and was easily able to get added to today's schedule. I would certainly come back and recommend this establishment to others. read more

Upstate Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

I had the best manicure of my life at this place and am sad that it's too far for me to be a regular. I came to Upstate while in town for my niece's softball tournament. While she was bowling less than a mile away, I went to fix an old mani before my nails paid the price. I arrived about 30 minutes-45 minutes before closing after looking up and calling other places. They were cleaning up when I arrived. Two other clients were still there. I asked if I was too late and they welcomed me right in and pointed me to the colors. After I picked out my color, my sweet manicurist, Henry, was waiting for me. Henry is an older gentleman. He is extremely patient and detail-oriented, just as a manicurist should be. When I requested that he forego the drill to remove my gel polish. He obliged even though he knew it would be a bit more work for him. My nails don't seem to fancy drills. They tend to be okay initially but after repeated use they become very thin and brittle. He understood this and humored me, using only a scraping and buffing method to remove the polish. Then he began to shape my nails the way they were already shaped. Genuinely wanting an oval shape, I asked Henry. He shaped them into perfect ovals, that I fell in love with. Not too pointy and not too square. He also did a phenomenal job on my cuticles which tend to be hideous. He cleaned them up perfectly. Just the amount needed. No more, no less. The polish application was perfect. No tricks or gimmicks (like painting 3 fingers and curing) just patience. When he was finished I was pleasantly surprised. It was the most beautiful manicure I've ever had hands down. The shop itself is clean, beautifully decorated and seemed to be family run. I loved the fixtures and details, definitely spa quality. This was certainly a lucky pick after local suggestion and Yelp research led me elsewhere. I'm glad that I followed my gut and came here. If I'm ever back in Spartanburg, I will most certainly be visiting Henry. I wish that I could visit him regularly. If you are in Spartanburg, this should be your go-to place for great service, prices and a relaxing spa environment. read more

Reading the other reviews, I can agree there is a lady there that can be rude and short. However, another lady named Kim is great! Highly recommend. Beautiful salon and very relaxing. read more

Seems everyone knows they are rude. This was my first time at this salon. I always get coffin shaped acrylic set with regular polish. Where I usually go, this is $43 & they always tell me the breakdown of cost without me even asking. $30 for set, $8 for coffin shape, $5 for polish or $15 for gel polish. Here she just tells me it's $55. I usually don't ask questions because I'm just not the type to but I was curious the breakdown of the cost like what was making it $55. Their menu says $30 for acrylic and $15 for gel polish same as other place, but I like regular polish so I asked what made it go to $55. She said it's because it's coffin shape and she has to shape explaining how she shapes but I already knew this. So I said so all that extra cost just for the shape? What is the breakdown? She said again all this about coffin shape. I said that's crazy. And she got instantly pissed and said I don't have to get my nails done here and I don't have to stay, this isn't crazy. I told her I just thought it's crazy I can't get a breakdown of the cost. And I asked was this including gel polish or regular polish because I don't want gel. She said no gel polish will be extra and I will not talk about it anymore I am done talking about it. So basically a customer is not allowed to inquire about add on costs here. $30 for acrylic and $25 for shaping is what I got out of the communication. Extremely rude attitude!!! And her way of shaping she didn't cut the sides to aid in shaping, she used file the entire time. My nails came out fine, 2 are not really coffin but it is whatever. I know I won't go back there. I only came because other place was booked. Service: Acrylic nails read more

Nice & clean atmosphere. The lady I had was really nice. I ended up going with the dip powder on my natural nail. It cost me $50. I was there a little over 2 hours. read more

I walked in ONE WHOLE HOUR BEFORE their advertise closing time, just to be told, by an older men, doing someones nails by the door "WE CLOSED" in such a Rude way! So rude, even the clients turned to look. Their Lost! read more

Clean, friendly, and great service. Very happy with the pedicure. Will be going there again in the future.

I've been here twice now and only got my nails done once. My first time, they didn't say a word to me and had me sit for almost an hour before asking me what I was there for. Today I went again because the nails came out pretty good the first time - and as soon as I walked in, one of the ladies HUFFED and rolled her eyes. She then took 10min to walk over to inform me they had an appointment coming in at 11 and I would have to come back (although there are 3 people working there). Then she walked away without even asking me if I wanted to make an appointment or what I wanted. read more

Employees here seem to have the attitude that a client's business isn't important and they are better than the client. My mother, who is 80 + yrs old and can't get around quickly nowadays, kept getting asked to go to the back and wash her hands. She replied "yes" the first time she was asked, since this is not her first rodeo, but apparently wasn't sprinting to the back like the nail lady wanted, so she kept repeating her question to mom. Mom kept asking her how long it would approx. take since i had to come pick her up, but I guess customers have to wash their hands in the back first before they are allowed to ask questions. Then apparently she just didn't want to talk anymore and just turned around and promptly walked to the back of the store to clean a chair, leaving my disabled mom just standing in the front on her two crutches. After a minute, she walked back to the front to ask me, "What is wrong with her?". How freaking rude is that? Needless to say, we walked out and will happily never frequent this establishment ever again. I would give this place 0 stars if i could! No wonder they had 0 customers. read more

This is the worse nail salon I have ever de zdx lt with. They have no clue about taking people in order and today I even asked do you want me to come back at a specific time and was told 45 mins. So, I left the business for the 45 mins and came back and yep, 1 her later.....still sitting here cuz they just keep.taking people. Putting a finger up.at me to wait 30 mins ago. If I didnt desperately need my nails done today for a business trip.out of state early Monday, I would just leave. Spend your $$$ somewhere that they know how to take care of people becsuse this is not that plsce! read more

Very clean, comfortable and relaxing. Had a mani and pedi, loved that he paid attention to details. He took care of the little things before I could ask. High quality, and reasonably priced. Another successful visit today. My last mani (shelac) lasted a little more than 2 weeks and I am tough on my nails. Highly recommend Upstate. read more

Clean environment and such sweet people! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a nail salon where they do a great job every single time with a relaxing environment. Will be back soon! read more

Was in town and looking for pedi places. This was a great find. Good price and no waiting. The music was calming and the chairs very soothing. Parking was easy and a light to get back on Blackstock rd. read more

They were rude af... lady cut my finger & made it bleed.. way over priced & did a terrible job... I got short normal nails (no Dimonds or nothing) & it was the same price as my crazy long nails(with dimonds & all) I usually get at another place ‍ then she charged me $30 to take the gel off my toes and nails.. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER... They look so bad I have to go else where to get them redone. read more

I have been going to this salon for a long Time i recently got my nails don't a week and a half a go and my right hand was lifting and the polish i got on my Feet changed to a completely different color went in because i work and when i get off they be closed came in on my day off to get everything fixed the owner said there was nothing they was going To do because i should have came in sooner will not be going back and i go faithfully to get my nails and feet Done read more

Horrible experience! They treated me poorly because I had my child with me. I will never spend a dime here again.

I had a wonderful experience! They did exactly what I asked for on nails and I had a relaxing pedicure. The atmosphere is great and everyone is super nice and thorough! It is a bit pricey but they did a really good job. read more

The level of customer service here could use improvement. the prices aren't posted so they basically seem to charge what they please. I came in for a fix and a nail color change and feel that I was charged entirely too much for the look I received and the fact that you messed up the shape of nails I didn't even ask you to fix. The fixed nails are longer and no where near the same as what I had but yet you charge me for reshaping?? Never known that to happen. If I get a fix you fix it how it was shape included don't change extra to fix it!! Over 25$ for a fix and color change is over priced. Not impressed at all. Although this is a nicely decorated shop I'm overly disappointed. For me to be the only person in here on a Thursday at 5pm should have told me better. But oh well I've learned my lesson!! read more

Not impressed. I ended up doing the dip powder on my nails. I was left with noticeable smudges on 4 of my finger nails at the end. She didn't push back my cuticles. Wasn't really the full manicure service that other places provide. $40 for a mediocre dip powder only. read more

I would not recommend coming here. I went and paid to relax and the man that did my nails was so rude it was impossible to relax... I know people have bad days but it is your job to make it a luxury for your client. I do hair and nails and I know sometimes you've just got to worry about making sure your client is taken care of and not taking out your anger on a client. I hate I wasted my money coming here. I left very frustrated and disappointed read more

THIS PLACE IS THE WORST! I got a gel manicure and with in a hour a nail chipped. I went back and got it fixed. Later that evening another nail chipped. I went back the next morning to get that nail fixed and they "set" the nails again. Later that day another nail chipped. I will never go back to this place again and I will discourage anyone else going there. read more

GO ELSEWHERE This was the worst experience I've ever had. I got a manicure, almond shaped nails by a lady there. The nastiest attitude. The lady just started my nails WHILE on the phone. No introduction, no prices were discussed or displayed. She didn't verify that she knew what I wanted so I assumed that the young guy told her for me. I informed the lady that I was new to manicures so if she asked me questions bare with me. Long story short I tried smiling and being patient with her, she didn't say a word besides telling me not to touch my phone. She also gave me the wrong coat. DON'T PAY $65 FOR POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

Linda was not friendly. I requested a shape I've had for years but refuse to do it. Nails are too wide.

I would definitely recommend getting an appointment or you'll end up waiting forever. But Tony at Upstate Nails did a fantastic job! Would recommend to all. read more

Upstate Nails - French tip with gel polish. Looks fantastic! - Nail Salons Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

Very rude! My sister and I had planned a day of pedicures and manicures when I'm assuming the owner closest to the front of the business asked for my niece whom is a 2 year old child! Was looking at polish with me the woman looked over and said "do not let her break my polish". First of all she wasn't running wild and second off she was being watched! Point blank she's very rude and I recommend going somewhere else she did not get my money today! There needs to be a negative star review! read more

The guys are cool. The lady thats always in the front to the left, DO NOT let her do any of your services. She half ass everything. The older guy is the best with nails and the young baby face guy is the best with feet. The lady and the older guy will over charge you quick so ask how much everything is up front. read more
