This is by far my favorite salon in Harrisonburg! I've gotten my eyebrows done twice there, and both times I was extremely impressed with the results. They also do a fantastic job with acrylic nails. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is wonderful. They also have discounts for students and a loyalty program that saves you some money as well. I absolutely recommend this salon over all others in Harrisonburg. Go try it!! read more

I just recently went in BLINDLY to get my eyebrows done. I had never heard of Vally Nails before. This is by far the best eyebrow waxing I've gotten in Virginia. NOT KIDDING! I walk in and was seen right away but what really got me was the time put into my waxing. The woman (mistakigly didn't get her name) waxed my eyebrows to precision! She spent her sweet time on each eyebrow getting it perfect. It was great and now when ever I'm in Harrisonburg Vally Nails will be my go to salon for my precious eyebrows. =O) read more

Rushed, sloppy, unmindful of customer. Basic manicure - The technician was not observant while filing and applying color. Asked for me to pay up front for service. The color was running out from the start so I asked if I needed to switch - answer was no. Halfway through replaced it herself with a slightly similar and really horrid color. Clear coat is stuck to my fingertips and bits of color are somehow on my knuckles. Very unhappy with my experience :( nice, never rude, but my technician did not show pride in her work. read more

This was the WORST manicure I ever received in my life. The employees made me feel very uncomfortable as they talked to each other -not just casual but seemed like they were arguing over something with me because another lady came over after hearing them fight and she asked to see my nails... The stations where they paint the nails are dirty and have no mats, therefore there were nail shavings all over the surface probably from last customers... No cuticle oil was applied therefore not doing a good job because I feel like I could have done a better job. No lotion for my hands to massage them. Went right into painting my nails but the polish was very thick and sticky therefore not applying well. My guy had to keep fixing everything around my nail because he constantly got polish on my skin. Then after every time he fixed it he would say "see? good" but in reality it was not good. Overall it was just not a pleasant experience because of the people working there, the facility itself, the horrible service. You can bet that I did not tip (which I have never not tipped before) and that I will never be going back there again. That experience made me so angry that it made me write my first review ever. read more

I don't really understand the negative reviews for Valley Nails, but I guess everyone has different experiences. I went in today to get my acrylic nails off and opted for a more natural gel manicure. Most places I have been have filed and painfully removed the tips with a sharp object. At valley nails it was a pain free process of just a soak and rub off. It took a little time but was NOT painful and did not leave my nails in a horrible condition (what happens when I usually get my fake nails removed). I then got a GREAT gel manicure done which the technician gave me 3 coats unlike most places I have been who have only given me 2. This left my nails shinier and more vibrant than had he just used 2 coats like most places. Also I've had a problem in the past with nail technicians not listening to how short I want my nails. Usually they are left longer than I want even after insisting I want them shorter. At Valley Nails they made sure I was happy with the results and listened to my needs carefully. The gel manicure was followed by a relaxing pedi and lots of OPI nail polish options to choose from. I had a great experience at Valley Nails and I will definitely be returning. Oh and they have a great new points system where you can earn rewards/cash towards future visits-- the FIRST time I have ever seen a nail salon offer this. Go to Valley Nails and you won't be disappointed! read more

Valley Nails - love my gel manicure and design! so shiny! - Nail Salons Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

Sloppy. I have been there a few times to get my eyebrows done, the woman who has done my eyebrows never does the top of the brow and I've always had to ask her to do it and she seems completely irritated that I'm asking her to do so. I recently got my nails done for the first time, and was really unimpressed. I chose to do a gel manicure for a special event. The technician was fine at filing the nails, but ended up cutting 5 of my fingers with the cuticle cutter, making it really painful to wash my hands the rest of the week. When she filed my nails there was a lot of dust and she didn't end up wiping off my nails or have me wash my hands so there was nail dust in my polish. Then to top that off I think the polish old, it didn't go on smoothly and on a few of my nails are a little clumpy looking (nail dust and old polish). I noticed the clumpy-ness later that day in the natural light. The manicure was priced at $25 and there was a sign that said 10% off with a student ID, I showed my ID and the woman did nothing...I chose my battle and decided to just pay and leave. The owner is a really nice guy, friendly and welcoming but the rest of the people there don't talk during your services, it's so awkward. If you go, perhaps request him? He's super sweet. If you're looking for a cheep manicure, I suggest this place. read more

Good service, love the iPads while you do a pedicure, and the points-reward system. This seems like a family run place, and has been in business for a long time. A group of 3 of us wanted to do mani-pedis for a moms afternoon out and they were able to accommodate us even though we had not made an appointment (usually I would but this was a last minute plan!). We had a great time, we were not in a rush, and it took a while, but it was nice to feel the technicians were taking their time. Wonderful hot towels for the pedicure, a really large selection of polish colors too. We had a great time, it was affordable, and I will be back. read more

My friend suggested we go to Valley Nails after she and her mother had a good experience there. Thomas and his other nail technicians did a great job. They were thorough and neat, making sure to clean up any little spots of polish. I also got my eyebrows waxed, which I was very pleased with. read more

I've been to the establishment about 4-5 times and continue to be impressed by their services. The customer service and care I receive is above and beyond. Each time I come I really feel taken care of and every one there treats you like family (asking about your life and making jokes). I feel so comfortable. I always get gel manicure and pedicures and absolutely LOVE the service each time. I will continue coming back! read more

Absolutely loved this place! I walked in and Kassandra did my nails and I love them! 25$ for gel, super cheap and super nice! They're also all very sweet there read more

I got to Valley Nails a few times a year. They always get me in and out fast and I think they do a good job.

I received a manicure from the older woman on a Tuesday evening. It was terrible. There was no cuticle cream and she rubbed a tiny drop of lotion into my arms which turned into basically just uncomfortable rubbing my dry arm hair around. The nail polish is thick and doesn't dry well (making me think it is old) and I have more hangnails than I had before going. I left with visibly dry hands and thick sticky nail polish. Obviously I will not be going back. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS NAIL SALON! I have been patronizing nail salons in Harrisonburg since 1994 and while there is a nail salon on every corner, I have returned to Valley Nails many times because it is convenient. However, after my daughter's experience this week, never again! She went there because I bought her a gift certificate...she was there for 2 hours, and received 3 cuts... 2 on her feet and one on her hand!! All because a new employee was in training! I called the salon and spoke with management /owners....apologetic, sure, but too little too late. In addition, management was observing the new employee while she CUT my daughter 3 times! I suggested that if their staff needs training they should practice on THEIR family, not mine! Spare yourself the PAIN and go elsewhere!! read more

I was extremely dissatisfied. The nail tech was rude and gave me attitude about the color I chose. She even went as far as talking about it to her fellow nail tech and taking my foot up in the air and showing her. It took her a total of exactly 20 minutes to do a pedicure from the time I stepped through the door. There is no where she would have done a decent job in that time. The atmosphere is nasty, and did not feel sanitary.. It was disgusting to put my feet in the water. I dont even know what any one of you are talking about. Seriously... I've read reviews before coming this this place and was so excited because they were all so great! Usually, if a place is bad, Im like- its okay, better luck next time. But I am telling you, it felt like the biggest waste of my precious money. read more

Went in for a gel manicure and was immediately regretting my decision. The woman in charge of doing my nails was treated awfully by the family that owned this business. The son proceeded to ridicule her and speak to her as though she were beneath him. Throughout my entire service the woman (Sue-Lee) was always standing over her shoulder and frequently yanked my hands from the woman doing my nails to show her the "proper" way to do things. I felt so uncomfortable every time she would walk by and I wasn't even the one getting ridiculed! I thought we had caught a break when Sue-Lee went to give someone a pedicure but nope-her husband came over and took the reigns. Never in my life have I been so on edge just getting a manicure. Extremely unprofessional. Very poor way to run a business. I'm convinced that the tip I left for the woman that did my nails will not even get to her. My nails turned out very good but I will not be returning do to these events that I witnessed there. read more

This place was HORRIBLE! Greedy workers who will try and BULLY you into a tip!!!! I am never one to write reviews but as soon as I got home this afternoon I knew I needed to write one about this place! From the very beginning the workers were rude..no one greeted me nor said anything else to me for that matter. They had me sit down at a pedicure station that was SO dirty! the lady tried to use tools that had not been cleaned until she saw me staring at her in disbelief. I made sure to say thank you after everything she did but she never uttered one word back to me. The ONLY time she spoke was to tell me that i needed designs on my toes..after about 5 mins of me politely telling her no she stopped but glared at me the entire time afterwords...I am assuming she wanted the extra cash since designs cost more. The WORST part was that when she asked for me to pay while i was at the dryer, she told me the total was 20...i gave her a 50 and she gave me 25 back...when I asked her where the other 5 was she GLARED at me and pulled it out of her pocket...she then stood beside me for 5 mins and glared at me and my wallet expecting me to give her a tip..I always tip..but this was making me feel very uncomfortable and angry. she then made a very rude loud grunt noise and began yelling in her language. all the while she continued to glare at me while she was cleaning up..when the dryer shut off she came over took my shoes glared at me and said" you give me no tip?!" it was the most uncomfortable situation I have ever experienced at a salon. I will NEVER go back to this place..I was expecting a nice pedicure before my masters program graduation and I left feeling bullied to give their business money and absolutely disrespected. On top of their rudeness this place is fifthly . Do not waste your time or money to go here, you will NOT be treated with respect or kindness read more
