    My nails about a week after appointment - Gel polish  Still staying strong!
    August G.

    Amazing. The talent here is remarkable! I was able to get a last minute appointment due to a cancellation but if you're wanting an appointment, you'll have to schedule for about 2-3 weeks out! Very very clean space with a super modern aesthetic to the shop. A bit pricey (compared to generic nail salons) but worth it for the quality! Hannah was my nail technician - she was easy to talk to and incredibly kind. Took her time. So pleased with my nails. Absolutely coming back.

    In my quest to find a better option for a business to get a mani & pedi, I found this new spot. However, I was not sure on who worked there & their quality of work. But I was intrigued with chic decor and up & coming location off of Limestone. A short time after my search, a previous nail tech I've experienced stated she was going to be starting at this location!!! Yay!!!! Karen is so passionate & great at what she does. I was so excited to see her again. Varnish is in a cool quaint location & the space is even better! Staff I encountered at my visit were welcoming & friendly. Covid protocols followed and comfortable spacing. Really appreciated the care and pampering. I'm glad Karen is here in a more accessible location. I'll definitely be her regular client!!

    This place is beautiful and the work they do is even better. The staff is so wonderful and friendly. Because they use vegan polishes the gel color selection is somewhat limited compared to other places, but their technicians will help you find the perfect color either by mixing colors or adding different top coats. I love Varnish, just wish they weren't so hard to get an appointment with but I guess that's because everyone loves them!

    My little blue nails were done perfectly. They were super nice and welcoming, definitely going back.

    Read great reviews about this salon, and had to check it out. Very clean, and sterile, wonderful staff. Cozy atmosphere. Absolutely loved my experience! Had holiday art nails with Rudolph done, and they are gorgeous! Loved my nail tech, Cameron. Will highly recommend! Going to bring my neice for her birthday next month!

    These peeps know wassup!! The shop is extremely clean and all of their tools are sanitary!! They don't do acrylic nails or drillling, which means no harsh fumes and dust!! Cara, my nail tech slayed my nails!! She took her time to make sure that they were perfect!! My nails are SO CUTE!! Their aesthetic is . So excited that there is a natural nail salon in Lexington that really cares about what they are doing and want the best for their guests needs! Their prices are very fair for what you get!! I will be back!! GO THERE!

    Hannah did my gel manicure and pedicure and she is AMAZING. I am so glad something like this is in Lexington. I have an autoimmune disease and I had to stop getting my nails done because the environment and products were so toxic. But this place not only does not use drills or acrylic, the polish they use is non toxic! You will be paying a teensy but extra at this place, but it is well worth it.

    Varnish Nail Shoppe is my all time favorite nail salon in Lexington. I came to them months ago when I had a terrible experience at a different salon. After a lot of research I found them because they don't use nail drills and only use manual nail files so there is less damage to your nails. They helped my nails grow and really treated me like family. All the employees are wonderful and really care about the clients they have come in. Overall, Varnish is an 11/10 in my book!

    When I walked in this morning, I had no idea I would be walking out feeling like I had a spa experience. The ambience is chill and so relaxing. The decor is rustic chic. All of the hanging plants and succulents give you earthy feel while the simplicity of the decor has minimalist undertones which I absolutely adore. Chemical free. Toxin free. All-natural. No harsh instruments tearing up my nail bed. I left with not only the best mani-pedi I've ever had but feeling completely relaxed and zen. Locally owned & operated, as well as women owned, they are setting a high bar for not just the Lexington area but anywhere. Once you've been I don't know why you'd want to go anywhere else.

    This super hip, affordable, friendly, and fun nail salon is the place to go for a beautiful manicure. Mine is two weeks old and is still going strong.

    I chose the Signature pedicure and Cara did an incredible job- very thorough but gentle, with great attention to detail.

    My first visit to Noir Nails was based on a recommendation from a family member. I decided to give…read morethem a try for my birthday since I wanted to do something outside of my usual. I made an appointment but unfortunately was delayed so I tried to reschedule online. I discovered that you can't make any changes to your reservation within 2 hours of the service so I just walked in about 15 minutes past my appointment time and let them know what happened. They were very accommodating and set me up with a nail tech immediately. Sophia did an excellent job on my nails. I showed her a pic of my inspiration and she did her interpretation that came out even better than the original picture. Sophia was very friendly and we chatted throughout my service. The salon is very nice with plenty of table and pedicure bowls for services. They also have a coffee bar and offer a variety of beverages including wine, cocktails and refreshers. I did not partake in any of the beverages and it seemed like a cross contamination risk to have drinks available in a place where nail services are being performed. Others may enjoy this, it's just not for me. The price was a bit more than I normally pay for my nails, but considering the excellent customer service and the ability to execute nails designs, I would come here again when I'm wanting to splurge or for a special occasion.

    I had a lovely time! Very pretty color and shape. Summer did a great job. :)…read more The place is big and the chairs are fun.

My sister and I went in and were the first ones in line without an appointment for the day. There were about 6 people in appointments line and about 8 behind us. We were the last ones to be seated. Again, everyone working is nice but you do not get the same service or even close. The lady doing my pedicure didn't do a good job on my cuticles at all. It was almost like they are in a competition to see who can finish first. We got the signature pedicure and were one of the first ones finished after being the last to be seated. This gets old and people get tired of returning to get that service. Technically it should take about 10 minutes to do cuticles when done right and that's minimum. Mine was finished in about 45 seconds on both feet. All the workers stand and wait for a tip after they have run you through like cattle. The way I see it if you cut my service to rush never expect a tip. The owner can give you a tip out the of service money. This is a very convenient place and I have been loyal but someone else may need to open up a salon in this area to complete.

Being from out of town, I don't have the ability to say that I've gone here several times because I haven't I can only provide information from what I experienced on one visit. My takeaway is to request an experienced nail technicians. The person who provided my services was nervous and did not seem very experienced. I say this, not as a criticism or complaint merely an observation from someone who has had quite a few manicures and pedicures. On the other hand, the person who was doing my friends pedicure was excellent very confident and did a superb job. Unfortunately, the person doing my pedicure kept making mistakes and redoing the polish. This resulted in a very long pedicure. I don't have a problem going to someone who's inexperienced if I am given the option of knowing someone is in training or new and being asked if it's OK if it takes a little bit longer because of it. However, in this situation, I would have preferred a more experienced technician my friend and I were going to the same wedding so we had the same time constraints. Her technician was able to provide her service in a timely manner so I do not believe I am being unreasonable when I say I experienced feelings of an annoyance in how long my pedicure took. Just as I was reaching my threshold of asking for a more experience person, she completed the work. The salon itself is relaxing, and the staff are delightful. Everything was very clean and they had a great selection of polish. No one tried to upsell surfaces neither of us asked to have and even with the delay on my pedicure we were able to continue our day without feeling, rushed prior to the wedding that evening.
