Before we begin, this photo is of my nails *FIVE* weeks after my manicure!!! FIVE!!! Yes, hard to believe I know, they still look so good!!! Okay I've been coming to West End Nails since 2022, they are the only nail salon I trust in Nashville! I no longer live in Tennessee but I was in town for a visit, then had an event the same day I landed back home, so needed to get a manicure during my trip. Manicure date: May 28, 2026 Photo Date: June 30, 2026 I only have a very slight chip at the bottom of ONE nail and it's barely noticeable. Last night my sister asked me if I had just gotten my nails done. These have lasted two music festivals, summer swimming and outdoor activities, and regular day to day. I did a standard gel manicure, nothing fancy, no special techniques or premium polishes. Also! The salon is so nice, I usually go with a friend and they put us next to each other so we can chat. They offer you a drink and make sure you're comfy. They also offer 5% discount with student ID! read more

West End Nail Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Started off really well, able to get a walk in and wasn't busy inside at all. Came in for mani pedi. As a guy just looking to get regular maintenance care done on my nails, my bar isn't that high...but one thing that is annoying is not getting at least the same level of treatment as other customers. A woman walked in, being served by another tech and was immediately asked if she wanted something to drink. It was until then I was offered a drink as well. Once I noticed that, I could see the different level of attention to detail to my service just fell flat. And to top it all off the charge was almost $100. A mani pedi no polish with just a buff, that's it. Maybe the value is there for other folks, but just a bad experience overall. read more

West End Nail Bar - Inside - Nail Salons Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

An actual bar in the center for getting fingernails done makes the name a perfectly exciting fit! The service was fast and snacks plus drink options were nice! I tried sparkle dry polish bcus I don't like gel/dip. It lasted 2 weeks! The nail tech was a bit spacey and messed up but all in all he was knowledgeable which helped ease my mind. I'll say, they don't use fresh kits for pedicures and I do believe I have symptoms from it. For the citrus pedicure they use artificial product versus fresh oranges. The free parking was a win. Go enjoy but ask for a fresh pedicure kit. read more

Worst nails I have had done in years. I left with crooked nails, which I told the guy twice about. My thumb nail came off in 2days. Wildly over priced and they don't even give you the service you asked for. I was charged $80 for a gel fill. Would not return or recommend read more

My pedicure took over an hour and I left with bleeding toes. The technician cut them far too short and kept knicking my skin. The service took FOREVER and was overpriced considering other salons in the area. I would not recommend read more

This place was great. It was really nice, clean, and I received great service. My nails look phenomenal! They took their time and had a lot of attention to detail. read more

A lovely space with clean facilities! I made a last-minute decision to get my nails done and did a walk-in in the morning, and had the place to myself. My tech was friendly and they have a million polish options. I would give my gel mani probably 3.5 stars though, just because it started chipping much sooner than I expected (a few days in), and the top coat was applied a little streaky. read more

First time here and was very pleased with my experience! The workers were friendly, they were efficient, and I loved the final product (without being too pricy)! Would definitely recommend read more

The service was excellent. The nail tech did a great job on my pedicure. Very professional, he took his time, we were happy overall

I come here often and have never had a problem until today. Great service and generally great attention to detail, but I am very disappointed in my nails today. I asked for a french tip, and as you can see, I did not get what I was expecting. I did not want to ask them to re do it and sit through a whole other set and waste both of our times, so I paid, left, and painted over them at home. Tried to give direction throughout the process, but not happy with the results. read more

Phear is the sweetest, kindest, most talented nail technician I've EVER HAD!!! I am really hoping that I've spelled her name correctly and please feel free to correct me if not It had been a while since I'd gotten manicure / pedicure (years) because I was really insecure and embarrassed with pigmentation on my legs but also the skin around my nails. Naturally I was feeling a little vulnerable but I felt comfortable to let her know all of this because of how sweet she was right off the bat. (Same with the sweet lady who welcomed and checked me in to appt ) Phear spoke life into me and helped build my confidence a lot within just a little over an hour appt. She kept complimenting my skin and giving me so much kindness, reminding me that our heart and how we treat others is what matters the most. She is now my queen! I will be coming back to see her each time and I'm very glad to have found this place :) really sweet staff as a whole and felt very taken care of I'll recommend them each time someone asks me read more

Very nice place I just wish they really get my cuticles I like their customer service every one is super attentive read more

Sam did an amazing job! He took his time and made sure my nails were cared for properly before applying my polish. Loveee my gel pedicure!

I came here because I had an emergency nail repair and my usual place was not available. This place was nice. I had Tim (nails) and Sardy (pedicure) it was a really good pedicure. Only thing is that I wish she worked more on my heels as winter tends to dry them up. I also paid more for it but didn't get it. She was super nice, very friendly, and attentive. They have a menu of pedicures you can select and also extras you can add to it. They have many pedicure chairs and they are very comfortable and they are not damaged (at least the one I was on). They use the protective plastic on the pedicure tub and use new tools from a sealed package. The place is nice and big and it's decorated on the fancy side. They offer wine, water, sodas, and mimosas. Their bathrooms were clean which is always a plus :) Tim did my nails. He was very polite and professional. I broke all my natural nails so he had to add tips to them. They don't offer acrylic (call me old but that's what has worked best with me after I tried everything else that is in the market right now) so I had to do the dip powder. I'm not a fan of it and for how expensive it is, it doesn't last as long. The shine goes away in a few days for me which it did and I'm so disappointed yet again. You also have to remove everything so you can change colors. I am surprised they haven't fallen off already so I'm going to assume they do use good products. The nails are shaped almond but they are not my favorite. They are wide and not natural looking how I like them. The shape is not almond in some of them even though he tried to fix them. My 2 out of the 3 natural nails that lasted are the only ones that look decent. They looked good with the fresh shine but after a few days the shine was gone and it revealed all the bumps and dents that were not buffed during the process. Side note: The color was the same number as my pedicure but they don't match so make sure if you are doing the same color as your toes to see the color from the SNS and not the polish. Overall this place is nice and they definitely try to do a great job so I will recommend it with this in mind. I definitely will come back for a pedicure. I just make sure I ask that they work on my heels more if it's during winter. read more

Cute place !! it's pretty inside with music playing. 3 hrs free parking once you walk in so don't pay for parking at the qr code in the lot, just pick 30 free mins and then walk in and scan their coupon. the girl who helped me was patient with me when i was deciding on the color and she showed me an example until i was satisfied. they gave me free wine which was nice. the nails itself are good, i'm happy with them. i do think they could be less thick and the right hand looks better than the left. i looked at other places before coming here and all their reviews showed lumpy nails. i was so worried mine would come out lumpy but nope!! read more

The best nail salon I've ever been to! I don't usually leave reviews on Yelp, but this place truly deserves recognition. Found this place because it's near my university, and I can never find a better place than West End. Prices are always reasonable and 100% worth it. Their acrylic nails are so long-lasting, durable, and look stunning. Always recommend anyone in the Nashville area to check them out :) Also, John can do absolutely anything!! read more

I've been going for several months every 3 weeks and always leave very pleased. It's been really hard to find a good nail place since I moved to Nashville but they do an excellent job. SNS by Manchin always lasts 3 weeks. Great, fast service. I've never had to wait and I'm in and out in 45 Minutes. Highly recommend! read more

Was in town and wanted to go with my daughters to get a mani pedi for a girls day. I looked at the reviews and they seemed good so we made an appointment. They weren't ready for us when we arrived but they were nice and the place had a lovely atmosphere. We enjoyed the experience but it was expensive 300 for 3 mani pedis with their most basic package the natural spa. The very next day my daughter's GEL nail polish started coming off and two days later mine completely came off. Do not get GEL here, not sure about the other services. Writing this review because I wish I would have known before spending 300 dollars before tip. read more

Didn't like the chairs and the dip powder nails I got done broke on several nails a week after getting them done when usually at othet places it lasts 3 weeks with no chipping. The vibe looked nice at first glance but set up was weird and confusing to me. read more

I just paid $30 (the most I've ever paid, by at least $5 - $8) for possibly the worst manicure I've ever received. I try to get my nails cut every once in a while to help me avoid biting my nails and scratching around the nail. So don't judge me for how my hands look. Lol But the tech def could have got me together better than she did. For $30 DOLLARS?!!!! read more

I've gone here 3 times now out of convenience and I'm happy there's a new salon opening up the road because I can't stand wasting so much money on poor service and quality. The first pedicure I got was so painful I was almost in tears. Once I got home, I realized some of my skin was taken off. Thankfully I had another woman for the manicure who actually was awesome (I'm not sure her name, but she has cats and we talked about them the whole time). The second pedicure went fine, but was nothing special. I feel like the do the bare minimum for a premium. The third mani pedi I brought my mom along and got gel removal, normal mani, normal pedi. My whole service took longer than my mom's normal pedi and gel mani. My nails weren't even at all, I had to ask to fix my toe nails and she seemed like she was arguing with me.. I understand if you aren't feeling well or need to get things, but my nail artist left me several times during the pedicure which slowed the process and didn't make sense. I'll say pros: Convenience - close to where I live Young woman who works the books & organizes is nice and effective Lots of colors and services available It's fine if you want something basic, maybe your nails as pedis are only a 33% success rate. I feel like they need quality control - audit the process so everyone is getting top tier service for the prices we're paying. read more

Came in for a dip manicure. Lasted about one hour so it was quick but Sophia did a good job! Definitely on the pricier side, with tip extensions, French nails, and special shape plus tip it was almost $100. What was a little frustrating was they used a communal dip pot and for that much I would definitely expect a nice salon like this to be using individual powder. I love the manicure, it turned out great! Don't know if I would return based on the fact that it didn't feel totally hygienic, especially for what I was paying. Pros: beautiful nails, nice atmosphere Cons: pricey, unhygienic dip read more

Overlay services which do not constitute tips, glue or the amount filing and shaping is priced at the same rate as a full set. I observed other patrons offered drinks etc. as well as finishing hand lotion massage in which I was not offered. As a first time out of towner, they failed at the southern hospitality that I experienced throughout Nashville. $75 for an overlay and gel polish that does not have manicure services bundled inside of it feels a little over priced. Nail tech did a good job, only had to give him a few pointers on size. They have awesome color selection and the ambience is top tier. I felt like that was ultimately what I was paying for the esthetic.!!! When I asked why the pricing was the same for a visibly less service, I was told because it was less confusing, meanwhile I was extremely confused how a service with less steps and material costs the same. I guess its the real estate agent in me. read more

I've already had one acrylic nail fall off and I got them done 4 hours ago. it took me almost 2 hours to get my nails done and they're just french tips. the people there were nice but didn't seem welcoming like the other places I've been. I don't recommend if you're wanting a good quality manicure and something to be done good but quick. I would love a refund so I can get these fixed asap!! read more

Just discovered this place upon leaving my massage at Massage Envy. I was long overdue for a pedicure in the midst of our 2020 pandemic. The sign said "open" and they had a good star rating on Yelp... so of course I was happy I had a few extra minutes on hand to give these guys a try. So happy to have come in today! - Beautiful and clean salon. - Great color selection. - Smiling happy people (the salon gurus AND the customers :) - a BETTER massage than I had just paid for at Massage Envy (& that was great too!) - Plus I now have beautiful toes - which will only show themselves between the slippers and boots now that it's getting cold - but they make me happy Huge shout out to Tan. Seriously wonderful massage and great job on the polish! I usually travel to Green Hills, but this is my new go-to nail salon! They knocked it out of the park. (For comparison reasons : like many nail salons, you will sit in a massage chair, get your foam flip flops in case you didn't pack your own & complimentary wine, water, etc. ) read more

We called ahead and were told that they could fit us in. Four of us received regular full sets and one gel manicure. My experience was not the best. This is probably the worst manicure I have ever received. My nails have air bubbles in them and you can definitely see the brush strokes on my nails. You can't see them in the pictures but my nails totally suck. It was a waste of $55. I tried to tell him that they were messed up but he insisted that the top coat polish would fix them. After a couple of days, my nails developed this stifff clear paste at the ends, not sure if it's glue but I have never had this before. My sisters and cousins like their nails and their nails turned out nice. For their experience they gave this place 4 stars. My experience is a 1 star. Benefit: they provide a mimosa while you get your nails done. read more

I have been here a few times and typically have really great service but sometimes it depends on who your tech is. This past time, Manich was my manicurist and did my dip (see photo). She has done my nails once before and did an AMAZING job with white nails in the summer (white nails sometimes turn yellow with sunscreen but mine were great and lasted a long time). She also did an amazing job this past time and always checks to make sure that I am happy with the length on all my nails-- Definitely will request her from now on. The time before this though, I had someone else and I get it was the evening, but she seemed very very rushed on my dip manicure. Overall, I'll continue going back and if you are concerned about COVID- they are also doing a great job. read more

What a great new gem. I feel like this is going to be my new go-to nail salon. It only took long enough to do it. I love how sanitized it was and how clean they were with taking care of everything between customers. Being in a pandemic, I pay a LOT of attention to these details. The customer set was as nice as the atmosphere. Super friendly, accommodating, and open to talking to you about any questions you had about their services. Clientele was mainly centered around Vanderbilt being that it is next to the university. Prices are reasonable and a price point that matches the demographic for the area. I got a pedi and my eyebrows done. I was happy with everything completed! I can't wait to go back. I look forward to it. read more

Just had the best manicure and dip/tip set I have ever had in my 15 years getting my nails done. Ask for Johnny! Took his time, paid attention to detail and made suggestions that really made my nails pop. And he was friendly to boot! 10/10 and 5 gold stars read more

Wow, so happy I found this place - had the best dip manicure with Kati. Recommend for sure! SO CLEAN, covid aware/safety measures in place. (Shields between client/manicurist, constant cleaning, spaced out seating If the clients didn't come together. They take appts but we walked in and were seen immediately on a Friday morning. Lots of colors to choose, and probably the best manicure I've had in awhile, very thorough - about 40 mins. Great arm massage. read more
