Nail fungus from 1 visit
Nickie H.

Absolutely unacceptable experience -- both my daughter and I got nail fungus after just one visit. This was our first time at Wet Paint Nails, and sadly it will be our last. My daughter and I had our nails done by different nail techs, and yet within days, we both developed nail fungus. We've never had anything like this happen before, and a dermatologist confirmed the infections -- likely caused by unsanitary tools or poor hygiene protocols at the salon. When I called to report it, I was shocked by the manager's response. He told me that this "happens a lot" and that it's "not a big deal." Actually, it is a big deal. A fungal infection is a health issue, and it's absolutely unacceptable for any salon to dismiss it -- let alone admit it happens often. Now we're dealing with painful nail damage, expensive treatments, and the frustration of knowing this could have been prevented. Cleanliness and safety should be non-negotiable in a nail salon. I'm sharing this to warn others: think twice before booking here. No beauty service is worth risking your health.

What I asked for
LaRaine T.

What I asked for vs. what I got. I was told a design on every finger would be too much. Theyll do I guess. The pedicure felt rushed too

Winter nail

Winter nail. Vinh drew me a perfect set of hands. It's great

Always have a very pleasant experience at this salon!

Always have an amazing experience at this salon! NiNi does an amazing job with whatever design I send her!

I have been going to Kenny for several years and he never disappoints! I never tell him what i want, he just automatically knows! Kenny is the best!!!

Disgrace !!!

I'm trying to figure out how this nail salon is even still in business? So years ago I would come here off and on as a last resort and now I see and know why for sure . Yesterday my original nail tech at another salon couldn't fit me in so I had to resort to coming here . The nail tech that did my fill in and gel polish was the absolute worst and very seldom do I complain or even like to complain but when you're paying for services and get a half job it's not acceptable. Let me start by saying he polished my nails four times in a row because he could not get it right the polish kept rippling. Instead of taking all the polish off he proceeded to keep polishing over the same polish again and then realized oh this uv light must not be working . So he went and grabbed another light and was still having the same issues on the 4th try , it appeared he had finally got it right but I was still concerned because I do believe he probably should have taken the polish off instead of keep painting over it noticing it rippling . I was just as ready to go as he was as for me to go as well I'm sure ! When I got home and started washing dishes my gel polish begin peeling off like a sticker I couldn't believe it mind you had an event I had to be to within 30 minutes . I called and let the salon know & they non challantly told me to come up and he will correct it . I let him know it's no way I can make it back up there I have somewhere very important I have to be . The entire night I was embarrassed to even show my nails in pictures or anything. The next morning whiCh is today (1/21/22 ) I called up there expressing how I'm coming back to now get it corrected and trying to explain to the young lady that answered the phone how frustrated I was over this and she pretty much just brushed me off talked over me and was like yea yea just come on up he will correct it. I explained to her I want a different person to correct this I'm sure he knew nothing about this was right when I left the nail salon . No apologies , no sorries , no nothing from no one there , the guy that did them yesterday sat in the back of the salon chilling while he knew exactly who I was and what was going on as they spoke about it amongst each other in their language. The entire time I didn't say a word while the young lady they had correct everything and do them over . I finally asked her a question as she was finishing .I asked do you know what could have possibly caused this to happen . Her reply was maybe he used old polish , the machine wasn't working , then she finally says I'm sorry . So my point is from the time I called up there the day it happened til this morning you would think the first thing would have been an apology given from the people answering the phone the owners someone ! Customer service & communication is key and unfortunately this business does not have that at all and I will never ever in life return here if I'm desperate and can't get an appointment with my original nail technician. Worse experience of my life !!!!!

This is a wonderful nail bar that I would highly recommend. I have been going here for over two years now, and Megahn has been doing my nails each time. She is so wonderful and kind during our appointments. Megahn takes great care of my nails every time and I would recommend her to anyone who goes there! The shop itself is also peaceful and clean.

Best place ever! Clean, nice, welcoming. It is the only place I use now. They are so friendly. They…read moretake their time and seem truly glad to see you each time. I love my mani/pedis. I know it's a luxury now days but this place is worth it.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel others should know about my experience…read more The first photo shows the "work" done at Sami's. The other two photos were taken less than 20 minutes later after I went next door to Herbal Nail & Spa to have my nails repaired. I specifically asked for gel builder with a cat-eye gel polish before we started. I was assured they had experience with both. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Over the course of about 1.5 hours, three different technicians worked on my nails. They attempted to apply the black polish and cat-eye effect four different times, but each attempt failed. The explanations kept changing: they didn't have the right color, didn't have the correct magnet, or simply couldn't get the cat-eye effect to work. By the end, my nails were in terrible shape. The builder gel was uneven, my nails were different lengths and shapes, my cuticles were cut up, and the black polish had stained around my nails. Instead of fixing the problem, I was told I should "find my friend or somewhere else" to do the cat-eye design because they couldn't create the effect--only a plain black finish or plain cat eye with no effects. Throughout the appointment, the technicians were discussing the issue among themselves, mostly in another language. The only phrases I understood were, "I don't know," "Only me and Ann know this," "No right magnet," and finally, "You must pay." Despite not providing the service they said they could perform, I was still charged $55 for the gel builder service. I paid and walked out. Fortunately, I walked next door to Herbal Nail & Spa, and they were able to repair the damage almost immediately. The difference speaks for itself in the photos. I understand that not every salon offers every specialty service. My frustration is that they assured me they could perform a cat-eye gel builder manicure, repeatedly struggled through the process, damaged my nails, and still charged me full price. I cannot recommend this salon based on my experience.

I hated the way the nail tech was doing my nails. Didn't do my cuticles, came for a simple acrylic…read moretips and a soft pink color. My nails looked like they were already a week old. The shaping was horrible and made my nails look weird because she didn't use the same size nail on both hands. Then got an attitude because the color I chose didn't match the color in the bottle. Saying the polish is old. I ve come here multiple times and had to end the service just to get my nails done somewhere else. I will never be back rude and a waste of my time and money.

On a recent visit to Charlotte, I visited this nail salon. This location was across from the hotel…read moreI was staying in. This location is next door to the Pizza Hut. Free, ample parking. Prior to going, we called to ensure that the services we needed were available. The lady who answered was very friendly and helpful. Upon entering, we were promptly serviced. This place is a nice size that can easily accommodate at least 30 clients. So if there's a wedding party or a girls night out, this might be something to consider! Nice decor as well! They have a whole wall of color selections. My nail tech Dao was fast and efficient! I was pleasantly satisfied with my services. When I go back to Charlotte, I will definitely be returning. My phone was dying and the front desk guy charged it for me. I was extremely grateful as my charger was back at the hotel.
