On 1/11/2026, 11 days after my initial visit to Adore nails, after my previous review about the issues with my nails, I was getting dressed for church and the nail on my pinky came completely off. This is the 2nd nail to come off in 11 days. I went back to Adore nails to get my nails fixed (please see my previous review where the owner told me they would fix my nails as many times as I needed). The owner Trang Nguyen (Tan) did my nails, he did a wonderful job and I love them. When I was preparing to leave we spoke at the cash register in private. He said that he fixed all my nails, gave me a new set but he would only CHARGE ME $40 for the set, I said I thought you were correcting the mistake, he said I gave you a full set which will last 3 more weeks. He then said I will just charge you $30...this really took me by surprise because: 1. Nina did a horrible job on 1/1/26 2. My nail chopped and the polish turned pink by 1/3/26. I spoke to the owner, Trang Nguyen (Tan), asked if she could redo them, which she did with the same attitude and poor service. 3. A nail came off completely on 1/8/26, during that visit I asked Tiffany if she could redo my nails, which she said she couldn't because they were already old (after only 7 days and 2 mistakes later) 4. After my review, Trang Nguyen (Tan) told me to come in and he would fix my nails as many times as I needed 5. Another nail came completely off on 1/11/26. I went in and was charged. I paid the $30 mainly because I intended to tip him because I liked my nails and service. Then Tan asked me for the 2nd time if I could remove the 1star review. He said the next time just come talk to him and he would fix the problem and the next time they would put me with someone who could do a better job on my nails. Due to the constant nail repairs, poor service, being charged for your employee's mistake, paying $100 on a set of nails without design or anything special, you have forever lost me as a customer and I will not remove this or the other review because others should know about this experience. The only way to fix and remove this review would be to offer a full refund and when a customer comes in the future, take their complaints seriously and fix the issue the first time. read more

My experience with Tony was lousy. He kept touching my hands acting like I didn't keep still, I did kept my hand still. He did this three times. My daughter and were talking and she saw what he did. I thought it was very rude and very unprofessional. I am 63 years old not two.I have other techs that I am able to talk with and they also do a better job. I will never let Tony do my nails ever again. I am totally disappointed and disgusted with how I was treated. read more

Went here for my nails done by Tiffany. My nails started chipping a week later. Went back in to get chipped nail fixed. Nail tech did a poor job they told me to come back they would fix my nails at no cost (screenshot attached) or I never would've NEVER went back at all. Get to end they charge me full price and only give me 10% off instead if I delete my previous review and charge an extra $22 for the "shape" of the nail(screenshot attached). Have permanently lost a customer! DO NOT waste your money! I will be reporting them. read more

Nina gave me the worst pedicure I've ever had in my whole life. It lasted a whopping 15 minutes start to finish. And she just like petted my feet for a minute as the "massage" terrible rushed pedicure, when it's supposed to be a relaxing treat. read more

I was nicked and made to bleed during the manicure and they acted like there was something wrong with me for pointing it out. Then I paid $50 for the dip/powder manicure that is supposed to last 3-4 weeks. The nails began to fall off one by one after one week. Needless to say, this was distressing because I was traveling and attending special events for the holidays. When I returned today to show them what happened they (Tan and Tiffany) were very rude, again did not apologize, and acted like there was something wrong with me for bothering them about this issue. They removed the remaining 5 nails at no charge (duh) but made me wait and spoke rudely to me the entire time. read more

Tan has been doing my nails well over a year. he always does a great job and takes his time. always makes sure I'm happy with it before I leave. read more

I've been coming here for a couple years now and I always really like it! I don't get my nails done often but they always do a god job when I do. I had a nail break a couple days after getting them done (my fault, not theirs) and they fixed it no charge. I get a full set with tips and I always love the outcome! read more

The service here is so great and welcoming! The employees are so talented at what they do and my friends have gotten designs on full set acrylics, and they've turned out beautiful! Would highly recommend! read more

By far one of the best nail salon experiences and results. The salon was clean and welcoming and they were very sweet to my children. 10/10 highly recommended. Angela did my full set and I cannot express how perfectly she got the shape. I wish I lived closer so they could be my regular spot. read more

Sury did my pedicure and full set today. This was one of the best pedicures that I ever had. She was so good! The massage was perfect, and she took her time but didn't linger. She did a great job on my fingernails, too. I would definitely ask for Sury on your pedicure. I got the spa pedicure and it was the one that I would choose anytime. read more

This was my 3rd time seeing Tan. I have to keep my nails short. Tan has done an amazing job on my nails every time. They are short but elegant. He takes his time and makes sure that he gets them perfect. He did my daughter's nails for her Vegas wedding. They were absolutely gorgeous, and she was ecstatic! The salon is beautiful; very modern and clean. I highly recommend Tan and Adore Nail! read more

I'm disappointed in this place. I've tried it a few times and it's just so so. The first few times when they just opened was nice. Now it's very mediocre at best. This last time I was in for a pedi/mani. I was really excited for the pedicure because I haven't gotten one in months. My biggest complaint is they had a new lady doing pedicures. She wasn't very good at it and she was holding all of the tools the wrong way. I knew something was up when the nail clippers came out and she was holding it upside down. I should have made her stop right then and there. She ended up cutting a huge portion of my nails but before she could clip it off. I had to stop her and take the clippers and trim the nail myself. What was really disturbing is I tried to explain it to the other lady and she said that she can glue the nail back so it can heal and shouldn't be a problem. Well we are one week in and we have a problem. I basically realize that the nail never healed and that it snags on my socks. I basically have a hairline crack now and have to decide if I should just cut it off and have a huge piece of my toenail missing or go back there to get it fixed. I'm not sure I trust my nails with them anymore. So sad... could be a really great place but there something lacking about this place. I am positive I won't be visiting this salon again. read more

So I'd been in town about 2 weeks and my sister gave me a gift certificate to Adore Nails. Of course being new in town I needed to find a place to get a little pampering done. The salon is bright and airy and very clean. Anna was the girl who helped me and she was probably the sweetest thing ever. After two weeks of moving and walking around in flip flops my toes needed a definite bit of pampering. She was personable and professional and made sure I felt all sorts of relaxed. I've been back since my initial visit and have to say I got the same amazing level of service from Anna on my first visit. Can't wait to go back! read more

Angela did an amazing repair, full set of nails with a holiday French manicure plus lovely pedicure! Exceptional service! Thank you!!

Haven't gotten my nails done in a year and decided to give Adore a try. I loved them! They were so sweet and I was in and out of there in less to an an hour with a gel manicure and eyebrow wax. My nails were super short and I'm very content with what Tiffany was able to do with that. I will be back!! The pricing is more than reasonable. read more

Walked in on what seemed a very busy Sunday afternoon but was getting my pedicure started in less than 5 minutes. Tried the spa pedicure and it was wonderful. My manicure went equally well and am very pleased with my results overall. I think I have FINALLY found someone that understands what I wanted done with my nails. I will happily return! read more

I thought third time might be a charm. If you value your time avoid this place at every angle. Yes they are nice they are polite. Make sure when you go you ask for an accurate wait time. I went in and asked for just a pedicure and normally when you do that they say pick out your color they start your water and you're sitting in the chair. I've waited for 45 minutes and no one was available to do a pedicure. When I got up to leave she said they're almost done it'll be about another 20 minutes. Like I said if you value your time do not go to adore nails. This is the third time that I've walked out of the place with zero service. read more

I've gone to this nail salon many times and they always do an excellent job. This time i'm here to talk about what a great experience I had with one of their employees Suri, she was super detailed on my nails and made sure to leave my nails perfect! I'm super pleased with her work and customer service. read more

This place was overwhelmingly disappointing. A friend and I went to get full sets. When we walked in one of the employees was getting her hair straightened by another employee at the nail counter. The one getting her hair done begun to do my nails and was very messy. One even broke before she got the powder on. When I told her I wanted coffin she completely gave up! I had to wait for my friend to finish getting her whole set done so that her tech, the very sweet owner, could do mine. The shape she gave me was still horribly looking closer to Almond than Coffin and there is visible glue all around the nails! Both accent nails broke shortly after, at which point I took my business to Nails Art where they did a phenomenal job with shape and quality. This pic was taken on my way to get a new set there, highly recommend. They actually take their time and care about the outcome. read more

Came in for a nail repair. Very clean but the staff does not greet you and it took 50 (FIFTY) minutes for them to fix one nail-- and I had an appointment. Waste of time to say the least. read more

I went in for a fill in (I got them done at posh nails two weeks ago and it was a great experience) thinking it's gonna be 25 or 30 dollars because everywhere else charges that but they charged me 35 that's what I paid at posh! I asked for them to be oval because I got that at posh and I know not all places are the same but today(day after) I noticed my fingernails are two different lengths!!!! Whattttt! I'm so disappointed! I will definitely be going somewhere else for my fill in! Oh and not to mention when I went up to pay she reached out to grab my card without telling me how much it costed! read more

New to the area so trying to find the right fit. This is not it. The gentleman was very nice and I really liked him. The issue is he feels a base coat is not needed when you have your nails dipped. He only did the two coats of color. Of course they cracked. Giving 2 stars one for the nails looking nice for the first week and the second because I really liked him. read more

Came in no one greeted us we wanted the works and then waited no one asked what we wanted for 20 minutes. Then the guys doing my feet was so rough that I said 4 times it hurt then I asked for ombré and they said they could but the lady was so nasty she walked away with attitude then wanted to charge me more to file them with no discount for the terrible service . Also this response will be used in a criminal charge against you for slander read more

I asked for butterfly nails and the only person that was there to do them was kiara and she did good. My only thing was how they hovered over her like she didn't know what she was doing, I've been going to her since she first started doing nails and she has GROWN. I love adore nails keep up the good work! read more

I am so impressed with the professional service that I received today from Angel. I am from Washington DC and came to vacation at Wrightsville beach. I arrived at the salon right before closing and she still allowed me in. She took her time and did an excellent, detailed job on my mani-pedi and brow waxing services. If I was local I would absolutely see Angel for all of my salon services! Very nice clean salon - wonderful experience! read more

I love this place. I got a fill in with two nail replacements and gel polish plus a pedicure with gel (first time). I loved the environment and everyone , especially Trang, was great. I am going back next week to try out their eyelash extensions. I am here staying at the beach and am looking forward to seeing how the gel holds up and getting more services each time I am in town. Immaculate salon and happy place to be. I will report back on the lashes! read more

Had a great 1st experience. Took my daughter for a fill in and her friend got a manicure. Very courteous, greeted by owner the moment we walked in. We were all very satisfied with our beautiful nails when they were finished. Will be going back next weekend to try the pedicure services. I will update my comments @ that time but if today was an indication of the customer service I'm sure I have found my new go to for my mani-pedi needs. I have paid a little less for a full in at other places but it is so worth it. You truly get what you pay for. read more

I went in for a French tip full set. The gel was put on so thin that within 6 days, I had a large crack. Now, 8 days later, I have a huge chip out of another. The surface is uneven. Very poor work. read more

I dropped in for a pedicure the last hour before closing on a Sunday and they were very polite and got me right in. I actually had driven around a bit and other places were very packed with customers waiting and I was apprehensive of procedures and sanitation because I used to be a Licensed Manicurist. Adore Nails turned out to be close to my studio which worked out better for me and there was hardly any wait. I saw their Grade A on the wall as soon as I arrived. Anna spoke to me as soon as I walked in. They are very clean and I felt confident in letting them work on my feet. I am a Fitness Instructor so I needed the massage on my tendons and my feet are my lively hood. Thank you, Anna! read more

Nails started chipping after shower.. then when washed dishes they just started chipping off on every nail.. they were focused on everyone but not as an individual.. uneven and sloppy would never go back. 160 $ for nails to last less then a day. read more

Pretty decent eyebrow waxing. She did take her time and did a good job even though they were busy and I was a walk in.
