My girlfriend and I came here to get waxing and nails done. we were seated immediately as we had appointments over the phone. The mother sister duo was incredible. The wax was virtually painless which is a miracle. For the waxing I would say 5 stars. Our nails looked okay when we left it was just simple polish but there were some odd things. First the station itself just doesn't look very professional and clean. There's an iPad at the station playin television which I don't love. Next one woman had multiple calls while doing nails to her daughter which she put on speaker phone. A woman walked in who had an appointment at 3. By 3:10 when she wasn't being seated she said she was on a tight schedule and left. A little much but also I understand. That's why you make an appointment. This happened twice. That would annoy me for sure. The nails. Well there was no base coat so of course within 2 days the nail polish chipped off my fingers. What a bummer. Then there's a wall behind the two stations of about 40 colors. You don't get to walk behind and pick. You tell her the idea of color you wanted and she shows you some. It's a little strange and pushy. Not sure why you would do it that way I have to take away some stars for the nails because they just were not done well and chipped in 48 hours. However they were delightful to speak with and super close to MCAS. UPDATE edit: do not go here. I ended up at the doctor because the wax was so hot it burnt my skin. I had intense pain and burning and it actually gave me a bacterial infection. read more

A picture is worth 1000 words. See my photos for what my nails looked like. I haven't had acrylic nails in 10 - 15 years and was unsure what they should like like after fills. So I found a forum of professionals and showed them the above image. Every one of them confirmed my feeling that it was a poor job and said to have them removed and find a new salon. This photo was taken 2 weeks after a back fill and 2 months after having them put on. I was paying $25 - 35 a visit for a fill and since the first fill have been completely embarrassed by how they looked and kept them covered in polish. As some other reviews stated, there was gossip being slung around the entire time. Personal phone calls were taken while I was in the chair, pauses for the manicurist to do some texting, their children sitting around asking clients personal questions. It's a very relaxed atmosphere, but I think it's a bit too relaxed. They seem to have forgotten they're a business and not a quilting bee. At the advice of professionals, I will not be returning to this salon and will begin my search for a salon that will do a better job, respect my time, and act professionally. Edit 3/26/15 For those who doubt that these were done at All-American, I can assure you that they were. They were done by both the older woman (owner) and her daughter. I paid with a credit card and have receipts and bank statements. I have no personal "agenda" other than to prevent this from happening to other people. Nor is this slander, the pictures and receipts are proof enough, and I'd bet they'd remember me if I walked back in the salon. I'm glad you had a better experience, but not everyone has been treated the same, or gotten the same quality service. I was VERY lucky I didn't end up with a nail infection. The salon in Morehead City I went to to have these removed at was astounded at how bad they were. I stopped at a different salon in Havelock for an opinion and they were also shocked at how poorly done they were and how at risk I was for an infection due to the air pockets. I couldn't even have anything put back on my nails because they were in such poor condition. I just want to make people aware that this was my experience with this salon, and it WAS at All-American Nails! read more

They don't get any stars. I was exciting to get my nails done for my birthday and I knew when heather had an infected nail on her own hand I should've left. I also should've left when she told me it was 40$!! But I stayed. She made me 4 times each on different fingers. All my nails were crooked the polish and glitter looked like shit. Not to mention the whole time she had her daughter in her hands the whole time she was doing my nails. It was not clean at all. Very unsanitary. Not going back ever again. read more

When I moved to NC I found it hard to find a place that does brazilians, let alone find a place that does brazilians using hard wax. For those of you that have gotten brazilians know that you have to feel very comfortable with the person and she makes you feel so comfortable. No windows& its in a separate room and very clean. Loved it and will definetly go back! read more

I really appreciate these ladies. I needed a last minute pedi and they took me in 10 minutes before they opened. She was extremely nice and delicate while doing my nails. Additionally she was informative. read more

I went to All American Nails for the whole 5 years we were in Havelock. Loved going in there and getting my nails and then my hair done. Never had any problems with anything. Loved all the people and I miss them very much. read more

Please don't waste your money. The older woman was not good. She was rude and a smart ass. Not to mention, with how my nails came out I could've done it myself. Barely had any options for colors and kept reminding me how bad my cuticles were. She was bashing businesses that weren't American and it was very uncomfortable and awkward especially considering I am a mixed race individual. My friend and I went today and are never going there again. Awful experience read more
