I needed a pedicure and that's what I got. Lucy is a great technician. I had the deluxe pedicure. That's right with the parafin and hot stones. I also treated myself to the gel. The vibe was real cool. read more

Last week I came in to get a fill on a set of acrylic nails that I also had done at the salon. They over charged me for the service. They charged me as if I got a new set and not a fill. Also every time I get an acrylic set done here at least one nail breaks. At first I thought it was me but after the third set I realized that it's the nail salon and not me. After the third consecutive set broke I called the salon and asked if I could come in to get my nails fixed. They said yes and that it would be no charge to me. I go in person and after they fix my nails they ask how I'm going to pay. The nail tech and I get into an argument after he claims that I broke the nails myself on purpose to get a free service. Eventually he tells me that I should just go. But after this experience I will never return to this salon. read more

10/10 would recommend-- the salon was clean and the technicians polite. I'll definitely be backs

avoid they up charge you and then want you to pay the technician directly Charge you$20 extra from the listed price for a pedicure because they applied gel polish even thought takes less time. read more

This was my first time visiting this salon. I selected the stone pedicure from the list given & it was $40. I never did get stone...instead she rubbed some warm oil on me... I didn't feel like arguing so I didn't say anything. Then when I was checking out the manager kept repeating Cash App Zell Cash App Zell over and over and over. . It turns out they charge you a fee if you pay another way. I was then told my total was $76!!!when it was listed as$40!!! I questioned the girl & she just said this was how much it was ;& I NEVER EVEN GOT STONE!!!! Needless to say this place is a RIP OFF!!! THEY ARE THIEVES!!! read more

Service requested: spa pedicure. Quality: work was done quickly and everything looked great at the time. Vibe: chic, clean, comfortable. Only 4 stars because the nail polish started coming off within 36 hours. read more

I'm a business owner so I'm acutely aware of how challenging it could be to serve our public. However, it's what we choose so we have to do our absolute best always. My 4th visit was a disaster. The tech is clearly a novice or simply does not care about quality of work. I had to show him how uneven my nails were after he filed; how misshaped one hand was verses the other; and finally, how to polish the corners on my nails. For context, I have acrylic over my natural nails which are pretty good length. He was rough from the inception but I tried to be nice and give him the benefit of the doubt. I believe I especially did this because I simply didn't want to cause a scene. Often times as a Black woman if you have a legitimate complaint we hesitate because of the immediate labels. I honestly regret not switching techs. At the end of the service (in the light) I see how the polish is bumpy. I shared this with the manager - dismissed! Everyone is their own "business" so she cannot fix it. She wanted me to go back to the same man who had caused this harm and uncomfortableness. The worst part is, I'd brought my friend so that she can get a mani and pedi before her trip to Dubai. What a disappointment for us both! Do better and respect the customers you have and what they do to drive business. We need the service and you need the customers - we're interdependent so stop acting like this and treating people (mostly Black women) poorly. It's clearly articulated too many times in your reviews! read more

I work in the area and wanted a fill in. My nails were lifting 3 days later. The manicurist nicked me twice with the file & doubled down by BUFFING the spot she cut me! I have no intentions of going back. The vibe was awkward, the manicurist was completely silent. This is the worst set I've ever had. No one has money to WASTE. And I wasted money going to this salon. read more

They are racist and as nasty as it gets! I came in with a broken nail and asked for them to help me fix it. The lady was beyond gross, I explained to the guy at the desk, he told me to pay and get out. I left with my nail not done! I do not recommend this business, what a disgrace for a business. Zero stars read more

Allure Nail Spa - Unfinished due to the gross level of disrespect. Lacks professionalism. - Nail Salons Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

This salon's quality is hit or miss depending on the tech your assigned. I went in for a gel manicure and it was just medicore. The polishes are so old and I asked for a third coat which was met with an attitude. My tech was on her cell the entire time and paid little attention to me. There is always too many new techs and not enough of the long term techs I am used to. read more

Jenny is the absolute BEST! She is so detailed and takes her time which I appreciate. I've referred several family and friends to Jenny/Allure and they've all been extremely pleased! Anna has also done several pedicures for me and they've all been fantastic. The salon is very clean and has a great relaxing ambiance. Give it a try! read more

I would not recommend this location. I just needed to remove my soft gel and have a plan manicure. The quality of the nail polish was sooooooo poor, that it left my nails with lumps and bumps. Very disappointed, I mean, this was just a basic mani. read more

Jenny did a great job on my nails- i came for a fill in (never had it done before as this was only my second time having acrylics and the first time i didnt get them filled). My only issue was i wanted my nails shorter. She asked me if i wanted them cut down, to which i said "yes and if you could reshape them too to coffin shape". She started re-shaping them (and i assumed she would cut them at some point - again I'm a newbie to all this). I eventually realized she wasnt going to cut them so when i asked, she said "i already shaped. I asked you if u wanted to shape" - i just let it go cuz i could tell she didnt wanna go back and cut and shape again, but i didnt appreciate that because she didnt ask me about shaping, she asked me about cutting and I asked her to ALSO shape. But my nails look great - she even thinned them out cuz they were applied pretty thick, i really appreciated that.. I'm definitely going back to her lol read more

Before I sat down . I asked 3 times and showed them the design i wanted . I asked if they can do my nails like the first picture attached . They said yes they can. I usually get my nails done in Florida but this month I didn't go down there and look what they did and they still charged me 80$ after arguing with them that it's not the same and the lengths are uneven, my nails are fat and big . Just disappointed. All I asked for in the beginning was honesty, if they can do it that way. I would've chose another simple design. Look for what I asked for vs what I got for 80$. read more

This review is primarily for Felisa. Felisa has been my go to nail tech for the last year and I'm nothing more than grateful for her skill and professionalism. Felisa is very friendly and courteous through every visit I've ever booked. Allure nail salon in general is a pleasure with its cleanliness, complimentary beverages and staff but Felisa is the main reason I keep deciding to come back. She has quick response times when trying to book appointments and is also great with follow ups before the scheduled day of services. Not only is she an amazing nail tech but she's also been great in regards to her waxing services as well (eyebrows). She doesn't rush her services and pays attention to detail to make sure any work she produces is of TOP QUALITY (I've attached some pictures of her work below where I've promoted her on my social media). Allure needs to hire more nail techs like Felisa and as long as she is there I will CERTAINLY continue to come back. read more

What an awful experience. I do not recommend this salon to anyone. The managers daughter did my nails. My gel manicure took 2.5 hours. The daughter did something wrong causing the polish to bubble. My nails had to be done over twice. Not one person apologized about this. The manager had to come and file the gel polish off, another employee came and repolished telling the managers daughter she did it wrong. Not one person apologized. I went to the desk and she tried to charge me $40...then told me the nail gel dryer was defective. The third time it was done correctly using the same dryer. She argued with me, didn't apologize or anything. She rolled her eyes sucked her teeth and walked away with an attitude after all I went through. I do not recommend them at all. Terrible customer service. read more

Thought I would try again since it's been 2 years. I received my gel manicure and pedicure on 3/26/2021. 3 nails were chipped by 3/29/21. I went back and had them fixed which they did kindly fix for free. By 4/2/2021 - 3 nails are chipped again. I didn't even get a full week after paying 84.00 total. The decor is nice and My technician was kind. My pedicure has lasted but just save your money and go elsewhere. read more

I have been coming here for well over 3 years and will continue to come Penny is the absolute best :)

I had a pedicure yesterday, with Lele(sp) and it was delightful! I'll be back in 3 weeks! Do yourself a favor and give them a visit!

I wish I could give less than a star!! service was horrible and not using my right mind I went back for another horrible experience!!! a few days afterwards my nails all started to break off not one but almost a whole handful. I went back and was told they wouldn't do anything about the broken nails, in her words "it's my problem" Dont go here unless you want trouble and bad nails. read more

This was my first time going to this place. Went on a Sunday afternoon. No wait time. I came in already knowing what I wanted. I even showed a picture to the nail technician to make sure she knew. It turned out very nice! Wish we paid a little bit more attention to when she was applying the nail polish but overall I am satisfied. $35 for a gel manicure. Four days later: UPDATE. Nails started chipping and the paint is peeling off already. Pretty disappointed considering how much I paid for it... read more

Poor customer service and poor communication. I called at 10 AM upon opening to schedule for a 12 o'clock appointment with Jessica the manager told me that my appointment was valid see you at 12 I arrive at 12 after driving 45 minutes to this location I'll need to be told that she is all booked up for the day and that I cannot be seen completely unacceptable that should've been communicated to me at 10 AM. Not upon my arrival after driving 45 minutes no alternative was offered no solution was suggested I was simply told I cannot be service after making an appointment with a specific nail tech I do not recommend this location and I will not be patron in this business any further. Customer service is nonexistent. If I had an appointment I expect to be serviced same day. read more

Customer Service is a zero. Nail techs are mediocre to say the least. I was told that I was too particular, when all I wanted was a simple, clean overlay. The nail techs are rude and do not understand enough to execute. She would push at my hands, iykyk I would push back slightly to show NOT to do that. So she started this little pinch thing, that no one has EVER done! I was through! And Stopped service, which was a GREAT Inconvenience for me. I was asked where I live and why I was in Bowie. I live in Odenton by the way and grew up and went to school in Bowie sick! They're gross in there and I WOULD never give that place my money again! Go somewhere else, I hate that such a horrible nail salon is in such a great location, not deserved! read more

My first time trying out this nail salon in Bowie after passing them by for years ..typical neighborhood nail salon. I asked for a simple soak off, cost me $15 before tip. My tech was pleasant to chat with but rushed the process. I didn't realize until I went to my regular nail tech the next day, that he left hard gel on my nails. Overall, they would do in a pinch but definitely not a go-to spot for nail care etc. read more

Melinda was very gentle with my nails. She also took her time, asked specifically what I wanted and checked throughout the service if what she was doing was okay. I appreciate her level of care and consideration. She was kind. ​ read more

Dirty, dirty, dirty!!! This place is filthy. Nail stations, towels, chairs, floor; etc are all stained, dusty, and just plain dirty. Unremarkable service and results on both manicure and pedicure. read more

This review is for the new nail tech, Mimi. She was the most rudest nail technician I have ever come across. The only reason I didn't return the favor because I didn't want to make a scene. I wasn't even gonna do the review until I opened my purse and realized that when she gave me my polish back she didn't close it all the way. I open my purse in the nail polish smell overpowers my purse bc the polish wasn't closed completely. Her demeanor is negative which makes her very unattractive. I'm not in the business of providing my money to ppl for a service and then treated like dog crap. The only reason I returned to the salon was to repair my nail. Minh normally does my nails but was out. I write truthful reviews. I write about my experiences. Please don't think bc I wrote a positive review one time, one can go down on the customer service. It's unacceptable and unprofessional! read more

I would literally give 0 stars if i could.. save your money and your time.. do not go here. I came in wanting a simple coffin fullset w gel.. and no one here could help me. I wish i took a picture of the first set. very uneven.. all my nails were a different length and shape. My gel polish had bubbles & was lifting before i even left. so i asked them to fix it, someone filed off all my polish and re shaped the nails.. since i was in a crunch for time due to another appointment i told them i would leave n come back.. I returned not even 30 mins later, and JOHN was suppose to do my new set. he filed and put new tips on. tips i am unfamiliar with, they were pre-shaped for stiletto nails. he cut the tips down and then stormed off and said someone else was going to do my nails.. by this time 3 people have already tried to fix my nails and they were tossing me to a 4th... all for a fullset w gel... very sad & disappointing this was my first and last time coming here... this is what i walked out with... extremely over filed nails and cuts.. read more

I've always had a great experience at Allure. The business is clean and very inviting. My nail tech does an awesome job. I recommend this nail spa wholeheartedly read more

This visit started out bad. When I arrived I asked for my friend and I to sit together pretty common at nail salon's. They immediately said no without explanation trying to cut the conversation off and directed me towards a chair. I stopped and asked why and was told because they work on next available basis. Okay cool. So I asked Can I wait for two to come available? They said no again with an attitude. I explained we live a ways apart and came to get our nails done somewhere in the middle. They again said no while two nail techs were doing each other's nails. Very nice. So we decided we would just get them done because we were there and it was getting around 5 pm and would start getting very busy at other salons. So they then clearly out of spite sat her on the other side of the building and I couldn't even see her. My nail tech seemed to rush and then when she finished it looked just okay. I went up to pay and it was $50 and cash tips only. Would have been good to know since when I walked in there way a lady checking out blocking the sign saying cash tips only. I luckily had some cash to tip them on. I get home Friday, start folding a shirt out of the laundry and my middle finger on my right hand just cracks. Nothing strenuous was being done. Saturday I didn't feel well and stayed in bed all day more nails chipped. Unbelievable. There are also several cracked nails barely hanging on. At this time I can't even find one that isn't cracked. My right middle finger cracked while typing at work this morning. I can't believe it. I won't be going back even to get them redone because the service was so poor the first I doubt the the redo will be better. Nor will they give me my money back I'm sure at a place like this. read more

Tee did a great job on my nails. Quick and thorough. The atmosphere was friendly. I will be back.

I've been to this nail spa a total of 6 times and had all different mail techs. Two out of six visits were just ok. but this las visit was just horrible. When what you asked for vs what you got goes sooooo left I presented a picture of a mani pedi combo and both men did not understand this simple assignment. I did not ask for the earth, moon, or stars. One color on the the pedi and manicure with same color French tips! Never going back again!!!! I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt! They always seem to up charge too show you a price then it's $10 more. I didn't want to end up on IG, Facebook, or YouTube and go ham on this shop, so I'll just rip them a new one in this review!!!!!! Worst nail salon ever!!!!!!! read more

I got a gift card for Mother's Day. I was excited for a pedicure. I came. On a Wednesday. I checked in at 6:30pm. There were a few people front of me. I waited and waited. I noticed people who checked in after me got to go before me. I asked the front desk around 7:15 asking how long the wait will be. They told me "10 minutes". By 7:47pm I gave up. All I got was "sorry". I left the store without a pedicure because people after me got called (and I checked. Only 2 had appointments while the rest didn't). I'm just sad that there's a gift card I need to use. And I definitely don't want to come back to this very slow business. read more

Honestly I am highly annoyed. I have came to this nail salon many of times and typical go to the owners brother in law. However, Anna has done my nails a few times and I decided to book with her an appointment because I'm in my brother in laws wedding tomorrow. I request the appt Thursday she claimed she was unavailable implying she wouldn't be at work so she put me on the open book for 5pm. I arrive no one can take me, Anna is in fact there and AVAILABLE and 4 people are waiting. The fact that no one offered to rectify the situation and I have to talk to a customer about it snd then leave with no resolution is really upsetting. You want customers to frequent your location but yet you don't want to provide adequate service. That's bogus! read more

Yelpers, if you want your nails done right, you need to go here. This place is clean, friendly, and efficient. Their services are priced pretty much the same as anywhere else in the area, so there's nothing to compare in that aspect. It's right around the corner from my house so I couldn't have been luckier to have such a nice place. I don't know what all the negative reviews are about because I definitely am glad I took a chance and came here. I was sold on amount of SNS colors they had based on another reviewer. I walked in Saturday morning right when they opened, with no appointment, and was greeted by Sonny. He asked what I wanted (SNS) and immediately sat me in a chair with Kaylee. Kaylee was soft spoken but took her time on my nails and did a FABULOUS job. I can't be happier. Thanks Allure, I will be back!! read more

This review is ONLY for Felisa, the only Black nail tech in the salon. I'm not surprised that people have had bad experiences here. Heck, I've had my own bad experiences here. I discovered Felisa on Instagram and sent her a DM asking where she worked. Her work is super impressive and she's so young. 1. Her talent is amazing for her to be so young, so you know she's only going to get better and 2. She's hip to nail trends and makes sure your nails are always together. I have held out on writing this review because I was being selfish, but she has blown up from Instagram. She is pretty much appointment only and gets booked pretty quickly, so you'll be lucky if she can accept you as a walk-in. I make 2-3 appointments for the next 1.5 month ahead of time! Felisa is a beast at making sure your nail shape is on point, colors are evenly applied, ombres are seamless, designs are popping, and she is pretty quick too! Make an appointment with Felisa. Or don't, because then I don't have to worry about her booking up even more quickly! read more

Belinda did a horrible job on my nails. I asked for square she couldn't do that correctly so I opted for coffin. Horrible mistake coffin shape is even worse and also my gel polish chipped that same night. She even had the nerve to laugh and tell me she doesn't know what shape that is after she did it! She also tells me I need to get a full set for square to come out nice, lmao never in all of my years has a tech had trouble shaping my nails square because it wasn't a new set. The salon has a nice decor and ambience but the service was horrible. It's only been 4 days, my nails have no shape and polish chipped. read more
