I just had my nails done by Van. Best mani pedi around. I couldn't be happier. Van was gentle and allowed me to tell her exactly what I wanted, even though I'm super particular and picky. She made me feel comfortable and the managers were also super accommodating. read more

Used to be better. Not sure what's changed the last 4-6 months but will go elsewhere from Now on. My last time there I got a manicure and a pedicure. They didn't soak my hands at all for the manicure, and the technically was very quick with the massage and rough with the cuticle trimming. The pedicure was even shorter than the manicure which typically isn't the case! Barely any massage and lots of polish left on my skin afterwards. From the time I sat on the chair til the time they were done painting my nails was 20 mins. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

My review is based on my first impression and how I was handled as a new customer. I walked into this place and was immediately turned off as it's super small and tight. You have to walk around customers sitting at a semi round table getting their nails done and basically squeeze pass to make it to the front desk to check in. After my gymnastic performance to get inside and over and around to the desk the very uninterested person there gave me a look and walked away. I looked down at the list on the counter and added my name for a mani and pedi. I went to find a seat and there was only 1 and it was a corner seat, the only thing missing was a DUNCE hat (I was a dunce for going here). I reapproached the desk once the unfriendly guy returned and was told 40 mins. Mind you it's Tuesday at about 11am . Yeah so I immediately scratched off my name from the list and exited stage LEFT to head to the place I'm familiar with close by that's amazing. read more

There's a reason I drive 30 min to go to this nail salon! I get SNS and this is the only place I'll go in town. They are consistently perfect no matter which tech you get. Hrit was the one who did the nails in the photo I posted. She is so so so good. Everyone is extremely kind and incredibly skilled. I highly recommend making an appt because, since they're so good, they're always busy. read more

Have been to this salon bi-weekly if not weekly along with bringing a lot of business. Up to this latest time on Friday everything had been fine. During this last visit, the salon tech cut my cuticle (bleeding) and said nothing. No apologies nothing. Before completely drying i noticed the gel nails were raised a bit but she said it was normal. That evening, the gel was peeling. I called and spoke to the gentleman that works in the front and asked me to come in the next day. When i came he acted like there was nothing wrong, gave me a hard time about an appointment and again... NO apologies. This was horrible service, horrible customer service! Not worth the money. read more

I love Van and Liz! Van is my go to for pedicure and Liz did a very nice job on manicure. Service is always wonderful.

I've been going to aloha for awhile and always had an amazing experience especially with Pam. This past Sunday I used a new person and she ruined my nails. I went back to talk to the manager. He told me I would have to pay for a new service to have my bails fixed. This is very disappointing! Not going back due to customer service! My nails were sanded down so much she made them paper thin which I told her they were to think. She disagrees with me and then my nails hurt. After 2 days my nail tore off. So upset!!!! read more

I've been a loyal customer at Aloha Nails for the past five years. Over that time, I've been in probably 100+ times to have my "solar nails" (aka pink & white, aka acrylics, etc. nails) put on, taken off, or maintained. Today, I'm finally dropping my review from 5 stars to 2 stars. The sole reason? I can't go between visits without these weak nails breaking completely, several times over. When I first started going to Aloha Nails, I was also training for a century ride, as a cyclist. I was impressed so much the first time I was pumping up a tire and the inflating hose blew off, slamming me in my hand. My nails didn't suffer so much as a crack! But for the last four months, I'm finding that 2-3 weeks in between visits isn't enough for me to keep these false nails in even DECENT shape. Since December, I had about four major nail breaks. When I go in to get my nails redone/repaired, fixing the breaks is often painful, with them wedging the gel/material off my nailbed using another sharp-edged artificial nail. Now, I've had artificial nails for months on end, and what I can tell you is that the nailbed under the artificial nail is EXCEPTIONALLY sensitive! So, basically, every visit has featured some amount of pain since December. This last visit, I found that my pinky nail just flew off while I was closing a car door. Not even hard! I visited today and the woman re-did my nails, cutting off the length. I saw a crack on my right thumbnail and figured she'd repair it before letting me leave. She finished her work, and I left. And now here I am 3 hours later with a chipped thumbnail because she didn't bother to repair the nail! My nutrition and body hasn't changed wildly since December, but nails from here are cracking and falling apart right and left. I don't know what they've done differently, but I'm seriously considering a new nail salon for my next visit. Very disappointed. EDIT/UPDATE: I received a very kind note from one of the owners of Aloha nails asking me to return so they could take a look at my nails and figure out what was making them break so easily. I appreciate the note, and have added another star because they DO care about their customers being happy, but I've chosen to return to my natural nails after this series of breaks. read more

I have been going to this salon for a while and I really enjoy the young lady Sydney that does my nails and her sister Linda, but every time I have gone there, it has always been something wrong. The manager is extremely nasty. The 1st time I had to wait beyond my scheduled time because they overbooked her, the 2nd time they overbooked her and someone else had to do my manicure, and today I went and the manager tells me they had to send Sydney home because she wasn't feeling well but yet no one thought enough of me to call me, and when I asked him why he didn't call he said because we were busy, but uet he was standing there checking in. It is poor customer service and I will never spend my hard earned money where it's not valued. I will never go back again. Kim read more

Awful! Girl kept cutting into my nail bed and cuticle and just laughed and said sorry. But did it repeatedly. The top of my toe is scratched from the pumice stone. Rushed me to get in the pedicure chair before I could pick out my nail color and then yelled at me for not having a color picked out. So many other places to go, stay away from this place! read more

Went there for a pedicure and manicure on a Sunday at 4 pm by Monday at 7 am, I had 3 nails chipped. If I can paint my nails at home and it lasts 3-4 days before chipping, I expect the nail salon to at least deliver the same results. read more

After calling to make an appointment, I was glad I did. I arrived around 1:00 on a rainy Saturday afternoon and the place was packed. After a recent bad experience with a gel manicure, at another salon, I decided to try old school acrylic nails. I was seated, asked if I would like a drink, and received an amazing manicure with acrylics! Although the place was packed the manager/owner managed the appointments and walk-ins very well. The manicurist did a great job, shaped my nails very well, and asked me if everything was okay before proceeding. The service was great and I found the prices to be very reasonable for what they offer. I definitely look forward to my next visit! read more

I regret posting this but think that at some point, businesses should be held accountable. I have been a LOYAL customer for years at this Blakeney location and extremely understanding of all of the challenges that Covid has made with staffing. However, the owner can at least be able to thank people for their business, acknowledge and apologize when they made a mistake and lastly, not throw change owed to the customer on the counter. As usual, the person doing my nails did a fabulous job. However, just as them, I work way too hard for my money and would rather spend it where the customer service and appreciation for my loyalty is better than this. Unfortunately, this was my last visit to Aloha. read more

I'm sorry to say that this establishment treated me rudely. They may have enhanced the inside but the owner was rude and had no regards for my disability. All he could say was "You haven't been here in 4 years." Don't go! Instead, go to Aloha Waverly!! They are kind and caring about my medical condition. Thank you read more

First time there and probable my last. I paid extra for the volcano spa treatment and was told all about it up front. Well, I did not received all the extra time and massage treatment as explained to me. I also had regular polish applied and really was a sloppy job compared to what I have gotten in the past at other places. ( my nails can't handle jel or SNS) When I asked if this is acceptable they tried to tell me this is what happens with regular polish, that next time I should do gel or SNS, it would look so much better......really. They did offer put another coat of my polish on however I declined, this would not fix the issue at all. read more

I have been coming to Aloha Nails in blakeney for years. Today was the first time I had ever broken a nail. I get sns dip and it's on my natural short nails. I walked in with my kit and asked if they could repair the nail. The owner asked me did I have an appointment...I was very surprised. I asked who Makes an appointment or Plans a broken nail. He told me to come back in an hour. I begrudgingly came back because the corner of My nail was gone and honestly it was catching everything I touched. I sat down and within 1.5 minutes I was done. I just needed it filed to match. When I got up the owner was even more rude...he looked at me and said I mean you could give him a few dollars. Granted I was gonna do that anyway but frankly I'm Just sick of his attitude. If there's someone who cares about this guy is representing this business maybe have a conversation with this guy. We...his customers do have a choice. I come back because I like the people who do the nails. I do not come back for him and honestly I'm getting close to finding a new spot just because of this dude. read more

I normally hate getting my nails done but I was extremely impressed! I especially loved my nail tech Jenny. She payed very good attention to every detail and clearly cared about my nails unlike other nail techs I have seen at other salons. She was also very polite and patient. If I return I will most definitely be requesting her! My nails turned out great! read more

Went on a friday evening to get a regular mani pedi,was quite disappointed with my experience mostly because of the nail polish options and quality. When i was trying to pick a color, most of the nail polish bottles won't open because they were dried up and were sitting on the racks for I don't know how many years. Most of the polishes that did open were so thick and i saw a couple of the manicurists adding acetone to make it usable. The color in chose was almost done and ofcourse they didn't have another bottle so over all my mani pedi turned out sub par. Because the polish was so thick, even after an hour of drying, it didn't dry and Iended up messing a couple of my nails. Never going back read more

The best way to describe my experience with this location is "meh". My experience with other locations of this local company was much better. My technician was good and clearly well regarded by long standing clients. But I was never asked what type of pedicure I wanted and was given the basic when I would have upgraded for higher. Usually they ask and expected they would, but never did. The client next to me asked for upgraded service and was told her technician could not do upgraded services. To me, it was clear they decided to err or productivity and clients served vs servicing clients how they wanted to be served. Also foot bath was cold. I asked to make hotter and they did something, but really didn't make hotter. Not a great experience to have a cold foot bath. Probably won't go back to this location again based on my experience. But may not give up on the company overall. TBD. read more

Have been here approx. 6 times now. First visit was great! Always go for a Pedi & SNS. The pedi chairs are way too close together. Owner stresses me out, just watching him patrol the techs. Constantly pacing the floor to see how long the techs will be, before they can put another body in the chair. Totally gives the feel of a "sweat shop" environment. There's nothing "spa-like" about the place. I go to relax and unwind and leave there feeling like I need a drink!! Most importantly, the gal that does my Pedi's "Van" is awesome! Super sweet lady, great leg/foot massage and does great work! However, the SNS Tech "Lan", has blown it for me. First time, she was great! She does nice work but, this last visit...is now my last! Her attitude is unreal! They give you this monstrous "cake tower" looking stand that has all the SNS colors. She gives you a whopping few mins to make a selection! My last visit, she went round and round with me and kept asking "what color you want today? More pink? White?). I asked her repeatedly to please bring the color samples. She tells me "they don't look like the real colors. They are faded!" She then brings me some random pink powder, opens the lid and asks if I like it??! I tell her "I can't tell by looking at powders. PLEASE bring me the samples!" I now have the warming mits on each hand. She begrudgedly brings me the sample tree. My reading glasses are off the the side and I give her a look like "how do you expect me to hold the tree, I've got these mits on." I then ask her if she could put my glasses on me so, I can see the colors. She then shoves the sample tree inches from my face, thinking THAT will allow me to see better. I couldn't WAIT to finish my service and get outta there! I should have asked for another tech at that moment but, I knew it would be my last visit. For as much as these services cost, customers want to relax and be pampered. This experience, has been the furthest thing from anything along those lines! My last regret is that I didn't ask the owner to give the entire tip to "Van"!! read more

Honestly this place is very good and well kept, but I only downgrade it because my nail tech did not do a very good job. He did not want to be there, rushed his time with me and when he was filing my nails they were all jagged and crooked. The color was good and the dip was nice and smooth not lumpy like some other nail salons do. He kept looking around as if he was embarrassed to be doing MY nails because I am quite young but I wouldn't be doing any less of a job just because of someone's age. Anyway he started to get a little rough towards the end. At the end when it was time for the sugar scrub, he was scrubbing so hard it was hurting my hands but I didn't say anything because I didn't want him to do anything else wrong on purpose. Everyone around me seemed to be having a good time with their techs because they were talking and getting to know each other, while it was awkward with my tech. The only conversation we had together was when he was asking what color I wanted, and when he told me to wash my hands. I also didn't think the prices were reasonable, because my mother and I ended up spending about a hundred dollars on SNS dip and of course an additional fee for drinks. Anyway I hope this was helpful to anyone out there and I'm not looking to downgrade this place at all but I think their staff could use a bit of work... that's all read more

Stopped going here over a year ago after one of the managers Tony gave me a look like the service I requested was a burden and turned me away. It was a Monday afternoon with nobody at the nail bar and only clients getting pedicures and said they were "completely booked" as he pretended to quickly flip paged on his appointment book. All I'd looked forward to that day was getting a gel manicure. I looked around and saw 2-3 techs just leaning over on their phones at the nail bar doing absolutely nothing. I used to drive 30 minutes from work just to get my nails done here because most techs are good and don't make you feel like they're rushing. That day I felt very much like they didn't want to provide service. I now go to the Nail Salon across the street next to Harris Teeter where they always make me feel welcome, it's very spacious and have never turned me away. read more

The owner is rude. I feel terrible for the workers. He doesn't thank anyone for business and didn't ask me if I wanted to leave a tip. I did tip, more than 20% and then he didn't give it to the worker. I watched him walk away like I didn't tip. So I took my receipt to the worker and gave it to her to show I did tip. He also started sanding down someone's gel nails next to me while I was waiting for my toes to dry in the pedicure seat. Literally just got done being painted. I didn't want white specks stuck in my polish. I was covered in it like snow and I asked him to stop but he wouldn't. I will not return and do not recommend it here. read more
