    The workers here are polite and efficient! I got my nails done last minute and it was not only quick but the result was better than the reference photo! The atmosphere is so calming and I cannot wait to come back!

    Had an appointment with Jenny to get my nails done for my wedding a day before we leave town. Showed up for my appointment and was told she wasn't there and that I was told she wasn't there when I called. I never called, I had made the appointment weeks in advance on Instagram. They asked to see the photo of what I was wanting and said they didn't even have the colors. Its pink and silver, they should at least have that. Then the girl started telling others that I specifically wanted Jenny and making jokes in front of me. I am not happy with how I was treated and that my time was wasted. I now have to find a replacement nail tech before I leave in the morning. Other times I have went I have left happy besides a one other occurrence. The nail tech painted my nails with the top coat and missed my thumbs. When I pointed it out she told me I should have been paying attention to what she was doing. I was with my friend talking during our appointment and I guess she didn't like that although she kept jumping into our conversation. That same nail tech has not done my nails since then but always gave me and my friend mean looks.

    I'm so incredibly disappointed in the customer service at Athens nails. I showed the lady a picture of what I wanted (photos attached) I asked of daisys all over my nails. They told me it would be $30 since the design was "trendy" on TOP of the $20 for the gel, I didn't even get the full manicure. No cuticle cutting or anything, just a gel change. They were doing my nails while I was in the pedicure chair, which is awkward enough. I first asked for oval/round nails and she proceeded to make them square, I spoke up and asked her politely to make them more round. She just rounded the edges, so they're basically square with rounded edges. After the whole manicure was done I got a good look at them and was so upset. I realize that these ladies get so much shit from some woman, and I'm not about to be a Karen and yell at them. I did ask the girl when I was checking out if she could please not charge me the full $50 since it wasn't what I asked for. She asked to see a photo of what I'd asked for and said she could give me $10 off. She was about to when the woman who did my nails said I said they were fine. I didn't. I just saw the pinky, which looked ok but still wasn't what I'd asked for. The daisys were huge and the yellow was bleeding into the whites and the petals were wonky and so big on my small nails. Should I have said they weren't what I asked for in the chair? Yes. But honest to god I didn't pay attention to what all she was doing and couldn't see them completely. But I am incredibly shy, and introverted, and have awful social anxiety. The fact that I even spoke up at the end isn't like me, but I couldn't walk away with such an expensive manicure that was so bad. The lady then proceeded to charge me the full amount and just was like "sorry" I went to a different nail salon where they were appalled at the job and fixed it for me, for free. THAT is excellent customer service. Athens nails I obviously won't be returning, and I sincerely hope you work on your attitudes and customer service.

    Nail infection.

    I went to this nail salon while visiting my mother in Athens. I had driven there from Atlanta since nail services are much less expensive in Athens, and I chose this place because they'd been around so long and had good reviews on Google, so I assumed it would be a good place to get Gel-X nails done for a music festival. I was having a good experience at first. When Helen was curing my nails with the UV light, I could tell that something was wrong because I quite literally felt my nails burning a lot more than usual for Gel-X. I was wincing in pain. She put my entire hand into the lamp each time she needed to cure an individual nail, rather than painting all 10 and using a small finger-sized individual light on each single finger and then putting the whole hand in, which is the proper way to do them. So basically all of my nails were cured 1-10 more times than they should've been. I'm assuming why they all popped off the next day. Nails should never BURN the way they did during a new set, and they especially should not fall off the next day and then proceed to get INFECTED. All ten of my nails proceeded to pop off within 12 hours, and I didn't have time to go back. I requested a refund and was told I could get a new set for free, which would've obviously been a waste of time, or I would have to wait ~2 weeks for the manager to come back in town. I waited, and during that time, the leftover gel-x glue that was still stuck to my nails had broken at least 6 of my nails in half within 8 days. 5 days after that, I had a nail infection. My left middle finger was incredibly swollen and had green pus under the skin around my nail. This hurt to touch for about two days. Then, I tried to make it (again driving all the way from Atlanta to deal with this) to the salon to show them and get a refund, after work before they closed as it was the only day I was able to make it, and I was not able to make it in time. I had to leave for Brazil in the next few days, so I wouldn't be able to go in person. By the way, at this point, I absolutely would not have ever accepted a service from them ever again, free or not, which was a ridiculous offer and not at all equivalent to a refund. I texted the manager whose phone number I was given, and shared this information. I explained thoroughly what had happened, and I sent photos and videos of my broken and infected nails. I was told I would only be given a 50% refund, according to "their policy," so I explained politely that I was scared to let the salon work with my nails again so the free service would not be sufficient. I also explained that due to my suffering, I actually deserved more than a 100% refund, but that I would accept just my money back, and the manager quite literally ghosted me. No response since then. I cannot believe how careless this salon is with their customers, and I feel extremely disrespected as a person and taken advantage of. I am now working with a personal injury lawyer to fight this. This review is another attempt to communicate with the owner a second time before pressing charges as I am willing to accept a full refund, but also a warning to anyone considering going to this salon. For the sake of your finances and your time and health, please don't.

    Summer did an amazing job on my nails and eyebrows! She was very thorough and precise. Definitely will be coming back! This was my first time here but I've never been happier leaving a nail salon

    She did exactly what I wanted! Fast service, kind people. I will be going here for a while!

    My nails look pretty good. Like the picture I showed but they didn't clean around my nails. They let me leave with powder all over my fingers. They charge a normal amount for SNS but told me I would be charged extra because of my nail length but they are my natural nails ?? Total it came out to $75....

    I was looking for a new nail home after recently moving from California. The service I received could not have been better. I showed a picture of what design I wanted and that's exactly what I got!!! I will be back soon

    They rushed through trying to do our nails and ended up causing me to bleed, cutting the nails uneven, and leaving the polish clumped on my friends. It was clear they did not care about the end result just wanted to be done. Never getting them done here again

    I've been here many times and always come out with my nails exactly how I want them. The techs are sweet and ask questions to make sure you get what you're looking for. I've seen a variety of techs and saw Mike today, they're all great. 10/26 Came back again for my SNS set with tips this time. They turned out great! I chipped one shopping on Saturday and when I came in they fixed that nail at no cost!

    Love the ambiance! The staffs are nice! Love my nails. They always have the 10% student discount. And reward cards

Olga is very educated in what she does and has years of experience. She's fast and reliable. The one time I've gone somewhere else to get waxed based on location, I regretted it LOL.

I'm sure Olga is awesome, but despite booking my eyebrow threading appointment with her specifically, I never met her and a random lady did my brows--I have scars above my right eyebrow, like, deep scars from my appointment that resulted in deep itchy rash. It also smelled odd during the threading like maybe rose witch hazel but I'm not sensitive to that normally. A simple alcohol or aloe solution would have been preferred. Maybe it just wasn't sanitary but anyway I left and almost immediately broke out in a super itchy skin inflammation and started my new job like that! This was several months ago (April 2025) and I still have the deep scars on my face from this amateur facility with newbies. I just remember wanting to scratch it so badly. I used to go to a threading and sugaring place in Alpharetta before I relocated, and never had a problem nor sensitivity there. Brazilian and eyebrows, never an issue. Bare Wax is not a place I will be returning to. What sucks is I didn't even need the service, just wanted to try the new place and be groomed and polished. Honestly there was no difference, she didn't even know how to trim my eyebrows so they looked basically the same as when I arrived.
