    This salon is amazing! As soon as I walked in I felt welcomed, and was offered something to drink. The nail technicians are so friendly and talented at what they do. I just moved here from Arizona, and always had issues finding a good nail salon out there. This was the first nail salon in MO that I came to and i'm so happy to say I have found my permanent go-to for all of my services. Jason did an amazing job at this new set and the details on the accent finger are phenomenal! This is definitely my favorite set of acrylics I have ever gotten and i'm looking forward to coming back in a couple of weeks for my fill. I recommend everyone to come here you will NOT be disappointed! Amazing work, thanks again Jason!

    My fill!

    I love it here! My nails are great and the staff are so friendly. 10/10 recommend! Definitely will be coming back here. I love the chrome.

    I have gone to pretty much every nail salon in St. Louis it seems like. The luxurious ones, the hole in the wall ones and everything in between- I will literally never go anywhere else in St Louis now that I go to August 1st. I have had acrylics on for nearly 15 years and hands down, this is the best salon to get your nails done no matter what you're looking for. Jason, the owner, does my nails- and he is friendly, professional and genuinely amazing at what he does. Every time I come in to get my nails done he exceeds my expectations and then some. I have never EVER had an issue with cracks, breakage etc. I am being 100% genuine when I say this is the only spot I will go. Thank you Jason and family for all of the times you've made my nails amazing!!

    Jason did a great job on my nails. It looks beautiful. What a great salon! Nicely decorated and clean. They are attentive when working on your nails and they wore mask. I feel very safe. Definitely recommend this nail salon.

    Sloppy

    This is the second time I've gone to this shop. The first time was fantastic!! Ask for Jason. My second visit, not that great. The tech was on her phone watching Make up videos didn't seem to care at all that there was a customer sitting right in front of her. The experience was rushed and poorly executed

    YIkes- super sloppy pedicure :(

    I am giving this place 1 star for the mani/pedi I just received as the people are very friendly and the atmosphere is inviting. My mani/pedi was very rushed and the paint job was that of a 5 year old unfortunately. I could have done a better job myself. I don't think she filed my nails either or cut them at all. The woman who serviced me was very nice but I"m super disappointed to spend 40$ on a really sloppy job. I'm not sure where all these good reviews are coming from or if I just happened to go to late in the day.

    I love my nails so much. Beautiful nail art.

    Absolutely LOVE this place. I get a fabulous care every time I come here. I have the mani and pedi. As always, my nails look awesome and pretty. The lady who helped me shaped my nails beautifully. That makes my nails look longer, and more define. It is absolutely amazing. They have a variety of nail color selection. I mean huge collection. What I love is the fact that they do have color chart so you can easily decide what color you like the best. The interior is beautiful and luxurious. Decor is inviting and pretty. You can tell they really take care of their place. Staffs are super nice, friendly and provide exceptional GREAT service. They appreciate long term relationship with customers and that is a plus.

    The inside of August 1st, at the front door facing in. Nice decor, not too cheap. Pedicure chairs are behind the purple wall dividers.

    My mother and I came here on a Sunday for pedicures. Glad we called ahead - they had appointments for the next 2 hours after I called. Overall, good pedicures, but nothing above and beyond other similar nail salons I've been to. Be sure to ask for a menu for pedicure options before you sit down, to make sure you're on the same page about services and cost. I don't think everything on the menu for our service (an August 1st Pedicure aka Signature Pedicure) was actually performed (e.g., hot oil, sea salt scrub, cooling mask), but still decent. $45/person for that service. Their hours seem a bit confusing, so again, call ahead. Their door says 9:30am - 7pm on Mondays through Saturdays, but nothing listed for Sunday hours. Again, we got our pedicures on a Sunday, so they're open, but I'm not sure what the range of hours are. Facebook, Yelp, and Google hours listed aren't consistent. One con: the ladies doing the pedicures asked what I would consider personal questions when making small talk. Are you married? How long? Do you have any kids? WHY NOT? Where are you from? No, really, where are you from? (I'm not white or black, so they assumed I wasn't American.) ONE MAJOR PRO: The music. Man, I was jamming. 80's, baby. They said it was a Pandora station (input: "Unbreak My Heart" by Toni Braxton). I'd come back, if only for the music.

    Everyone was super nice and my dip nails look great. Very pretty salon too. But.... My big toes were not painted well. I could have done a better job :-/ My cuticles were not cut and I did not get a massage after my dip manicure. :-( I didn't realize my toes were not painted well until after I left. Someone should have looked at them before I left to be sure they were dry and painted well.

    I have a shellac manicure every two weeks, and after having my haircut at the salon next door I gave this place a shot. When I walked in the salon seemed nice and they had a variety of color choices available in the gel polish. The actual manicure is what I was so unimpressed with. The worst I've ever had. My nails looked better before having them done today. The shaping was off. I wish she would have just left them alone. The paint is the worst. They already look a week grown out from how far away she painted from the cuticles. After going to my car and looking in the light she missed half the nail on one in particular and I reluctantly went back inside to see if she could touch up. Possibly I had an inexperienced tech, but I would never recommend this place.

    This is a little nail salon on Long Road in the Chesterfield Valley in a small strip mall. In case you were wondering, the name is significant in that this was the day they opened in 2011. The owner(didn't catch his name) was very friendly and accommodating, greeting us as soon as we walked in. First impression: adorable purple and silver decor with a definite divide between manicures and pedicures stations of hanging beads and Bindhi looking silver stencil work on the walls. Cute! The shellac manicure I got looks very nice and I had a good selection and brands of shellac to choose from. The paraffin dip and neck rub were nice touches. Although they seemed a little under-staffed for a Saturday they got me in and out in under an hour. If I am out this way again I will definitely stop back in. This salon is a good distance from my home though.

    I am a regular here for a while now!…read more I haven't had to wait long and usually get a nail tech right away. Everyone is attentive with great attention to detail and the best customer service around. I brought my aunt here once for a pedi and she felt she was given the royal treatment. They do an excellent job with nails and pedicures and I recommend them to everyone I meet who want want their nails done!!

    I came to Soho Nails the day after getting my nails done at another salon and being super…read moredisappointed. The previous tech hadn't prepped my nails properly--there were bumps and uneven spots all over the dip manicure, and it just looked messy. I came in stressed (especially with my birthday coming up), but the tech at Soho immediately noticed what went wrong and walked me through how she'd fix it. She was so knowledgeable and kind, and really took her time to make sure everything was flawless. I got chrome, and she explained how their method helps it last longer--she even took extra steps with the top coat to make sure it would hold up. My nails turned out gorgeous, smooth, and birthday-ready. I was so impressed with the quality and care. Highly recommend Soho Nails! Update: Unfortunately, my second visit was the complete opposite. The dip was applied so thick I could barely function with my nails, and leftover powder was caked underneath. I was cut several times with the sanding tool, the nails weren't smooth, and there were visible ridges. The service dragged on for over an hour and a half, and the end result looked worse than when I walked in. I decided to give them another chance and specifically booked with the tech who had done such a great job the first time. When I arrived, she was already working on someone else and it turned out I'd been double booked. She didn't acknowledge me or apologize, which was frustrating. Another tech stepped in and did her best--she did a good job on the dip itself--but she was rushed and handed me off to someone else for the top coat, which ended up streaky and uneven. I even had to go back inside to get one nail fixed, but several others still had flaws. After two such drastically different experiences, I won't be back. I usually don't even make appointments, and the one time I did, it felt like my business wasn't valued at all. The vibe is mostly relaxing. They have calming music playing. Depending on who is doing your nails varies the cleanliness. Some stations are clean while others have dirt caked on.
