Lyric S.

I was in Chapel Hill for work and needed a mani/pedi. Sophia was absolutely wonderful and kind! She took time on all of her work, encouraged me to relax, and overall exceeded my expectations. She was also very upfront about the pricing which was not only appreciated but I found to be fair compared to Atlanta pricing. I really enjoyed Bella Nail Bar and will be back the next time I'm in Chapel Hill!

There's nail polish all over the sides of my fingers on both hands that they wouldn't fix and the manicure itself is clumpy and uneven.
Cora S.

The first time I tried coming here I made an appointment and when I showed up they were closed. Decided to give it another try and I really wish I hadn't. Spent $45 for a manicure that came out terrible and was painful. Every person in their was rude. I have never gone out of my way to leave a bad review but this was worth the time to warn others. The only reason they received two stars is because I didn't have to wait long.

So painful....
Lucy O.

I went here because as a student I thought that it is convenient and worth the cost (gel: $35). The people are nice, and they have a wide selection of colors; however, the three times I have been there, they also seem to rush and quickly finish the job without paying attention to detail, especially when it comes to filing my nails. The filing is so painful because they not only end up filing my nails, but they also file away my skin. I let them know about this the third time I went but it still happened. My nails may look pretty, but I didn't pay for them to make the fingers themselves swollen and dry. I don't think I'll be coming back any time soon with this quality of service.

Day 2 of nails completed

Just went there yesterday, got dip powder; will say service was great, nails originally looked good. With that said less than 3hrs later one of them had chipped, fast forward today 3 of them are already chipped all over the place and it makes no sense, these are supposed to last. I normally get my nails done only once a month, it was my first time there and most definitely the last.

I have very short nails and it's hard to look pretty but they don't d a good job and made it look very polished and I think I chose a good light color to help it not to look so weirdly short haha I'll make a note to always go back there whenever I'm in town.

Acrylics
Zo H.

Loved it. Amazing acrylics! Excellent length, shape, and color. They've lasted over 3 weeks.

SNS nails with tips
Emily S.

I scheduled an appointment for 4:30, but due to an influx of people was not started on until 4:50. But, due to this, my nail tech took extreme care of my nails! I got SNS with tips, and they look great! She shaped them perfectly how I wanted and made sure they were perfect. There is a 10% off student discount as well! They prefer cash for tips:)

Renee C.

I've been coming to this nail salon for more than 6 years and every experience has been exceptional. They take their time, my gel nails lasts greater than 2 weeks and I always get exceptional service. Even if I walk in 30 mins to closing, they will stay over to make sure my service is above expectation! I will not go anywhere else! See Sophia or Tracy and I promise you will not be disappointed!

Natalie P.

Pretty much the worst set of SNS that I have ever received. No manicure like I asked beforehand and the sns chipped off cracked and fell off within a week. I don't live near by or else I would demand them to redo it. At this point I would at least like half or all of my money back. What a waste of $50

Bad SNS nails for 70 dollars. Wouldn't recommend. (the dip nude color isn't sparkly it's dust trapped underneath the polish)

Bella is amazing. I love Sophie so much! It's a very fun environment and she always knows how to make my nails look great!

We just moved to the area so I started looking for a shop that did quality pedicures. For me,…read morequality is not rushed, minimum 45 minutes and overall relaxing. My shop before is kind of far away, so figured I give a new spot a try. Based on the reviews this sounded like a great place to go. Numerous reviews stating comfy pedicures that weren't rushed and were relaxing. This was KEY for me. Now, my other shop is a force to be reckoned with so this sounded like the same vibe. Unfortunately, it fell very short for me. The first thing I rarely do is book a pedicure without the amount of time stated on their menu. Which this place did not have, but did state how long the massage would be during the service you picked. We did Vin's pedicure which included an 8 minute massage. Do I feel like I was massaged for 8 minutes? Not really. Not only that, the service was done in 30 minutes. The color I picked was not cleaned up around the edges and my pinky toe had a piece of nail that wasn't even polished. For me, the quality is just not there. Attention to detail was lacking and it's honestly not something I want anyone to fix per se, because it should have already been done in the first place. Last but certainly not least, my feet were so dry when I left. No cuticle oil or anything. For what we paid, I wasn't impressed and would rather spend more for a quality pedi vs a turn and burn pedi. Now the pros: nice massage chairs, complimentary drink and they offer wine as well. The 2nd drink you would have to pay for.

I'm very picky and read reviews on many many places and I'm SO glad I took a chance here! This place blew my home nail salon out of the water and I would gladly and quickly return any chance I get. I got the peppermint pedicure and it was so relaxing and worth the money. My manicure looks incredible I am overjoyed with how it turned out! The attention to detail here is outstanding. Coming here left me feeling so relaxed and so so happy with my fingernails and toes . Thank you so much Vin Nails & Spa you guys are the BEST!!!!!!

Be careful that they don't overcharge you if you go in and you tell them you don't want jail it…read moredoesn't matter they will give you jail and then they will charge you for it a fill-in for acrylic which normally cost about $28-$30 They wanted to charge 57 and then she acted like she didn't speak English when I said I wasn't happy

I've had a few episodes of miscommunication that I've tried to write off. However, it's happened…read moreenough where I'm going elsewhere to get my nails done from now on. A couple months ago, I made an appointment through their website during business hours. When I came at the appointed time, the door was locked. I called and someone picked up and told me she was sick and to make an appointment for a different day, even though my initial appointment had been placed and I had gotten a confirmation text. I didn't even get a discount for coming on a different day after driving to their shop initially, and finding them closed during business hours and with a scheduled appointment. This week, I received a birthday text to get $10 off my next visit. I had gotten my nails done a week ago and they were already chipped but I figured I would just come get them done again instead of asking for them to be redone, since there was a decent discount. The same person who had done my nails last week, which chipped, did my nails this time. The job was rushed and I had to ask my nail person to clean up the edges before leaving because he wanted to send me out with paint still on my skin around the nails on both hands. This poor service was already concerning. When I got to the cash register I showed them the $10 off text and they told me it was only for certain services so they wouldn't give me the discount, even though none of that was stated in the text. I asked them if they would send out these stipulations with their texts in the future because otherwise it's misleading. They told me no. I still paid them and tipped decently even though I honestly felt like giving them no tip with how bad the service was. This was more a reflection of me trying to bring my own emotions under control and be a better person, than any reflection of their service which was very poor. But I no longer plan to come to them in the future. The problem isn't just the service...it's the refusal to improve communication even after I've spoken with them about it and given them multiple chances to improve. Update: it's been less than 24 hours and my nails are already chipped again. The excuse is that it's regular polish. I've had my nails done with regular polish by other nail salons and it lasts more than a day. Making excuses for poor work and doing nothing to improve, is unacceptable in my opinion.

Sooo, I'm reviewing my experience for my nail tech, KIM. I should start by saying that Kim has been amazing! I wanted to wait to write a review because with nails you want to make sure they don't chip, break, etc. I have been here now 3X's, all my appointments have been with Kim, and my nails have never looked better. She is patient and a perfectionist, where other nail techs are rushing to get you in and out, she takes her time to make sure the job is done correctly. I get dip mani, and usually a regular pedicure. I request her to do both. They last a long time with no breaks, chips, snags, etc. I will say that the prices have gone up. This last time I went I ended up paying more than the previous times and I did not even get a color on my feet. Just a regular pedicure and a dip mani. Not sure if it's a holiday thing, or what, but will need to pay more attention next time. Cute place, clean, and busy. Make an appointment, especially now during the holidays.
