Finally found a consistent nail salon and tech! I'm so excited! Brooke B. is my nail girl and she is everything! I love that she is eager to do designs on my nails unlike other salons. I never leave with boring nails. I really like that they take appointment times seriously which is a downfall with a lot of salons around here. If your appointment is at a certain best believe it starts at that time! In and out in about an hour or less depending on the service. Not sure if they have wine or champagne but you may be able to bring it in. However if they do it would be the icing on the cake! The space is super cute and modern! read more

Yasmin is always amazing. She's so talented!! She makes sure the nails are always up to standard and spends a lot of time perfecting them. read more

Bella Nail Bar - Yasmin did gel-x with design - Nail Salons Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

We have been coming here since they started off and on .. but this last visit was the worst visit .. we asked for designs we were charged an extra 20.00 per person and the design literally looked like a first grader could have done it.. the nail tech we had didn't seem like they wanted to be there.. The vibe was not very welcoming.. 170.00 was the total cost for two people and already pulling away and it's only been three weeks read more

I had never been to Bella Nail Bar before, and booked an appointment with a master technician for a dip manicure at $50. I only went there because I was unable to go to my regular nail salon of which I've used for over 6 years. When I arrived a gal told me she was ready for me. She took a very long time to do the job, and at that it wasn't very good. I already knew I wasn't going to come back, and when she told me the charge I asked her how that could be as I booked with a master technician. She said that they originally did book me with a technician at the $50 rate, but she took me instead, and she was more at $60. I had zero time to argue the charge as I had an engagement I had to get to. At no time did they tell me or even ask me that I wasn't with a more expensive technician. It was a bait and switch move. Absolutely terrible! Do not go to this place period. read more

I've only had my nails done here once but wouldn't return. My first red flag should have been the switch from the technician I booked with to someone else. Upon arrival, I was greeted and checked in quickly. My technician took me to her station and immediately started asking questions about my likes and dislikes in nails. I've been getting Gel X for about 2 years and have had acrylics prior to the extensions so this isn't new to me. I'm one week out and my nails are already lifting, and I have a fungal infection where she cut my cuticle. Also, the white of my French manicure is uneven and sloppy. After spending over $100, I expected more. Be careful with this place! read more

Jasmyn, is an all star! She was so friendly and paid attention to detail. She was careful with my cuticles and took care of hands. I was so appreciative of her diligent work. I will definitely be back. read more

I walked in and got signed in, and once I sat down nobody even spoke to me or was inviting at all. I walked out due to that very thing. If you can't speak and make feel welcome, I can not give my mone. read more

I usually go to solonaire 5 minutes away thought id try somewhere new. I asked for french gel and wanted a tiny flower on 1 finger of each hand. I picked out nail polish to draw the flower. She didnt draw the flower she said she had some sticker. The sticker wasnt as cute as the flowers the other place draws and the whole thing was double the price. She was gentle. Very quiet. No hand massage or lotions or hand scrub. She was so silent it seemed a bit uncomfortable. My nails are cute so im not displeased but dont know id come back at double the cost. read more

Stopped in while visiting family and got a great dip manicure. Will go again next time I'm in town

Clean, friendly amazing pedicure! It was my first time at Bella Nail Bar, totally first class experience . The young lady doing my pedicure was very attentive and conversational not gossiping with other co-workers as so many other nails salon experiences I've had, you never know if they're talking about you?? 100% recommend Bella Nail Bar! read more

Jaysmyn did an awesome job with my nails. I brought her an inspiration pic and she looked at it once and basically recreated it perfectly. read more

Bella Nail Bar - Inspiration on the left and my nails on the right. - Nail Salons Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Had the worst pedicure and manicure ever! Leaving for vacation and scheduled dip for my fingernails. I needed tips and the tech said it took too long and he doesn't do that! Filed my nails very very short. Looks terrible. Two people have mentioned that it looks like he didn't trim my cuticles. He sanded my whole nail down and now it will take months to grow out. Worst tech ever! Do not go there! read more

This is my favorite nail salon around! After a few bad experiences other nearby places, I won't go anywhere else! Highly recommend!

Update: I'm bumping my review up to 3 stars because the shop called to try to make the situation right. I will be making another appointment and will reassess once I've gone back. If I could give 0 stars I would, but I'll do 1 star because the tech next to mine was very sweet. I had an appointment with this salon on Monday at 530. When I first got there I heard one of the techs say "oh, she made it." I was right on time so I wasn't sure why the comment was made. When I started talking to my tech, I understood it was a comment out of disappointment. When I started talking to my tech, I asked how he was doing and he said "not great." I asked if he was ok because this is a very bizarre response from someone in a service business, and because I was a bit concerned. He explained he was nauseated and wanted to go home. This is concerning. He then proceeded to tell me that he'd be in at 10 the next morning if I wanted to come back. Did I mention that this was my first time at this salon? Not a good first impression, as my time is just as valuable as yours. He eventually told me why he was nauseated so I deemed it wasn't contagious and stayed. I should have left. As the appointment proceeded, it just got more awkward. I had made the appointment for acrylic nails. He told me that my nails were in pretty good shape and he didn't want me wasting my money on something I didn't need. I hesitantly agreed. He asked what color I wanted and I told him I wanted a French tip. He told me he didn't have time for that and if I wanted it I'd have to reschedule. I've been having my nails done for YEARS and have NEVER been told this. It literally takes almost no time to do it. I've watched it done over and over. I now understand that he was the absolute laziest person I've ever experienced in this industry. He didn't feel like doing the French tip or acrylic. It gets better. He talked about how he needed a muzzle because sometimes he said things he shouldn't say to customers. The tech beside me agreed. The girls beside me were talking about their disdain for car shows and he said something about being "rednecks." It took me off guard because the context in which he said it was bizarre and very rude. Because of my background as a Diversity Analyst, I have very low tolerance for this sort of rude comment. When I went to pay, I ended up being charged $30 more than what the online quote said, got less of a service because, remember, he was trying to save me money since he didn't think I needed acrylic. I paid it (but shouldn't have). When he went to scan my card he asked me what I wanted to tip. I have never, ever had such a rude nail tech. I thought about not mentioning his name but this guy should not be in this industry. People pay very good (hard earned) money for these services and part of the experience is customer service, especially if the person your servicing is being nice to you. His name is Patrick. I will never be back. I will make sure everyone I know never wastes their time or money here. I will write a poor review on every form of media I can find. I may not make a difference in this salon but after reading all the other reviews, I'm not the only one who had a bad experience and if enough of us leave bad reviews, eventually people will notice. FYI, I paid almost $90 for a soak off, gel polish, really horrible customer service, and sh*tty looking nails that weren't even and were clumpy in spots. This is my mistake. Won't make it again. read more

I had an appointment at a different nail salon but after a horrible experience and having to walk out of the appointment, I called BELLA NAIL BAR and they were able to accommodate a last-minute Dip manicure. I was greeted with smiles and a very clean space. The salon is so cute! Bri was my technician. She did a wonderful job, her attention to detail was very appreciated. With Bri -to remove my dip powder and a new dip manicure took all but 50 mins! I will def. be coming back! Thanks Bri!!!! read more

I would have rated this place a solid 4.5, but felt I had to modify simply because the manicure was literally just a nail file and a standard nail polish. There was no soaking, moisturizing, oiling, etc. Maybe modify the name to "nail file"? Either way, paying $35 for a nail file is just absurd. The pedicure was lovely, as was the tech. She was gentle, lively, kind, and fun to chat with. I would recommend pedicures here, or if you're looking for manicure with gel nail polish, or acrylic nails. The designs I saw while there were really beautiful. All the technicians seems to be very talented. read more

My first time to Bella Nail Bar was today and I enjoyed my visit. I had Dan for a gel pedicure and dip manicure. He was professional and efficient with the time. I also felt that their prices were very fair and I respect that the longer an employee is there the more the employee makes for the services. read more

The whole place was very clean and nice. My tech was very considerate and funny which I love. Overall good experience read more

Got my nails done by Mindy! Great service and I was beyond happy with the outcome! Thank you so much Mindy!

This was my first visit. The salon was clean, and the front desk staff was friendly. My pedi was done by Corinne. They look amazing! She is newly out of school and is meticulous. She was friendly, and made sure I had what I needed. I will be back, and Corrine is who I will ask for! read more

This is my favorite nail salon I've tried in the area, and trust me I've tried many. Always clean, always professional, and the online booking is absolutely brilliant! I've been 4 times, and each time, I've been very pleased. The technicians here take pride in what they do, and want you to leave satisfied with their work. I am updating my review to make it 5 stars. Very clean, very professional, and it's clear they take pride in their work. For those complaining they don't take walk ins.... try booking online. It's easy! read more

I must have got there on unfriendly day. Staff was aloof and unfriendly, they did a poor job on my nails, you can easily see where the tips were glued on. From the reviews I expected better, totally disappointed and they still charged full price. Avoid this place, there are better salons out there. read more

Nails were awful girl claimed she could do a pink and white ombré it looked like she tried to do it blindfolded super disappointed

I was so excited to try this place. I have heard very good things and after many failed nail salons I thought why not. I made an appointment online and made a reservation with a certain person, they told me that the person had already taken someone and that I could go with someone else. I thought it was weird but shrugged it off. My nail appointment came along and the person was nice but not too talkative. I was so happy with my nails and thought they looked great. This was Feb 8th and my nails popped off TODAY. I got Dip with Tip and never in a million years has dip lasted 1 week and a half!! I spent an hour today Buffing and try to make my nails look nice again. Not sure what happened, I don't know if a step was missed or something but thats ridiculous for the amount of money I payed plus tip! read more

Do NOT Go! Stopped in had an hour and 45 minutes. Wanted my nails done with dip and polish only on my toes. Very slow and only was able to get my toenails polished. No filing no cutting no nothing. And nails soaked off. Charged me $54.00 for toenail polish and soak off of dip. Didn't have time to finish before my meeting. Terrible and WAY too pricey. $$$$$$$$ read more

This review is a month overdue but I have to let people know about this place! Hands down the best nail salon I've ever been to! This nail salon is the epitome of what a nail salon should be! Beautiful decor, very clean, friendly staff whom seemed professional in attitude and attire, great location, great pricing, and ample parking. River (Artistic Director) did my French pedicure and it was beautifully done and she went above my expectations. She's a French pedicure goddess! Super friendly! I was only visiting the area and wish I can find a place like that in the area I live. read more

I'd probably be able to give it a better rating if I ever received service. I've been getting my nails done my whole life. I've been to the best of the best salons in Vegas, Wqshington Dc, LA, and many more and I've NEVER had a salon not plan and prepare for walk-in appointments. It's cool, I'll take my business to a salon down the street. No biggie. read more

They did a good job on my wedding mani and pedi (French gel) however it lasted only a week and a half for gel. Usually my gel mani/pedis from other places last close to three weeks. Staff was very friendly though! read more

I got my nails done for my birthday, and it was an overall meh experience. I had one of the male nail techs, and he criticized my opinions the entire appointment. He cut 4 of my cuticles with the electric nail file, and they bled throughout the whole time. He also made transphobic remarks to me in passing (as someone who is active in the LGBT community, I found it completely inappropriate). Bella Nail Bar raised their prices for acrylic nails sometime over the past six or seven months, and it just wasn't worth the money. read more

You won't find me in a Nail bar much but I had to burn some time while my phone was being repaired at Battery plus and I had already hiked and ate so out of boredom/intrigue I ventured into Bella for my first Mani/Pedi! I was pleasantly surprised by the attentiveness and even great conversation I received from Skylar!! Naturally I Dont have a baseline to compare, but I can recognize great customer service and attention to detail anywhere! Well done SKYLAR! read more

If you're looking for dip powder. Go see Thanh! I've been to her twice now and both times, I have loved my nails. Smooth, not chunky and she takes her time and gets it done right the first time! read more

Bella Nail Bar - 5 day old dip powder nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Where do I even begin with what I experienced today. My appt was at 11am. I showed up 1045am so I could pick my color. The lady doing my nails was running late and asked me if I could move my pedi back to 3pm. I responded with no because I have somewhere to be, she then started asking me all the details of where I was going ect. Then proceeded to take 2 hours to do a dip mani that looks absolutely horrible. The color was the wrong color, when I pointed it out she said it will get darker with the top coat. I now have peach sparkle nails, and I picked brownish color. Don't forget, she agreeded the color was wrong and never offered to change it. All around my nails is dry cuticle skin. My hands looks horrible. $70 dollars!! And I have to pay someone to take it off tomorrow! Insane!! read more

I decided to try out Bella Nail Bar, after not being able to get an appointment with my regular salon. No regrets here. Liz did an excellent job on both my gel mani and pedi. My nails never chipped and the art work was awesome. We went with an Ukraine theme with blue nails with sunflowers. If it wasn't for the grow out, I would have left them on longer than the three weeks, for my next appointment. Replaced with a lighter blue and artwork again and after one week, they still look great. No more struggling to get an appointment with the other salon, I'm sold on Bella Nail Bar. read more

After moving from out of state and needing to find a new nail salon, I tried Bella Nail Bar. Kaylie (hope I spelled that right) did my gel mani and she was so nice! She did a great job with my nails that were too short. Will definitely be back! read more

Kind of pricey..but I've been going here for about a year and I love it. My only real complaint is that a certain tech often argues with me about designs I want (even though I always book extra design time) because he doesn't have time. In my opinion it just seems like what i ask for is beyond his skill set. Easy fix though, I just don't book with him anymore. Everyone else that has done my nails is lovely read more

I booked an appointment with Yasmine through their booking app and was very pleased with her services. She was very kind and I am happy with the results of the gel manicure. Good prices too! I look forward to coming back here for my next manicure or pedicure. The salon also has a very nice atmosphere. Thank you! read more

I have gotten good manicures & pedicures BUT one I went for a 9:00 appointment ent & nail tech called & said she couldn't get there until 10:30. I was already there. My friend & I went for pedicure last week & had to ask twice for a quick dry top coat. This morning I went for a manicure scheduled at 9:00. Nail tech got there at 9:15 & manicure started at 9:20. I told the mail tech I was leaving on vacation & need to leave by 10:00. I left at 10:02. No quick dry top coat which I asked if she put anything else on. Nope. Got home. Both thumb nails & 1 finger on each hand messed up. No time to go back as flying out soon. : ( read more

Wonderful service! Bella Nail bar is very clean and everyone there is so friendly and helpful!
