My daughter and went for pedicure at Bella Nail Bar ! We enjoyed it very much ! Thanh D did my pedicure. She was professional, fun, kind and did a fabulous job. I love my toes :). I also felt safe during these times. I will definitely being going back again. read more

First timer here. I had an excellent experience with my pedicure. I wish I got the lady's name, she was amazing. I'll definitely return!

A bit disappointed. This was my first (and last) time here. I got a call the day of my appointment requesting I come a half hour later, which I agreed to. Despite this I still waited 15 minutes and no one updated me as to the status of my appointment, or told me to select a polish - nothing. When I booked my appointment, I specifically chose this location because nail art was in their advertising and I added it to my appointment request. I was saddened to find out the nail tech could not do art, nor could anyone else. It was the entire reason I tried this salon. I won't be returning. read more

If I could give no stars, I would. I paid a higher cost for a full set because I saw such high ratings. Well after less than two weeks my nails popped off! I was literally putting meat into my grocery cart and 3 popped off!!!!! This is what my nails look like with less than two weeks!! read more

Bella Nail Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

See all

Never received service. I scheduled an appointment on February 23 for service on March 9 (today). I received a call this morning canceling my appointment. While I understand things can happen it would've been nice to receive a heads up. I scheduled in advance because I have plans. Luckily I found a salon with short notice. Then they called me wondering where I was. read more

My first visit to Bella and it was the best!! Alex did a fantastic job. Everyone is very nice & I will definitely be going back.

Beat experience!!! I came here because I wanted to get the gel nail polish off. I had Patrick, and he explained how gel worked and did a great job. I suggest you go get your nails done with Patrick!!! read more

Went in about 6:00pm, was told they couldn't get me in until 7:15 said okay. Left and got a call about 30 minutes later asking if I'd want to come in at 7 instead, agreed. I got there 5 minutes till and she didn't even get finished until 7:15? Seriously why call me and get me in there sooner just to wait for the same time...? It makes no sense, and to top it off I wanted acrylic and I was told they didn't have time, well if you took me at the time you rescheduled me for it would have been fine but instead I had to settle for gel. This was my first visit and I was highly annoyed. I ended with 20 minutes to spare before closing? Never have I ever gone to a nail salon and was told you can't do nails past closing? Your finishing a clients nails not starting a new set. I'm beyond confused? read more

It was my daughter's wedding weekend. The matron of honor had made reservations MONTHS in advance for the bride, bridesmaids and myself to receive gel manicures. She even called the salon a couple times the week or two before to confirm. They confirmed that they had all of our reservations and everything was good. The day of our appointments was a disaster! They messed up several of the appointments and said they didn't have our names. A bridesmaid and me, the mother of the bride, was turned away. I had to drive to a different nail salon in order to get my nails done. The staff at Nail Bar was rude. The bride was in tears. It was the day before her wedding and the bride and her mom couldn't get their nails done together. I had to go by myself someplace else. The matron of honor did her extreme diligence to make the day go smoothly. The Nail Bar dropped the ball, didn't offer any solutions, was rude, and didn't offer a discount to those who were able to get their nails done. DO NOT go to this salon! read more

Very clean. Attention to detail. Friendly and professional staff. I get gel polish every two weeks. Many other salons have failed to be able to keep the polish last the two weeks. read more

I heard so many good reviews about this place but I was very disappointed in their customer service. I went in to get my nails done for my wedding, the woman that did them just seemed annoyed and like she didn't want to do it. I had never had acrylics before so I had no idea what they were supposed to look like. I left and realized they we're about three times thicker than my sisters and there were bubbles all over my nails. My fault that I didn't catch it before I left. Called to set up an appointment to fix them and asked for someone else because I didn't like her attitude. The lady that did mine the next day had an even worse attitude and barely said anything the entire time. Very unpleasant experience in total. read more

I love getting my nails done and the last time I didn't have gel on my nail was 5 years ago, so I think I definitely could offer some information about the salon. They do not have nail display stick so you have to choose from the wall. Honestly , the color could turn out very differently on your nail , depending on how many coats you have, so by just looking at a bunch of nail polish it's so difficult to choose the right color. Besides, I don't think the technique is good. I have nail polish everywhere on my fingers near the nail....and the gel on my nail does not look good because the surface of the gel is not smooth. I have been to too many nail salon and this standard is just not ok with me. Other than these, the staff are friendly. If you don't have high standard about your nail, this is the place to go. However, if you are someone like me, I would not recommend. read more

I am just visiting in the area, but will definitely come back here on my next visit. The place is immaculate. The staff is so friendly. I really just can't say enough about how nice, relaxing, and clean Bella Nail Bar is. This is by far the nicest nail salon that I've been to in a long time. I highly recommend. read more

Bella Nail Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Today was my first time going to Bella nail bar, I had made an appointment a week before. When I got there they sent me straight to the nail tech and he asked to choose a polish but i wanted an acrylic ombré so i showed him a picture & he told me that he didn't have time to do that ... okay so i chose a polish .. what's the point of making an appointment if he was gonna tell me he didn't have time to do what I wanted? Anyways I needed my nails done so I chose a color & my nails are all uneven in shape & length. They are very lumpy!!! I did not like my nail tech at all. Although the place was very nice & clean. Sadly I paid $75 for nails I did not like & I couldn't even get what I asked for read more

Terrible experience yet. From scheduling to actual nail work. Good luck if you decide to go here.

I had Kady Clark as my nail tech and she was amazing. She was sweet and talked to me during the apt so no awkward silences. She went above and beyond my expectations. read more

I don't often post reviews as I am typically easy to please. My experience was absolutely terrible at Bella Nail Bar. I arrived on time (5 min. early) for my appointment, and I was told my tech was running behind. I assumed that mean like max. ten minutes, but I was never given a time. It ended up being 25 minutes that I waited. Then the tech did not even speak to me the entire time. It was incredibly awkward and unprofessional. I was then told I needed to sit by the lamp for an hour to dry my nails. I have NEVER been told it would take an hour to dry polish. Anyways, I just do not want someone else to have this same experience. Choose another nail salon - oh I also find it comical that they wrote me and do not have my name in their system. I certainly have a bank statement with a charge from this nail salon so that's absurd. read more

Judging by all the great reviews of this place, I must have been a fluke. I was a walk in and the only person there so I didn't have any problems getting a manicure. I was in somewhat of a rush, and decided to give my nails a break so I just asked for a clear top coat, no color polish. This was by far the longest manicure I have ever had- it took over an hour- and was very sloppy. Cuticles were not trimmed, edges were rough, and I gave up after asking her to fix mistakes five different times. My nails were super uneven (in length and shape) even though I have them at a pretty low-maintenance length. After I left I found myself thinking, "what did she actually do?" during over an hour of work. I think I must have just gotten someone who didn't specialize in manicures or was new. read more

The absolute best nail experience! Professional staff with great, positive vibe. I am very particular about my nails and Alex made sure I was satisfied. They have a repeat customer for sure! read more

Great place. I've been twice now. Love the gel polish. Ambience is nice. Book an appt online or they probably won't be able to take you as a walk in. I'll be back again! read more

IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO GET YOUR NAILS DONE, THIS IS THE PLACE! Easily the best nail salon in the area. I moved to Dayton right when Bella opened and was nervous to try a "nail bar", but it has absolutely blown all other salons out of the water. The decor is cute, simple, and EVERYTHING is clean. No acrylic dust, no tacky statues or wall posters...extremely professional. The polishes are displayed well, and they have a HUGE selection. Every single employee is friendly and makes an effort to make you feel welcome and comfortable. The services are well priced and the final product is perfect. I get regular gel polishes and they literally NEVER peel or chip. They even ask you if you'd like to keep the personal file and buffer they use during your visit! They also offer occasional specials and discounts through their social media pages. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

i have been to bella now a handful of times and i love the atmosphere! They play HGTV on 24/7. it's very relaxing and clean. Definitely need to make an appointment if there's a certain day or time you want but i highly recommend this place! read more

I love that I can log in to their website and make my appointment, have been going for a couple of months now and have to say that have been very satisfied with everyone who has done my nails, and the cost is so much more reasonable than other places. Will keep coming back. read more

This was an extremely well run nail salon. Found this location because we walked from the Mazda dealership while our oil was being changed. There was a cancellation so Anna, the owner, was able to squeeze us in for a dip powder and French gel. While we were waiting for my nails to soak, my mom got a call her car was ready to be picked up. Anna actually took her in her own car so she didn't have to walk! She is a very personable owner and you can tell she gets to know each of her clients by the way she knows everyone's name when they walk through the door. Both nail technicians took their time and paid attention to every detail. Excellent job done and we will be back! read more

I was a walk in today. I know it says they take walk-ins but they really don't. It just so happened they had 3 no-shows all at the same time so that is how I got in. The place is small but nice and well lit. The girl that did my nails was fine but I'll go to someone different next time I go. It was also fairly clean. They autoclave their utensils which is nice to know. They had to turn away many walk-ins because they were booked with appointments. read more

I have been to Bella Nail Bar about three times now. The first time was pretty great, it was right before Christmas! My nails looked great and I didn't mind paying the higher cost- even though many places at lower costs have done just as nice of a job. The girl who did my nails was really nice and professional, but I can't remember her name. The second time was for my best friends wedding. My nails turned out pretty well. But her pedicure was messed up by the time we walked out. Despite getting my nails done giving plenty of time to dry and what not. Otherwise, another nice experience. My gel manicure seemed to last longer than ones I've had at other places! This last time was a little disappointing. I don't live close to the location anymore, but I figured I would go back to them anyways. My appointment was at around 3pm and I waited about 30 minutes. I didn't mind having to wait since I wasn't in a hurry. After waiting, the girl who did my nails took a chunk (of skin) out of my pinky! I'm a pretty understanding person and she did apologize but I felt there could have been more done than a sorry. She continued on and continued to push on that area and use tools around it which irritated it more and hurt each time. My nails are pretty uneven and don't look that great and at this point I would just rather have them off. And I have a very obvious chunk out of my pinky that hurts and is becoming red and swollen. It was obvious that she had been running late and was in a hurry. Overall, everyone there has been super nice and it is clean and they can do some different styles of nails other places typically don't. Unfortunately it isn't worth the drive out there (or the cost) for me now with the last experience but I know a lot of people who have gone and are always really happy with the results and their nails always look great! read more

What an amazing place! Beautiful salon! Loved my nail technician! She went above and beyond! Thank you for a fun afternoon! I will be back! read more

I had a great experience here. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was nicely decorated and clean. You could tell by the smiles on the "regulars" faces and the friendly conversations in the air that people love this place and continue to come back. This is confirmed by their appointment book :) I will definitely be back. read more

Absolutely wonderful! We had never been before and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Alex did my nails and did an amazing job. Highly highly recommend :) read more

I love this place! I go to Alex and he always does an amazing job. I always get exactly what I ask for. Everyone is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. I love everything about this place read more

I flew in from Austin, Texas to have them do my holiday nails and I could not be any more pleased! The environment is so Elegant and chic. I found that sanitation is clearly VERY important to them, which makes a huge difference in where I select to have my nails done.The nail bar offers a very fun social atmosphere compared to the usual individual station set up of other salons. In addition, you won't find a nicer nail team! Every single employee is incredibly personable, helpful and SO talented! I will be returning for more! read more

I have been to this salon twice, and always left with beautiful nails! The first time was simply a gel polish, and it lasted for almost 3 weeks before it began to chip ever so slightly. Great wear time! The color selection is amazing - so many to choose from! The second time I went I got a French gel manicure, and it turned out very nice. The salon is also incredibly clean (you have the option to take your nail file with you when you are finished) and very well managed; the owners are so unbelievably sweet, and you can tell just from listening to what's going on around you that they've already built up a really great client base. Awesome, considering they haven't been here terribly long! The interior is also super cute, they did a great job with the set up. HOWEVER, the technician I had when I got the actual manicure was absolutely horrible as far as the cuticle side of the manicure goes. I left with all 10 of my cuticles bleeding (she ripped off close to half the cuticle on each nail), and two small chunks taken out of my skin on two of my fingers that bled quite a bit while my French manicure was being done. Even a few days later, I have scabs in my nail beds. Hands down the most painful manicure I've ever had, and while I did not catch her name, just that she was a blonde, if I ever went back and she was the technician presented to me I would certainly request another. Definitely not worth the extra money to get an actual manicure as opposed to just polish if my nail beds are going to be absolutely destroyed. Not impressed. read more

My first time there.. I was impressed with the professional attitude there. Every one seemed to be having a good time working but they were totally attentive to the client. Ashley was great! She greeted me and directed to my pedicure station. We talked about various options. Pedi, spa treatments, etc. she did a wonderful job. I was pleasantly surprised to find out she was doing my pedi, as well as my manicure. We had fun talking. I have gone to places where one person did one, and another, did the others. They are not the least expensive in the area, but definitely the best. BUT, make an appt. I was going to walk in, but called first. Today, Valentines Day, they were amazingly busy. read more

This place had really great reviews so I made an appt and checked it out. The staff is so very friendly and I like the environment of the salon, but the girl who did my acrylics did a few of them really uneven. Like the they look too thin at the tips. She took her time and was very neat and cleaned up better than most but I keep looking down at these couple of nails like why are they so wonky looking?? It also took her a couple tries to understand I wanted natural looking, not almond or coffin or any of that trendy stuff. And the price ended up being more than what was listed on the website. It was ok but I probably won't go back. read more

Even though you make an appointment, they seem to ALWAYS be "running late". This is a total disregard of people's time.

I hate giving bad reviews but I was very disappointed with this place. I am new to the area and I was really excited to check this place out. Based on the reviews it reminded me of what I was used to in DC. I assumed the high prices were going to be based on an amazing, one-of-kind, designs like nail bars usually provide. Unfortunately, I left with my nails not looking the best. Don't get me wrong, my nail tech was extremely personable and friendly but she gave me the impression she was a brand new cosmetology school graduate. I asked for a full gel set and gel pedicure. The salon's selection of nail colors was great (mood changing, matted, ect.) but my pedicure was not good. I had a lot of skin around my cuticles and on my heel even after the whole pedicure. When I mentioned it, my tech attributed it to being on my feet all the time - I work in an office where I am barely on my feet so basically she was making a justification for not removing it. After paying over 120 dollars I left deciding to just live with it and either ask for a new tech next time or find a new place. Then my gel nails on my hands started peeling less than 12 hours later. I came in the next day to see if it could be corrected. The same tech thanked me for giving her an opportunity to fix it and stated this happened because she answered the salons phone while doing my nails originally. Then she looked at my hands and said, "your cuticles are so bad that it damaged how the acrylic was laid which is why it started chipping so I'll redo the acrylic." I was dumbfounded. I had to sit an additional hour for her to slowly correct it. I have been getting my nails professionally done since I was 16 and I have never paid someone so much money to blame a bad nail job on my cuticle's shortcomings. To make it worse the two owners, who are really nice by the way, made it a point to notice I had returned, heard my complaints, and did not intervene, apologize, or anything. I really think the place is a beautiful space but not all the techs perform on the same level and the techniques I experienced are not nail bar level. It's really unfortunate but for those very expensive prices and lack of trained staff, I will not be returning anytime soon. read more

They say they take walk ins but not true. They were booked when I walked in so I had to make an appointment for later in the day. Went back, still had to wait a bit. Got a full set of acrylic nails and gel polish. I ended up with one finger bleeding and the cost was ridiculous, I had sticker shock at $86. One week later, two nails popped right off and two days after that, three more. I finally pulled them all off, very easily I might add. I will not return. read more
