I absolutely love Carolina Nail Bar in Indian Trail! I've been going there for quite some time and the owner/manager Sam and her staff (especially Lily and Danna and Kara) always treat me well and take great care to make sure I receive the best service. If I could give 10 stars I would. They all go above and beyond for all the customers I see in there during my service and I always see folks leaving happy and satisfied. read more

Kara (or Cara) did my SNS and did a fantastic job. She is super meticulous, did an excellent job with my shape and was efficient and was fun to talk to. I had to get 1 tip to complete my nails and normally I notice the difference in the shape and thickness when a tip has to be added. Not with her, she made it look like my natural nail. The music they play is great, the place is clean and cute. Fair pricing too! I have been looking for a place local to me that I was impressed with. I would recommend her and will be going back. read more

Honestly, I loved the place initially. The employees were great and my pedicure went well. I arrived around 10:30am and didn't leave until 1:20pm. Even still, time spent isn't fun but I enjoyed the company. My less than average review comes from how they handled my nails. I showed up with pictures and even said "doesn't have to be specific, long almond nude and shimmery maybe?" After debate on how to achieve the correct color, I even said what was done was fine. Ultimately it's not what I asked for but decided they'd be fine and left. Throughout the day, I was just not happy with them even after just "going with it." So I decided to call. My nails were significantly shorter than I wanted but I know that's not necessarily their fault. I called back to say I just didn't like them and was willing to pay to have them redone. I was responded to by "pictures aren't always what you get." I said I know, which is why I am willing to pay to get them done again. Was then told to wait for the owner to call me back and was then told "come in. We will take them off and refund you. You can go elsewhere." Shocked doesn't even cover it. Walking in I was greeted with "are you Kourtney?" And the nail tech just yelling for the owner I guess. The whole thing was uncomfortable. Customer service lacking SIGNIFICANTLY. The lack of professionalism had me absolutely astounded. I went back to have them removed and wasn't even questioned. Solely transactional. Disappointing. Genuinely disappointed. Throughout my appointment I thought I'd finally found a regular salon. Needless to say, the lack of professionalism and rudeness will keep me from returning. Now I know my measly business won't affect them, but I felt like a review was necessary. Pictures attached are what I asked for, what I got, and how I left after having them removed. Thanks for the refund? And wasting four hours of my time. read more

They really took great care of me and my friend! I was a wonderful relaxing experience.

Carolina Nail Bar is amazing! My nails have never looked better. They are always consistent and give great advice on what is best for my nails and what will look good. The girls go out of their way to learn all their customers names and make everyone feel comfortable. I always get an appointment because they take their time and not rush people in and out like most nail salons. read more

Went for a pedicure with an hour before closing and I was turned away. With all these nails salons around I will not be returning. read more

It was easy to make an appointment online for same day and there was plenty of parking out front. Lily was super talented and friendly. They had lots of covid precautions which I appreciated as well as some movies and music playing. Very clean space and everyone was nice. I got dip French manicure and they came out beautifully. So glad I found this place! read more

the ladies here are wonderful, friendly, and funny. i got a full set and pedicure and enjoyed every minute. they checked in with every step to make sure I was happy with what they were doing. it also was very clean inside and is definitely somewhere I would revisit. read more

Absolutely phenomenal experience every time. Lily Ni is the best... the owner is so friendly and the environment is so soothing.

I've been going here for years and there's a reason. Sam always takes great care of me and my nails look stunning every single time! She has also helped them become so strong and healthy. Everyone here (Lily N. Lilly P. & Sophia) are wonderful. read more

Thank you Bobby, perhaps I didn't make my initial point clear. The central point was less about the scheduling mishap as it was the treatment once I arrived.....I would describe it as curt at the least. And the 'NO SHOW' text I found to be insulting and unnecessary. read more

I've been going to Carolina Nail Bar 3 years and it's the best! Kara usually does my SNS and is amazing, but all of the girls who work there are excellent. read more

I cannot say enough good things about my first experience at Carolina Nail Bar! Sam did my pedicure, and was so professional and caring throughout the entire process (calling me by my first name, asking if I was enjoying my pedicure). You can't find that at other salons these days. The nail salon was clean, and pleasant. The wine topped it all off! I will only be going here for my nails if I can help it! read more

This was my first time visiting Carolina Nail Bar based on a recommendation and I wasn't disappointed! They were able to fit me in last minute and did a beautiful job!! I showed a photo to the nail expert (Sam) and straight away she knew exactly what to do, she was so confident and honest, she gave me nail shape recommendations based on what would be most flattering, which I really appreciated as I could tell she really knew what she was talking about and most importantly she cared! Will definitely be returning! :) read more

Very good service and quality of their manicures & pedicures are well worth the money!

As a person who has gotten regular pedicures for the last two years and occasional manicures, I could not be more disappointed. My wife wanted to do something nice for me as I was sore after participating in a race. Our regular place was closed, and we chose this based on the good rating. Here is why it only got one star. Pros: The scrub massage wasn't uncomfortable (nor was it particularly enjoyable). Cons: I told the person doing my nails not to bother with any trimming. She did it anyway. I told her I would handle my ingrown toe nails, she did it any way--which hurt by the way. The massage chair was uncomfortable and actually kind of hurt. The callous scrub was being done to a part of my foot that didn't need it which was very uncomfortable. The "massage" which is the main reason I wanted to get a pedicure in the first place was not relaxing in the least. The hot stones burned. I told the staff I wanted a manicure, but when I came back from the bathroom, my wife was paying and they were closing--no manicure. Seriously, this was about the least enjoyable experience I have ever had and I nearly got off the chair and just walked out. I dont' know if they were having a bad day or something, but now I want a do over some place else to make up for that uncomfortable situation. One lady did mention that I should say if I was uncomfortable, so I did tell them it burned and hurt, but it just piled up. I hope others never have this happen to them. read more

I have been coming here since the first month they we're open. I will say that the women who do my nails are phenomenal, but the young ladies who do the pedicures are rude, unprofessional, and do not make it a relaxing experience as it should be. It's rather disappointing because I actually loved the location at one point, however today will be my last day. I don't want to have to argue about cutting my toenails down when I request them to be, or to be told a color I selected is ugly because the particular nail tech doesn't like yellow! The last 3-4 visits there has been something with the two pedicure ladies. I still tip in spite of the unprofessionalism, but they would probably get more of a top (from me at least) if they were professional. I'm over it! I won't continue to spend my money where it's a problem to get what I ask for especially when I KNOW I AM VERY POLITE!!! I'm done!!!! read more

Being new to the area I've been looking a spot. The decor in this place is beautiful. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. I had an appointment with Lily for SNS w/manicure, pedicure w/ gel polish and eyebrows. I was very pleased with all of my services She was very attentive, offered me a drink and made sure I was comfortable. I look forward to making my next appointment with her. read more

Came back for a second visit (I haven't been able to come I since March due to a fractured pelvis) for an acrylic full set and had had a wonderful time with John. He listened to all of my requests and did beautiful work. I appreciated he availability and convenience of the online appointments and the staff was extremely friendly and caring. They are busy, so I would suggest to definitely make and keep your appointments! read more

I chose this nail bar based on their good reviews. While my mani and pedi were decent, the owner is surly and condescending, telling me she was sure I could manage to get my own shoes on when I asked for help so as not to smudge my newly painted nails. Will not be back! read more

This was my first time going to this salon and I was very glad I did! Lily did a great job on my nails and honestly I think it's the best I've ever gotten my nails done anywhere! read more

The work at this salon is excellent however attitude towards customers is very poor. I inadvertently missed an appointment and received call ten minutes after my appointment time from salon owner only to be chastised by the owner. It was an honest mistake on my part. I was told I had kept the owner spending an extra hour with their child. Again this was not intentional. Multiple times I have had to wait as the salon as the owner was running late and not there yet. I have taken my business elsewhere. read more

Beautiful salon with friendly and talented workers. This is the only salon I'll be returning to because they don't rip you off by adding expensive services like almost all other salons seem to do. The prices here are very reasonable. I don't often spend money on things like this, but because their prices are so reasonable and their people are so nice, and their work is excellent is why I'll be a repeat customer. read more

Finally found an amazing salon in this area! I was able to easily book an appt for my mom and I for her bday. We were accommodated as soon as we came in, offered drinks and got started at the same time. Sam was so personable and friendly and we had such a fun time! She did cute designs on my moms nails. The massage chair is strong and felt so good. The salon is very classy and elegant. They had TVs playing a show and the news with throwback songs playing through the place. I am very pleased with my experience and can't wait to come back. read more

Came in for a mani and pedi, ended up getting my eyebrows waxed too! I can't stress enough how hard it is to find a salon that understands just because I'm a guy, doesn't mean you have to be all aggressive. They took really good care of me. Staff was super friendly and understanding! read more

I was in the area and needed an manicure really badly. I stopped in and got the manicure-pedicure package. The have a nice selection of Morgan Taylor polish that is really pretty. Additionally, in the future I want a SNS dip because they have a nice collection. My nails are a little short but once they are longer the dip seems like a good option. The salon is gorgeously modern and super clean. It was very relaxing and I highly recommend going here. Loved my experience here and the manager Kathy and the nail tech Connie were wonderful. read more

This was a great a experience, they weren't busy due to the beginning of the week but I have to say they did a great job. I love my nails, the shop is very clean and neat, they are pleasant people who work there, and it's a very relaxing and calm vide. I will definitely be recommending this location to anyone I know. I moved to this side of town recently and was looking for a new nail place to go to and for me that's a hard thing to look for; I usually never find the right place. But I have to say this might just be the one for this side of town for me. read more

Incredible experience. Rose, the new owner gave me a mani/pedi, and maya took care of my girlfriend. Tina greeted us and made the experience great, along with Bobby. Great ambiance, decor. Staff incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we both felt totally relaxed. Recommend to anyone and we will make this place a tradition. read more

This nail salon has one of the BEST atmospheres I've seen in a long time. Extremely clean and soothing decor. Offers adult refreshments and pleasing current music. Comfortable atmosphere. Tracy did my SNS powder color change and it looked more like a natural nail than I've ever seen. I'm finicky about the shape of my short nail and she worked to get it where I wanted it. It was not a thick layer and she did not "over-use" the Dremel tool...keeping the health of my nail intact. I've already made another appt! read more

I had an appointment which i was on time for but they only had one person who knew how to do SNS. So they weren't able to get to me until an hour from my set appointment time! So what's the purpose of making an appointment if they're not going to adhere to the time i scheduled it for? Bad service. This was my first time there and I was highly disappointed. Not to mention that they didn't act like they during care. read more

I went here 6 days ago to get a fresh set of SNS nails. The shape is god awful and not anything close to what I asked for yet she still charged me an extra $5 for uneven square shaped nails. Now 6 days later the top coat is already chipping away. I used to go here all the time but they really don't care what their nails look like when people leave nor customer service as she sat on her phone for 10 minutes while in the middle of my nails. Waste of money read more

Walked in disappointed because I came in after work, an hour and a half after close and they couldn't assist me. Two people walked in first before I did. They said hi to them and asked them what they needed. After they told the two girls they couldn't do any services because there was only two of them working and won't have time. The girls said ok and left behind me. Then one of the employee just asked me if I wanted to make an appointment without even acknowledging me or telling anything. I was highly disappointed because I was skeptical of going here in first place since I don't live in this area. I should've just follow my gut, I won't be coming back or near ever again. read more

I found out about Carolina Nail Bar after searching online for a new nail salon to start coming to. I ended up choosing this particular nail bar bc they had so many good reviews and I liked all the pictures of previous clients nails I saw online. I booked an appointment that evening for myself, my sister, and my niece and I am so happy I did. All 3 of our nails turned out fabulous! Jennifer did my nails and I absolutely LOVE the work she did!!! She took such good care of my cuticle (which I am very particular about) and shaped my real nails so good that I didn't even need or want to get tips added on like I normally would do for more length. I was very specific about what I wanted done and Jennifer delivered 100% down to the decoration, color, shape, etc.! Mya did my sisters nails, and John did my niece's nails. All 3 of us walked out of there so happy and pleased with their work. I would also like to add that we were offered wine while we got our nails done which I loved! The establishment is very clean, well decorated, and comfortable. Our appointment started on time down to the minute, and everyone was sIo friendly. The picture I added to this review is 4 days after I got my nails done and after working 3 bartending shifts (I use my hands a lot at work). I wish I would have remembered take a picture the same day I got my nails done bc my hands, nail bed, and cuticles looked immaculate! I will definitely be coming back to see Jennifer in the next couple weeks to get my nails done again. I think I have found my new place!!! Thank you Carolina Nail Bar!!!! read more
