    The inside of this establishment is very cute, it feels welcoming but very compacted. If you're claustrophobic , don't come here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came in here with no appointment at 12:45p on a Friday and they were able to sit me down. The place was very packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service I wanted was a simple manicure. I chose a cool color and I just mainly wanted my nails shaped and my cuticle tamed. I chose regular nail polish because I don't want to have this color on my nails for a long time. I've been getting gel x fill ins for the longest time at a different salon but I got a new position at work that isn't suitable for nails. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So a lady sits me down and she is prepping my nails. She says "why don't you get gel?" And I said her that I didn't like gel and she said that it will last me a much longer time.. great that's what I'm trying to avoid. She goes on and on about how gel is so much better than regular nail polish and how I need to choose gel. I explain my reasoning of why I don't want gel after her saying that I need to get gel 7 different times and she looked at me like I was crazy, 1 eyebrow up, 1 eyebrow down and mouth open, absolutely silent. It was so insulting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've never had any technician look at me like that and I've been to many nail salons. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She says how long do you want it on? And I said "just 2-3 days" and she said "it's not even going to last that long, it last one day, gonna be chipped." (Is that a threat?) And I said "that should be fine, thank you for telling me"[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So she puts my hands down and she grabs the card payment thing and she says "it'll be $27" and I said "now?" And she said yes.. we're in the middle of the procedure and my nails aren't painted yet.. and then she doesn't speak to me for the rest of the time. She was gentle with my hands at-least, super rushed though. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Can I just get regular nail polish without a technician looking at me so dumb?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I felt like [[HIGHLIGHT]]Anyways, this place gets 2 stars, 1 for the place being cute and then 1 for the OTHER lady who smiled at me and made me feel a little better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    So I've been here a couple times I go with my mom some times and I got my nails done for the beach. I got acrylics , and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the person who did my nails was Emy. she is awesome and she asked me for special French tips or regular i said which over and she picked the special and it is awesome so thank you Emy and all the workers[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I also loved the decor btw. -Olivia

    I had an average pedicure. I waited a while for a chair and then waited a bit more for a technician on a Thursday night. I did not have a reservation so was a walk-in. I had the basic pedicure and the lady did a good job. The polish did start to chop off after two weeks so it didn't last as long as I would have liked. After my pedicure, it was also closing time at 7pm and most of the staff was leaving and cleaning up. My technician brought the machine over to pay and I paid and waited s bit longer to dry my toenails. I then proceeded to leave and another employee rushed after me in the parking lot asking if I had paid. I don't like being chased as if I had but paid for something. I paid and tipped and this was miscommunication on their part. I won't be back after this.

    This is by far my favorite nail salon. Not only do they do a wonderful job but they make me feel comfortable with their temperature check every time. They have a wide variety of drinks and, here's the best part, MOCKTAILS. They are so accommodating with our being pushy. When my family came in town for Christmas (all had quarantined) we made an appointment to all go (there were 5 of us). The service was amazing.

    Came for a last minute appt and was super satisfied! Lots of colors to choose from. Q took his time with my nails and checked in with me on the look and my comfort throughout my appt. Would definitely come back!

    Amazing work done by your one and only B mannn she makes it happen I will always recommend her ... So to start off I was welcome and offer a drink and due to Ms.B being a little busy I didn't mind for Q to start my nails he did an awesome job with the shape however when it came down to applying the powder gel it was a roller coaster bumps and when I ask for him to fix his mistakes he replied that it's look good to him and I wanted to cry but because B did my feet and I let her fell and told her I didn't like how it was done she automatically told him about his mistakes and fix it and for that I love her as my nail tech.I can honestly say the 165 was worth it

    Mediocre cuticle care and uneven nail filing.

    The worse pedicure and salon experience I've ever had. I selected the deluxe jelly pedi: it lasted 17 minutes total, the massage was about 90 seconds on each foot (yes, I timed it). My nails weren't filed even and the polish application is embarrassing. There were four of us being serviced and only one enjoyed her service...that's why they get a 2star instead of 1 star review.

I had used a technician named Julie last time I was there and she did a great job. I called today for an appointment with Julie and was told she was not available. The person I spoke with was not fluent in English. I went: Hoping for the best. First of all, there was only customer in the place at 3 p.m. Then the quasi-manager assigned a male technician. I told her I prefer a woman, because men are too rough. I was assured that this guy was gentle; no problem. My bad: I should have walked out right then. The manicurist spoke only a few words of English. The pedicure went ok, but the manicure not so much. He did not do a good job AND WAIT FOR IT, cut the cuticle on my thumb so badly that it bled A LOT. By this point, I just wanted to get the heck out of there. I love paying $100 to be wounded while getting a BAD manicure. On the way out, I asked the quasi-manager what is going on, and why can't I get Julie to do my nails? The actual situation is that the business has been sold and all of the previous employees quit. That is why no Julie and no customers. DON'T USE THIS PLACE. And to the new owner: hey, you are doing a great job: no employees and no customers. Unless you plan to use the place to launder money, you have some material issues to deal with; one of which is that I will take you to small claims court if my finger gets infected and I need to see a doctor. GOOD

    WOW I loved my experience at Sizen Nails. I scoured every nail salon in the area to find one whose…read morepictures I liked, which led me here. Their shop is in a grocery plaza so parking is plentiful. The inside is spacious and clean, with separate areas for manicures and pedicures. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I am a picky customer and my nail technician Thuy was so patient and communicative working with me to ensure I got exactly what I wanted. She had such a light hand filing my existing gel off, and a very good eye for shape and symmetry. I came in thinking I would get oval nails as usual, but she suggested almond and thankfully I took her word for it. Some of my nails and fingers are a bit wonky, so I have always feared that something pointier like almond would emphasize the asymmetry. However, she did an amazing job with the shape and I am now an almond convert. Thuy also has a remarkably steady hand, and my cuticles remained spotless with no stray gel streaks to be cleaned up. I opted for a polka dot pattern and she absolutely nailed the spacing. She moved with care to ensure that each dot was round, equidistant, and the same size, erasing and restarting when needed. Sizen nails is currently running a 20% off mani and pedi as of 5/14/26, and the prices are AMAZING. My gel mani with designs on all 10 fingernails was $44. As someone used to California prices, my jaw dropped when she showed me the total. I think I found my nail salon in NC, and will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

Before Eden, I went to a different salon that gave me a botched, painful manicure, but I was able to schedule an appointment with Eden for the next morning.

A simple "sorry that happened" would have totally saved this fiasco. Even for private business, customer service requires the skills to be gracious, and that was sadly lacking. I am an ally of the clear community and prefer to patronize small women or businesses, but this one for sure is crossed off my list.
