This shop has grown so popular, but their service is always on point! The owner is a gem and I love whenever I get to sit in her chair. She's quick and efficient but does absolutely beautiful work that always holds up. She did a repair on a broken thumbnail for me that lasted for months. Kenny is always a laugh and he's just a fun guy to talk to. The rest of the staff are sweet as can be, no matter what service you're getting done. Almost everyone does gel polish now since it's become so popular and they do it well. It often will last a good three weeks. I often have to worry about the grow-out more than chipping. They're much busier during the summer months when the tourists are here, so I still recommend making an appointment or going in early. There are lots of regular clients, even men, which is fantastic to see. The staff know the regulars by name. It's really a great atmosphere. Their walk-in wait is usually pretty reasonable as well. Their prices are on their website so you won't have any surprises when you check out. Their salon is very clean and I've always been pleased with all the sterilization I've seen. Instruments are autoclaved and opened for each client. I really do love that there's no heavy nail polish smell either. I have migraines and that smell will trigger one, but I never have a problem here, I just don't smell it. I don't know what they do, but I'm pleased about it! If you're looking for a relaxed, welcoming, staff who does great work, this is a great place to go. The fact that they stay so busy all the time should speak volumes. read more

the man who did my manicure did a terrible job, slapped my wrists multiple times because of how my wrists naturally sat while working on my nails and then. he said my nails were lumpy and that's why the polish wasn't looking right. now that it's done I see that it was a sloppy job regardless of my "lumpy" nails. he filed them unevenly and they immediately chipped. He also didn't paint the entire nail. read more

I have been to COBE before and had a nice manicure, but this time...Not the same story! The actual cleaning up of my nails and cuticles was top notch, but the polish?!? I don't know if it was the quality of the polish or the method - not sure. My manicure did not even last 2 days! Chipping, cracking...just terrible: and I wasn't washing dishes or anything hard on my hands and nails. I really have never seen anything like this. Just bad. So bad. read more

an hour ago NEW I used to LOVE Cobe. Tu & Sabrina are wonderful. Always so kind, always took their time. I've never left unhappy with my nails which is why I never minded paying a bit more than other places. About a month or two ago, new managers took over and that's when everything started to change. The new owners have terrible attitudes. They're very rude. People call to make appointments and they don't even write the names down so when you show up for your appointment with your tech, you don't actually have an appointment. My tech and I are friends so knowing this was happening, I personally texted my tech to make an appointment for the next day. When I showed up, I noticed she wasn't there. The male owner knew I was there to specifically see her for a 3:30 appointment and told me it would just be a minute. I assumed my tech was on a lunch break and would be walking in any minute. I waited 15 minutes before he walked over and said "She has the day off." I explained that I had just spoken to her to make the appointment with her the day before. He said "well she's off today, you can wait for someone else." I walked out and immediately text my tech to see what's as going on. She was very apologetic that she hadn't contacted me and then told me they had fired her and 5 other girls that morning. The owner KNEW she wasn't there and still let me sit there and wait for her. I'm very friendly with my techs. I know their families and kids names and they're hardworking, kind people. But these new managers treat their employees awful and after hearing the things the techs have told me, I'm glad they were fired so they can move on and find something better. Save your money on overpriced services and terrible management and go somewhere else. read more

i love, love, love my nails! the lady that did my nails did exactly what i asked for, and over all i walked out with a happy smile and felt like my relaxation day was complete! i have never felt more happy about my hands then i have today! i have looked at my nails at least 90+ times since i got them done at 11. read more

I think Cobe does fine for basic mani and gel but if you want anything specialized they are limited. For example, I asked for a french ombre and they said they could do it, but what I got for $60 was a pink base coat with white sponge-dabbing that didn't even make it a week without chipping. Some workers will pay attention to thickness, cuticles, hand massage and others won't... so there is lack of consistency and varying skills & experience. Once you find your favorite person, you can make an appointment with them which is good. If you are looking for more professional looking or higher end quality, this is not the place. I give them 3 stars for what they do get right, which is friendliness, cleanliness, and appointment availability. read more

200.00 for 2 set's of powder acrylics!! I'm from the way overpriced west coast and it's 60. Tony didn't know how to do them. Did powder than clear acrylic over. All you do is powder than clear polish! Tool over 2 hours. My daughter didn't like her size gem and was told deal with it! She's 16. This place charged more than a cut and hair color for basic nails. Run far away! Didn't even mention asked for skinny coffin and got square! Worst and insanely priced. Not knowledgeable in nail shapes or making them simply the same length. read more

Slow service, i got acrylic nails and they came out uneven and not in a coffin shape like I asked. Also they were not evenly coloured. I would not go here again. read more

Cobe Nails & Pedicure reviews GOOGLE REVIEW SUMMARY 5 4 3 2 1 3.5 86 reviews GOOGLE REVIEWS Most relevant Inez Bailey 14 reviews 28 minutes ago This place is like a sweat shop. The asian lady with the green glasses rushed through a $35.00 pedicure. She clipped my toenails and never used a file for the edge and she didn't smooth the nail at all for polish. She acted like she was clipping the cuticle, but she did nothing. She then slapped the polish on and was done. I took a good look when I came home at how she painted my toenails she didn't even go to the edge near the cuticle it was like a third grader painted your toenails! She was on to the next lady. I was having a set of acrylic nails done after and watched . She ran through the pedicures with the same attention she gave me. They don't care about the service they're providing! They're there just there to take your money! They try to offer you everything in the book. I get it they need to sell to make money, but if they even did a good job it would be worth, it it's not worth it even walking through the door . The lady with the green glasses, she's the worst one of all and acts really nice but does nothing. Don't get a pedicure from her or anyone else. You wont get your moneys worth. They don't care about what service you are paying for!! If you're like me most people go to get a manicure and a pedicure and come out feeling way better than you walked in. You'll feel ripped off, robbed and taken advantage of when you leave this place! read more

Walked and was helped immediately ! Tired of waiting at Le Nails!!! Clean, nicely done!

Always have a good experience here. They're always busy which is a good sign too. Everyone is so friendly and efficient to your service. I would definitely ask for Diane. She is so sweet and really takes her time no matter what she's doing whether it's eyebrows or nails. She always does a good job! Definitely recommend. read more

Not happy at all with my experience. I went in to get my nails done. I use the powder and they had a great selection. The guy started off by cutting my cuticles which I hate. He didn't ask if I wanted it done and quite honestly he cut too much and it hurt. I had 2 nails with old powder that had to be removed- only 2. Anyways the charge was $50. I was totally caught off guard by that cost. Nothing online remotely suggested that would be the price. When I inquired he said it was because he cut my cuticles and had to 'remove' old powder. Again it was 2 nails and he should have told me there was a cost to cutting my cuticles. I hate having that done. He didn't soak my hands, he didn't apply lotion or anything g that would suggest an actual manicure. Regardless $50 for what he did was crazy. It's been exactly 5 days since I had it done and they are already cracking. On top of that horrible experience, a lady came in and asked if they could repair 1 fingernail that broke. The lady up front told her there would be a couple hour wait!!! Really for one fingernail. She told the lady they had appointment coming In soon so they couldn't accommodate her one fingernail. After which I watched 2 ladies come in without appointments and ask for manis and Pedis and the lady told them to have a seat it would be about 10 mins. Right after that a lady and her daughter came In for manis without appointments and again that same lady said 15 mins. I thought that was terrible rude how she could accommodate these people but not the lady wanting one fingernail done. Rude and overpriced. Never going back. read more

Terrible experience today! Went for 2 pedicures that were fair, 30 minutes start to finish although mine was a little longer because I always do gel polish. My nails were acrylic, I have never in 30+ years of having nails do I ever get gel nails. Not only do they look like something I personally would do but the nail tech acted surprised that I did not ask or want gel. She very naively acted like it was something I could get fixed if I want to wait and start all over with someone else. Now I have nails for the Easter holiday that look embarrassing but my bill was 145$ and I after much thought did include a 20% tip! I know they probably talked about it the entire time I was there! I really struggled to keep a pleasant face while getting the poorest services ever. A new spa in coming up the street and I hope it is a place that has consistency in their services. My daughter and I have tried this place before and have never found it to be good but today was the worst. It was a place that I could get an early appointment on Good Friday. I guess that is the first sign! read more

Worst nail salon I have ever gone to. The worker "Ricky" was so incredibly rude, that I left halfway through the appointment. His hands were covered in grime and grease, black under his nails and used the excuse that he had to work on his car this morning. He yelled at me when I asked about the color saying "That's the color you picked!!! IF YOU DIDNT LIKE IT WHY DID YOU PICK IT!??!" And previously to this he pulled a cuticle so far it drew blood and he didn't apologize, and stained my light pink nails with black grease from his hands. It was the most absurd and uncomfortable nail appointment I have ever had. I politely asked if it was ok to not do a pedicure, after my manicure, before I put my feet in the water and he goes "Are you serious? Are you serious? Why not? Why not?" Save your money and don't go... It was traumatizing read more

I would not recommend if you are going to bring your child with you. My sister took her 6 month old child with her to get her nails done and then sat her and filled her nails then could not do the design that she wanted so she told them that was ok and she would just pick out a color. So he asked her to come back. So she called and asked what time and he yelled at her and told her that this was not a place for babies and that she did not need to come back! I very disrespectful and rude to her. read more

Ok, so yesterday was my birthday and I just got a job, so I decided to treat myself to a manicure. My nails tend to catch and tear as soon as they're long enough for a mani, but today they looked perfect so I walked into Cobe and asked for a shellac manicure. They were busy, even though they'd just opened, and I took that to be a good sign. I've never had a French mani before, so I decided on that and it began. Unfortunately, I'm not overly impressed. The final product is better than I anticipated from the halfway point, but my nails were still cut too short and a couple were filed crooked. My right index finger, especially, is visibly askew. Overall not too awful, but I'll be trying somewhere else next time. Plus, several of the unoccupied technicians kept hovering. Like, four at a time, jabbering away in whatever Asian dialect they all spoke, watching my tech work. Sent my already present anxiety through the roof. Not relaxing at all. read more

Cobe Nails & Pedicure - Ok French shellac, but a little short, with a very crooked index finger. Disappointing overall. - Nail Salons Near Me - Morehead City, North Carolina

A friend and I went to get pedicures on Valentine's Day to treat ourselves. The place was busy but we were quickly seated and within a few minutes our nail technicians were seated and beginning. I got lucky and got a really great nail tech, my friend however, did not. She happened to get an older lady that I'm not sure knew the pedicure process? She stumbled around and often went back and did things twice? My pedicure was done and I sat in the "drying area" over 20 minutes while my friend was still having her toes done. I paid $35 for my pedicure and added the paraffin wax treatment. For Morehead City I feel its a little pricey considering I pay much less in Raleigh for the same quality of salon. I experienced great service, my friend did not. read more

So unhappy with my nails! My toe nails aren't painted on the tips, and it's uneven and just bad I'm general. Looks like 1 coat but definitely was not. My fingernails are uneven and shaped badly. Just disappointed and not what I want. read more

I've been going here since I was super young and live the staff. I just had a problem with the lady who did my nails, I asked for acrylic nails and she just put gel on them. I kept telling her her acrylic and she never listened. I let her do her thing only because I didn't wanna cause a sene. She also charged me for acrylics when she didn't give me what I asked for. read more

A girlfriend and I came for manicures and pedicures. It was my fist time there and I was very impressed by Sabrina! She took her time and made sure my nails looked perfect. She took a lot of time on them and continued to go back to various nails until she thought they were perfect. The salon is large and can accommodate many. They had many technicians available also. I also thought they were all so kind, and I heard many women talking who seemed like regulars, and they were happy! That's a good sign. :) I will be going back. read more

An okay place to have your nails done. I think they need to improve their cleanliness and sanitation. My nails and toenails look okay and overall I'm satisfied. There is some polish on my skin and I am used to my nail tech cleaning this sort of stuff up. The talk between technicians was unprofessional and a man working there rushed a child to pick her color. Not impressed but also not disappointed. read more

Went to Cobe with my boyfriend for a manicure and pedicure while on vacation. We both got the sugar scrub pedicure and I'm not sure what kind of manicure. Both were decent, $125 for the both of us. My only complaint was that we made an appointment before coming and still had to wait 20 minutes. Besides that I would recommend Cobe. read more

BEST PEDICURE and GEL NAIL experience EVER!!!! Thank you Allen!! You are the nail guru!!! Family is on vacation at Emerald Isle and my daughter and I were looking for a nice way to treat ourselves with a spa experience. We were seated right away and proceeded to have the BEST pedicures we've ever had. Very thorough, excellent care and beautiful paint job. Allen took such good care of my feet, I feel like I'll be walking on air for weeks! Wendy did my daughter's pedicure and it looks wonderful. Next, we both had gel manicures. No waiting, prompt service, clean stations, and really friendly chatter!! Again, extremely thorough job. Allen convinced me to switch from pink and white acrylics to gel. He was absolutely right. Feels natural and looks beautiful. Daughter had a great gel mani from Kenny. 5-star service all around. I would give this place 10 stars if I could!! Can't wait to come back to see Allen and the staff at Cobe nails!! read more

I paid $115 for manicure and pedicure, gel on hands and regular polish on my feet. 2 days later and my finger nails are already chipped. The other people in my party were charged other amounts and we all got the same services. This place has changed a lot and I do not think I will be returning. read more

I made the mistake of coming in on a very busy day. I put my name on the list and was surprised I only had to wait about 10-15 minutes to be placed in a pedi chair. I then sat in my pedi chair for 40 minutes. My water was cold by the time someone got to me, I had taken my feet out because I was getting pruny. My nail tech was very rushed, which I understand it was busy. But instead of soaking my nail polish off he drilled it and cut me. Then insisted I put my foot back in the water. When I denied he was slightly annoyed. He complained for my entire visit about how many people kept coming in the door. I understand that having a busy day is stressful and overwhelming, I just don't think that is what someone paying for a relaxing service wants to hear about for 30 minutes receiving their mani/pedi. I wanted to like this place because it is well cleaned and conveniently located, but I won't go back now. Also, my gel polish on my toes was not done well, very clumpy and had thick, sharp edges that I have filed on my own at home. read more

This is the best nail place I have ever been to. The people are nice and act like they know what they're doing. The last time I was there was around 3 weeks ago and I got Gel nails. They still haven't chipped! I love them so much. I will be going there from now on. read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Worst place I've ever been. Went with a friend and she showed them a picture of exactly what she wanted. The man did not do them right at all and she was unhappy with her acrylic nails. She asked her man nicely to take them off. He was extremely rude and yelled at her loud enough I could hear from the pedicure chairs. He then told her she still had to pay full price for the nails. When asked to speak to the manager, she was also rude and wouldn't even listen. read more

Went to salon to try out since just moved here. Was told it would be 20 minutes to wait for eyebrow wax. I waited and waited and no one came to take me to "Brow Bar". Finally I was told to go to bar and have a seat, which I did. I waited and waited but no one said hello. I was kinda glad that I was seated there and was able to look around the area. The table that held the accessories was filthy, unorganized and probably had not been cleaned in months. A tech came over with a client, still not acknowledging me, but I was able to watch her. Had not washed her hands nor wore gloves. She did not bring a sanitized bag of instruments, just picked up what was laying on the table. She dipped the same Qtip in the wax container several times, reusing it. The wax container was very dirty on the outside and obviously had not been cleaned in a long time. Even the wax looked gunky and old. I felt sick and walked out without anyone even speaking to me. Will never go back! read more
