I am visiting from LA and checked the reviews of this place. I am really disappointed! I had pedi and mani with two ladies.. At first, the sink was dirty so I asked for a new one to be cleaned and they weren't friendly! Second, I didn't like the shape of my nails she made them wide, not round as I wanted. And finally, I was supposed to have a massage at the end but both ignored me! However, the manager was nice and said sorry about that. read more

I was a regular at the chestnut hill location before moving to center city and didn't think it could get any better. This location is awesome, I highly recommend Linda, she has given me the best mani/pedi I've ever had! No doubt I will be a regular here now! read more

First time at the Spruce Street location. Previously had been visiting the Coco Blue salon in Chestnut Hill. Aside from being a little disappointed that they didn't stamp the back of the store card like CH location does, I had an overall good experience. I made an appointment in advance and was politely greeted upon arriving. My manicure was not rushed despite how busy they were, and the shoulder massage was a nice length. I would visit again. read more

Got my wedding nails done here. Everyone here is super friendly! Price is reasonable, and you even get a nice little mini massage while waiting for your nails to dry. Also complementary drinks when you walk in! read more

First time Autumn did my nails and it was great!! Second time turned me off. Gabby did an okay job but my gel polish literally started peeling a day after. Also the shape of my nails could of been more defined. No juice water nothing offered the second time and they raised their prices April 1st. The owner did not make me aware prior that gel polish is an extra 20 bucks which doubled from two weeks ago!! I walked out paying 55 for a basic fill and gel polish. For that price I could of went to an appointment only salon n left feeling catered with higher expectations. Just sad they raised their prices so suddenly bc I refuse to pay that for basic acrylics. read more

One of the best experiences that I have had in a nail salon. I was a walk in a few weeks ago on a Friday - talk about being busy! First of all, they are very friendly. The owner or the main guy in charge is pretty pleasant compared to any other nail salon I have been to. Of course that I am speaking about the average ones. Now, I do not get my nails done regularly because I am concerned about the harmful chemicals. Depending on what I have going on in my life, I treat myself to a mani and pedi. Salon is pretty cute and super clean. They offer drink and ask you many times to make sure. I noticed that they have a very decent selection of drinks like wine (red/white), water, juice, coffee and tea. They pour it right in front of you and they do not bring it from some corner. The reason why I took off one star is that the girl that I had was a little distracted. She would pay attention to every little movement in the salon. i.e. If the girls right next to me would talk about some weird topic, she was all ready to hear it out. I do not recall her name. She did a good job overall but I was in a rush and she knew that. Many times, I wanted to say: Girlie - can I get your attention to my nails pretty please?! They were nice to charge me less than the full amount they charge every client for both services. Not that I asked of it. However, I tipped based on the full amount I was going to pay. Give it a try. It's much better than any other salon, bright and clean. read more

I'm from Korea and the nail salons there are super detailed.. I wasn't impressed at the skill the employees here. The tools and skills were very low compared to what I'm used to. I don't recommend this place if you're super sensitive... read more

Coco Blue Spruce - Done by TINI - Nail Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Best nail salon in the city! I found the salon on yelp and made an appointment for a mani pedi for my wedding. From start to finish, the experience was perfect. I was offered a mimosa to drink while I sat in the pedicure chair. The nail techs actually tag teamed it with one doing my pedi and the other prepping my finger nails for the future gel polish. Next time I will probably ask for them to do one at a time so I can relax while drinking my mimosa, but since I was in a rush that day, it was just what I needed. The pedi included hot stones and wax on my heels. It was awesome. I can't remember the girls name who did my pedicure, but the mani was done by Karen. She was extremely friendly and personable and made me feel like I was talking to a friend, and not someone I had met 20 mins earlier. They added on $10 because I got a French manicure, which wasn't too bad. All in all it was $65 for gel mani, regular French pedi. The salon owner gave me a sample lotion to take with me, which was a nice bonus! The best part about it was its 2 weeks post gel mani and my nails are STILL looking great. I don't know how that's possible be cussed the longest gel mani I had prior to this from other salons lasted at max 5 days. Way to go Karen! I will definitely be back for all my nail pampering needs!! read more

Coco Blue Spruce - Day 8 wedding nails! Still perfect with no chips even after being in the pool and ocean on the honeymoon! - Nail Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

THE BEST! I get a gel mani and pedi with Ly every two weeks. Ly is a perfectionist and I always leave feeling refreshed, relaxed and with beautiful nails. I generally get a French mani and it easily lasts a week and a half. ( It would probably last longer but I work out a lot so my nails take a beating!) In the few instances when my nails chipped within a few days of a mani I've stopped by and Ly fixes it for me (for free!) They also have a rewards card which is nice, especially if you are a consistent customer like me. Tip: Make an appointment! They are popular and busy. read more

I have been to a lot of nail salons in my day and Coco Blue Spruce is without a doubt the best. It has a friendly, positive energy--and their manicures and pedicures are fantastic. The basic pedicure you get here is way more like a "spa version" at your typical mani/pedi joint. The massage is thorough, they do a wax treatment on your heel, and my paint often stays on for four weeks or more. The manicures are consistently good and they have a solid selection of gel colors. And you get a free light shoulder massage with every mani! I go to Maria for pedicures and Tina for manicures--both are super kind, efficient, and professional. I do recommend an appointment if you can swing it as they tend to get a bit busy in the evenings. I have no idea why anyone goes anywhere else in this city for nail treatments!! read more

I've only gone to this nail salon twice, and my last experience was definitely subpar- however, I am very impressed that the owner/manager called me personally himself more than once and gave me a full refund! That's really excellent, I honestly mean that because he was very apologetic for my negative experience, said he would talk to the appropriate employees involved and really handled a negative situation much better than some other fancy hair salons would have handled the situation, so for that, I upgraded my review to 3 stars. I had a great experience here once and the second time wasn't as good because I was rushed in and out, I left with wet toenails because they were closing. I also have discomfort from a toenail cut too short and from my callouses which were removed. It was also a bit awkward when the tech asked me to Venmo her a tip because they do not accept tips on cards. Unfortunately, these were negative experiences and I do hope that I am in less discomfort from the pedicure which I hoped to be relaxing. I have an appointment at the podiatrist tomorrow about my toes, and I'm frustrated because this is the second nail salon that I've had negative experiences with. I unfortunately did need to have an ingrown toenail removed at the podiatrist from my pedicure here which was very painful. To this salons credit, it may have been an ingrown nail from City Nails before coming here but coming here made it worse. I have also heard from my podiatrist that the cutting off of callouses is illegal! Both these nail salons do that. There is a higher risk for infection! The pedicure was nice, paraffin wax, although that does burn my skin, but the leg massage, hot towels, free beverage including wine was a nice touch, they have lots of glam mags, not sure if they still offer the free snacks. I was very relaxed for the most part except for the negative parts which I have described but I'm very pleased to have been refunded my amount of my pedicure in full. I think refunding and apologizing for a negative experience is excellent customer service, I think that more salons should mirror after this level of customer service, I don't know if I will return again after the negative experience but I do greatly appreciate the refund. Weird that they saved my card information to process the refund- ugh. I think next time I will try Lacquer Lounge or go back to some other nail salons that I really enjoyed. It's too bad because I would really like to keep patronizing this nail salon but I have left with an upsetting experience- again, thanks for the refund though! read more

Just finished up my second visit here I can confidently say that Coco Blue is great! I read review after review trying to find the best nail place in center city and I'm positive I found it. The first time I went in I got a mani-pedi and both women, Maria did my feet and Ly did my hands, did a fantastic job. Everyone was nice and I didn't feel rushed or unwelcome. I can be pretty awkward in social situations so I felt a little uneasy my first time there because I wasn't used to how things ran. But after I sat down, received my complimentary drink and chair massage, I relaxed. Maria spent a lot of time doing many wonderful things to my feet. I had the pedicure, a lotion leg massage, hot stone massage, and a heel wax dip - all the for price of the mani-pedi (which is a pretty reasonable $40!). Ly was very kind and cut and shaped my nails perfectly along with giving me a lotion hand massage and then back massage when I sat down in the hand dryer. This time when I went in all I got was a manicure but Ana was amazing as well. She did just as good of a job and her back massage at the drying chair had me considering coming in just for that next time. The entire place is clean, bright, relaxing, and super professional. All of their tools are new and kept in sealed packages and their hot towels are kept in some sort of steam chamber. Did I mention that their location is perfect too? It's just a 30-second walk out of the Walnut-Locust subway station. I don't treat myself to manicures often but this place makes it worth it. I'll definitely be back again! read more

I had a phenomenal pedicure here - would return, Maya was excellent. However, I would not return to get acrylic again. I was here less than 36 hours ago and my nail already broke off. I paid 51 dollars for these nails including tip and they already broke, really? Rushed and careless job, the manicurist, Ly, wasn't really into my suggestions of how I wanted my nails to look. Ultimately I will never return. Seemed like a bunch of regulars who only get gel nails. read more

Coco Blue Spruce - chipped after 36 hours - will not return. Did not receive any kind of cuticle trimming or nail bed shaping. Seriously displeased! - Nail Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This place is really cute not perfect for what I'm used too but for philly it's good. They haven't effed up yet if u know what I mean. You know that moment when you're like I'm not coming here any more? Yea so I'm down for this place for now until I'm able to go back to my regular spot. They have complimentary drinks as well! read more

Coco Blue Spruce - Nail Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Love this place! For 35 dollars I got the best pedicure, with a hot stone massage, hot towel, amazing calf and foot massage, and a back massage! The salon was very clean, and the staff were very nice! I highly recommend. read more

I walked in on a Monday afternoon for a pedicure and gel manicure. Complimentary wine, nice and clean. Linda is super sweet! Loved the hot stone on my leg/feet and the massage on my neck/back/shoulders. Very reasonably priced. If go here all the time if I lived closer! read more

This place is my new go to nail salon. I have now been three times and it gets better each time. It's best if you call ahead but they usually can accommodate you if you walk in without an appointment. The place is clean and the technicians are professional and very nice. A normal manicure is $15 (I think) and a gel is $30. The regular manicures usually make it easily through a week. They offer you a drink while you getting your nails done. They also have a frequent patron card. Definitely give it a try! read more

I went here a little over a week ago (11 days ago exactly) to get gels for a new job I was starting that Monday. Exactly a week after I got the gel mani it chipped, which is something I've never experienced before. Gel manicures usually last me between 2 and 3 weeks. I don't have a job that is rough on the hands nor do I get my nails/fingers wet often so there is no excuse for the paint chipping. If the price of the gel mani was cheaper I probably wouldn't complain but a gel mani and regular pedi cost me $60 (which is pricier than a lot of other spots in the city). On top of that, the nail tech was a little rough when pulling out my cuticles and I even started to bleed. Needless to say, I will not be going back. read more

Came here for the first time yesterday. When I booked the appointment, I requested the 1 hour reflexology pedicure and a regular manicure. I'm guessing it was written down in the book incorrectly, because Monica gave me about a 15 minute pedi. The only reason it was even that long was due to her getting up repeatedly in the middle to take care of other customers and talk to other employees. I was really excited about this pedi after working several long shifts in a row, so it was a bit disappointing. Then came the manicure which was super rushed, while cutting my cuticles she was way too rough and had two of my fingers bleeding. If they didn't have time to do what I requested I wish they would have just booked me for a different day when there was more availability. Monica however did not charge me for the 1 hour pedi I requested, just $40 which is their price for a standard mani/pedi. read more

Coco Blue Spruce provided a way that other salons could not. They offered a selection of drinks along with conversation throughout the appointment. There are massage chairs which you could chose different settings and the staff also massaged your feet very thoroughly along with your hands. They also made sure that every action they took pleaded the customer and engaged in conversation. My sister and I were very pleased with the experience overall. read more

Coco Blue Spruce - Gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Firstly, I am writing this ten days after my appointment and my manicure is still fully intact! (Regular manicure- not gel) I had a great experience at Coco Blue. They were flexible about appointment times, and they took me right on time. My nail tech was super friendly and warm, and she offered me a drink right away. She also gave me the WiFi password so I could do some work while I got a pedicure. After my pedicure was complete I got a manicure coupled with friendly conversation. I also had an eyebrow wax done which was average, but to be expected. Another nice thing they do is, if you need to get cash from their ATM they reimburse you for the fee as long as you pay for your services in cash. A regular mani/pedi is $40 there which is slightly more than I am used to spending, but after this experience I feel it was worth it. I will be back here! read more

Pedicures offer complimentary wine and massages. Book in advance... gets pretty crowded.

I must say the salon has a wonderful friendly vibe, free drink and top off the service with a shoulder massage. I gave one star because I don't not like the management. The lady in the front desk (Jane) rubbed me the wrong way as I was paying for my bill. My gel nails chipped in less than a week. Polish was applied very sloppy. I would go back but not if the manager was there. read more

The basic pedicure includes a hot stone massage and paraffin wax treatment, which is above what most places will provide, and at $30 is a very reasonable price. With complimentary beverages, the service is very courteous. Only minor complaint is that the selection of polishes was a little limited. read more

My daughter and I visited Coco Blue Spruce yesterday. We had a wonderful experience. Many extras included in basic services. Very professional, polite and clean environment. read more

My nail technician, Sunday, was professional, down-to-earth, knowledgable, and extremely talented. She recommended the perfect polish color for me, offered me a refreshment during my manicure (I chose a Corona), and gave me a satisfying chair massage. One of the most memorable things about Sunday is she immediately recognized how short and flat my nail beds were so she shaped my tips and acrylic fill a certain way to prevent lifting in between fills-a problem I've always had. I never realized that was the issue so I am thrilled to have found a technician who is dedicated and knowledgable enough to provide the best custom service possible for her clients. She also helped me picked a polish color that complimented my skin tone and gave me a natural-looking full acrylic set which is what I was going for. I will definitely return and make an appointment with Sunday. I can't wait to get one of her reflexology pedicures! She is da bomb :) read more

Just tried it for my first time today and this is it, my new nail spot. I'm always gonna go get my nails done here. They were super sweet and they did a great job! They offered me something to drink as soon as I walked back. It was my first time getting gel nails but I love them already! read more

Coco Blue Spruce - Gel nails 3 - Nail Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

See all

I work at EWC and my clients always rave about how great this place is. Finally decided to give them a try and had a wonderful experience. Autumn did my refill and it was honestly the best set I've gotten in a while. The coffin shape was PERFECT, there were no lumps and grooves on the bed of the nail... I'm VERY picky when it comes to my nails and she exceeded each and everyone of my expectations. Definitely coming back to see her! Not to mention, I was in an extreme rush and she was able to do such a great job in less than an hour. It was all appreciated! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! read more

the best salon in philly by far! wont go anywhere else now; i recommend booking an apt rather than walk-in because they stay pretty busy usually read more

10/10 recommend. I'm new to the city and needed a pedi ASAP. Saw coco blue on yelp and decided to walk up on a Saturday morning to try it out. I got here just when they opened at 9am (didn't have an appointment) but they took me right away. They offer you complimentary drinks (water, soda, mimosas, etc.) Pedicure was $30, and they used the hot stones & hot towels and she also wrapped my heel in this plastic wrap which I've never had done before. After the pedicure they ask if you want a quick shoulder massage too which is also complimentary. Reasonably priced, staff was nice, clean salon. I've found my new spot! read more

I was in town for a conference and decided to get a mani-pedi. I selected this place because it was nearby and had good reviews. I was not disappointed! The place was very clean, everyone was incredibly friendly and my tech did a great job with my nails. I paid just $60 for a gel manicure with a regular pedicure. read more

First time getting a manicure. They treated me amazing, what more can I say. They were very friendly and provided excellent service. The mani was quick. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Probably the best place to get your nails done at a reasonable price! Staff extremely helpful with helping me find the right color. Only dislike the length, tad bit long but other that ..... read more

Exceptional service and absolutely love how my nails turned out! Lina started my pedicure by serving me a mimosa. She was extremely attentive to my preferences for nail shape, cuticle cutting, and massage strength. She also helped me to pick out a different color for my hands, since I wanted a more classic red (as opposed to the hot red painted on my toenails). I had a wonderful time getting to know Lina as she worked on my nails. Wonderful service! The manager was also very kind and offered top-notch service. Overall, had a wonderful and relaxing experience, and was satisfied with my nails. I only wish they had a bit more variety in the gel OPI colors. read more

So my manicure turned out okay. However, the woman doing my nails cut my index finger pretty badly, it started bleeding and stinging and she didn't even apologize. Very disappointed. read more

First time here and definitely won't be my last. The space is very clean, staff is courteous and professional. Complimentary beverages. $30 mani pedi through February. I don't need to tell you much more to sell you on a nail salon! Go check it out! read more

Coco Blue Spruce - Nail Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Coco Blue is my new favorite nail salon in Philly. They accept walk-ins or appointments; however, I suggest that you come a little bit early for your appointment as sometimes walk-ins could sneak ahead of you. Additionally, you can sign-up for a points card and eventually earn a free manicure. Another nice feature is the complimentary beverage (wine, mimosas, coffee, tea, etc.) Pricing is pretty standard compared to other Center City salons. I usually just get gel manicures and regular pedicures, but I did get an acrylic fill once and they were pretty good. It is difficult to find a place in Center City that do acrylics well because usually there is only one or two technicians that know how. The pedicures are wonderful because they include a hot stone massage for your feet and calves. read more

Monica did not greet me with a smile, and did not ask if I wanted something to drink like I saw other customers being offered. She kept huffing as she took off my gel polish - a tedious process, I understand, but still not out of the norm these days. As she buffed my nails, she got distracted and ended up buffing the skin of my finger for too long, which began to bleed. I'm truly not exaggerating... She kept telling me to put my hands in an uncomfortable position, and to relax... I did my best. I opted for just a clear coat at this point; I wanted to get out of there. Her massage at the end hurt more than it relaxed me... and then I was charged $45. read more
