This is a new nail salon that opened up in the shopping center where Toys R Us used to be and where REI currently is located. Because it recently opened up, they were offering 15% discount (10% when I finally made it to the shop). The salon is clean and has very nice and relaxing ambiance and the staff seemed friendly. But that's where the positive ends... I told them I wanted to get a pedicure and try SNS dip nails for the first time. I told them I wanted my hands and feet colors to match and I told them that I wanted my hand nail shape to be the same as how it was when I came in. While getting my pedicure, the technician made my big toe bleed (i think the lighting in the pedicure area could be brighter), but yet she kept digging at it saying I have in grown nails (I did not or else I would have felt it). After getting my toes painted, she tells me that they don't have matching color for my hands so I had to pick out a similar color. She never even did anything with my cuticles, didn't touch it AT ALL. I actually sat at my chair thinking she'll eventually touch up my cuticles, but she's like, "You're all done". My nail shape is all messed up, uneven and slanted. After almost a week of getting my nails done, I have big cuticle area gap on my hand nails due to my cuticles not being trimmed. My big toe has in-grown nails and after looking at my toe nails closely, there's corner toe nail piece that's just hanging because the technician didn't trim it all the way and she just painted over the hanging nails. I wouldn't come here again. My search continues... read more

Again, I had another fantastic experience at Coco. This time I walked in without an appointment because the nails I had gotten done last week began to chip. I was warmly welcomed yet again and the lady's gave me a whole new set of beautiful nails free of charge and super fast. They look beautiful and I'm super happy with Coco yet again. read more

Coco Nail Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I got gel nails and they chipped the day I got them and after week are half off. I wouldn't go back by to get them fixed because another customer did that and she was berated the entire time she was there. It also seemed a bit pricey for what I asked for and ended up with. read more

I love HELEN!!!!!!!! She is the absolute greatest nail tech and super friendly!

Sophie does such a fabulous job on my gel manicure that I'm a repeat customer. I often wear dark colors and her attention detail is impeccable. I will also note that this salon has a great variety of colors and nail polish lines. They always have the seasonal OPI colors for OPI fanatics like myself. read more

This place is just so great from the service, relaxing atmosphere and the technique.I got the milk and honey pedicure and ombre dipping powder nail and I am definitely satisfied . I will come back next time. Btw: I like the logo of the nailshop. It looks so nice and luxury. read more

Coco Nail Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

This salon is probably one of the nicest in the area. Its brand new and comes with all the bells and whistles. I was almost overwhelmed by their immaculate selection of nail polish! I came in for a pedicure and gel manicure. Overall, I was pleased. The services were very relaxing and my nail tech was welcoming and kind. She and I chatted back and forth quite a bit which I enjoyed. My only concern was that she wasn't consistent with applying the polish. When I'm paying $30 for a gel manicure, it shouldn't look like I painted my nails myself. She did a decent job, but I'd like to try another tech when I return. read more

Coco Nail Bar - Gel mani. Pretty pleased overall. - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Usually when I come here the service is great. Today I came in to get a nail fixed. First, I was told everyone is busy. I said I didn't mind, I would wait. Then they said it would be 30 minutes. Fine, I'll wait. My birthday is tomorrow and I need my nail fixed. Then they asked me to come back tomorrow. I let them know that I could not because it's my birthday. Then after 20 min some one came to start my nail. She stopped because she couldn't tell what color it was. I said I will tell you. She says she's too busy and walks off. 10 minutes later says she can fix it for $5. Ridiculous! I'm writing this in my car and I see the same lady leave for the day. I will not ever come back, my husband and all of my friends will never come here again. I had just gotten my nails done a few days ago. read more

Beautiful surroundings.. clean and luxurious... This is where you bring your sister or BFF to hang out and be pampered (private spaces available for girl time!)... complimentary beverages and top of the line products and services. The perfect mini vacation when you have a window during the day! Kat J "nailed" it with her review! I don't understand why some ladies go into a salon and end up leaving unhappy... why not say something right then and leave a satisfied customer? Leslie & Mimi would do anything to make and keep their clients happy. We've been clients for years and will follow them anywhere! read more

Came in as a walk in gel mani. I was seated and told to pick out a color, and then I was picked up. Ivy, who is lovely, did my nails with detail. I'm usually really picky on people with cuticle work since I've had scary experiences where I've been injured but she did a wonderful job. I think I'm going to continue coming back but I'm just wondering what their pedicure set up is like. I'm hesitant about pedicures because some places reuse the same pumice stone on each person and I would prefer a place that uses the one time use buffers. read more

I was referred to this shop by my daughter. Best service ever. I watched how well they clean their equipment and that did it for me. Their customer service is out of this world. Your feet and hand will leave very happy. Will definitely be back. read more

Coco Nail Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I went in this salon hoping to make this place my back up salon when I cannot get into my regular nail salon. DID NOT HAPPEN!!! The young man greeted me at the entrance was the same man who was going to service my nails. I went in for a gel manicure. I asked him about how long had he been doing nails & he stated 3 years. Ok! He wrapped nails with cotton & foil... so far so good. After about 10-12 mins, he came to remove the foil wraps. He wrapped my left hand 1st but decided to start with my right hand. Bad idea! The right hand had not processed long enough....however I let it go... we move on. He takes the tool to push my cuticles back out of the drawer & sprays it with alcohol, wipes it with a paper towel, pushes my cuticles back. THEEEENNNN he takes the cuticle cutter out of the drawer, NOT OUT OF A STERILE PACKING!! Just out of drawer, like the CC was laying in there like a pencil!! He attempted to reach for my hand & I pulled back! I said "Are you going to clean that?! He said "it is clean" I said "You just pulled it out of the drawer & it was not in a sterile pack or in barbicide!" He then jumps up says, "I'm gonna get someone else to do you!" I said "Perfect!" But then I decided to pass on spending my hard earned money at this nail salon!! I did pay him for removing the gel polish but I refused to give him a tip for being so unprofessional & rude. I even said to him "Let me get this straight, you are upset because I questioned you about the cleanness of your tools... me? The customer?!" I will never go back to this nail salon & I would not recommend it to anyone! They do not take their customers' safety & hygiene seriously! Just nasty as hell!!! AVOID COCO NAIL BAR IN COLUMBIA, MD!!! read more

Good service! I'm happy with my pedicure! They usually do a good job. Professional and nice decor.

The place is great! I've gone to this place 4x, and all of the time I had great experiences. The place is clean, they provide snacks and beverages. The employees are friendly and polite. The best things I like about the place are Ivy and the fact that the place does not smell like cancer causing chemicals. Ivy is very patient and accommodating. I changed my mind about my nail polish color when my toes were already painted on two visits, and she cheerfully change them. Another thing I like about her is she doesn't keep selling services to me or keep trying to make small talk with me. read more

The staff at the nail bar are very professional and welcoming. I go a mani and pedi both were phenomenal. I can't wait to go back! read more

I would give no stars if possible. They are very rude and condescending, and have no set price for any service. I've come here on several occasions hoping the next time will be better and am disappointed by the service both times coming here. They don't even do a good job for the price they charge. Never again read more

I LOVE this place! I've been to a lot of nail salons over the years but this is my new home! This salon looks like a high end spa with the convenience and pricing of a nail salon. It's beautifully designed and has the perfect lighting to give you a very relaxing experience. They have private rooms for small groups/ parties and rooms for massages, facials and body waxing. Mimi, is one of the owners and is so personable and accommodating. She has such a warm, beautiful spirit that makes it easy to support her business. Oh yeah, my mani and pedi were great too! I'm telling all my friends and family to come here. Tip: because the salon just opened they don't have a ton a employees yet so it's best to book an appointment. read more

Went to Coco Nail Bar and have to say i had the most absolute amazing and relaxing experience. For Christmas my husband purchased a gift card. Best Christmas gift. Treated myself to the Day of Beauty spa package which included manicure and spa pedicure followed by 1/2 Swedish massage and Mini Facial. I felt so cleansed and fresh. Mr. Mal Le did an awesome job on my toes and nails. He never rushed. Very patient.. he did a very detailed job. Ms. Ivy, completed my facial and massage. She was heartwarming and provided a calming experience. Very relaxing. Not rough, it was the perrfect massage ever. I highly recommend for a perfect client experience. Definitely will be returning! read more

This spot is over priced for no good reason - $17.00 for a manicure and its nothing special they do. Used some type of oil nails were dripping and became sticky read more

ATTENTION: All My Gal-pals in Columbia!! Today I found a new nail salon (actually, it's been open for eight months, but I never noticed it), and had the best time! There is lovely, quite piano music with an underlying track of ocean waves--no blaring TV's with CNN blasting the entire time! They have BASKETS of colors that are dual normal polish and gel--no having to find two colors if you want to be matchy-matchy. I love wild colors, and having some of the samples in rainbow order really helps you choose the right color! And you get to look through the baskets as you relax in the foot bath. No walls to stand around, worrying about dropping a bottle and breaking it. Though you can look at the walls of color, if you like. They also have a free beverage menu that includes red and white wine and even mimosas, and baskets of candies and snacks. Fresh flowers, a very nice/light sent of incense and candles that isn't overwhelming. The hours are awesome: 10 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. every day except Sundays 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. They even have 2-chair rooms and 4-chair rooms that you can reserve if you want to have private pedicure parties! Check it out! Tell them Jan sent you. (I had Laura. Vicky is also awesome!!) read more

I'm so annoyed. Not coming back. First I made an appointment for Kim. They asked for my phone number which I provided . I arrived today announced that I had an appointment with Kim. They then tell me she quit. Well why didn't they call me and give me the option of someone else if my choice not the next available. No apology, no nothing. One would think that a business that needs repeat business to survive, would make sure they ask your name and give theirs. Oh well, not going back. read more

This place just opened up, and I decided to give a try. The salon itself is very nice...clean and relaxing. The staff I do not think is trained very well. I got a pedicure and a gel manicure. The nail polish on my feet looks like it was applied by a 5 year old. It's lumpy and inconsistent. My gel manicure has already chipped and it's day #2. The point of a gel manicure is that it won't chip! I could have saved my money and gotten a regular manicure if I wanted it to be chipped on day 2. If the staff was trained better I would come back but I was disappointed read more

I went for a pedicure and was impressed with the extensive list of options. I got the Organic pedicure with a lavender scrub for $45. It is a really nice place with beautiful ambience, but I would echo the other reviewer who said it seemed like the staff may not be experienced. The pain is already chipping 4 days later, and I now have two ingrown toenails! read more

Negative stars. Sitting in my car furious. I was the first person in the nail bar today but they were still too busy to pay attention to my simple requests. I asked for colors I had pictures of, they didn't have time to help me find, they simply told me they didn't have the colors. I tried to find but was QUICKLY losing my spot in line for an available tech. I finally settled on something close and quickly realized it wasn't close at all. Asked her to please find a closer color. She dropped off some samples and left. After taking care of some other customers she told me they just didn't have the colors. In the meantime, people with appointments were up in arms because they were unable to be seen at their appointment times. There were a LOT of customer issues all happening at once. In the end I paid $80 for nails in colors that I absolutely DIDN'T WANT. Getting my nails done are only a special treat I allow myself for special occasions, in this case a LONG anticipated weekend getaway. I should have protested. The colors I wanted, as it turns out, are the new fall OPI colors, right at the register. I am Genuinely going to a different nail salon now to redo. This was a nightmare wrapped in a disaster. read more

Coco Nail Bar - So you can see the ridiculous attempt at trying to match my colors - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I just loves to the area and was looking for a new salon and this was my first stop. I will not be back. They kept handing me off to different techs. They had started to soak off my gel only on one hand. Sat me down for a pedicure with one hand still with gel and the other not. Then the male tech kept hurting me when trying to file my toe nails. They finally realized my nails needed to finish soaking. At the end I didn't have time to get my nails done only soaked off because they were all over the place. read more

I came here to get my nails done because I saw there was a new nail place by my job. I thought it would be perfect if I could find a nail place by my job so i could come on my lunch break from now on but I will not be back. I love the ambiance and how clean the place looks but it seems like the nail techs ability to do modern styles (i just got coffin shape with gel polish, no designs or anything too fancy) is just not there. Two people had to do my nails in order to get close to the coffin shape and the paint job is all around sloppy (or maybe just rushed). She also did not remove extra skin around the cuticles so my fill in looks like I got them done a week ago. The manager did offer me the chance to come back and get them fixed but ill just wait until Vickie is available at Bang N Jen up the street because I would rather not waste another 1 hr and 15 mins with mediocre results again. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because the technicians/manager was nice but just not good at nails. After reading other reviews, I am changing this back to 1 star because apparently what I experienced seems to be the norm there. Avoid this place if you want anything other than square sloppy painted nails. read more

I have used this salon many times, however, I moved a few months ago and my recent trip back was highly disappointing. I will not be going back. I got my nails done in dipping powder on June 30. During my manicure the manager, Mimi, spoke with the young woman who was doing my nails numerous times about the way she needed to be doing them so the looked good, she even had the young woman take off the top coat and reapply because it looked awful. After a failed reapplication I asked for the gel top coat I usually get on top of dipping powder be applied, as I like the way it looks and after an hour and a half manicure I was ready to be done. Within 24 hours the top coat came off almost all of my nails, starting with minor chipping along the top edge progressing to full flake off while washing my hair. I was able to make it back to the salon on July 4 and Mimi buffed my nails throughly and had the original young woman apply fresh gel top coat. Needless to say, it is now June 11 and half of one nail has completely broken off, another is cracked at the top, at least 3 are separating off my nail, and 4 are missing top coat. I paid $50 for the service, because I had nails removed (which costs $5), and it is supposed to last multiple weeks! These nails have made it less than 7 days (I restarted my count after they were buffed and top coated reapplies). While I appreciate the spa like atmosphere and have nothing but wonderful things to say about the pedicures the product they are using for finger nails (specifically dipping powder and gel) seem to be lacking quality and definitely not worth the time or money spent here. read more

I really wanted to like this salon and gave it 2 chances, but I will not go back. 1st time I went I got a powder manicure, the shape ended up looking like some chiclets on my nails, some were bigger in size than others, cuticles looked dry not like i had just gotten a manicure. Went back 1/23/21 daughter made an appointment for us both, we were seated pretty much right away and started with the pedicure, my male tech started immediately so I really didn't get any soak time, I got the basic pedicure and I must say it was less than basic, I noticed where the gel polish pooled at my nail bed and was not smoothed out correctly so there is a dip you can clearly see, they finally "saw it" and offered to redo it but I said no, its fine. while getting my pedicure my nails should have been soaking in the gloves so once my pedicure was done they could start on the manicure with acrylic/overlay. This did not happen, my daughter finished her pedicure and went straight to her manicure, meanwhile I am just sitting there toes done manicure not started waiting, they switched my tech because he didn't speak English which I'm not sure why that mattered if they could relay to him what I wanted. Ok so new tech, I finally sit down with her, for some reason she couldn't do it, they are talking to each other and not to me, I finally decide you know what just soak them get the powder off and throw some clear polish on I didn't even want that but didn't want my nails to break since I couldn't get the acrylic, my daughter is done and gone by this point (she had a great experience) her nail tech takes over to finish getting the powder off. Time to pay the bill, Basic manicure, $30, Gel polish $20, ok, soak off $5, $10 fee for upgrade service...UPGRADE really what does that even mean!! Three hours there only got a subpar basic pedicure and soak off $65 and a bunch of apologies for taking so long, other things happened but this is the jist of it. Very disappointed because it is so close to my home and it is a relaxing setting, just VERY poor customer service, its unfortunate. read more

I walked in to the salon on a Saturday afternoon and was seen immediately. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was relaxing and the decoration was very high end. My technician was very welcoming, talkative and gentle with my manicure. I brought in a picture and she made my nails look exactly like it! I would definitely recommend to friends and family and will be coming again. read more

They even have private rooms upon request which are great for a mother-daughter or girlfriends spa date. Reasonable pricing, very clean and well maintained bathroom. Best salon in the area! read more

This place is awful. Ladies, I recommend a hard pass. I have gone here two times. Same bad experience. I wanted to give it a try and said maybe the first visit was just a bad day... nope! Same awful service. Even though I had an appointment, I had to wait 40 minutes to be seen by Mimi cause she was the only one that could do designs??! But I waited cause I wanted to be patient and understanding. When she finally got to my nails she stoping so frequently to run the shop! Another customer had a bad nail job that she had to stop doing my nailed to fix hers! Ugh! Then she was answering the phone and casing out the registers! It was ridiculous! I was there for three hours and my nails look like crap! She did not file and drill it down so it could look natural.. And the nail and powder is stuck to the insides of my cuticles so they hurt! The nails look bulky! I'm going back today for her to fix this horrible job!! I better not get any push back or I will no longer be patient!! Oh did I mention I did not even get the design I was waiting for?? She tried to put on these cheap decals/ stickers and it looked like my 8 year old did my nails! I told her to take it off immediately! There was no way I was paying extra for freaking nail stickers I could do myself! This place is not work the money at all! Hard pass!!! read more

Service is wonderful. Clean. Just an intimate setting for pedicures. Competitively priced.
