Tried this salon for the first time. I was a walk in and they were able to take me in right away -…read moreSunday afternoon. Really clean and spacious. Everyone was very friendly. I got a regular mani/ pedi. The young girl was nice but she rushed through the pedi, didn't scrape all the dead skin. I had to come home and use my electric pedi machine. Total was $60. Which I think is a bit much considering I pay $45 for both near my house and they do a deep clean. Anyway glad I tried it but not for me.

I've been going to Hello Nail Bar for a little over a year. I've always had great service, until…read morethis last visit. My nail tech left, so I tried other techs- no one in particular, just whoever was available. Part of my last service was a gel manicure with cat eye polish. I knew before I she was finished that the polish would look grown out within the week because she didn't get close enough to the cuticle. I told her to get closer to the cuticle; she slapped my hand, giggled and continued the exact same way. Now, a week later, it looks like I'm two weeks overdue for a manicure. My suggestion is to look at the progress after the first nail and stand firm on a redo. I don't want to mention the person because I should have insisted that she fix them before I left the salon.

I immediately walked I out I refuse to pay for a service from nasty, and rude businesses. Seems they have a lot of poor reviews I will be reporting them.

Update: Tiffany, one of the managers, was super kind and gave me a call after my initial manicure…read more She offered a partial refund, which I was happy to accept as opposed to a full refund, as the work was still done and the resulting nails were fine. She also worked with another manager at the store and was able to set up my next appointment with a specific tech - I believe it was Emily. Tiffany was very communicative via both text and DM on there Instagram account, which I used to schedule my next appointment. She was also there when I arrived for that appointment to ensure things went smoothly. Emily was very attentive during my service, and ultimately I was happy with this set. I did SNS and Emily finished with a gel top coat. Since I prefer to not have gel that is cured by UV, I may not return regularly. However, this salon has a huge selection of not only regular colors, but specialty colors as well, such as cat eye and jelly polishes. Jelly polishes are definitely on my list to try in the future, so I'll likely be back for that. I very much appreciate the team's outreach and support after my last review, and it's clear that they care greatly for the service they can provide their customers.

Okay, first things first... the parking situation is dire. I wish one of the reviews mentioned…read moreparking, because the situation is in need of help. No parking in front of the nail shop and no validated parking. If you live in the building above it's great! If you're a college student and can walk it's also great! If you're not in one of those two categories... buena suerte. The nail shop itself is very clean and has the cool neon signs that are all the rage. The music consists of the top hits. During my visit I heard several Beyoncé songs. They also give you wine/sparkling wine to drink. So the vibes are all there. I got a pedicure and it was okay. I wasn't overly impressed. All things considered, it's cool but I don't see myself spinning the block (coming back).

The male nail tech seems disgruntled and is low vibrational. The last 3 times he did my nails they either chipped, smudged or 1 nail completed fell off. It's a shame because he has potential to be an excellent nail tech if he can put his ego to the side and learn how to serve his clients. After giving me a new nail set at my last fill in appointment he told me my next appointment will be a new set: I told him no way. They seem to view their clients as walking ATMs--it's an uncomfortable feeling: They constantly badger you to do new sets, gel mani-pedis or expensive "spa" pedicures even after you've told them specifically the kind of services you want/prefer--it's more "them" focused than client focused. Btw,I was never thanked for my $20-$25 tips --ever. This last appointment took the cake--nail tech dude nicked my skin with his super sharp nail tool and blamed MY skin for "growing too close to the nail". This happened after leaving me under the fan for 15 minutes while he enjoyed a phone conversation right in front of me--so I knew it was because he wasn't paying attention--he seems resentful of his customers and unhappy to do this kind of work. When I arrived for my appointment (no such thing really because they treat everyone as a walk-in) he and a young girl didn't move to seat me, I had to ask them if they were working today in order to mobilize them--mind you I was the only customer. That said, I won't be back. I'm big on customer service and positive energy and I pay well for it, but it's not to be found there.

Y'all... I thought I had found my new nail shop at The Nail Shop…read more The environment is exactly my vibe--muted gray tones, minimalist decor, subway tiles, modern finishes, soft music playing in the background, and plenty of parking right out front. The place is clean, relaxing, and has an impressive selection of colors. The massage chairs were so comfortable I was literally drifting off to sleep. The prices were also cheaper than other salons I've visited for the exact same services, and it wasn't overcrowded. Walking in, I was ready to give this place 5 stars. Then the service happened. I arrived at 12:30 PM and didn't leave until 4:30 PM. FOUR HOURS. For a pedicure, nail removal, full-set of new Gel-X nails (no designs and nothing fancy). I understand Gel-X removal can take some time, but my pedicure alone should not have taken over 2.5 hours. The first technician was fine until it came time to paint my toenails. The polish application was honestly terrible. My toes looked like little stubs. Of course I spoke up, and thankfully I requested Pin, who had excellent Yelp reviews. She ended up fixing the work and did a much better job. There were also some organizational issues. I wanted my eyebrows waxed, but apparently someone forgot to plug in the wax machine, so the wax was still cold and hardened. How does that happen? Another thing: if you're going to keep clients for four hours, please offer something. Water, snacks, crackers--anything! I was absolutely hangry by the end of my appointment. The only reason I was finally offered water was because I was coughing from a cold, and that was toward the very end of my service. Overall, the salon itself is beautiful and relaxing, but the actual service experience didn't match the aesthetic. If you decide to visit, I'd strongly recommend booking with Pin or the owner. They seem to be the ones ensuring the work is done correctly. Would I come back? Maybe. The potential is definitely there, but they need to tighten up the service side of things.

Parking is free up to 12 hours, you can use the amenities of the Hotel; pool, gym, and you can use the relaxation area in the Spa. You could totally be here for 8 hours.

I hate writing this because I've been coming here for years -- they know me by name -- but this…read moreexperience was bad enough that I won't be back. I came in for my recurring appointment and immediately felt rushed, like the goal was to get me out of the chair as fast as possible. When the service was "done," there was still gel clearly left on my nails (cloudy patches, uneven texture), and my natural nails were over-filed and thinned instead of properly soaked and removed. When I calmly pointed this out, the nail tech became defensive and rude, which honestly caught me off guard. I asked for the manager, and he didn't offer to fix anything -- no redo, no correction, no accountability. I still paid and left, but I had to go to another salon the same day to fix my nails. Paying twice to undo someone else's rushed work is not okay. If you care about nail health, not being rushed or talked down to, and actually getting the service you pay for, I'd proceed with caution. Being a regular didn't matter here, and that's the most disappointing part.
