I've had mostly pleasant experiences at this salon in the past, but my most recent visit with the owner was unfortunately my worst. Her customer service and professionalism left a lot to be desired. I felt she was dismissive and lacked the warmth and attention to detail I had experienced from other technicians there. The gel manicure itself was also disappointing. In my past experiences, my gel manicures have lasted for weeks, but this one did not hold up as expected and the overall application seemed rushed and less careful. What stood out to me was an interaction during the appointment when a nail became smudged. Another technician initially suggested redoing it properly, but the owner stepped in and insisted that only the affected area be fixed. The other technician's reaction suggested that this may not have been the salon's usual standard of service. I understand that everyone can have an off day, but this experience felt noticeably different from the level of quality and care I had previously received. read more

I came in because a friend recommended this place. I was greeted right away, everyone was super nice and friendly. The place was clean. I didn't schedule an appointment and came in as a walk in. I needed a builder gel fill in. I was helped right away and my nail tech was super nice. Loved how my nails turned out. I will definitely be coming back. The prices weren't outrageous. I might've found my go to nail spot!! read more

I'm really glad I tried Color Up Nail Bar! They are newly renovated with new owners and the place is so clean, bright, comfortable and friendly. The staff all take time to welcome you and are very attentive to doing your nails. I've been to salons that don't say anything when you walk in or feel like you are rushed through. Color Up has the best vibe and I love my nails. They even offer complimentary beverages. The prices are also great and I will definitely make this my go to nail salon. read more

My 2 young daughters and I had a wonderful experience at Color Up! The staff is warm and welcoming and the pedicures are top notch. I'm loving this place under the new ownership and they renovated it beautifully. They made us feel very special and I will be back. read more

I came here today for the first time in hopes of getting just a simple gel color change. I called to ask about the pricing for this service & to see if they had availability for me to come within the next few minutes. They said they had an appointment later but I could come now if I wanted. I came and my nail salon experience was ok at first, but then the woman began filing off the gel off my nails too quickly. She occasionally filed my skin a few times ..ouch! She also didn't get off all of the old polish before beginning to paint my nails with the new color. Once she began painting them, she rushed and dropped the nail polish brush on my fingers & didn't even take a moment to wipe off her mistake. When she filed my nails. She also didn't take the time to make sure the filing was even. Some of my nails have bits of hardened nail polish under them & others didn't. Lastly when it was time to get up and pay, I (intentionally) stood up and began trying to scratch the nail polish off my finger as the woman headed to the register. She saw me standing there & came back and tried to wipe it off only to say "it'll come off later." Should you decide to come here, maybe make an appointment and make sure they take their time ...otherwise you'd be in for a bitter disappointment. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I use to go here and I forgot why I stopped. I went 4/30/24 after work. They charged me $190 for sloppy work. I asked for a break down $25 for gel polish, $25 for design, $55for gel nails & $15 for long nails. I got a pedicure #3 $50 & $25 for gel polish. Don't go here if you want to relax or want quality work. read more

I will never go here again. My daughter and I went. She got dip manicure and I had gel. The tech did not do her cuticles at all. The dip chipped in several places the next day! I asked to have my nails trimmed. The male tech cut them to the fingertips. My fingers hurt they are so short. Who would ever go for a manicure to have their nails chopped completely off? read more

I should have read the reviews before coming here. It is close to home so I just walked in without an appointment a week ago today. Kim did my manicure and Vinnie did my pedicure. My manicure was rushed and I felt like I was an inconvenience. Filing off my previous polish as a prep, Kim filed my cuticles on several fingers. Ouch! 2 of them bled. I get gel manicures and expect them to last at least 2 weeks. The ends of my nails are already showing signs that I need them to be redone. My pedicure was somewhat better and Vinnie took his time. However, he also filed my cuticles and a couple of them were left raw and bleeding. Skip this salon and spend your time and money we elsewhere. read more

Love this nail salon especially for pedicure. Very relaxing atmosphere and the quality of the pedicure consistently great. I never feel rushed. They do a thorough job with trimming nails and cuticle clean up. Great job of ensuring feet are left soft and smooth, all finished with a relaxing massage. The salon is clean and well cared for. Great customer service, very friendly. read more

I've been going to this place for a long, long time and I continually receive the best service and best experience! My nails always look phenomenal and I have such a fun time. Everyone is extremely kind and my nails speak for themselves. They have a wide selection of beautiful colors and I've always received the exact shape and length I've requested for my acrylics. The place is super clean and nice, I felt very safe even during COVID. Prices are fair for this area and service, overall definitely my favorite place in Raleigh for my nails. read more

Severely disappointed. Rushed to my chair, told to pick my color while she was working on my nails, skin was cut with tools & paint job has seen better days. Dust from filing, painted in with nail polish. I was a total inconvenience. She conversed with her co workers, but not the paying customer in front of her. Literally only spoke to me when I asked how her day was. She laughed and asked if I wanted a drink. I was uncomfortable. I work in customer service so I know how crucial reviews are for future clients, but this place deserves a solid 1 or 2 stars. read more

Great place, very clean and family run. I've been getting my nails and toes done here for years and always a great job.

Best pedicure massage ever. He really took his time and did a great job. Amazing. Not rushed. Polish wasn't perfect, but they did touch it up. read more

LCN nails is my go-to local spot for getting gel manicures and pedicures. They always do a thorough job, have a great color selection, and are very friendly. They remember me, and my mom who comes with me to get mani-pedis whenever she comes to visit. Great selection of pedicure options, go for the hot stone pedicure! read more

Great service . I will come back for next time. I am happy with my new nails now! I love LCN Nail Spa

I stopped by to get my nails done here because I had a doctors appointment next door shortly after. I went here for the location convenience. The place is clean and well-kept and the staff is friendly when you first walk in. I got a full set of acrylics and wanted them fairly short. First of all the woman doing my nails literally did not say a word to me the entire time. Second, she cut my nails super short without asking me if it was a good length. By the time they were cut it was totally too late. The acrylic on top is uneven and not smooth/leveled. She rushed through my nails and also cut my finger so I've got to watch out for infection now. I told a friend what happened and they cut her finger open as well when she got hers done. I really hate giving negative reviews because I'm genuinely a nice person but I am sadly leaving two stars. The positives are a clean environment as well as good or prices. read more

First pedicure since reopening. Very clean and shield-guards in place for everyone's protection. Relaxing experience and my toes look great. Will definitely return! read more

Very nice interior, customer service was nice also, however prices are too much. Maybe because of the area it's higher but I can get the same work done in Durham for $7-8 cheaper. Kim, the manager, was very friendly and kept the conversation going while working. Her work was very fast and smooth. read more

I love this nail salon. It's a lovely local shop owned by wife-husband team. No pushy upselling just good old fashioned great job with mani & pedi. Thanks for the great customer service! read more

I am very disappointed. I have worked in the beauty industry for nearly 10 years and I was appalled at the lack of customer service and intimate experience from this salon. My nail technician 'Kim' focused much of energy towards micromanaging the associate around her, and went VERY quickly through the nail prepping phase. Due to her lack of attention, she knicked me twice making me bleed both times. Never ONCE did she check to make sure that I was satisfied with the length/shape/style. I asked for a rounded off almond shape and left with a flat rounded circle (no narrowing towards the tip) and very sore cuticles. I am very sad, but will happily NEVER return to LCN Nail Spa again. If you want quality nails, from a tech that cares, do not go here. read more

Snarky attitudes and poor service. I don't think it's to all customers. They are selective. One technician consistently does poor work and she is assigned their least favorite customers. If you go be careful in your selection of technicians. She also presents herself as not understanding or speaking English but she does. read more

I loved how easy it was to make an appt and my gel manicure looks fantastic. This is my 2nd visit and I'll be going back again

Best Nail Salon in Raleigh!! My daughter and I came here for first time to get our toes done as it's next to NoRa's for coffee and we thought to try it out. Great service! Definitely will be back read more

Had an appt with a friend, but had to wait and were seated at different times. Asked for pedi and Olympic Rings design on big toe. Got a random flower, asked for redo, got attitude and two additional design charges and the sad little balloons in photo. SEE PHOTO!! Poor quality, not going back. *posting for a friend* read more

Horrible service. Went in for an eyebrow wax, had me sitting for a long time, lady comes in for gel nails (no appointment) they sit her right down and help her. Never again! Beware of this place. read more

I started going to LCN Nail Spa when I first moved to Raleigh as it was conveniently located 3 minutes from my home. At first my visits were great but as I became a regular here the work became sloppy. Once while I was getting my nails done a sweet young lady was sitting beside me also getting a manicure and gave the owners her card and info stating she was interested in employment because she had recently became a nail tech. After she left the entire staff began to chatter and pick fun of this sweet young lady with clients all sitting there listening.... needless to say that was my last visit. read more

Very clean, the staff are great, care about what they are doing, and want the customer to have a good experience. Highly recommend.

Went to lcn nail and spa and was over charged !! I got a fill in and a pedicure with a nail cut down and $68.00!! I have never paid this much for a pedicure and a fill in my life ..: the lady could not explain why I was paying this amount just said I got a cut down ..: I recommend you ask about price because they charge people ridiculous prices .:: there are places that do better work and charge way less !!! Just beware of Kim who loves to overcharge her customers. read more

This is the best salon around! They are friendly and Kim does an excellent job. Very clean and have protection up for your safety!

I went to LCN for my first time today. It was very hygienic and had a nice atmosphere! The girl who did my polish change did an amazing job! The polish is perfectly approximated to my cuticles without painting on them. Will definitely go back. My only complaint is the prices aren't listed so I was unsure how much it would cost until I paid. The gel polish change on my fingernails was $23. read more
