Do not recommend at all. My service was with Paulina. The design didn't look anything like what I asked for. The pinky design was different, the acrylic was THICK. I was there from 2pm-6:30pm. I ended up paying $98 there plus a $20 deposit for a service that was advertised as $60. Also.. when she removed my gel polish. She didn't soak it, just thinned out my nail beds by literally burning them thin.

I was introduced to Emma's Nails by an old co-worker. I've been coming here for over 2 years for…read moregel manicures and pedicures. Emma's was recently remodeled and looks more beautiful than ever. The employees are friendly and accommodating, including the owner Andy. He always makes sure his clients leave happy. My go-to girls are Pebbles and Phanny, but I've had my nails done by other techs and I can confidently say that everyone does an excellent job. Eyelash extensions, waxing, dip powder/SNS and mood colors are among other services they offer. Prices are fair. For a gel manicure and a regular pedicure, I paid $52. Cash and card are accepted. If you pay with cash, however, it's cheaper. They do have an ATM available on site if you don't have cash with you. It does tend to get busy between 5pm-closing so expect a wait if you stop by after work. On Saturday mornings, there are usually customers lining up outside. Make sure you arrive early and sign in if you want a specific technician.

I've been back and forth about posting this for a while because this place checks all the right…read moreboxes. They're clean, their schedule is organized and they don't overbook, they take appointment deposits, etc. The manager/owner is very nice and very skilled. My first time there He immediately helped take off my gel while my nail tech was getting the table set up. He also gave me some great advice about general nail maintenance and cuticle maintenance. I think my techs name was Alex, I don't remember what the managers name was. I asked for sunflowers on a black background and asked him if this was something he could do. He insisted he could and I let him know that it was completely okay if he couldn't because I had a backup design. He ended up not being able to do it and had to ask another tech to do it. They came out more like daisies than anything and I wasn't thrilled but I didn't want to hold up the appointment behind me by asking them to redo it. The worst part of this was when he started clipping my cuticles, he cut the entire side of my finger. Not just a little nick...the cuticle clippers took a chunk out of my finger. He apologized and I said it was okay because mistakes happen, but it happened AGAIN. Two chunks taken out of two fingers. (See in pictures below) To me this is unacceptable. I also asked him to be very careful with the silver drill tip because I didn't want to be cut. He cut me anyway and then said it's because my cuticles were dry. The cut was deep, it had nothing to do with dryness. I considered returning at a later date and just asking the manager to do my nails, but I can't ever go back here.

Why just don't call me a few days before my appointment to go over this information this is not how you run a business. My nails are only 2 1/2 weeks old and I was told I will have to remove them all and get a new set? Makes no sense at all. Instead, she could've offered me to stop by anyway and see if we can find a solution. I was really looking forward to get my nails done here because I was referred by a friend but again this is very very disappointing.

When I traveled to Japan and Korea earlier this year, I fell in love with the Japanese style of…read morenails, which seems more common in Asia compared to the US. I like the minimalist and modern aesthetic and use of more muted, natural colors. In Philly, I hadn't come across any nail salons that offer those kinds of designs and/or colors so, when I chanced upon O'Studio's Yelp page, I wanted to check them out. The online appointment booking process was pretty straightforward, which you complete on their website. I booked a "Gel Manicure w/ Art/Design" and "Regular/Undecided" appointment. The appointment was originally for 1 hr 40 mins and the actual appointment ended up being 2 hrs. The total cost ended up being $108 excluding tip. The design I ended up chosing was a design that's featured on their Instagram (@pipimiaonail) but opted for a different nail shape. It seems like they regularly update their Instagram so, if you're indecisive like me, that's a good place to look for inspiration. They cater towards more of a Chinese speaking clientele but they were still very English friendly. My appointment went well and you can tell that the nail techs put a lot of care and attention in fulfilling the client's nail request; my nail tech, Chelsea, regularly checked in with me to make sure the nails were to my liking. I'm very happy with how my nails turned out and I've received several compliments. If I had to make any minor comments, when my cuticles were being trimmed, I was nicked a little bit on the thumb. Also, for one of the nails that had gold glitter on it, initially, a different type of glitter was used. After it was realized that the glitter was different, the different glitter wasn't completely removed before applying the gold glitter per the design. But, those are super minor comments and overall I think a fantastic job was done. Would I go back? : Definitely! I would highly recommend their services. They are a bit on the pricey side but I think it's worth paying the extra bit of money for the type, level, and quality of service they provide. Because this was my first visit, I erred on the safe side by choosing a design they had previously done. After my positive experience, I can tell that they are very skilled and will consider requesting other outside designs in the future.

I scheduled a 1 pm appointment at like 12:50 pm lol. Mel was very welcoming and kind. I got a regular manicure and then my hand paraffin wax. The manicure was great and my hands felt like silk after the paraffin wax. I also liked that it was just myself and Mel in the salon and she stated that she goes by appointment only. Cards and cash accepted; however, there is a fee for the use of your card. New customer here, thanks Mel!
