    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really enjoyed my experience here at Covered Nail Bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]As soon as I entered, I was greeted by Sonia. She was very polite and welcoming into the establishment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She offers snacks as well as refreshments during the experience. She really took her time to detail my nails exactly how I preferred them. There's a nice ocean vibe tone to help you stay calm as well as a relax music vibe. I recommend everyone to come visit and experience the lovely Ms. Sonia at work.

    I wish I would have found this place sooner! The place is tucked in the Cafe of Life at the Beacon. I called them a day prior to make an appointment for an emergency appointment and they were able to take me in for a gel manicure ($39). The place is super cozy and was offered water or hot tea as soon as I got there. The owner, Sonia, was the nicest person! I was looking around on what color to get my nails painted and she knew exactly what I wanted when I told her my "vision". My nail tech (whose name I totally forgot) was awesome as well! She was super friendly and we had a conversation going about 90 Day Fiance lol. I will certainly frequent this place now that I've found it.

    I can't think of a more relaxing, affirming environment to get nail care. The walls are covered with positive messages, Sonia and DaMiah are attentive and talented, and you're offered water, tea, or wine. Please come and support this lovely Black-owned gem.

    The reviews for this place were excellent. I decided to give it a try because it was in my neighborhood. I won't be going back. To say the service is unfriendly would be an understatement. The owner seemed angry that I actually had the audacity to show up for my appointment. I walked in (on time). We were the only two people in the salon. As a new customer I expected a warm welcome. Not only did I not get a warm welcome, I didn't get ANY welcome. In lieu of a welcome, I was told to go wash my hands in the bathroom. During my manicure, I was scolded for the condition of my nails (which were indeed bad) and lectured (told everything in life needs to be done with intention). She also pushed my cuticles back significantly with no warning. It was painful. She told me afterwards that although it hurt, it was necessary to keep my nails healthy. I don't understand why she didn't provide a warning beforehand if she knew it would hurt. She did get friendlier toward the end but by then, she had already lost me as a future customer. To add insult to injury, my gel nails are chipping less than one week after my service. The two stars are for convenience and the aesthetics of the salon.

    Self care time!

    It is always a pleasure coming to Sonia! Her service is impeccable. My hands and feet are always on point!

    I have had quite the experience with nail salons here in the Atlanta area and now I know why... The nail Gods needed me to find my way to Covered Nail Bar. Sonia is a nail gangsta/ super cuticle killer thug! Ambiance: The space was small, intimate, clean and inviting. There was a small waiting area with 2 chairs, 2 pedicure thrones, and one nail table. There was a very large selection of polishes to choose from. There were nice soothing tunes playing and the place smelled amazing. Experience: I showed up to my appointment a little early and although I had not also booked a pedicure, Sonia was able to squeeze it in to her schedule even though it was getting late. She offered me wine (and it was the good stuff), she worked very efficiently, and was very sanitary. I am a licensed nail tech (although I do not practice anymore) so cleanliness is something I always pay extra attention to. When she did get up from the chair to do something, she sanitized her hands before returning to work on me which is just one example of her cleanliness. Her polish job has to be the best in the city. Hands down. No exaggeration. No sloppy paint jobs here! And once finished, she even cleaned up around the cuticle to make sure that the polish would not lift due to any debris and/or uneven polish. I don't think my cuticles have ever looked so good! Parking: She is in a building shared with other small businesses however I was able to park right out front of the door very easily. Overall, I highly recommend visiting Sonia for a one on one nail experience! Scheduling was super easy online as well!

    Sonia is the best ever. This boutique nail bar is comfortable and aesthetically pleasing with a calm, relaxing vibe. Sonia gives you a heated neck wrap and a choice of water, tea or wine during your services for a full experience! She makes her oil, scrubs and butters all from scratch and even sells them in the nail bar. Sonia's attention to detail and genuine care makes her the BEST in the business. There's really no other nail bar like it in Atlanta!

    The best manicure I have ever gotten by far. Sonia is sweet and is meticulous about making sure your nails look great and your cuticles and hands are healthy

I did make an appointment a few weeks ago because my schedule wasn't super flexible. My technician who did a manicure and pedicure was Dejah and she was lovely. She took time cleaning and filing each nail meticulously. I did get an express manicure and a nourishing pedicure with gel polish - both services cost around $135, but I thought it was well worth the money for the professionalism and detail that the technician offered. Since I didn't have cash for tip, I was able to leave a tip via Venmo. PS: they have drinks you can purchase. You can also order coffee from Green Beans (two doors done) that they will deliver to you!

I like that you can add a quiet add on to your appointment so your technician knows you're not interested in talking but want to relax. They have a wide variety of nail polish and the polish will typically last for a few weeks with no chipping. Prices are reasonable for the service you receive. All technicians have provided excellent service and are detailed and complete quality work. There is also a coffee shop next door so arrive to your appointments a few minutes early to get your Favorite beverage.

    After being treated so rudely at my last shop after I asked how much longer the wait would be (I…read morealready waited over an hour), I was on the hunt for my new favorite nail shop. Parking: The building is easily accessible and there is parking on both sides of the building. It is located in a very busy area (east Atlanta village). Nearby businesses in walking distance and right next door: hookah lounge, bar, and multiple restaurants. Atmosphere: a mask is not required. When I walked in I was addressed immediately and was treated so kindly. Something I really liked was when u come in they ask u to wash your hands first then pick out your color. That way so many germs aren't e transferred from ppls hands to the nail polish bottles and vice versa. When I washed my hands there were no paper towels but instead there were clean white towels u could dry your hands with. Process: at this point I'm impressed. I picked out two polishes but I couldn't make up my mind which one I wanted. But then this happened.... the nail tech OFFERED to paint my toes with both colors just to see which one I wanted, I almost cried. lol. I REALLY appreciated that. My nail tech, Minh, was very gentle with my pedicure and didnt make me feel rushed. She also immediately greeted me as soon as I walked through the door. The manager was helping clients out of their massage chairs and asked me how I was enjoying my pedicure. The other male nail tech was pulling out chairs like a gentleman for his clients. They highly recommend making an appointment but the tech did say that if they're not too busy, they will take walk-ins. I made my appointment on their website. Deluxe pedicure: They have the massaging/vibrating chairs. For me that's a requirement. My pedicure consisted of the standard nail trimming/cleaning/cuticle cutting. Then the following steps: sugar scrub leg and foot massage, a skin mask, hot towels wrapped around your legs, a lotion foot/leg massage then finally the polish. I love my techs massaging skills. She was firm but gentle. Usually this part really hurts me bc previous techs were very rough. Payment: you can pay with debit, Venmo or cash app. They even have signs with QR code's so if you didn't already have it, u can download it onto your phone. Overall experience: I can honesty say that I have never been to a nail salon where I was treated no nicely. I had such a pleasant experience. I can say I found my new nail salon. . I also watched how they treated other clients and everyone was courteous and accommodating. The only down side was during my pedicure one of the techs was playing his music on speakerphone for 15- 20 min. That is one of my pet peeves. Whenever I'm out in public, I do NOT want to hear ppls conversations or music on speaker phone.

    Solid business overall. I was able to do a walk in. Got a mani pedi done same time. Pricing was not…read moreexpensive either which is a plus.

Found them on Google, called ahead, and was told to come in at 3 for SNS. I arrived at 3:10 on a Sunday to a nearly empty salon, which was surprising for a weekend. The front desk lady asked what I wanted and called across the salon to a young man who was working on nail decals solo. He visibly did not want to stop what he was doing. With only two people in the shop, someone had to help me, and that fell on him. While he finished up, the front desk lady was actually sweet about the service. She brought over colors and even suggested a fun option: a clear SNS base with gel polish on top for a jelly color effect. I loved the idea and agreed. When he was ready, he held his hands out without a word and got to work. No greeting, no conversation. He soaked my nails in what I can only describe as boiling water before filing everything off, which was genuinely painful. When I mentioned the jelly color technique the lady suggested, he said it wasn't possible, started doing my nails anyway, and never explained further. The paint job was rough. It looked like I did it myself with my non dominant hand. The whole service felt rushed despite the salon being practically empty, which made it more frustrating given that I called ahead specifically to be considerate of their time. Five days later my nails are destroyed. The SNS has cracked on most fingers and taken chunks of my actual nails with it. The gel polish is flaking off. Press ons would have held up better. Would not recommend for walk ins. If you go, make sure you have a dedicated nail tech you trust.
