I walked in 3 weeks ago looking for Gel X manicure. The place I normally go to to get my nails done does not provide gel X and I wanted to try something new. I did quite a bit of research and came across Daniel nail studio. I got there around 5:30 and was taken care of right away. Once we figured out what I wanted, Daniel went to work. The gel manicure did not take long whatsoever and I got some light nail art. He was kind and polite and even pointed me to the weekly specials so I could take note for next time. They have gel X manicures 10% off on Fridays and Saturdays I believe. While I was there, I also wanted to get a pedicure. I always get a basic, another lady did my pedicure, but she was friend friendly and allowed me to sit quietly and enjoy the rest of my time. I feel like my time there was the quickest I've ever been and still they did a great job. I went in on a Wednesday and was the only one there at first. Six people came in after me. I'm past due to get my nails done again, but plan on going soon for another gel manicure even though walk-ins are welcome. I would probably still do an appointment just in case. The checkout process is very simple and you know what you're going to pay before you get done with your visit so there isn't much of a surprise when it comes to cost. When you first check in, you have to choose what you want and it adds a total if you add anything during your visit, they will add to that total but you get a basic of what you're gonna pay before you even start your visit. Can't wait to go in again! read more

This place was awesome. First time getting my nails done, hands and feet, and I had a wonderful experience! Different shows to watch while you relax in a massage chair... I personally don't talk much, and they respected that! My sister talks while getting hers done and she's gotten her nails done here longer than I have. I'm not the type to keep my nails painted, but I would certainly come back here if I want them done again. read more

Decided to get a full set after my last set broke. I'm visiting from jersey and came across this salon on Google and wanted to try it out. Service was great and fast. Especially last minute. Was very attentive to how specific I wanted my nails and didn't mind showing me each time. Overall love the nails and service. Highly recommend. read more

Take tooooooo long to seat you. Daisy can prep but instead sits at the front laughing, gossiping, and taking time from Daniel so he can hurry up and get to the next person. I told her Pedi and Mani she had 2 seated before she finally asked me! Waited for my child so we could leave! 3 people WALKED IN before I was even asked if I I was getting my toes done .Also $100 for BASIC FRENCH TIP??!?!??? RIDICULOUS !!!!! If you want to get serviced to go MIMOSAS NAIL BAR!!! 5 minutes driving difference read more

My new favorite nail shop! Daniel and his staff are so nice and friendly. They sincerely care about their work and their customers. The shop is very nice and clean and has a great modern and trendy look and aesthetic. Today was my third time coming here, and as usual I was soooo pleased when I left. Mimi did a great job on my colored French tip! read more

Twice gel polish came off in less than a week. I had one person who didn't seem to know what he was doing so I asked for someone else.Beware only has a "B" rating. I would never eat at a restaurant with a "B" so I will definitely not be going back to this salon. read more

This was my first visit here (found on IG) and I had a great experience with Tang for a manicure and pedicure. Nice salon and atmosphere. I love that they have scheduled appointments and I was seen pretty swiftly. I will definitely be back!! read more

I do not recommend this place whatsoever. Just went Sunday 03/03 for the first time with my friend. Today is Wednesday 03/06 Does this look $129 worth? My fingers are in pain. I am so ready to get these off. At least my friend's nails came out okay but she was in pain the whole service. They charge for mini water bottles and wine, no complimentary here. They play the same 8 songs and constantly berate you if everything is alright. I felt so uncomfortable to speak up and was just eager to get out. We spent a total of 2.5 hours there and no other service was provided. Noted that my best friend was seated after me and was done wayyyy before me. Not only her, but the entire shop was finished while this circus went on while the owner was watching and giggling. Thank you Daniel's Studio for continuing to make salon nail experiences terrible in the upcoming triangle! read more

Best nail studio in Raleigh! Daisy did an amazing job on my pedicure and was very quick but very detailed. Daniel was fast and did my acrylic lay on both hands in 5 minutes! This was an all around great vibe and everyone really made me feel welcome. I was in and out in about an hour. Very affordable prices! Highly recommend !! read more

I've been looking for a nail tech that was not only good at what they do, but PASSIONATE about it. I love basic nails & extra nails & I want someone who's willing to do whatever & enjoy doing it. Daniel is 100% dedicated to his craft & he created a beautiful, sturdy nail. I told him I typed a lot & in the past my nails would break or wear down & he reinforced the tip & my nails lasted 3 weeks! They probably would last another week but I'm ready for my next set! Can't wait to share my next set! read more

I got my nails done 8 days ago and they already look like I've had them for weeks and need a fill-in, They look like press on nails! Daniel did my nails and I felt like it was kinda rushed. Every time I put my hand in the gel curing machine, he would forget to hit the button for the blue light to cure my polish. Not worth $95 for a full set.. read more

I'm giving it a two start rating because of the tech that was gracious enough to fix my nail. I went for a dip manicure and end up being charged for a full manicure with dip and the manicure was not fully completed. Two nails broke in less than 3 days of having them done. I made an appt for the repair- I get there and the owner is delusional as to why I'm there and conveniently the tech that worked on my nails was ghost. I do not recommend due to poor quality and overpricing. read more

I had an appointment with lilly at 6:30, called and made my appointment with evan as i got my nails done 4 days ago and my nail lifted and one broke and stated i wouldn't have to pay due to not even having my nails a week ! It's currently 7:13 and I am still waiting on my 6;30 appointment.. UPDATE- 8:18 still haven't been serviced for my 6:30 APPOINTMENT got seated at 8:30 when they are supposed to close at 8 read more

My initial visit with Mimi was good. She was very sweet and the work she did was nice. I had to come back almost a week later because the nail polish lifted. All I wanted was a polish change, so I requested a thin french tip, which stated on their site $7+. I go to check out and Daniel tells me $50. When I asked for a breakdown...it's $5 to remove previous polish, $25 for gel change (said that'sfor buffing and filing), $15 for thin line (considered design) and $5 for nail length. I just got them cut down at initial visit. You walk in expecting to pay a certain fee because of the website. I advise to make sure you get complete total of all needed before sitting in someone's chair at his shop. If you decide to go, see Lesley or Mimi both were wonderful ladies! read more

The nails came out cute but the random charges are ridiculous. $2 service charge?! Also, $7 to shape my nails that were already square, square? Very odd, money hungry behavior. read more

Previous reviews seem based on not the quality of the service, but personal issues. Daniel is a wonderful and talented technician. I went to him for the first time today. Appointment was easy to book, communication was great (he texts for confirmation, etc.) Arrived at his office space (in a business park that has offices that look like townhouses - typical for N Raleigh). He fixed my nails, they had jagged edges and were not straight. Now they look amazing! I will be returning for service. I would much rather sit in a quiet space with one technician, and have quality service, than visit a huge nail salon. read more

I'm giving it zero stars because the prices are way too high just for a simple fence tips I was charged $87 and on top of that the lady cut me and they didn't give me a discount at all I will not be returning read more

This nail salon was just like the rest they claim they do a great job and are able to do so many designs but cannot. My first issue was the listed hours of operations online it stated they close at 8 which is not true they close at 7. This was frustrating because I felt like we were already being rushed and I could not get all of my services completed. While getting my nails done they apparently had to close their payment machine and requested I pay before my service was complete, whichI see now was a setup because they knew they couldn't deliver. I had to give direction the entire time on things that needed to be fixed and they still were not up to par but I had prior engagements that I had to leave for so there was no time to resolve it then even though I spent almost 2 hours in this salon. The next day they looked even worse my nails are not fully painted, I have acrylic on my nail beds, paint was chipping from whatever special effect product they used to do the gold, and the form of my nails are simply trash. I went to rectify the situation at the studio and it was not handled appropriately. The man told me my nails look nice even though he offered to fix them before saying that. I even asked another customer that was in the middle of getting her nails done if my nails looked nice and she agreed they were flawed and began to point out the same flaws i mentioned. I asked for a refund because it's the holiday I don't have time to sit and wait I need to be on the road atp. He said there is no refund policy but asks to see my receipt to see how much I paid. Which makes no sense. I told him if I have to come back I'm not paying for them to fix my nails it should be free after paying 110 for a fill in and design. He told me it wouldn't be free. Of course I got frustrated because what do you mean. Then he repeated that I can sit down now and he can "fix for me" . I repeated that I didn't have the time to sit. He then asked why am I here. Now as a customer I didn't owe him that explanation but I live and work close so that's why I was able to swing by and I also felt I should have received a refund. He then tells me to calm down and atp I'm still calm I'm not loud or obnoxious but I'm clearly frustrated which I am well within my right to be. We literally went back and forth about me being calm then he finally asked when can I come back. I proceeded to look at my calendar and he says I have to get back to my client to rush me and pretty much let me know Im no longer important now that they have my money. I told him the least he could do was let me find the best date for me to come back which is another inconvenience because that's time and more gas I have to waste. Nonetheless I tell him Monday and he tells me that I have to come back by Friday. So now I'm even more upset because I'm going on a trip which I just explained and I am not cutting my trip short for nails. It's bad enough they look the way they do. He attempts to go back and forth with me on the day then eventually accepts that Monday will be the appointment and at 630. Then at 730 my appointment was cancelled. This whole experience was a mess and unprofessional. read more

Hello All and Daniel I know you'll see this. It's a pitiful greedy shame that I scheduled an appointment with Kristina (@5pm EST). I arrived on time for the front staff worker to tell me oh she's with a customer I don't know how long she'll be knowing she took the appointment when I called in. Then, she (the worker) has the unmitigated gall to say to me "you can ask her how long". Knowing I'm the one with the appointment. How dare you tell a customer with an appointment to walk up on another interaction to beg for time that I had scheduled. I had another appointment hindsight why people make appointments to avoid Walk-in wait time. So don't WASTE YOUR TIME GOING TO BUSINESSES THAT DON'T RESPECT YOU AND THE FACT is if there are no customers you don't have a Business. Never be so arrogant and prideful about how you run your Business. And the sad thing is I had been a faithful, regular right down the street from my home. Your business won't prosper with that level of arrogance and booking appointments and not keeping them is tacky!!!! You're in a shopping center that is not flourishing! And People of color patronize your Business so once we learn our Value system and doing business with our Own!!!! Don't take it for granted how you treat customers or you won't be in business long. And watch how you TREAT regular customers who spend and are valuable and have power to refer and have referred. Thank You!!! Take this as a lesson to coach and develop your employees on how to treat paying customers! Learn humility as a business owner and rid yourself from arrogance. You eat cause people pay you!!! NEVER be PRIDEFUL it leads to falling. Happy to discuss further! read more

Asks for a deposit to make an appointment .. seems odd to me. I was excited to try this place but sadly won't be doing it because I've never had a nail place ask for a deposit. read more

Color wasn't what I expected. It was very difficult to see under his bright light and dark studio. I contacted him right away, instead of offering to fix it, he blamed me. Then he said he would fix it, but charge me. Very overpriced for basic nails. Charges extra for everything, including putting a glitter polish on nails. Nails are lifting 24 hours after service. read more

I Just recently went here 5/28/24 they do a good job but they charge you for everything if you have dip they charge $10 to take off then charge you $50 to put back. I had to go back the next day due to poor quality after paying an additional $15 for a design Daniel argued me and said it was my fault of why the paint was chipping on all my nails. He also kept saying I'm taking it off for free for you as if he was doing me a favor. I asked that he removes the design and reimburse me and add it to my next visit he refused until we were going back and forth. He then agreed to give me a $10 certificate which wasn't even the amount paid for the design. He kept saying I paid the tech not him. I went in the salon at 5pm and had to return next day 9:40 am due to chipping paint which he says was gel. Then time came to pay he had all these additional fees and I had to go through them and he took off 4 items that I didn't even have service to. I feel the new nail tech did great on my pedicure she was brand new first day but the quality of products were not good. Daniel then lied to me saying the salon wasn't his For 2 regular pedicures with gel, & dip I paid $170 Unfortunately, I will not be returning, I will be going back to my regular nail salon! read more

Caught a green/black fungus from this place, all they suggested was to soak in soap and water and to visit them again. I don't mind payin leg for a service but I was overcharged for nails that were lifting in a week.if I could leave less then 1 star I would. Waited over an hour for my appointment.... DO NOT GO HERE read more

Terrible phone and in person service with booking appointments. Located in a very sketchy area, appears to be in a house.
