This was my first time there and it was terrific! The salon is very attractive, clean and quiet except for the wonderful music that plays. I am thrilled to have them so close to my home and the read more

Been getting my nails done for years. Thought I would go treat myself, and they look horrible. One had is longer than the other, asked for short almond. Not short at all. I can see my real nail through the color. The SNS is uneven and overall poor quality nails. $134 later and I will now have to go back to my nail salon at home to fix. read more

We were here for over 2 hours and the services rendered were rookie at best. The price was god awful. We made appointments for two pedis, a full set and eyebrow wax. Couldn't do the wax because the person that does that wasn't there. One of my wife got almond shape French tip with the chrome gel coat. The edges of her nails aren't straight and one of her nails is crooked. Oh, almost forgot. The same song played the entire time we were there on repeat. Our experience was tragic. read more

Below average pedicure. I made an appointment that they did not really have available when I got there, I still had to wait 45 minutes. It was a quickly done deluxe pedicure with lack of detail given to cuticles or massage. Go else where! read more

Speedy service, beautiful salon, kind employees, I got a manicure and it looks perfect! It was super affordable pricing, as well. Overall, it was just a great environment! I would definitely recommend!!! read more

Brand new nail salon near Harris Teeter. Outstanding service - very clean and Laura did an excellent manicure and pedicure. Hurry in!!!

Not only is falling nails, a complete and total rip off, but they changed their prices depending on how you look. If you look like a tourist or wealthy at all, then the prices are jacked up. The last time I went for a regular fill with no special request whatsoever or missing nails I was charged $82. I checked with several salons on James Island and they all charge $48-$50. I do not recommend this place unless you want to be ripped off. read more

Mike did an excellent job! I walked in and had SNS done. He is a perfectionist and made sure my nails were perfect. I will definitely go back. Loved the conversation with him and my nails look great! *** UPDATE*** 1 week later, my SNS nails have lifted and some are cracked, so I just removed them. They looked amazing for a few days, but $65 is a lot to pay for only a week of good looking nails. read more

I called to see if I could come in for a pedicure in a few minutes and the lady said sure,we arent busy .I got there in four minutes and I walk into a packed salon where Im told it will be an hour. I guess in 4 minutes 12 people decided to get a pedicure at same time ! Do they really think this is an acceptable business policy? read more

Highly recommend seeing Chris for all of your nail needs! He loves what he does and pays attention to detail every step of the way. He did my acrylic full set with ombré and sparkles. They came out perfect, he kept making sure with me that I was happy with the length, cut, filing etc. they all came out straight and perfect. He is very modest about what he can do for designs but he's definitely a pro!! His ig page is full of really cool designs he has done. You can tell he truly cares about making sure you leave happy.. if you need a new nail tech he's your guy! read more

Folly Nails - Pink to white ombré full set acrylic with sparkles - Nail Salons Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Amazing place! Fast, reasonably priced, friendly and super knowledgeable! I'm a cancer survivor and my big toe nails never grew back properly after chemo so I have to use acrylics. My salon in Charlotte didn't build the acrylics properly this time, leaving a small gap between the toe and the acrylic. So of course it got snagged on something and ripped off. We still had 1/2 our Folly Beach vacation left! Google and found Folly Nails. Henry replaced the nail and sealed it properly on my toe. Then he replaced the other big toe nail and matched the color perfectly! I will definitely be back when we are in town again! read more

I moved here to folly Beach nails at the beginning of July 2023. I have been getting the dip on my hands and they look amazing! The shape and the dip is nice and the dip is smooth and thin (not thiick or lumpy which sometimes can happen). They are always very sweet and professional every time I have been there. I usually make an appt but I have done a walk in and did not have a problem getting in. I definitely recommend Folly Nails! read more

I had such a great experience here. Henry gave me a beautiful gel manicure and was really nice to chat with. Clean facilities, great color selection, fast service. Highly recommend. read more

A great place -- fast, friendly, high quality work at a good price point! Was at Folly Beach for Thanksgiving, so just picked the closest. I lucked out! read more

My nails were dipped and while on vacation one broke. I decided to go to this place to have it fixed and while there I decided to have my eyebrows & chin waxed. The lady put me in a pedicure chair & proceeded to wax my neck & under my chin repeatedly without really letting the wax dry & harden & I could tell it was barely getting any hair off. Fast forward to the nail dip (BTW I decided not to get my eyebrows done!) She kept picking out colors that were nowhere close to what I was already wearing so I asked her to file my nail down so it didn't look quite as bad, I paid, and I left SMH. The next day my neck & chin began peeling like a bad sunburn. I could go on, but bottom line is I highly recommend not going here. read more

The owners we're the only two there on Monday when we went so I have some acceptance of that. My toes were not given a top coat and were rushed. They got smudged that night which never happens. read more

I own a vacation home on Folly Beach and come to this place for a pedicure every time I am at my house!

I had a good experience coming here for a basic mani-pedi. The total cost was $37. I didn't give it full stars because there were a few professionalism type issues...nothing really horrible, just preference. I don't prefer being talked around when I'm the only person in the shop. Feels unfriendly. The nail job was okay/good. I did have uneven nails (filed crooked) when I left and two minor imperfections. The facility appeared clean and well-cared for. read more

Awesome place! We came here on the off season in January on a Saturday . My manicurist said it is usually slow during the winter. I was able to get three appointments for my friends 30th birthday. We had so much fun talking and hanging out, especially hearing stories from my manicurist (totally forgot his name). But he turns 29 today! My friend got the deluxe pedicure that supposedly Mimi (I think that was her name) gives the best. My gel manicure and pedicure only cost me$58. Which isn't so bad for charleston. My toes still look good and no chips. I just wish I could have gotten a better manicure. We were talking a lot and I don't think they did all the normal things like cuticles to help get the polish far enough back. Three days later and I already have a gap at the back of my nails. We did get to bring our own wine and drink it there so that was a plus! read more

I love this place. Henry and Chris are very good at what they do. True artist. I've never had to wait and I'm always done in about an hour. I always get compliments on my nails. I def recommend Folly Nails! read more

this place did an terrible job on my nails, i asked for a full set, he kept using drill attachments that are not meant for natural nails and he kept hitting my natural nail and it was burning. after i had left and looked they were lopsided and all different lengths. the nails were not smooth they had bumps on them and just over didn't like that place and do not recommend at all. the pedicure chairs are set on a wooden boards, they had little to none color choices. DO NOT recommend this place. read more

I would give this -1 star if I could. My experience was absolutely awful. The technician didn't wear a mask until halfway through my manicure and I left the salon with two of my fingers BLEEDING. I am absolutely, unequivocally appalled by the service I received. I went here because it has such high ratings, but I would never, ever, ever recommend anyone else go here. Save your blood and money and find another nail salon. I beg you--please read before you consider going here! I arrived and asked for dip. The male technician (I didn't catch his name) wasn't wearing a mask. He sat me down in the chair and literally tossed the mail color wheel at me and said pick one out. I was thinking "okay, that was kind of rude" but just sat in the chair and picked a color. He started to push my cuticles back very forcefully with NO lotion or oil. I was wincing a bit, but I guess he couldn't tell behind my mask. When he was done with that, I asked him to put his mask on and he did. Then he started to buffer my nails with an electric buffer, but also used the electric buffer to I guess "clip" my excess cuticles. Let me remind you that my cuticles were bone dry at this point and he was so aggressive with the buffer that not one but TWO of my nail beds started bleeding!! All he said was "oh, did that hurt?" Umm, yes that hurt?! No apology, whatever. He didn't apply any antiseptic or anything to my nails, just dabbed the blood. After that, he put glue on my finger nail and pulled out acrylics. I said "no no no, I don't want that." He said "what?" I said "I just want dip." After a few back and forth of me repeating the service I requested over the phone when I made the appointment, when I walked in, and now at this moment, he said "oh I thought you said tip, not dip." He did the dip fine, but at the end I had a ton of gross gunk under my nails - a combo of dirt (he never scraped under my nails at the beginning of the manicure) and congealed dip powder. I explicitly told him that there was stuff under my nails and asked him to get it out, and he literally pointed to this sink and said "wash your hands and use the brush to clean under your nails." So, there I stood over the sink for 5 minutes scrubbing under my nails trying to get hard nail polish unstuck. Not only did I have to work for the manicure that I was paying for, but the bristles of the brush snagged my skin where he cut it open with the elective buffer and they bled again. Then, the service was $40. Absolutely ridiculous with prices posted no where in the salon. Let me just say I really, really just should've walked out. At every point I was just thinking, "okay, this is the last of the snafus. It'll be okay from here." But let me tell you, start to finish this was absolutely horrendous. I left with two bleeding cuts, very dry hands (he never did put lotion on my hands), and a hole in my pocket. My story speaks for itself. Do not go here unless you want to risk just one of the things that I experienced happen to you. read more

I needed to get nail glue... badly! My nail fell off the other day and I left it back at the house. I was headed out to get nail glue at the grocery store and had no luck. Soooo I figured I'd stop into a nail salon to pick one up. They were a bit hesitant, it seemed, to sell it to me... but the gentleman gave it to me for a dollar... I gave him two instead. Meanwhile, I managed to look over their pricing and everything looked good. I'll be back to get my nails filled in this weekend,but they definitely saved me with this quick fix. read more

Jenny was fabulous-quick and efficient and speaks English very well-super sweet! Great job

Henry was awesome! My nails look beautiful and the prices are comparable to inland shops. Would highly recommend!

GO TO CHRIS. He will listen to what you want and execute it perfectly. best mail technician I've ever been to, hands down.

Worst manicure ever!! Not even worth one start. My cuticles were left ragged and I had to finish them myself. Not to mention one finger was left bleeding. The guy didn't even try to clean up the blood...just painted over it. He started with my pedicure which seemed to go ok, until a regular customer came in. (I had made the mistake of telling him I was on vacation). All of a sudden, he couldn't get me out of the chair fast enough so he could get to his regular customer. Hence the ragged cuticles and bleeding finger. I went here because of high ratings, but I don't honestly see where they would have come from, unless a regular customer. Go anywhere else but here!!! read more

Awful. Had to Watch the owner clip his toenails before he would let me pay and leave do not recommend

This is my second time getting acrylic nails, and they are amazing!! My first experience was terrible; but I wasn't with Folly nails, it was a joint up in Michigan. Chris did my nails, and they turned out absolutely amazing! My entire experience here was exceptional. From ambiance of the place, to the cleanliness. Everyone here was very nice and I would love to return! read more

This was the worst nail experience ever. I waited over an hour for only 15 minutes of attention to my feet, done by the OWNER! I came in with 2 other friends, one of which began before me and was still being serviced after I was long done. I received only a light buffing to my feet and then straight to polish. No deep exfoliating, no cuticle cutting, no massage, nothing. Biggest waste of $48, again, done by the Owner. Terrible service. He didn't even put my shoes back on my feet, just walked away and started a manicure on someone else. I thought maybe he would come back and finish. My two girlfriends and I thought, maybe he had aa different order of doing things. Different, YES... Straight up poor service. Be Warned, do not waste your time or money, complete rip off!!! read more
