My co-worker recommended this place. We've been in the upstate for 10+ years, this is the first nail salon I've actually liked. Jay did a fantastic job!! My toes and feet look and feel amazing. Sue did my husbands pedicure and was also amazing. We have after 10+ years found our go to spot for pedicures!! read more

If I could give this place a negative review I would. I should have known how horrible this place would be when I went in and no one was there. The person doing my service spoke no English so I had to point to any issue I was having. I was attempting to show her my nail was broken and needed to be cut more when she tried to "pop my hand" like a little child. The manager of the business states that, "she didn't understand". This was the "worst pedicure" I received in my life. Callous was not removed. Polish not done well. Do yourself a favor and Do Not Come Here! read more

I arrived in Simpsonville SC yesterday to visit family. No one recommended this place, but in the past my sister and Neice had gone here, so I stopped in.... There were a few people in there but I was able to be seen immediately on a Friday afternoon(5pm ish). That was a red flag right there. A male greeted me and invited me to the bowl for my pedicure. Me thinking... oh it's a male I will make sure he focus more on my callous heels ( embarrassing but true- I hate my heels- they're not ugh bad, but they need the pedicure once a month) Well, the make was HORRIBLE! 1. The shape of my toenails are slanted. 2. My heels still feel rough! 3. Pedicure water was lukewarm I did not have the time to complain, I had plans with my family that evening. But...I will NEVER go bac read more

Highscale Nails Bar - Slanted toe nail on left foot! - Nail Salons Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

Since moving to Simpsonville a little over a year ago I have been coming to Highscale. I keep my nails done and I am in here 2-3 times a month. I used to see a lady named Kathy who is very good and I never experienced any issues with her but she only works Sundays which makes it difficult. The last time I was there I got my nails done by Van (manager). She had me looking crazy to say the least. At that moment I said, I will not spend another dime in this place. You should appreciate your customers and not take advantage. read more

Went in to get a pedicure. The nail technician pressured us into get the "signature pedicure" which said to include a hand massage. We later learned that it meant that they were going to use their hands to massage your legs like a normal pedicure includes... not that we were going to get hand massages. She pressured us by saying, "if you do the signature - it's better for me" Well, no duh, you're getting paid more. It was exactly the same thing as a regular pedicure at any other salon, lotion, warm towels, foot soak and scrub, etc. After my technician painted my toes, I asked her if she could take the paint off my skin. The photos below show the original, and "fixed" results. I only gave it 3 stars because after awkwardly being asked to pay full price for a really bad job, the owner gave me a gift certificate for $15. read more

First time at this nail salon, however Kathy has been doing my nails for years. This new salon definitely doesn't disappoint. Small, quaint atmosphere and above all, KATHY is here now check this place out and tell Kathy I said Hello! read more

I come here every two weeks and love it so much! great quality and attention by every technician. I highly recommend!

I chose the $50 pedicure since I'm pregnant and wanted to relax for a while thinking it was going to be nice. I didn't have 30 minutes of service. The materials they use look recycled from other customers I will definitely not return since I do not consider it hygienic and the service is very poor. I don't recommend it at all. Stay away from this place. read more

Today was my first time there and I HIGHLY recommend trying them out. This is my new go to nail spot!! My picture doesn't do my nails the justice they deserve lol. read more

It was terrible, the lady who did my nails made them crooked and way to long after asking her to cut them down multiple times. and after them falling off one of them ripped my whole nail off. She also cut my finger and didn't do anything read more

way overpriced for the services I received. I got the basic pedicure with gel polish and it was $55... not to mention the guy clipped my skin twice trying to clip my nail & then laughed when I said that it hurt... really unimpressed and disappointed that I paid that much for this work. read more

Although you make appointments, they NEVER take you on time. Horrible service. Customer service. And don't know how to apologize. Customers are never right. Very unfriendly. read more

I made an appointment and still waited almost an hour to be seen. I just needed to get my dip color taken off and clean up my nails so they could take a break. They were left ragged and torn, not at all cared for. Zero stars if I could. read more

2nd time going. Have the owner or her husband do your full set. A lot more detailed in her work. I'm happier now coming here. Still no drink offered but is that because of COVID? read more

Van was very nice and did a great job on my toes. I came here last minute after my regular place was super busy around 5:45pm on a Tuesday. She was kind and patient and friendly. Everything was very sanitary as well. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

I was excited to get in so quickly, but it seems they were available for a reason. I had gel French nails done that lasted 2 days before they started peeling off. They were also more expensive than other salons in the area. read more

This nail salon just opened and I highly recommend you give it a chance. I went in to have my acrylic nails taken off and dip powder put on. They took the time to wrap my nails to soak off the acrylic as to not damage my natural nail underneath. While My nails were soaking they brought over not just a bunch of sample sticks of their dip powder colors but books! Having the colors displayed in a book made it much easier to make my selection. The man who did my nails paid great attention to detail to ensure a quality end result. I am very happy! read more

Awesome service! Great atmosphere, spectacular color choices and Tina is very gentle.

Made an appointment yesterday. Arrived on time and was told to come back 2-3 hours later with no guarantee. I was told they had shut off the online booking today. Hmmm I did mine yesterday. Looking for a new nail salon. read more

The male nail tech was so rough. He cut my toe nails so short they are barely visible. He made two of my toes bleed and I still have dried blood on them. I told him he was hurting me and he just kept at it. i won't go back. read more

Well I called to see when Annie will be back. I was told she is not coming back. They are under new management. They said come in and someone will take care of you after I explained what happened last time. So I decided to try one last time. The gentleman was extremely polite. Everything looked ok as he was working on them but I still saw a bunch issues and just decided I just will not go back. Although he was extremely nice, and very meticulous, it took him two hours to do a fill and fix the broken one. I showed him the crooked one and he just left it the way it was. He wanted to charge me $50 and I stated all I had was $40. If I'm going to be spending this much money on a service I feel I should be happy with the end product. I definitely will not go back. Now 10 days later and one broke off and I am now noticing they aren't even filed down to the cuticle they are set way above it. read more

The place is a great nail spa but DO NOT let anyone do your eyebrows except Mia, the older lady messed my eyebrows up COMPLETELY! I do not recommend any one do your eyebrows except Mia. They knew she messed up my eyebrows and tried to justify her flaws like it was my fault. I didn't have a problem paying for them, I just wanted her to know she messed up my eyebrows and i was not pleased with her service and she just walked out. read more

Today was the first(and last) time I've been to this nail salon. I asked for the signature pedicure. My sister-in-law also asked for the signature pedicure. She got clear polish and I got gel polish. Her bill was $40. Mine was $60. Hard to believe I was charged an extra $20 for gel polish. Think I was ripped off! read more

My daughter and I have been here a couple of times. First was fine but second she got a man that did her dip nails in record time (not a good thing). There was no one there when we walked in but after a while, two girls came in which seemed to stress him out. Her nails looked good for one day before peeling. After three days, the dip was almost 100% gone. The search for a decent nail salon continues..... read more

Found the technicians quite rude. I felt like they all pushed me off to someone else until finally an older tech finally took me. It was the shortest pedicure I've ever had with little attention to help me relax and enjoy the experience. Will never return. read more

I was in town for a wedding and overjoyed to see that there was a nail salon right next to the hotel I stayed at. Since this wasn't planned I walked in. When they assigned someone to me I already knew this was going south. He was not friendly and didn't appear to really be a nail tech. He started to file my nails into a square shape per my request. One done I looked and they look terrible. In my head this must of been a joke. I still tried to stay hopeful because time was ticking before the wedding. I then asked for him to only push back my cuticles and he got so offended and kept telling me that wasn't a manicure but a polish change. Ok...whatever it is I don't want my cuticles cut. Then I asked for him to try and even out the filing on my nails. At that point he was just completely unfriendly. I decided to leave. Y'all get your customer service together. That was absolutely terrible. This man should not be doing anyones nails. read more

We walked into the establishment and were immediately put off to the side. We were a bit hesitant, but still put our names on the list. Our experience was tolerable until we noticed a shabby looking man with shoes and socks on passed out in a pedicure chair. We were instantly uncomfortable. We discussed whether we should leave or not, and ultimately decided to leave and not come back. We went down the road to Serenity and had a great experience with no homeless men. Overall, we do not recommend Highscale Nails Bar. read more

I was a little nervous about trying somewhere new to get my nails done, but the quality of work was definitely worth it! The lady who did my nails was very nice and did a great job very quickly!! This is dee my definitely going to be my new regular nail salon! read more

Sooo me and a friend went to get a manicure and pedicure before our beach trip and thought we would give this new place a try. I was very disappointed and will not go back! It took 4 1/2 hours to get everything done. We did our pedicure first... after about 30 mins they started running the water in the foot basin.. then we sat and waited. Our water got cold by the time someone came to even ask what we wanted. We wanted fireworks on our big toe... which we had to explain multiple times. I will say the girl that did the design did a beautiful job! It wasn't the design we wanted but beautiful! My friend had to leave so she didn't get a manicure. I decided to stay and get dip. There was a communication error between me and the lady... she took off a lot of my nail and they look like crap. Also the color isn't the same as what was in the book. It was $28 for a pedicure and $40 to have dip done. I told them I wasn't happy with my nails and that it isn't what I asked for... the guy said he would put tips on to make them longer for $30. I wasn't gonna pay that On top of everything else I paid. I was really hopeful... but this place was a disaster. read more

Highscale Nails Bar - My manicure... - Nail Salons Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

My initial experience with this nail salon was great. Pedicure was not as long as it should have been, but I was still willing to come back. The manicure was the best I have had in a long time by a man named Peter. The second time was awful. A lady named Mia rushed through my gel manicure; my polished chipped in days, and all of my nails were uneven. When I commented on how uneven my nails were her response was, "These are your real nails, and they'll be how you want them next time" AFTER she filed them so low that even if she wanted to fix them she couldn't. My nails were long enough for a straight shaping. My pedicure was rushed, and the lady tore the skin off the side of my foot. I will not return. read more

Came here twice! 1st time was okay they were busy so I understand the wait and the look over because I'm not a regular so no problem. Second time coming horrible service, a girl came after me got service before me so my feet had been sitting in water for almost an hour.. I jus feel like they have poor customer service &they pick who they "think will give them a tip" which I always tip it's ridiculous! Need to do better! read more

Trash!! Made an appointment on Tuesday for Saturday. Given a specific time to arrive and was told I will have to wait after the Walk-in customers are completed. No sympathy offered even though arrived ON TIME!! Waste of time and the employer does not know or recognize the difference of Appointments versus Walk-Ins! Terrible! Do not waste your time!! read more

Awesome Service! Beautiful nails! I just moved here and it was the first nail salon I tried. So happy with the service I received. Thank you! read more

I thought I'd give the new guys a try....won't go back. Had a gel manicure. My nails were a mess. She hurt several times And responded with a smile. . Plus, absolutely no chit-chat, simply sat there and did my nails. I asked her something and didn't acknowledge at all. When I soaked them. Cold water. "Cold is ok". Uhhh no, it's not. Then, after cleaning no washing of my hands‼. I have NEVER had my nails done without washing (without soap) after she's done (polishing done after washing). No one asked how it was, did I like them, etc. plus she put 3 coats of color on left hand and 2 on right. I didn't even go there with them . Wasn't going to argue. Never again. read more

So disappointed in the service we received this evening. I took my two daughters (ages 9 and 7) to get pedicures and the brochure states Children's pedicure - $20. Apparently this doesn't include color even though it doesn't mention that (they charge an extra $5 per child for putting nail polish on their toes). Also, be careful which nail polish you choose as they are all mixed in together (gel color versus regular). No one mentioned anything to me regarding this prior to starting the pedicure. It doesn't say gel on the bottle, and common courtesy would be to check with the customer before upcharging by $20. When I questioned the charges, the manager was very matter of fact and rude. He offered to make the nail tech remove the gel and replace it with regular polish as we were ready to leave. I just paid the extra charge because I didn't feel like the nail tech should have to do the work again due to terrible management. If it's not in your written materials and you don't communicate up front, you can't expect customers to pay extra. Bad business practices!! Rude and callous management!! We won't return! read more
