I was very disappointed with my experience at Inspire Nail Salon in Bowie. Unfortunately, the nail polish began peeling in less than a week, which reflects poorly on the quality of the products and service provided. In addition, the customer service was lacking and did not make me feel valued as a customer. After paying premium prices, I expected much better quality and professionalism. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this salon to others seeking long-lasting nail services and good customer care. read more

We went with 4 people to get a pedicure and manicure. They were timely with the reservation we had. I thought they did a great job and took their time on us. It was very relaxing. Would definitely go back and use their services again. read more

Really recommend this nail bar, I personally got builder gel. I was seated with Ivy and after being with seated with so many male nail techs Ivy was so refreshing and very detailed. I mean my French tip was neat and I'm very picky about my nails. Wait time was virtually 0 walked in and was immediately seated. walking in 5pm and being quickly seated was nice since I was in a rush and Ivy worked fast got started at 5:05 and was paying by 5:45 pm will definitely be back read more

I didn't get the name of my nail tech, but the gel manicure and pedicure I received were terrible. The "quick shoot" pedicure advertised as lasting 30 minutes lasted all of 15 minutes at most, and I'm not sure what she did. I put my feet in the water, she didn't clean up, barely filed my toenails into a decent shape, and barely scrubbed my feet. She doesn't know how to polish nails either, she acted like she didn't care, my nails look like I've had them 2 weeks, again, she doesn't know how to polish nails, she got some on my skin, when I told her I didn't like how she was polishing my nails she acted like she didn't understand, I asked her if she was going to polish them a 3rd time and again she acted like she didn't under, someone came over and I told them I didn't like the way she was polishing my nails, she missed areas and again got polish on my skin.i won't be back. read more

Inspire Nail Bar - Nails by Hailey - Nail Salons Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

The place looks nice and clean but the service was terrible. You can visibly tell that they just want to hurry up and finish, no attention to detail. During the pedicure, I had to ask for her to cut the nails and then had to ask serval times for the tech to file them, she only bothered to do my toe nail. To make it worse, l I wasn't crazy about the color she brought over (they didn't even ask me to pick a color it was that rushed), so I told her we can just do clear.. she put the color on anyways. Now, I have nail polish all over my toes because she didn't even clean up my fingers, and the nails aren't even smooth. I didn't stay for the manicure. read more

Inspire Nail Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

I feel really bias because I always compare my nail experience to my favorite salon in Brandywine, MD However, coming here is not too bad. I need to relax and spend time with my sister and so Inspire nail bar was close and some place I experienced before. They offered beverages and gave the usual pick your color sample ring. My lady was spectacular unfortunately I didn't get her name. My sister's pedicure went pretty well until the nail technician went too far into her cuticle. I was not a fan of hearing about that or seeing it. Their prices are decent, but I've seen cheaper and experienced better quality shops and services. It was 6:20 when out appointment started they did reason with me because my original appointment was at 6, but I ran into rush hour traffic trying to make my way. My main issue with this entire thing was charging for tip without acknowledging they were charging for tip. Usually, technicians are tipped in cash. The salon is esthetically pleasing, but after pedicures the chairs need to have a place to go and towels need to be pick up. Needless to say, It's not a bad spot , but salon cleanliness and communication of service charge needs to be better. read more

Inspire Nail Bar - Final product of Tequila Sunrise pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

Never again. Let me first say I am a licensed nail tech. I came to this nail shop for just a pedicure the day before I was induced. The nail tech rushed through the service so quickly she forgot to file my toe nails on one foot. She starts painting my toes and it's a mess. I ask her if the polish was old because it looked so thick. She brushes me off and says it's the first coat. She ultimately attempts to fix the polish with multiple layers of top coat to the point my nail was stuck to my skin with polish. I tell her it looks a mess and another tech comes over and says she'll fix the big toe. I had to argue with them to do my toes over(again the day before I give birth). Picture enclosed! Oh and the shop isnt clean. I had to ask them to wipe the chair down before I sat and there was only polish filled cotton on her cart, the file and the pumice stone were used. read more

if you are black don't go here. They talk about you in your face, they made me pay early and did horrible on my nails. one lady told me to come back to get them fixed and left before my appointment time.... I asked for wine and they told me no but I get it any other time. read more

Asked for a finger soak off and the woman kept insisting on a pedicure soak off with gel... next strike was her not including the original requested price into whatever persistent service she was berating me to get. Next strike after that was me getting a partial soak off for 10 dollars because when I walked out and looked down I still had product on my finger so I went back asked for some acetone to take home because obviously I was expected to do the rest at home, pics below. I used to go here for years and stopped because the cleanliness was iffy but this really has barred me from returning. The tall old man does great work but beside that, I wouldn't risk it. 0/10 do NOT recommend. read more

THEY ARE DELETING BAD REVIEWS. Went in twice in less than 2 weeks to get my nails fixed and they tried to charge me twice. I never had this problem at any other nail salon. The owner told me to come back after my last review to fix the problem only to be told to still pay when I returned. I wasted gas and time going to the nail salon. DO NOT GET SCAMMED by these people. read more

The salon is nice and clean. However the customer service is piss poor. And there's only a few good nail techs who work here, hence me leaving 2 stars. I've been going to Jenny for a while until she refused service because I questioned the price increase. As a paying customer, I have every right to inquire about the cost of a service. Especially the same service I've been getting for months! Since she refused to work on me, I tried Danny, who was nice but made my nails look messy, bulky and bumpy. When I asked for it to be fixed, the manager was rude and proceeded to tell me that I was too picky. If wanting clean, polished nails is being "picky," then I'd rather take my business else where. There are far too many talented nail techs in the area to settle for an establishment who doesn't take pride in their work nor care about the satisfaction of a customer. read more

Things have gotten ridiculous. This is an updated review. Typically during a refill -avg $40 We file off the existing color and remove any lifting. Choose to change the shape of the nail or take the length down. Then fill in the gap that has appeared around the cuticle area as your nails have grown with more gel/acrylic. Once hardened, filed and shaped then apply a new coat of color chosen. Most now give a oil/lotion massage for a finish Now a refill costs more for less service - $55 Removal of the gel color on acrylic -$5 Appling the acrylic with gel-$40 Nail shape-$5 Nail cut-$5 No cuticle trim No hand washing No lotion/oil massage Clear gel with plain acrylic for $55...everything is itemized without disclosing to the customer. The same is true with the pedicure, not even giving services listed i.e. the warm towel. I spent $130 including the tip on two basic services for fill and pedicure. I will NOT return ever. Nail shops like this are getting ridiculous. With rising gas prices etc, this is the first luxury I am discontinuing. Buyer beware. read more

I've gone to this shop for the last couple of months. Pedicures are typically decent (4 stars) but today, I chose the quick 35m pedi and he barely BARELY scrubbed my feet. Also, my nails and lumpy and not even filed. He also filed my nails after dipping in powder so the edges have 0 polish. I don't understand that train of thought at all. It seems to me that "walking in" is only safe if you need a pedi. If you walk in for nails... beware. All techs don't deliver the same quality nor possess the same skills. read more

I went three times for fill-ins. The first time a guy did a great job. The second time, the lady in the right back corner did a good job. The third and last time, the same associate did them. I asked for a fill in. She did. I chose my gel color. She finished and didn't add a top coat. I was looking at my pinky finger as I went to pay and it was ringed with a white substance. I showed the associate at the register. When I went outside in the sunshine, they all were like that. I went back in and told them to remove it all. I didn't ask for a refund and they didn't offer. They have lost my business due to a terrible fill-in and poor customer service. I refuse to pay $50 for that!! read more

This is my third time coming here when in town and I was attempting to be a regular customer but after this last visit I think I should frequent a shop that doesn't always look like they are looking for patrons. I got my nails done on a Monday right before I went out of town. No later than 24 hours, my natural nail that was dipped in powder broke. Since I couldn't fly back from another state, I waited until my return to immediately ask for it to be fixed- only to be charged for something that should have never broke in the first place if it was done correctly. The fact that they charged me 6 dollars to correct a nail that Britney didn't dip correctly is insane. Thanks for letting your patrons know you charge for any mistakes including the ones you are responsible for! read more

Helllo, my name is Officer Marshall! This is my 2nd time patronizing this establishment. Was NOT going to come back but I saw one of the nail techs that I've know for over 20 yrs, so I came back to support her! My first time here(23Apr22), I got a pedicure($80.00). If I'm spending that amount of money, I feel as though I should and DESERVE a decent leg/foot massage! It should NOT RUSHED AND SHOULD BE MORE THAN 3 MINUTES! On 16May22, I got a Pedi($55.00) as well. It was better, Again, the massage could have been better! Also, I'm most DEFINITELY NOT HAPPY about the fact that I was not informed about signing in on my 1st visit. I spent over $80 including the tip! Therefore, I was Robbed of my points from that visit!! Poor quality Customer Service! I may return, not sure!!!! read more

I called before I came & asked them how much a Brazilian wax would be. The receptionist/employee told me it would be $55. I ended up paying $70 because the waxer whispered to the receptionist before I paid. I don't know what was said. The ultimate let down was when the waxer used NO GLOVES! So unsanitary - bacteria & germs are real. The woman was in my private sensitive area wearing no gloves....... Gloves are readily available in stores, so it's not a stock issue. Are the employees certified to do waxing? I don't think so, this is basic routine client care steps. Gets 1 star because my wax results are okay, hair was still left. Save your money & time. Never again. read more

The service was very rushed. Went on a Friday morning without an appointment, so maybe it would have been better to schedule first. I paid for a 34 pedicure with massage that lasted 20 minutes. Gel polish was uneven and the shape and surface of my acrylic nails was not smooth and consistent. I did appreciate that the nail technician was very gentle. read more

Very low quality service. Had a manicure and pedicure. Hands and feet looked better before I came.

I didn't like my experience today. It's usually not like this but today was absolutely the worst. The pedicure was ten minutes when it's advertised as 30 with a massage and hot towel. Not what happened at all. The nail tech rushed and forgot to put on a top coat! I had to remind him to and put up with his attitude. See the pictures, they don't lie! The manicure was nonexistent, and it made my nails and hands super dry! I've never left a nail salon with worst nails then I came in. Total disaster. I asked the nail tech to clean up the residue, he said it would wash off eventually... never coming back. And the total charge was $80! The insult. read more

Rude and dismissive service. Facility is dirty and equipment is mediocre at best. Never again!

Siiiigh. This place was recommended by neighbor. I love the way it looks inside. Justin did my pedicure and I told him the nail was not even and to file it so it was straight across. He said he didn't want to ruin the nail. (What does that even mean) I literally had to fix it myself when I went home. I got an acrylic fill with gel polish. I literally got in my car and drove and noticed the top coat started chipping and turned color a darker shade. Mind you I had the same color from the nail salon across the street with no issues. They did offer to fix so I came back and I hear another female complaining about her nails as well. Justin never takes off the original polish and then puts more gel on top. I can still see darkened damaged top coat from the first session. I go back then next day at 1pm because Justin told me I can come back at that time and the owner said "we are busy, come back" ummm no ma'am! You will fix my nails today. Justin then removes the polish and all of them are asking me to now pick another color because something is wrong with it. I pick color 719. Again the color has darkened but the nail looks lumpy. I paid a total of 125 dollars for service and I have been getting nails done for years so I know what it's supposed to look like. While I'm There on my third visit another female was there complaining about her nails. Sooo it's not just me. This place is hit or miss. Look closely at photos. read more

Summary: Poor quality overall. I got a dip polish set in which I had to go back 2 days later because the finish was grainy and dull. They "fixed" the problem by applying gel top coat. And guess what? Yep 4 days later gel started to peel. Oh and a broken nail. All in 6 days time. I didn't even bother calling or going back. Don was my technician. He is super polite and kind however I will not be returning. $70 bucks down the drain. Oh.. I'd be remiss not to mention that the salon is quite clean and chic. Nice ambiance. read more

The first picture was day one, I came back the very next day because the nail polish started to peel, the tech who redid it wasn't able to do the do the design so I agreed to do the nude color, the very next day all the polish started to peel. I mentioned to both techs that there was no base coat or top coat added to the nails both times I was ignored. $130 plus tip x2 I'm very disappointed in the work that was done. read more

If I could give Zero stars, I would! It forces you to give at least one star for the review to post. I went to get my eyebrows waxed on March 16th. My regular tech was not there so I selected another familiar tech. She quickly told the young lady she was not available and told her to do it. I ended up sustaining a severe burn on my eyelids (well below my actual eyebrow line! One eye was injured more than the other. (Please see pictures...initial, days later and weeks later) It's been a month and I am still looking at a major scar! I understand mistakes happen but I am more agitated about the lack of customer care! I spoke with Yvonne who I was told was the manager. She simply told me she believed me...will do for free next time. The thing is they want our business / our money yet she did not so much as ask me to come in to assess the damage! I will not be returning. I know it was not intentional. That is the only reason I will not sue! Be cautious! read more

I made my appointment on this past Friday for today, Memorial Day (May 27th). I immediately put it on my calendar for 11:00am. I arrive early for my appointment and wait 20 minutes only to find out that they had booked me for the day prior. No apology was given. Only repeating that they called me yesterday when I didn't show up. I have been a faithful patron for years!! I'm a part of their rewards club. I finally found a nail tech that I like (Hailey) and instead of them trying to make it right, it was my fault that they booked me for the wrong date. In this day and time, most businesses have confirmation text messages, they do not. So be warned, if they mess up your appointment, it will be your fault and expect you to simply reschedule. I will never be back and neither will my friends and family who I've bought to the salon and who are now regulars. After hearing about my experiences, they will no longer be support this business. We do not tolerate poor customer service!!!!! Grateful that there are many other options to choose from and I'm fine with taking my time to find the right one. read more

I have been twice already and I am looking for a other salon. The work is fine. Each time I got a pedicure and the service was completed by men (different one each time), which was not an issue for me. My issue with this salon is COVID protocol. There are some things that do not need to stop even if we have 100% vaccination or it just goes away. They do not sanitize the chairs between guests. I have seen someone leave and a new guest be seated in the same chair a little while later (w/o it even being wiped down). Also, this sight says they do temperature checks. I was not checked either time. I can be this picky because I have gotten my feet done in a salon where all of my tools came out of a small one-use package (file, sponge, etc.) and ALLLL products were pre-portioned. Otherwise, pretty good place. I would return, if they changed some things. read more

Grateful they took me in as a walk in, but $50 for a fill and then a $5 tip so $55 total, I would expect better and better quality. Not impressed at all with my nails and will not be coming back unfortunately. read more
