Gel pedicure with design
Teri D.

Saturday afternoon Tequila Sunrise pedicure with Andy is the best way to treat you and your nails to a self care day. My vibe was on chill as he pampered me. He is attentive, professional and careful with you. Taking time to ensure you are comfortable throughout the process. Mimi did my nails, her skill is unmatched; these designs Dare hand drawn! She only does same day appointments, be sure to call early - Dynamic Duo!

I really enjoy Inspire and will continue to home here regularly. I followed a nail technician (Amy) from another salon, and Amy is amazing - but the atmosphere at Inspire compared to her previous salon is really elevated. They've got drinks, snacks, massage chairs for while you're waiting, a lot of floor space so no feeling cramped, and it looks like enough spaces to comfortably sit a large party if you're wanting to bring friends along for a girls' night. I went to see Calvin one day after Amy was out - and he did a great job as well. My nails look great longer than I would have expected and I have no complaints! I got a gel pedicure and acrylic with French gel manicure and chrome. Very happy with the results. Will absolutely be returning, regularly!

Gel mani!
Marcy M.

Had an amazing pedicure and gel mani with Jennifer! It was very relaxing. They offer drinks - mimosas, wine, sodas. They took us quickly and were very accommodating! We will be back!

1 full day after service and paint peeling already. Spent more than $140 here, for this?

I came here after seeing the reviews and it was close to the hotel I was staying at while in town. The price points attempt to advertise as a luxury service especially how they try to include free drinks and snacks. The snacks are $0.50 bags of chips and dum dum pops. The massage chairs while you wait to be seen are not cleaned regularly nor sanitized every couple of hours, the cupholders look as if they have never been cleaned. They allow their tools to sit in the barbicide more than the 15 minutes indicated for hygienic controls. Pictures of my nails are less than 24 hours and my fill-in looks like its already days old, and the work is just not clean, very sloppy for such a price point. The total for my gel fill-in and gel pedicure totaled approximately $144, and I am below impressed. I only ventured out because my nail tech is in her home country and saw this place had decent reviews, I should have gone with my second choice which was Glo Nail Bar (Glen Burnie, MD) and saved money at least. I would not return beyond just getting the correction needed as shown in attached pictures. They do not have good customer service and despite me having to return there was no efforts to preserve business and satisfy the customer, so yes I have no problem giving a full review so others know what they are walking into. Not the worst work, but the failure to truly preserve their customer experience and the false pretense of luxury does deserve a low rating.

I got a pedicure as a walk-in. Price was different from quoted. Cuticles were not fully groomed and the gel polish wasn't fully applied. The nail tech broke my toenail but she repaired it. She filed it too thin. It was a rushed job. I give 2 stars because the place was clean and inviting. I will not recommend service unless you have a standing appointment with a specific specialist.

My amazing mani!

Amy did an amazing job on my mani/pedi. Felt amazing and looks soooo good!! Will definitely be back.

Hannah did an amazing job! She was so sweet and did exactly as I wanted. The nails turned out beautifully.

Nothing like a relaxing pedicure
Sylvia A.

I enjoyed my visit at this nail spa. I used to come here years ago when it was VIP nails. They have remodeled since then and I was impressed with what they've done. I almost didn't recognize the place. They have a discount with points depending on how often you come in. You check in with your phone number. I had a pedicure called the Martini Lime. It was 50 minutes. Very enjoyable and they do offer a cocktail while you're being serviced. I went for the red wine but they also offer white wine, mimosas and champagne. It was quite relaxing. I didn't like that they charge you for removing your gel polish even if you're having that redone. Most people don't like to be bothered with gel polish because it's already an additional $20.00 that is not included in the pedicure service. I like it because I feel it last longer though. I could see myself returning. Maybe I could get a gift card. That would be awesome.

Love this spot. Very clean and the staff is friendly. They offer water, wine, or mimosa with service. They keep track of your visit and give you discounts. They have full service nail and pedicure options. They allow walk in and appointments. A little pricey but well worth it.

Diem A.

I stopped in here on the way to the airport. The salon was very chic and clean. The staff were very friendly and not pushy. They provide free drinks including wine. Yun (June) did my pedicure. She was very pleasant and did a thorough and spectacular job with my pedicure. The foot massage was long and relaxing. I would definitely come back here if I'm in the area again. Highly recommend!

Awful customer service to me. I went with my daughter to do a mother-daughter mani/pedi and while…read moreTiffany was GREAT with my daughter, the gentleman that serviced me was awful. He acted like he was drunk, was way too forceful with the massage during the pedicure, gave me a hard time when I wanted to be seated next to my young daughter- saying that his chair was in the row behind my daughter's nail technician's chair and that my daughter is fine. I repeated that I will sit next to my daughter and he was visibly and verbally upset. He mumbled in a different language and sneered, almost like he was trying to intimidate me. I should have refused to allow him to continue his service, but for my daughter's sake and the sake of our mother-daughter date, I remained seated next to her and he brought his tools over to do my manicure. The worst part of this entire experience was while he was doing my manicure, he starts speaking in broken English about how dangerous Baltimore is and how the gangsters in Baltimore are all Black and a Black man shot his friend in the face. He said he has to watch his back because of the "Black man in Baldmorr". He said all of this in front of my daughter, who was visibly disturbed and probably scared. Not one employee did or said anything to make him stop speaking so recklessly. And last, he kept getting his OWN fingers caught in the nail drill bit! The man was drunk, racist and rude. Horrible customer service and horrible management because they did nothing about his speech or behavior. Worst mother-daughter outing I've had and will never go back and I do not recommend. There are too many better nail salon options in BEAUTIFUL BALTIMORE!

They took my husband and I as walk-ins for a pedicure and we were in the chairs immediately! At…read morefirst I was worried because they seemed busy but happy for the quick service!

Even when I flinch or say ow they don't care they just keep digging deeper. I thought I just have sensitive or really thin nails and that my pain was a unique experience that I will have to go through no matter where I go. Wrong. This last session was an amazing ye opener that I deserve and should find better. She went over all my cuticles 4-5 times I'm not kidding , I counted because after the 2nd or 3rd time it was getting more painful. I should have said something but again I was convinced that since it's always been like that then this is normal. Until I left the shop with an extremely itchy cuticle for days. Today day 3 of my nails I've noticed swelling around some of my cuticles. That's when I learned this was indeed not normal. They are still itchy and not probably infected or might become so. I'll include pictures! I like the style I choose and over all the swelling, the unleveled nail, uneven-ness and even slightly crooked placement doesn't stand out from the naked eye unless some actually chooses to examine my nails. The most I'd trust the people here to do is my toes and even then I rather go somewhere closer to people that do the same thing but without me wasting more gas. Btw this cost me $77 (I took off my other nails and got a fresh set plus the hey said $15 for cateye nails) I don't recommend.

I believe the prices were a higher than they should have been for what i got but it's my fault since i didn't inquire. The technician also didn't do a great job with what I got (unevenly painted nails) but I also didn't look and have her adjust. I will not return .

I write this review in shock of how my last 2 visits have gone. 2 weeks ago I went to VIP Nail…read moreSalon for a Dip Powder Manicure for my birthday weekend. The lady was unable to do what I requested so we settled for something else. Before fully allowing my nails to dry, she brushes them leaving a bunch of lint on my nail in which I noticed once I had already left. With the mindset of, people make mistakes, I went back today and again, had a bad experience. I got a gel Manicure with the wax option (extra cost) and a Dip powder manicure. My one toe has sways in it, my finger near the cuticle was filed down too much which resulted in bleeding and soreness, all of my fingernails are different lengths and uneven thickness, and there are bubbles in my fingernails. This service was no where near worth the $135 I spent there today! Loved this place when my tech Tracy worked there since she left I have had nothing but issues.

Honestly, the only good thing from this visit was the quick service... (1 hour and 5 minutes…read moreexactly), but it just goes to show that quality TAKES TIME. I have never in my life stayed seated at the manicure table to have my gel polish soaked off of my toes. I also have never had someone get the residue of the soaking (mixture of acetone and old color) on my flip flops. This was a rough experience, not just physically but just the entire process in general. If I don't have an infection within the next few days, I will be surprised because the tools and roughness of the service was awful (and I have a high pain tolerance). I'm also not pleased with having gel polish up my legs and fingers after they've been painted. The polish doesn't even go to the bed of my nail, and then on others the polish is over my skin. I was told to turn off the massage chair, because there was to much movement in order for him to be able to paint my toes nicely. Then to top it all off, the lotion at the end was half ass and the price went up. Per usual, nail technicians try to sell everything.. I was offered dip and brows which I politely declined. As I go to pay, I was told it was $60. Then I asked if I could leave a tip on my card, he shook his head and pointed to the atm machine. I said I have cash. Next thing you know, he told me it costs $65 and I still gave him a $5 tip (EXTREMELY LOW COMING FROM ME) but I know people have struggled through COVID. ANYWAYS - go online and the total should have been $58 for everything. I hope his total $12 tip helps his family in someway because it was not deserved.

On Thursday, January 2nd, 2025, I went in to enjoy a relaxing pedicure before my upcoming cruise on Sunday. Sadly, the experience was far from what I had hoped. My appointment stretched over two hours, during which I was attended to by three different technicians. At one point, the second technician had to leave to assist another customer, which led to a frustrating 45-minute wait without any nail polish being applied. To make matters worse, I was simply left sitting there. The only thing I received during this delay was an extended chair massage, while I watched the woman next to me being tended to by the technician who had originally been assigned to me. I clearly communicated my desired nail color to Cody, the first technician, and reiterated my choice again to the second one. However, by the time the third technician arrived, I could no longer find the reference image I had initially provided due to the long wait. Consequently, I ended up with two coats of baby pink polish, which was nothing like what I had originally envisioned. The woman beside me, who my second technician began serving, actually received a full pedicure and waxing before they even thought to address my toes again. This occurred after I had already been in the salon for over 30 minutes, which left me feeling completely overlooked. It was clear to me they weren't accommodating walk-ins effectively. All I wanted was to get my feet polished. The overall experience felt disorganized and unprofessional. Furthermore, the pricing was confusing. I requested a standard pedicure without gel, but was told that would incur an extra charge. This is concerning, as it felt like unexpected fees were being pushed onto customers. On top of that, I didn't even receive the foot massage that is usually a part of the pedicure until I specifically asked for it from the third technician. This oversight truly took away from the relaxation I was hoping to achieve. I ultimately paid $38 and left a $10 tip, but I left feeling frustrated as the salon didn't offer any form of concession for the trouble I endured. To top it all off, when I got home, I discovered a cut on the side of my foot and realized that the callus removal had not even been completed. The owner Thomas and his wife arrived around 30 minutes before I was leaving. They attempted to appease me with excuses for the technicians' performance, attributing it to a breakdown in communication. Their absence during my appointment left me uneasy about their dedication to customer service. Ultimately, the experience did not meet my expectations at all, and I have no plans to return.

My original appointment was scheduled for April 16, but when I arrived the receptionist could not find my reservation. My best friend, who booked it for me, eventually helped them locate it, but by then my appointment time had already passed. I was told it would be rescheduled for April 22 at 12 PM. When I returned on April 22, another receptionist, Precious, told me there was no appointment in the system again. I was then told my original holding fee had already been used, but I could receive a refund after speaking with management if I placed another holding fee for a new appointment on April 23 at 2:30 PM. After finally attending the April 23 appointment, I asked about the refund I had been promised and was then told by another employee that I could not be refunded even though all of these issues were caused by staff errors, not me. I came for a massage to relax during the final weeks of pregnancy and instead left feeling frustrated and more stressed. The lack of organization, poor communication, and conflicting information from staff was extremely disappointing. A spa should be peaceful and professional, but this experience was the complete opposite.
