I'm honestly not sure my nails have ever looked worse. I wanted a clear base with pink tips. This…read moreis what I got. The shape is totally inconsistent (I asked for almond), there are weird jagged edges, the powder shows through, and there are odd bubbles throughout (can't see them in the pictures). My nail tech was obviously rushing the whole time. She didn't get all the excess powder off between layers, and never checked with me on the shape. By the time I realized she wasn't going to go back and fix them she was already putting on the gel coat and it was too late. I'm extremely disappointed. Beyond the low quality, the salon was taking very few Covid precautions (half the staff wasn't wearing masks, customers weren't required to wash hands before service, and none of the desks were cleaned down between customers).

Anna is SO sweet and extremely talented. She does not rush or skip over steps and she is also hilarious. I have tried countless nail salons in Charlottesville and have never been satisfied until I found this place. I prefer dip powder and they had so many color options and her technique was amazing. Definitely the best quality dip manicure you can get in Charlottesville. It's clean, quiet, and peaceful. I don't have enough good things to say! FYI: you can't tip on a credit card so bring cash! They also don't take AMEX or discover GO HERE!

I've been coming to Holly's Nails for 4 years, and this was by far the worst experience I've had. I…read morehad an appointment, but I felt completely rushed through my service. The technician spent more time talking to another customer than paying attention to my nails. He rushed me to wash my hands and then was still trying to file my nails while I was standing at the counter getting ready to pay. I showed a reference photo of exactly what I wanted, but the final result looked nothing like it. The French tips are extremely thick, wide, and uneven instead of thin and natural. The shape is inconsistent, and the overall set looks rushed and unfinished. The white tips are so bulky that they look unnatural and distract from the entire manicure. To make matters worse, this was the most expensive set I've ever gotten there. After being a loyal customer for 4 years, I expected much better service, attention to detail, and professionalism. Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience, and I left unhappy with both the service and the quality of the nails.

I went in just to get my acrylics removed and a regular manicure. The machine they had me use to soak off the nails was absolutely disgusting -- it was covered in other people's nail dust and had an old, dirty paper towel in it. When the technician started applying the top coat, the polish began to smear and bubble. She and another employee started talking back and forth (clearly confused about whether it was gel or regular polish), but she left it as-is and told me to sit with the fans on my hands for over 20 minutes. When she finally came back, she looked at my nails and said, "Oh, this is gel!" At that point, she aggressively removed everything and told me to wash my hands. I told her I didn't want any polish at all after that mess. When I came back, she didn't even let me sit before rushing to put cuticle oil on--while there was still polish all around my cuticles. I asked her to please remove it, which she did, but then hurried me off like I was an inconvenience. After nearly two hours, I was charged $35 for this experience. One of the younger staff members claimed she "took $15 off," but I left on the verge of tears -- I'm not confrontational, and I just wanted to leave. My nails looked terrible, my skin was red, and I didn't even get an apology. Absolutely awful service, unsanitary equipment, and no accountability. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else.

My first time there. It seemed clean and comfortable. Service was personalized, personable, knowledgeable, and professional. I felt pampered and cared about. I think I have found my regular salon and will be returning. Would have given 5 stars but massage chair controls weren't working properly and the chemical smell when I walked in was especially strong. In fairness, all salon almost overwhelm me with chemical smell , but this seemed extra; possibly due to small area. After moving to pedicure room and sitting for 10 'minutes or so, it seemed tolerable.
