Google and maps say they close at 7. I called because I got lost coming from work at 6:30. Lady on the phone never said "we're closed". I get there at 6:45 and the lady at the front desk tells me they are closed and all the workers have already gone home. Even though there is someone sitting in the pedicure chair getting her feet done. This is my first and last visit. Poor customer service/communication. Update: I'm here waiting on my ride, and a lady comes from the back and says "I messed up my toes" apparently she was getting her lashes done. They are fixing her toes. But all the workers left for the day.
Meticulous and clean, very professional nail salon. I was very nervous to go back to a strip mall salon to get my nails done, I had to go to a doctor because of nail fungus from a strip mall salon, so it has been years since I have had any type of pedicure or manicure in a strip mall salon. However, this one had very good reviews so I decided to give them a try, Very happy I did, I will be back. I had one little bubble in one of my nails, I asked if there was any way to correct it when I was checking out. I have never had gel nails so I did not know if it was fixable or not. Rosie the manager took me back to the table and brought out my nail technician to show her what was wrong and fixed my nail, I am very happy. I hope the gel last like I was told. I brought my own polish for my toes, I almost matched them. Next time I will get an exact match! This was a great treat! Thanks Ladies!
It was okay. I just moved to Metairie area so looking for a new salon to frequent every month. They were able to get me in for a fill last minute, which I was super happy about (the other place I made an online appt for I found out was closed when I showed up). The lady who did my nails was very nice but they charge an extra $5 to cut down your nails and $5 for the shape. After my nails were cut down she didn't make sure they were the same length on both side (usually do a side by side comparison). They aren't really shaped coffin style like how I asked, some look more square. I'll just end up filing and fixing myself. The chairs that you sit on are worn out and peeling. I'm not sure if I'll go again, but it wasn't the worst of places.
Aqua Nails & Spa is going to be my forever go to for nails. Nowadays it's hard to find a nail salon that stays professional like Aqua did - where the workers don't scream over you and talk about you. At Aqua you will experience complete professionalism in a relaxing spa environment. I would definitely schedule an appointment if you know you're coming in. I did walk in and noticed how busy it could get on the weekend, but they still took me in with amazing customer service. My nails are on point, my total experience was great (I got a cup of red wine -yum!), and they made me want to come back again for a different color! I'd recommend this place for sure.
Seriously y'all- I love everything about this place. Let me start by saying that I'm a woman of habit, and I'm typically extremely resistant to even the smallest amount change. I know, I know, I'm boring but I like consistency and knowing what to expect from an experience. So say what ya want but when I find something I like, I tend to stick with it. I guess you could say my motto may be 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. Well folks, something was broke, or chipped to be exact; my nail polish and I was damn tired of it! Cue Aqua Nails and Spa and the Hallelujah chorus from Handel's Messiah. Aqua is the Only nail spa in Metairie to offer the SNS dip. Before coming here I had never even heard of an SNS dip and this is coming from someone who has been getting their nails done regularly for at least ten years now. I've heard of acrylics, shellac polish, colored acrylic powders, standard polish, you name it! But never of SNS dips. Apparently it's not very popular in the New Orleans area, which is probably why I've never heard of it. After quite a bit of research, I decided I was going to bite the bullet and give it a go. I was anxious about not only going to a new nail salon, but also trying out a completely new (to me) technique on my nails. I've been getting gel polish on my natural nails for about two years now, and before that I was doing acrylic topped with gel polish. The issue I was having is 1) My polish was constantly chipping/peeling and 2) My nails were always weak after my gel either peeled off or was removed via acetone which was preventing my nails from growing to my desired length. I was fed up. Gel polish isn't cheap, and my polish chipping and peeling 4 days (sometimes even the very next day!) after my manicure was driving me crazy. The solution? The SNS dip. Basically the dip is a beautiful middle ground between the strength of acrylics and the lasting power of shellac/color acrylic powders. What makes it better than the aforementioned options? Well there are several reasons: It doesn't destroy your natural nails, it's more durable and flexible than traditional acrylics, it doesn't require UV light to set like shellac, and best of all it looks natural. The only drawback is that they're a bit pricier than shellac manicures, but honestly if you were having the same polish issues as I was experiencing then it's worth the splurge to have a long lasting manicure that looks just as beautiful 3 to 4 weeks later. Needless to say, I'm converted. Go to Aqua Nails. Get the dip. Never look back.
Really Clean! The staff is super nice and pleasent... I rarely try new shops in fear of being displeased... I tried them because theyre around the corner from Perks Coffee...I am so glad that I did. They have such a wide variety of awesome mani/pedi packages.. I get why people say they are pricey, you will get what you pay for here and more! Tried the SNS dipping powder...LOVE IT... I have beem loyal to UV Gel for 7yrs... I will NEVER go back after trying this process! As well as probably never go to another shop!
I just recently moved to the area and was looking for a nail salon to go to regularly. I'm so happy I found this place! They're very polite and professional. Easy to make an appointment over the phone and the salon is beautiful. They also sanitize the pedi tubs and replace the plastic lining after each person. Love this place!
A little me time for a rainy day and it's DEFINITELY WORTH IT!!! I will definitely come back and recommend to all of my girls y'all should come get your nails done and relax ladies. Because we deserve it.
Very friendly staff and clean place. We walked in with no appointments and waited maybe 15mins, not bad at all!
I had a very pleasurable experience here. I love my nails. The salon is very beautiful, one of the bests I've seen in Metairie so far. Rosie did my nails and I'm absolutely in love with them. The only part I didn't like was waiting in the pedicure chair for about 30 mins. The water got cold from sitting so long. Other than that, I'd totally recommend this place.
I came to this salon because of the great reviews and competitive pricing and was not disappointed. I asked for a basic pedicure, which came out great, and a gel polish, which I LOVE. I will definitely be back. Staff was kind and professional and the salon was very clean! By far the nicest facility I have been to in a while.

Tried cat eye polish today. Pink pebble Came out neat. Next time will try different magnet designs read more
I needed a quick pedicure at a local nail salon and came across this location. The salon is fairly small but clean. I got the regular pedicure and it was rough. My cuticles were cut on both big toes and the tech was very rough with both cuts. She used the towel to clean the wound instead of a napkin which is a huge sanitary issue for me. The polish job was poor quality... For $40 dollars.. I cannot complain, however, I would request one of the older women to complete my service if I return for next time. read more

I tried Aqua Nails & Spa for the first time today. First worth mentioning, the place is really clean and the employees are polite and accommodating. I went in with rough looking nails due to traveling and left very happy. I opted for the basic manicure ($15) and was satisfied with the attention to detail. The manicurist did a great job with my cuticles and the massage was amazing. They also offer complimentary wine for anyone interested. I plan to go again, and I'd recommend this place to anyone. read more

Absolutely love Aqua Nails! Exceptional service and professionalism. If you value good quality work, this is the place for you. The pedicures are absolutely amazing and they give great massages, never rushed. I see Rosey for my nails and she is exceptional, I am very picky about my shape and style but Rosey nails it every single time. Before finding Aqua nails I was always bouncing from place to place never pleased with their work, but Aqua nails is now my go to place! read more

Rosie did a great job on my daughter's nails. She's been wanting them done (acrylics) and I finally decided to let her. I checked around and Aqua had the best ratings and price. Everything was so nice and aesthetically pleasing. Complimentary wine/water is offered while you are being pampered. We will be back! read more

Do u have to make an appointment?
No, you don't. But if you're going on the weekend it might be better so you won't have to wait as long. I've walked in before without having to wait.
Do you guys have color acrylic?
They do, although I'm not sure about which colors are available. I also recommend making an appointment before you go.
