My experience with this nail salon has been nothing but amazing. I usually book appointments for my nails, but today I needed to do a walk-in and they were able to take me in and the gentleman named John who did my nails was very professional kind and funny. He completed my nails rather quickly, even though he had a lot of customers. The price I was charged seemed very fair and not trying to take advantage. Inside it was very clean and I love the atmosphere. I highly recommend this nail salon for any of your manicure and pedicure needs! read more

My husband and I recently moved back to the area. This was our first visit to Lovely Nails. We tried walking in then realized they only do appointments. They were kind enough to fit us in the afternoon for two pedicures and a full set. Everyone was so kind and friendly. Everything was clean and well organized. They had cute hallmark movies playing in the background. John was so attentive to what I wanted my nails to look like and how comfortable I was throughout my entire appointment! And he was very respectful of my time. I will absolutely be coming back! read more

I have gone to Lovely Nails for years now! My nails are always great, I am greeted by the friendliest staff, and if I don't like a part of my nails, there is no fuss to fix them! I have always loved Lovely Nails and always appreciated the welcoming environment. The best, most affordable nail place around. read more

Absolutely beyond impressed with this nail salon. Not only were they accommodating to me short notice (called the day before to schedule a next day appointment for a full set & pedicure), but they were so kind and helpful to me as I tried deciding what I wanted. All of the staff were very sweet and really detail oriented. Massage chairs are amazing. I was seated in the chair before my appointment time and was able to enjoy the massage chair and a movie they had playing on the TV. My service started EXACTLY on time and the pedicure was just amazing. Hot stones, foot massages, hot towels. The works. John then did my nails following my pedicure. I have never gotten dip powder before and was unfamiliar with the process. The woman at the front desk helped me look through samples and pick ones that worked well with my inspiration photo. I changed my mind last minute and John was perfectly fine with helping me pick a new color. He was so fun to talk to and made sure to ask if the length was okay, the shape was okay, the color was okay, etc throughout the entire service. There was literally no way I could leave unhappy. I don't get my nails done often but I will 100% be back. read more

The staff are so friendly. They have a wide selection of colors and do great work. I drive from Jacksonville because this salon is so much better than any locally. read more

Stopped by here on my vacation. I'm always super nervous going to new nail salons but this was an emergency. The acrylics I had gotten at my hometown spa were horrible, they were breaking my nails and hurting my fingers so I called today and they got me in so fast and gently took those awful acrylics off and did an absolutely amazing job on my plain white gel manicure. She had to cut all of my nail down because of the damage the acrylics caused but made them beautiful. She was also so gentle with my hands knowing I was hurting because if the acrylics. This will definitely be my go to when I'm here! They are a small and quiet nail salon but so worth it! read more

Walked in on a Saturday morning but they were all booked for the day. Scheduled an appointment for the following day. My appointment started right on time with John. He is the owner and very kind, definitely knows what he is doing! I got a dip with added tip (45) and a pedicure. It was my first experience with dip and John explained it all to me! He even tests out his products on his hands before selling so he can better relate to the customer and the product. The pedicure was super relaxing! Only 25$ and it included a stone massage! The facility was extremely clean and all employees were very nice and respectful. They are open 7 days a week and definitely recommend. But make sure you schedule an appointment! Dip #08 read more

This salon is a true gem! Loved that it's appointment only so you're truly not rushed. Everyone was so polite and welcoming. John did a fantastic job with my pedicure. Salon was very clean and nicely decorated. Will absolutely be my go to salon moving forward! read more

First time in. Got pedi and powder on my nails-both are beautiful! Walked in and did not have a wait. The service and price were great and the whole experience was very relaxing. I will definitely return. read more

Lovely Nails was just that. Very lovely. Clean and on time. Made an apt. Restricted number of patrons. Practices social distancing And my mani pedi was excellent. Relaxing leg massage too! read more

Not the best I have ever been to but it wasn't horrible if you speak up and tell them you don't like something they will fix it don't just sit there and watch it happen Nails came out a little thick but I'll get them redone in South Carolina had a broken one so I came here read more

You definitely get more bang for your buck at this place and they do a fantastic job. Their basic manicures last at least 1 week without any chipping at all (and that is hard to accomplish for me)! Their basic pedicures come with a leg and foot scrub, a lotion massage, AND a hot stone massage...sooo nice! read more

One of my favorite spots! They have had the same staff for awhile, so you know the employees if you go regularly. They are polite listen to requests and easy to work with on services. read more

I'm super picky about where I get my nails done (says everyone, everywhere), but I really mean it - this place is clean, they are very prompt without being curt, and they let me pick the scent of my foot scrub for my pedicure. The massage chairs are AMAZING and I've had three different technicians and they all give really good leg massages with the pedis. If you wanna be a big spender, for $1 more you can pick a nail polish with a silver cap, and the polish lasts for weeks (no-kidding, my toe nails haven't chipped in three weeks). read more

Nice location but did not like service. Didn't offer me different pedicure options. Pushed my legs together to put one hot towel on them. I moved my feet apart because it wasn't comfortable. Pushed them back together. What is worse is everyone else got two towels. One per leg. Seriously!? Seemed to want just get done and there was nobody waiting. Will not go back. Will stick with Happy Nails down the road because of the much friendlier service. And two towels. read more

Very professional gel manicure. John is the owner and definitely knows what he is doing. My nails look like a million bucks. Thanks John!

They were friendly and patient. Took a while to finally get seen for a pedicure, despite calling ahead for an appointment. Very affordable and loved the callus treatment and salt scrub. read more

Kasey gave me a shellac french manicure. My nails are short since I work with my hands. She did an outstanding job. They are neat and just about perfectly shaped. I just moved into the local area and was looking for a new nail salon. The salon itself is clean and modernly decorated. $30 well spent and I will definitely be back. read more

Lovely Nails - Shellac french manicure from Kasey. Perfect! - Nail Salons Near Me - Swansboro, North Carolina

I've come here once a month for the past couple of years. When I came in today I said I was there for a pedicure and was told they were really busy. There was no one waiting in the chairs and half the pedicure chairs were open. I waited for him to suggest a time to come back and to take my name for an appointment but nothing more was said, so I asked if he wanted me to leave and he said yes. So- - yeah I'll spend my money elsewhere. read more

I used to come here every time I was in town, but will not go back after today. I came in for a mani pedi and the woman who helped me was very dismissive. She was more concerned with her phone then helping me, and was annoyed with me for asking for the polish I picked out, not the polish she brought over. When I went to pay, the same woman was more concerned with being on a FaceTime call to make eye contact or communicate with me. My manicure was OK, but the experience wasn't the relaxing, enjoyable time I have had before. Hopefully this was just an off day. read more

Honestly I was a bit nervous coming here as this was my first time at this nail salon. I regularly get my nails done every week/week and a half but am in town for a month for work so had to find a place here. I called ahead to see if they could accommodate a walk in for a dip powder manicure and the girl on the phone was very friendly and told me they could. When I showed up there was only one customer getting a manicure as it was during normal working hours on a Monday so I was very happy to see available seats. They welcomed me and showed me the color selections they had for the dip powders. Once I selected a color she began taking off my current powder. I really liked that she wrapped each individual finger as opposed to making me soak my hands in a bowl of acetone like other places sometimes do. She was quick and efficient and my nails came out looking GREAT. I'm so pleased with the shape (which is really big for me) and the over all experience (including cleanliness. They use bags in their pedicure "sinks" and change it after each customer). I'll be coming back for the duration of my stay here and will be a returning customer when I come back next year as well. read more

I love this place. The owners and staff is incredibly nice and helpful.

I was apprehensive to try a nail salon when we moved here but this place really impressed me. The staff was friendly and the facility was clean. I had the spa chair pedicure and basic manicure; the lady, who did my nails, was thorough. I wish she would've scrubbed my heels harder but she said mine weren't bad enough for it. The foot massage relaxed me so much, I nearly fell asleep. Unfortunately, my polish on my pedicure chipped the second day. Pedicures usually last me weeks during the winter! read more

I will definitely come back here! The service was great, the pedicure was amazing, and prices were reasonable. Plus, I got 5% off for paying cash. I come down here several times a year and this will be my new go to place! read more

First time there and had a delightful experience! Clean and professional. If I didnt live in Chicago I would definately be a regular.

First time at Lovely Nails and I am super impressed. Made an appointment Friday morning for Saturday morning and our pedicure started right on time! Beautiful and clean salon with very friendly staff. The pedicures were amazing and included a hot stone massage. We will be back! read more

I love this place. Will keep going here! Kasey is awesome what she does. She is very nice and professional will return in the future. Awesome work. The place is nice and clean and all the staff is nice read more

Awesome place!! Very clean and so relaxing!! Only thing that bothered me slightly was one of the worker's little girls was there and adorable, but a little talkative :) Other than that, this is a great place and great alternative to an expensive full day spa! read more

I went there for the second time and had a young girl who must have been new and she did an okay job on my acrylic set, but made a huge cut on my toe and messed up the polish she didn't even say anything about the cut. I will not be returning. read more

I have been going here for about a year from March thru December. I have found Kasey and staff to be professional & friendly. The place is clean, well run, and has a great selection of colors. They are meticulous about their work. Would highly recommend them!! read more

I just moved to Swansboro, and have been diligently searching for the "right" salon for pedicures. I consider myself a conniseur of pedicures, and it's important to me that the following occurs: good exfoliation and excellent massage with good products. My friend and I decided to try Lovely Nails, and both of us were in and out in 25 minutes. The nail tech rushed through the entire process. I expect the technician to go slow through the exfoliation with the pumice because I am SENSITIVE and TICKLISH. I can't stand it when a nail tech runs the pumice over my uncalloused areas... so lets just say the exfoliation process sucked here! Then the massage was quick to the point that the nail tech grabbed a towel to rub the remaining lotion off our legs... again rushed shoddy work. I would only frequent this establishment in the future if I needed my nails painted and did not have time to go into Jacksonville to NC NAILS, where the techs work like they give a s*&^ about the customer. Also, the price was pretty high ($25) for a pedicure without an exfoliating salt/sugar scrub of some sort. read more
