Took my granddaughter for Mani/pedi. She got a lovely shade of blue for each with a very intricate detail on her fingernails. Staff could not have been nicer, or more patient. read more

The nail technicians are very welcoming and skilled. Tran was very skilled and gave a wonderful message. It was extremely relaxing. Thank you very much for the excellent service. read more

UPDATE: I truly appreciated that the owner reached out to me to discuss my recent experience. She offered me her deepest apologies, refunded the cost of the service, and even offered to redo my nails at a later date. I look forward to a better experience in the future. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience at this salon. I researched beforehand and booked an appointment several days in advance with a nail artist who had great reviews. However, upon arriving, I was moved around to multiple stations and felt pushed off to whoever was available. When the first nail tech didn't understand my request, I offered to simplify it to a solid color. Instead, I was assured that Tran was able to do pink-and-white acrylic ombré and they moved me to his station. My service finally started 15 minutes late. During the appointment, Tran seemed highly distracted, constantly looking around while actively using the e-file on my nails. As he applied the acrylic, it became increasingly obvious he was unfamiliar with the ombré technique. I would have been perfectly fine with a solid color if the salon had just been honest upfront. I sat for the next hour and tried to be patient--I know that I was not successful, but it was a frustrating process. The kind nail tech at the table nearby could tell I was increasingly unhappy. One and a half hours into my appointment she overheard me saying that I had a car appointment because I had not anticipated my nail fill to take well over an hour. She kindly offered to fix it if I came back. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time because I had to pick up my vehicle and immediately leave town. I truly hope this was just an off day for the team, but I am forced to leave with my nails with what can NOT be described as ombré, thick acrylic near the nail base, and overly thinned out nail tips. To make matters worse, one of the nails already broke afternoon I had them done just from running my fingers through my hair. That simply should not happen. read more

I was given great service. The nail bar was very clean and the employees were very nice

Great pedicure and excellent customer service. Would highly recommend. My family was visiting we had a girls day and everyone enjoyed themselves. read more

Had a great first experience here getting a mani/pedi. I was immediately taken care and was able to relax while my nails were serviced. i'd definitely return. highly recommend. read more

Seated immediately with zero wait, and they did my nails exactly how I asked. Super friendly service and a perfect result. Definitely my new go-to spot! read more

When I went to get acrylics removed they filed the FUCK out of my nail beds and it hurts incredibly badly

I got a fill in, and a spa pedicure. One lady worked on my hands and the other lady worked on my feet at the same time. They offered me a drinks. I was so relaxed by the time I left. I highly recommend this salon because you get quality service! read more

Me and my mom went there to get mani pedi's and the pedicures were great no problems there. When I went to get a full set gel manicure the lady who did my nails took way longer than expected. She kept getting up every time someone walked in the door or needed to check out when there were other employees to take care of them, which made the service take longer. I don't mind letting someone get trained by doing the service for me but since the one lady that was doing my nails had another lady start my other hand and she was supposed to be doing my mom's nails which took her attention away from my moms manicure. When filing the shape of my nails she cut into my finger and it bled a little and she didn't even acknowledge it. When it came time to check out we spent over $200 because she charged extra for some things she used for my manicure that I didn't ask for. Overall my manicure was sloppy and did not meet expectations. I'm not one for bad reviews, and the gentleman that did my pedicure, Vinny, was amazing, but I will not be back here. read more

Very thorough pedicure and friendly staff. Took a bit long to get started but went very well afterwards. Enjoyed my experience and mimosa!

Fun salon, nice employees, and good manicures! I was impressed with my first GelX experience after having been getting dip for a while now. Maddy did a great job, and she was quick without rushing. It ended up being around $90. My first experience here was a good one! I'd return for another GelX manicure! read more

I don't get acrylics very often, but decided to treat myself because it was my birthday in a couple of days. I am so glad I decided to come to GDN! Trenton did the perfect french manicure on me! I was so impressed with the way my nails came out. He paid such close attention to every detail while doing my nails. Everyone here was extremely friendly, not to mention all of their techs have an amazing sense of humor. I had a really positive experience coming here and I don't think I'll be going anywhere else from now on. Thank you, Trenton for my beautiful nails! read more

I've been going to GDN Nail Bar regularly for close to a year. They have been consistently awesome with the gel mani and gel pedi treatments that I get. I usually see Kyara and sometimes Shay. They both have done amazing work. This salon uses magic remover instead of acetone, so it is much gentler on the nails. I don't even feel discomfort when getting polish removed, which is amazing. There is a wide selection of polishes available. The thing I love about Kyara is that she has the skills to do adventurous things with my nails. For Halloween she did orange and black foil nails, one time she did rose gold chrome nails, and for pride weekend she did rainbow nails for me. There is usually a slight upcharge if you're getting something special. Kyara sometimes comes in early. So, if you're lucky, you can land a before-hours appointment with her. When I first learned that GDN stood for "Guys Do Nails," I was concerned that it was a place for men. It is very friendly for men, women, and non-binary people. The decor is masculine, but it is well done and I always feel pampered when I go here. read more

I love this place. It's a cool place to hang, everyone is nice and this place houses the most talented artists in town. They can do ANYTHING!! It can take a while to get your first appointment but it's worth the wait. Once you get an appointment book your next 3 out and your set! I'm tough on my nails as a mom and highly active gym goer and I however 3 weeks with my gel x. read more

I've been a long time nail biter from stress, anxiety, etc! I came in with short brittle nails and Trenton introduced me to GEL X! We started out with that to give my nails time to grow and eventually swap over to acrylics when my nails grow to the desired length! Every visit I've left ecstatic with my sets! I'm incredibly indecisive so I've always had them pick designs! Full artistic creativity! I get complements constantly and love every set I've gotten! Thank you Trenton, Christan and Nancy! With my work, my nails take a beating and even then, I've only ever had one break off within the 8 months I've been coming here. They fit me in super quick for a fix! I love GDN nail bar! Thank you all for being so awesome! read more

I was given a gift certificate to GDN Nail Bar in Wilmington by my daughter. On the front of the paper handwritten certificate it has the normal To: / From: / Amount: etc... However, on the reverse of the certificate, it had a handwritten 1 year validation. unfortunately, I did not think to turn the certificate over to inspect for hidden clues. I called the shop hoping that maybe they would still honor the certificate. It was surely in their right to say "Sorry, we can't honor it". But, it was definitely an opportunity for them to say "No problem since it was not clearly stated on the front - Come on in!" They took the 1st option. Not very customer service oriented. read more

What an AMAZING experience. My friend gave me this recommendation to check out GDN and it is my new go to. When you walk in it's rustic and was spookily decorated. The entire staff was sweet and funny. I got the gel nails which lasted a whole month. They also pay really good attention to your nails and cuticles. I saw some people get some neat artwork but mine this time around we're just a plain color. read more

tacky decor, not welcoming. rude and just not the right vibe for us, may be for others but just not us.

Was really happy with my nails and the prices are average! I would recommend this place and

If I can't get a fill-in from having my nails done somewhere else here without paying to have them soaked off???? They do not need a new set, just a fill. I'm not going there!!!!! That is ridiculous!!! I was getting ready to make an appointment, but when I read this, I changed my mind. I used to go to this place all the time, but my nail artist left, and moved to Boone, NC... This place obviously has very much changed since she left, and I will never be going there again. read more

So I went hear based on other Yelp reviews, & I'm so glad I did! I booked with Chris after stalking her IG page lol, & she did not disappoint. First of all, the girl is hilariousssss! I was so nervous I'd be sitting there in awkward silence watching a stranger do things to my nails but that was definetly not the case. Everyone was super friendly, super welcoming, & so easy to talk to. Secondly, she does really good work! & I'll definetly be back! read more

I have found my new favorite Nail Bar. GDN is my new go to in Wilmington. I'll be making an appointment when I know I'm coming to visit. They use quality products and are very conscious of the options they offer to their clients. The brand shown here is gel polish made with Seaweed and NO CHEMICALS; with matching polish for your toes. Here's an inside tip for you----if you want an instant $5.00, pay with cash! Appointments are a must! They also offer express manis and pedis! I was in and out with both in less than an hour. What a fun and relaxing atmosphere. Who needs massage chairs, they never fit my body correctly or give the attention needed to the right muscles. read more

I would love to give it less than zero stars. I have tried many different salons and this has to be one of the rudest and unwelcoming places I have ever been. Jen, receptionist is rude and condescending. She kept trying to charge me for services that I did not receive because she was insisting that the person who did my services was who she thought it was and it was not. I understand that people want cash tips but usually you have an option so I tried to use the ATM which deducted money out of my account but never gave me any cash so therefore no tips and on top of that when I paid for my services they charged me an additional 4%. I don't mind paying for something but that policy should be posted and when I questioned it she was so nasty and said yeah we just pass those prices along. The saddest part is that the technicians were very good they did very nice manicures and pedicures. I will never go back there and I warn everyone to stay away. read more

I want to give this place 5 stars... however! I've waited one month to get my nails done here, did not know about the 3 hr cancellation notice (stuck at work, time went past me, wouldn't make it by 7 730) when making the appointment and someone called me to let me know that I will not be charged for missing the appointment. Seriously?! I really! Really! Wanted my nails done for my birthday here after hearing all rave reviews about this place but after that phone call, sighing and huffing in my ear, I'll be too embarrassed to show my face in this place read more

I loved my experience here. The place is super chill and relaxing. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and Shay did an awesome job on mani/pedis for my sister and I. It's slightly pricey but worth every penny! I will most definitely be back!! read more

Went in for a mani/pedi, nothing special...no gel. It took two hours and $70. I didn't realize until an hour later that my finger polish was all bubbly, every finger. I wouldn't go back or recommend. All in all it was an annoying experience. The owner is a nice guy and his nail art is gorgeous (I was watching what he was doing) and if you wanted something super special, he'd be the one to go to...but for a basic mani/pedi? No way. read more

Do yourself a favor and leave your nail tech. You need to go to GDN. I have been seeing him for about a year, he formally worked at rockin' roller salon, but now has his own place! The atmosphere is amazing and relaxing. Staff is always joking around and having a good time! My nails take about 3 weeks before I need a fill in. Most place after a week you need a fill in. I don't know what he does but hes amazing. Ladies go to guys do nails now!!! read more

I absolutely thought I'd already written a rave review for Dynh and all the staff at GDN! They are the BEST nail salon in town. I have always been happy with my manicures and pedicures and Dynh has always been willing to work with me when I'm indecisive about what colors/designs I want (which is often). The staff is professional and talented and I am always telling others that they need to try GDN if they want a fantastic experience! read more

1st of all ... Technicians were great. Very good pedicures. We are giving 2 star review because #1. We paid for paraffin wax (additional $10) & the wax machine would not heat enough wax so as I got my feet done, my husband got 1 foot done. Then about 10 mins later , The wax finally melted and he was able to get his other foot done. The management would not give us any discounts even know it was not as relaxing an experience as we had hope it paid. #2. We did not appreciate that a nail technician sitting across from us was vaping right there at manicure bar. Not cool in a full salon. We are still living though a pandemic & not good seeing such an unhygienic practice. read more

Definitely the coolest atmosphere I've ever experienced in a nail salon! Marie did my gel manicure and it was by far the best manicure I've had! She seemed so focused on making sure my nails were perfect. 5 days later and I seriously haven't been able to stop staring at them! I have never had a favorite nail salon or nail tech until now read more
