I have to say this is my favorite nail salon! I love the employees all so sweet and fun to talk too. Customer service 5 star for sure. The owner she is too sweet also. I always have a great time coming here great to bring friends! They have so many colors for nails too! The interior is so clean and well kept! The massage chairs for getting you pedicure done are so comfy and clean. They also do some great nail art and regular gels very well. I highly recommend coming here again and again. My spot to go to when I'm in town in Columbia. Please make sure to check them out everyone! They are very flexible with appointments so call ahead to get the time you'd like! :) read more

Lovely workers. Kim was really sweet & offered me water. Odalys took her time w/ my nails making sure they were done nicely. read more

Mod Nail Spa - Manicure - Acrylic Powder Fill - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Soooo my gel manicure it self turned out lovely and the price is reasonable!! But there was no hot towel and no scrub or real massage. HOWEVER: the place itself was not what I expected. The smell when you first walk in was super super strong and chemical smelling. It was not super clean and while I understand sometimes childcare isn't available, there was a 3 year old in her tablet very loudly. Just not the environment I think of when I hear: "Mod Nail Spa is for people who love amazing products, quality services, and appreciate a modern relaxing atmosphere! " Long story short: LOVED my tech and her attention to detail. Manicure looks great but this is NOT the place for a super relaxing spa day. read more

My best friend and I went to Mod to get our nails done and left with the best experiences we'd ever had getting them done. The salon is clean and relaxing, and our techs were absolutely fantastic! I had Candace and my friend had Sasha. I can't recommend either of them enough! They were both very gentle and gave us exactly what we asked for, if not a little better. read more

Mod Nail Spa - Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Been going here for years. COVID made the staff smaller so appointments are sometimes harder to get, but they are great.

After reading some reviews and seeing that this nail spa was number one on Yelp, I went and gave them a try. I immediately walked in and was welcomed. I was going in for two nail repairs and a fill in. Kelly had an appointment, but she was willing to do my fill in until her next appointment got there. Kelly repaired two of my nails and did my fill and Ivan polished my nails. I felt right at home. Candace was there as well and I loved her energy. They usually do mostly appointments, but they were willing to work me in and I truly appreciated that. I'll definitely be back! read more

Mod Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I moved to Columbia less than 2 weeks ago, so I had no clue which nail salon to try first. So, I hopped onto Yelp, found Mod, went for a gel fill-in, brow wax & pedi, & LOVED it! The owner, Kim, did my brows & fill-in, & she's so sweet! Her work is wonderful, & so is her work ethic. Since it was my very 1st time at Mod, she explained EVERYTHING: the pricing, exactly how the service was performed, etc. She made me feel very comfortable. Candice did my pedicure, & she was just as nice, funny and professional as Kim! Her massage felt great, too. This is my new nail salon home! read more

Mod Nail Spa - Gel fill-in, French manicure, by Kim - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Had another great pedi there today, this time with Ivan. He's awesome! The staff there is very friendly and professional. Lots of diversity on the staff and in clientele; all are welcome! Make sure you get an appointment, because this place is popular (for good reason). Appointments available by phone or via the website. read more

I didn't know what to expect from having artificial nails (the one time I had them, I HATED them), but Kelly was wonderful! I showed her a picture of what I was hoping for, and she knocked it out of the park. Not only that, but the length was perfect for my wedding (though I think I'll go shorter next time for my day-to-day art teacher life LOL). Overall, a great experience. 10/10. I also had my toes done by Candace a few days before my nails, and that was also a great experience! When I go here, I feel as though I'm amongst friends; they make me feel so welcome! read more

Mod Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Friendly inviting atmosphere and most importantly great service by skilled professionals. Everyone there does a great job. Highly suggest booking online or calling to make an appointment since they are so good they are usually booked solid and can't walk-ins. Prices are reasonable. I come once a month for a gel mani and spa pedicure. Lisa is wonderful and does a great job each time. read more

I got married June 2017 and my bridesmaids and I got our nails done here the day before. I forgot to write a review!!! It was the perfect experience. Kim, the owner, was beyond hospitable, her technicians were professional and friendly, and my nails turned out perfectly. She even gave me my favorite nail color in gel polish as a wedding gift! My girls said that was the best nail experience they've ever had. I just wish I knew more people to refer to Mod Nails! read more

Mod Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I'm unsure if the woman that provided my service was new or not but I added acrylic to my big toenails and wanted white nail polish that total came out to $41. I informed her that it appeared lumpy, she then removed the nail polish and tried filing the nail more. It maybe that she applied the coats of nail polish too thick. Nonetheless, it looked the same way after her second attempt . The lady was sweet but I won't be going back. read more

This is my my absolutely favorite nail salon. I come every two weeks to get a new color of gel Polish and my nails always look amazing. Ivan is the Technician I usually see but everyone there is amazing. When I come for my visit it's like hanging out with friends. Always good conversation, everything is always clean and I look forward to my nail appointment. read more

Mod Nail Spa makes sure you are satisfied with your nails! We had an appointment with Lisa to do my teenage daughter's fill in and polish. I could not sit with her due to the spacing and COVID procedures. I did not know until we got to the car (and I had tipped) that she hated her nails. They were nothing like what she asked for or the picture she showed her (blue nail with black cow pattern) and were poorly done, even after the appointment took an hour and a half. It took convincing for her to go back, but I talked to Ivan and he said Kelly could fix her nails. Kelly did an amazing job making sure she had the time to do a design that my daughter would like. Ivan, Kelly, and Candace all provided lively conversation and treated us like family. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone wanting a manicure. read more

FINALLY! A nail salon that takes pride in the work they do. This salon sets itself apart by using quality products and taking the time to do quality work. It is best to make an appointment here (but I do believe they do their best to work with walk ins) All the staff is friendly, professional and good at what they do. There is a reason their reviews are so high. Sasha does my nails and BLESS THIS QUEEN she is literally the first person in 14 years to do my nails where they don't lift and they looked exactly how I wanted. I have also had pedicures done by other staff members that are flawless. I can not say a bad thing about them. I promise you are wasting your time and money going anywhere else. read more

Mod Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Being military and constantly moving, having to find new personnel for services is extremely difficult. I stumbled across this place, but its hours were just so difficult with my schedule, but I made the time. I am more than satisfied with the service I received, and will be a returning customer. Now with my Ebonics...YAAAAAAASSSSSSSS CHELSEA COME THROOOOOUUUGGHH. YOU SLAYED ON YA GIRL'S FEET. GAVE MY NAILS LIFE HONTEY!! PERFECTION TO THE "T"!!!! Now, being first time I used No Preference because all of the workers received outstanding reviews, but I was with Chelsea, and you can bet your bottom there was no disappointment. Oh, how must I forget. The atmosphere is so welcoming and relaxed with greetings by the staff and jazz playing in the background (they had on some of my fav, Kenny G). None of those hectic waits trying to remember what order who came in and wanting a certain person but getting the other because they are occupied with another customer. Who you select and get is who you will see and when you see, period. read more

Mod Nail Spa - Gel pedicure done with precision. - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Ivan was so great and friendly. Clean salon. I always come here when I'm in town visiting my client. Great pedicure!

Mod Nail Salon can be summed up in 3 words: meticulous, professional, friendly. The professionals there respect appointment times. No walking in and writing on a random notepad then waiting for an hour. They obviously take time time management seriously. It is very easy to book an appointment online. The technicians take great care and pride in their work. When you leave, your nails are actually dry! And they look beautiful. They are quite creative without being tacky. Upon entering you are greeted warmly and that cheery atmosphere does not end. Everyone is gracious and respectful. Give them a try, you will LOVE it. read more

Clean, comfortable and staff is very nice/friendly. Enjoyed my service and appreciated the extra care on my rough feet. Thank you!

I came with my 10 year old. The staff there not very personable. I had to move my car in the middle of my pedicure up a few inches because the fed ex truck couldn't get through because of a poorly designed parking lot. While out the building my daughter said they made fun of me. She was so upset. The staff doing her mani/pedi where rough. Both technicians who did my mani/pedi where more interested in finishing their own nail then working with me. My dip manicure that was more expensive than other locations I've used lasted less than a week before starting to chip off. I will never be a return client. read more

I wasn't impressed with this nail spot . I had an appointment and they didn't make me wait long ( reason for two stars). The black female at the back wall is rude and definitely sucks at nails .. mine lasted for three days .. i had a pedicure with no massage what so ever i won't be back ! read more

Stopped in on my way to Florida to have my nails redone. Kim did a beautiful job. Thank you read more

Mod Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I had some time to kill in Columbia (I came down for a wedding) and decided to get a mani/pedi. Mod Spa had great reviews on Yelp and honestly, I can see why. Not knowing, I made an appointment with the owner to handle my service. From the time I hit the door she was personable and prompt. She was also knowledgeable. She talked to me about some of the advantages of a gel set (I am so rough on traditional nail polish but had never tried gel) and I decided to take the plunge. When she realized I needed to kill more time she offered to let me hang out and use the wifi. Not only is Kim great but her staff and clients are so friendly. I seriously wish I could take everyone with me back to New Haven! read more

Was looking for a new place so I stopped in and I was extremely pleased. Very pleasant staff, knowledgeable, kind and gracious with their time as I asked questions. The place was just so nice! A little more than I thought it would be but clearly you get what you pay for. I will be back and soon. Thank you for a lovely hour of pampering read more

Walked in without an appointment during a busy day. The owner fit me in quickly. Nails look great and the service was professional. I was somewhat surprised checking out at how much the cost was compared to Atlanta salons where I live. - Jeremy's wife read more

I had a great experience here, Kim took such good care of me. I walked in Tuesday and they couldn't fit me in immediately but Kim took my number and said she'd call if there was a cancellation. She did call later but I was busy so I made an appointment for the next day. Day of my appointment I went in 30 min early to soak my gel nails off. They were crazy busy because of Easter but I was taken care of and they listened to everything I asked for. I will DEFINITELY go back to get filled in. They take walk-ins if there's an open artist, but making an appointment online is the best and easiest way to make sure you don't have to wait or come back later. read more

They very were inviting! They were professional. And they paid attention to detail in every sense of the word! They made it clear to me that regardless of what the task is one should always strive for excellence!

Came here on a Friday afternoon (1pm) as a walk-in, and was seated within 5 minutes for a spa pedicure. My nail Technician Bryant was very nice. He made me feel very comfortable, and made my nail experience enjoyable. The shop is small, and quaint. They had some nice jazz playing, and conversation flowing throughout the shop. When first arriving Bryant took the time to show me what colors were in for the season. After my pedicure, I decided to see if I could possibly squeeze in a full set. They tried to even make room on a busy Friday to fit me in but I later declined, only because I have an event to attend in a couple of weeks so I'll just wait until then, and respectfully set an appointment. Nothing bad to say about this shop. You'll enjoy your spa pedicure. I'll post about my fill in experience in a couple of weeks. read more

Manicure and pedicure services were great! All of the staff were so friendly! The salon was very clean! Would definitely recommend this salon. read more

Okay, I have ALWAYS had a horrible time with fake nails. I've always thought something was wrong with my nails, because they've ALWAYS start lifting after about four days, no matter where I've gone (and I've gone many places in different cities and states). I usually end up ripping them off after five days, max. For the first time ever, I got nails done that didn't start lifting until 11 days later... I actually kept the nails on for 13 days straight! They are strong and sturdy and looked nice the entire time. Great job, and will return when I need nails again! read more

Amazing! Kim did a wonderful job on my nails and was very kind. She was easy to talk to and checked several times to make sure I was happy. Very clean, tons of options for my nails, definitely five stars! read more

I have lived in Columbia for over a year and have been to so many places with such terrible results...... AND THEN I FOUND Mod Nail Spa!!!!! I wished I had known about this place sooner! I called that morning and spoke with Kim and she told me she would work me in around lunchtime and when I walked in, I immediately felt at ease. It's smaller, cozy, clean, and well-decorated. I felt like I was in a spa! Kim showed me the gel polish colors and within about five minutes I was seated and started on the gel polish manicure. We chatted casually and within less than half hour I had stunning nails! Then Ivan took me over for my pedicure and it was lovely! Honestly, I have found my home-nail salon!!! FINALLY!!!!! I am so pleased with the staff, the salon, and my beautiful results! read more

I was a walk in and even though I did not have an appointment Ivan took me and I had a wonderful pedicure! I would definitely recommend the "Full" pedicure! read more

Loved this little nail salon and look forward to going back to get a pedicure and manicure. Their chairs for the pedicure work like a beast so the massage was lovely! read more

I tried mod spa on a whim one day for a gel manicure. I was unimpressed with the professionalism of the staff and the cramped atmosphere. They didn't have many gel colors to choose from and when I left my nails were all different lengths. read more

When I moved to Columbia, I was browsing the Internet for a new salon. I'm incredibly happy that I picked this one on my first try. Everyone is very friendly, welcoming, and talented. You can tell when you're in there that many people are frequent customers. With that in mind, I would suggest an appointment. It's very easy to make an appointment via their website as well, which is great. read more

I visited Mod Nail Spa for the first time yesterday and was extremely impressed. I felt welcome, and Kim took great care of me. I made a reservation online and they were prompt with the start and end times, so I could plan accordingly. Great color selection as well! I will be returning, and highly recommend this nail salon. read more
