Been coming to Modern Nails for about 5 years. My grandmother, mother, and my daughter are also customers. It's good quality service.

Walked right in and received great pedi service and CS. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff is always nice and professional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I really enjoyed my time at modern nails.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The people they are always very nice and very accommodating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only thing that I would change would probably be that I'd like my feet to soak a little longer before they start to work on them. Maybe like five minutes would be nice. But [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, everything was pretty awesome.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazing service been here twice and they are my new permanent nail place since relocating to NC![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I had my nails done for maybe a week and the acrylic was chipping really bad along the sides and tip of my nails. I went in today hoping they would fix the issue because it's clearly an issue with the acrylic. I asked if they could just fix the problem they asked if I wanted to do a new set I said yes. In the process of him taking the acrylic off of my nails he breaks a nail and the rest of my nails are super tender from him basically ripping the acrylic off. I kept moving my hand and saying ouch, and he finally decided to soak them. Even after soaking he used the drill on my nails, which made them really sensitive just to turn around and get charged $60. I thought I had found a new place to get my nails done close to home but today was my last time coming here. read more

I'm new to Durham so I am trying to find a new place to veg my brows waxed. I went in and when the lady did it she left a whole area of hair that should've been waxed / plucked. When she went to fix it she barely got it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I asked for the tweezers and she wouldn't allow it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also, THEY REUSE THE STRIPS AND STICK!!! Very very unsanitary practices. read more

David did an awesome job with my pedicure! My feet look amazing! You want regret going. Pleasant atmosphere!!! Heynow!!!

Service was fast with great final results definitely my favorite set in a while will be back

THEY USE MMA!! DONT GO HERE. they don't even do soak offs! they just rip the nail off!! horrible and they over charge

Eye brow wax was perfection, nails perfect -- however, the pedicure was horrible, within a week the gel nail polish on 3 different nails on three different days, just fell off. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Each time I went back for the repair, no explanation, no apology- nothing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Today another toe- the polish just came off -- I can not continue to go back and forward for repairs -- I think by the end of the week all 10 toes will probably need to be repaired. This pedicure was an absolute waste of money and my time. Modern Nail should do better and atleast explain what happened and re-do the polish. I believe that the technician did not use a base coat -- read more

They over charged and charge me something I didn't ask for, and they didn't did a great job on the pedicure. They charge extra for everything I had a bad experience don't recommend this place!!! read more

Great service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really enjoyed my experience today as always.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would recommend this nail salon to family and friends read more

Prices a lot high and the time you spend in there will vary. Sometimes a pedicure will take 40 mins. Sometimes it takes 1 hour 15mins. Large environment, very clean, very organized. Lots and lots of polish colors! Always get a great service no matter who does it. read more

Nail technician was thorough and gentle. Had the milk and honey spa pedicure treatment. Great job cleaning my cuticles. Ambiance felt like any other typical nail salon. Appreciate their cleanliness. read more

They are always nice and nail does a great job !! Hanna always does a good job and she's always smiling and I come all way from Raleigh just to come to them read more

Worst experience ever!! The nail tech I had(a guy) was pretty much rushing through my fill in. I wanted a French look with a yellow color, he didn't hesitate to do it but the finished product was a mess! When I pointed out things I didn't like, he seemed to get annoyed or irritated to the point where I just wanted to leave. Very distasteful. I understand a busy establishment. I waited patiently for 20 mins before someone sat in front of me. But I didn't complain, I just wish I could've gotten what I paid for without the bitching.. read more

Modern Nails - No shape and very lumpy. A waste of $40. - Nail Salons Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

This place was great. Easy to make an appointment online. Walked in, was greeted, and quickly they were ready for me. Technicians were nice and efficient. I like that they let my feet soak as long as possible (some places seem to really rush this). Incredibly affordable (for I think $45 you get a deluxe spa pedicure). Super comfy pedicure chairs. Fingernail polish did chip quickly but this is the first time I've gotten regular polish instead of gel and I think that just comes with the territory. I've previously gone to Eden Nails in Durham which is also nice, but charges way more and probides slightly worse service. read more

I received the most painful manicure and pedicure I have ever gotten. I appreciate them being quick with my pedicure and manicure. However, since the nail technician was rushing he made me bleed on several of my fingers and toes. On top of that, he did not wipe off the blood nor put anything on it to cover it. He proceeded to pour something that had alcohol on it so it hurt a lot. I do not see myself ever returning to this establishment. read more

very friendly and did a great job! I got a pedicure and a nail fill in. They have hundreds of colors to choose from!

This place is amazing. If you have any problems with your feet. Micheal and the whole crew will work magic. You will nails and feet will look and feel amazing read more

Pedicure by Andrew. Really good, thorough job. It was nice and quiet today in the salon. Relaxing.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I decided to try this place again after a bad experience. So let's rewind to 2014... when I got a fungus here from unclean pedicure bowls. I decided to try them again for a fill in with gel polish. I normally go to someone else but I had to cancel my appointment due to me not being able to go at that time. The fill in itself was ok... however her polish technique was terrible. I always get gel polish. Let me tell you... my nail polish was chipping and coming off the next day. It looks so bad! I don't know what kind of gel powder, or base/top coats they use... but it's terrible. I have NEVER had gel polish come off my nails in the 6 years I've been getting it. Won't be going back... fool me twice, shame on me... won't get me again! read more

I had a regular simple manicure with clear polish/ BUT, I am obsessed with having my cuticles cut a lot. Sue did just THAT. The place is clean , neat and modern. I highly recomnend. read more

Do not go here. I was cut multiple times on my cuticles, rushed through the whole process, and did not ask anything about my nails. Whenever my fingers bled, the nail tech proceeded to paint over the blood from my cuticles. I left the place and my nails physically hurt. On top of that, I was over charged for a horrible service. For my pedicure, I waited over 30 minutes in the water before anyone came to my seat. Will not be returning. Please do not go here if you do not have to. read more

amazing service and always friendly. the salon is always clean. been going here for over 7 years now.

Modern Nails I will never ever step foot back into this establishment. I went to get a routine fill-in walked out feeling like my nails went through surgery. My cuticles were bleeding from the electric tool that the nail tech used and my nails were hurting afterwards. Not only that but 3 days later my nails started to split in the middle ( which is very painful)and 3 of them came off while I was doing my hair. I went in on Monday January 17th just to receive poor service with nasty attitudes (from the older lady that sits at station 1)and no apologies for the damages of my nails. The lady at station 1 says have a seat and has me to soak my damaged nails, she then tells me "after you soak your nails here's a paper towel for you to wipe the polish off." That caught me off guard because I'm not employed at Modern Nails and no professional nail technician has ever asked me to service myself. While I'm soaking my nails the guy at station 4 says "Get up and come sit here" he then proceeds to tell me he has to charge me for a service that I paid for 3 days ago... I have been coming to Modern Nails for over 9 years and should have stopped coming to this disrespectful establishment back in 2018 when the professional service started to decline. I've watched the nail techs treat their customers differently if they didn't know who you were.. Not Once have they ever offered me a bottle of water or soda but I've watch them offer older customer the world... Modern Nails you really need to hire some professional nail technicians. read more

I got the worst pedicure I paid $120 in all because I got my nails done too but all I asked for was a simple green French tip the lady could barley understand me did a rush job because they were closing I asked her to do a fill in if needed but she failed to do so but y'all expect a tip and people to pay for terrible quality service read more

Modern Nails - This is how they looked after I got them done ‍ - Nail Salons Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Great service every time. I always receive the care and attention for the nails that I ask for. The staff is always attentive to the people that walk in no matter what they're doing just to see what it is they need and are so polite about things. Never have had a long wait time even when I have no appointment and am just a walk in. Nails are always good and long lasting even if it's sns or gel on acrylics and the shape is always what I ask for. read more

Homophobia alert!....While waiting for a pedicure, two women came in and the two male manicurists proceeded to work on them...while I had been waiting for more than 1/2 hour. When I asked why the women were take before me, I was told that the men don't work on men. The owner had no answer when I asked her why (we are talking about feet here, people.) Now I know that there aren't too many men who get pedicures or manicures but if you have any feelings for gay rights you will avoid this place or any other nail salon that has this policy. It's a shame because I have been coming to Modern nails for years and have been very happy with their services before this. read more

This used to be my place but it depends on who you get. If I get the older gentleman that works in the front I usually kindly ask to wait because the quality is consistently not well. He had done a pedicure once and manicure twice and both times my nails are sloppy and chip in day two. The time before this the lady who did my eyebrows had to get a file to fix his work after he was done! Why one star? I go in on day two after the second manicure just to get the two nails that are chipped fixed and their response is NO not today. I never assumed I wouldn't have to pay, just a flat out NO not today. That is by far horrible customer service. They know I was there 2 days ago because I was there until 8:30 and was one of the last people there. I come here often. One would think that if your customer comes in with a problem to at least see if you can fix it! When she saw my face she said, come back in 40 minutes! My response, no thank you! Only use if desperate! read more
