I've been going here for pedicures for years . The service is always great . today I decided to get a gel mani as well . It's cute but I noticed after I got home that my finger was bleeding a lot . When I was initially cut I didn't feel it which is why I didn't say anything before leaving . This is not to knock the business or nail tech , I just feel as if this is a very rookie mistake . You know how bad you have to cut someone on their cuticle for the blood to be on the nail ? Edit : 3 days later and my gel manicure is already peeling read more

Good service, fair price. I came here for the first time and was impressed. They have many working and many chairs available. I came a Friday afternoon and they got me in right away. The lady who did my nails was very thorough and really cleaned my nails up well. I will be more observant next time regarding how sanitary it is. The only thing I did not like using for my gel manicure was the UV light to dry them. I asked if there was another method but they said that is all they have. Very professional, my nails look good. read more

I asked for was decent service a basic pedicure includes scrubbing why didn't I get a full foot scrub? One coat of polish really read more

I went to My Bella Nail Bar today for the first time at the suggestion of a coworker. I overheard the receptionist speaking in a condescending tone as she talked with several of the clients. When it was my turn to interact with her, she was short/tempered and unfriendly. She gave me the price for the services I asked about prior to sitting down with the technician. I waited 30 minutes before being seated to get my nails done. The service was okay...just 'okay'. After my nails were finished the technician told me I owed $25 over the price I was originally quoted. If you're a first-timer, please be careful and extremely clear about the services you want. I saw at least two people get to the check out desk, along with myself, and question the price of the services they received. Also, bring cash! Apparently, you receive a 5% discount if you pay with cash instead of using a credit card which will cost you regular price. ‍ read more

First couple times I went nails stayed on for a month however this time when I went with my grandma again neither of us were very satisfied they couldn't do my toes because I had an ingrown which I understood and I waited over an hour to get my nails done lady came and got me and was about to start and then stated she couldn't do my nails and I would have to wait even longer because her appointment was coming in 30 mins early so I sat with my grandma as she was getting her nails done Winnie was my tech and they looked great after she finished however I had to go back after a day because my left pointer nail popped off and now my right pointer nail popped off after 4 days and this never happens they are supposed to last about 2-3 weeks and they always last me a month I literally have to pry them off they stay on so well however this time it's like they are press on nails and won't stay on very disappointed to have paid $78 for nails that won't stay on. Also I'm not doing anything to break the nail I just placed my hand on my kitchen table and the nail tapped the table and off went the nail. So this will be my 2nd time returning to get a nail replaced bc they keep popping off which is very irritating and time consuming when I paid to get them done correctly the first time. Also was not offered any wine or drinks like usual and they were really loud about my toenail situation which was kind of embarrassing. Winnie was very sweet though I liked her just wished the nails were done correctly and stayed on I'm nervous all the other ones are gonna keep popping off. read more

The previous ratings on this shop do not correlate with my experience here. This could be to be booking with the same Nail Technician every time. I have been coming here for over a year and Jen is the only person I go to. Her shaping is impeccable, which I am really big on. There's nothing worst than unevenly shaped nails & the nails that do not look the same & she has no issues recreating any design you bring to her. If you hesitate about the shop, I suggest booking with her. Can be very busy on the weekends but I came today at 1:30, so it was pretty empty - only three people at the time. Came in for my pedicure and I was seated immediately. Plenty of pedicure chairs & a full staff. Full variety of colored acrylic and polish read more

Love this nail salon! I've been going here prior to them even opening this location. My nail tech, Jen, is always up for any challenging design I being to her and she has no problem replicating them. I am big on looking up new designs on Pinterest, for every holiday, season or whim I may have and she is always up to try it! I am even comfortable with letting her do her own thing, or put her own spin on a design. Lana, the owner is always so pleasant. All of the staff is when you're in their shop. They're located in a shopping plaza so there are always lots of parking options. The salon is always clean and even when they're busy, they do a pretty good job at trying to get you in an out as quickly as possible, while still treating you with care. I also get my eyebrows waxed and tinted here. I have no complaints about the service I receive and will likely follow them to a third location if they were to ever move again! read more

i'm just gonna say this save your money or go somewhere else that actually care about and are happy to because this is the second time that I've scheduled an appointment for something so minor and had to hour and they had no remorse. I had a 5 PM appointment for a color change on my I end up getting the same it down and put clear coat. I got there for seen till 6 PM for that appointment and then it was almost 630 for my 530 appointment for lashes and eyebrows and I still pay $40 full price for the service that I didn't get for a whole hour and these people are not happy to see you but you're giving them a hard on money and they do not care about your service you come out looking they don't care if you're happy or anything. They just want the money so please save a trip. Don't go here at all. read more

I'll start with the pros... the pedicure and manicure was a nice experience... I appreciated the tech taking her time to massage my feet and hands especially with me getting a gel manicure. Often when I go somewhere they skip the traditional manicure process for gel so I was pleased that they did that. Now for the cons... the paint job was pretty bad for both my hands and feet... it looked like I tried to paint my own nails. With my manicure I started to bleed due to her cutting too deep with my cuticles. She did put the blue stuff on there and tried to stop the bleeding but it kept bleeding. What I didn't like was how, to me, precautions weren't being taken once I had an open wound to make sure there was no cross contamination... you paint my nails and place it back in the jar to be used again? Also the cuticle oil was used and that brush was also placed back in the jar. The blood had to be cleaned off my nail Bc it was pretty much settling in the gel polish. I was visibly upset and all I kept getting was I'm sorry. I let the lady know when I was about to pay and she had to attempt to treat my finger again bc it was still bleeding. No discount or anything for this mishap. I will not be returning simply bc I don't think they are sanitary or take extra care of customers when they make them bleed. read more

This was the first nail salon I've tried in university and I have yet to find a better one in the area. If you're in a rush, I would advise to go early in the week because there's always a full crowd. Luckily they do have a big staff so they do try their best to get all of their clients done in a timely manner. From the many flat screen TVs to the pretty decor surrounding the studio, it's very pleasing to look at while you're getting serviced. The place alone makes your experience 10x better. PROS: they have a variety of complimentary drinks you can choose ( wine & non alcoholic) , there's plenty of parking , & they now have a reward system for every time you get serviced ( pretty cool) I always feel refreshed once my service is done read more

I enjoyed my experience here at Bella Nail Bar. It has been a long while that I had experienced a nail salon visit that didn't make me feel looked over or rushed. I waited about 20 minutes as I walked in without an appointment. I got the pleasure of getting a nail tech by the name of Sam. Sam was very nice and took his time with my nails, making them exactly how I asked. I also had in mind a specific nail style that I showed Sam and he was able to bring that design to life. I was done with a full set and design all under 2 hours. I wasvery pleased with my service and for the consideration of my time. Since going I broke one nail and Sam fixed it for me with no complaints and free of charge. My type of nail salon service. Bella Nails in University is officially my go to nail salon. Thank you for your service and making me feel important. read more

My Bella Nail Bar - Marble accent over natural pink gel - Nail Salons Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

So I was referred by my daughter n law to see Mama B and Jen. I got the regular pedicure and a full set. Mama Bee did my pedi and I was disappointed. So let's back up I was called because my appt was pushed back because another client was late, the reason I know is because I knew the late client and she said I'm late and Jen is going to get me and I said to her oh you're the reason my appt was pushed back? Ok so I received a regular pedi and I've been getting my pedi's done for years to know that the person providing service is supposed to scrub your feet with that square pad. Mama Bee only did my toes she didn't scrub the sides or my heels, she said I didn't get the right pedi and that my feet are peeling and I did t need them scrub because it might start to bleed! Like lady what are you talking about?! So I mentioned everything to Jen and she stopped me while I was talking and said I didn't do your pedi and that she don't do pedi's so she don't know what I was supposed have done. I said everyone knows a regular pedi come with the scrub why would I pay 45 for you to put my feet on water, take off my polish and polish with gel I could have just got a polish change. Just rushed and dis the bare minimum so they can get you to upgrade your service! Jen even got aggravated because she wanted me to take my hands out the uv light before the timer went off and I kindly told her no, I like for the timer to go off so my polish don't chip . She had the receptionist call another client to push her time back! Poor girl need to get her time management together so she don't be so tired. You can also tell who the regulars are they treat them better. Just a bad experience! I didn't receive a discount or anything for my time and or not having a service completed all they did was talk in their language to each other! I told Jen and the receptionist they have poor customer service and I will not be back. She read more

I like the Salon ultimately. The location is on a shopping plaza with sufficient parking. Inside of the shop is beautifully decorated. I love the theme of a "nail bar," You are offered beverages including wine, which is always a plus in my book. I got the deluxe pedicure which is well worth the additional $10, and a gel manicure. My personal experience with my tech was good and I would have rated a 5 Except... The Male Tech in Chair 15 had poor customer service and was being chaotic with his customer and another customer. His client complained about something he did and he immediately said something to his peer in his native tongue. Naturally she thought he may have said something about her. The customer next to him was polite in explaining to him why she felt that way, but he was being rude. Then he kept egging her on in the conversation. He could have ultimately been nicer, explained he wasn't talking about her, & apologized. But he wanted to argue. I had him previously and did not like his work. It felt rushed and he had extra polish everywhere. So I would avoid his chair. read more

Updated Review Only 4 days after having the full set acrylics with gel on I had 2 nails totally fall off! Extremely unhappy as I got them done for a cruise and now I'm left with them like this until I return. These always last at least 3 weeks without any fill-ins and a couple months without the tips at other places. 4 DAYS and they are already falling off... not recommending them for acrylic nails. My toes still do look good which is why I gave them 2 stars. read more

Service isn't the best and the work is mediocre I had to continuously had to tell the nail tech my French tip was lumpy on top of her trying to charge me more money. Rushed my pedicure and swapped technicians. I was told she had an appointment but not from her, I was not offered the normal water or wine. I would NOT go back! read more

SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! Literally the worse experience I've ever had! I've come here several times before and never had an issue, today I came in for a pedicure that took over 2hrs and left with paint on my skin, my pedicure was messy and my toe nails actually hurt. I let them know in the beginning that the paint was messed up and she waited until after she cured the paint to try and fix it. I let the manager know I was unhappy with the service, she further tried to fix it and only made the pain worse!! Then argued with me about the horrible service I received. I will never come back here again and if you want to save yourself time and money DO NOT COME HERE!!! read more

What a hidden gem this place is!! Today is self care day and with this I don't go cheap. This is my first time trying this place and we'll I already love it. The music, the people, the vibe!! They offer a variety of services and have enough chairs to support number of people that walk-in. Each staff and customer wear masks, I mean it is a pandemic right. Televisions to entertain and the people are down right friendly. I'm sitting in the chair giving my feet some much needed self care and I'm loving it. What a gem I found here at My Bella!!! Now it really is My Bella. read more

My Bella Nail Bar - Pedicure time - Nail Salons Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Do not come here. Their techs and management have poor customer service and quality. They took my day from good to bad. A friend referred me here so I booked an appointment with Jen for SNS dip powder for a Friday (booked 4 days in advance - the appointment portal is very easy to use). The receptionist was very kind and helped orient me to colors. I should've known my service was going to be questionable when Jen started and stopped my nails twice to help other customers. But I was patient and eager to get my nails done, so I didn't mind (I rarely get my nails done). So as Jen proceeded to file my right hand, she was extremely rough and careless and cut my skin on 3 of my fingers. I jerked back each time and expressed discomfort but she didn't apologize or anything. As she buffed and filed my nails with the machine, she frequently kept going around my nail hitting my finger bc she was rushing and talking with a friend. After she completed the SNS I noticed many incomplete areas that didn't have the final coat on it. Strikes 1 and 2. Next I proceed to get a pedicure from Peter. As he is cutting the cuticle on my right big toe, he cuts too fair and cuts my skin so deep. He apologized, added some liquid to stop the bleeding and proceeded to the other toes. Now he begins to buff, similar to Jen, he begins chatting with another tech and doesn't pay attention and buffs my big toe so hard that it catches the cut and rips is even more. Now my toe is dripping blood and I am holding back tears. He tries to stop the bleeding but he did nothing to clean the area. At that moment I should have told him to stop with the service. Instead of cleaning the area, he puts polish around the old blood outlining my toe. Then proceeds to give me a bill for the full service. No way. Strike 3. I ask the receptionist to speak to the manager and I proceed to explain my frustration with the situation. She empathizes with me and goes to get the manager. However, the manager NEVER came out to speak to me. She/he only relayed a msg thru the receptionist. Terrible. The receptionist says they will give me 20% off and have another tech who is more "careful" and "detailed oriented" to clean the blood off my toe. Then to put icing on the cake, she charged my card twice. She forgot to add the discount so she charged me full price then had to void the transaction and charge me the correct discounted price. Anyway, I waited more than 10 minutes for the new tech and she never came bc she was still with another client. So I left to go home to clean my toe myself. After I shared with my friend who referred me my experience, she said she isn't returning there because they gave her poor customer service the last couple of times she was there. Very long story to say, do not come here. read more

My Bella Nail Bar has a very nice set up and is in a nice location. This nail salon is where the old Todays nails used to be. The guy at the front desk was not very nice but I was serviced by a very nice guy. I went in for a pedicure and it was very relaxing. The nail technician wasn't the best at painting nails but I was more so there for the nice massage. I will be back if I need a quick pedicure. Overall it's a good nail salon. read more

****Update: unfortunately I noticed the quality of my nails start to decrease within the week. I've noticed multiple depressions throughout the acrylic, which makes them look rough and uneven. In addition, the acrylic started to lift. Good quality acrylic does not do this. Super bummed because everything else was excellent, as I noted before. **** I just moved into the area, From Tampa FL, so I'm a long way from "home". It took me years to find a saloon/nail tech who I LOVED. I'm super picky. I was worried I wouldn't be able to find a great Salon. I was wrong! This place is great! Friendly, accommodating, and quick! They have a ton of different colorsI was treated by Tommy, who repeatedly asked me if I "loved" what he was doing. He also, let me know that I could have whatever I wanted, if I needed something shorter or changed to just let him know. Yes! Excellent costumer service! I will definitely be back ! read more

Thought I had found a reliable and capable nail salon but no. I usually go here for gel pedicures and they are A1 but today I went for a deluxe manicure and it was a disaster. My first nail tech was very rough on my cuticles in pressure and cutting. He made me bleed and was apologetic but nonchalant. I got switched to another tech and she was good but I felt like she rushed my manicure because she had a client waiting. However, no discount was offered or retribution for my horrible experience. Unfortunately I will not be back. Sorry not sorry read more

The male nail technician did such a horrible rushed job on my full set. The nails were not files correctly, i had them removed the same day because they were so sloppy and uneven. I asked for almond shape and this looks like mountain peak. He was friendly but I do not recommend going there for a quick 20 min sloppy service. read more

The nail artists are great. I usually leave satisfied w my nails and if I'm not, they will fix them. However, they need to do better with scheduling. I scheduled my pedicure w the receptionist a day before. When I arrived for my appt at 6, I saw people waiting. Told her I had an appointment and she walked me to a seat. I thought this meant I was about to be serviced, but I just waited there for 45 min... I am especially patient w service workers but a 45 min wait for a scheduled pedicure is ridiculous. Spent more time because they couldn't find the color I wanted and even asked me to look for it . I ended up just getting a color change bc the wait took so long. Would have preferred to just be scheduled at a later time... They offered me $5 off my next pedicure. I'm gonna use whatever points I have in their rewards and then I won't be back read more

October 8,2018 My mom set up an appointment with Wayne to get a fill-in for my SNS. When I arrived I was greeted and asked if I wanted beverage. Wayne was very quick but did not rush. He gave me the perfect nail shape (square but not rounded at the top) and also fixed my nail that had broken off days before my appointment. This was my first time at the salon and I would highly recommend anyone to go there. The staff is very polite and I enjoyed my visit! read more

This was my 3rd visit to Bella's. At check in I requested a pedicure with gel polish and nail polish change. I was here less than 2 weeks ago for a fill. Unfortunately, my polish has already stated to chip. After an extensive wait I went to the receptionist to ask if a tech would come over to polish my nails. The receptionist asked Jen to polish my nails -Jen rudely implied that my wait time was sufficient. When I questioned her remark she became defensive. I won't be patronizing this salon again. read more

My Bella Nail Bar - Sam does the best shaping! I always love them! - Nail Salons Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Love the entire atmosphere and process at this nail salon. They have a sign in kiosk computer, you type in the last four digits of your # after you've registered, what services you are getting and you can also request a specific person. You get points after each service that after so many points you get money off your services. While all of the employees are amazing, I truly have to brag about Winnii. She does an amazing job on my nails and her creativity is the bomb when it comes to nail designs. She's definitely a people person and makes your entire experience one in which you would want to come back and visit. If you're looking for a great person for a pedicure Tianna is the person. She doesn't overdo your pedicure. I've had experiences where the cut too short or file too rough. She's perfect and polishes very well. Please give My Bella a try, you won't be disappointed read more

If you live in or near uncc and wanna get a mani pedi or whatever it is u like definitely go to my Bella nail bar. They are always so kind and upbeat!

Always a pleasure with the employees every time I visit. And always pleased with my nail service. They always love my ideas lol.

I decided to visit another location if this nail salon to further review them and my findings were even more shocking. 1. This nail salon lowballs customers at every opportunity. I asked specifically how much a nail removal service would be besides "at least $5" .After telling them my budget was $35, they suggested I get "dip powder". I told them I hadn't received the service before but I had a cut on my finger that was actively bleeding, so if I did receive dip powder it would have to be as safe as possible. I was also told my nails would cost $35 indefinitely. Long story short, while filing my hangnail ripped, was bleeding and they stil dipped my finger into the dip powder, COMPLETELY ignoring my request for a more sanitary service. 2. I got to the register and was charged $55, for bogus charges. Initially they told me with dip powder, the soak off was free, but I was charged $10 for it. Then they charged me for $10 for shape which I know is bogus because my nails were extremely short and straight. Also, they knew exactly how long and the shape when the told me I was gonna get charged $35. The asked for an itemized receipt and they couldn't provide details on why the dip powder was $55 on the receipt. These people are scammers and are extremely unsanitary. Please do not receive dip powder services from them. read more
