I've been coming to Nail Center for years so it makes me sad to write this. My gel mani and regular pedi with tom was extremely disappointing. No cuticles were cut for either my fingers or my toes. Never cleaned out under the nails either. The nails were filed extremely unevenly... I think I have to go home and re-file everything. My massages were so rough I thought I was going to leave with bruises. i asked for the color to be matching on my fingers and toes. the polishes were taken from the same box but they are not the same color. Polish was applied so quickly hardly giving even 30 sec to dry between coats. edges of the nail have no polish on them. The surface of the nails feels rough and bubbly and when I expressed this concern, they were quickly filed over and the problem is not fixed. Both services were finished in just over an hour. these photos were taken immediately after leaving the salon. read more

Unfortunately, I didn't get the name of the person who did my pedicure, but when she clipped my nails she drew blood and when she filed the nails I was in pain. Then she used her fingernails to clear excess nail polish (from under my nails?!?!) and the nail polish was already smudged and did not fully cover the nails. read more

If you're looking for a great nail and lash spot, look no further! I had a wonderful experience here last Friday. They take COVID restrictions seriously and everything was setup for appropriate blocking and social distancing. The ambiance is really pretty and I was helped the second I walked in. Lots of available parking in the lot (please note it is one way in and out around the building) and conveniently located off the first street off of 695. There is a special going on right now for an $89 full set of classic lash extensions. Tori did a wonderful job and it only took about an hour (far shorter than the last time I got a full set from another place). I plan to visit again in the future with my daughters to get manis/pedis. read more

My 101-year-old mother came for a pedicure with her home health care aide. Over the telephone, I had been quoted $25 for this service. Later, the home health care aide called to ask how much the service would be with gel polish included. She was quoted a total price of $53 for the pedicure with gel polish. The home health care aide reported that she observed the owner, after sizing up my exceedingly elderly mother, whisper to the operator. After the service was completed, the home health care aide, acting responsibly, asked to verify what was owed. Suddenly, the price had jumped to $75! The home health care aide phoned me about the Nail Center evidently trying to put one over on my mother. As if magically, as soon as the owner heard me say I would call my son who has legal experience, call the Better Business Bureau , and certainly never return, the price reverted to $55. What kind of business owner attempts to gouge the very elderly? Do not patronize this business. And certainly do not let your elderly mother go there! read more

I go to Cindy, the owner, for pedicures and she is first rate. She never hurts me and does a beautiful painting job! I love going to the Nail Center! read more

Every time I go to N.C I'm treated like a queen! I have been going to Cindy for many years. My sister ,my sister in law , cousins and friends. I get the powder dip and my nails grow so much Cindy needs to file them down. Walk-in or call I'm always seen. Now my nails are short again to keep them healthy, to start over. My toes nails I get OPI and it stays on for many weeks. Cindy shared with me light colors are best. They don't cause white spotlights and lines on my toes. "O" I love the ombré colors that blend so nicely. read more

They did a terrible job the shape was absolutely terrible the color was terrible even the massage as I do at the end hurt DO NOT RECCOMEND . read more

Tori is awesome!!!! I come here to get my eyelash extensions and I couldn't be happier. I live over an hour away but she makes the travel worth it! She is so polite and the salon is so inviting! The eyelash/wax room is off in a separate room with a door so there is no interference. The chair is heated and soft, the room is filled with relaxing music.... I have fallen asleep plenty of times in the middle of my fill. Great experience, always look forward to my lash fill days! :) Also... had my eyebrows waxed last time I was there and they looked great too! Kept the shape I love and low in cost! Thanks again Tori! LOVE my lashes!! read more

I got my nails done by Tina on 4/17/2021 I explained when I got there what I wanted . She stated ok . I wanted my base color to be white and every other tip to be pink and blue . Unfortunately I had to return 4/18/2021 due to my thumb chipping . When I arrived she was available. Another lady came over and stated that it's a design and that I would have to pay $10 for a chipped thumb . I stated no I just was here yesterday and Tina did not once mention to me that a line on the tip of my nails was a design , unfortunately Tina would not give me a pink tip . So due to Tina not knowing the prices of services , I left with one white thumb & I will not be back because at that point your penny pinching , and expecting me to know prices . Tina should have been accountable for not knowing the prices of services and letting me know that next time I would have to pay more if I wanted that but no unfortunately on top of that it's 4/19/2021 and that same thumb is chipped . DO NOT GO HERE !!!! read more

My favorite place to get dip powder done! Tina does an amazing job every time and works very quickly/efficiently. She removed my past dip powder, put on tips, AND applied the powder all within an hour! I've been places where that whole process takes closer to 2 hours. I leave with my nails looking flawless and natural; she knows exactly what she's doing. read more

Racist! Only 1 nail tech out of the many that weren't busy offered to do my nails and the rest looked annoyed and gave not so nice looks while speaking in their language. The nails were okay and not spectacularly either. If you're African American find somewhere else to go, they don't want you there. Well maybe now they're desperate after the Covid shutdown so they might treat you good now if you're black but I won't be back to find out SMH! read more

I stopped in because I saw the sign that they were now open and I figured I would give it a try. I was seated right away even though the place was busy. But my technician had a sour demeanor (I have bad nails but she made me feel really bad about them). I don't think the tools were sanitized. She came with a basket of files and tools but with no proof they had been sanitized. She was rough when cutting my cuticles. I don't think she even took off the old polish. No oil. No towels when washing hands at the sink (she brought a heated towel but still I had to walk from the sink with dripping wet hands. I did not like my experience and would not be back. read more

I really love this nail salon. Tina is the best manicurist. The place is clean, and everyone is nice.

A friend told me about the precautions they take in this salon regarding Covid-19. Of course everyone wears masks. They hav shower curtains between each pedicure chair. The nail technician sits behind a plexiglass barrier. I only got a pedicure this time as this was my first venture out into the Covid world since early March. I will definitely go back. read more

This was my second time here at this nail salon. For my birthday, my fiancé booked a pedicure appointment for me. Cindy the owner took care of me. She was so nice and she did a fantastic job. On a whim, I also opted to get lash extensions. and Lori took such care of me!! I love my lashes and can't wait to go back to get my nails done. So far, they have exceeded my expectations! read more

I would not go back here. The attention to detail is just not there. I had someone start my dip manicure and then had someone else finish it because the first person clearly did not know how. Overall terrible and not a great experience. If you want a really great professional job, I don't think this is the place. read more

lady hurt me- she burned me with the towels, and she cut me with the drill. took a long time and I didn't like the shape they did and very expensive read more

This place is a hidden gem in Pikesville. I've been going to Tori for lash extensions for several months and she is amazing! The salon is very nice and clean. Service is always courteous. I always appreciate when I'm acknowledged as soon as I walk in even if they are busy at the moment. Tori is always on time. She truly takes my natural lashes into consideration in order to pair me with extensions that they can handle so they last a while. The service is done in a relaxing private facial room that often puts me to sleep. Pricing is super affordable and they seem to be running specials very often! The specials however only seem to be posted at the store. read more

Made an appointment for two pedicures. Got there right on time with my daughter and we were told it would be a 10 minute wait. Then, they only had one man to do pedicures so the did one at a time. He did a fine job, but nothing worthy of $29 for a pedicure. read more

I learned something today. And through the grace of Yelp, I would like to share my golden nugget of knowledge with the rest of you SF Yelpers so that you may learn from my mistakes. GET YOUR PEDI'S DONE BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE CITY! Granted, my tootsies were not in critical need of buffing and polishing, but a pedi seemed like a good self-indulgence and time waster. But not for $32! No Mani. Just Pedi! And by pedi I mean a basic, bare bones, no frills, only buffed the top of my nails and had to ask her 3x to trim my toenails (what the hell? So gross- is this how they do in Bmore? Keep growing toenails so long they can be used as weapons in a dark alley, because hey, there's a lot of dark alleys in Baltimore, although toenails-as-weapons seems a little futile. I mean, have you seen The Wire? Oh yeah and that other show, uhh.. something Life on the Streets. Oh that's right, HOMICIDE.) So to conclude our Lesson of the Day, Ladies and Metros, pamper your tootsies BEFORE you jump on that plane or hop on that bus. And to any Baltimore yelpers out there (where you at?) go ahead and grow your dagger-toes, you need all the self-defenses you can get. read more

I've been coming here for years! Peter is my regular nail guy and he always does a great job. Recently I've been getting lash extensions with Tori, she is incredible! So precise and I get compliments on her work every single day! read more

I should have paid attention to the previous review. Currently uber-frustrated at this place. 3 days ago I went in for a mani-pedi; I was super-excited because they advertised the OPI Axxium gels and cost a few dollars less than another local Baltimore salon. Ok fine, I was only in town for a couple of days and they said thy could take me that very day. Now here's the problem: it's now 3 days later and a manicure that should have lasted me over 2 weeks is completely ruined! We're not talking about just chipped lacquer (that happens, I get it) but this isn't a lacquer! These are gels that are supposed to stay on! Yeah, I picked up a bag this evening and the ENTIRE GEL FROM MY MIDDLE FINGER POPPED STRAIGHT OFF! AS THE NIGHT HAS CONTINUED 2 MORE GELS HAVE POPPED CLEAN OFF! So now I have 7 nails with Axxium gels (that are already starting to chip) and THREE NAILS WITH NOTHING! I've had this treatment before and never has this happened! In fact, I kinda loved the Axxiums last time, they started to grow out before it started to look bad. Not so much this time. Plus, didn't even get a hand massage. I feel bad because the woman that put the gels on was very sweet and we had a lovely talk, but she did a really bad job. And she was the owner's daughter - she made a big deal of the fact that she and her mother decided to buy the entire Axxium line because it was an awesome product. Unfortunately, I don't think they know how to use it. Plus, I don't think they used the proper products together. And one of the nails was so light, rather than remove the product, she just used regular polish to fill in. That's not what I paid for. I am le sad. This was supposed to be an awesome birthday treat. Now I have to get my nails done again (cuz you can't just take the soak-off gels at home, you kind of need to go into a salon to get it taken care of properly. No one wants to spend 2 hours taking it off alone when a salon can do it in 5 minutes and with alot less acetone.) Which means more time and even MORE money. WTH? Not cool, Nail Center, not cool. And I want my money back. read more

Everyone does an excellent job and they are very meticulous. I recommend going to Cindy (the owner) or Tori. Both are outstanding. Tori does lashes as well and is excellent. Make sure to make an appointment because they get very busy. Especially on weekends and evenings. read more

I've been using Nail Center for over 10 years. I've used them for manicures with silk, pedicures and waxing. The salon is always clean, the staff is friendly and they always run on time. Cindy, Tom, Tori and the rest of the staff make me feel like I'm the only customer in the salon. My husband loves relaxing in the pedicure chairs and his occasional manicure or pedicure. read more

I see Tori every two weeks to get my eyelash extensions done. She is so sweet and polite! The price is great for what you're getting. I love the atmosphere at Nail Center. The salon is a very clean, calm and relaxing environment! Thank you Tori! read more

I am a regular at a Fancier Nail Salon in Quarry Lake. Decided to give Nail Center a try. The owners are very nice and Tom gives a decent pedicure. However, the shop is in disrepair. All the massage chairs are old and starting to rip apart. The towels are paper thin and raggedy. Even the benches by the door are old and ripped. Nail Center needs to be updated and refreshed to make it more enjoyable for their customers. read more

Omgggggggg the absolute best damn pedicure I have ever had...i.am in love with this place and the service

I'm not from Pikesville, but I was meeting some friends and I went here to get a mani - pedi beforehand since it was close to where we were meeting. Everyone is really nice, but the quality of both were sub par. The pedi was okay, but the application of the toe color was distinctively amateurish. I have done better on myself. The color I choose was apparently a pretty crappy brand because it's streaky. Personally, I would want my nail center to not have subpar quality color. Included on that is that my nails are all a little differently shaped. The mani was a gel and it is slapdashed. the color is streaky, the painting indiscriminate, and the top coat, heavy and all over my fingers. These people were very very nice and I hope they get better. But I will not return. I am going to my local place to have them redo my color. Oh, also, the gel is starting to chip. read more

Tori's lashes are amazing! Her detail oriented nature makes her a true pro, my lashes look amazing every time! Spending 30-60 minutes with your eyes closed on a table can be awkward, but Tori makes me feel so comfortable and relaxed with our conversations and her soothing music. I truly look forward to our time together, it's a treat to unwind from life in her room. Pro tip: skip the DIY lash wash and splurge for her Lash Cleanser, it is magical and makes a huge difference! read more

Kim is fantastic! She does a great manicure and pedicure. She's a perfectionist and takes her time. Her hand and foot massages are so luxurious. I recommended her to 2 of my friends, and they love her work too! The salon is clean and well set up for social distancing. I recently had a facial there and it was wonderful as well. Highly recommend! read more

The worst nail salon around...I went Mother's Day weekend took my mother and sister to get pedicures and manicures, they chopped our toe nails down to nothing and they were crooked as shit! My moms gel manicure was just as bad she had long beautiful real nails and they cut half of them down to the skin and the paint job was awful! I got home and they were all messed up keep in mind they were gel so how she managed that one is beyond me! I was so embarrassed that I took them here! I went back last week hoping the person I got would give me a decent pedicures turns out it was the same lady from last time, I told her I didn't want them cut, she filed them down to nothing AGAIN, and the paint job was god awful! Clear coat all over my skin and all clumped in the corners. I called to get a refund after I sent a video thru text and she agreed it was bad, yet they charged me and didn't refund me... needless to say I'll be going back in during lunch so they can pay me my $102 back!!! FO NOT GO TO THIS SALON SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY! read more

A wonderful experience for manicure gel acrylic & natural pedicure , facials , lashes and so much more!! This is the place to go!!

This place is horrible! The lady who did my nails was SO rude, did not massage me at all during a pedicure, rolled her eyes when I asked her to cut my nails, did not cut my cuticles, and then demanded "you pay me now" before painting my nails. Absolutely ridiculous, I'll never be back! Also the place smelled of awful nail fumes. read more

I was treated to a pedicure at this salon by a girlfriend who called ahead. We were in side by side chairs except my girl was still finishing a manicure so I picked my nose for awhile (figuratively speaking). I love the massage chairs but for some reason felt violated after sitting in this one. I chose an OPI color which I normally do. It's been 3 weeks and has started to chip. The last salon I visited was $10 cheaper and lasted 4 weeks (tho the GUY was kind of rough). I'm still in search of the perfect pedi. read more
