I went to the salon today for the first time and here is my honest review: Pros: I really like the fact that this nail salon opened at 9 AM when most salons don't open till 10 or later. My usual, Nail Salon did not open until 10 and with me having to go to an event later, I wanted to get in as soon as possible, so I stopped at this salon. Inside it was very , classy, neat, and they offered water or wine. Cons: although the staff seem pretty nice and professional, the gentleman that worked on my pedicure and fall sad did not appease me. He was very quiet, not that friendly, and very rough! When going to a nail salon and spa, do you want to feel pampered and relaxed and I was on the edge the entire time because of how rough he handled my hands. I also feel he did not pay attention to detail because he did not give me what I asked for at the end, although they looked decent. My nails were a little bulky, and instead of clipping my cuticles with the cuticle nipper, he used the electric file which can be rough on a woman's nails. He kept asking me if I was sensitive. No! But you're a little rough lol, I'm not sure I will return to the salon, but if I do, I will just ask for another staff member. The other clients in the salon seemed very satisfied with their service. I also tipped him generously at the end and he just accepted it and walked away just not friendly. read more

The atmosphere is very lovely, and loved how I got a complimentary drink! A group of 3 of us called ahead and booked like a week in advance. Bottom line, for the price that I paid the quality was very poor. My toenail chipped not even an hour after I left the salon, and my nails are uneven. The bride requested tiny pearls or nail jewelry and they did not have that, however once again, for the price that we paid I did not believe it was worth it. It felt rushed, and like they were just trying to get people in and out. I have always gone to AM Nails and will continue for this reason! For a full set it is $45-$55 plus $5 for nail shape, and an additional fee for gel, I believe $10. read more

Brought my child (9 y.o.) to have a special, long awaited mani/pedi date with me. The ladies pressured me the entire time to get gel polish for my daughter. I said no, firmly, several times. I told them I did not want to pay that much, knowing her nails (gel or not) get messed up fast because she plays hard. They asked directly more than six times, including asking her themselves when she was moved away from me after the pedi! She said "it only fifteen dollar more, total sixty four dollar". I said no, again. The techs spoke to each other under their breath at length following my exasperated declines. Also, why not let a little girl sit near their mom while they finish mom's nails? No effort at all to make it a nice experience. The pedi for my daughter took about 15 minutes, same with nails. When you book online, the amount of time is not 15 minutes. She spent most of the time staring out the window waiting for her nails to dry, afraid to move because the tech had yelled at her to not move. She's 9, and very well behaved, very quiet. Not necessary for their empty salon, to be so rude to any customer, much less a well behaved child. I had no nail polish on my fingers and gel polish on one foot. It usually pops right off because I did them myself. The gel took about 30 seconds to remove on the one foot, with a drill. She put regular polish on my toes, and gel on my fingers. She seemed annoyed to be doing my nails, hardly looked at them, and sort of just went through the motions. Example- with the buffer, she looked out the window and just sort of buffed my whole hand with one swipe. Same with base coat, wiping with alcohol, etc. Just an approximate brush by the tips of my fingers, not attention to each nail. The gel finish is lumpy, has large ridges, and the edges were sharp and required me to file them right when I got in the car. I was absolutely livid that they charged me $10 for "nail take off". They don't usually do that when you get gel again, and I DID GET GEL. They don't usually charge that for repeat customers and for people who had several services done. They shove a price list at you and tell you to choose what pedicure you want, every time. But it does not list the $35 option on there, which IS listed on the website. When you make an appointment, you select the services you want. When you get there, they act like they had no idea you were coming and try to convince you to get more things done. No reference to the booking system. Anyway, the lady told me, "you do the top one" and did not hand me the sheet of options. I said "I want the cheapest one, it's $35 online. The Spa Pedicure". She charged me for the $43 option, again ignoring my appointment and verbal requests. Their esthetic leaves a lot to be desired, as well. The whole place is dusty and dirty, the sign-in iPad is always broken. They say you can earn loyalty points but I've never actually been offered such a thing. Random things around the place are strangely wrapped in saran wrap. She shoved a UV nail light at me that had trash inside. The water features on the walls are dried up and burned out, but the LED lights are still blinking. The TVs show a free channel, a foreign cooking show usually. For 2 hours, I watched a man eat ribs. The same man, the same meat, in a back yard, for 2 hours. The other TV was just a screen saver. The music is usually very religious in nature and sometimes not in English. Their decor for holidays is tacky from the dollar store, displayed with the tags still on, well into the spring. In August, we still have red Christmas bows up. At Christmas time, I asked for the cat eyes, a special add-on. It took them 2.5 hours and they did a horrible job, even saying to come back tomorrow for them to do it again. The techs had no idea how to do it, but they advertise it as a service. Oh don't worry, even though they expected me to return so they could start all over again in the morning (and go home for the night), they still charged me the extra for the "cat eyes". I have been going here since they opened. Excited to have a place I could walk in, looked nice on inside. However, the CONSTANT pushy behavior is the one thing I can't get over. They often suggest you need a treatment like your eyebrows waxed, as if you look unpresentable. They ask the same questions over and over. They rush you through, even though they are rarely busy. The rest of the experience leaves such a lasting, repeated, nasty taste in my mouth that I won't be back. I tried to overlook things in favor of the convenience, including all of the negative neighborhood reviews, but I'll find somewhere else to spend my money. Don't go here if you want a relaxing or easy experience. read more

We love this place! Took my 3 year old and it was actually relaxing. They did hers in gel too! We had a wonderful experience! Would recommend! Clean and spacious. We did a gel manicure and enjoyed it. read more

Terrible sevice, the gel manicure was completed by two different people. In previous times using this salon they would end the manicure with lotion. Today, I asked, do you have lotion, she handed me the bottle, very weird and unprofessional. They were very rushed and rude the entire time, I have been there many times, and it always seems like the services are getting less and less. read more

I followed my favorite nail technicians to this location. They are still doing a wonderful job however, the owner hovered over us both in silence watching my manicure which was very uncomfortable. He did not acknowledge me as a client or say hello. I also don't enjoy the music playlist or what is shown on TV. I did learn how to make sushi after seeing the same loop 15 times. read more

I'm only giving this nail spa 3 stars because out of 2 pedicures I scheduled for my daughter and I of which we both said we wanted the basic pedicure for $32, I wound up paying $43 for one of them because the nail tech asked my daughter if the callous remover was ok and she said yes. He neglected to say "by the way this is an extra charge " which I thought was wrong because she had no clue I wasn't part of the pedicure and we aren't regular customers. This was a bit deceptive and I paid for it but was not happy when I left. Just make sure you are very clear when you explain what you want so additional treatments aren't added without your knowledge. read more

One week after getting a gel mani at this salon, the gel started to lift and get caught on things ripping it right off. Do not recommend going here if you want to pay regular prices for something that doesn't last and is poor quality. read more

Really zero stars for my gel manicure. I had my nails done two hours ago and they've already chipped. The technician was rushed and did not clean up the polish that got onto my cuticle and skin around the nail. She let the gel harden and then used cuticle trimmers to cut it off, along with my skin. read more

Went in for a gel manicure. They did not fill in the nail all the way, the shade is not accurate, bleeding on multiple fingers and I have green all over my hands. read more

I walked in and asked if I can get a polish change. I wanted French tip. instead of saying yes or no the older lady needs to look at my nails. still no answer. I sit at this guy station. he removes my polish and use this tool and put a red mark in the center of my nail from scraping. he gets a plain bowl of water no soap or anything. tells me to put my hands in. proceed to cutting my cuticle... I NEVER ASKED FOR A MANICURE. i didn't even know thats what I was getting until I saw the tools cause th water wasn't manicure water. then he shows the picture to the lady after he rack up service I didn't ask for and tell me the French tip I desire is $20. I showed him the picture before he started my nails he didn't say nothin. so after I pay $20 for a service i didn't ask for and he also charged me $10 for a gel polish he didn't put on. I hope he never make a penny. this establishement is a rip off. they will sneak to try to get money out of you. I won't ever go there again. read more

Love love the ambiance here and amazing staff! I have lived in sykesville all of my life and the other salons here just don't compare to the customer service you receive at Nail Trix. I think they had a bad wave with hiring a couple new techs but those bad seeds aren't here anymore. Just family run and they treat you like you're family. I wouldn't take my business anywhere but here. Ask for Jenn or David, they'll always make sure you leave happy. read more

First time and last time !!!! I went to this nail salon because I was going on a beach trip right after. This was the closes opinion I had, I walked in there was no wait which was the best part. The staff was nice it's just the work, and I felt overpriced. I got a $50 pedicure it was gel French tip, then I got a full set done. When I was almost done my boyfriend paid and told me the bill was $158. I was completely shocked no one told me prices of anything, but then again I should of asked. I was happy with the results when I left, but I still felt I should of asked for another top coat on my nails. I was already 3 hours late to check-in the hotel because I was at this salon. I had a gut feeling I should of just got my toes done and leave but my boyfriend wanted to treat me for my birthday. All in all the very next day my nails were chipping, and now It been a couple more day now and it's a lot worse. I wasn't gonna go back after my trip because I was 2 hours away myself from that salon. But now I have to spend more money so it doesn't look bad. Very disappointed! read more

Was pleasantly surprised by the decor when I went inside -- it looked clean and hygienic. But was deeply disappointed by the total lack of sanitation protocols. 1. Upon entering, I wasn't given hand sanitizer and wasn't asked to wash hands like other local competitors. This means clients before me could've picked their nose or sneezed and all this cross contamination occurs among the nail polish brushes, tools and nail files. 2. During the nail appointment, the technician never soaked my hands before working on them... 3. Tools like a file were clearly used and worn down, which was disturbing knowing that the same tools were used on other people's dirty hands (!!!). 4. I tried my best to be gracious but then this happened: while I was drying my nails under the light, the technician started filing her nails that were not clean--she had used her phone multiple times and touched other things like tools, her face, etc. then after filing her nails -- getting her nail dust all up in my face -- she used the same file on my nails. Gross. I was so displeased... 5. Nail dust was all over the technician's dry hands, and she repeatedly kept touching her cell phone, then touching my nails...phones are literally the dirtiest things we own- dirtier than toilets. Meanwhile, the lotion massage was so uncomfortable because the technician had the driest hands that, yes, still had nail dust all over it. Can we make it standard to wash hands BEFORE the massage? 6. The arm rest I had, had gunk on it and was not clean and when I left my shirt had touched alcohol and polish that was on the table and not cleaned up...which I didn't notice til I went to my car. I just couldn't believe how unhygienic the experience was. We are in a pandemic! Now isn't the time to throw all protocols out the window. Shouldn't it be sanitation 101 to make sure ALL clients wash their hands or use sanitizer before service? Think about the nail polish bottles soaking in bacteria right now. Cringe. I wanted to leave believing this would be my local nail spot. But Citron is still the cleanest place to go. Do better, Trix...:/ read more

I have been coming to Neil tricks for quite some time already I really truly love this place you have to check it out. David and Vicky are awesome you truly get pampered they offer you wine or water I am really take care of you. read more

Love this place. Beautiful atmosphere and very friendly staff. Always very welcoming. My gel manicure always last at least three weeks without fail. Have had wonderful pedicures here as well. Best in the area by far. read more

The worst nail salon ever!! Paint peels and chips off after 1 week. Nasty and rude manager. Wouldn't fix or stand by after paying a fortune. Save your money and go to Lily nails!! read more

Worst place ever! This time was my second time going there even though I should have not given them a chance after the first time. Their pedicure and dip nails do not last. This last time we waited 45 minutes for our pedicure even though we had an appointment. My daughter's technician kept getting up during her pedicure to take care of other customers and completely rushed through the whole thing! She only got one coat of polish and was so upset when we left she had tears in her eyes. We will definitely not be back! I regret giving them a second chance. The salon is very pretty and welcoming but the service is terrible. Don't go there unless you have endless time to waste waiting for a mediocre pedicure at best! read more

First time in this nail salon and I had a very good experience! The brand new salon was very clean and chic. I received a gel fill and the nail technician did a beautiful job. This will be my new go-to spot in Eldersburg! read more

Went in for a full set. Left with crooked, lumpy, and uneven nails. The gel on top of the nails was very messy and even went off the nail on to my fingers. Of course I didn't notice all this until I got home. I've done gel manicures on myself much better than I got at this salon. My nail tech also started coughing and didn't turn away or excuse himself. Considering COVID, I'm very disappointed. I will not be returning and I will be getting these fixed soon elsewhere. read more

I have not been in a nail salon since the pandemic hit. And I was still a little worried about safety but the health of my feet pushed me to go. This was also my first experience at Nail Trix. I was impressed as soon as I walked in. They use a tablet for check in and there was a person ahead of me. As soon as they checked in, one of the manicurists cleaned the screen before I used it. All manicure stations are outfitted with plexiglas shields between the client and manicurist. I was only getting a pedicure but it was nice to see that. I was kept separate from the other pedicure client. The spa treatment was enjoyable and my manicurist took her time. Getting the pedicure, callus removal, sugar scrub, lotions, massage, and hot towels for $42 was a deal in my experience. I will return. Good job, Nail Trix. read more

First time there. Really nice place, Tony was fast on my nails and David did a beautiful design on my nails too! Will be back!

First time and last time. Don't be TRICKED by Nail Trix! Excited to try the new spot in town. I went in without an appointment on a Sat. Got a friendly welcome. Checked in at the computerized system at the front desk. I selected the $28 basic pedicure as the service I wanted. Picked my color and was taken back to a pedicure chair very quickly. The Spa is very pretty. Everything is brand new. They have 10 or so pedicure chairs and at least that in nail stations. Nice relaxing music playing. I was offered water/wine. A few other customers chatting and saying how nice it was. Water is filling up in the bowl and I'm getting situated in the chair. The Nail tech hands me the pedicure selection sheet. Now this is absolutely my fault that I didn't read the sheet, but why would I? - I had already read about the choices offered when I checked in on the computer. I said the "first one will be fine" as that was the $28 basic pedicure listed on the computer check in. However later I find out that $28 pedicure wasn't even listed on the sheet she provided me - the sheet starts at $38 ! So I start to relax in the chair, I'm reading on my phone, I close my eyes enjoying the massage. I don't really pay to much attention to what is going on as I'm relaxing. So she finishes. Asked me to move to the front to dry. I look at the paint and it's just ok, a few spots on the cuticles, no biggie, but I could have done just as well with the painting. It was about 35 mins total for pedicure. I dry for a bit and go pay and she says "$38!" I said "I thought it was $28 ?!" So she shows me the sheet and says "you picked the $38 pedicure". Oh ok ! so I pay and left feeling very Tricked by Nail Trix. Why would they have a check in system where you select what service you want and not look at it?? And why don't they have the $28 pedicure listed on the sheet they show?? Well it's a trick to get you to spend more! The $38 gave some extra lotion and 2 hot towels vs 1 on your legs at the end. Not worth it at all. Very disappointed and won't be back. read more
