I have been coming here for over a year and I love it! Sam and Kelly are my favorite technicians but everyone is talent and great! Prices are very reasonable, free parking, and it is easy to make an appointment! Highly recommend! read more

I was a little apprehensive about trying this place due to the reviews, but I was in the plaza for something else and figured it was worth a shot. I'm so glad I went in! It had been months since I had my eyebrows / lip waxed and the tech was quick, professional, and did an amazing job! She did such an amazing job that I also decided to tack on a pedicure. She took her time and had great attention to detail for this service. It was the best pedicure I've had since I've moved back to Philly. It was relaxing and the massage was incredible! My nail polish was applied perfectly and still looks good several days later. I am looking forward to going back for a manicure! I will say I was surprised they didn't have bags for the pedicure tubs, though. The business was very clean otherwise. read more

I am furious. I have been coming here for a year and today I don't feel like no received the same service that I have always been. I wanted SHORT acrylic nails with black polish. the lady doing my nails was mad because I asked her to go short. Maybe short isn't her preference. But it's mine and it's what's I wanted. Your eye rolls were unnecessary. second, I wanted black gel. I get that you may need a few coats. But I'm not stupid. I can literally see that there are still pieces that need to go over. but the lady decided she wanted to raise her voice and tell me she DID do 3 coats. yeah you did. but I can see see through it and I don't like it. she refused to do another coat for me. this was the shittiest nail job and a waste of $40. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING! read more

Really enjoyed my gel manicure at this place. The ladies were so friendly and quick. I was offered a beverage as soon as I stepped in. My manicure was perfect. Thanks! read more

Customer service was good but u went to get my eyebrows done and left unsatisfied. My eyebrow are uneven felt like I was rushed mind you I'm ack so you know we don't play about facial features. I would NOT go back 2/10 read more

Came back to try again because it has easy parking. Painful pedicure. They are so so rough and rushed and service is a total mess. Heard another customer say she wasn't paying the messy manicure she had gotten and their only response was "I don't see a problem". Do not expect anything like a spa experience here. Ouch. Tina nails on 12th forever. read more

My first time here and their work did not disappoint. I came in an hour before they were about to close but they kindly let us get our manicure and pedicure with no problem. I got the classic pedicure and gel mani. I like how she used a scrub on my feet/buffed it. They also do hot stones! I've never had a hot stone pedicure before and it definitely felt nice. I wish it lasted longer. The gel mani looks very clean. My only complaint is that the polish is on the sheer side. She did two coats, if she done 3 coats, it would have been perfect. Linda was really nice as well I definitely will come back to get other stuff they offer! They accept cash AND CARD! Plus, its in a plaza so you dont have to worry about finding parking. read more

A lot of nail salons in South Philly have manicurists that are always rushing - not at Nails New Concept! I came here on a Thursday afternoon to get a refill and ended up having a nail fungus on two of my nails Anyway, Jenny assured me that I will be fine. She took off my old acrylic and gave me a mani. To do this it all costs $35. I got the chrome nail polish on one nail as well. Everyone in the shop is polite. The shop also looks nice as well - it's modern and updated! I'll definitely be visiting this nail salon again. read more

I went here for the first time today. Super clean, no wait, friendly but not over bearing. Linda did my pedicure and manicure. She was very professional and took her time. I requested a French Manicure with gold instead of white and she made sure ahead of time that the gold color was just right. I'll be back. Thanks read more

This is my new favorite nail salon since I started going this summer. The staff here are very nice and thorough. The salon itself is clean and their quality is consistent so far. I've had my face waxed and pedicures so far. The wax is chocolate scented and it's supposedly less harmful. My pedicures always last at LEAST a month so I'm very satisfied. They do paraffin, scrub & hot stone for a $25 pedicure. Did I mention they take credit card?! That's practically unheard of for nail salons. Plus it's located in a shopping plaza where you can park, HOORAY! No more center city salons! read more

I came here for the first time a few days ago and I was SO disappointed. First, they asked what I came to get. I had a previous set of dip nails on and wanted to get gel. Sam started taking my gel off since apparently no one else could do it correctly. As she was taking off my dip powder, she informed me it would be $5 to take them off and get gel. I said it was no problem; even though I've never been charged to have that done at any other salon. Not only was she super rough and as my nails were soaking in acetone (Which is damaging enough), she kept aggressively buffing off the dip powder. She even used a manicure tool to pry my dip powder off and pierced my nail. She pierced it so roughly that my finger was bleeding UNDER the nail. Then I moved over to Vivian who would be doing my gel manicure. She questioned Sam on what she did to my nail and Sam brushed it off. She did a decent job I thought, until the next day I noticed that two of my nails were already peeling off polish and had two big bubbles underneath the gel. And I went to touch the nails and LIQUID GEL POLISH came out. So clearly she didn't cure them long enough. I will never come here again. read more

This is the worst experience ever! I got my nails done 3 days before my vacation. Went there last Wednesday for a fullset and 2 of my nails broke off Friday night, right before my trip! I had to buy crazy glue the next day during my trip. The next day, another 4 nails broke off!! I never had this problem before. This will be my first and last time I'll step foot in this salon. They didn't do a great job with filing, my nails were lopsided and uneven. Also, it cost me $70 for this service. Don't waste your time here. Stay away! read more

TLDR: this place has gone downhill, don't waste your time. Story: I used to be a regular customer here and even had a specific person I really enjoyed regularly seeing. I told everyone in the neighborhood how great this place was. After having a kid, I just didn't have the time to commit to regularly getting my nails done, so I rarely did it. The last few times I've made appointments, I've shown up on time and had to wait 20-30 minutes. Today I called to make an appointment and was asked if I could come in tomorrow, I said I couldn't. They told me to come in at 2. I went in to have my dip manicure removed and a new one put on. I was taken immediately by the owner and started the process of wrapping my nails to remove the dip, while I thought the person I made a appt with was just finishing up another client. I sat for 45 minutes waiting, fingers wrapped in tinfoil, and finally asked another employee to just remove the foil so I could go elsewhere. it's truly a shame, this place used to be the best - seriously, Im not sure how their customer service has gone so downhill and why they can't figure out scheduling better. they even charged me $10, after years of going there. so sad, I'll never go there again and wouldn't recommend. read more

I'm someone who treats myself to a mani or pedi maybe once every like two years. Now that I know this place is super close to me and has parking, perhaps I'll make it a more regular occurrence. With that said, the place felt very clean, welcoming and relaxing. I got a pedicure and those chairs were SO comfy with the massage features built in, obvi. The décor is classy without being tacky like a lot of salons are and they played light, classical, spa-like music. Every seat was taken when I arrived (I was a walk-in) so the woman at the front desk told me to browse the polish colors. Three minutes later and they already have a seat ready for me. Seems like they manage their staff well when handling large volumes of customers, especially those without appointments. Vy took care of me and she was speedy, yet efficient. She mentioned the type of pedicure I wanted in the beginning but I couldn't understand, so there was a little confusion, but I think I got whatever is "basic." Upon looking at their menu, it seems like there's 5-6 different types, all ranging in price from $20 to $55. Mine came to $25, which isn't bad at all - and that included a light hot stone press on my calves (although the ultra hot stone pedicure was the $55 one, so I'm sure that's different). Others I noticed had these white microwaved hot booties placed on their feet, which looked very relaxing, but I'm guessing that's part of another, pricier package. Mani prices on the menu looked affordable, as well. My one complaint would be that the color I picked (peach, to match a dress for a wedding) barely had any left in its bottle. She asked if I liked that color and I said yes, so she returned with....not peach. It was like a very light, almost white pink. She started applying it and I noticed it was vastly different than the first choice, but much easier to see (the peach probably would've needed a thousand coats). I actually liked the color so I didn't make her change it, although perhaps they should ensure the displays have full bottles and backups. Also, I wish salons would separate gel colors from regular, I can never tell. Gel didn't seem to be an option for my pedicure, although I'm sure you can request it. Also, I noticed that some people had white wine/butter cookies, but others didn't and I wasn't offered. It seemed like the regular customers were handed them upon entering. Perhaps you just need to know to ask for it. Overall, my pedicure seems to be holding up well almost a week later and my feet definitely felt smoother. I will definitely return here and maybe get the whole sha-bang. read more

Pricing is ridiculously high. Work is unsatisfying. My pedicure was 65 dollars and toenails chipped following day. Ashame because the technician this day was lovely (lady who wears watermelon platforms). Today I went back (5 days later) to get the white lines fixed on my French toenails (two big toes) and the line bled with topcoat. Asked the technician to fix and she was annoyed and had me wait while she did a new customers hands. Refill with regular polish was 29 dollars because of the "cut and shape?' in all other salons I have spent 15-19 for all three. Funny because there are signs everywhere that say pricing went up but there are no prices. There are bubbles on my nails from the top coat. I asked for them to be fixed and the technician swore there were no bubbles. At this point, I paid and left. read more

I usually have a great experience, but every time I get this one person, she does a terrible job. I tipped her out of respect but if you go and have a go to lady, please use her! I just left pissed off and she didn't apologize or offer anything. I could have done a better job on my own nails but I went for the spa like experience. Not to mention, I have an infection from her. read more

I'm a fan of this south Philly nail salon! You can get a solid manicure for a reasonable price and fast and efficient service. I have gotten gel manicures from Sam and Vy and they both have done great jobs. They have a large selection of gel colors including OPI brand products and many others (even Chrome). Gel manicures are $25, which I am happy to pay because in CT they are $10 more! I have also gotten my eyebrows waxed here and Vy did a nice job cleaning them up. The interior is clean and vibrant with lufa-like decor hanging from the ceiling. You can typically walk in and get a manicure without making an appointment and the staff is pretty friendly. read more

I come every two week, staff is so nice, clean, definitely would recommend. I normally get gel mani and pedicure.

My nails would not dry , they dont get the entire nail overall just looked like a 5 year old did it it was shitty. I called over the phone said 18$ for a regular refill and charged me 45 damn dollars just for it to be unbelievably sloppy and they tried getting smart with me when i said something about the price but i shut the owner up real quick. They dont even deserve the 1 star. Amd covid 19 is out and i was weirded out that one of the owner asked me to pull my mask down so she could look at my face it make me uncomfortable and she kept touching my hair like she never seen a person before it was weird. read more

I've been here a couple times for a gel pedi and they've been good but when I came here for a mani, it was terrible. first off all, whoever did my pedi this time took forever but did an okay job. my hands however, is terrible. the paint job is bad and my nail chipped after. i'm not the type of person to complain and be upset, so I didn't say anything also, she was still doing my nails at 6:38 when they closed at 6 so I felt bad. but yeah, I wouldn't come back. read more

I had Lily as my nail tech and it was absolutely horrible. My anxiety was through the roof he was grabbing me and rushing me talking about me in front of the other techs. Making snide comments shaking her head acting so annoyed sighing like she hated it. Pushed my hands into the nail dryer and it was the worst experience. My brother passed away and I was trying to relax and take my mind off things and she was so mean I walked out crying. I will never return. read more

Not bad, but not great. I guess I'll start with the good: 1. It seems decently clean and my aesthetician was very nice. 2. They definitely take walk-ins, which is a real bonus in my opinion. 3. I liked the massage chairs, too. Unfortunately, my pedicure from here barely made it a week before I noticed that it was starting to chip. I figured I'd go back again and give them another shot, but same thing happened on my return visit. I want to love it here since it's in my neighborhood, but I'm just not 100% sold on this salon. read more

The one star is for the friendliness of the young lady who did my pedi and the polish jou on that was not good but, I dealt with that, But my nails, that was the worst $50.00 I have ever spent getting my nails done. I came to this shop on 5/6/2018 and on 5/14/2018 one week to the day, the liquid gel full set I paid $50.00 for are now off... I will never go back to this shop, and mind you they repaired a nail on Saturday 5/12/2018 because while at work there days after getting my full set one nail broke (gel came off nail) I can not tell nobody not to patronize this salon, but go at your own risk, you may have a different out come than I did. read more

OMG! Stressed out and was miserable. Looking for a place to renew my soul. Well this is the place. Fantastic!!!! Excellent service, clean and very relaxing. All I can say is THANK YOU.

It is clean and they are efficient with getting your nails done. Depending on which nail technician you get, the quality is great for the price. I've had a mediocre experience there and I have had a great experience there. If they're busy, they don't spend the necessary time to pay attention to the details because they're trying to get you out. read more

I have come to nails new concept three times since they have opened! their prices are very reasonable, the staff is SUPER friendly, and it is cleaner than most nail salons I have visited. The staff goes out of their way to say hi to you if they have serviced you before. They are willing to talk if you want to, but will leave you alone if that is what you prefer. Kelly and Lena were great with their pedicures and gel manicures, but so far, Vivian has been my favorite! They sanitize the tools while your nails dry so you can see that it's true! I've also seen thorough cleanings of tables and pedicure sinks after customers leave. The best part is, they are giving 20% off Monday-Wednesday and 10% off other days to celebrate their grand opening until March 13! Great service and there's free parking as it is in the shopping complex with Masquerade, Pho Saigon, Ruby Buffet, and Dunkin Donuts! it's my new go to nail salon. read more

I was a regular at this salon. So when my sister was getting married, I insisted on taking her here before her wedding so we could get mani-pedi's. It was my treat as her maid of honor, which I now regret so much. They were mean to her! (And me.) She had a photo of what she wanted, kind of a French manicure where the pink blends into the white. They kept passing her phone around to each other as each said no, they couldn't do it. OK, so they couldn't. She was disappointed, but she just chose something else. It was about 6:15 when we walked in. They started us on pedicures. The woman who was doing mine was being kinda violent with me. She was jerking my feet around dramatically! I thought I must be crazy. I come here all the time, and they've always been nice to me. I looked over at my sister to see if she noticed what was happening, and she did. At this point I realized (googled) they close at 7 (I didn't know. I usually come alone in the morning since I often work at night. She was clearly pissed. At any rate, we were out the door by 7:10, having been treated like garbage the entire time. If I realized it was too late I would've just come back the next day. They could have said it was too late. Instead, I'll come back never. read more

I'm a center city transplant in s philly and thought I'd have to give up the glamorous, quality spots I'd used to go up in the city. All I gave up was long waits and snooty customers yelling on the phone next to me. Not only is nails new concept bigger than the salons in Center City but so much more convenient as it has a big parking lot. Prices are low quality is high - - so far my pedicures have all lasted at least 2 to 3 weeks. And they have the ubiquitous massage chairs which just makes any pedicure better. Great selection, friendly staff and reasonable pedi prices keep me coming back. Give it a try! read more

The staff is still my absolute favorite but I'm not feeling the recent changes in regards to the wine policy and the new music. I would rather not listen to Disney instrumental music while conversing with my friends and staff. I did hear that the policy was changed because of one reckless person's drinking, but that is not the majority. read more

Staff is very professional and friendly. They take care to do a good job and don't rush, Saturdays are a little crazy so I would recommend a different day or an appointment. Make sure you tip in cash, if you pay on a CC the owner takes 30% of their tips which isn't right. read more

Literally the worst nail salon I have ever been to I should have listened to the reviews. Do not go here. I walked out and my toe polish was s completely different color than my gel manicure and my gel manicure is the worst manicure I have ever gotten in my entire life. I asked for a partial refund and they only offered to paint OVER the nail color already on my toes. I did not want anyone to touch me at this point. Not to mention the owner rushed me out and took my debit card out of my purse to swipe it before she left for the night. You can see through the Hot pink nail polish on my gel to my actual nail and my feet are neon orange WTFFFFF Literally am soooo pissed off. NEVER AGAIN read more

Great nail salon! I love the location and it's nice that they conveniently have parking where most nail places in the city do not! I also love that they offer wine with certain package specials.

Which is rare in nail salons usually you feel rushed which they do not do this here! Great place deff a must try! Compare to the rest! read more
