The ONLY place I go to for a pedi in C'Ville! Basic is only $22 and Tina and her staff are the sweetest people. They also have many different options for spa pedicures with a range of prices if you want a little upgrade or a big one. Always a pleasure going there! read more

I just moved here from South Florida. After having a terrible experience at another nail place, I was bound to find a better nail salon that can do pink&whites. I saw Nice Nails & Spa while I was driving down 29 and made an appt. The owner Steven and his girlfriend Tina were SO nice to me. After telling Steven about my terrible experience, he did my pink&whites for me and they came out PERFECT! I will definitely be going back. Thank you! read more

Family owned and operated - 7 days a week! Told them they all need a break and to please close Mondays like other retailers. Very clean, and Kim always does a great job on my toenails. Never have a problem with pain when they grow back in like other shops. Food Network on the telly, great chairs and I have been there 4 times and will continue to come back. Give them a visit, you won't be disappointed! JW read more

I love this place! I won't go anywhere else to get my nails done! Superior service and my nails always look fabulous!

I have been to almost every nail salon in Charlottesville being that I have lived here for 26 years. Tina and Steven are the nicest and most professional bunch I have met. I visit every two weeks for a gel mani and pedi. The prices are the most reasonable in town, they take their time and they make me feel like family every time I walk in the door. They are always great about giving me a last min apt. Not sure about the few negative reviews below, but trust me I'm as picky as they come and you will not be disappointed. I own a small local business as well and always love supporting local family run shops. FIVE STARS. read more

I tried this place based on high reviews and was very pleased with the pedicure I received, which was very reasonably priced at $22. Its a little difficult to find but its adjacent to Pier 1 Imports. The staff was very friendly and offered me a beverage, something that even top end spa's don't always do. The nail tech used a base coat and top coat....I've received pedicures with no base coat and my nails become stained. Overall it was a good experience and well worth the price. I will definitely be back read more

So done with this shop. Went back as a walk in and they claimed they had no time to do my nails based on a client that was "on the way over". Are you kidding me? So the person is not there and you cant do a fill in? I was disappointed in Tina but then not so much with that terrible man who runs the shop. (look above for my previous experience. I found a much better shop on pantops called Beauty Nails. Really great customer service and very skilled. Closer to my house too. If you go to Nice Nails, dont't complain about the work that you pay them for. You can be as nice as possible but...they seem to want you to have what they want to give you...not what you apy for. They should be ashamed of themselves. read more

This place just opened, and they are great! They're pretty far down 29-- past the Fashion Square Mall, near Pier 1. A lot of people just go to CK because they're close to the Barracks area, but it's worth the extra few minutes in the car. Everyone in this salon was friendly. The woman who did my mani/pedi asked permission before using a razor and made my feet and hands look and feel wonderful! They offer beverages and the prices are cheaper (32 for a mani/pedi) than at CK. They have brand-new massage chairs, the best I've sat in. They autoclave their equipment, too, so no worries about hygiene. I will definitely go back there! read more

Outstanding service - very friendly, professional, clean and welcoming. My new go-to for pedicures.

Visiting Charlottesville and had a great pedicure and brow wax here-very pleased with the quality service and prices. Would definitely come again. read more

I have been a customer at Nice Nails many times and I have never been disappointed. When you arrive you are greeted with a beverage, and a courteous welcome. I've never had to wait long and once seated I feel as if I'm the only customer in the shop! Everything is neat and tidy and the shop is bright and cheerful as are the folks that work there! I'll be back! read more

This is my new favorite place in town to get a quick mani/pedi. I used to be a loyal customer to some other places in town since I was a young teenager, but ever since shellac nail polish became such a thing I've had to find a different nail salon. I tried gel polish a couple times but it always left my nails feeling really weak and peeling. Maybe it works for some people. That's great! It doesn't work for me and suddenly, even at places that I had gone to for years, that moment I said I didn't want the shellac, I would be treated gruffly and with hostility (I suppose it's because the gel polish is so much more expensive). BUT I have never experienced this here! It's such a relief. They ask you in the beginning which you would prefer, but then treat you really nicely the whole time no matter what you're getting done. It makes me feel less like a herded cattle with a wallet, and more like a valued customer. Also, my friend is neurotic about getting infections from nail salons, and they very patiently and politely (and even happily) gave her tips on how to avoid infections. The ladies are all really nice. read more

I love this place. I atmosphere is always friendly and they are always welcoming. I have been getting my nails done by Tina for about 8 years by now and I love her new place. I tell all my friends to go here and have never had a disappointed friend! read more

I have been a customer of Nice Nails for about 2 years. I came to them, the first time, to get a manicure before my wedding. Everything was perfect. Since then, I have referred many of my friends and acquaintances to this place, and ALL of them have been satisfied. I love that they know my name and know what I want when I am there. Tina is very sweet and attentive, while Steven lends a comical relief to my day. I have even moved since I became a customer and now happily travel the 45 minutes from my home to get great service!! read more

I am so sad to have to give this review! I went there only because I had a gift certificate for over a year. But, after review, I thought they were good and went. I am not the type to get my nails done, so, I only went because of the gift certificate. They did a great job then. I went back a bit later to have them done again, and they were fine. I went back a third time to get them removed as my natural nails were growing out. And they put me with a new tech. She literally tore my gel nails off. It was so painful. One of the owners took over finally because they could see I was in pain. It was awful. They were nice enough to upgrade my manicure for me at a lesser cost. However, I went back in just less than two weeks ago to just have a normal manicure so my natural nails had a breather. And I was stuck with that same lady that almost took my nails off my fingers. And the owners weren't busy. I am only mad because she talked me into a shellac manicure, which is fine, but she didn't take her time with my already delicate nails, and now, a week into my expensive manicure, they are all broken. She should have been careful and wasn't. I'm so livid and don't want to go back because obviously I wasn't good enough or memorable clientele and they passed me off to her. My nails now look like crap and it's been not even two weeks. I'm not happy. I would love to call and complain, but I'm sure they won't care. I'll go somewhere my money MIGHT be appreciated. read more
