OPI bubble bath dip powder

I decided to try Nini on a whim and had a pretty good experience. I made a quick reservation online for a Saturday morning and it wasn't crowded at all. There were only like 5 workers in there at the time, and nobody waiting at the front. Paul did my nails and I was impressed by how much he paid attention to detail. He did a great job shaping my nails to the shape I asked for and they were all even and beautiful. My only issue was the fact that he was so ROUGH with the drill and the file! He was just going to town and even drew blood at one point. I find this to be pretty common with male nail techs, is it just me? Other than being fairly painful, my nails turned out beautiful. I would go back but might choose a different tech next time.

Paul & Anne are simply wonderful, they listen to your individual needs and produce beautiful results. I won't go anywhere else ! Truly a fantastic team !

Such a great nail salon. I'm new to the area and needed to find a nail place. I made an appointment online with Kelly. I was greeted upon entering the salon and sat down and Kelly got to work. She helped me pick out a color for my nails, asked if I would like anything to drink. We had a nice convo and she did such an awesome job :) I will definitely be going back.

I loved my nails! Great customer service and very great work!

Just moved to the area about a week ago and this shop was recommended to me when I complimented my waitress on her nails at a local restaurant. I got my manicure done with Hannah and this is truly the best ombré accent I've ever had done. 10/10 would recommend and I will be back!

Too thick and not what i asked for

I was the first one there before they even open up, unfortunately three people ended up doing my nails they kept taking turns and my nails came out horrible very bulky and chunky. That was the worst $90. I spent in my life and I have been doing my nails for over 15 years. I had a picture of what I wanted, and it did not come out exactly like the picture, which was very disappointing. Just save your money and go somewhere else the customer service it was horrible because I kept explaining what I want to three different people. I spent two hours for

My pedi was great! My mani not so much. I'm not from Charlotte and chose this place because of location and free drink (plus!). Pedicure was amazing. My manicure not so much. After sitting about 40 min just waiting for my nails to dry with a small fan (that looks like something on a dashboard of a car) all of my nails (painted with the same polish smeared by the time I had gotten to my car. I've always had a top coat applied on my nails as a last step but I didn't get this here. Not worth sitting through again by asking to have a redo. Chalking it up to lesson learned.

Great experience! Made an appointment and they started my pedicure right on time. Jennifer was wonderful, personable and talented. I showed her a picture for my nails (full set w gel) and she replicated it perfectly. My pedicure (with Gel polish) was excellent as well. My feet are so soft. Can't wait to come back!

I am very happy with my pedicure, gel polish. I am not so happy with my manicure. I usually always get SNS. I tried Ninis because it was close and convenient. I have never had an SNS manicure done where they put a gel UV treated clear coat on top. My nails are chipping, peeling, scratched on top and I got them done 4 days ago... I don't know if they need more training on how to do a SNS manicure but I know adding a gel UV coat is not the way. I'll be going elsewhere for my manicures.

Sandy is absolutely amazing!!!!! She always makes sure my nails are perfect. The salon is very clean and the staff is very friendly. I definitely think very highly of Nini Nails!

Terrible service and they do not speak English so they can't do simple pedicures. I do Not recommend this place at all.

I've been searching for a nail salon. Initially, reading the reviews made me feel like I possibly…read morecould call this business "home." I'd planned to get the BIAB manicure. I removed my polish before going seeing from multiple sources that the business was open on Sunday, 12/7/25. Not only did I waste my time & gas, I've never received a returned call or any communication to date. Clearly, the business was closed when I arrived. There was another business in a nearby suite that was opened once I made my way to Digits and Spikes' suite. To say I'm disappointed is understatement.

2.5 years after my start with Digits & Spikes I can say with certainty that this is the best nail…read moresalon in Charlotte. I'm pretty sure i've had every team member for my service and every single time, it is perfect. I have had fragile nails my whole life. Normal and gel polish come clean off my nails. Acrylics always break and damage my nails even more. Since starting BIAB with my girls, my nails are so much stronger and healthier. Their range of talent, colors, and service is the best i've ever received. The small space with appointments only is so personable. I hate going to a salon that feels like a factory; one in, one out, with questionable attention to detail. Always the opposite here. Snacks, coffee, water, good vibes, and comfy chairs is the cherry on top. I live in Dilworth and gladly battle the traffic for the best mani ever!

I have visited Top Q Nails along with my 83-year-old mother on numerous occasions. My most recent…read morevisit took place on Friday, September 5th, 2025. The visit started as many of the others had with a warm greeting from the receptionist/manager at the front. This time, we were greeted by name, and I was asked to check in while they prepared spaces for us. After checking in, my mother was placed in one of the first three chairs on the left side of the shop, and I was placed in the center section in the vicinity of my mother. On the website, I requested a classic manicure for myself and a deluxe manicure (gel) and pedicure for my mother. Based on my math, that should equate to just over $100.00. Now my mother suffers from Alzheimer's Dementia, which is known at minimum by the receptionist/manager, but because we have been there on numerous occasions, I would imagine more of the staff know as well. I say all of this to say that I felt we were taken advantage of; my mother, with her condition, will agree to any suggestion, and she was upsold services that I had not requested. Well, as the receptionist/manager put it to me at check out, "let's see what the damage is," the final bill was $224.25. That amount is more than 1/5 of my mother's total Social Security payment. When my mother was seated, I'm sure she was asked if she would like (luxury pedi, hot stone, etc.), and I'm sure she agreed. That explains why I didn't make a fuss at check-out, but as a result, not sure we'll return. That's unfortunate because I like the shop and it's convenient for us, but this is not the first time that this has taken place in that shop. The receptionist/manager stated that she would put a note in our profile for future visits. Just a short bit of social commentary, this kind of business practice has been going on forever; it just seems that now it's rampant! PS: I attempted to post this review without a rating, but I couldn't, so I reluctantly rated it a five based on services provided, but I would rate it a one based on business practices. I just took another look at the receipt and there is a charge of $20.00 labeled additional extra?

Previously, I'd been with my technician for 20+ years. I was referred to Vintage Nail Bar in Charlotte. Even though there were many salons closer to my new home, I went to see Steven based on this recommendation. I was not disappointed! He was so nice, friendly, and on time for my appointment. The salon was spacious and clean. My husband had a pedi with Vin and said he was great, too. There was another technician there, Pim, who seemed so kind - always smiling at incoming customers. I understand she does a great job with builder gel and will try her, too, in case Steven isn't available. For reference I am over 60 years young () and wanted a natural looking nail, thin on the sides and top. I'm so happy to have found this nail salon!

Kelly was my technician and she did a fantastic job. She was meticulous in the preparation of my nails for polish. She gave a very relaxing foot and lower leg massage, as well. Her polish application was perfect and she gave each coat time to dry. The result was a mani/ pedi that should last for a long time. It's already been three days with a lot of gardening and dish washing, and my hands still look perfect. Usually several nails would be showing signs of wear by now. I'm super happy and will definitely be back soon. I may have found my new "go-to" nail salon. Note: the place was busy on this Thursday afternoon. I'm glad I had an appointment.

There is a parking lot and a parking deck where I found parking. It is upstairs. The facility is nothing fancy, the pedicure chairs are massage chairs. They have a TON of polish options both gel and not, so that was nice but I found the bottles to be sticky when searching for a color. I wasn't rushed when picking a color which was nice. It was HOT inside. It was an 81 degree day at the beginning of April so maybe they weren't prepared for that yet (they did have fans on) but I was extremely hot. They had the radio on so some commercials played, not constant music. I wasn't offered a drink or any beverages. The nail tech was rough on my nails and feet, there were several points I was uncomfortable and even wondered if I might bleed. I do have cuts on my toes after. She did do a thorough job with a nice leg massage including wax treatment. My nails looked really nice afterwards. It took about an hour for a gel pedicure.

The foot and arm/hand massages were good. The foot paraffin was good. When I took off the nail polish from my toes, my toes were not discolored or infected. I did use tea tree oil after the pedicure. Service was good. The two women working were nice. I would go back again.

Upon entering, I was greeted by the manager and advised that I wanted a manicure with gel polish. Sofi provided my service. During the first several minutes, she repeatedly tried to persuade me to switch to acrylic or SNS, despite my clearly and consistently stating that I did not want those services. Additionally, she appeared frustrated when I changed my mind about my polish color. As a customer, I believe I have the right to adjust my color choice--especially when the original color was not fully available or sealed. What was most concerning was that Sofi began speaking about me to the manager in their language during my service. I understood the conversation and had to address both of them directly, advising that it was inappropriate to discuss me while my manicure was still in progress. This was very unprofessional and uncomfortable. Although I paid and tipped, I will not be returning. I hope this serves as a reminder for the business to be mindful of how they speak about customers--especially since you never know who may understand the language.
