My first time here and it did not disappoint! Phoebe and her staff were attentive and thorough. I went in with my family and we did gel manicures and pedicures. Pricing was very reasonable! The vibes were relaxing and very chill. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a solid local place! read more

I got a full set about 6 months ago at Number One Nails and was going back for fills every 2-3 weeks which I was always happy with. I decided to have the set removed today to go back to natural nails for a bit and I am really happy with how my nails came out given I had the hard fill material on for so long. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the salon is lacking a calm/spa feel, but they certainly are quick with their service, they do a quality job, I will definitely keep coming back for my usual manicure schedule. read more

I've been here twice for a gel fill, and Phoebe has been phenomenal. Never been out of a place in 40 minutes for a fill, but here that's all it tool which o appreciate so much. She does a great job shaping and more importantly the nails do not lift or break. Had them on for 4 weeks!! Before getting a fill and no breaks or lifting. read more

DANGEROUS!!! I NEVER complain about anything but this place is dangerous for your health. Dirty, used tools were taken out of a drawer and I watched in horror as the nail tech wiped the tips with alcohol. News flash: alcohol does NOT kill HEPATITIS C! I stopped her and asked for STERILE tools. She argued with me that she had sterilized them with alcohol. I asked again for sterile tools, to which she finally got up and got truly sterile equipment, still in the autoclave bag. She then proceeded to do my nails in hatred. I even tipped her and she just gave me a dirty look. Do NOT allow any place to do your nails unless you personally witness the tools coming out of a sterilization bag that SHOWS the watermark seal of being truly sterile. read more

So the positive first. I have to say for once, the nails stay on. No lifting! Now for the other issues. The shape is never right. I always ask for coffin and always get squared. My nails are always filed crooked at Least 2 of them end up crooked every time. They told me my nails grow crooked lol. I went to nail salons for the last 25 years and my nails never "grew crooked" until now. It's because it's filed that way. A couple of the techs there are very nice but they have one (which I won't name or call out) I know she's popular because she's the only one who can do designs.... But she charges more and more and more every time u go. One week you might pay $70 and before you know it.... It's $100 for a fill! Just to add metallic which literally took her 2-5 mins more.... Made my fill $90. These are exquisite designs. I was hoping this was my permanent nail place now but after about a year.... And referring them to other people also.... I'm done. read more

Seriously one of the best nail salons I've ever been to! They're so kind and do an INCREDIBLE job. My friend and I went today after having a not so good experience at another CT salon and this place was perfect! No complaints whatsoever. 10/10 recommend! read more

I went into this nail salon the other nite. To get my nails done. Now I had them done previous and they turned Brown!!! so went back in and got them done again. They are the gel nails. didn't think I would get charged again but they did. Ridiculous! Now when i called they told me i could write a check. The woman there is so rude! it may be the owner. So, when I paid I starting writing a check. They said no! we don't accept checks. They totally ignored my comment about the check. so I had to leave and get cash. the owner was so rude and stated leave your license or your phone!! Just to shut her up I left my phone and got cash. Traffic was so bad it took me about 30 min to get the cash. And also there was some blonde girl in there that had to put her two cents in which wasn't necessary. She had blonde and straw like hair. She had the nerve to say "oh don't rip them off". I was like mind your own business!, and basically told her to go pound sand. I should have told her to take care of that nappy blonde hair of hers! Moral of story...I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE! They talk Chinese or whatever it is and are so damn loud! Just plain ignorant!!! and they suck at nails!!!! read more

I've gone here twice now and I have been satisfied with both of my visits! The staff is very friendly, welcoming, and talented at their art. read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. The nail tech was super rough and rude! When I asked her to take off my dip completely as is normally done, she scolded me and said, "If you were smart, you would understand what I'm saying to you!" - - - Folks like her should not own any business establishment! read more

Phoebe is the best! I've been coming to her for years now. Highly recommend!! Great service

Pheobe is awesome!! I was referred by a friend and I'm so happy I went to see her. My nails and eyebrows came out perfect!! I live in Manchester but I will definitely drive out to get pampered by her again ! Thank you Pheobe !!! read more

New Management and Great service. My nail tech Ty does amazing things. I recommend this place to all my friends. Clean, Calm & Friendly..... Did I mention affordable!!! read more

Outstanding service from the best nail tech I've ever had, Phoebe!! For those of you who used to go to designer nails in Rocky Hill you are in luck she has resurfaced as the co-owner of #1 nails working with her husband and a few great employees. I can't say enough about the quality, speed of service and price!!! Pass the word and bring her some business!!! read more

I've been going here for almost a year now and will only go here for my nail services. Phoebe does an amazing job with dip powder and gel color. I constantly get compliments on my nails. Their color choices also include a wide range of options (a perk). Highly recommend giving this place a try. After several years of trying different places, this is my go to nail salon. read more

I came here because it was conveniently near a friend of mine's work and I have not stopped since. They are so nice here and ACTUALLY make an effort to talk to you and start conversations while doing your nails. I get acrylics here and come every three weeks for a fill. The guy that works here always does my nails and always does a PHENOMENAL job. I mean out of this world. He takes his time and focuses on detail and makes sure everything is perfect and exactly how I like it. I drive about 40 minutes to get my nails done here and it is 100% worth it every time. read more

I have finally found the right place to get my nails done. The staff is very friendly and helpful!! This place is super clean and doesn't have the typical fumes smell like most places does. read more

No matter who does your nails you will not be disappointed! This place is clean, friendly, and quick. They know what they are doing.

I've been disappointed with my nails before but this is one time I actually hate how they turned out. I got the dipping powder, and first off I picked a color that I wouldn't say I loved, but there weren't many options to select from. Once she started taking my precious set off, she noticed a few nails had tips, and her and her coworker started talking so I couldn't understand what they were saying but of course they made sure to ask where I got them done before. So after pointing out that they were previously done wrong, they said the right way to do it. At that point I was excited thinking I'm going to have amazing nails, especially after reading all the great reviews. I've been getting dipping powder nails for almost 3 years, and never have I had grainy looking nails. Also, I've never had gel polish put on top of dipping powder. The main point of dipping powder is that it's healthier for your nails and you don't need use the harmful UV light. They didn't even clean my cuticles or clean off all the cotton fuzz after taking the previous polish off. On a positive note, I had a good pedicure, although they do not use a fresh/clean set of tools each time. read more

Let me start with the fact that I've been getting my acrylics done for 6 years now. I used to go to number one nails when it was under a different ownership and had different staff than now. Once it was under new management, I found a great nail salon at Super nails and spa 2, but the rest of my family still went to number one nails so I figured I'd give it a try. The day i got my nails done, I've never had a worse job done in my 6 years of having acrylics. I showed him a physical picture of what i wanted which was coffin and what i recurved was not coffin in the slightest bit. After 2 weeks, 4 nails have broken off WITH my real nail while doing the simplest tasks such as scratching MY DOG. They're not out grown at all, so this should have never happened. Don't go to this establishment, it's horrible read more

It took me a VERY long time to find a decent nail salon in CT, and this is it. I moved here from Florida (where inexpensive, amazing nail salons are a dime a dozen) and probably visited 30 different places before finding Tina at Number One Nails. I've been coming here for years now and she knows exactly what I want and does an amazing job. Never have a problem getting an appointment either. read more

I highly recommend this nail salon! The person who has been doing my nails for about a year moved to this location and I followed him here! Excellent nail techs are hard to find and Tai is the BEST! My nails are perfect every single time!! This salon is clean, pleasant and accommodating. read more

I've gone here quite a lot and have always had consistently good manicures and pedicures. They tend to last a while, too. If you're looking for a decent place, go here. You won't be disappointed. read more

This place has been taken over and has new ownership by Phoebe and her husband Tai. I have followed Phoebe from salon to salon for many years and I'm so happy she finally got a salon of her own. I'm extremely particular about having my nails and pedicures done and have tried numerous places and people. After finding Phoebe I decided that was it! She's very detailed, they look natural, she's quick and very reasonably priced. Anyone I've taken there says the same thing. The other staff she's brought with her are all equally as conscientious as she is, I've tried them all when she's been too busy. With all the competition in the area, this place stands out and definitely worth giving them a try. Her business is starting to build up. I hope people don't make the mistake of associating her with the previous owners. Great service!! read more

Horrible. Do not go here. The pedicure took forever. I'm not sure the dude who did my pedi was even 18, let alone certified to do nails! I had them put on an acrylic nail on one of my big toes because I'd broken it by accident and it looked ridiculous lol. It took THREE of them to figure out how to do this AND they cut me twice. Charged me $28 and looked at me sideways when I gave a $4 tip -- I would've given nothing but I'm in the beauty industry myself and I know how that feels! It was dirty too. I'm talking gnats everywhere and old moldy food near the bathroom. Unsterile instruments used over and over again. For real just don't go. Find another place. read more

I have been going to Phoebe for over 6 years and am so pleased she finally owns her own salon. Disregard any old reviews, they are from the previous owners. Since she took over it is lovely and they do a great job. read more

i ONLY came in here because my daughter was in a class in the same shopping center but i'd never come back. just kind of dirty, barely any magazines, and obnoxiously loud chinese television (on someone's phone!) playing. the pedicure was pretty rough, and whenever she finished with a tool she threw in in the water where my feet were to soak. kind of gross feeling all this stuff swirling around my feet. AVoid! read more

this place is absolutely disgusting... had my eyebrows waxed just a few days ago and i immediately broke out all over my brow line. they didn't even do my eyebrows symmetrical and had me lay down on an uncleanly bed in the back--just to do my eyebrows. don't know how many heads have laid on that pillow but i don't want to know. this place is so dirty... never coming back. read more

When I walked in and saw there were no customers, even though it was the lunch hour, I should have turned right back around. The pedicure itself was just okay. I'm giving the place two stars mostly on the basis that it felt like the whole place had a thin layer of slime, and the ambiance was non-existent. The tubs felt dirty, and I'm not confident that the instruments used were sterilized. read more

HORRIBLE I went for a manicure and after telling the woman three times that I did not want a Gel manicure because it ruins my nails she finally said ok. My French manicure was messy looking, my nails were still rough like she forgot to file them after she cut them and only used a top coat and the white (very chunky looking) tips. Usually they will put a light pink or cream color on. I had to go to CVS and get a nail file and a light color to put on top. I went in on a Friday afternoon and they were already chipped by Saturday. The place was also dingy looking and not very clean. I will never go back. read more
