First of all, my nails turned out well. What is very annoying is that the techs seem to stay on…read moretheir iPhones while working on your nails, stopping to look at messages. Also, I went in yesterday for fill in and French on toes. $143 . When I first arrived, there were only two pedicure chairs occupied, and the rest had techs in them. They directed me to a chair that a young lady tech with a pillow was sitting in, and she had to get up to let me sit there. It was just strange. It is not very friendly that the techs are on their phones unbelievable while working with you. When I had my eyebrows done, the girl had an audiobook on her phone, listening the whole time. Just strange.

Excellent customer service. They pay attention to detail. The salon is always immaculate.read more

Mimi did my nails and they are beautiful!! She was quick and efficient. I have zero issues with…read moreher, she's fabulous! My issue is this; I get my nails done (gel) every 3-5 weeks in Wilmington at Posh Nails and have been since they've opened. The highest I've ever paid for my gel nails is $50 for cat eye, otherwise I pay $40 every single time! In WILMINGTON! At Sunshine, I paid $50 for what would have cost me $40 back home. Here visiting family. Shallotte has crazy prices compared to Wilmington and Leland. Happy with my nails and Mimi, unhappy with the high prices. Lesson learned. If you've "got it like that", go here. Otherwise, go to Leland or Wilmington.

I live in Shallotte so I gave this place a try. I was not disappointed. Sandra did my hair. She did a fabulous job. My 6 months of gray was gone and she did a great job with my haircut too. I booked another appointment in 6 weeks. The price was very good. I am very happy withe the results. I totally recommend A Cut Above.

I had been…read moresearching for a place for months with not much success and finally found an amazing beautician who I'm going to stick with permanently. She takes her time and makes you feel like you're her only client and is far advanced beyond her years of experience and keeps up to date with trends that aren't normally found in the Shallotte area. I'd recommend her to anyone!!

I recently moved to Ocean Isle Beach and was in desperate need of a pedi. I walked out of one…read more"upscale" salon due to the limited color selections. Made some calls to a few other places and finally ended up at Le Nails, where there were several technicians and clients. I was a Monday walk-in and did not have to wait long. Having come from Winston Salem where nearly every salon is being renovated with chandeliers, wine bars, mirrors everywhere, it is obvious that Le Nails is not in that league. But it is clean and comfortable. Based on my observation, they have clients who come frequently. My toes are now ready for flipflop season and I have no complaints. They offer a discount for cash (better than upcharging) and accept Apple Pay but not Venmo. Can definitely recommend and will go back again.
