My wife and I have been going to Sindy Nails for more than 10 years, which in today's world is about three business lifetimes and two reality TV marriages. Now, I believe in telling the truth. There was a period when Jim sold the place, and things went downhill faster than a shopping cart with a bad wheel. We stuck around for a while, hoping things would improve, but it just wasn't the same. Then Jim bought it back, and suddenly it was like somebody turned the lights back on and remembered how to run a great nail salon. Every two weeks, like clockwork, you'll find us sitting in those chairs getting pampered far beyond what a couple of senior citizens probably deserve. Christine and Lin are absolutely the best. They know exactly how we like our nails done, remember what's going on in our lives, ask about our family, and genuinely care about us. After all these years, we're not customers anymore; we're family members who happen to pay for nail services. The quality of their work is consistently outstanding. We never leave disappointed, and after a decade of visits, that's saying something. Most businesses are thrilled if they can get you back a second time. Sindy Nails has kept us coming back for over ten years because they combine exceptional service with exceptional people. I've always said that anybody can paint nails. The special places are the ones that make you feel welcome the moment you walk through the door. That's exactly what Christine, Lin, Jim, and the entire team do. Five stars without hesitation. If you're looking for a nail salon in Fredericksburg, stop reading reviews and make an appointment. Trust an old guy who's been around long enough to know the difference between good service and great service. This place is the real deal. read more

I had only started going to Sindy's. When I was paired with Mimi I knew that we'd work out well. She's delicate in her work, pays very close attention to detail, and she's willing to try out ideas for nail creations. It's always important to go in with an open mind whenever you bring in any inspiration. Even when I showed Mimi tik tok videos and photos, she did her version of it and it's so pretty! One time she tried out a cat-eye ombré and I loved the outcome. We don't really talk much during the service, but I'm honestly not much of a talker when I'm getting my nails done. I just like to relax and watch the work. If you're looking for new nail tech, definitely request Mimi. She's great at what she does and I'm sure you'll like her work just as much as I do. read more

The technician who did my mani-pedi scrubbed my heel so hard that skin was broken. It has since become infected. This photo was taken after cleaning it and before the infection started, for those with light stomachs. I spoke to the woman at the front and she did give me $10 off. Just something to be aware of. Otherwise, good experience. read more

Great experience! Everyone was welcoming and so friendly. Not rushed. Relaxing and proper care was taken of my damaged nails from another salon recently. My technician was Christine. I highly recommend her! My pedicure was so wonderful and very relaxing. She did a beautiful job on both my fingers and toes! She took extra time with me and was super gentle while acknowledging that my natural nails had been recently damaged by another salon. I now have a lovely French mani pedi for a very special occasion. Once that's over, I'll be focused on working to restore my natural nails. Very pleased. Also, they are a very hygienic salon. They have multiple autoclaves. They use new nail files for every customer. They put a new protective cover over the pedicure bowl every time. The owner is super nice too. No one was rushed. I'll be back when I need my nails taken care of in the future. I felt I was in good hands with Christine. I'll try to post some before and after pics later. They're on my husband's phone. read more

My nails were done very nicely very sloppy though the worker was more concerned about the women that we're trying to walk around me to see what my nails were looking like instead of telling the women to stop coming around me. I did have My Husbandthere. The manager didn't notice that with the workers. They were acting very disgusting. I guess you can say trying to show off in front of him because he was the only male in the nail salon but other than that, the service was great. They actually didn't even ask me what soap I wanted. They automatically assumed I wanted the basic $35 one. I don't know if it's because I look like it was my day off or something. I don't know if they didn't like what I was wearing. Thought I was sloppy didn't think I had enough money, but they didn't even offer me like the other women the salts I didn't like that they were very judgmental. read more

My technician hurried through my appointment. He (Keven) was very rough and just wanted to get finished. I came home with a large cut on my big toe and rough feet. My pedicure didn't go very well either. One thumb nail was so short I had to file my other one. In some instances the polish did not reach my nail bed or the sides of my nails. Very disappointed! read more

I was having a great day, until I entered Sindy's for my manicure / dip. I admit I arrived five minutes late. However, that does not equate to being berated and spoken to in a very unprofessional manner by Casey. She grabbed Her hair / head and in front of others including my nail technician told me she tried to contact me to see if I could come in early. She said she called me twice. Unfortunately I missed her call. Not knowing what she was talking about... I said I didn't get a call from you. She stormed from behind the desk and went out the side door mumbling something. I was shocked and confused. I've been going to Sindy's for YEARS. Im not sure what was wrong with the receptionist. She was RUDE and more than disrespectful. I should have left then and went to another nail salon, but I didn't. My mind was spinning. My technician kept saying don't worry it's okay she is always like that. I tried to speak kindly to the receptionist after my appointment was completed. Despite me apologizing for running five minutes late and explaining I didn't get her call she continued her rudeness. There have been many times over the years I have waited on the technician to finish a client. There has also been many times when they have called to see if I could come in early. I've dropped what I was doing and rushed over to help them out. So I was surprised at Casey's interaction with me and how even at the end of our conversation she continued to show her TRUE COLOR and her complete and utter rudeness and disrespect. read more

A great place to go for once in a while visit. I wouldn't go here you are going regularly. I went with my friends and we got pedicures and manicures. I got a gel manicure and I love it! The lady who did one of my friends cut her toe twice. The staff is usually nice except a select few. Most staff are not very chatty so that can be good or bad it's on your opinion. In the rooms they have televisions playing waterfalls with calming music. Overall they do a good job but it's nothing to special. read more

I am very particular when it comes to whom I go to when I get my nails done. I have not been very satisfied with any of the places I've been to for a while now. Today I tried Sindy's Nail salon and I have to say this place is amazing. They were very accommodating and I was given a time that was convenient for my schedule. The place was amazing and the friendly staff made me feel so comfortable. Mimi my tech did a splendid job on my nails. She was very thorough and made me feel super relaxed. Everyone there was great. Guys, if you want a place to pamper yourself and have some "me time", this is it! I am definitely coming back! read more

I came in for 2 full sets and 2 pedicures. I ended up not getting one of the pedicures because it took Giao over 2 hours to complete my nails. Also she filed into my nail bed and now a part of my natural nail is hanging from the skin. Extremely painful! Giao also cannot shape well and laid the acrylic lumpy and uneven. She does a really messy job. My daughter and I had acrylic and top coat all over our cuticles. When I asked her about it she said oh you can just wash it off. After 2 days the nail color was already chipping. I paid $90 for this and the nails are already lifting. I chose her because of her pictures on yelp, but was left very disappointed. Won't go back to her. read more

Horrific Experience at Sindy's Nail and Spa - Poor Customer Service by the owner I am writing this review to express my frustration and disappointment with my recent experience at Sindy's Nail and Spa in Spotsylvania, VA. Unfortunately, this was not the first time I encountered poor customer service with the front desk staff, and after this incident, I felt compelled to share my experience. I went to the salon for a scheduled nail appointment, expecting a relaxing and professional experience. However, during my visit, I had the unfortunate experience of being treated disrespectfully by the owner, Jim McMackin. While my nail technician was in the process of working on my nails and determining my service (acrylic removed and full set), the owner approached me in an aggressive, degrading, and rude tone, saying, "YOU DID NOT TELL ME THAT YOU WANTED TO HAVE YOUR NAILS SOAKED OFF." I was taken aback by his tone and felt deeply disrespected. Despite my efforts to remain calm and composed, his words were unnecessary and uncalled for. Prior to this, the nail technician had been discussing the details of the service, including soaking off my old acrylic nails, and we were in the process of clarifying everything. But without warning, the owner stepped in to address the situation in an overly confrontational manner. What happened next was even more shocking. After I responded with silence to his disrespectful tone, he said, "DO YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID TO YOU TWICE?" in a nasty, condescending way, as if I were a child. It felt like he was intentionally trying to belittle and intimidate me for simply not engaging with his rudeness. What is even more disappointing is that this behavior seems to be a pattern, and it is especially troubling given that the owner is male. His disrespectful attitude toward women is not only unprofessional, but it is also completely inappropriate for a business that primarily serves female customers. It is incredibly sad that someone who owns a business lacks the basic fundamentals of customer service. He definitely needs proper training on how to treat customers with respect and professionalism. This place could have been great, but unfortunately, due to the owner's clear lack of customer service skills, it is seriously underperforming. As a paying customer, I should never have to endure this kind of treatment, and I won't be returning. I do not recommend this place. Very disappointing. read more

Service wise they're good, they fit me in as a walk in for pedicure and full set........ Mind you this is after me showing her the inspo pic multiple times great for older ladies who get their nails done but it wasn't the quality work I like or wanted. :/ they literally look like $3 KISS press ons from CVS read more

I was lucky enough to get Mercedes as my tech to fix my nails at Sindy's. The day before I had the unfortunate event of going to a strange place and having a disastrous experience leaving my nails looking like a toddler did them. See my review on Luna's Nails & Spa. Mercedes was AMAZING and made them look beautiful! She's forever my go to girl from now on, and I'm done trying any other salon. She's also a Medical Nail Technician if you're in need of one. Go see Mercedes! You won't be disappointed!! read more

service was great! its usually quiet, upscale. turned out better than it started. toes came out nice.

Love this salon. I love feeling like it's part of a family. And I like sitting down and enjoying chatting with the nail technicians.

I normally give a five star review for Sindy's Nail Salon services. My tech, Lisa, decided to give me a basic pedicure rather than the pedicure that I had requested when I made the appointment. She told me to get it next time.... My manicure looks beautiful, however, my cuticle areas are VERY sore. That has never happened prior to today. QUICK "sorrIes" do not make up for the day of pampering that I had so looked forward to. read more

Being a male, I really never thought about going somewhere to have my toenails cut. I did bite the bullet and went to Sindy's and now I would not attempt to do my own nails as Mercedes does a great job. read more

Awful. Mae cut me 5 times because she was so rough with filing! She then tried removing my existing acrylic nails with a plastic nail!!! Very painful. And then burned me when she finally decided to remove them with the electric file. Very rushed and thick on the polish. First and last time there! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would and this is why. i came to Sindy's nails in complete despair as I had a horrible experience with a separate salon. I asked if they had availability to fit me In to fix my manicure and design set. Without hesitation, the owner swooped me up and assured that they will take care of me. I sat down with Giao and she swiftly got to work. The whole time talking to me and ensuring I'm comfortable. What I originally thought was lost hope in the nail design I originally wanted she brought to Life. The service, expertise and above reproach customer service was more than enough. Beyond thankfil And will Continue to be a client here read more

My fiancée made an appointment to get her acrylic nails removed. Chuy, the nail technician did not state what she was going to do, she just forcibly scraped the nails off causing lasting damage to my fiancée's nails. Chuy told her to go wash her hands in the sink and then before she returned to the chair to get her purse and phone, Chuy already had someone else in the seat, ready to start the next service. When my fiancé asked Chuy to fix her SEVERAL mistakes, chewy refused and did not notice the obvious errors. She also did not answer nail care questions. She did not say a price for the service or escort her up front to check out. There was a complete lack of customer service. Will not be returning. read more

I am unsure of how this establishment receives such positive reviews despite the lack of customer service. I am not one to write reviews especially for a business predominately for women but after the experience my wife received yesterday I want to make sure other women are not subjected to this extreme hostile environment. My wife was taken care of by a technician named "Tom". My wife even showed Tom a picture of what she wanted her nails to look like as she's done in this establishment numerous times before and had great results from other nail technicians. Her experience yesterday, the final product was no where near what she wanted and instead of making a scene with the tech, my wife let the manager Holly know quietly and subtly that maybe Tom isn't the best at that particular nail style for future customers. Instead of Holly taking the employee to a back room or wait till after business hours to talk to him she did it at the front desk while my wife was in the process of waiting to pay. This is where things took a turn for the worst as Tom started to say loudly yell "Is she b**ching?!" numerous times, before loudly yelling/pointing directly at my wife "You f**cking b**tch" multiple times. What amazes me is that during this tirade by Mr. Tom which other women and children are present, the woman behind the desk still continues to take my wife's payment. My wife was beyond embarrassed as she doesn't like confrontation and proceeded to walk out. I was actually on speaker phone during this whole ordeal and heard the entire thing. As I pulled in I went in to the establishment to speak to the technician, Tom was not remorseful in any way but had the audacity to justify his actions and continue to put my wife down verbally. Holly did refund my wife for her experience but this is not about money but a lack of professionalism. This is verbal assault from a male to a female customer. I did speak to the owner and while I believe Jim to be genuine of his apology I am floored by his decision to continue Tom's employment at his business instead of immediately terminating him. Tom was put on a "final warning" for verbally assaulting my wife. My concern and reason for writing a review is that Holly the Manager said to me that Tom has a history of "explosive behavior" and has had issues in the past. Take it for what it's worth but it's hard to support a local business that treats their customers with this level of disrespect and then continues to stand behind their employees for such behavior to happen again. As there are plenty of other nail salons to chose from in the area. Unfortunately I would stay away from this one until they fix employment issues within their establishment to make it a safe environment where women are not verbally assaulted. Pictures below are firstly, a picture from Pinterest of what my wife showed Tom, the technician. The additional pictures are what she received. read more

I received a gift card and went to Sindy's for the first time for a full set. Everything was great at first. They were quick to get me in despite how busy they were. Once my nails were done i noticed closer to my cuticles my nails were really red and looked as if the acrylic was imbedded in my natural nail. I mentioned it to the lady and she said it was fine. I went to a different salon for fill a few weeks later but they didn't want to touch my nails because they did not look okay. They helped me remove them and sure enough i have HUGE indents on nails from the lady drilling/filing to much. It will be awhile till i can get my nails done again (Pics aren't the best) read more

I have been to this salon a few times in an attempt to find a nail technician that is actually "licensed" and/or "skilled", but most of all RESPECTFUL (of me and the fact I am utilizing their business). This salon did not fail to disappoint. I thought some of the negative reviews regarding rudeness may have been personal or slightly exaggerated, but they were not. If you aren't treated rudely or disrespectful by the front desk staff you will most certainly get your share of disrespect from a nail technician. I am over spending MY money in establishments that don't respect me as a person/human being. Heck, I can learn how to give myself a manicure/pedicure....which is what I have learned to do during this quarantine. My self respect is far more important than some half a$& nail job by technicians with bad attitudes and poor skills!! read more

I had the best experience at Sindy's! Start to finish was amazing. I went in yesterday to have a botched gel manicure fixed I'd gotten two days prior (at a different salon). I called the day of. The receptionist was friendly and accommodated my work schedule so I'd be able to come in right after I got off. As soon as I got there the staff was welcoming. They sprayed my hands with sanitizer, everyone was wearing masks, and the place looked really clean and tidy. Hannah was my nail tech and she immediately got me started with soaking my nails to get the gel off. She stood with me and helped me a pick a color and even demonstrated the colors on her own nails. She was so gentle and kind while taking off my previous gel and fixing the shape. She made sure to ask if it hurt. My cuticles/surrounding skin was cut up from the previous manicure, the tech before had cut me several times so I was nervous and my fingers were still hurting. She took her time, I didn't feel like I was being rushed. Hannah was meticulous and efficient with the polish. It looks SO good! My cuticles have never looked so clean and tidy and the whole design is perfect in my opinion. The nails look and feel so natural. At the end I was venting to the manager/owner Jim and the receptionist about my bad experience at the other salon. They made me laugh and feel validated. I really felt like a valued client and a person, not just a customer with a wallet at Sindy's. From my experience at Sindy's it's obvious that they care about the client and the quality of their services. Jim runs a tight ship. He seems like a great man. I was recommended by coworkers who said Sindy's makes you feel welcomed, I was skeptical but they were not wrong. I'll definitely being going here from now on. It was an incredible first experience. read more

I really needed a self care day and decided to go here because it was close to the errands I needed to run. Also because I had gone here once before and was very happy. Not so much this time. The sole reason for my unhappiness was Jim. The receptionist was very friendly and told me how amazing the lady is who does facials. Jim told her she was taking too long. That should have been my clue to walk out the door. When I went back to get my mani/pedi I wanted red, like candy apple red. That bottle was low so the nail tech brought me a bottle of an orange red. I tried to explain I wanted red-red. Jim got mad at her and told her to get a color sheet then said something like "think"!! When she walked away he said something out loud about it. Not good. As I sat in the chair I watched him snap at employees. I was uncomfortable for them and almost left after my nails dried. Thankfully, i waited and had an AMAZING facial. The esthetician was so kind and did a great job. read more

Most recent visit I was horrified to see and hear who I assume is the manager aggressively admonish the front desk girl for touching her phone briefly in front of the entire establishment. It made me super uncomfortable. Later, I had my gel nails wrapped for removal before my pedicure and I wasn't sure if I was supposed to sit in a pedicure chair or at a manicure station. So I walked over to him to ask if he knew where I should be but his response made me feel small saying "you are SUPPOSED to be sitting right here" in a tone that seemed to suggest I was annoying him. I understand this place has people coming in and out constantly but he clearly is the owner or in some type of managerial position, so I felt he should have handled me more delicately? Either way, those two incidents made influenced me greatly and I won't be coming back. read more

I got my nails done last Thursday with my friend, who is a regular customer. This was my second time coming to this salon because my normal salon is far away. The first time was okay. This time, I got French manicure gel manicure, and after only two days, my thumb nail started chipping. It shipped to the point where the gel came off and now my nail is broken because it has no protection. Today, I started noticing that one of my nails on the opposite hand started chipping and now, the gel polish has started coming off completely. There are a couple of other nails that look like they may chip pretty soon. This is unacceptable because gel polish is supposed to last at least two weeks. The salon never responded to my email. I would not recommend because they rush, are not very friendly and they have so many people in and out. It's not personalized, quality service. I'll be going back to my normal spot. read more

got my nails done on April 11th by Yao (I believe that was her name) after the receptionist mentioned how good of a nail tech she is. When I arrived she took one look at one of the inspiration pictures I had and said she can do that then walked away to attend someone else. That wasn't really a problem for me, I'm fully aware that the place is busy especially at the time I came in but when I actually sat down with her it didn't take long for her to start being rude and for some reason she was adamant on sticking to a certain design when I really just wanted her to gather inspiration from the 5 or so pictures I had. Anyways, while she was doing them I could tell she was sort of speeding through them and skipping a few steps. The shaping of them was really well done, which is why I leave one star, but after that I noticed she didn't ask me to wash my hands before applying color, not sure if that makes a difference. Fast forward to when I got home and really took a good look at my nails and noticed that the application on some nails was inconsistent and had some streaky spots and the flower charms she added weren't sealed well because they were scratchy and kept getting caught on things. Apart from that I noticed that the skin around my nails was covered in some of the acrylic powder residue. I admit now that I should've taken a better look before leaving the salon but I was already needing to leave to attend to other errands and the cuticle oil she put on me made it hard to notice these things. 3 days later while I'm packing a suitcase for a trip I just got back from, I had 3 of the flower charms fall off while I wasn't really doing anything crazy with my hands. During my trip, a couple more fell off and 1 whole nail came loose and I had to remove it because it kept pulling on my real nail. I'm only writing this review now because I had one snap straight in half while I was grabbing the handle of my fridge earlier. It's been exactly 10 days since I got this set done and it's already coming off. My previous set done by a different nail tech at the same salon lasted me a month before I took them off. Im not here to ask for any kind of compensation or refund because I technically did get what I paid for but for over $100 that I spend on these, the nails should've lasted way longer and have been applied better. I hope the business can take this into consideration and the nail tech to use better practices because I expected better service and treatment from someone who's been doing this for over 10 years. read more

Sindy's Nails and Spa 2 - 4 days after getting them, done by Rosie - Hair Salons Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

We have been coming here for 7 years but since the ownership changed hands recently it's like night and day. Before it was a ballet of timely and through services, with the owner and front desk team working seamlessly to ensure services were being performed above expectations and on schedule. However today was a slow painful train wreck. Checked in and told there would be a wait for my husband and my pedicure but they would do his eyebrows wax while we waited. The person to do it was short with us and done in 3 minutes, we seemed an inconvenience to her. Then when I went to tip her as she was by the counter, she was actively arguing my husband should be charged more because he's a guy as I stood there holding cash for her. We were seen for our pedicures 30 minutes after our appointment time, they sat us and disappeared. 5 minutes later someone came and began mine while my husband marinated. After soaking for 20 minutes and 50 minutes from our appointment time with no service, my husband dried his feet and left to run errands. I'm throughly disappointed after the wonderful service we had here for years for the utterly downhill experience we had today. I hate to leave Lawn who is the sweetest and most amazing at pedicures but it's not worth the frustration and wasted time. read more
