I ended up here on a whim...best find in RVA. The exterior of the shopping center doesn't suggest what a fabulous gem is waiting inside. The salon is delightful and the owner and staff are all wonderful. Literally the best manicure I've ever had. Check them out, pronto and when they suggest the new gel -- just say yes -- you will NOT regret it. read more

I went to bring my girlfriend to do her nails and we called in before so to check on pricing and how everything works at this location (new to Va) price ended up being $60 for toes but when we got there they went to to back together talked then came and told us $100 for just her toes. Told them about what they said over the phone and they tried justifying that by saying "we thought you said, your name 1 big toe for $60 this lady must be high on nail polish. ‍ there's no other explanation for it... bad business and they just lost a customer who would have gotten her nails done twice a month. read more

Got a high quality pedicure here. I had an appointment and they took me right on time.

I arrived for a walk-in pedicure and immediately was greeted and welcomed. My operator, Rob was very helpful with the digital check-in process and soon began my pedicure. He was friendly, kind, knowledgeable and skilled. He informed me of some foot self-care that no one has ever told me before. I am very happy with the work and just as importantly, I felt comfortable, welcomed , respected and appreciated. I appreciate them and even though I have to travel almost an hour to the shop, they just gained a new customer. read more

Fantastic! The staff here are wonderful. I was worried the first time that I came here as I am very particular about the shape and little details of my nails. I always feel guilty for asking my nails be done certain ways, but in all honesty it was really what I wanted. Not only were my preferences welcome and encouraged - but they were carried out beyond the "T"! Sophia did my nails, however on visiting again Sophia paired me up with another great tech for my full pedicure. Great job! UPDATE: Still receiving compliments on nails, weeks later. Because of traveling, I have to push my upkeep visit out almost a week AND they still look great! read more

Sophia was very professional and efficient. She recommended a different service that was more along the lines of what I wanted (trying to grow out my nails and don't like thick overlays) and did an amazing job. read more

I will be moving to the area soon and I'm looking for a new nail salon. I chose Sophia Nails because they have such high reviews. I made a 630 appointment showed up on time however once I arrived I felt extremely rushed. The woman at the front door instructed me to go over to the wall and pick out a color but she seemed irritated with how long it was taking. She told me to sit down so they could just start but I didn't know what I even wanted done. When I asked for a price list that seemed to bother her more. As I was taking my shoes off another women brought over the price list and threw it in the chair. I thought maybe she was just trying to get it to me with out coming to close but when I handed it back to her she threw it to another chair. The 1st women then brought a basket of colors for me to look at and decided she would stand beside me and stare directly at me while I picked. It made me extremely uncomfortable. I'm assuming she wanted me to hurry like when I was looking at the wall. At this point I was over it and just wanted to leave but they had already started. I was told she had to do my nails at the same time as my feet which I thought would be great I could leave sooner. While doing my left hand was fine she wanted me to reach over my body so she could do my right. I held the position as long as I could then asked would she mind just coming to the other side because it was uncomfortable. She huffed and walked around the chair mad and pulled my hand. At this point I closed my eyes and just waited for the process to be over. The best part about the whole experience was the massage chair. I was willing to let all that go if my nails turned out nice but sadly they didn't and I wasted $100.00 read more

So if you're not careful, you'll miss this space! It's directly beside the I was in desperate need of a mani and pedi today and decided to try somewhere different. I normally go to Nails 4 U but my past few experiences haven't been pleasant. I pulled up and even though I was a walk in, I was immediately placed in the pedicure chair and helped! The water was a little cold but it's okay. There's more things in life to be mad about. Anywho, the reason why I had to give it 3 Stars is my nail tech didn't use any new/sanitized tools. I'm not sure if it's bougie of me to expect that, but it makes me feel much more comfortable! Will I be back? More than likely. Will I bring my own tools, absolutely! Lol read more

The nail technicians were talented and were conscientious about ensuring that my 90 year old mom could hear them through their masks and helped her move from the desk where she had her manicure to the drying station. read more

Wow! A friend and I tried Sophia's for the first time yesterday and we were not disappointed! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. My friend had the powder dip and an "Ocean" pedicure and I did the powder ombré and a "Mango" pedicure. My nails look great and I left feeling so happy to have finally found a new nail salon with great service AND great quality that is open on Sunday's. Thank you Sophia! read more

We all know how hard it is to find a good, quality, clean nail salon WITH good customer service, so when I found Sophia Nails I wanted to keep it to myself lol it's truly a hidden gem! & I told Sophia so, but I have a duty to my fellow Yelpers to share great businesses so here I am writing this review :) I have driven past many times but finally tried it out. The inside is so cute & relaxing, and the nail techs were friendly. The cost of a gel mani and pedi was pretty good for the area too. The best part about my visit was the owner, Sophia. She actually came over, asked my name and genuinely had a nice convo with me. I appreciate that as a new customer. Can't wait to come back!! read more

The second time I went there I was barely greeted when I walked in, and not at all by the lady who did my pedicure. The polish only lasted 4 day's. Overall, disappointing. read more

I've been to manyyyyy nails salons along the east coast but none compare to Sophia's!!! Amazing customer service & the quality of work is superb. They all take their time, pay close attention to detail while doing your nails, unlike other salons. I have a special family wedding to attend this weekend and Sophia took great care of me. If you're looking for great work, thorough service & want to feel pampered, this is THE ONE! read more

So I like the temp check. However I have never heard of a 30.00 manicure. FOR that reason alone irs a NO FOR ME. WTF. I dont pay nearly that much at nail salons that offer drinks fruit and ambiance. In addition the location....really read more

I'm so happy I came to this place! The reviews aren't lying when they tell you how wonderful it is here. Sophia is so friendly and genuinely wants to get to know her customers. I got a gel mani/gel pedi and I walked out feeling like a million bucks. The decor and feel of the place is lovely and very relaxing. They take their time to make sure their work is perfect. I highly recommend this place and as long as I'm living in the Richmond area, this is the place I'll be going to from now on. read more

Sophie Nails & Spa focuses on the client and is very professional! They have a lot of polish choices to choose from for different personal preferences. They also focus on keeping clean and sterilizing their tools and equipment. Na was the best technician I will be back! read more

Great experiences both times I've gone! Definitely recommend their services. Not open on Sundays anymore which is a bummer but FYI.

The staff were friendly and did a great job on my mani/pedi. As I was paying, I asked about their waxing services and mentioned I would have to come back another day to have my brows done. The owner insisted on doing my brows even though it was past closing time. This was a couple of months ago, but I do recommend this salon when they're open again! read more

Amazing service, the owner Sophia is so so nice. CLEANEST PLACE I've been to thus far. They use liners in foot tubs for pedicures which they dispose of after each person uses the chair, AND THEY STILL CLEAN IN BETWEEN. The tools are pre-packaged and opened in front of you so you know they're new to each person. Very well ventilated, it doesn't overwhelm you with a chemical smell. The quality is beyond impeccable and they can do just about anything you want nail wise! Highly recommend! Only place I trust to date!! read more

This place was very clean and they did a good job with my manicure and pedicure. They offer Dip nails which is supposed to be gentler than getting shellac. Note, they don't take American express. read more

I had been looking for a nail salon in the Charlottesville and Richmond area that provides nice customer service, a welcoming atmosphere and a nail technician who doesn't drill my skin instead of my nails. After doing some research, I saw nothing but excellent comments for Sophia Nails and Spa so I decided to give it a try. So, now I am ready to add to the list of other very pleased customers. I love this salon. Sophia and "Mai" are outstanding. They care about you and they talk to you!! What a concept! They asked what my name was and wanted to make sure I was comfortable and feeling relaxed and happy. No blood or redness on my fingers. As long as I am in the Glen Allen area, Sophia Nails and Spa will be my nail salon. Keep up the great work, Sophia and team!!! read more

I've been going to Sophia's ever since she opened. They are by far the best in the area and priced fairly. Sophia does awesome designs and is very creative. You get what you pay for. So for those saying it's over priced and you can pay less and get fruit, and better ambiance, etc elsewhere , I'd suggest going to a restaurant instead of a nail salon! read more

do NOT go here the service is horrible they were beyond rude and messed up my pedicure i had polish all around my toes!! and when i refused to let them do my nails they treated me even worse!! beware!! read more

For a $50 full set, they do not cut your cuticles or sanitize the tools. My friend said the lady who did the pedicure is very nice, but the man who done my nails are very impatient and has an attitude. He filed my nails like it's made of metal. For a first time customer, i am very disappointed about the whole experience. And will absolutely not coming back or recommend to anyone who wants a decent service. read more

Wow! What a nice place. It has been a while since a nail salon surprised me with the level of service I just received. Wonderful, new salon. Very clean. The team is super friendly and customer focused. The massage was great. My toes look amazing too! Definitely coming back here. read more

Sophia is wonderful! I struggled to find a nail shop that provided consistent quality service. I found Sophia Nails & Spa on Yelp. Wow! The atmosphere is clean, peaceful, and professional. The music is always great! Sophia is kind, professional, knowledgeable, and flexible. I enjoy my visits. She does everything she can to ensure my satisfaction. She makes sure that every customer feels special and receives the proper attention. My shellac nails and toes have lasted 5 weeks! Great work! read more

Great experience! The technician took her time and it's important because I always feel like nail salons rush through customers. I love my purple gel nails and I'm definitely going back! read more

Honestly, this was not my first choice of places to go only because I'd never been here before. The other place I attempted to go was closed so I decided to give Sophia Nails a try. Well I'm glad I did. It was a day that they didn't have a lot of workers, only 2 people were working, the owner and one other lady because the owner had let her employees take off after the holiday. That's says a lot to me. What really impressed me was that the owner did not rush thru to get people done quicker, she took time and care with each person and the customers that came in waited patiently. She didn't try to overload her books either, a young lady came in and wanted her and her moms nails done and she let her know honestly that she didn't have all her staff and would it be ok if she could come back tomorrow and the girl thankfully agreed. I got a mani/pedi and ended up talking to another customer and Sophia as she did my nails, I really enjoyed my experience here and my nails look great. I will definitely return! read more

First visit today - very happy. Sophia did my manicure and pedicure, and I could tell she takes great pride in her business. I only asked for the basic pedicure, but I felt very pampered. She even used hot stones! The shop is new and very clean. Please support this local entrepreneur! read more

loved this place. It is literally my new go to! It has 5 stars for a good reason. The staff is so friendly and they don't rush! The owner kept the place open just to finish our friends nails and talked to us about everything and we had some good laughs! The spa is nice and cozy and it's very clean! read more

This place is amazing. Beautiful place and they have a big selection of nail colors. The shellac color boxes they have come with regular nail polishes as well so you don't have to worry about finding a regular polish that matches. Sophia is awesome! read more

such a positive experience here! my pedicurist, Ema, was such a sweetheart and was so thorough. i don't get my nails done hardly ever, but this place won me over my feet are softer than a marshmallow read more

Let me start by saying the customer service was A-1! I was offered water, candy, told to let my tech know if I'm uncomfortable or in pain multiple times... Which I appreciated. I got a pedi which was amazing! Only bad thing was it didn't last long enough lol. I also got a full set, which is where the problem comes in. I got coffin shape, but the shape of my nails aren't even . I got them done a few days ago and keep looking at them disappointed. The shape is inconsistent and the polish is streaky. In their defense, I was asked how I like them. I didn't notice these imperfections until the next day. I have to give my experience 3/5 stars given how much I paid. read more

The ladies at Sophia Nails took such good care of my feet after a long 12 hour shift at work the day before. From the moment I walked in they had me set up in beautiful new massage chairs. The facility is clean and the ladies are diligent with their work. I will definitely be coming back! read more

My first time in Sophia's Salon. I saw Sophia herself for my nails and she was very professional and took her time and took great pride in her work, so refreshing !!! She clearly knows her business and is proficient at it. The best was her ongoing smile throughout the visit. The salon was meticulous!! I wish her all the best in her new business and plan on returning without any hesitation whatsoever. Looking forward to a Pedicure next! I wish more business owners took pride in the quality of their work as Sophia does. Everyone I encountered was very friendly and accommodating! Kathleen K. :) read more

I am from out of town and three of my girls needed their nails done for school. I looked up nail salons in the area and found Sophia Nails & Spa. I saw that the salon had great reviews. I called and was told to bring my three girls in 30 minutes. I did just that. When we got there, there was a wait. I had no problem waiting. However, another customer came in and saw the wait and let Sophia know that she would come back. Sophia let her know that one of the technicians would be finished shortly. She then proceeded to take this customer even though we are waiting. I didn't say anything until another customer came in and that customer too, was getting service before my girls. I am not sure if the reason is because those customers were White and we are African American. But what I do know is that this salon was not going to get my money. I told my girls to get up and go. Our money is just as important as the next. You have choices and what this salon should understand is this was horrible customer service and word of mouth can destroy your business. read more
