    Fleek! Nails! Shape! Pose!
    Ayana A.

    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!

    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

    Ombré powder
    Terri S.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    This was my second time coming to sophia's. Once again the customer service was incredible! Sophia is so nice and took her time while doing my nails, she did an amazing job! Thank you so much!

    Lyn is amazing. Great attention to detail &very friendly! Go see her…read more Recommend !!!!!!!

    Not the high quality pics they post…read more Coming back after my honeymoon to write my review : this place was so frustrating. The woman/owner at the front who answers the calls was clearly exceptionally talented. I do actually think HER work is the one broadcasted on social media. My maid of honor reached out via instagram with a photo of what I wanted for my wedding nails and when I got to the salon, I was excited to get started as it was the literal day before my wedding. (We DIY'd the WHOLE thing and I needed to make sure I didn't break any nails in the days before) I can't remember the name of my nail tech, but IMMEDIATELY I realized we were in a sticky situation. I tried to trust the process, showed her photos, told her I wanted a squoval French with the gold line to highlight the manicure. After I watched her MULTIPLE TIMES glue the tips on crooked, and I'm not talking like picky girl crooked, I mean DISFIGURED crooked - Once we got to the gold tip portion, I was told by the woman/owner up front "she can't work with metallics and do lines like that can you pick a different design?" In my head, I'm like, "did you not schedule this?" "Would you let me leave with my hands looking like this?" "Why don't you do it?" But she had another client and was doing anything absolutely gorgeous job on her nails while simultaneously dealing with a tough situation on the phone. I was so totally thrown off guard by this, already by the shape of my nails which definitely were very DUCK looking and the fact that we communicated with their instagram which is riddled with insane talent that I didn't know what to do. The woman up front/owner was very clearly and personally going through something on the phone that I really felt bad about and I just didn't want to ruin anyone's day so I just sucked it up and left with the absolute worst manicure of my life after so many times explaining that these were my wedding nails. My poor maid of honor got similar treatment where she got dip nails and her male manicurist put them back in white dip at the end so her nails literally looked like she played in glue. Im so frustrated. I understand people have hard days, but no one asked me any questions or seemed to care that I was getting married and chose their salon to do my nails. We had a huge wedding of 165 people and I had to show my ring to all of them - my nails will be plastered in photos for everyone to see. I tried to file them down on the sides, went to a cvs to try to fix them myself after our rehearsal dinner as I had 0 time to do anything since we were on a pretty big time crunch and my index nail on my left hand was literally pointing right. The salon itself is pretty, it seemed clean, but as far as marketing goes, I can't believe this happened to me. I paid 70 dollars and I always try to tip well, because I do want to believe the tech tried her best and that it wasn't necessarily her fault that the appointment we made was for something she couldn't do, so I tipped $20. Disappointed, sad and honestly feeling a bit robbed by them still. One week after as well, there was an odd gap of clear space between the French and the actual pinkish color that literally turned yellow on our honeymoon. Mortified to show my hands there. Now, even after I correctly took off the nails with acetone, I am left with an awful RING OF FIRE on my nail beds. this has never happened to me before and from what I hear, it means the tech was careless. The gift that keeps on giving! So now, after my wedding and getting my new and beautiful ring, I can't even get my nails done to show it off. I have to wait until these grow out. I will update the review with more pictures as they come in but here they are currently less than 1 month post appointment

    Overall, I would recommend this salon for any hand services, but not pedicures…read more As other reviews have stated, there are a few issues. The first being that I have never been seen right at my appointment time. I always make an appointment yet still have to wait a minimum of 10 minutes- sometimes I can see that my tech is not even close to being done so will leave for the store, come back, and still wait a few minutes. They have your number on file when you book an appointment, so its pretty frustrating that they don't simply call to give you a heads-up to show up 10-20 minutes later. It would be courteous and would waste much less of my time. I cannot recommend pedicures. I had to stop getting them done here after 3 in a row where my nails were filed down too hard and left me with nerve pain for days afterwards. Will not let them touch my feet again as unfortunately the staff has clearly not been properly educated in this aspect. Another small issue is that they do not have intake fans at the stations, so if you have any kind of filing or drilling done the powder will be inhaled by you. It is not pleasant, I don't mind it getting on my clothes honestly but breathing it in is awful. Regardless, the service is simply the best I have found in the area after much trial and error for the liquid gel nails so I deal with it.

    I made an appointment with Ly for my regular gel manicure and pedicure for 3pm. I waited about 10…read moreminutes before the owner stated someone else will do your pedicure which is no problem. Ly was finishing up a customer. My pedicure lasted about 45 minutes and Ly was working on another customer and now its 4:25 so I decided to leave and they just said sorry. I miss Ruby because she wouldn't had me waiting. I am going back because I need to use my points but after that I am done. I wouldn't recommend this place.
