I had such a great experience here! The nail tech was very patient and paid attention to every little detail. She helped me get the exact shape and length I wanted, and my cuticles were done so gently. The salon was clean, everyone was friendly, and I never felt pressured to buy anything extra. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I went in last Tuesday for a full set with gel x. Starts at 65, and I requested extra long which I was quoted an extra $10. Perfectly fine. Except they actually don't have the extra long in stock, she was going to just apply the Long tip halfway down my nail bed. I declined and asked for the extra long tips I'm paying for. She then took out "xtra xtra long" and said $85 for these. So completely skipped over extra long and still charged me. Whatever , I agreed because benefit of the doubt. Once the foundation is laid, they ask me what designs I want. I showed them several pictures as inspiration and described what I would like, open to all suggestions and directions. They quoted me an additional $75 on top of the $85, and although I was completely shocked , I figured I was just out of my budget and needed to pick another design. Everything I suggested was $60+ on top of $85. Finally I asked ok what about French tip?! They said $25 extra. Okay, very expensive but I hope they look good. Keep in mind the entire time, only 1 person in the whole salon spoke English and whenever I would ask a question, my tech would yell for the English speaker very annoyed as if I was a problematic customer. I also got a full set gel x pedicure, and needed one nail repaired as it's growing back from falling off. When my tech was removing dead skin from the sides of my nail bed, she snipped my skin and cut me. In total for full set xtra long French tip and French tip gel x pedicure, I paid $190 not including tip. 3 days later, my repaired toe nail came off. Okay, maybe it was just too small of a nail. BUT THEN ON THE 4TH DAY, MY FINGERNAIL BREAKS IN HALF. $190 for basic nails, that break not even a full business week later. So disappointed, will never come back. read more

I've frequented this nail salon for quite some time now. They always do a great job! I usually get the gel x manicure, but today I decided to get the gel mani/pedi. They have a wide selection of nail polish colors and finishes. It always takes me a bit of time to decide because I want all the colors lol! When I finally decided, the service was timely and efficient. My appt was at 4:30 pm and I was finished by 5:30 pm. Both technicians were meticulous and attentive. They also checked on me periodically to make sure I was happy with their service along the way. I was really happy with the way my nails looked. This salon is clean and organized. They have two televisions, but the volumes are on low. You can watch with the closed captions. They also have music playing in the background at a comfortable level. There is parking directly in front, which is shared with the other businesses in the plaza. Thank you, Soul Cool Nail Lounge, for always taking good care of your customers. I will continue coming back here. read more

My nails always look great and they have great service! Honestly, this is the best nail salon I've been to! I've been coming here for a couple of years! When I moved to this salon, I moved away from acrylic nails. I have very naturally brittle nails and acrylic made it worse! My nails are healthier than they have ever been. The whole team is incredibly professional and ask along the way if you are happy with each step! I bring in nail designs sometimes and they always make the design look better than the inspo pic! I don't take pictures of my nails very often, but I included a picture from a set I got done in April for ASD awareness month! There were things I like about the pic and things I didn't! In the end, I loved my nails! I get some many compliments about my nails! Highly recommend this nail salon! read more

Whenever I want my nails done, they are always my go-to place. I usually keep my designs simple, so nothing too complicated, but they always take their time and pay attention to the details. They are incredibly gentle, which is something I don't see at many nail salons. The atmosphere is calm, relaxing, and welcoming. They also recently remodeled, so everything is clean, fresh, and well-maintained. I always leave happy with both the service and the results. read more

I needed to get my nails done while in California and found this place on Yelp. I came in Friday morning and they couldn't accommodate a manicure, so I got a pedicure and came back Sunday for a manicure. I got the Gel-X with extensions and was very happy with the results. I got the cat eye effect which was an additional $15. The total for my manicure was $90 and the basic pedicure was $29. It's a little bit more than what I pay for back in Florida but the difference is minimal. I really appreciated that they get started on you right away and are very attentive and perceptive to what you want. If you want to pay with a card, they charge a 3% fee, otherwise you can just Zelle them your payment. I'll keep this place in mind whenever I'm in town! read more

Definitely recommend coming here! Place is a little small so either try to go at non peak times or call to make an appointment. We came as walk ins and they took us right away and did a great job. Lots of colors to choose from and very friendly employees! Absolutely will be coming back! read more

I came to So Cool Nails specifically looking for help transitioning away from years of acrylics. Like many people who have had acrylics long-term, my nail beds are thin, and I made that very clear upfront. I asked if they specialized in natural nail care and builder gel because my priority is maintaining the integrity and health of my nails. They assured me they could. That was not my experience. After removing my acrylics, the technician repeatedly attempted to wipe and handle my bare, exposed nails using a dirty towel that had clearly been used on previous clients. I watched her continue to use the same towel without replacing or sanitizing it. At that point, I was already uncomfortable--but looking around the salon, it became clear this wasn't an isolated issue. The workstations, tools, and overall environment lacked basic cleanliness standards. Let me be clear: once acrylics are removed, your natural nails are extremely vulnerable. Using unsanitary materials in that moment is not just careless--it is a serious health risk. I stopped the service immediately because I did not feel safe. I was still charged $20 for a service that was incomplete and, frankly, unacceptable. What's even more concerning is their response afterward. Instead of addressing the cleanliness issue, they deflected--blaming my nails for being thin (which I already acknowledged) and completely ignoring the fact that their sanitation practices were the problem. At no point did they deny or correct the use of dirty tools/towels. That says everything. I have since filed a complaint with the state board because this goes beyond a bad manicure--this is about basic hygiene and client safety. Beautiful nails mean nothing if the environment is unsanitary. No one should have to risk infection for a service they're paying for. Avoid this place if you value your health. read more

AMAZING nail techs! They all have their own style and are so talented. I found them on yelp because other nail spots weren't offering the type of 3D nail art. I'm SOUL glad I found this spot, and the girls are so sweet and hilarious. They took their time which is appreciated and I felt very comfortable. See you gals soon! read more

I randomly thought of getting my nails done on a Sunday afternoon, so I came across them as I searched for an open place nearby. I was immediately greeted and assisted. I got a gel pedicure and Gel-X with design (pictured). I haven't come to a salon in YEARS and I have nothing but good things to say about them! I am sooo thankful for them because it has been the ONLY salon they are really good at doing designs. They have a good variety of nail colors. They made me feel comfortable and I think their prices are fair. I highly recommend them! read more

The quality of their work is amazing , it was my first time visiting I got a full set and a pedicure I was definitely happy with them.I did get a nail design on 4 of my nails. The only reason I am holding back on 5 stars is that they weren't very transparent with the pricing my total for a full set with 4 designs, a pedicure with 2 gel x extensions (on big toes) was $180 with tip($5ea). I wish they would've told me it would be $35 to add a design and an addition fee for French tip. It almost came off kinda sneaky . read more

Made an appointment through phone and they were really responsive. When I got there 5 min before my appointment, they took me in immediately. Inside is quite cozy and I would say this is a Chinese style nail salon. The type where the price can be from reasonable to pricey depending what you're getting but their quality is great. I usually go to Chinese style nail salons because I like how they shape my nails. The nail artist took her time to make sure my nails looked perfect and well uniformed along with shaping the nails to make my hands skinny. She constantly checked in on me to make sure I was okay with the shape, length, and comfortability. I paid $55 for gel overlay with single color. I would definitely come back again read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but unfortunately, this is my first one. I've been a customer here for four months, and the service was okay until my appointment today. I had Kimi as my nail tech, and things went downhill quickly. My 12-year-old daughter and I were looking at designs when Kim snapped at us, saying that I should have specified if I wanted a design in advance. I've been here several times before, and no one ever mentioned that I needed to add a design to my appointment. Things escalated quickly when Kimi called her manager over in front of my daughter. She started raising her voice, visibly shaking, and yelling in front of us. She was so upset that she switched to speaking in her native language, and at one point, she became incoherent. I tried to calm her down, but the situation only made me and my daughter feel extremely uncomfortable. At this point, I told Kimi that if she needed to have a conversation with her manager, she should do it privately. Unfortunately, she didn't take that advice and continued working on my nails with a terrible attitude, which made the whole experience feel unprofessional and stressful. I believe any internal issues should be handled privately, not in front of customers--especially not in front of a child. We all have bad days, but it's unacceptable for a customer to be put in the position of trying to calm down a staff member. It seems like there's a problem with communication around their booking system, and it's clear there are internal issues that need to be addressed. This is something customers shouldn't have to deal with, especially when it involves yelling and tension in front of kids. Lastly, Kim refused to provide her license number when I asked for it, which is required by law for professionals in this industry. The owner needs to properly train Kimi to maintain a professional environment. This experience was disappointing, and I won't be returning. The nail salon should be a place to relax and be pampered, not a source of stress. read more

got amazing gelx extensions at this place and whoever did my nails today did a 10/10 job i was very satisfied with that. however, i also got a gel pedicure from someone else and i have to say it is so so terrible. at the end of the pedicure i noticed she saw something wrong with polish on my toe and continuously rubbed it and i assumed it was just a mark she was trying to get rid of but after leaving the salon i saw that it was a huge bubble in the nail. after i came home i made a small hole to release the bubble and uncured wet gel came out and i had to scrap the entirety of it to clean up the area. now i have to go get it redone somewhere else. hard to write this review as i was very satisfied with one service but not the other. i wish i noticed it earlier as i'm sure they would have fixed it but unhappy w the nail tech that saw the problem and chose to ignore it for whatever reason. 5/10 read more

I tried this salon during summer since it was close to home & new! I always get dip but this salon only does half dip with gel overlay? Not my favorite because my nails chipped and were not as sturdy as a full dip set. For dip nails and a regular pedi I paid 77 plus a (complimentary) cuticle oil pen. I didn't see any prices listed in the salon so I have no idea how much each service was. They gave a raffle ticket for their instagram at the end of the service too. Booking is easy as they respond quickly to their yelp messages and try to answer their phone promptly. read more
