After sitting and waiting, with an appointment, at a nail salon I frequented, I got frustrated. There is nothing like making an appointment and people keep walking in and are serviced ahead of you...with no appointment! I called and scheduled an appointment with Sugarcoat while I was still at the other nail salon. They were able to get me in within 30 min. Parking on a Saturday is not the greatest, but that was the least of my worries. I walked in and found this spot to look clean, welcoming, and relaxing. Rhonda provided services for me today. Great mani/pedi! The Fiji pedicure is awesome and smells great! Next time, I'll bring my wine and bestie! Thanks Sugarcoat! read more

Sugarcoat - Incognito in Sausalito by OPI - Nail Salons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Made an appointment. Appointment was confirmed by text which included their 12 hr cancellation policy. Arrived on time. No one seemed to notice I was there until I enquired about my appointment, was seated and put in foot soak. The sink wouldn't hold water and drained continuously. I refilled it 4 times. The seat cover has been cracked and pealed for a long time. After 30 minutes no one had begun my mani/pedi. If I have to be on time, so do they. I've been going in there since it opened but I'm done. Shabby service and decor. read more

Kelly is AMAZING. My nails are perfect. She is so so so nice & keeps everything running smoothly. I could tell she really took pride in the salon! She is one of the many reasons I will return to Sugarcoat again! read more

Sugarcoat - Kelly is the absolute best! I got sns and she was amazing. So friendly and professional. I found my new nail spot!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Today was my first time visiting Sugarcoat, and it won't be the last! I love the decor inside, and I was extremely happy with my nails! I had the Sport Pedicure by Anne and SNS manicure by Suzanne. They were both so nice and paid special attention to making sure they did an excellent job. So very happy with the whole experience! read more

Sugarcoat - SNS - Samoan Sands - Nail Salons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I got a mani and pedi while I was in town for work. I noticed this salon's positive reviews - it did not disappoint! The staff was very friendly and the decor was very unique. It was a much more personable experience than you typically find at a nail salon. I would definitely go back! read more

Sugarcoat - Very well done. Gel manicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I have been a client of Ali's at Sugarcoat for 5 years. Living in midtown I would go to the Virginia Highlands location, but switched to Vinings location 2 years ago when I moved to Smyrna. Vinings location is friendly, and accommodating. Ali is great! I was lucky that she worked in both locations. Working with the hard wax for the first time she made an uncomfortable situation comfortable. I recommend Ali if it's your first wax. read more

Great experience. Kelly did an awesome job. Very clean, protective plastic barriers at each manicurist table & everyone wearing masks. Very few people - social distancing compliant. Recommend! read more

I recently moved to the Smyrna/Vinings area and wanted a clean and organized place to do my nails. I was ready to spend more money than I normally do for my SNS manicure and gel pedicure. My pedicure was well done. My manicure is why I will never be back here again. The person went through the process of my SNS manicure fine, but then added a top coat for a gel manicure and had me put my manicure under a LED light. I was confused. I got a nude color and eat lots of food with turmeric. Needless to say, I had two hands with two different colors. I get SNS for several reasons, one being that I eat with my hands and obviously don't want the color to turn. And oh, both of my pointer fingers chipped the next day. Guessing bc I had a gel finish to what was suppose to be a SNS manicure. As my manicurist was finishing me up, her next appointment showed up so I guess she felt rushed to get me out the door. $93 dollars wasted. Everyone was very nice, but my chipped and discolored nails is not the move. read more

This place is super cute! Today was my first time going, and I thought it was adorable. My nail tech was sweet-enjoyed our conversations during my gel mani and pedi I had trouble finding the place tho. Not only are they in the corner of the plaza, there's a tree branch growing right in front of the sign outside lol Compared to other nail shops, it's a bit on the expensive side. I paid $70 total not including a tip. My feet were soaking for a good 20 mins before anymore came over to start my pedi. The water by then was already cold. I'd definitely return, but just for a mani read more

I've been here several times, and have gotten a gel manicure or pedicure each time. The staff is friendly and attentive, and there's a wider variety of colors available. The decor is girly and fun, and the salon is very clean. Parking is normally decent, but is harder to find near salon on weekends, so allow a little extra time to find a spot. Taking off a star, as the prices are a little higher than other similar establishments in the area. Overall, highly recommended nail salon if you're in Vinings area. read more

I was really hopeful when I came to this nail salon. I saw really good reviews and the pictures were nice too. However, the young lady who did my nails did not speak good English so she could not understand what I was trying to explain to her about my nails and overall I don't like my nails. They are not smooth and I'm not a fan of the overall look of my nails. I tried to explain what I wanted and how they could fix my nails. But they assured me they were nice. However, what I think is nice versus what they think is nice is two different things. Unfortunately I will not come back to this salon read more

Sugarcoat - Nail Salons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Very disappointed. My gel nail started to come off within 2 days. I've done my nails on Sat afternoon and two of my nails are already peeled. What a waste of money! read more

I have visited this salon about 3 times. The only reason why i gave it many chances was because they do a good job better then the last salon I used to go to. Anyway don't bother with appts here because every time they have you waiting at least 20 mins. I have never once came in and went straight to the chair. For someone who is busy and has things to do and expect to be seen at their appts don't waste your time here. The staff is not really friendly. I always get a more pricer pedicure then the basic but the last time I got the most basic one because they had me waiting 30 mins and after I got in the chair I was ready to go. I just didn't think they deserve my money. Let's just say today was the last time I am going there. Back to looking for a nail salon read more

Guys I'm trying to make contact with the shop in Vinings and no one is picking up, I've literally been calling all day and it goes to voicemail after 3 rings and then says the mailbox is full and hangs up. read more

Best service every time. Love the variety of colors, love how spacious and clean the area is. They are quick, friendly and always professional. read more

Would love to give 10 stars!! I make an appointment every two weeks for my Mom & I to get a gel mani and pedi. We always enjoy our time at Sugarcoat Vinings and have been customers for 3+ years! Cat, the front desk girl with the nose ring, is always super sweet and goes above & beyond! Definitely DO NOT walk-in without calling first to see if they have availability. They mainly work by appointment, because most of their clients make reoccurring appointments, but do accept walk-ins IF they are slow and have available nail techs. (P.s. I highly recommend Noi, Christy or Ann at the Vinings location for your nails. I'm sure everyone is good but those are the three nail techs I am familiar with.) read more

This is my go to nail salon for many reasons! Always very clean, friendly, and professional. I always make an appt (which I recommend doing because they're usually always busy) and I've never had to wait for a chair. It's a bit pricey than other nail salons nearby, but I prefer going somewhere like Sugarcoat because I know it's clean inside and they always do a great job! read more

The manicure chairs are so flimsy! I don't feel comfortable sitting in them and I'm 150 lbs. I have seen some larger ladies in them and I'm surprised the chairs didn't break. They are cute but wobbly. Besides the chairs I like this place because they know what they are doing and I don't mind paying more because I can tell that the employees are making a living wage and not being taken advantage of, I can't say that about the discount nail places. read more

I was very disappointed here. The staff was friendly to a point but they were very young and immature. I stumbled in during a rainstorm where they had a cancellation and could take me. I got the signature mani pedi with gel and the paraffin treatment. Let's start with the good. It's hip, it's modern, and their sugar scrub and paraffin did a great job on me. As for the bad, well it's only Tuesday and three nails have peeled off. Considering I just went Thursday it's a disappointment. The massage is ok....not $30 extra for a pedicure ok. Furthermore it took a ton of time! The first do your feet and then move on to your hands. They don't let them soak or prep them prior. I wasted 2 hours there. Maybe more.... For the service and prices I truly expected to be wowed. I can see why some may like it, but for me, polished in Brookhaven is the absolute best! I will never stray again. read more

I've visited quite a few nail salons inside the perimeter and Sugarcoat takes the cake! I've yet to experience this level of customer service when getting a manicure. Ladies - always make an appointment to come here. My first trip ended in a bust on a busy Sunday afternoon. Not their fault at all. I probably should have known better. Today I got a gel manicure. I had no idea what color I wanted. For the first time ever my technician could tell I was struggling to decide and she came over and not only listened to what I was looking for, but tried a few different colors on me right then and there to see what I liked. I ended up with a pastel pink that I couldn't be happier with. Due to the lightness of the polish she even put on a third coat to make sure everything was thick and even. Her attention to detail was amazing - she didn't try to hide minor "mistakes" that always happen when getting a manicure. She took the time to actually correct things and made sure I was happy with the final result. Yes they might be a little more expensive, but with this type of customer service and the cuteness of the salon ... I promise it's worth it and I'll be back. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! Liam the artist I had did a terrible job! The owner Kaylee was no help and did not remove my nails and issue a refund. I'm sooo pissed. I asked for the Pinterest photo below and got this bs. They wouldn't even give me a partial refund. My nails are thick af. read more

The nail salon was beautiful and great atmosphere however the staff was very stand-off, looking at me, my sister & my fiancé like we didn't belong there. It was our first time to that salon (we were excited to try something near us and nice). so we weren't sure how the appointments worked and they seemed annoyed when we asked simple questions like where to choose our color or asked if we should take a seat, since they just stood there and didn't acknowledge any of us. Also, as we were getting our "45 minute" pedicure (which was only 15-20 minutes) they were talking about my fiancé's feet right in front of everyone and honestly being very humiliating and rude towards people whom are paying for a service. It made us all very uncomfortable, not to mention they were rushing to give us our pedicure as if we were being an inconvenience to them. Truthfully a big waste of money, not only because of the service itself but the customer service which I found incredibly unprofessional and rude. read more

Really quick - I was disappointed in this place. I expected at least one of the nail techs to be knowledgeable in nail art and adding jewels, which is very trendy right now. But the outcome was something I could have done myself. I also felt the receptionist was short with me and a few other clients. She needs to relax and be more professional. Lastly, my pedicure was fine except I did not receive a nice scrub which is what everyone really wants from a pedi - smooth feet! This place is just very mediocre for the prices. read more

This was my first visit to Sugarcoat. I went in today for a Gel Essential Manicure. Kelly was great, I appreciate the fact that a 10:00 AM appointment meant 10:00; she also made a great color recommendation and I'm very pleased. The location and ambience are great and pricing was very reasonable. I'm definitely going back in two weeks! read more

I kept putting off going to Sugarcoat because setting appointments to get my nails done usually doesn't work for me, but I finally went in for a pedicure and gel manicure and didn't have any regrets! Although, you should probably make an appointment, I have a feeling you could walk-in depending on the time of the day. I did the most basic pedicure which was better than some of the "deluxe" pedicures you get at other nail salons. The same girl did my gel manicure and was very professional and caring. We chatted the whole time and after doing 2 coats on my nails she was adamant to do another coat so the color would look better. I've had a lot of technicians where I've had to push for that. She took her time and made me feel like I was her only customer she had all day! I was also worried about pricing before going in, but their prices are comparable to other salons, especially with the type of service you get here. I think I paid about $60 for the pedicure and gel mani. read more

Meh. Not worth the prices. No massaging chairs are fine, (I do like the idea of no jets holding in bacteria)..but they could TRY do a half way decent massage. I am a little surprised they don't line the tubs. I didn't see anyone do an exceptional scrub job between clients. The massage was terrible, like have a limp hand slapped gently on my foot. The pedicure itself was mediocre. My toenails were cut so strangely the corners are higher than the middle. I paid extra for the callus scrub, and I didnt really notice a difference. I was definitely expecting that the time and money spent here would be well worth it, but it wasn't. They are trying hard to be high end, but it's not coming through with the level of service. read more

I went to sugarcoat for the first time today. I called at about 4:30 and asked if they had an appointment at 6:15 or 6:30. The woman on the phone politely told me that 6:15 was probably the latest they could do, as long as I was ok with two people working on my nails/toes at once - which I was thrilled about, I didn't have a ton of time. Linda did my nails and she was great. She did a great job on my gel mani, they look better than they have in a long time! She was very professional, but also very talkative and easy to chat with. It was a little pricey, but I knew that going in. For the Express pedicure and a gel manicure, I paid $55. The salon was clean and quiet, and they had a large selection of polish. I will definitely return back in the future! Overall, I highly recommend this salon! read more

I was very underwhelmed by the experience here. I've been to the location in Buckhead when it was new and remember it being the NEW LUX experience with the salon styled differently and the customer service being beyond. When I received a gift card to this salon this year...I remember thinking, "cool this is a step up from my normal nail talk and tan" type spot. I went one afternoon, not thinking I'd need an appointment...can't remember the last time I made an appointment for nails and I get SNS and pedi done every 3-4 weeks...AND they couldn't see me so I had to wait til the following day. Okay...if I didn't have a gift card here I would have gone somewhere else. I'm judging harshly but expected a more posh experience than the average nail salon. When I arrived it wasn't busy...the place was a bit dis-shuffled. There was a bottle of nail polish that had broken near the shelf of colors and no one seemed bothered to clean it up, the walls were scuffed up, the seating area was messy, but they got me set up quickly and I sat at pedicure station. No one offered me water or asked me anything. They just got to work and talked amongst themselves. The pedicure was terrible. I paid for the deluxe pedi...they did the mint mask and usually wrap each leg in a towel...not here, I guess there is a towel shortage. Then the foot scrub to remove dead skin was lack luster and was flakier than ever. The massage wasn't great as she was rushing through and you're sitting on a bench so no massage chair. ANYWAY, the SNS polish change was fine. BUT if you think you're getting extra by choosing this place you're not. Stick with your trusty ole nail place. This place isn't extra in any way. Glad I only paid the difference for this service and won't be going back. read more

Walked in cause I was looking for an salon aesthetic like this salon. Requested a gel mani and regular pedicure. They accepted a gentlemen who walk in as I did, but refused every basic service request I had. Not welcoming. I was hoping to find a salon local to me instead of trekking in midtown area but this was abysmal. read more

Love love love love love love!!!!!!! Absolutely perfect mani w/ gel and cute little design, "trip to Fiji pedicure", and eyebrow wax - PERFECT! FINALLY a place that knows what they are doing, English speaking so you can communicate what you want, the people are incredibly nice and helpful! The salon itself was absolutely beautiful! Cant wait to go back!!! Kim and Susan took care of me, they are off the charts good at what they do and sooooo friendly! Definitely make an appointment! Edit: I will never for the life of me understand people who complain about prices. You aren't being forced into anything! Too pricey for you? Find another place maybe and keep it moving???? Update: Been coming for awhile now. Staff has changed and thus the service has changed dramatically. This is so upsetting as it was hard to find a decent place in the area. Unfortunately, my search is on again. I can't get the same nail service quality I am used to or even waxing. Such a shame. If anyone knows a high quality salon in this area, message away. read more

Sugarcoat - Nail Salons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This is my 3rd visit. Somewhat mixed review, today. I made a rush-appointment today at the latest 5:30pm. It was smooth and nice reservation iver the phone, but actual pedi process was a bit rushed and careless. I don't know if the lady who did it for me was new (she asked me who referred her to me when we meet.), but dissappeared for a moment before beginning. She seemed very rushing to just finish her job. Although I asked to be 'careful' since I have curvy nails and feel sensitive easily, I'm not sure if she understood well enough to treat my pedi, with any care. After very speedy pedicure, (she seems skillful, though), she also dissapeared while I was waiting for drying out and didn't check on me at all. Also I noticed that shape of my toe nails and edges of nails painted uneven as well. I hate to say things that I don't like because I liked this place for good service and nice interior (spacious not smelly) at the first visit. I still enjoy the relaxed pedi place, but I'm now somewhat skeptical..Maybe I'll check another time with a different lady to treat my pedi, and give another chance to this cute place. Very nice cute nail shop. The most I enjoyed about this shop was that I didn't get much chemical smells that I normally had a headache from. I made a quick appointment for pedi on Friday afternoon an hour before I came in by calling the shop. Time was kept pretty well. As soon as I entered the shop, I liked the atmosphere and comfortable open space with clean and cute deco. They displayed OPI and Essie products including new colors. Soaking water and sitting chair were comfortable and clean. I like this clean atmosphere with less crowds in the shop for more comfy pedicure. I had a signature pedi with scrub and massage costed $38. It was pretty nice and relaxing time. My service lady was Joy and I was comfortable to talk to her and her service. She made me feel comfortable as a first time customer to the shop, and helped me choosing the pretty color! I really like this metalic gold on my toes. I'll come back again. read more

Super cute place and such a lovely atmosphere! All of the ladies are fabulous and so sweet. I suck at remembering names, but I do remember that Tina did an awesome job on my gel manicure. It's a little pricey but it's worth it. You're not just getting some cheap nail polish slapped on your fingers, it's a full experience. They use autoclaved/ prepackaged tools and clean the foot bowls thoroughly for each customer. Be sure to get an appointment. If you try to walk in on a Saturday, you're going to be disappointed. It's a fairly popular shop from what I can tell and they're usually busy. read more

They need to get their online booking fixed, drove an effin hour from my house to get my nails done scheduled my whole day around it only to be told that sometimes their online booking doesn't work and doesn't put it on their schedule. That seems like a pretty big issue seeing how I had a confirmed appointment on my email and everything. Only for me to get there and them tell me their booked. Thanks. Won't be returning. read more
