Nail Talk and Tan

The renovation is done and it looks wonderful. Everyone was friendly and fairly professional. It all appeared clean however I prefer my tools come out of the sterile packs. Reasonable prices and 10% grand re-​opening discount right now.

My go to manicure/​pedicure place. The massage chairs are better than most. The technicians take their time and pay attention to the details. It can get a little crowed during busy hours. Great eye brow wax place as well.

I love this place!!! Every time I come here I get the same great customer experience. Jessica does my nails and Lee does my feet. I let Lee do my feet because she gets down and dirty. After she finishes my feet, they feel amazing and they look like new feet. She’s also good and massaging, she takes her time and is very gentle.
Jessica has great conversation. She’s very personable and I love that about her. As far as the way she does nails, she’s pretty good.
They offer many Mani, pedi and wax packages. Nail talk also has refreshments, including free wine! Can’t forget about the 4towers of different colors and brands of polish.
I love this nail spa and I will be returning.

Worst place ever. My friends and I went in to get pedicures and the people didn’t even acknowledge us. We looked at polishes for about 15−20min and decided we should go somewhere else. As we were walking out, someone tried to stop us but the damage was done. So rude. They weren’t even busy.

A couple bad apples and poor management make this nail salon a poor choice. Leigh is incredible for pedicures, very friendly and always makes my toes perfect. However, when asking for a manicure the girls always seem to be annoyed, walking over to me like its the last thing they want to do and taking 5 minutes on the phone. Klaudia did design on my nails and since the polish was too thick they messed up after 1.5hrs of drying. I asked her if I could come back to redo 2hrs before they closed and she said she’s too busy. Mind you, they had zero waiting customers and 6 avail workers. I had given her 30% tip. So unprofessional I would not go back unless mgmt redeems themselves and trains workers in customer service.

Pretty satisfied with my experience here.
I’m an early riser, so the fact that they open at 9am on Saturdays was initially what drew me in. I did not have an appointment, but had no problem walking in and being seen immediately that early in the day. The salon is reasonably clean and the polish selection includes both OPI and Essie favorites. They even have a somewhat current selection of magazines to read. For $ 25, my «regular» pedicure was solid — including a really thorough cuticle trim, callus removal, and sugar scrub.
Parking is available in the attached deck, and you can add your tip on your credit card which is a little thing I wish more salons offered.

I am really on a quest to find a local salon that does pretty nail designs, I came across The Haute Spot Nail Boutique ‘s reviews and pictures, but they were just too far a drive for a friday, so i saved 2 or 3 of my favorite design pics and took them to this salon to see if they could produce something similar. And I was disappointed, first of all i wanted exactly what was in the pic with the exception of wanting thinner lines on the design on the ring finger– but take a look at the picture of what i wanted vs what was actually done. The picture with only one designed nails are what was produced today at this salon, overall I spent $ 45 for a mani pedi and I’m not going back
I posted photos titled what I wanted and what I actually got and what happened (or something like that) its a series with the words messed up 1 and messed up two in them take a look for yourself.

There are a few times in life that you get the feeling that the universe is trying to tell you that you don’t need to patronize a certain spot. Well after a 2^nd unsuccessful visit to this spot I know for sure.
I work & play in Midtown. Our office recently moved from the Perimeter area (sandy springs) & I’ve grown used to being able to shop & run personal errands near my office because of the friendly businesses. This includes a quick mani/​pedi or just a mani. Imagine my surprise when I walked into the same nail salon (in walking distance from our office) twice & being basically ignored. I watched ppl get immediately serviced & I was told 5 to 10 minutes & didn’t see any technicians working to get finished… I wasn’t told to pick a color but the other 5 ladies that walked in after me were told to do so… so I already knew this wasn’t happening for me.
So I guess my body language told a story of my slow anger bubbling & a lady came to me & said «it’ll just be a few more minutes». (yes this is after the first 5 to 10 minutes). So my reaction? I sat a few more minutes & after watching the same nervous technicians look my way for those minutes I vacated the premises. I consider this to be a sign. There will not be a 3^rd time… I get it universe… thanks.

Don’t have anything bad to say about this place. Have given it a couple tries and had great results. Did shellac for the first time here and they looked very nice, lasting almost 3 weeks before they started wearing. The regular manicure even looks like gel here.

Amazing mani & pedi. Never had such a good experience. Will never go anywhere else and I’ve been to many. The best!

Foot rub should be like a massage, not just applying lotion on my legs. They charge you for getting your gel removed. Staff not attentive.

I wish I could give this place 3.5 stars, but given that I can’t, and it’s one of the only nail salons in the Midtown area, I bumped it up to 4. It isn’t a fancy place, but it is far from dingy. I would consider it above average for an Atlanta nail salon in terns of appearance, which includes looking fairly clean. The people who work here are also nice, and the prices are reasonable. The parking is free, there are a good number of color choices, and they have gels. Recommended for a basic mani and pedi.

I stick with Claudia for a thorough mani. She is really good with cuticles and pay for the extra massage if you like a firm hand!

So annoyed! Why I paid as much as I did for what I got? No clue! But you can be sure I will not be making the error a second time.
So Ive been seeing friends and co workers with great shiny natural looking nails. All of them commenting that they are the result of a gel manicure. I’m not a fan of fake nails, they look tacky to me; so I was surprised when all these ladies told me the same thing. Okay! I’m sold! I’m going to get me some GELS!
After passing this place countless times to get to Publix I stopped by to get my nails done. Funny enough, an older woman walked in the same time as I did who had a gel manicure. So when asked what I wanted as a service I said I wanted a gel manicure, and with permission the lovely woman beside me, showed them her nails. The attendant then asks would I like powder or liquid gels. I’m confident I had a stupid look on my face, «whatever looks natural, like hers.» *pointing the woman’s nails* I asked what the difference in the two was and the attendant replied they were basically the same thing. The attendant then added the powered gels were very nice and natural looking.
Okay, so I was given powder gel nails. I was perplexed during the process because it looked EXACTLY like the process for acrylic nails. Yet, I was told by friends and coworkers it was not acyclic. Long story short… powder and liquid gels are not the same thing!
Powder gels nails are JUST like acrylic nails. Powder gel nails do not look natural like liquid gels nails. Later, I was told that nails salons like to do this so you pay the gel price but get the lower quality product in half the time it takes to do the liquid application. Not knowing there was a difference, I was charged and ended up paying the price for liquid gels. *bad form in my opinion* Hated my nails so much I ripped those suckers off as soon as I was able… nails are still recovering. =(

Identifying this nail salon is confusing to me. It’s in Plaza Midtown (which is excellent for free parking) but it’s not that Polished place that is also in Plaza Midtown. Additionally, there is another Nail Talk and Tan location just a few blocks away (on 5^th Street) but this one is not the same location. It’s weird. Anyway, once you find this one, it’s pretty nice. I came here with some other ladies on Sunday afternoon for nails, mimosas and brunch (at Marlow’s) and it was quite a lovely experience. They quickly got us all in for manis and pedis and were very nice and efficient. My nails look good. It’s a really nice place on the inside with lots of comfy chairs. They also quickly worked me in for an eyebrow wax, which was nice. When it was all done, we just trekked across the parking garage to Marlow’s for their excellent Sunday brunch. I also like that this nail salon is right across the street from Mac’s liquor, just in case I need something STAT. I recommend. It’s also right by Metro PC which is where I bring my laptop when it crashes. It would be nice to get my nails done after my computer crashes.
