Piney Creek Nail

A friend and I went to Piney Creek Nail Salon for a manicure this past Sunday. I was expecting a relaxing experience, however, it felt very rushed and I am not happy with the end result. I was barely able to choose a polish color before I was asked to have a seat at the manicure station. The manicurist did not turn the lamp on over the table, so I’m not sure how she saw what she was doing. The layers of polish were put on so thick that it took HOURS to dry and were pretty smudged by the time I got home. I put my own clear coat on to try to smooth it out. That worked on most of them, but not all. Now, it’s Tuesday… only a day and a half after I had the manicure and the polish has already started to chip off. Although, the prices are inexpensive, I was expecting a more relaxing experience and would have even been willing to pay a bit more for that. Mostly, though, I expected a manicure that would not ruined by day two.

I have been getting my nails done here from the time they opened. I am usually pretty happy with the service but lately I have not been happy with the service. The last time i went in I was shuffled in and while everyone else was offered water, my daughter and I were not as much as acknowledged when we requested water. I had to tell the guy doing my nails several times that they were crooked and it was only fixed when I got a little loud about it. the nails were too long and my request to shorten them was ignored and I was tired of asking so I just let them go. Finally the paint job was so poor that a 5 year old could have done a better job. I went back about 2 weeks later to have a rebase and express how unhappy i was last time only to find that although they have a sign stating they are open 7 days a week they were closed all day Monday??? If you are closed on specific days then post that! I drove down the street and found a great one by TGIF who did a spectacular job! I will not be back.

Great place to get a pedicure! My feet always look and feel fantastic when I leave here. It’s always pretty busy so book ahead if you can. Staff is very friendly and the salon is extremely clean. Hot towels are very soothing and they sometimes offer bottled water.

Awesome nail salon! Clean, professional, and skilled salon! I have never had a shellac manicure that stays on for the two week time period but Caroline took the time to do it correctly and I am so happy.
Do yourself a favor and try this salon you will be pleased.

Clean. Very clean. Nice. Bottled water and hot towels. Sterilized tools. Opi and Essie colors.

I have been having my nails done by Caroline for many years and have always been very happy. When she opened piney creek nails there was no doubt that I would be making the long drive because no one can do as good a job on my nails as she can. My nails are very durable and look great! I read another review on this site and was shocked! I have spent a lot of time in this salon and have never seen anyone dissatisfied with their results or the customer service. You are treated like family and well cared for.

Coming fall will be 2 years I have been going to this salon. Love, love everyone there~~ they do a wonderful job every time. Would recommend everyone to go!

I absolutely love this salon! The staff remembered my name after the first time I visited. And they don’t rush the massages. They’re the best!

I love this place! I have been a regular since they opened this fall. Never once had anything but wonderful experiences! Great people I love walking in the door!

I will NEVER return to this salon! The positive comments that I can make are that the nails applied were durable and nice & the cost was reasonable with the 20% special they were running. However, the following occurred which determined my opinion: 1. Although I was only one of two clients in the salon, I was rushed to the pedicure chair & was not able to make a polish selection. 2. They CHARGED me as an add-​on fee for callous remover. Huh? I have never been charged for this by any other salon! 3. When I got up from the chair to select my polish, I noticed a big blood stain on the towel where my heel had been resting. When I returned to the chair, the towel had been refolded with the blood stain hidden. I asked my pedicurist to please apply something to stop my bleeding and she acted surprised that I had been cut. Hmmm! It was deep enough that it took 6 weeks before it was healed. 4. When I was ready to get my nails done, I was disappointed that they do not carry the patterned tips which I sometimes like to use. So, I elected to have pink & whites with a design. 5. Michael, the owner/​manager approached me during my nail session & asked how I liked it. I told him that I was surprised at being charged for the callous remover. He then proceeded to stand directly over me and argued that he compares other nail salons in the area and Piney Creek is the cleanest shop. That’s why they charge for it. WHAT? He also stated that someone who does not have callouses will not have to pay for remover. Hey, isn’t that one of the reasons for getting a pedicure? Michael continued to hound me until I agreed with him. I just agreed so he would leave me alone! It was SO BAD that I stopped at plain pink & whites with no design so I could get out of there! Not the relaxing afternoon I had hoped for!

Cathy and Caroline are awesome. Great customer service and great job with my mani and pedi. Been in a few times now and am happy to see them on Unilocal so I could praise publicly. Reasonable prices, they remember your name, and spa is very clean. Highly recommend. Lots of services available.
The whole staff is great. Several of my friends who had gone to different salons now come here as well.
