Nails On Neil

I cannot say enough nice things about Hien and everyone at Nails on Neil! I’ve been coming here for 3 years now, and I’m always happy with the results. They do a great job and seem to really take pride in their work. I started going here because it was close to my apartment and has excellent reviews. I’ve since moved and still make the drive over because it’s so worth it!

The best nail salon in Columbus! You can tell that the nail technicians take great pride in their work because they are extremely thorough and never rush just to «get them done» even though they are always super busy! I will never go anywhere else.

Hien was so incredibly hospitable and kind. His work was great. I’m a self-​proclaimed «nail-​snob» having done my nails for over 15 years at different salons consecutively, so I know my stuff. He was sweet, very engaging in conversation and his work was great.
He and his wife own the place and the story of his life coming from struggles and hardship to having a thriving business today is exactly what it means to be apart of the American Dream. It was so inspiring to hear.
Great salon, clean efficient and well organized. I will be back again. Can’t say enough good things.

I’ve been going to this nail salon for the last four years. The salon is very clean, bright and vibrant. Service is always quick and prompt, I’ve never really had to wait. I’ve had both pedicures and manicures with gel polish. Every service I have had has always been performed way above satisfaction. My nails always look perfect. The gel polish is thin (as it should be), with a clean polish line along my cuticles, and stays on without chipping or dulling until removed.
With gel polish, you must find a great salon that not only applies gel polish correctly but more importantly, removes the gel polish correctly without damaging the natural nails. My nails are as in good of shape (healthy and strong) today as they were the first time I went in for a manicure.
I personally have recommended this salon to several friends who have in turn recommend this salon to their friends as well, which speaks volumes as to the quality of this «five star» salon!

I got a full set not even a full two weeks ago and this is how my nails look! I went back two hours after getting them done originally to get the paint job fixed and the nails straightened. I hate complaining which is why I didn’t say anything when I was there, I didn’t want to hurt the girls feelings. Ian fixed them, he was great but they obviously just needed re done completely. Anyways, today I had to pay for another full set at another salon ! Very disappointed.

LOVE IT HERE!!! Always do an amazing job! Highly recommend Hien!!! Best salon in Columbus!

Best nail salon in Columbus. Owners and staff go above and beyond normal steps of service. Highly recommended!

I would totally give them 5 stars if they were able to ever make/​keep appointments as scheduled. They do an awesome job but multiple times I’ve called to make an appointment and they don’t «have it written down» or the person wasn’t there that day after all, they don’t take a name or number to be able to call and let me know and it’s easily an hour wait. It’s hard enough to to get time for such a thing so I need efficiency.

Quick and great service. When you walk in with 8 – 10 Asian ladies, you know it’s going to be a quick in and out and gossip. Lol!

I love this place I go there all the time to get my nails done and people always think they are fake nails!

THE worst experience I’ve ever had at a nail salon. Not only was the service subpar, the manager is rude af. The woman who did my nails knew that they looked terrible because she offered to give me the nail polish to come home and fix it myself. I got acrylics and she filed them wayyy too short and the round edges are going in all different directions. They don’t push your cuticles down, my friend had this issue as well, so it looks like your nails have already grown out. Also, they don’t have matte, they will put something on that they call matte, but it is not matte. I literally never complain or leave reviews but am so upset after being charged $ 75 for crappy service for 0 customer service. I moved here from LA and never spent that much on nails. There are so many other places in Columbus to go to that don’t cost an arm and a leg and do a half decent job. Whatever the manager offered in terms on reconciliation went out the window when he decided to hang up on me. Even the 4 star reviews complain about nails not looking good, so read the reviews, don’t just take the star rating in to account. Also another review mentioned cleanliness, I didn’t notice any licenses in plain view.

I made an appointment for 1pm and didn’t get started until 1:30. Gel Manicure did not last as long as I had hoped.

I have used this nail salon in the past when I was in a pinch for time, and that’s exactly why I went again last night. I could not make an appointment because I wasn’t sure of the time I would arrive. I arrived a little before 6pm and didn’t get my mani/​pedi started until almost 7pm. The nail tech seemed to be rushing and accidentally clipped part of my skin on the side of my toe. It was bleeding for some time and continued to bleed even after polish was applied. I admit, everyone makes mistakes, but while clipping my cuticles for my mani, she cut my thumb cuticle so much it started bleeding!!! I’ll have to admit, at this point I almost left mid appointment, because now I had two extremities bleeding with nothing more than a broken English apology.
I understand these ladies work very hard, but I really question the training and cleanliness of this salon. Both incidents were just wiped w a towel, and the tech even asked that I put my feet/​hands back in the water even though I was bleeding!
I will not be returning. I understand this is not a high end spa, but after this experience, I won’t even pop in for a quick touch up mani/​pedi. I’m too worried that I may leave with injured toe/​finger nails.

I just cannot say enough nice things about this place. My nails always look great and the mani/​pedi holds up. They take walk-​ins, even late on a Saturday afternoon. Love love love.

Went in for an emergency ‘day before Christmas manicure’. Didn’t expect the great (regular, not gel) manicure I got. Quick and efficient, and my nails looked great!
I highly recommend Ann. My manicures used to chip in a matter of days but Ann does them and they last over a week which is unprecedented for my nails.
Prices are reasonable and service is friendly. I’ve been going in every week since Christmas. Two thumbs up!

My FAVORITE nail salon!
The staff is all wonderful and talented. They take care to remember my name and details about me. I’ve NEVER left unhappy with ANY service here, ever.
Prices are competitive, appointments are easy to come by, though walk-​ins are welcomed (I recommend calling the morning of at least as they’re pretty busy).
I THINK they’re closed on Mondays, but they’re open late enough to accommodate most schedules.
I also REALLY appreciate the fact that I never feel like I’m being pushed into a more expensive service or treatment option. The staff is all very kind and they LISTEN. The bottle of water when I sit down is a nice touch also
Love them all here!
Cheers,

I think Nails on Neil is the best in Columbus!
Great prices, excellent polish selection (regular and gel), and most important: VERY clean!
I got a gel manicure 2+ weeks ago that still looks awesome! If I can fend off the «picking» habit, they will last even longer!
highly recommend!

This is my favorite nail salon in Columbus! They’re always busy but do a great job. Hien recently started doing my nails (I get acrylics). They look natural and thin! I love that they’re friendly, always offer a bottled water and will stay late to get you in.

Big Fan!
The ladies are always very nice and helpful. They’re super quick but not always the best quality.
Prices are cheap! So if you’re looking for the most luxurious, highly quality experience, go elsewhere. If you’re looking for a quick, good looking, mani then Nails on Neil will definitely suffice.
Make an appointment because sometimes they’re super busy and other times there’s no wait at all.

Nailing it!
After 1 visit, I’m sold. I don’t get manicures on a regular basis so I investigated many options in the Columbus area before making an appointment.
Some major selling points:
1) Online scheduling makes scheduling an appointment easy and efficient. You even get email and text reminders.
2) It seems like they take lots of walk-​ins too!
3) Staff is friendly and professional — They know what they are doing!
4) The technicians open new supplies for each customer. Cleanliness in a nail salon is essential.
5) They have an excellent selection of nail colors. It may take you a while to decide.
On my visit, I got a gel manicure. Pricing was competitive compared to other local salons. The technician worked diligently and the quality is impeccable. Proper pampering is the key to happiness. And, I am happy.
