New Happy Nails

My little sister came in to town for her birthday and had to fix a horrible acrylic job. My bestie and I met up here to get our nails done and she always had a great experience with her acrylics so I decided to bring her here. Since I wasn’t sure of the nail color selection, I bought my own two colors and decided to still browse thier colors just in case I saw something that caught my eyes.
I used one of my own nail colors for my toes. I chose one of their nail colors for my fingers. While doing my finger nails, they asked to see my OPI color. I said sure… Just thinking that they wanted to see what color it was. I put it on the table, then they started talking in whatever language they speak about it, and I turned back to talking to my sister. She finished my nails and told me to go to the dryer and as we got up, I put my nail polish back into my bag. Well imagine my surprise when she said that it’s hers. Um, no. It’s mine. I’ll take mine out, but you go see for yourself. This is my color that I paid 8 bucks at target for. She proceeded to snatch it out of May hand and I snapped. I said, GIVE ME MY COLOR. After she was told by another lady working there that Lincoln Park After Dark was in fact accounted for in their inventory, she proceeded to check and make sure every other color that they may have had was there as well too.
No apology. No reassurance that it wasn’t personal.
This was probably the most unprofessional thing that I have ever experienced, and I’ve gone to some pretty «ghetto» nail salons.
I will never ever go back and I urge everyone to avoid this place at all costs, or at the very least, don’t bring your own nail polish.

I go here regularly and it’s always great. Service is efficient, of good quality and done with a smile. They have a $ 25 mani/​pedi combo on weeknights, what a deal!

Worst mani/​pedi ever. Nail technicians are unskilled and are not thorough. The girl who painted my nails couldn’t have been any older than 13, and it shows. There was polish on my skin and on the flip flops I wore to the salon. And when I asked her to remove it, she got annoyed.
Additionally, if the polish they used on my nails is any indication, they dilute their products (see photo).
The massage chair is great, but that was really the only positive about this place. I’ve had plenty of great $ 25 mani/​pedis in Philly, so the «you get what you pay for» adage is a bunch of crap. This is definitely a place to avoid.

Lousy atmosphere, unskilled technicians– that sums it up. I could look past the duct tape on the floor and the vague smell of mildew permeating the air if I got a really great pedicure, however that was NOT the case. The main reasons I get a professional pedicure is 1) to have all the dead skin and overgrown cuticles thoroughly removed, and 2) to have the nails perfectly shaped and painted. This pedicure was a fail on both counts. The woman who did my pedicure was unskilled with the cuticle cutters and sloppy with the polish. The one positive thing I have to say is she did spend a good amount of time with the pumice stone on the bottoms of my feet. Other than that, it was essentially a waste of $ 20; I really could have done a better job myself at home and I’m certainly no nail professional.
Needless to say I will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

Visited my friend in Mt Airy and decided to check out the new nail place. While she had a decent experience with a regular French mani I got the worst gel manicure of my life. The old lady got mad because I didn’t choose a color right away, then an hour and a half later she completed the worst mani job ever. She literally would paint a nail and put it under the lights. One by one. The end result… boredom and super thin polish where you can see every stroke, see through my nails and polish on my skin around my nails. While the price is good ($ 20) I certainly won’t be back. If it didn’t take so long I would have asked for her to re-​do it!!! (not to mention it chipped and two of my nails broke within 48 hours… must be a fake gel manicure or something???)
