Philly’s Nails and Spa

Thank you Susan for responding back to me and giving me a better understanding. I’ll definitely be back to book an appointment with you because I’ve seen good reviews about you and I’ve seen pictures of your work and I loved it. Sorry for the misunderstanding .
So the lady that was doing my nail I think her name was yen was very nice and sweet but not too talkative. As she was doing my nails she probably cut the side of my skin from filing my nails to hard that it started stinging. Me being the nice person wasn’t mean enough to say anything. I wanted my nails cut down because it was getting too long but still wanted them coffin shaped. Overall I was left with a few uneven shaped nails and lack of gel polish all over my nails. So I wasn’t too happy. That would be my only downfall of this place. Although it was very nice and clean. I wished they would have more selections of gel polish .
I would probably give it another try only because it’s so close to home, the staff were really nice and hopefully to get in with the person I originally requested. Or if not, my search continues.

Lana’s the best! She fixed my bad nail situation and made them look perfect! She corrected them just like I asked and with ease. I felt very comfortable there, like one big family. I’m thrilled to have found my ever spot!

Took gf here for her birthday, the staff was great. Good atmosphere, her stylist, Susan, was great and did a wonderful job. Will definitely bring her back. Might get a mani myself lol

They are so polite and professional, everyone I go they cater to me and what ever I want! They are really good at mimicking designs and styles that I show them! And they have this amazing new thing called dipping powder it was so quick and shiny just like gel w/​o the uv light! Amazing!

This place is alright. They’re reasonably priced and do a good job. They’re very close to my house too, just around the block. I took two stars off because the nail tech that did my nails nicked my cuticle and caused it to bleed. I wish she would’ve let my nail beds soak a little longer so they could soften up. My nails sat in the bowl of water for like 30 seconds… that’s not nearly enough time for my skin to absorb the water. I think all nail techs should take this piece of advice and let the persons nail actually SOAK for a couple minutes so no cuts and pain occur.

They are the most amazing nail salon in south philly.
I was regularly attending Helens salon until after a few times I didn’t get the best service. I decided to use Unilocal to find a different salon to try. I tried a few different ones and once I went to this one, I never switched salons again.
The girls are amazing. They are great to have a conversation with, (doesn’t feel awkward or like you’re just sitting doing nothing), plus they’re very flexible and make sure everything you want is accomplished.
If anything ever goes wrong, they make sure to fix it, with no attitude at all even if it is my fault, lol. They’re a very «fit to your needs salon». They let me bring my own designs and take the time to help me chose the best polish.
In addition, my favorite women that works there is Kim, (hopefully I spelled it right, lol). But she is absolutely wonderful. She takes her time and pays attention very well. She is great to have a conversation with and make you feel as though you’ve been friends for years. She stays patient with me because I change my mind so much, and she always has the best suggestions.
It’s really nice when a salon fits your needs and has a positive attitude. They are wonderful and I enjoy putting my money into they’re services.

I love this place. They get me in and out. I go to Anna shes great! I also love how clean they are and aren’t reusing the same utensils on everyone. they even cover the bowl so you know its clean. They also have specials

This place is great! Tangerine exfoliating scrub and softening heel wax included in basic pedi!

Finally glad I found a clean, cheap, friendly salon that’s not in center city and closer to me in South Philly. I wouldn’t suggest parking out front on Broad except Sunday, as this is 2 hour old school meter parking and your nails will take quite a bit. You don’t want to be running out with wet toes having to refill the meter.
The place is a bit small but offers everything from manis and pedis to Brazilian wax to eyebrow shapeups and much more. There seemed to be about 6 or so pedicure stations and I didn’t have a problem getting a chair as a walk-​in client without an appointment on a Saturday afternoon. It does fill up quite quickly though, so get here a little earlier if possible. My pedicure was awesome, complete with a nice lotion/​cellophane heat wrap for my rough heels while she painted my nails, as well as a sugary scrub for my ankles and shins.
There seemed to be enough manicure stations. It’s just a matter of the amount of people on staff that day. Just cause there’s 5 or 6 manicure stations doesn’t mean there’s 5 or 6 people to help you.
I only took off a star because I, as a nail biter, needed acrylics with a gel manicure as opposed to the regular manicure and only one person in the whole place knows how to do it, which is surprising. The woman who did my pedicure transferred me to the manicure station and when I told her I wanted acrylics she said she can’t do it and that Lana is the only one who can do it, so that added about 30 – 40 minutes extra wait time while I waited for Lana to start and finish a whole other client. It wasn’t a huge deal as I had nowhere to go and didn’t mind waiting, but it’s helpful to know for the next time I go there. Maybe I should stop biting my nails is the moral of this story.
Either way, Lana did a speedy, efficient job on my acrylics and my gel manicure color and she accommodated my request to round out the square edges of my fake nails a bit. They have a wide variety of gel manicure colors but I wasn’t able to get one to match the toe color I had just gotten done, which is the only problem if you want a matching set.
Overall, the staff was very friendly and my acrylic set, gel manicure, and pedicure only ran me $ 50 total. I will definitely be back here as a repeat client.

I was looking for a nail salon in my neighborhood to get a refill. I got on Unilocal & decided based on the reviews to go here. It was an overall great experience, I got a pedicure too which was nice. I would for sure come here again.

Got a gel manicure and eyebrow wax for $ 27. Took about 40 minutes. My nails look great! I will come back here.

Went there for their pedicures with my grandma. The ladies are nice, and their prices are reasonable too! They used brand new tools for our pedicures, which is a plus in my book! Their massage was a little bit disappointing for a spa pedicure :(it was quick with no pressure (we were kinda expecting more since we wanna relax). But overall, great experience. Would come back again.

I went here to get a Brazillian wax. I made an appointment to get waxed but had to wait for about 20 minutes when I arrived, which was fine but not great service. As far as the waxing went, it was the longest and most painful waxing I’ve had. They use soft wax there, and she did the same spots over and over again I was dying. Also the waxing room wasn’t the most sanitary, I tried to distract myself from the pain by counting all the bugs on the ceiling. Finally she was over and I was relieved. Upon reviewing the waxing at home, I see there are still patches of hair all over and it not smooth. Anyways it was a bummer!

I used to go to another salon in the neighborhood, but the quality of service and product here won me over. They have a wide selection of high quality polishes in fun colors and you get a free paraffin treatment for your heels with every pedicure. They have a special, I think on Tuesdays, where a mani and pedi is $ 25. Beyond that, prices are reasonable. Put it this way: my pedis easily last 6+ weeks without chipping. Leisurely and cost-​effective. Bam.

Really nice staff, but my gel mani lasted 2 days and started to peel off. By day 4 I had lost 6 nails and by day 6 they were all gone. This has never happened to me before! I would rather go elsewhere and spend double the money to have them last the usual 3 weeks.

Four visits later and I’m still in love.
They do great work on $ 20 gel nails ($ 32 UV) and waxing services — all of them ;-) — too!
Mon-​Wed-​Fri is where it’s at: $ 28 for a mani-​pedi! And gentlemen are very welcome for mani-​pedis and waxing too.
Might have to take them up on their ‘spa party’ soon!

I like this salon. I recently went for a gel manicure as well as a pedicure. My gel manicure was fantastic and I’m on day 15 without any chips. The pedicure was you’re standard pedicure. Total bill came out to 40 bucks! Exactly what I wanted on a Sunday afternoon
Its a good salon, but don’t expect anything glamorous. I do think it’s probably one of the better ones compared to others in this area.

Ladies — VERY effective and meticulously done Brazilian wax in South Philly, for $ 50. What else do I need to say? Where else are you gonna go? All the way uptown to the Russian woman who sometimes verbally abuses her customers? Or to Rittenhouse for a $ 100 «spa experience» when all you want is for your lady-​parts to be smooth? Meh — too much trouble. Lana was great, fast, friendly and as pain-​free as any Brazilian I have had (and I have had many). I will be going back for other services, she was great.
The place isnt a Rittenhouse spa, it’s a small South Philly nail salon — don’t expect too many frills in the waxing room, which doubles as their spray tanning room. If you dont know what to talk about when another human female has her face as close to your bits as any boyfriend/​husband or doctor ever has, just strike up a conversation about the weather ;-)

Low cost my daughter like this place

Very sweet staff. Great choice of colours for polish including gels which is killer. They don’t really use opi gel base which is the only one that works for me (but has trashed my nails so I can understand why). Their selection of acrylic colours is insane. I mean I was like a kid in a candy store. Had a hard time picking since I don’t want to be changing this frequently. See my pic in photos here.
Sparkly acrylic rocks & I’m glad to see that a salon is picking up on the trend here on the east coast. It’s been really hard to find here in Philly.
& yes their massage chairs are awesome :)
