Blush Nails & Spa

The place is ridiculously busy that they rush through your appointment. The only place I’ve been where my shellac manicure chipped the same day because they didn’t give adequate time for drying. They were very apologetic, but it was still disappointing, and they couldn’t get me back in that day to fix it. They will fix a mess up for up to 7 days after, and they are very nice, and they serve mimosas, but I felt so rushed and I will not be back. And I had an appointment! I can’t imagine being a walk-​in.

I just moved here less than a month ago from DC. I went to LaVie nails&spa in Columbia for my first SC nail experience. They were HORRIBLE, they left water between my nail and the acrylic for a fill. I got a regular fill and gel polish and paid 40 $ and the nails broke less than 12 hours. Horrible customer service.
**So I did more research and found BLUSH!!! My saving grace! I called and spoke with Michelle, I told her my horror story. She was absolutely wonderful and caring. I got in quickly for an appointment, a new fresh full set, pedi and eyebrow wax. Lisa was my technician she was so sweet and precise! She kept checking to make sure she was doing everything the way I wished. By far the best experience since I’ve moved here. Blush will be my new SPOT for good! Amazing customer service and they go above and beyond for your expectations. Everyone is so friendly there, I will make the 25 minute commute to blush from here on out! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM of my heart!!!

What a great experience. I am a licensed Cosmetologist/​Instructor. Everyone was friendly, accommodating and talented. Thank you Gabi for the great pedi and mani.

The pedicure was pretty great but my nail broke not even a week later. Then I broke another nail. It made me so frustrated because the point is to be low maintenance. Just took them off for a shellac manicure instead.

My sister and I really wanted to try this place out because we heard good things. We came around noon on a Friday and they wouldn’t give me a specific wait time. (bad sign haha) but we chose to wait because it was my sister’s bday. So heads up, make an appointment. I got pushed back at least 4 times because of appointments. It is super busy in this place and the advice given to me is go on M-​Thurs or make an appointment.
Service was still nice, beverages were offered (mamosa, oj, wine, etc) My sister got the pedi… she said signature is NOT worth it because they only do all the special lotions/​scrubs for a few seconds each. She also got a nail tech that was not into doing her nails. She was rushed and did a sloppy job. I don’t know her name… I was just waiting on someone to do a full nail set. I got a very patient and kind person named Kelly. She did a great job and did exactly as I asked her. You can tell she’s done this a lot as her attention to detail was spot on. So I guess I was lucky in getting who I got. The shop is also nice and the front desk guy was very kind and had great customer service.
It was worth the wait in the end although I think they do need a better system.

My girlfriend really needed a pedicure at last minute. Her toe nails were really hard to look at. The people here were friendly and her toes coming out looking real good!

My first time getting my nails done was a definite sucess! I got a full set w gel powder and polish and an ombré touch! I’m very happy with my nails and i cannot wait to come back! Thank you Michelle! The place is beautiful, but the workers are truly what makes it the best salon. They truly care about the look, feel, and overall opinion of their customers! Definitely recommend!

They do an amazing job and have friendly staff, but unless you get there as they are opening the doors or make an appointment, plan to wait quite a while! Mostly because they are so popular. Super clean!!! I highly recommend!

Went there for first time. Based on other reviews, I made an appointment well in advance. I had been going to another salon down the road but had a horrible experience and knew it was time to move one. The experiences were night and day. Blush was extremely busy with a waiting line but I was greeted immediately. I did have a short wait which worked for me since I had to run an errand across the street. They were very careful of my damaged nails (had nails that had been ripped and glued together at the other salon). The nail technicians were friendly to each other and to the customers. I did ask the best times to show up and will be returning. Signature pedi is worth the additional $ 10.

I recently moved to Lexington and have been searching far a great nail salon. I stumbled across Blush on Google. I was really impressed when I walked in… granted it was a Saturday and a holiday weekend and super busy, I decided to wait… an hour… My overall service was great, both my mani and pedi were done perfectly. My only issue was the way they clean the pedi tubs, they quickly sprayed some sort of disinfectant and used the same towel as the person’s feet were on who just got up. Maybe it was just because it was so crazy busy, but if they can get that in check I’m def interested in having them become my new favorite spot!

Some techs are better than others. Good service when you can get some! I’ve been twice trying to get my nails done recently. The first time I had to wait after my pedi and I didn’t have time. The second time they tell me at 4:20 that they aren’t taking anymore acrylic. Soooo if I had regular nails it would be ok?! (For the person that knows what they’re doing acrylic doesn’t take that long) and WTF They don’t close until 6. You are a nail salon, so as long as I wasn’t coming in at 530 it shouldn’t matter what service I want and if this is the case, it needs to be posted somewhere in the establishment! I almost never want to go back because of this. Looking for a new salon with a wide gel selection P. S. I watched them double dip in the wax

Really enjoyed the staff and my gel nails were perfect for over 3 weeks. However, I cant seem to make an appointment due to none being available. Thats my biggest complaint. My nails look terrible because I have had to wait so long to get in!!! However, I will make an appointment eventually and I have a feeling this will be my new place to go. Even if its a 40 min drive out of my way!

It’s really hard to love any nail salon here when the people providing you the service are so uninterested in what they are doing or unskilled. Blush is my 4^th or 5^th place I’ve visited trying to find a place that fits my expectations for the money these establishments want. What I noticed here today is Taun is not much for cleaning out the pedicure run after a client!!! (EWW) who wants to share foot germs with other strangers especially with some of the feet I’ve seen? No one I gather! So I get stuck with a young girl who’s only been doing nails for 2 years or so, ok… She does a pretty decent pedi but my gel mani was Ehhhh. I leave with nails that are different length s, WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN WITH YOU SO CALLED PROFESSIONALS? If I wanted a home gel mani I can do that, and probably do a better job than you! A professional should be able to LOOK at my nails and tell me what I need not the reverse. And as sweet as my nail tech was her waiting to see what tip I was gonna put down was extremely annoying. Truth be told I didnt want to leave one at all but did. Some ppl who have been in the area all their lives may think this place is awesome, but personally for me coming from NJ where I’ve had better service for a cheaper price I am not impressed with Blush or Lexington or SC Nail professionals… You get a C rating with me and im being generous with that.
Left paying $ 70 for waxing, pedi & mani
Ugh

Michelle has been my nail tech for several years & I was so excited when she opened her own place! I am so proud of what she has accomplished! I always love the way my nails look & the signature pedicures are a great treat. The staff is friendly & professional, the salon is clean, the prices are great, & my nails always look great when I leave. Blush is the only place I go for nail service!

Only place I’ll get my nails done. Michelle runs an amazing salon. Great service, great talent.

I had my first manicure/​pedicure here on Friday. The basic manicure was good and the hot stone pedicure was great. The staff was wonderful and treated my medical service dog with respect. I will definitely return.

Best kept secret in Columbia! Having moved from Atlanta I’ve struggled to find a good nail salon. Nicely decorated, very clean, awesome polish selection and prices! I’ll definitely be going back!

I gave blush another try! Michelle, Thank you for making it right today! I love my gel manicure! I love the atmosphere at blush, and am glad that i can return with confidence in the work ill have done. Thanks again!

I absolutely loved this nail salon. Both my mani & pedi were done by a pleasant young woman who held great conversation. My nails were done with patience and professionalism. She did a great job in making sure I got exactly what I wanted.
The environment was very clean and professional. Complimentary drinks, massage chairs, tv, etc. All employees that were working greeted me at some point during my visit, which made me feel very comfortable.
I live in Gilbert and drove to Red Bank just to try this place out and I can assure you, it was worth it. I will definitely be coming back and will recommend Blush to anyone!

I LOVED my treatment at Blush. Right when I walked in the door I was greeted immediately with a warm welcome. They also took the time to help me decide on my color… Which I rarely get asked when I go to a nail salon. On top of the great service the place was very clean. The technician that worked on my nails was very tentative to my needs and i felt like she cared about making sure I was treated well. I highly recommend blush for great quality and service.
