Im new to Athens and my friend recommended High Cotton Nail Bar so I went on Halloween ๐ŸŽƒ and i was a walk in. I was immediately greeted by the young lady at the front counter and she asked how they could help me; I told her what I wanted/ needed and after explaining to her about the trouble I had with the app I downloaded she got me seated right away and then checked me in. She also went and told the owner Ms. Sang about the issues with the app and she immediately reached out to her technical service and reported the issue. Hands down this is one of the highest quality nails salons I have ever been too in the area from Huntsville to Athens. I could not be more pleased with the service I received from the time I walked in to the time I walked out!! The quality of the nail tech was amazing too. Tony was his name and he did exactly what i wanted. These are my nails with acrylic overlay. I will be returning as long as I live here. I Highly recommend High Cotton Nail Bar.

I decided to go here since the reviews were so good. I got an amazing pedicure, she dis a great job on my toes. Then we went to put on the acrylic nails and everything was fine, when they were done I took a once over ( need to learn take a detailed look) and gave my tip and left.

Took my daughter to get her nails done for her birthday. We walked in with no appointment but were fit in immediately. She is only 11 (read: small nails), and had a very detailed design picked. Tony NAILED it! Daughter is thrilled with them! They are adorable!
