Iโ€™ve been to plenty of nail salons but i happened to stop by to get my nails done here since i was close, the employees treat young people differently, i can only assume it is because theres a stereotype of young people not tipping. I tipped my nail artist $20. Anyways, the atmosphere is extremely uncomfortable, people staring, the employees barely acknowledging me , not being offered anything like other people, its just overall a bad experience. They only offer sns and for a basic pedicure and sns mani with tips my total came out to be $145. My nail broke within a week by putting socks onโ€ฆ this place overcharges for a horrible experience, uncomfortable service and rushed lousy work. EDIT Im so so upset with the work I received at this nail salon. I hope nobody wastes their money here. This place will ruin ur natural nails and rip them in half with their lazy, attitude-filled work. All of my nails that have broken have ripped my natural nails in half and made them bleed.

Nina is the best! She always nails each design (see what I did there? ๐Ÿ˜‰) I bring in a picture, and she recreates them all beautifully! Here are a few she knocked outta the park

The Nail Bar is hands down the best nail salon! I've been a loyal customer of Ly's for years, and the results are always stunning. The staff goes above and beyond, making you feel like part of their family and even remembering your name. Definitely ask for Ly when you visit!

Iโ€™ve been in McCalla 7 months and I finally found my people! When I first came here, I had acrylic. The sweet guy at the desk told me that they didnโ€™t do that and I was fineโ€ฆMy girl Nina has been doing my nails and feet since. She is so sweetโ˜บ๏ธ One day I called to come in and the guy at the desk told me it was good to come. Got there and a rush had come in. He asked if I wanted to wait for Ninaโ€ฆI said of course! Upon checkout I told him โ€œAs long as you all treat me the way you do, Iโ€™ll wait forever if I have toโ€๐Ÿค— It really makes a difference when youโ€™re seen and respectedโ˜บ๏ธ
