I’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 on… 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.

This place is great, you can have nice conversations with them, the nail art is awesome, they are careful. And they have drinks of all kinds of varieties.front desk guy is great! It’s my family’s favorite place to visit and get our nails done at! We go there every time! Great service there too. Love that place.

Nina is the best! She always nails each design (see what I did there? 😉) 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!

I’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 didn’t do that and I was fine…My girl Nina has been doing my nails and feet since. She is so sweet☺️ 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 Nina…I said of course! Upon checkout I told him “As long as you all treat me the way you do, I’ll wait forever if I have to”🤗 It really makes a difference when you’re seen and respected☺️

Prevent Nail Damage

Expert advice from the professionals at the nail bar

  • Always use a base coat before applying colored polish
  • Visit the nail bar for professional gel or acrylic removal - never peel them off yourself
  • Avoid using your nails as tools to open cans or scrape things
  • Don't cut cuticles - gently push them back instead
  • Use acetone-free nail polish remover to prevent drying

💎 Pro Tip: The team at the nail bar uses gentle removal techniques to prevent damage - damaged nails can take 3-6 months to recover!
