2025-10-25I really enjoy the nail lab of Cary. Staff is super friendly and the technicians are amazing. Come in, bring the family! Fellas, come get a pedicure. Gotta take care of your feet. Its super worth it. It’s super relaxing. The massage chairs are great. Unwind for 45 min and let the stressed and aches of the week wash away. Just noticed they had some fall specials - pumpkin spice pedicure! I think I’ll try that next time. lol I’ll be back and recommend yall to everyone! 😁

2025-10-26I had a really pleasant experience at the Nail Lab of Cary this evening. For starters, I had called ahead and asked if it was ok to walk in but no worries if not as they were closing within the hour. The gentleman over the phone was very kind and invited me to come in. Everyone was so welcoming. Jackson was my nail tech and he took his time and really perfected the outcome of my reference photo. He made sure I was happy with everything and I really appreciated that. I love my nails and can’t wait to come back!

2025-07-09The Nail lab has become my go to place. High quality results and excellent customer service. Jackson was phenomenal today for my dip manicure and pedicure with gel polish. I’m so glad I found this place. I was never a regular mani/pedi girl but I’ve been coming here every 3 weeks got a year now. They’ve done some phenomenal designs, are super modern and clean. I’ve never loved my nails so much. Bring them a picture and they’ll make it happen! I’ve brought my 9 year old as a treat and they have treated her do well. She really feels special.
