Daniel Nail Studio

I’ve been coming here for a little less than a year now after moving to NC from NY and I’ve typically have had a pleasant experience. I’ve had multiple nail tech’s take care of my nails including Daniel and it’s always a knockout even when I don’t choose to get a design.The spider is the most recent design which Daniel did himself and absolutely understood the assignment. The staff are very friendly & sweet and listen when expressing a dislike while shaping. The salon always looks neat and tidy. I always recommend this place whenever someone asks me where I get them done.

I get my nails done relatively frequently and can truly say this is one of the best experiences I’ve had in a while. Daniel was both wonderful and efficient. Mind you, i only told him the words “pink, white, and maybe flowers”. No deposit, no last minute rescheduling, or nonsense.

So I came across their page on instagram and the work is beautiful! I’m not sure who does the nails on their but it’s beautiful. So I thought I would give them a try because I was looking for a new nail shop but I am very disappointed I had high hopes and my lady Cristina was sweet but the execution was very poor. The acrylics is too thick and uneven and was filed down a lot but not enough. I was burned with the drill a few times and it was $80 for short French tips but the price does not match the quality of work. I wanted tapered sharp square and I got rounded edges and bumpy acrylic. The top coat on one nail I guess absorbed into the nail and now it’s matte. My right hand looks better than my left but I am disappointed they are also slightly big for my fingers. I should’ve read the reviews like everyone else but yea….:(

Due to the reviews and pictures I decided to give this nail salon a try, as mine was too busy to fit me in. The lady who worked on my toes was very nice but seemed extremely nervous. I asked her if she could get some of the dead skin off the side of my big toe. She ended up scrubbing off a piece of my skin then proceeded to try to hide it by wiping the blood from the cut and putting my foot back in the water. I understand things happen and they are only human but at-least be honest. She then proceeded to but some type of ointment on my cut once I pointed it out to her she cut me. When using the scrub, she had the gloves on she was using to give me a pedicure and proceed to dip and grab scrub out of a container used for multiple people. I just then asked to not have my feet placed back in the water as I was worried I could get an infection. There was also a lady who was doing my acrylic fill in and did a great job no injuries and nails came out fine. She also seemed to be coaching the younger lady who was giving me the pedicure. After the pedicure was finished there was paint on my skin and one was already chipped. I showed her and she got the paint off of one of them. She just seemed very inexperienced and nervous which I understand but I definitely was not satisfied and asked for a discount for the pedicure. In which I was offered $5 off even thought the nail stylist cut me and left paint on my skin nor did a professional pedicure. I usually don’t write reviews but I was pretty disappointed as a spent $119. Will not be returning.

My first time here. A coworker recommended I try them out. I had Daisy and she was awesome. She fixed my nails that were poorly done form another nail salon. They’re a little pricey but she really did a good job. Highly recommend. I found my new nail tech! UPDATED REVIEW*** It’s been 2 days and my gel polish is chipping like crazy. So upset. I spent $70 for this. Unbelievable. No longer can rate them 5 stars.
