The best nail experience! The technicians checked in with me every step of the way to make sure I was happy with their work. Amy did a fantastic job on my liquid gel full set. Will definitely be coming back.

Yesterday was my first time going to Modern Nails since 2015. They were very professional, clean, and my nail tech was very efficient. My gel manicure was $40 and I tipped him $10 because I don’t like sitting too long and he was fast while still doing a great job!

AVOID THIS PLACE!!!! This is my nail 6 hours after getting a gel manicure. As you can see the nail polish is peeling uncontrollably. The nail polish and UV dryers they use are cheaply made and didn’t dry my nails properly. Over $70 down the drain. Go somewhere else!!!!!

My first time visiting Modern Nails and the guy that done my SNS was very fast, punctual and done a great job. The price was very reasonable and my nails looked great. The salon was very clean, quiet and relaxing. Looking forward to my next visit.

Talia is who serviced me today. She has done my eyebrows and they were great! Talia is my back up just in case my normal, Amy is busy and I can’t wait or is unavailable. But the people are all here to accommodate your needs if you want. Great job MODERN NAILS!!

This was my first time going to any nail salon in NC and i must say they were Very clean!!! I went for a pedicure and the nail tech really did his thing on my toes!! My feet feel brand new. I also had my eyebrows waxed and Im usually not satisfied when I go to a new place but the lady did a great job and I didnt have to tell her to fix it which I always end up doing going to a new place. Overall very satisfied and I will recommend to my family and friends.

I came here since I was close by in the shopping center and they were open on a Sunday. I got a pedicure and full set acrylic with gel polish. Totaled $108, I was told $55 was for my nails. My nails started lifting before the week was even over. They would get caught on everything including my hair and clothes. On top of that a few of the nails were shaped crooked. For the price it’s nowhere near where the quality needs to be. I went to my usual nail spot later and got the nails taken off and a new full set for $55 including tip! When the polish was taken off you could see all the nails were halfway lifted from the bottom. Will not be back.

I was early for my appointment and they took me right away. Some reviews talk about the wait time, when I went It was a slower day (Monday afternoon) so I would recommend sticking to weekdays during mid day if possible. My ombre acrylics look amazing.

I loved every bit of it. It was my daughter’s first time getting her nails painted professionally and they were great with her and my nails and made sure I got what I wanted. I definitely will be coming back.

My first visit there and it went well. I hardly do anything for myself in terms of spa days but thought I’d splurge. I was first customer and was greeted by several employees. The same young lady who did my toes also did my manicure. Courteous and did a great job!

Best Pedicures Ever!! But you have to ask for Hannah, Taliyah, Shayla or Sam those are my favorites. Make a appointment because they’re always booked and busy.

Review №19

This wS my first time getting my nails done here. Walked in and was immediately to wash my hands due to pandemic. That was a safety plus. My nails were beautifully and professionally handled with care. I will go back to this establishment whenever I visit the Ralegh/Durham area.

Review №20

I had a 2 o’clock spot with Thalia. She was still working on someone when I arrived. No problem, I understand that. Finally after patiently waiting for 33 minutes I was seated. Waited another 10 minutes while Thalia painted the ladies toes that was sitting in her chair. This was an addl service as I heard the lady ask about cost while getting her nails done. I walked out after waiting 40 minutes w/o getting my nails done. Not once did anyone acknowledge that I was waiting or even apologize for the wait. Thalia didn’t even say anything about me waiting and she knew I had an appt. Horrible service! I recently moved from Bellevue, WA and looking for a nail shop in the area b/c I regularly get my nails and feet done every other week. I will not come back again or refer anyone to this nail shop! Poor experience and customer service.

This was my 1st time at this establishment. My son and best friend recommended it. I got a full set..purple ombre and a deluxe pedi. We waited maybe 5 minutes after signing in. They offer you complimentary drinks and its a nice and relaxed environment. The staff is friendly and helpful. Shayla was awesome!! She took her time and paid attention to details!

I get my nails done like clockwork—every two weeks, always gel. I’ve gone to places all over Durham, from the high end to the tiny place offering $15 full sets. This is the only place in the area I go at this point and I’m consistently pleased with their work. Their prices are reasonable, quality is great, and the environment is clean and friendly. I typically schedule with Cynthia but have always gone to Thalia and Jake with beautiful results. They are really good about COVID precautions as well. Highly recommended!

Review №35

Amazing. Pampering. Relaxing. Everything I needed. I arrived at 12:51pm on a Sunday and was out by 2:15pm. I did not have an appointment. I decided to splurge today and had a citrus pedicure for $45. It was such a pleasant experience. The entire staff was friendly. They even had Star Wars the Last Jedi playing on Netflix, so it was like a free movie with my pedicure. The massage was to die for. I arrived with scary talons and left with beautiful soft toesies. I recommend this to anyone who is looking to pamper themselves and relax. I will definitely be coming here more often. Thank you so much for the experience!!! ☺️☺️

I went here today and I had one of my best pedicures. Although the lady who did my feet really didnt speak much English she was very nice. Now the lady who did my gel 💅 manicure, Hannah she was amazing and funny. She told me abt her family and I told her I do natural hair and had a jewelry business. She was pretty engaged with conversation. I also have really bad eczema and she didnt treat me any different or act funny when she saw my hands and arms. She even asked should she use thier lotion for my hand massage. I told her not to and that I would use my own. She said gt it out and she would massage into my hands n feet for me! She was truly awesome and I would go back just for her!💜🤗

I always go here because I am particular about the shape of my nails and I’ve had 3 or 4 different manicurist from the time I started going there about 4 years ago and each of them took meticulous care and attention to detail. They made sure I liked the shape and, although they work very quickly, they always take the time to make sure that the quality is good. ❤️

I really enjoyed my first experience at this nail salon! Ive had bad experiences at other places doing my nails too fast, bulky, or one nail could be shaped crooked. My nail tech Tahlia? She was a perfectionist! I got a full set of ombre white nails, toes polished, and eyebrow wax. My nails looks neat, natural and classy. Thank you Modern Nails for a great spa day!

So happy I found Modern Nails! I called early in the day for an appointment that evening. I havent gotten a pedicure since Feb 2020! So I was nervous about going in because I felt like there was a lot of work that needed to be done. Upon arriving, I checked in and picked out the color I wanted. I noticed their salon was clean, dedicated to handwashing, and the employees were taking precautions. I got the basic pedicure and it felt great! I felt pampered and taken care of. The technician paid attention to detail. Will be coming again!!!

This place has cheaper prices than most, but you alsoGet what you pay for. Nail artist are very Inexperienced and rush through their work to get you out of chair. I recently started going to this particular salon due to me moving to this side of town. I’ve been here three times and every time I have come myNails has broken. Within days. Nail artist also are not experienced in doing designs. They will tell you they can do a particular design just to get you in chair and then give you what they want. I would not recommend this place unless you want to constantly come back for repairs. Was cut multiple times by the nail file with no apology or money taken off
