Update: I was contacted by Michele who offered to fix my nails., which I very much appreciated. Im pretty sure the tech that did these no longer works there, Michele did a great job my nails looked clean and new. I would recommend if anyone goes here to use Michele, or ask for friends for other tech recommendatios.I was recommended this place by a coworker whose nails always look nice. I’m very disappointed. I got my nails done Monday night it is Wednesday morning and nails are breaking already.These are my nails only two days later. They are thick and They look weeks old. It looks like I need a fill in already. I paid $75 for a fill in a three repairs, this is most expensive fill in I have ever gotten, but the worse set of nails I have ever seen. The nail tech was sweet but was not listening to what I wanted. She left fingernail polish all over my nails and the top coat all over my finger. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The quality is too poor for the price.

I do not want any of my friends and family coming here! I’ve been coming here for about 3 yrs now! The most I’ve ever paid way $35 and tip however this last 2 times coming….when it’s time to pay (mind you my nails are really short bc I cut hair) Spring and this other lady in there over charged me!!! $50 for a cut down that I never asked for and she always did that in the pass (was $10) she claim the rest was $40 or something I was so confused! Then I got a regular pedicure which in the pass was $20 or $25 but left spending $60 which didn’t make sense the most it should have been was $30 nothing was done oh so different! Will not be back!! I should have known the prices up front, period.

Love this place, been coming for years to get my acrylics done. Recently started getting my eyebrows done here too, and it’s the best they’ve ever been done! My nails are hard to do but always come out looking great. Get them done everytime I come home from school because there’s no place I trust more!

One of the few places I found open on Sunday. Traveled to Virginia for a wedding and stopped here as a walk-in. Michelle did an amazing job with my ombré dip nails.

This place is beautiful, everyone is so nice, and this is the best nail experience Ive ever had! I am in love with my nails and I will come here next time Im here!!Ive added a photo of my nails two weeks after getting them. Im rough with my nails and usually have issues with nails breaking but I have yet to break one and they are still super shiny!!

I used to frequent this salon when I lived in the Norfolk area. Michelle was my usual tech and is honestly the best. I moved last year and began going to a place closer to home. Recently I decided to come back. I made an appointment with Michelle for last Saturday. When I got there, during my pedicure I was told by the tech that Michelle will not be able to do my nails. No explanation why, just that she won’t be doing my nails. I was super disappointed but decided to give the other tech a try. Huge mistake. The nails were thick, bumpy, crooked, and not the shape I asked for. I continually asked the tech to reshape them to no avail. She simply did not understand or was not able to do what I wanted. I ended up going elsewhere that same day to get them corrected. So long story short, that door is closed now. I won’t be going back. Let’s face facts, they are expensive but used to be well worth it. Not anymore. The quality of service has gone downhill and not honoring your appointment without reason is very unprofessional.

Review №11

Ouchies! My nail is still bleeding. And they charged about 200% more than the price we talked about due to it being gel. They also charged more than listed because they said they raised the prices during the pandemic. Ummm I felt like I couldn’t argue and paid and left but I feel this place is icky and it was the most money I ever paid in my life for a pedicure. they could have told me in the beginning, “by the way, this is gel so it will cost twice as much.”

Review №12

The wait was much longer than expected. All I needed was for her to file down my acrylics. She was really rude and told me mine didn’t look good (I originally had an almond shape) and cut them down and barely shaped them. She also left them super thick. I felt like because I got them done somewhere else and this was a quick job and not a lot of money she didn’t care.

Review №17

I travel a lot for work and needless to say Ive tried many nail salons during my work trips. I gave Forever Nail Spa a try due to a recommendation from a colleague. I was a walk in client looking for an acrylic fill and they promptly accepted me in-- which is very much appreciated. However, I was assigned to a nail tech that seems like she doesnt even care about her job. She was rough with my manicure and she complained a lot and was not friendly (please keep in mind, I do speak Vietnamese so there were no language barriers). I had asked for 3d flowers and she told me Im too lazy to do it. What kind of service is that? Maam Im literally paying you and this is your excuse? I chose a light blue color that another customer chose as well, but my nail tech decided to ask me if I wanted to change colors last minute. She then followed up with if you want nail designs then book with that lady over there next time and your manicure looks ok, I couldve done better but I have an appointment now so I dont have time. Clearly, professionalism is not their top priority. After seeing how they responded to another clients negative review on google; I will definitely not be coming back nor will I recommend this place. The salon is clean and stylish, but the nail techs and customer service are not worth it.

Review №20

I wanted to love this place but the pedicure was so painful (when cutting and filing my already trimmed nails) and my manicure was rushed, over the price originally discussed, and not 100% painted in multiple spots. Overall at a glance my nails were cute but if I’m going to pay way over the price discussed I would at least want my nails to be completely painted.

Horrible customer service, more so from management. They have a different price every time I come. My pedicure looks worse than I would’ve did on my own at home. My nails look nothing like the design I asked for. The best tech they had was Katie and she’s no longer there. Please save your time and money and go anywhere else.

Review №24

I left leaving with nothing but love for my nails. Michelle was a great tech and constantly asked if I was content with my shape and color. The only comment I have is about their time management. I know they have to get as many clients as possible to make money but I wish they didn’t schedule appointments so close together, it makes them rush on service. If I’m paying $70 I hope to see a little more attention to detail on them. I will be going back, because despite the time concern, my nails look beautiful!

First time coming to this salon and I was not disappointed!! I called and made a apt for 5 because I get off work at 5, the salon closes at 7 they made me feel so welcome and truly took their time with me. I got a pedicure & a full set and they both turned out amazing!! The atmosphere of this salon is so welcoming, everyone was so professional. This will be my new salon ❤️

Ok i went here after the reviews sternly tired to turn me away. but uh THIS WAS THE BEST MY NAILS HAVE EVER LOOKED. i’m an ally and will give it to you straight. go to Trish. Ms. Trish knows her craft, she made sure my nails were PERFECT. i got dip powder in a light pink bc I was in a wedding this weekend and she not only did a fantastic job but answers any question i had and her and her coworkers were so friendly and kind. i have never had such great service from a nail tech and i have been to my fair share. IF YOU ARE SCARED BC OF THE REVIEWS- TAKE THIS ONE AND GO MARCH DOWN TO SEE MY GIRL TRISH and u will leave poorer than you came in bc you will want to tip her for such clean and perfect nails. a woman of her craft. pop off trish. i’m your biggest fan.

So my very first time getting my nails done and I was extremely spectacle because I didn’t know how good they did. They all were very friendly and I showed her a picture and she did exactly what I wanted. The lady did my nails and feet and I left around 8. She was very gentle and professional with my nails.There’s literally no extra paint on the skin or acrylic still left behind the nail. I recommend anyone in the 757 to go here you won’t regret it!!!!

Review №38

I guess you have to ask for someone that knowe what they are doing to do your nails. I got a pedi and my nailpolish is subpar. They didnt do much work on my feet to get dead skin off. Then he didnt listen to what i wanted done with my nails. Just did whatever and when he painted them he didnt go all the way to the top of my nails with the gel paint so i had to tell him and a lady then finished my nails and seemed like she had much more experience . it was not relaxing at all going through all this.

I think this place is great!!!! Michelle did a full set and I never had nails look so nice and feel so light! They turned out gorgeous. She was also very gentle but gave a great hand massage, too. She was so very nice! MIMi did my pedicure. She did amazing too. Very detailed with everything. She made my feet feel amazing, the softest they have been in a long time. She also took her time on painting my toenails to make sure they looked very nice. Mimi and Michelle even helped me take my shoes off! They have amazing customer service. They also do try to fit you in.When you come here you’re going to get taken care of. I’m definitely coming back thank you💜

I have been going to Forever Spa since shortly after they opened for business. This is a great place! The staff is professional and friendly. The establishment is clean, priced fairly, and they also provides an individualized spa experience for the services being provided. They take their time with each client and I love that! Forever spa is kid friendly too, I take my daughter with me sometimes. They also provide amazing waxing services. Will not go anywhere else!!

Review №52

Do not recommend! Made an appointment for a gel manicure and classic pedi. Upon arriving, the front desk swept through the salon yelling at various employees to take me. I stated multiple times I wanted regular polish for the pedi but was told the colors I asked for only came in gel. I gave up and finally said I would do a gel pedicure. Only TWO employees had their masks on and my tech literally breathed on my nails and toes with his mask covering half of his mouth. They allowed several clients to enter and remain in the salon without face coverings. Manicure station was dirty with nail clippings and acrylic nails from other clients. I won’t be returning but I will report this salon to the health department.

They were both really rough and the lady forgot to put cuticle oil on my nails after. My real nails are so damaged and thin!!!!!

Ive been coming here for pedicures for a while and have loved what i get for the price, especially compared top some of the expensive salons nearby. I decided to try or their waxing services a few months ago and was very pleased with the service and price as well as the cleanliness and efficiency the technician. HOWEVER, i came for my second wax today and when she was almost through realized the tech was double-dipping the stick. This is a huge sanitary concern! I thought maybe it was a single use pot of wax but it appeared that it was not, as it wad not removed from the warmer after she finished. I would be concerned about the overall cleanliness of their equipment and professionalism of the staff after this experience and will not get another wax here.

Dont go to this place, owner is scamming people. Let me start from the beginning..I had been going here for a few months leading up to my wedding and had no complaints. I scheduled an appointment months in advance for myself and bridesmaids to get manicures and pedicures. When I scheduled, I was told we would have our own section set up with a table where we could bring 2 bottles of wine. I called to confirm that week and even received a text message confirming my appointment. We get there at our appointment time which was when they open, and they were all clueless of what was going on, no table, disorganized, and said they dont have tables. we had to repeat over and over again what we wanted and they rushed through all my bridesmaids nails because more customers were coming in. It was like my appointment didnt matter and there really is no point in making one. I will say my nails turned out great; however when I went to pay my $345 bill, the owner told me that I would only get points for my manicure and pedicure, not for the 5 others I was paying for. A friend of mine had told me about them scamming people out of points and rewards disappearing, well I experienced it first hand. They told me they would not give me the points for everyone because it was separate accounts. Which is a bold faced lie because everything was booked and paid for under my appointment. She just doesnt want people to have rewards clearly. I will never go here again. Dont have a rewards system and then not want to give the points. Im not going to give a business hundreds of dollars a year and not get rewards when I can easily go somewhere else, receive better service, and get rewards towards a free service considering how much money I am spending. Be aware, your rewards dont last here and magically expire and disappear. Its all a scam.

This is actually a nail spa and not a nail shop. They take care of your hands and nails. They are very friendly and welcoming. They are more expensive ($$$) but they also have a rewards program for your faithfulness. I am very close to getting a free eye brow wax. They offer you water. I recommend this business. This was my second visit and I got the exact same experience as my first. When you find something good you dont pass it up.
