I called in a bit last minute to see if I could come in to get a dip powder set and a pedicure. They were able to accommodate me and a friend and we both got our services completed professionally and before closing time. I am exceedingly impressed by the work my manicure specialist performed. She was kind and attentive and really did an amazing job. I was a bit indecisive with what I wanted in terms of my dip but she was patient with me. Im from out of town but I look forward to my next session the next time I visit. Also, I had a cut on my left thumb but she was still able to get it done without putting any harsh chemicals or abrasive substances on it that would irritate it. And she did it in a way that would prevent any possible contamination to the rest of the powder. Fantastic job!P.s. I wish I could remember the young ladys name but it escapes me. Brian assisted my friend with her mani and pedi.
I’ve been coming to this nail salon for almost 4 years and it used to be so good. Lately it has just been sloppy, and this was my most recent visit. After only a couple of days, this is what my gel manicure looked like (and it didn’t look much better on the day it was done). They’re uneven and they are already chipping in multiple places. Super disappointed and won’t be back.
The first time I came to this place I arrived at 5:30, they turned me away because they closed at 6. This second time I walked in and was greeted with attitude, they made me feel like they wanted to refuse service, I’m assuming because I didn’t have an appointment, but they’re sign outside clearly says walk in’s. & they wouldn’t give me an exact price on what I was wanting. Never again.
By far the BEST nail experience I have ever had. They gave me water while I waited and they treated their customers (and me) like family. Everything there was clean and Holly completed my manicure with the utmost precision and care. As a brand new customer, I was shocked at the quality and the hospitality. I will be a life-long customer now.
Ive been twice with 2 years in between visits because I live in Montana but visit my family when I can. Kind, friendly staff. Always clean. Relaxing environment. Wide range of services. I will continue to go here as long as they are open when Im in town.
Ive been going to Holly for years, but life happened. I hadnt seen her in two years. She still remembered me. She personally tended to me and my family as if we were old buddies. I love her and wouldnt go anywhere else. Many complain of the wait time here, but its worth it. Miss class, call in to work. Its worth the time spent.
I very rarely leave reviews but I feel that this needs to be said.I brought my six year old to Holly’s salon today for both of us to get mani/pedis. I called and made an appointment for 2:10. We arrived at 2pm and ended up waiting until after 2:40. After a bit of confusion (due to them double booking) we were told to sit in dirty pedicure chairs. The little girl chair was peeling and had chipped nail polish all over inside the bowl where her feet were. The elderly lady who did our nails started with me and my daughter ended up sitting with her feet in water for about 45 minutes (the water was well beyond cold at this point which she had mentioned a couple times). My toes look very subpar (to the point that I was going to pass on having my finger nails painted). The woman ended up pushing my daughters dress over her freshly painted finger nails, getting paint on her dress and didn’t fix her nail polish. When it came time for them to do my fingernails the woman told me I had to wait another hour or go back in tomorrow (just shy of two hours at this point) Which saved me the uncomfortableness of changing my mind on the manicure. The polish used on my daughter started to peel within 3 hours of application which I assume was gel polish not applied properly. This was a very unfortunate $72 experience. I gave two stars instead of one because the woman who did our nails was very kind and she gave me a $5 off card to use to get my nails done tomorrow. Given all of this, I couldn’t/ wouldn’t recommend this salon to anyone.
So me and my friend went there around 4pm and we wanted a Manicure and pedicure. It went super good. Let me Just say holly is the greatest person ever they close at 7 or 8 I don’t exactly remember but we were there tell 9pm and holly still took there time on my friends nails. The person that did my nails I was bot a big fan my nails were uneven and the fell off in 2 weeks the glue Just gave up but I do play sports and go to the gym everyday But I’ve never had nails Jsut fall off but other then that great experience 10/10 recommend
I went to NBH for the first time today for a simple polish manicure and an eyebrow wax. Holly herself was doing nails on an obvious regular next to me, and it was good to see how she talked to people coming in and such. There were some girls who showed up early for their pedicure appointment, and some other ladies were finishing up. A young helper was prepping things for their seats, and at 5 minutes past their appointment time, they got up and left because Our appointment was at 5:00. I dont know what life theyre living, but every doctor, dentist, esthetician, repair guy, etc. leaves people waiting. I do it myself when issues arise at work.Anyway, they seem to be hard-working, of the right ages to be a family, and kind to one another. The place is a little cluttered, but clean, and my nails are cute and my brows are even, for less than Ive paid at other places. I also take it seriously when someone is obviously proud of their work and cares about their regulars...they were making color and design suggestions, and a regular customer came in with birthday cupcakes for Holly and the staff. Lets keep our east side small businesses strong!
Getting a manicure and the lady uses the soft brush to clean the table and I was like ok. I thought they used that for nails, but I’ll just keep an eye on things and go from there. The same brush was used to dust off my nails just after she was done with my cuticles! She then used the SAME brush to clean the table off again. Omg no wonder people get infections here! I saw that numerous people have gotten infections from here on some of the reviews left by others. I let Holly know as we were paying. She apologized, but there is really no excuse for this. One thing you want to have at a nail salon is a sanitary environment. This absolutely disgusts me and I will tell everyone I know to stay far away from this so called salon! 😡
I absolutely love this nail salon! I had originally started going to this location due to the convince of it being so close to my apartment, but the kind employees and beautiful nails have kept me going back over the years. Holly is so sweet and talented! I highly recommend going here.
I decided to try a new salon out and it worked so well! My nails feel so much better than they have in a long time! Jodie really did a great job and I will certainly be back.
Nails by Holly has the most welcoming and kindest staff. Not only did they do an amazing pedicure, they also take their time on nails and nail art and continuously ask if you like them and are happy with the way they are doing things. I know I will be a return customer!! Can’t say enough good things about this place and the people there!
This women and her husband did my nails I was always satisfied with what they did.. to bad they don’t work here no more they were the best always focused made sure my nails look right always were nice to me I like this place more than across the street (if the wife and husband still worked there would’ve gave this place 5 stars)😌
⭐ Read before going ⭐This is my second time here.My first time was okay and the reviews all say positive things so I came back..The first time I came I sat with a lady who was very sweet, she told me she does not have a professional license to work on nails, she wasnt getting one, and that she was only trained hands on.Yesterday, my friend and I popped in to get our nails done on a whim.My anniversary is soon so I wanted my nails to look good.. in short, they dont.We sat down and they put our hands in acetone to soak off our nails. Mine was burning me (from the acetone and the temperature) and when I told the guy it was burning he insisted I keep my nails in the acetone, so I did. Come to find out later that my friend had the same problem.Then as they were doing our nails already they informed us they had raise their prices to $60, my friend was getting a more elaborate design so she figured that was why. So she changed it and the price remained the same. It was our fault for not looking it up first but both of us left feeling jipped.3 nails on either hand are not the same length, one is literally leaning to the left on my left hand. My nails are not almond like I asked for and none of them are the same shape.They snipped off our nail tips and put them in these reused tubs.. my guess is to reuse the nails later and thats just gross to me.A few weeks ago, I went across the street to La Vie nails, got a design, gradient and holo butterflies for $50 and I got a basic shape and color for $60 here.On top of it all, they were rude a pushy.I saw a girl come in while I was getting my nails done, upset that her nails she gotten done there less than a week ago had broken, they said they had to charge her to fix it? That made me feel great knowing I was currently getting mine done, Im already paying $60 for bare minimum.. if they break I will be furious.To end it all off, my guy used what was left of an opened sample pack of lotion on me. He laid it on my arm then squeezed it out. I dont know, I just felt gross after that...Their prices went up but their quality didntchange at all, if anything it went down, I left with acrylic all over my hands and finger tips..Last time I came here I got an infection from their pedicure.Would definitely not come back, La Vie or Cobe nails in walmart are better and cheaper.
I made an appointment using their online booking tool for 1:30 yesterday, I made the appointment 3 hours beforehand and got a confirmation text about 15 minutes later that the salon had accepted my reservation.I arrived 5 minutes early because this was my first time using this salon and I wanted to be sure I wasnt late. When I walked in a woman asked what I needed and I said I have an appointment at 1:30 for dip nails and she told me they didnt have time for me and to come back over an hour later. I reminded her that I had a reservation so I was confused why it was an issue and she said oh we just say yes to all the reservations that doesnt mean you have oneWhat is the point of using a reservation service if you dont honor reservations? This could be a great shop, but I will not spend my money there because I felt really disrespected both by how the woman acted as if she didnt even have time to speak to me about my reservation, and disrespected that I honored our time agreement and drove across town just to be rudely told to come back over an hour later.I would not recommend trying to make an appointment online, better off trying somewhere else like I ended up doing.
Update on my review: I got an infection in both of my big toes right after a pedicure here. My big toe on my right toe bled a lot after a ingrown was pulled out. I didnt think much, then then 2 days later it was infected and hurt pretty bad.. it isnt fully healed yet, but may not translate well on camera. I didnt change anything else so I know that the cause was the pedicure.. The nails were great though!
I came In without an appointment and Holly did my nails personally past closed. She really cares and knows what shes doing. The first time I got my nails done was when I was 14 by her and she still is the best. (Im 22 now by the way). Thank you Holly!!❤
Went to another place that I didnt care for. So decided to check out Hollys and fell in love. The massage I got was with the pedicure was awesome. Very friendly
I waited a long time but my experience was great and holly really spoiled me with the nails I am in love with them. She was so nice even though I was a bit difficult 😅 and she made me feel right at home and welcome.
Holly was awesome! My Fiancee and I will be back!
I went in for a fill. I usually dont go here and Ive only been here one time before this. I was the first customer in the shop but 3 other people got helped before me. First they couldnt do what I wanted done so I just picked out a gel color. The man that did my nails was really nice. But the woman next to him was kinda rude. Two days and $45 later 2 nails are broken off & one bleeding from the break off. I feel like I wasted my money. My daughter also got her nails painted with gel and the next day 3 of her fingers had no polish on them. Sad experience. I wont be coming back here again. The salon is really pretty and clean though.
Holly was so nice and she really cares about her customers. She made my nails exactly like the picture I showed her! I will definitely be coming back.
I have used them the entire time I have been at OU and absolutely love them! They are very careful, thorough and have good attention to detail. They are cheaper than several of the salons in Norman and the quality is much higher as well. A little bit on the slower side, but only because they make sure services are done well! Would definitely recommend them to anyone!
My experience was great, holly took care of me herself I love her awesome bubbly attitude. Any issues I had she fixed my nails look perfect!!
Found this place by accident last time I was in Oklahoma. Now it’s my sister’s and my go to spot for pedicures. Next time I’m going to have them double check my sister’s toes though because mine are always perfect but hers are always a little off.
Everyone is soooo nice definitely coming back!!!
I met the owner HERSELF and she was fabulous! And kind and professional, Fun to chat with and very personable and she did an amazing job on my nails!
I love the service here. Everybody is super friendly. The energy is immaculate. Would totally recommend my friends.
I was out of town and looked up nail salons nearby and found Hollys place. Nails by Holly did a fabulous job with NO wait time! Highly recommend!
Very kind and awesome! They were quick too!
Friendly and funny. They gave my friend a discount for her birthday, and did. A great job on our collagen pedicures.
Service was so so good and my nails are literally so perfect. i will be coming back.
I love my nails would definitely go again
I love love love coming here no matter who is doing my nails they always turn out amazing 😍😍 definitely recommend
I recently moved to Norman and have been looking for a place to get my nails done. I went to Jodi and absolutely loved the work she did! She does so well on the shape and is so kind!. I’ve already made another appointment to see her for my fill! :)
Jodie and Chris are amazing nail specialists and take pride in their service they provide. I never leave unhappy when they are doing my nails or toes!!
I love how pampered I feel leaving here! Jodi does a fantastic job and works very hard! I always look forward to my appointment with her.
Holly did and amazing job with my nails and eyelashes!! Will definitely go back!!
My adult daughter and I both got manicures and pedicures. They were careful and did a great job on both of our nails. We enjoyed the pampering they gave us.🥰
They were very friendly and professional, I have never been to a better place. 10/10 will go again
I love my nails, and everyone who works there is so nice!
This was my first time here. Service was great. Loved that you can make an appointment on line. I will be back.
Girlfriend got some nails done there and they look good
Always a great experience and beautiful nails
I wouldn’t give this place one star if i didn’t have too to leave a post. The owner of this place is mean and doesn’t care if she is rude to others. I was hoping this was a good place to go to but instead i drive 47 miles to mustang to get my nails done rather than go here.
Brian was absolutely amazing! He did a perfect on the nails and was super quick as well! Going to ask for him every time.
Super friendly and helpful. We were walk ins my two young daughters and my Mother. Got us right in.
Super friendly staff. I will definitely be back!! Jody and Jackie are be very professional making sure I was getting. What I was wanting!
Holly did an exceptional job. She was so nice and friendly and fun. Looking forward to going back for a pedi.
Very clean and nice and professional. Looking for a nail salon since I moved and I will be back
Holly and her staff are the best— so personable, sweet, and knowledgeable! I will never go to any other nail salon in Norman
Very nice and welcoming peiple!
For the guys reading this thinking this is a great idea for the girl, let me tell you there is nothing like getting your feet, rubbed, scrubbed, and all that freaky lotion stuff put on. Doing this with your girl is guaranteed to get all those extra bonus points youve been looking for.This place did a greay job. Staff was very friendly and funny. They do serve wine and sodas.
Great pedicures and service, and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Love it!!!!
I got a fill and gel polished done it was a good visit and he was very great. I will be coming back in 2 weeks 😘
This place was awesome beautiful work awesome customer service skills. They know how to treat their customers.
I went here for the first time yesterday I got my nails done by Holli she did an amazing job. I will defenetly be going back.
Not good they Push pedicures
I’ve been going here for over a year, and there just fantastic. I book With Jody . I love Her so much, not only is she the best at what she does but she’s fast and no matter what’s going on, she pays super close to ever little detail to make your nails exactly how they should be. I usually do not do reviews but she is so good, people need to know !
Super awesome experience!! Super friendly staff!! Will definitely be back!!
I have been coming to Nails by Holly for over 3 years now! I have never ever left this shop disappointed. I get a pedicure by Jackie every single time and she does an amazing job. Just recently, I came into the shop with my sisters and they were short staffed, the owner Ms. Holly stayed over an hour after close to finish my sisters nails. She took her time and did not rush or do a sloppy job even tho it was obvious she was beat. I 100% recommend this shop. They are nice, well priced and talented staff!
I got dip on my hands and a pedicure with color on my feet. I got my pedicure done by Phillip and he was very prompt and the quality was great. I got my dip done by Nancy and she was very fun and upbeat. They take care of you very well and you won’t regret coming in! Also, the prices are not bad at all.
Holly at Nails by Holly is the best place to go! With everything going on in the world today with closures, we had scheduled appointments with her before the closures started happening and she still stayed open for us to get in.. not only was she was the only one here she had the greatest attitude and very friendly. Especially for her deluxe package she does a lot for that package that not any other nail places I’ve known to do!! I will definitely recommend her and will always go to her for now on! Thank you Holly for doing business with us! ❤️
I got the deluxe pedicure. It was great she didnt rush through. Really clean good vibe store. Masks are required.
Amazing service and friendly staff. Also the prices are great. Best place in Norman. I recommend all my friends to go here!
I have been going to this nail salon for 3 years. However, today will be my last day. I received terrible service and a subpar job with the coat on my nails. Ultimately if you want your nails to end up looking like the picture below, then I would recommend going here. My skin is peeling off because the nail technician made me leave my hand in the acetone for too long because she left me to work on someone elses nails for 45 minutes. However, when another girl came in, she immediately was able to get her nails done. I used to have a great experience here, until now. Im sad because I have never had a problem here for three years, until now. I guess its time to look for a new nail salon.
This place is super clean and everyone was friendly. I went in for a basic manicure. Unfortunately when I got out to my car I realized the polish had dried bumpy and my nails were filed unevenly. I wouldve gone back in but they were close to closing and I didnt want to bother them. Ill try again and hopefully have better results.
I saw Nancy for a gel manicure. She is very detailed, precise and friendly. She took her time with me and did an outstanding job. I Have been looking for a great nail technician and I found her here. I highly recommend Nancy!
Hands down (pun intended) one of my favorite Nail Salons. I have been off and on for years and have had the pleasure of being entertained by Holly. The team makes you feel like family. Chris has beautified my hands by adding length to my natural nail and making them healthy. They are worth a try if youre are looking for quality nails, a great pedicure, waxing, or lashes. Love these people
Why do we all go to a salon... for some much needed relaxation and spoil. Right?! Not so much here. Firstly I was a walk in client, enquire about availability and was asked to please go wash my hands and then to shown to a seat. No fault with this. Then after they started with my nails I was told to not come next time as they only accept appointments. Funny as there is NO NOTICE up stating appointments required. Had they said that UPFRONT I would have made an appointment and left while my husband was still waiting in the parking lot for me. Time is vital to us, as for the last 2 weeks the average hours we worked was between 18 and 20. Yes you read that correctly. A good at is up at 7 am and in bed by 2 am. This was my change to go relax. To get away from everything. The only thing they made me feel was like something the cat dragged in. Uncomfortable and on edge. The problem is Im so agitated at at 1 am tonight Im going to think of the wasted hour writing this review and how this place made me feel. UNWELCOME......!!!!!!Then ohhhh the dreaded mask. I have asthma, struggle to breath and claustrophobic... great combination to get the heart rate up with and making it even more difficult to breath. A couple times I took it off was once to eat a snack to calm me and second to take a call for a few minutes to arrange my transportation as my husband left because hey... you are not supposed to be acting like jerks!!!! And both times very rudely interrupted to put the mask on. So bottom of the story. If you want to be treated like something the cat dragged in... go for it. The cherry on top.. Im actually a qualified nail tech and paying $46 for a dip on SHORT nails is somewhat excessive dont you think....?!
They were really good and gentle. Offered us drinks and made me happy by chatting and keeping me entertained.
Staff is always very kind and welcoming, but Holly is amazing. She takes care of all her customers and really goes above and beyond to help make your experience great. She is also very mindful about peoples belongings. She held on to my property for 3 months without knowing it belonged to me and in random conversation managed to find out that I had been missing my watch. She returned it to me that day and told me this is a regular practice of hers which really reassures me that this salon is the best place for me to be. Not to mention that she always does an excellent job on my nails. They are always well done and my dip lasts for a month!
Just finished getting a full set and it looks amazing! Great service, very fast and friendly! I have been looking for a nail place and I definitely just found it!
I love my nails. It is super cute!! The employees were super nice. You can tell they have fun at work. They joke with each other giving a great atmosphere.
Horrible cant do dip services. Would not recommend to anyone. Only go here if you want to horrid experience and not receive a service.
I had really liked this place. I had not been in a while. Then I received a text inviting me to come back. It stated buy one get one free pedicure. So I called the number on the text to book an appointment I was told that coupon was not valid on weekend. So when I called back on Monday to book appointment I was told that it was for the deluxe pedicure only and you had to buy one at $36 and then get the second pedicure for $26 so it’s actually a buy one get one $10 off. Not at all what the message says. When I tell them that is not what the text says I was told to go some where else if I didn’t like it. I just wanted the buy one get one free that they offered me. But instead I am looking for a new nail salon! Definitely do not recommend
Nails by Holly is the best! Their service is professional, relaxing, and unique to every need. I come by regularly and usually get a nice, relaxing Deluxe Pedicure, or get beautiful acrylic nails. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for these services because the staff at Nails by Holly are both friendly and very good at their jobs. Would recommend.
I am onvaca from KC and had a party of 3 for pedis and fills. They took us right in and got right to it. Service was amazing and exactly what I needed. Clean and welcoming atmosphere. Excellent customer service. Thank you for experience.
I saw Sarah today and had such a good experience. She is so sweet and did a really great job. I’m looking forward to coming back to take advantage of their buy 1 get 1 free basic pedicure offer next month!
I usually dont leave bad reviews but I had the most frustrating experience here. I came in around 5:45 and ended up waiting at least an hour to be seen. Thats pretty understandable since it was a Friday and I dont mind being patient. However when it was finally my turn i was told I had picked a color from the powder colors when I should have chosen gel. My nails were powder and I intended to stay with that. I tried to explain this to the man helping me but he insisted my nails were gel. I chose from the gel selection assuming he knew something I didnt. When I sat down he realized my nails were powder. I suggested we do the powder color I chose. He said no and that I was getting a gel manicure. I asked could I not please have powder as I requested when signing in. He said we didnt have time. I was incredibly frustrated but I gave him the benefit of the doubt because at this point all salons were going to be closed and I really needed my nails done. After a day and a half my thumb nail has chipped. Not only did I get a gel manicure that I didnt want but a bad one! I just dont understand the point of me checking in and telling them what I need done if theyre going to tell me I cant have that after an hour of waiting. Next time please tell me upfront so I can go somewhere else and save my time and money.
Worked with our schedule for 4 people!
This the place to get your nails done. Ask 4 hollie she does the best on any service
I love the way my nails turn out every time I go! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming of myself and my son that comes with me. I’ve never had the same technician but every one I have had has done an amazing job! I’m always satisfied!
This place is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend them! They are very friendly and they do the best job ever!!
Staff is rude.... I went in and was there before 3 other people and staff seen them first. My name was first on sign in sheet. Never will go back and I recommend that people go to Nails by Joe off of West Main Street instead the staff there is more friendly and they see you right away they dont pick and choose who they want to Service First. I do not recommend this establishment to anyone
I went in for a dip manicure and it was fine until the end, when the nail tech put the top coat on too heavy. He told me they were dry and they werent so when they smudged I asked him to fix it. He was very aggressive and obviously angry that I asked him to fix them. He just put another, thicker top coat on and they smudged again while I was paying. I showed him again and instead of taking it off and redoing the top coat, he put a gel top coat on two of the, and had me cure it under UV. Now, one of my nails is completely smudged and two of them have gel top coat and feel totally different. I payed way too much for this awful experience. Disappointed.It’s now 6 days after my experience here and because of unclean tools and aggressive manicuring, I have an infection on one of my nails. DO NOT GO HERE!!! ABSOLUTELY GROSS, OVERPRICED, AND AWFUL!!!
Best nail salon in Norman I just love Holly and all of the staff wouldn’t trade them for another nail salon ever.
Holly was amazing! I FIRST looked at the reviews on Google and Yelp and they were great! I stopped by the day that I wanted an appointment and set it up for later that afternoon and she got me in! With no wait!! She also gave me a paraffin wax that left my hands feeling GREAT! I would encourage you to schedule an appointment with HOLLY as she was amazing!
My most favorite place to pamper myself! Needed this pedicure more than you could know!
Holly and her team always do an amazing job. Their professionalism is spot on and they also have a great rewards program. I have been going to Holly with my family for over 8 years. I definitely recommend!
Clean, professional and friendly salon with spa ambiance. Holly and her staff have not only provided me with top notch nail beautifying service but also great healthy nail care. I can always rely on receiving the latest techniques, colors etc. Which often leads to me being asked where did you get your nails done? Highly recommended!!!
I usually love this place. Holly does an amazing job on acrylic nails. I just recently had my first negative experience. I was really disappointed because it is hard to find a good nail place. My friend and I made an appointment to come in for pedicures a few days in advance. We were called a few hours before the appointment and told that our appointment needed to be moved up an hour because they got an appointment for a larger party that wanted to get their toes done. I thought, okay, not the end of the world - I had made other plans but we could probably make it. We arrive at our appointment at the newly assigned time. They were rather pushy about the special they were running - but we just wanted regular pedicures (that seemed to be inconvenient). We were told to sit and wait (which I dislike because I already had to move my plans around to come in an hour earlier than my appointment) Eventually we were told we could sit in some massage chairs on the side to wait instead. I got up to sit where it was indicated that I should be sitting and there were dirty towels on the chair and rolled up used paper towels. I decided to keep waiting in the waiting area. After a while of waiting we figured we would just go across the street to the other nail salon to get quicker and more relaxing service. (which was actually really nice and the people were funny and laid back) Holly - I think you are an awesome business owner but this experience was below what I usually receive. When I go to get a pedicure I want a laid back environment (not people frantically trying to rush through the pedicures) and staff that is calm and welcoming. My life is very busy and hectic. My pedicure should not be. Thank you for reading.
Ive been coming here every 2-3 weeks for the past 2 years. I am always satisfied with my results and love the atmosphere. The staff is always friendly and helpful. My nails always look excellent!
Perfect nails my first time, nails are clean, perfect shape, exactly what I asked for! Holly is very sweet and makes good use of time!
Jodi did an amazing job on my nails and was super friendly.
