Skip the bad reviews, this place is what it is because of the staff needed, the owner is the best person youll ever want to meet in this profession.The girl who did my pedicure (dark hair Asian female with a ponytail) did a bad job, the owner stepped in and fixed it, she was very attentive to what I wanted and and explained that she needed more staff. The place does need an upgrade, especially massage chairs, you have to walk up two small flights of stairs, its cool in there so that helps, and they offer drinks if you ask.Overall, I wish the owner was not underrepresented because of the one staff that Im sure is hurting the places reviews...I love yellow for summer nails, and these say...happy!!!

I enjoy coming here the atmosphere is amazing, calm cool and collective .. Jen is personally my go to m my first time coming here she was fast efficient and effective . All a while standing up doing my nails which I think is a skill. They can accommodate you any way . 💖💘 You wont be disappointed .

Linda and her team were wonderful!! She opened early for my daughters and I to get mani/pedis…part of our weekend bachelorette festivities! Excellent service, very attentive, and great communication with texts reminders and a call to ensure we knew their location. We will be back next time we are in the city and highly recommend!

They do not have consistent pricing if you are not a regular customer (the people sitting beside my girlfriend paid less for the same service and acknowledged that this happens). They also charge $5-$10 more if you pay with a credit card and not cash. Additionally, my girlfriend had some of her nails painted and re-painted 3-4 times because they could not manage the design.

Super efficient - these ladies work quickly and well. Ive never been unsatisfied by their work. This last visit was a last minute decision and they took me without an appointment. I had my Mani and Pedi done simultaneously and everything looked and felt great.

My BFF takes me here and for the 1 time I got my hands DID .. lol only because I tend to have an addiction to BITE MY FINGERS 🤔😔

It was the worst experience. The nail tech did my feet good, but I didnt let them do my nails. She was rushing and not listening to what I said I wanted.

This place is in a very upscale part of town, and definitely not upscale, just saying

The young woman who did my nails was Absolutely Positively so sweet & wonderful & everyone all staff hadMask & Shieldon all clients had mask on plus they have a High Shield between Staff & Client while doing your Nails - just wonderful

By far the absolute worst nail salon experience i’ve ever had in my entire life. do not go here.

I almost can’t fully comprehend the terrible experience and service I just received here. Yesterday, my friend waited about 45+ minutes before we were assisted. Once we were helped, we felt unbelievably rushed. The technicians and manager would get up intermittently and work on other customers or perform waxing. The technician doing my pedi chopped my toe nails are uneven angles. I was getting my finger nails done as well and a technician began chiseling and hand filing the existing gel off with a metal cuticle tool. She was hitting my skin around the nail with the file so it became red and irritated. The manager asked if I wanted my nails round or square. I said round. She filed them square all the way down to my nail bed. After failing to successfully convey that this was not what I wanted, I told her she didn’t have to file them, but she still did. Then this morning, after spending 2.5+ hours there, my friend and I were so happy to have left, because it was not at all relaxing — it was rushed and uncomfortable. Last night, I noticed my nails tips were turning green (my polish was white) -- see attached pics. I asked a license cosmologist, and she said that this would happen if the nail tips had been filed AFTER the gel top coat was applied (the UV barrier would have been compromised and the gel color would absorb UV and become discolored). The manager HAD filed my nail tips after the gel was set — so this was the cause. I went back to the salon and the manager insisted that I had gotten them “dirty” and she would file them down and repair them. The manager filed the top layer (spottily) off. I told her I didn’t think the discoloration was a fault of mine and that I felt that the rushed service may have been the cause. Now, she insisted that the brand OPI has changed this color and that’s why it was like this. I told her this is the only color I get so I don’t believe that to be true. She used every excuse she could. I then just said that I’d be fine with a refund, and she pointed to a hand-written “no refunds” sign. I said, “Okay then, you can keep my money this time, but won’t be coming back and I’ll be spending my money and time elsewhere” and I walked out. I think the real issue with this place is the management — if that were to change, perhaps so would the overall experience. There were a bunch of littler events that took place, however I did not have enough character space to explain them. I absolutely do not recommend this place. It would be one thing if it was inexpensive, but it’s not.

I’ve been here maybe 5 times in the last 4 years. The service is always great. My gel polish chips every time though within days.

I called to ask if they knew how to do marble nail art. The woman who answered said that she knew how to do anything. They didn’t. I had to tell them that I did not like them and to just give me a basic mani, which look a mess. Nails were filed slanted and she encapsulated dust into my gel nails. Terrible. Poorly lit as well. Not sure how this shop is still in business in center city.

They did a beautiful job putting gaol French manicure on my natural nails

It was fabulous, I lost my job and needed an immediate Pick Me Up. A frm co wrkr suggested this place. I walked up a few flights of stairs for a great experience. I received a pedicure, manicure & my brows were shaped. I choose white cause that is a hard color to do it yourself. The staff was professional, polite & welcoming. I left feeling slightly better & looking fabulous.

So this has been a go-to of mine for years now! Linda is the owner and she always makes people feel very welcomed! This is one of the best places in center city for nail services. The place is always clean, Nail colors are endless, the girls are quick but thorough and they even offer 5 dollars off once you get to a certain number of collected stamps on your nail Card! I have to warn you, this place is usually pretty busy, but if it weren’t who would want to go anyway?! they move really quickly and always have a good amount of staff on hand. So Go, get a mani/pedi, or a full set, or SNS “dip powder”, And while you’re there relaxing, Having some well needed “me” time enjoy a glass or two of complimentary wine! cheers! XO

The best service came in with my sister a few times and was well taken care of

I really love the place. All the technicians I had are super friendly and professional. Also, the price is really good for the area

Amazing color selection and great staff 🔥

I enjoyed the service I got mani padi, brows and lashes the next day as I was washing my face the lash came off of the corner of the eye I was not happy but I could deal they did my brows on point and my mani padi wasn’t bad but they filed my nails down to low causing my finger to swell and hurt terribly. I’ll go back for my brows though.

I literally went here on Saturday for an acrylic gel full set and pedicure. My nails are lifting and my acrylic toe fell off on the same day. Not worth $110 AT ALL.

Your nails dont last at least two weeks.

I walked in and they were able to take me right away. They were super friendly. I was really impressed with the manicure. It was the best manicure that I have had since I can remember. My nails looked so good - they did not even look like mine. The pedicure was good too. If you are in a rush, this place is great - in and out quickly.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE. Woke up the following day to my polish bubbling and chipping off. WASTE OF MONEY!! DO NOT GO

Love this place always good company n they treat u good

These ladies are fantastic! They are always so nice and do a really good job. I only ever get a basic manicure, but it is always a great experience.

Went here on my birthday weekend with a few friends. My pedicure was nothing special, I felt like I paid them to simply wash my feet. I was so disappointed I didnt even bother painting my toe nails. One friends gel manicure was so thick it began to chip immediately and my other friend had polish all around her cuticles.

Got nails done from them they were awesome an good service as well

Best nail salon in Center City- great (overwhelming) selection of colors! Amazing staff- friendly, efficient with beautiful results! Well priced and they stand by their work- complimentary touch ups if the polish chips within a week, which Ive only had happen once (Ive been going on a semi regular basis for almost a year) and it was because I was harsh on the nail. Highly recommend.

Pretty subpar pedicure and the stone massage was about 30 seconds. Spend the extra $10 at a different salon for much better service. Also, the “strong gel” manicure wasn’t so... strong. See attached

Little rinky dink when you get buzzed in, but the customer service during MY VISIT was great. I was offered wine which I had never been before at a nail salon. I was seated and helped immediately by Maly. She was thorough and very professional doing my gel manicure which was nicely priced. Very competitive at $25

I decided to give this place a try since its in the area of where I work. I called and made an appointment for 5:30p. I arrived and stated that I had an appointment for that time and the woman looked at me like she was either confused or unaware. She then proceeded to start my full set. Shortly after I arrived more people started coming in. Next thing someone else started doing my nails and then I got bounced on to another person. Why does it take 3 people to do a full set? The job was rushed by the woman who applied the acrylic although it took two hours to complete. I am not happy, and will not be returning.

This place fit me & my fiancé in last minute! Went the extra mile to make sure my nails & toes were perfect! Jeany did my nails & I must say I will be returning bsck every other week for my maintenance on my nails & toes! Definitely worth going to center city from south philly! All & all the best nail spa experience I’ve ever had! Thank you all! From Nicole Grimes ❤️

Theyre so efficient, friendly, and their services are reasonably priced! Ive been going to them for a couple of years despite having several salons I have near me.

I refuse to go anywhere else! I go in with a prechosen color, and they ALWAYS have what I need! When I moved to Philadelphia, I had a hard time finding a good nail salon that respected me and cared about my natural nails. They really do the job! I have since moved about an hour and a half from the location (New Jersey) and I refuse to go anywhere else. I will be making the commute anytime I need my nails done.I also always get gel and they can last me 3.5 weeks and more.

Friendly staff, efficient, skilled. Great choices of colors and techniques. Sister of manager owns hair salon downstairs - lovely family. You get $5 off services for paying cash. If you get a gel manicure, remember the number -- if it chips within a week, theyll redo the nail for free.

I definitely felt rushed!!I have dropped my rating down to one star! My nails are already chipping and they look like I had them painted at least 3 weeks ago. I paid 55 dollars in total not including tip. for a cheap jell manicure and pedicure! I’m so annoyed! I will never and I mean never go back! It’s a shame because I think they were nice however they did a terrible job with my nails!

I love this nail salon! They do wonderful and beautiful nail work...consistently and with very friendly service. Prices here are higher than other nail salons but I believe it is worth it.

Horrible service and unprofessional. You would think they’d have a little more class being that they’re located downtown next to many upscale businesses. They cater to “certain” people, I wouldn’t waste a dime here ever again.

It was a really great salon I just feel like they rush an hurry an try to get you done because they have a lot of people and not enough staff they rushed through my manicure and my nails are not right

This place is better than most around the Rittenhouse Square area. Its somewhat hard to find at first; its on the second floor. The best thing about this place is not the great and affordable price nor the view within, its really the people who work; nicest people I ever met at a nail salon. They know manners and customer service.I recommend this place to anyone!

Love it l always come the workers are always pleasant and friendly and the owner and her husband are great nice atmosphere ..l highly recommend especially the green tea nail spa the massage is amazing and your feet feels like butter so smooth and the complimentary wine !!!!

Ma fiance liked the nails they just expensive as hell

Everyone was welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Even though we were there past closing they took their time to make sure my nails were perfect

Great people running the shop. Very quick and efficient and relaxing experience every time Im there!

My nails are uneven and slanted

Ive visited this salon 2 times and liked my first experience which was a pedicure. However, after my second visit, I left disappointed and will not be returning to the Nail Spa Bar.Reason 1.I wanted a fill to my acrylic overlay. My nail tech must not have been experienced because when filling down my old acrylic, the tech next to her was telling her not to do something and the only word I could understand was FUNGUS! I asked the experienced tech if there was something wrong with my nails and she explained that she shouldnt be putting nail glue at the seam of my old acrylic before applying the refill.Reason 2.An older woman applied my refill powder for my inexperienced nail tech. I should have know this wasnt going to end well!Reason 3.I asked for a touch up on coffin shape since my nails were already in that style from my last fill. She made them completely uneven and some of my nails turned out more round that tapered. I asked her a few times to even them out. She couldnt tell that they were asymmetric and one corner of my nail was drastically higher than the other.Reason 4.After removing my polish 2 weeks later.... there is FUNGUS on my left middle finger!I am beyond disgusted!

I called and made a reservation for two, it was very busy. Price was good 30 for mani/pedi. We waited and were seated for pedis, I had to ask for a plastic basin covering, and the person who painted my nails did almost as well as my 4 year old cousin would have. Someone else had to repaint a few toes. The reviews of the hot stone massage lasting 10 seconds was not far off, mine was 8 seconds. I probably wouldn’t come back on a Friday.

Great service. Got an acrilyic refill for $20 and the service was excellent. I prefer the concept of a bar rather then sitting at those little tables. And the free drink Makes it even better!

Got a cheap but absolutely awful pedicure here. Not only did they cut my toe, but my nails were also filed CROOKED and looked disgusting. Not to mention the very poor exfoliation job. I could have done a way better job just painting my nails at home.

Linda is awesome! She is so good at what she does, and kind, and always keeping track of a million things at once. There are many staff here, all of whom work tirelessly. Pay them respect - it is awful to ever witness a customer being rude to anyone working here.

I wouldnt recommend this place whatsoever. They completely ruined my nails when they were supposed to be doing a SNS nail (which is supposed to be a healthy alternative to acrylic or traditional gel) and it was a very sloppy job. Multiple people were doing my nails, which was also pretty annoying. Theyre not professional and ultimately, they do not do a good job. Plenty of other places in the city!

Linda is amazing! Not only did she stay late after hours to complete my mani and pedi, she also used the dip powder as a courtesy! The complimentary wine is a nice perk too. My fav nail salon in the city. The prices are worth it! Quality products, her gel manicures last for 3 weeks!!

These are my nails 3h after I left the nail spa bar. I made sure my nails were dried before I left, but the girl did not put a lot of effort in them I guess. Im not going again and I wouldnt recommend this place.

Got a full set and they lasted 2 weeks, 7 bartending shifts, and laundry before I needed a fill. Lots of color selection.

Great prices, cheaper if you pay with cash. No tips on cc. Nails look fab.

Good nail salon. Good for the price and excellent massage.

So me and a friend of mine recently decided to try something new and go get our nails done in the city, and I had came across this place on Google so we decided to check it out. Upon arriving at the salon we were greeted kindly and asked if we would like to have complimentary drinks as we were seated for pedicures. They didnt turn on the massage part of the chair, they didnt treat us both equally & they kept switching between different people. But that wasnt the worst part! I also got a refill and they used a completely different method by dipping the nail into the acrylic instead of using s brush and they did not shape them correctly at all! After being there for about 3 hours I couldnt stand it anymore I was paying well over the price of the average mani& refill that I would pay at my usual salon, the service sucked. I didnt even end up painting my nails, left them clear. Point is I would not recommend this to ANYONE. worst experience Ive ever had at a nail salon!

This is a conveniently located & pleasant nail salon. They do mani/pedis simultaneously so its pretty efficient. All the services come with a free drink (water or wine). The people there were all really nice. They accept cards but add a 5 dollar fee so its best to bring cash (no tip allowed on card as well).

Where to start.. they are always very friendly, their work they do on your nails last. The prices are more than a typical nail salon, but in my opinion worth it.

Place and their work is very wonderful, workers are very friendly and caring for the customers. Best experience and nails spa bar I had ever.

Great and friendly service. Gel manicure lasts and they will fix if it gets messed up within first to weeks. Best mani pedi I have had in center city for best price. You also get a complementary drink!

Came in April 9th with the intentions of getting a regular manicure, got talked into doing a gel manicure, was told my polish would last 3-4 weeks.. polish is bubbly, coming up & peeling exactly a week later. Unhappy & very disappointed.. wouldn’t recommend to anyone nor will I come back to this salon. 👎🏼

TERRIBLE ! Two nails literally POPPED off as I picked up laundry 4 days after my nails got done. On top of the 8 clumpy layers of polish they slapped on my nails . Tbh youre better off doing them yourself than going there as far as acrylic sets . The nails that are still hanging on for dear life are budges of acrylic placed directly on my cuticles . A total of 3 girls worked on my nails my first visit because no one can do a full simple acrylic set .(Update: 2 more nails came off so I easily popped the rest of them off.. $30 for a weeks wear of trash.. Yes the picture shows my nails after 6 days)

This place is horrible. I walked out after i asked the nails tech to take off the polish of 3 nails. I asked for square acrylic nails, told her multiple times that i wasn’t happy with the shape. She tried to fix it but never asked me once during the process if it was better she just made my square acrylic nails look beyond ridiculous. I have been getting my nails done in Chicago for years and thought coming to Philly I would find a new place. Please avoid at all cost. I couldn’t sit through a full set without cringing the entire time.

Excellent. The biggest color selection Ive seen and youre served your choice of one free drink. Staff is nice and friendly too.

Me and my friend called and asked how much for acrylic full set they said 25 and then when I asked for gel they said it was 25 because we were new it was are first time and we get there they do everything they switched through people yes they did give drinks and a good back massage but they didnt do my friends nails right they dipped them in the powder and didnt use a brush they then after we got them done told my friend her was 55 and mine was 45 after we had already got them done and they told us it was 25. Never again

If I could give them 0 stars I would!worst nail salon ever !!!The guy who did my pedicure was so sick kept wiping his nose with his hand and touching me, did not clean properly, was more focused on the TV and had an attitude. There was no organization in there whatsoever I had about three different people working on me. My nails came out HORRIBLE and thick not to mention has a dent in it. The place is dirty, Dusty, reuse tools, I was in there for almost three hours for a simple full set and pedicure ! Then when it came to pay they charge you extra to pay with a card!!! When my services were already $75!!! When I made the lady aware it was illegal she tried to make it seem like she was doing me a favor. I Will NEVER RETURN

First time here and probably wont be going back. Staff was super nice although they take too many costumers than they can handle . The young lady rushed my gel acrylic so bad that it was so terribly shaped and super thick .. They failed to properly cut my cuticles before the start of the manicure and There were a ton of bubbles in it too. I had to go back and they were kind of enough to fix it but it took so long. It would have saved them so much time if they would have given the proper precision and attention to detail from the start . IMG_2830.jpeg dont come here for acrylic especially when they are busy. it was a sloppy job with clumps of nail polish under the nail and everything 😭

Consistent gel work. Very friendly and attentive staff.

Unfortunately have had multiple bad experiences here. They go so quick and are not detailed or thorough. They don’t give massages as a part of the mani or pedi, and barely put any lotion on. They lightly scrubbed the bottom of my feet as a part of the pedi, when it definitely could have used more. My nails chipped within a few hours of leaving. The lady I had disappeared and made a big deal about having to come back to do my mani after my pedi. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Love it they serve you wine and they are so nice

Called before to make sure they had time for me so I didn’t have to wait. They said come in now. Walkins got their nails done before me as I was waiting in the pedicure chair with one woman saying she’d be right over to me for 20 minutes. Disorganized and then they rushed through my nails. Disappointing

The worst mani pedi I’ve ever gotten. The staff were super nice but it’s the jankiest paint job ever. The woman who did my toes didn’t cut my cuticles, didn’t cut my nails straight, and basically painted all over my toes. It was as if she was pretending to do it and literally had never painted nails before. The one doing my fingernails also painted all over my fingers and I had to get nail polish remover and clean them up myself. Wouldn’t recommend at all

Best quick and cheap place to get a gel manicure. They are very fast and detailed.

They overcharge . They charge 30$ for a polish change and 35 for a pedicure. Would not recommend this place for anyone . The service is rude . Except the woman Maly . They are horribly unorganized and rushed. It was a horrible experience. Usually places charge 8-15 $ for toe polish change . And usually 20-25 for pedicure . Do not go here ! I would not make this up . My nails were not worth the extra payment . I will not be returning, they require ID for payment via card, and charge an extra 5$ on top of the original unreasonable payment . NEVER AGAIN . The nail salon is hidden in an upstairs apartment kind of place . You have to ring a bell to get in . I would not go back . Also, they are supposed to close at 7:30 pm they turned the lights out and forced us to pay at 7:00 pm saying they were closed.

I got gel polish and something was wrong with the polish... the polish dryed on the outside but never dryed in the middle so my polish was very lumpy and I told the lady and someone fixed a few nails but when i left they just turned lumpy again and two days later the top peeled off and the polish was still wet... never again 👎👎👎

I went here and got a full set acrylic nails for the first time, and they didnt even clean my hands or my fingers before they put the tips on like they are supposed to do. They are also over priced and dont deserve any customers business. I am entirely mad and also my one nail is cracking and i havent even had these acrylics for a week yet

Nice atmosphere, they give good massages and hot stone massages.

They did a TERRIBLE job. Dont go there, they are not good.

Highly disappointed and will not be going back at all. Did not shape my nails properly, overpriced for a refill and kept switching nail techs. Also the manicure chairs are extremely uncomfortable. I would not recommend at all

Worst experience Ive ever had. The woman were all rushed throwing me back and forth between people. 4 different people did my nails and 3 did my toes. I am not going to tip 7 people. There was no leg or arm message, the towels were hot and burnt my hands, and to top it all off they charge more if you pay with card. Glad Im from out of state visiting because I will never go here again.

They was great and very friendly... Ill be going back...! I work with Lind and Momm...❤️

OMG would recommend anyone to go here gel mani looked great,pedi looks great still two weeks later

Just a little disappointed that their website and advertisement on the window says open @ 11 on Sunday’s however, it is 11:30 and the only thing that came to work this day was the “Central Nails” sign...I have been coming to this place for years. Just a little ticked off with the false advertisement. That’s all.

My nails started chipping in a week and they are gel otherwise great experience but a little pricey for chipping gel 😂

Ive been going to Nail Spa and Bar for a little over 2 years now and Ive got to say this is my favorite Nail Salon in Philly. All the technicians including the owner treat their customers with care and make sure you leave with the service you expected. Ive even tried out Sunny Nails (on bouvier and Cecil B.Moore) a couple of times and on the last encounter left because the owner wanted me to pay for the service and told me that people like me steal (I have her on video saying this).If you are looking for a place to try go to Nail Spa and Bar and you will sure be back.

Friendly and quick service and took many walk ins, including myself, while I was there. Gel manicure was average, but nothing bad to say about this place.

They ruined my natural nails by using a drill file to remove my gel polish!.... never going back again.

Gel polish didnt even last one week. Waste of money and time

Awesome service!!! Love my nails !

Great service! Free glass of wine!

Received an excellent pedicure.

This place isnt good at all got a gel manicure and it wasnt nice or neat

Absolutely horrible I waited two hour to have Three different girls do my simple arcrylic full set and two nails broke within a day and a half of having them and I was doing nothing but looking through DVDs. Paid $30, for hardly even a week of having these nails absolutely ridiculous

Open on sundays till 4pm.

Always friendly atmosphere

Friendly staff. In and out in no time.

Nice attention

If i can give a negative review of -10 stars i would my mom has been in the hospital 3 days now from swollen shut eyes due to the eye lash extensions there, i called back to ask for my money back and she hung up one me and said bye i then called back and she rejected my call 5 times
