I’ve been coming to frankie for a year now and my nails never looked better!! This is the first time that all my nails are perfectly shaped each time! He is very good with design you can show him any picture and he will copy it 100% I’ll never go anywhere else

I’ve been coming here for over 2 years and will not go anywhere else. Franky is very talented in what he does & you will not be disappointed. Book a appointment through him and you will never go anywhere else. Clean place, great work & great environment.

My original nail tech cancelled on me for my wedding and thank GOD she did. Frankie did an amazing job on my wedding nails, one of a kind or should I say 10 of a kind. He did exactly what I asked. There is a bit of a wait time but other than that, 10/10 id recommend.

I’ve been coming to Franky for years. He is the best! Always learning and keeping up with the latest trends. Makes sure you’re satisfied with your nails and genuinely loves what he does. Highly recommend ⭐️

I got my nails done here thinking that they would be great because of the pictures that were posted. It was a long wait for me to get my nails done & all of that just for me to realize as soon as I got home that all of my nail designs were different sizes.😐 Never again. Don’t let the pictures fool y’all like it fooled me.😐 And this was 110$.😐

When I moved to philadelphia I went through many places untilI finally found the perfect place. Franky is very kind and knows exactly what to do just by saying or showing him what I want. OBVIOUSLY I WILL ALWAYS COME BACK

Review №13

I’ve been here a few times and I always loved every set I’ve gotten! There’s just a few issues with the time management but that’s okay, I’m a very patient person. I’m still pretty happy with every set I got done thanks to Franky!!

Van’s Nails is the best nail salon I’ve been to so far. In Philly, there aren’t too many good quality salons and I used to leave the nail salon upset all the time…having to file and fix my nails after paying a “professional” to do them. The salon looks nice and is very welcoming. Franky takes his time doing my nails and they always come out perfect. It’s like there isn’t a nail design he can’t do. I show him a picture of what I want and he gets it right every single time. His shaping is always perfect and he has great customer service skills, very friendly. I always leave satisfied.

Frankie is legit the best and has been doing my nails for a while . I never have any complaints and his nails are impossible too break . They stay cute and don’t grow out super fast like most places .

Van is really good at what he does at a reasonable price. The nail shape is the most important thing to me. I’ve been to many nail salons and he creates nail shapes the best.

Review №23

I been going to Frankie for over 2 years now and I I love Him !! His work is amazing he always knows exactly what shape I want, and any style I ask for he gives me just that! His shaping is literally the best I have ever see!! He is so friendly and welcoming!! He is literally my favorite nail tech !!

Review №24

I was a walk in. A young lady did a full set for me which turned out, blah!! The owner attempted to correct the issues however it didn’t quite work out. To make a long story short, the owner needs to train the ladies on how to do nails the way he does nails. Practice makes perfect!!

RO
Review №25

Great place when you have time to wait. Don’t expect to get the owner to do your nails (he only takes appointments). The owner and his team are friendly but service is very slow.

The ugliest nails Ive ever had in my life. Bad experience. And asking for $45 dollars for this. 😤😤😤😤😤 NOT PROFESSIONAL.

Review №28

Not professional. Poor nails and expensive. Only the man to do designs ( poor design) too bad. I never will come back!

Li
Review №29

Very distasteful to use slurs, considering Franky is educated enough to know the origin of the word “nigga/nicca/neega/Nikka”. I don’t care about your “intentions” or how you spell it. It’s plenty of other words to use. Expand your vocabulary!

After waiting 5 hours for them to attend me, the work was horrible I do not recommend this place at all and the prices are super expensive, ask for something and they gave me something else. first and last time I visit this place

Review №36

I go to different nail salons every time because I’m not picky and particularly this is the only nail salon I experienced such disrespect and rudeness....I was completely shocked with how rude he was!! I’m speaking on Franky ‘the owner’... he over charged me BIG TIME!!! I never questioned anyone’s prices, I’m a non confrontational person but I needed to figure out how was it so high and then he switched prices in the end on top of it already being pricey he tried charging me more!!! Worse experience I ever had in a salon, customer service was horrible. Beware of franky lol completely unprofessional!!

First let me say I would never go anywhere else ever again. I absolutely love going here. Franky never disappoints. He takes his time with shape and his sets are always so beautiful. I will say to avoid having to wait and get the best experience, book an appointment through his Instagram account @nailsbyfranky215

Review №39

Called for an appointnent. Had to wait forever .Asked for ombre nail. Did not get that. It looked like half and half. Ombre supposed to be a gradient effect.nails seemed rushed. For the price it is not worth it.Response: You need to be more clear in regards to an appointment. I specifically called with a time and you said it was okay. Maybe you should invest in a business class and work on time management

Review №42

I told them what I wanted done twice before my service started and they waited after my toes was done to tell me the design I wanted for my nails requires an appointment. As much as I like the results of my nails and toes, I don’t like how they run their business. Won’t be returning.**Update**I had to set an appointment with a different salon because the set I got with this salon is trash and doesn’t last at all (8 days!!). Base of the nail is already lifting and snagging my hair while styling. Huge waste of money.

Review №43

Bad customer service from the owner Frankie, he does nails nice but the lady who did my nails didn’t know what she was doing and when I told the owner he completely brushed me off because i guess the girl who nails he was doing was spending more on her nails that I was so I wasn’t important I’ll upload A video

Review №46

They did not have several colors that they advertised. The lady who did my nails quoted me the wrong price. We were catfished by their Instagram page. They actually only have one person who is good at making designs. He was not there. Coming from Texas this was a horrible experience. Please if you are not familiar with the area do not stop here.

Ji
Review №47

The lady was nice enough but my gel pedicure chipped later that same day and the nails were horrible, they didn’t move up clean, they started lifting by the second week, my cuticles were bleeding and bruised, the shaping of the nails was terrible and so much top coat was put over the nails that they were essentially lumpy instead of smooth.

Ro
Review №48

Took my girlfriend there to get her nails done and wasted my money. Should have read more reviews like we did after the fact. And Frankie commented on another customer having nails who is a doctor implying you cant have nails if are a doctor. Maybe if youre a surgeon it could be conflictual but aside from that doctors can be fashion savvy. My gf is also a doctor so your commented is not well received. Word of mouth is the best advertisement, dont forget.

It is a little small and right across from the Roosevelt mall with limited parking in front, but great service strong nails very attentive to detail, show them a picture on your phone of what you want and they will do it.

I loveeeeeee coming here! Frank and Katie are always a joy to be around and their sets are amazing! I’ve been going here for years and I never go anywhere else. I don’t let no one to touch my eyebrows but my good sis Katie and she gets me right with the nail set every time ! Her input on the designs looks better than my original ideas! Frank is super sharp with shape and designs! He knows how to do a set HUNNY! They got new stuff and the prices are affordable! Way more affordable than anywhere else. The shop is small but don’t underestimate!!! I see people complaining about the wait, but that’s because he has LOTS of clients, loyal and new! Trust me, the set you will receive is WORTH THE WAIT!

Review №52

I got a pedicure here and the technician ripped my cuticles off. I have sores and scaring from it. My polish started chipping within 5 days of my pedicure. The tech did not do a good job at removing the dead skin from the bottom of my foot. There was still dead skin there. I also got a full set and my nail broke off 10 days after the work was done. Im very disappointed. I would not recommend

Review №56

FRANKIE told me to come in at 7pm. I made it there 10min earlier to my appt had to bring my 3 small children with me also. FRANKIE made me wait 3hrs then when asked how long do I have left he said 3hrs. I made it on time and had small children out in this weather. He couldnt even look me in my face when I asked him why would you tell me to come in at 7pm if you knew you had clients. Unprofessional and HEARTLESS. Philadelphia dont waste your time. Go to someone who is not in it for the money. The most HEARTLESS NAILTECH IVE EVER MET!

I came there to get my polish changed on a Thursday by Saturday my gel polish was chipping off four nails my polish not even and my polish change on my feet is no better. I am going back to get it fixed.. this was a lesson he must of been rushing because I just wanted a polish change but when I spend any money I want it right no matter if it is 10 dollars.

Review №61

SCAMMED ME the other reviews were NOT lying. I asked for all ombrè nails which I was told by the owner are $60. He finishes my nails and charges me $140!!!!! He replies with “These look better then $60 nails” despite that’s being the original price. Never going back

The review that said Frank charges half of what another nail salon would is so inaccurate. Yes, he’s talented but for the condition and of the shop, tools, colors, and everything else, he overprices. Paid $75 for a regular full set.

I can’t BELIEVE the owner comes on here and says these reviews are fake and acts victimized. I’ve read all the reviews, good and bad. If anything the good ones are fake ! Everything is true. The shop is super dirty, tools aren’t cleaned ever, I was overcharged as well, and he’s rude. It’s sad the owner comes on here and lies but may god bless him.

I wish i could rate 0 . worst experience i ever had ! i was in there for FOUR hours !!! the owner knew the person he had to do my nails, did not know how to do nails so why have her do nails ! the lady had my nails unevenly shaped . my middle finger was short and she told me that its because peoples middle finger grows fast ! like what?? then i asked for coffin yet two of my nails was oval, ONE was coffin and the rest was square she didnt even know how to put the powder on correctly and she continuously burned me with the nail tool that they used . the guy said when i come back ill get 20% off ! 20% off my behind !! i just waited hours while he finished 3 clients took pictures of there nice nails and was working on his fourth & continously kept looking over at me because he knew the lady didnt know what she was doing . im never going back

SCAMMER ALERT!!!Always did my nails with frankie his a nice dude and at first I would tip him till I notice he was over pricing me for nails, I let him because he was good at first, than after the years he start lacking I always had to ask him to fix something wrong with the nail. After today I will not be going back! He said he was gonna refund me because he charged me wrong so I check the receipt and he did charge me wrong he wrote on his slip 83.50 and I payed 63.50 so I asked if he had square cash so I can send in the 20$ and he said I owed him more! I was like no I dont and he even blocked me from Instagram because he knows I wasnt gonna fall for his SCAM!!

Worst nail salon I’ve ever been to ... for starters they have no Sanitation equipment for their tools ... my nails were lifting within 2days, I took them off about a week later and had a horrible fungus under my nail because they were not sealed properly..I would never recommend them to anyone or return for for any future service

Review №95

People are very friendly and I mean very friendly they dont mind talking and holding conversations with you. Prices are a little high which is a downfall and when you charge me to use my card I guess thats your tip because you should not charge when Im paying so much money getting nails and pedicure done. I have a serious problem when I go to any store and purchase items and they charge me to use my card after purchasing items in your store. I dont return because I do not carry cash in this day and time.
