This is the first time bringing my daughter to the GDN Nail Bar. I have frequented the GDN Man Cave for my hair cuts. Both locations are wonderfully decorated and give a great relaxed vibe. Sometimes difficult to make an appointment but well worth it. Highly recommend the locations
The interior decoration is beautiful and all of the staff that I interacted with were so nice. I received a gel manicure on natural nails and unfortunately it started chipping off the day of the manicure. The polish completely fell off some of my nails, and it chipped away on other nails. It has been less than a week and it does not even look like I got a manicure. My past gel manicures have always lasted at least two weeks. This location seems to do an excellent job with acrylic nails, but I would not recommend them for a gel manicure on natural nails.
The hidden gem of Wilmington. If youre reading this, and you havent gone to GDN, go!!! As fast as you can. Get on their calendar and make an appointment because its hands down the best experience, quality, and bar far the best Nails Ive ever had. Dont waste your time anywhere else in town, trust me. Ive been all over the place and now Ive found my nail home
I am very particular about where I get my nails done, and GDN has exceeded my expectations. My gel manicure always lasts for a really long time! Everyone there is great, friendly and do an incredible job. Today I had Eilene, and she just went above and beyond! She is fantastic! Highly recommend GDN!
This is the only place I will go and get my nails done. Every one of their nail techs are highly experienced and very knowledgeable. Excellent quality for the price. And everyone is so friendly. I highly recommend this shop.
This place just isnt a nail bar, its a work of art that you can walk through! Thats the first thing that hits you when you walk through the door at GDN. Next comes the very cool and personable staff who are certainly on top of their game. This is not by any stretch of the imagination your typical nail bar. So worth a visit, treating someone else to one, or even better, go together!
Best nail salon I’ve ever been to hands down, my nails look beautiful and she actually recommended something that would help my real nails instead of just trying to get money out of me and just slap something on. The vibe when you walk in is so comfortable. Thank you again !
I love this place! This is my new nail salon, they’ve done the best I’ve seen.
GDN Nail Bar is my favorite place to get a pedicure in the state! Their work exceeds expectations everytime. The attention paid to detail is beyond any other nail salon I have ever visited.I also deeply appreciate how much the artists command respect and have pride in their work. This is not a place for Karens to change their mind constantly and/or demand free things. They run a tight ship, which as talented professionals, they totally should.Much love and respect to GDN, please dont ever change.
I LOVE this place! It’s one of the only nail salons I’ve been to that offers such a Why is variety of services and you always leave with your nails looking great!
Excellently skilled staff, great atmosphere, complimentary wine, and everyone was wearing masks. It was a wonderful experience for my first pedicure and I would totally recommend this to anyone.
Star does the best job she does amazing work and she never disappoints she always amazes me with her nail art
I finally got an appointment.. went to get a much needed pampering pedi! Felicia is an amazing person. She was so kind and sweet and did well with massage within my service. 🖤
This was my first gel manicure. Nancy was amazing and talked me through the entire experience. I highly recommend her!
No one does nails better. The mail techs that work here are so very talented and pay close attention to detail. They have every trend and polish you can think of, such as custom mixed glitters, color acrylic, foil, 5D polish, Holo, chrome, mood change, decals, gems, and hand painted designs.They sell wonderful cuticle oil, lotion, and hand sanitizer by CND that I swear by. Going to see Panda, Denise, Dynh, Trent, and Felicia at the Princess Street location is always a great experience that I look forward to, full of laughter and good conversation. Jennifer at the Racine location is pretty amazing as well. Overall they do fantastic work and charge competitive prices with other high end nail bars and salons. If you want quality this is the place to be. If you want chop shop prices, you get chop shop nails.The photos Ive posted are taken by me, sometimes a week or more into wear. Any wear and tear shown does not reflect on GDN, but shows I use my nails as tools and they still stand stay put. If anything its more a sign of high quality because I cook, sculpt, clean, refinish furniture, etc on a regular basis.
First time customer. Before my scheduled nail appointment with Star, I had an emergency dentist appointment and found out it would be costing 1200.00 I called 2 hours before my nail Appt and explained the situation and asked to cancel because of the unexpected 1200.00 dental emergency. I was told since star was slow she would not allow me to cancel and would be charging me for the servicePoor customer service. I will definitely not recommend to anyone - I hope it never happens to her!!!
Shout out to Nancy! I got my nails done a week prior somewhere else, and I was not happy with their work. I have been to GDN for pedicures, so I decided to make an appointment to have my nails redone. I am so happy that I did. GDN never disappoints!!! Nancy was awesome. I will definitely be seeing her on a regular basis. 🖤
Nancy did my nails today and did a great job! I moved to this area recently and this was the 4th place I have tried. I already made my next appointment with Nancy. She is meticulous. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming including the other customers. The nail shop in general has a really good vibe.
Absolutely love this place. If youre sick of the assembly line like nail soas and want an actual professional environment and good work, go to GDN!
Great atmosphere!! Along with very helpful and friendly staff. Will definitely be back!!!
GDN Nail Bar is by far, the best nail salon in Wilmington. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. Hirsch Nguyen is amazing!! Hes meticulous in his work and it shows. Ive never been disappointed in my nails. I have finally found a nail salon and a great nail technician!!
Jen at the front desk is very kind and personable! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and are great at what they do. I’m glad I started coming here!
Coolest vibe in town and they do great work! I go for the mascot.. the dog!
I absolutely loved the experience. I was sold once they offered me an glass of fun. Nancy paid so much attention to my feet and honestly they have never felt this good. I will def be paying be coming back. AND last but not least they play the best music! I wish I could’ve given them 10 stars.
Wish I could give more than 5 stars! Hirsch is absolutely amazing and I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone. Every single appointment he is always upbeat and outgoing. I appreciate that he takes his time and puts his all into it. His drive and creativity NEVER disappoint I always leave loving my nails.
I took my mom here for a mother/daughter pedicure pampering session, and had an absolutely lovely time. Her technician was Nancy, and I had Rachel. Both were amazing and I cannot reccomend them enough. We will definitely be returning for our future nail needs.
GDN Nails is not a regular in and out salon! It is upscale, unique, and personalized type of salon. I highly recommend them. 10/10 stars.
I never had my nails done before and I went in and they took care of me so good, I’m in love with what they did. I’ll figure out how to post a pic soon on here
Love this place!! Great staff and chill atmosphere. Awesome work, love my nails! (Shout out to April). I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great nail bar!!
Was very excited about trying this place. I got a full set. Everything went fine until 2 weeks later ALL of my nails lifted up near the cuticle. For their prices to be as high as they are my expectations were not met. Receptionist told me I would have to pay for them to be redone since it wasn’t within the 7 day policy. I understand if it was my fault and I broke maybe one or two, but my nails were lifting and popping off like press on nails. I have NEVER in my life had this happen to my nails, I spoke with owner and he came up with excuses saying it could have been oils in my nails, then learning my nails, etc etc. I should have received a free full set for my troubles. I never once got an apology. Will not be returning. Very displeased.
This place is a bit pricey but so worth it. I have never had a mani pedi as good as this, ever. So, going back again 10 🌟
Best nail salon in town.
I had such a great experience at this place. Everyones very friendly and you definitely get what you pay for. Thank you Jennifer for being gentle and giving me gorgeous gel nails! :)
This place is top notch! The staff members clearly enjoy the time they spend there, adding to the friendly vibe and kindness shared with the guests. Thanks Allen for the best pedicure; my mermaid toes are still gorgeous a week out! -Katrina
Went here yesterday with my best friend and absolutely fell in love! The staff there are amazing, the atmosphere is great, and there are so many different nail colors to choose from! It was the best nail experience I’ve had. Definitely will be coming back next time I’m in town. ☺️
Hands down the best nail salon in Wilmington. Other places just can’t compare. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is fantastic, the interior is gorgeous, and the color choices are insanely great. I will continue to come back to this place because of their beyond excellent service. Highly recommend!
My wife and I came to Wilmington for a wedding. She wanted to get her nails done and was telling me I should also. I am 64 and have never done this. I googled and found GDN and read the reviews (one from the groom of the wedding we are attending) and thought “What the heck.” I am now wondering what took me so long. The atmosphere and service was awesome. I may drive down from DC to get my nails done more often!
GDN will always be my go to for nails. The staff are kind and professional. Dynh is a friendly and charismatic guy and an even better nail tech. They use only the best products and techniques. The environment is comfortable and welcoming. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone.
Absolutely love this place! Great customer service and they really go above and beyond! Will be returning on a regular basis! ❤️
GDN Nail Bar is fantastic!! Dynh is amazing and so gifted at what he does! I received a full set a week ago for my wedding and they still look like I just walked out of the bar to have them done. Highly recommend the downtown location!
Very professional. Nice relaxing environment. Really focused on quality instead of getting people in the door and out.
Love this place! I wish I had found it sooner. The staff is amazing. They definitely take them time and are very precise. You will definitely get your moneys worth. I am very pleased with my nails each time I visit GDN. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.
Ive gotten acrylics, manicures, and even simply run in to get keratin treatment from GDN before and Ive never been disappointed in the service Ive received. The staff is extremely friendly and fun, the atmosphere is relaxing, and I cant think of a nail place that can compare. Ive recommended this place to some friends, and will continue to return myself!
The best! The atmosphere is always so relaxing and fun. Marie does my nails perfectly every time. I’m amazed at how talented all the nail artists are and I will never go anywhere else!
Every time I’ve been to GDN, it’s an amazing experience - I love how laidback and friendly everyone is and I see that they’re really passionate about what they do. And it really shows, my nails always come out looking PHENOMENAL! I’ve moved to Charlotte, NC but every time I visit Wilmington I make sure I get an appointment in with GDN!
Absolutely love these people! Such an awesome salon. Always so satisfied when I come here. Would definitely recommend.
Such a GREAT experience & my gel mani lasted me awhile without chipping or making me want to peel them off. great people, great service, and a very fun atmosphere!
There is no place in Wilmington like GDN nail bar! Truly a top notch nail salon that does way more than your average full set. All three nail techs are incredibly gifted and knowledgeable. They can give you a unique set of nails that stands out and speaks for the salon themselves. Ive been going there for about four months now and have tried all shapes, colors, 3D flowers, encapsulated dried flowers. Ive loved every set Ive had and my nails are still healthy underneath my set. You have got to check this place out, you will never go anywhere else.
I had an appointment this past Friday. Loved the look as I went out the door. Headed by bedtime my fingernails and started chipping. Manicure seemed rushed. Now 5 days later half of the Polish has chipped off. I may be a little rough on my nails but Ive never had this quick a disappointment. On the flip side the guy who did my pedicure did a great job and hes only been a nail tech 6 months. So unfortunately, for the price it cost, I will not be back. I gave 3 stars instead of one because the atmosphere was pleasant, the pedicure was good quality, and the wine is a nice touch.
Great place! Giving 4 stars instead of 5 because no one told me that the polish I picked out was going to be $5 extra. There was no sign or anything explaining that this kind of polish was different from all the rest, it was on the wall with the rest of the polishes.
My FAVORITE nail spot in Wilmington! They treat you like a person and not just a number or dollar sign like most nails salons. Dynh is the best nail tech I have ever had and will do whatever style or nail art you could possibly want-- and it all looks amazing. The whole staff is so friendly and I have never had a bad experience there. Plus they are on top of all the newest and coolest trends and offer so many different services.
I absolutely love this place! There is no place on earth like this salon, the atmosphere, the people, the service. They spend more time on you than most places, and do a much better job than the salon I used to go to. I always see Annalene when I go, she is fun and always makes sure I am comfortable and gives a mean leg massage. Their sugar scrub is life, and they always use top quality products. I love that they dont soak my gel polish off with acetone, also, they use some nourishing remover stuff, smells nice and doesnt dry my fingers out. Would recommend to anyone, bringing my mom when she comes to visit!
I love this place. Several different artists have done my toes and/or nails and everyone there is awesome. They are appointment only! So call ahead.
Walk in for my moms 55th birthday..Amazing atmosphere! Immediately felt welcomed. Allen was awesome! I think we found a new home!!! Definitely a hidden gem in Wilmington!
I had an appointment with the owner after having my nails botched at White Koi Nail Studio. Not only were they able to fix the mess White Koi had made but did so in a timely and friendly manner. If you are looking for a professional, reliable, and friendly service I highly suggest coming here!
Great group of gals and they take their time with you.
Amazing artist, very clean! Love this place!!! Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because they are way way way too overpriced! 😂 One of the workers said the reason they’re so pricey is because they are a “nail bar” not a salon!..... (ummmm okaaayyy 😂😂😂.... )and the basic pedicure Doesn’t Include much no scrub no massage chairs you’re sitting straight up in the chair so that wasn’t the most comfortable. But eh.... no big deal I guess.... just for regular polish on my nails and toes I paid 60 dollars (which is the highest I ever paid for regular polish with no design) other than that I really like them ( I went to the princess street location...)
SO CLEARLY YOURE OPEN AND YOU WATCHED ME KNOCK ON YOUR DOORS. I LOOKED AT YOU AND YOU LOOKED AT ME THEN STARTED LAUGHING AS I KNOCKED AGAIN. I DIDNT APPRECIATE THAT AND THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT HOW YOU SHOULD CONDUCT BUSINESS. YOUR HOURS ARE POSTED CLEARLY ON YOUR DOOR THAT YOU CLOSE AT 7PM. IM NOT THE TYPE THAT USUALLY COMPLAINS LET ALONE IN THE OPEN BUT FOR THE DISRESPECT I JUST GOT I WILL FLOOD THIS ON ALL MY SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES AND OUTLETS! STAY AWAY FOLKS THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO TREAT CUSTOMERS. I WAS THERE AT 5:30 PM TODAY THIS IS NOT A PLACE TO GO FOLKS! STAY AWAY FROM THEM ESPECIALLY IF YOURE A VETERAN AS WELL.
They are the best of the best!
Shea did a wonderful job! I highly recommend this salon. The staff was completely warm and welcoming.
I absolutely love the environment.. everyone is so welcoming and I will definitely be going back. I highly prefer EVERYONE to go to this Nail Bar! #NoRegrets
Awesome place!! They have great quality nail polish!!
BEST NAIL EXPERIENCE EVER!! Dynh is DA BOMB!!!!! I highly recommended this nail salon with its unique style and atmosphere!!!! They made me feel right at home!!!!❤️❤️❤️
We found this place and the ratings were awesome. We went and the service was awesome! Will definitely go back again when I visit.
This was a salon experience like no other. I loved the cool atmosphere and attitude of the staff. Will definitely be returning to treat myself soon!
My daughter (7) and I enjoyed our experience. Alan was great with her and was a nice guy to talk with.
I Will never go back here again. First and last time. The lady hurt me more than once. And it was not professional. I left the same way I went in, just a lighter wallet. Service was terrible. My daughter on the other hand got the man who did a good job. I assume that was his wife who did my feet. She was so busy talking to everyone and looking all around that she wasnt looking at what she was doing to my feet. I remained kind but told my daughter, never again will I go to this place.
They’re the best place in town to get your nails done. If you don’t go here you’re missing out!
Love this salon. High quality products applied by wonderful technicians.
They did my nails rlly pretty it’s awesome and they have comfy chairs too
I’ve been going to Dynh for 5 years now and he is the best nail tech I have ever been to! GDN is the #1 place to get your nails/toes done in Wilmington. All of the staff is professional and friendly. You need to check this place out!
I’m so excited I finally found a great nail salon and an amazing nail tech, Dynh! The salon is super relaxing, everyone is so friendly and fun! Super stoked!!! ❤️
Was very disappointed. I read they had great customer service, but what a let down. I dont think they know the meaning of the term. They never offered me a drink or even seemed to care I was there. Just rushed through so they could have lunch. Their prices are higher than elsewhere (though I never saw them posted) and they do less work. They did not scrub or massage my legs and left oil on the bottoms of my feet. The manicure was mediocre - my cuticles still had places that were not trimmed and I only got 1 coat of clear polish. Will definitely not be returning.
Nails never came off after a month
GDN is the best. Personable staff! Wonderful salon. Love this place.
This is not your average nail salon. Modern, hip, CLEAN. I highly recommend. Ask for Justin.
Always love my visits here. Everyone is like extended family in there and they actually care about not only servicing you but care about your well being as well.
Staff is great. I had made an appointment to have a full set and pedi for an occasion and then whe i get there, the reciptionist made it seem like the request was unclear and ended up overbooking resulting in me not being able to do my pedi. When it came to my nails i had an issue with them and no one seemed to be able to get me an appointment to fix it. If you have someone new in the business, i should have been told or given a discount if theyre not to sure what theyre doing. Very unprofessional
Dynh is the best. Hands down. Periodt.
Great customer service! Friendly staff and great atmosphere! Will go there every time from now on.
Absolutely amazing environment with wonderful people. Always a great job at GDN.
This place is awesome. Innovative, creative, beautiful design and work, the atmosphere is always friendly, the owner and the techs are like family to each other and treat their clients like gold. Would not go anywhere else in wilmington to have my nails done. No place else compares to the experience, quality of work, and people here. ❤gdn!
Shea did an awesome job on my nails ensuring my hands would look great in my engagement ring hand selfie.
Best nail salon ever, everyone who works here is awesome and they are truly artists!!
Looks good 😍 thank you dynh
Best nail salon in Wilmington!!
Very cool space with awesome people - they know what theyre doing!
They were very friendly. although they are usually appt only they were able to squeeze me in
Hirsch is my favorite. Great place with some great style!
Picked this place when I first moved here and will go no where else! Great quality, service and atmosphere!
Loved my first experience with Jennifer, absolutely loved the atmosphere & the service. My nails are on fleek💅🏽💅🏽
Highly recommended Heather at GDN to get your hair cut and colored. She does an awesome job!!!:)
Love this place. Always go out of their way to help.
Dynh, Jennifer, and Karon are all wonderful nail techs. Ive been a customer at the nail bar for awhile and can honestly say their work is amazing and customer service is super.
