My experience at Pretty Nails next door to Big Lots was extremely disappointing, to say the least. Upon entering the salon, I encountered one man and two women, all claiming to be managers. Things took a turn for the worse when a young girl, who had her nails done before my nails got finished, left the salon. Just ten minutes later, her father stormed in, visibly upset about the subpar job done on his daughter's nails. He adamantly said he wasn’t going to pay $60 for the service unless her nails were fixed. One of the women, who wasn't initially attending to me, quickly intervened, declaring herself as the manager and offering to rectify the situation. However, it was evident that the customers were still dissatisfied when they left. During the course of my own nail treatment, the woman attending to me displayed a complete lack of attentiveness and disregard for my concerns. She repeatedly brushed off my explanations and insisted that my nails would look good once she was finished. As she neared the completion of the service, I expressed my dissatisfaction with the outcome and the overall appearance of my nails. I requested that a manager review the situation, pointing to the woman who had claimed to be the manager earlier. After examining my nails, she promptly started working on them. Upon completion, I informed the staff that I would only pay for the pedicure and not for the nail service. In response, the first woman who had initially worked on my nails began to shout loudly at me and even threatened to cut off my nails with nail clippers. Given that my nails were already cut quite short, this was an alarming and unnecessary threat that made me feel extremely uncomfortable. Overall, my experience at Pretty Nails was characterized by poor service, lack of professionalism, and an altercation that left me feeling disrespected and uneasy. I’m going to report them to the Better Business Bureau and Alabama’s cosmetology licensing. Read Less

I went in today and left with crooked, messy nails with glue on my skin all around the nails. Very disappointed and will NOT be visiting again.

I stopped in on Wednesday for a fill on my white tips. When I sat done I asked Kim if she could match the quality of the nails I had on and the she said yes. The nails weren't shaped good when I left but they looked fine. The next day they started cracking on the sides and water was getting under my nails. I came back on Friday so they can fix my nails and they acted as if nothing was wrong. She said nails do that because of the gel. How does a gel polish crack acrylic??? Even the customers looked at my nails and said they weren't fresh. She constantly kept brushing me off saying she will get to me in awhile. I still remained calm and sat there. They made me wait two hours because they didn't want to miss any money. Then Kim kept "accidentally" cutting me as she did my nails. Now I have a bad fill and cuts all over my cuticles don't waste your time or money on these ghetto people. I will post pictures of bad fill and the cuts on my cuticles. Read Less

I always get great service not rushed or too long. I especially love how they do the gel manicure because they don't file the nail down which is much gentler on my nails and the gel manicure lasts longer than 2 weeks my nails grow out before the gel wears off. Read Less

When I'm visiting family in Fairhope this is where I come to get my nails done.  It's really close to my mom's house so it's convenient for us to make a quick stop in.We usually get full manicures and pedicures and they do a great job.  They are fast, yet gentle, and my nails always look fantastic when I leave.  The prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly and personable (they will actually talk to you unlike a lot of other nail places).Anyway, if you're in the area and need a quick nail job, this is the place.
