It Was My Home Nail Salon But I'm Never Goin Back I Spend To Much Money Too Be Treated Poorly Hopefully She Does Some Improvement ! Read Less

This place is in the cut, you would really have to keep an eye out in order to actually find the place.  Good  customer service, cool massage chairs. I got a pedi mani for my sisters wedding and it came out nice.*It lasted 24 hours* Read Less

A bit like getting your nails done in someone's living room- anything from Korean drama to NCIS playing on the TV, kinda random decor, and there may be kids running around.  Not the spa experience.  But they're cheap, do a good pedicure, and always have lots of magazines! Read Less

This place is gross! Not sure how it received the reviews it has. It took all I had to not walk when the roach started walking across the wall behind my nail tech. All of the equipment is dirty and old. How did other Yelpers not notice this? I want to go back just to pics. Just don't do it. As far as my nails the work was nothing above average and prices were not any cheaper than other salons. Read Less

I have been getting my pedicure there for a little over a year. I loved the way the women did my pedicure so much that I started getting manicures as well. ..that's when things changed. 1)while the women doing my pedicure did an excellent job, her manicure was not so great. When I asked to have her do my pedicure and someone else do my manicure, I was told that I had to have both services by the same person. 2) I went for a pedicure and she cut my second toenail wrong and caused an ingrown toenail which was very painful and took a while to heal. ...but the final straw was when I showed them a picture of what I wanted and they did something totally different.  I could tell from the owners face that she knew the manicure was not good but instead of owning the mistake she tried to act like it was beautiful! When I stated that my nails liked nothing like what I asked for,  she offered to do a design on top to try and make it look better then acted as if she was doing me a favor by not charging me for the designs. She charged me full price and my nails looked hideous! I had to pay someone else to redo my no chip. .....Needless to say I will not be going back. Read Less

I visited Pearl as soon as they opened (9AM), I was warmly greeted by the owner and his wife, seated and ready to be treated. Gel manis are typically quickly executed and you're out the door, however, the sir who serviced my nails took his time applying several coats of color and noted the ripples in my nails from acrylics past. He gave tips on how to smooth out my nails which was kind of him. We talked about vacation, kids, and Vietnamese food without an effort to carry on the conversation. By the end of the mani, my nails were shaped to perfection and super shiny from all the buffing and coating he'd done. He gave me a card for the business and welcomed me back, which I will happily oblige. If you're in the market for ambiance Pearl is not your place, the salon in no frills and probably boasts only 4-5 pedicure chairs at the max. There were plenty of manicure stations but only about 5 techs max so I would certainly recommend coming earlier in the day. The owner mentioned calling ahead which is helpful. Hopefully this review helps your decision on visiting this nail salon, I was pleased w outcome! Read Less

I love Pearl Nails. Lei and her sister are awesome. They do great work and the price is right. They are never rude or rushed. Their may be busy but they still provide great service. I have been going to them for 5 yrs and have always loved the work. Lei does great hand painted designs and eyebrows. I can't stand to go anywhere else due to how good the services are at Pearl Nails. Read Less

I have been going to see Li and her family for my nails for almost 15 years. Li bought this Pearl Nails roughly 8 years ago and I followed her from her old location. I'm not sure about the other two poor ratings, perhaps they are the wrong Pearl Nails because there are 3 in Columbia?! I have never seen any of the ladies come across as rude, most of the time just quiet because some don't speak much English, but I have seen plenty of customers come off more than rude, just plain mean. I really enjoy going here in the middle of the week mid-day when the loud non-tipping customers are not around. It's quiet and relaxing. Li has made several improvements including painting and putting in a new floor. My advice for any customer, not just here or anywhere is be nice to the people providing you service. Don't treat them like less and perhaps you'll get more than just the standard service. Also...don't be cheap, tip your manicurist. I can't believe how many people don't tip anymore, especially young people. Read Less

This wonderful place is 5 minutes from my house walking and driving. I love it here. They spoil me when I come. I get a pedicure and manicure when I come. They always wrap my legs and massage them. And when I am sitting in the chair getting my pedicure, they always do my manicure at the same time. I never have to get up until I am done. Very sweet ladies. Only setback is that the shop is small, so its a little cramped when busy. This establishment, I think is much better then other places that I have been to, that do the same thing but charge you more and service is not that great Read Less

I went to this place on Sunday, the nail tech rushed the entire time. My nails were sloppy. The tech charged me $40 for a regular manicure and pedicure, I called the salon on Monday to ask the price, I was told $30 for a regular mani and pedi. When I called them out on it (over the phone), they said no, no.., we charge $30. I'm going back to get my refund. What a rip off. Read Less

Got the gel manicure done which looked beautiful but the best part is it actually lasted 2 weeks as it's said it's supposed to.  I've gotten the gel manicures at other places which are ok but then by the end of the week with growth I find it will start peeling at the nail bed or look weird as you see the nail bed.  not this time! I can't remember her name but the lady was very meticulous and made sure the polish didn't run over my cuticles before it was set. Recommended. Read Less

Went here for the first time today, I'm from out of town and had some time to kill. It's not very nice looking but I read the couple of good reviews on here so I figured what the heck. I asked for a full set. She cut my real nails & didn't even file them before putting the set on. Also during this process she just threw one of the nails behind her on the floor - confirming my thoughts about it being a little dirty in there. Although I still rated a 2 because they were nice & my nails look good. It was weird she didn't even put a base coat before the color polish. They also didn't have a nail dryer, I just had to sit there with my hands in front of the fan. Lastly - make sure you have enough cash for your tip - they couldn't make change for a $20 for me.

Came in for a pedicure. The lady who did my nails barely said anything to me. She did a usual pedicure but sped it up by about 15-20 minutes. She started by a having really hot water in the tub and not really changing it when I asked. She then trimmed my nails down (fine) but was twisting my toes and really hurting them. After that, she barely touched my calluses. I didn't get the same treatment as some other reviewers because they said that they had no calluses afterwards but I still do. And I don't have awful feet! I'm talking MAYBE 30 seconds?! She put some exfoliating scrub on my legs and then oil. She massages my legs for probably 2 minutes each..not what I'm used to! But the kicker was that she didn't rinse anyway off...I still have it on my legs! She rushed me out of the chair and put me in a new chair with a hand fan to dry my toes! No light or anything! She did allow me to put tip on the card but I asked before she swiped. This place is okay if you want a really quick pedicure with good color. I go for the whole experience! Probably not returning!

Went here today for the first time.  It's close to home and I wasn't in the mood to spend 50-60 bucks on a pedicure.  Called to make an appointment and they squeezed me in just 30 minutes later.  Let me say that I've had some pretty horrible pedicures in my day so I'm reluctant to not pay the 50+ bucks for the top salons.  I was pleasantly surprised by Pearl....it's honestly one of the best pedicures I've had in a LONG time.....calluses and dead skin completely GONE and the polish job looks great!  All for $22????? Score!  I'll definitely be back and often.  On a side note, they don't accept tips on credit cards so plan ahead. Read Less

Got my nails done here. I got spa pedicure done. They do a REALLY good job, they made sure my calluses were fully removed, and cleaned my feet really well. The massage was on point I request a leg massage too because I don't get my nails painted. Definitely big bonus points for that!Less then 10 minutes from Columbia mall so save money and come here instead of getting your nails done at the mall!Reasonable priced so I'll probably be back if I'm ever in the area!P.S they do waxing as well!

Need a french manicure and eyebrow wax for a wedding. I walked right in on a Wednesday around 11:30am and they took me right away. Kim did an excellent job on both my nails and brows. All equipment was sterilized. Everyone was very friendly. I would return again. Read Less
