Went to the other nail place in Calabash near food lion and it was a horrible job. Now a week and a half need to have done over again. Nails chipped in one day paid extra for gel. Girl was quick and didn't care. Search out this place that someone recommended and so glad I did. The lady that did my nails took her time and did a perfect t job exactly what I asked for. Very busy shop and not once did she rush it. Thank you so much. Highly recommend this place. Donna Read Less

I went in here for an acrylic fill and I pointed out to the guy where my natural nail was separating from the acrylic on several nails at the tip, underneath . There was also a large crack on the corner of my thumb nail. Well he just ignored me and did nothing about it. So here I am not even a week later and my nails are falling off after just having paid for a fill. Not to mention the fact that the nails separating have bacteria and moisture in them that can cause infection. Bare minimum job done here. They don't care and I will not be back. Read Less

The salon is very clean, organized, and the staff was attentive and polite. The prices are fairly low considering the time they take on the actual pedis and manis. Andy did my nails- he was great- his attention to detail was much appreciated. Check them out! Read Less

The absolute worst nail experience I've ever had. I usually go to a nail salon in myrtle beach but my normal nail guy was booked and had to get my nails done before a wedding I was a bridesmaid in this weekend, so based on reviews I decided to try this place. Obviously that was a huge mistake. I went in for a gel manicure and regular pedicure, and an older gentleman did both of these for me. We'll start with the pedicure. The foot soak was lukewarm at best. Then the man doing my pedicure was super rough, and used hand soap and a nail brush to 'massage' my calves.. it was the strangest thing I've ever had happen during a pedicure. I also picked out one color to do on both my nails and toenails (a OPI light pink color), and the color on my toenails is a darker shade than my nails. I'll preface talking about my gel manicure with saying that a woman who was obviously a regular came in with two other women all wanting pedicures & because they were short staffed one of them had to wait for my guy to finish my manicure before she could get hers. Well as soon as the guy doing my nails realized this he rushed through my manicure to try to get done so he could go start on this other woman. Because he was trying to rush through my manicure, he was so rough with my cuticles that he actually ended up cutting one way too short and made it bleed. I asked for square nails and he filed them down so sharp on the edges of my nails that I had to go home and file them so they wouldn't stab the sides of my fingers where my nails sit. He also was super sloppy with applying the layers of the gel color and top coat, getting it all over the sides of my nails, which has caused my gel manicure (which typically lasts 2-3 weeks at my regular nail salon) to last me not even 2 HOURS after I left the salon before they started to chip and lift from my nails. He also acted very irritated when I asked him to do an extra topcoat for me (I work in the service industry, so I always get an extra topcoat since I'm constantly washing my hands), as if I had inconvenienced him or something. I pretty much threw my $50 down the drain for a horrible mani/pedi that I could've done a better job myself at home, and if I wouldn't have had to go straight into work after my appointment, I would've gotten him to take it all off and wouldn't have paid for it whatsoever. So what I've gathered is that unless you're a regular of this salon, you're not going to get the high level of service or quality that should warrant this place to be an almost 5 star establishment. I'd honestly like to go back and get my money back, but I'm sure it'd be a lost cause. From now on I'll just stick to my normal nail salon, where I know that my money won't be wasted and that I'll get quality service and equal treatment. Read Less

The worst nail experience I've ever had. The guy was super rough with both my pedicure and gel manicure and rushed through my gel manicure because a regular had walked in and he wanted to get to her instead of take his time and give me a quality experience. He was super sloppy with my manicure which caused my gel (which last 2-3 weeks normally when I go to my regular nail salon) to not even last 2 hours before they chipped. $50 wasted and if I hadn't had to go straight into work after my appointment I would've never paid for what I got and made them remove all of it. I will never be back nor will I ever recommend this place to anyone unless they want to throw their money down the drain. Read Less

Came here while visiting family. Nice place but was really quiet... No music or ambiance to relax. Same at 10:30am on a Thursday. Mani & pedi took 1.5 hours because they don't do both services at the same time, which I thought was standard. I'm used to two people working at the same time. Quality was pretty good. Pricing was $25 for gel mani and $25 for regular pedi. Read Less

Had high hopes due to all the positive reviews but did not have a good experience. I went in for a manicure. Girl cut me several times when removing cuticle around my nails. While the polish looked good when I left it had pealed/chipped off three fingers before the night was over. I was not doing anything physical or putting them in water, or washing dishes. Polish definitely should have lasted more than 8 hours. Read Less

This was the most luxurious spa pedicure I've experienced. The attention to detail and precision in the cuticle and nail care was impressive but then the multiple levels of massage - first with sugar scrub, then gel, then a foam w heated towel, then a hot oil. we were practically purring! We are making Friendly Nails a day-one of vacation tradition every time we are in the area. And now every time I go for a pedicure at my usual place at home I will realize the bar has been raised immeasurably. Read Less

Extremely clean place.  Technicians were very friendly and paid attention to the details. My mom and myself each received a basic pedicure, which there was nothing basic about it.

I pretty much threw my $50 down the drain for a horrible mani/pedi that I could've done a better job myself at home, and if I wouldn't have had to go straight into work after my appointment, I would've gotten him to take it all off and wouldn't have paid for it whatsoever. So what I've gathered is that unless you're a regular of this salon, you're not going to get the high level of service or quality that should warrant this place to be an almost 5 star establishment. I'd honestly like to go back and get my money back, but I'm sure it'd be a lost cause. From now on I'll just stick to my normal nail salon, where I know that my money won't be wasted and that I'll get quality service and equal treatment. Read Less

The absolute worst nail experience I've ever had. I usually go to a nail salon in myrtle beach but my normal nail guy was booked and had to get my nails done before a wedding I was a bridesmaid in this weekend, so based on reviews I decided to try this place. Obviously that was a huge mistake. I went in for a gel manicure and regular pedicure, and an older gentleman did both of these for me. We'll start with the pedicure. The foot soak was lukewarm at best. Then the man doing my pedicure was super rough, and used hand soap and a nail brush to 'massage' my calves.. it was the strangest thing I've ever had happen during a pedicure. I also picked out one color to do on both my nails and toenails (a OPI light pink color), and the color on my toenails is a darker shade than my nails. I'll preface talking about my gel manicure with saying that a woman who was obviously a regular came in with two other women all wanting pedicures & because they were short staffed one of them had to wait for my guy to finish my manicure before she could get hers. Well as soon as the guy doing my nails realized this he rushed through my manicure to try to get done so he could go start on this other woman. Because he was trying to rush through my manicure, he was so rough with my cuticles that he actually ended up cutting one way too short and made it bleed. I asked for square nails and he filed them down so sharp on the edges of my nails that I had to go home and file them so they wouldn't stab the sides of my fingers where my nails sit. He also was super sloppy with applying the layers of the gel color and top coat, getting it all over the sides of my nails, which has caused my gel manicure (which typically lasts 2-3 weeks at my regular nail salon) to last me not even 2 HOURS after I left the salon before they started to chip and lift from my nails. He also acted very irritated when I asked him to do an extra topcoat for me (I work in the service industry, so I always get an extra topcoat since I'm constantly washing my hands), as if I had inconvenienced him or something.

The worst nail experience I've ever had. The guy was super rough with both my pedicure and gel manicure and rushed through my gel manicure because a regular had walked in and he wanted to get to her instead of take his time and give me a quality experience. He was super sloppy with my manicure which caused my gel (which last 2-3 weeks normally when I go to my regular nail salon) to not even last 2 hours before they chipped. $50 wasted and if I hadn't had to go straight into work after my appointment I would've never paid for what I got and made them remove all of it. I will never be back nor will I ever recommend this place to anyone unless they want to throw their money down the drain. Read Less

Came here while visiting family. Nice place but was really quiet... No music or ambiance to relax. Same at 10:30am on a Thursday. Mani & pedi took 1.5 hours because they don't do both services at the same time, which I thought was standard. I'm used to two people working at the same time. Quality was pretty good. Pricing was $25 for gel mani and $25 for regular pedi. Read Less

Had high hopes due to all the positive reviews but did not have a good experience. I went in for a manicure. Girl cut me several times when removing cuticle around my nails. While the polish looked good when I left it had pealed/chipped off three fingers before the night was over. I was not doing anything physical or putting them in water, or washing dishes. Polish definitely should have lasted more than 8 hours. Read Less

This was the most luxurious spa pedicure I've experienced. The attention to detail and precision in the cuticle and nail care was impressive but then the multiple levels of massage - first with sugar scrub, then gel, then a foam w heated towel, then a hot oil. we were practically purring! We are making Friendly Nails a day-one of vacation tradition every time we are in the area. And now every time I go for a pedicure at my usual place at home I will realize the bar has been raised immeasurably. Read Less

Extremely clean place.  Technicians were very friendly and paid attention to the details. My mom and myself each received a basic pedicure, which there was nothing basic about it. More like a spa pedicure at our regular places at home. Used liners in the tubs and new supplies. Offered cold drinks and made sure the color we picked was what we liked before they proceeded. Very pleased and will recommend to our family that is local. Read Less
