The staff was very friendly, very kind. I’m leaving 3 stars only because I feel they could’ve done a neater job. I got a pedicure and the lady who did it was very slow and I felt she didn’t know exactly what she was doing. I asked her not to clip my nails and she did it anyways, cutting the big toe nail wat too short! Also the painting job was sloppy and I left with nail polish on my skin around my nails. Then another lady did my manicure, she was very sweet and fast but also i felt like she did a sloppy job, there is nail polish on my skin around my nails. It just doesn’t feel neat to me. I was going to leave the tip on my card so I told her that and she asked if I had cash for the tip and I said I only have a 5$ bill and she then kind of rudely told me that they split that after she already charged my card. I’m from out of town, not around the area. The customer service was fine, it was the finished product. Just felt like it could have been done a lot neater and a more timely fashion. I have added a few photos just to show the nail polish around my fingers and how short she cut my toe nail. Read Less

So everywhere I've been pedicure are 25 dollars here it's an extra five dollars for exfoliating feet so that's bad then they don't have the some tools others do. It's also a little warm in here on the plus the offer drinks but almost all I been to does to. It is nice and clean but no TV to watch. I wanted to give 3 stars but five dollars wasn't that big of a deal breaker. Read Less

My sister, mother and I came to sunset nails on vacation I got gel acrylic along with my sister, my mother got a pedicure and my mom and sister got their eyebrows waxed. Great service, nice welcoming employees! Even got offered a drink like coke or Pepsi. Definitely recommend going here! Read Less

I highly recommend this Nail Spa. They do a wonderful job. I am a local and I have been to several around the area and hands down Sunset Nails is the best. It is clean, the owner is very nice. I was pleased with the variety of nail polish. Read Less

Came on family vacation and was told this was the place to go and I was NOT disappointed! Owner and staff are VERY friendly and offer beverages. Quick but thorough! I highly recommend this salon and will be back next year again while on vacation! Read Less

I don't like giving negative reviews but I was so appalled by my experience today that I must write a review. I arrived at 3pm for my appt to learn that 3 people were booked with Mimi for that time slot and Mimi does her own bookings!  At 3:40 I asked her when she'd be able to start my manicure and she said around 4pm, this is unacceptable waiting an hour for a nail appt.  She ended up pulling another girl who was in the middle of giving a customer a pedicure to do myNails which is not okay. The girl getting the pedicure appeared to have waited forever too and was not happy.  The manicure I got was sub par, no lotion, no cuticle oil, the lady didn't even remove all of my previous red polish before painting my nails white!Around 4pm Mimi became very irritated with her client next to me. Mimi was beyond rude to this poor women who did NOTHING wrong. She sort of threw the gel color samples at the woman when the woman noticed Mimi was using the wrong color on her nails. The woman pointed out that underneath her nail needed to be cleaned and MIMI said well what did you do, that's your fault.  No Mimi clean the poor lady's nail. I was so upset for the lady next to me that I actually told Mimi to be nice and not so rude. I was appalled. Not to mention, Mimi interrupted the woman's nail appt at least 10 times with phone calls, etc. I left my $20 on the table and walked out. I've had a manicure almost weekly for the past 14 years of my life and have never had such a bad experience at a nail salon. Watch out, this place will leave you upset and feeling pretty bad!   I must too comment on the excess amount of awards and signage in and outside the salon as they're definitely a cover up for a huge mess.

Difficult to get appointment even during the week. Went night before my wedding and left a total mess, I had to file my nails to get them to be the same length. Had pedi scheduled but she did a walk in Mani while I waited after my appointment time and had no time for my Pedi - had to go home and do it myself. Getting it fixed in Raleigh today! Read Less

Mimi is wonderful! She is personable, professional and very caring to all her customers. She is quick and easy to talk to and does a fabulous job on your nails. No disappointments in her salon!!! Thanks MiMi. Read Less

This hands down was the worst pedicure I have ever received. I treated myself for my birthday, and was told Ricky was doing my pedicure. It started out where they did not drop anything into the water to sanitize it as it was filling up. They asked me if I wanted to have a hot stone massage added and I said no. He said why you don't want to pay more. He made me feel uncomfortable about it, not to mention the fact that he brought it up again about me not wanting to pay more another time during the pedicure. The pedicure lasted about 15 min, then he went to polish and messed up on 1 nail and instead if starting over on it, he kept adding polish which made it worse. I finally said why don't you just redo it. He said yeah and did. Then it came time to pay and I used a credit card, and he insisted on his tip in cash.  I left without my nails dry and told them I don't want to be here anymore. Nice birthday pedicure huh. I would stay away. You deserve to be treated much better. If I could I would give it (0) stars Read Less

Nothing special but ok, they are very nice and the owners are multitasking and doing several people at one time. I went since I wanted to clean up my nails for work this week, the nail tech didn't quite get that I didn't want polish on my fingers etc and gave me a little bit of a hard time. But since I am in health care no polish or long nails is a must! I would go back for a clean up. Don't expect any fancy lotions etc. Read Less

This salon was chosen the Best of Brunswick County in 2015 which should tell visitors it's a great salon.  Mimi (owner) has a full client base of locals that support her year round.  During vacation season, she attempts to fit walk-ins/call-ins around her already full schedule  and she does this in a professional manner.  I've been going to Mimi now for 3 years and have NEVER experienced anything like Dana G. described!!Manis/pedis are a luxury for most of us and something we do for ourselves!  I thoroughly enjoy every appointment I have every 3-4 weeks!!!  Keep up the great work Mimi!!!!

For four years I have been going to Sunset Nail Spa.  Each time I am greeted and attended to in a timely manner.  My pedicures and manicures are beautiful and last for at least 3-4 weeks. Mimi is highly professional and very experienced.  I always look forward to my visit and highly satisfied afterwards.  #1 nail salon in Sunset Beach!!!!Linda(Resident of Sunset Beach) Read Less

I really wanted to like this place, but I just can't recommend it.  I set this up as part of a bridal party outing two days before the wedding, and I definitely wouldn't use it again for "occasion" nails.  If you're not too picky about your nails, check it out.Let's start with the good:  Mimi is sweet and was easy to work with.  She offered us water and wine numerous times.  She gave each of us a 10% group discount.  She is in a convenient and easy-to-find location.  She seems to stay very busy, with multiple people in and out, phones ringing for appointments and what I assume were locals (always a good sign, right?) when we first got there.  There are tons of polish choices, both gel and regular polish.  I don't think any of us had issues with polish staying put (most of us did gel mani and regular pedi)Highlights of the bad:  - Mimi told me on the phone when I made the appt, that she only had 4 chairs and 4 people to do nails, therefore my group of 8 would be split in half.  No big deal, we came prepared with fixin's for mimosas.  However, after one pedicure, person #4 disappeared.  And after one mani/pedi, person #3 disappeared.  Leaving only Mimi and another woman to do the other 6 mani/pedi's.  It was very rushed (yet still took FOR-EV-ER) and disorganized - Mimi was bouncing between answering the phone, painting a design on one person's toes and doing a manicure all at the same time. - The actual mani/pedi left a lot to be desired.  There was minimal filing and no cutting of nails or cuticles.  There was no lotion/cuticle oil rub.  The polish I chose for my pedi was thick and goopy.  But, instead of trying to thin it or ask me to pick another polish, he just kept layering it on hoping it would get better, until I said something.  Mimi had a very difficult time executing what the bride was asking for (both she and I have had the same thing done previously without any difficulty, so not asking for something ridiculous).   - Mimi had convinced the mother-of-the-groom (a demure, mani/pedi virgin) to get "sparkles" on top of her pedicure.  The "sparkles" turned out to just be a straight up silver polish which entirely covered her pretty coral polish.  When she was done with one foot and the M-o-G politely said she didn't really like it, there was visible irritation and sigh-ing and palpable tension in the air.  I get it, it's annoying to fix it, but still.  Mimi had a bunch of "Best of" awards certificates on her wall.  Maybe we caught her on an off day or she was overwhelmed by having 8 of us... I'm not sure.  But, we were all flabbergasted that this could possibly be the best in the area. Read Less

I decided to go to sunset nail to treat myself to a mani pedi while on vacation. I went in at 9:30 on a Monday morning and the whole salon was full. Mimi asked if I could come back later and luckily it was rainy so no beach day meant my day was open. I made an appt for 2:30pm and came back then. I was the only other person in the salon when I came back. Mimi started my manicure at the station and continued to make phone calls while doing my manicure to try and shuffle some appointments around. At this time someone called about their 3:00pm appt to confirm she could still take them. Now mind you she just started my mani/pedi at 2:30 and there was no one else working at the moment. My curiosity was peaked. I started chatting with Mimi and learned it is just her working at the salon. Sometimes she has a woman there to help her (whom was that day in the back eating). She went on to tell me that she prides herself on her local customers and does her best to accommodate them. I thought this was really nice as being a local at home I appreciate that type of recognition for loyalty.Long story short. This is her downfall. Mimi needs more help. period. I watched many people come in the salon who were turned away and/or asked to come back later or tomorrow. On top of that, the woman who confirmed her 3pm appointment came in at 3 on the dot and in the meantime Mimi had taken in a mother and daughter for mani/pedis and her assistant was only just starting the mother. The regular woman was very upset (understandably so) and argued publicly with Mimi that this happens way too often. At this point Mimi started bargaining with her while stopping my pedi. I felt she was just stretched too thin. I could maybe forgive her staffing issues, if you are just a visitor looking for a good mani or pedi while on vacation. But what you should know is her polish options were looking a little old, and my mani has chipped horribly within less than 24 hours. I mean. Come on. I wanted to love Mimi and her salon but, save yourself the awkward experience. Read Less

If you are a bride... This is the place to go!!! The owner Mini is so sweet and accommodating!! it's a smaller place, so definitely make an appointment. Mimi also gave us a free bottle of wine for our wedding! We also called around for pricing, and she was one of the cheapest too.  I would highly recommend anyone to go here, you wont be disappointed!

I was in North Carolina for a few days and desperately needed a mani/pedi .  Looked online and found this clean, charming salon at Sunset beach.  The owner was friendly and helpful.  She listened carefully to what I wanted.  Both nail techs are skilled and caring.  Mimi did my gel manicure and did not rush my hands through the UV light to save time.  My nails still look gorgeous two weeks later because she did it right! If you're lucky enough to live in or near sunset beach this is your new nail salon. GO!! Read Less

I visited this place with my friend for the first time and boy were we impressed! The salon is super clean and Mimi the owner is a sweetheart. I highly recommend this establishment especially the hot rock pedicure-very soothing and a great stress reliever. Read Less
