Alexias Nails

Walked-​in and they took me quickly! Got mani, pedi and wax with Kathy. She’s sweet, lovely and quick! Recommend this place

Have Tami do your mani/​pedi! My feet were nice and smooth and she gave the BEST leg and foot massage

I just had a pedicure. It was fabulous. I was a walk in and was seated right away. There is a wall of colors to choose from. The nail tech was excellent and attended to my rough edges on the heel and shaped my nails exactly like I explained. It is very clean and relaxing. The $ 30 also includes a mini back massage as your toes dry. I will continue to patronize this salon. The entire staff are very competent and professional.

I went in for an eyebrow wax, and while the girl was a little rough — my eyebrows looks GREAT! she took her time, shaped them well, and the cost was reasonable.
During the same visit, a different girl polished my daughters nails. She took her time with her and did a really nice job! We’ll be going back here.

I too have no idea how this place has received five stars before. The service was the worst I’ve had in years. They took approximately two minutes total to paint my nails during my manicure — getting nail polish all over my nail beds and finger tips. While I was getting a pedicure, the woman doing my feet would leave intermitedly to go each French fries and dipper whole hand in ketchup, then come back to me. The friend I was with also got a manicure. To which one woman start and did one hand, then stopped, my friend waited fifteen minutes, for another woman to come over and finish. Her nails are two drastically different lengths now. There were so many other issues with the service. Avoid at all costs.

What a nightmare! I went to the salon a week prior to my wedding with a photo. I asked if they could duplicate the nails in my pic and they said yes. I asked if they had the pearls needed to use and they said yes. So I made the appointment ! So it’s now the day before my wedding, my appointment was at noon, and I waited about 30 minutes in the techs chair until she came out from the back. I showed her the pic and she spoke to the owner in another language. The owner came over and told me they didn’t have pearls but they could do it with rhinestones! I freaked out! I asked her why she told me she had the pearls and she had no answer. I can tell you why she lied, because she wanted the business! I ordered the pearls online and got them in the mail as I was leaving home and threw them in my purse. Thank God I did! When I got them out she yelled at me, «why you mad? You have pearls!» I said I was mad because she lied! Throughout the appointment she made feel uncomfortable. The tech did a nice job. I won’t be going back though because she lied, was rude, and would not accept a $ 50 gift card I received. She said it was expired! So they just took money without performing a service! I ended up paying over $ 100 !! Bad business! What a horrible way to treat a customer! Do not go to Alexia’s!

Eh, I went here this past weekend for a pedicure because my typical place was booked up. It was a little crammed and dated on the inside. The pedicure itself was ok, and I called ahead and there was no wait when I arrived, which deserves a star in my book. The nice back massage while my toes dried was a nice addition, but overall, I just wasn’t wow-​ed. It’s just your typical run of the mill pedicure. There are better places in the valley for the same price, that I think provide better service.

I really wanted to like this place like everyone else. Unfortunately, I do not like the manicure I got. Yes, I was taken as soon as I walked in. Yes, the salon is clean and friendly. My biggest complaint is that my manicurist did not listen to what I was saying. I got a pink and white gel manicure. As she was doing the white, I kept asking her to take off more white as it was too much for my nailbed. I have very short nailbeds and need the illusion of having longer ones– hence getting my nails done and having more pink, less white. She kept saying not to worry, it will be ok. Well, it’s not. If I wanted my nails to be this way, I would have saved the $ 40 and just let my natural nails alone. I decided not to make a fuss there as I needed to get on my way & didn’t have another hour to fix it. So– my nails look weird, I’m unhappy, and I’ll probably go to either Diva or Fresh Nails to have my nails redone. Unfortunately, I’ll have to have tips put on as she grinded my nails quite short. They are also rounded, not squared, as I requested. My other complaint is that my cuticle areas hurt and some bled from the grinding and the skin under my nails also hurt from being grinded with the nails. Never had this before. I will not be returning to this salon :(

I have been a very long time customer but have decided that I just can’t go back. Sure I love the huge selection of colors and the massages while my nails are drying but I am tired of being «nickeled and dimed» for every service.
The final straw came when I took my 9 year old with me to get her nails painted while I had a fill. My 9 year bites her nails so there is file or shape. I was shocked when I had a huge bill at check out. I asked why it was so expensive and Tom, the owner told me that my daughter’s manicure was $ 23!!! I almost fell over! I argued that was insane! He said they did nail art on her nails. Two nails had flowers that neither of us requested! When I told him that he said we should have told her not to do it. Keep in mind my daughter wasn’t seated next to me. He also said she has a massage. I watched him go over and stop the nail tech from massaging her shoulders as soon as he saw her start. I was furious! And then he told me that I needed to start paying full price for her because she is tall! He cut the price to $ 20 for her but I felt completely ripped off!
Despite being a customer for over 13 years I will never go back!

Went to Alexias nail salon four days ago. I read the reviews and everyone was saying great things about them. Mostly about their pedicures. It wasn’t until I left that I had realized why no one had positive reviews about anything else they had done.
I went to the salon asking for the UV gel nails. They asked me if I wanted the basic acrylic nails and I said no. I know the Gel nails had recently come out and are very popular because they are thinner and look more natural. Because of the language barrier I made sure my nail tech new exactly what I had wanted done and repeated what I had wanted several times.
I never had the gel nails done so I didn’t know what to expect. First of all when the technician was prepping my nails she didn’t bother pushing back or cutting my cuticles. I asked her about it and she said «don’t worry we do that last.» I was confused but I figured she knew what she was doing so I let her keep going. She then put these long white plastic tips on my nails and I told her «no, I want the UV gel nails not the acrylic.» She then said «No acrylic, these are gel.» I never had the gel nails done before so I trusted that she knew what she was doing.
When she was done I asked simple nail art which I was told was $ 5 when I had called earlier. The nail tech told me it was $ 20. I started getting aggravated but at this point my nails were almost done. She kept saying she would shape my nails for me the shape I had wanted but told me she couldn’t because they look good as they are. Then when I insisted on it she told me she couldn’t because she would have to start all over again. I was so annoyed I just wanted to have the nail art and shaping done somewhere else. I just paid and left.
I noticed there was something wrong when I noticed my nails lifting the next day. I was in ny for labor day weekend so I had to wait to go back to the salon and have them fixed. Later that day I noticed that the fake nails were digging into my nail beds. That night my friend (who is a nail tech in ny) sent me a video of how the UV gel process works and what theyre supposed to look like afterwards. They looked nothing like my nails. The exact opposite. In comparison my nails were chunky, thick, and uneven. The next morning was when I realized my fake nails turning yellow. I got worried and went to a doctor to see what was wrong. She said I had a bacterial infection from my nails lifting and water being trapped underneath.
I paid $ 65 dollars for acrylic nails (when I asked for UV gel nails) and a bacterial infection!!! I immediately called the salon and a man picked up the phone telling me that I couldn’t have my money back and that I had to pay $ 10 dollars to have the nails I never wanted in the first place removed. When I demanded my money back after telling him what happened he told me I didn’t know what I was talking about AND HUNG UP ON ME!!! I went to another salon to get them removed safely so I could treat the infection. I was told that the nails only lift when they are done the wrong way and the person who did mine obviously didn’t know what they were doing.
I was very upset at this point. After having that awful experience I visited alexia’s because I found a site named «10 questions you should ask before trusting a salon with your nails.» I spoke to the same man who previously hung up the phone on me and now claimed to be the manager. After further investigation I had learned that none of the nail technicians that work there a licensed! The man said, «They know what they do, they don’t need license to do nails!» He yelled at me and at that point I left.
Even though this salon may look clean, it doesn’t mean they are clean. These people aren’t licensed and don’t know what they’re doing. This is the worst experience of life! These people are running a scam and don’t care about their customers. They only care about themselves. I WOULDN’T RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO MY WORST ENEMY!!! DON’T RISK IT!!! Please make sure you ask plenty of questions and do your research when getting your nails done. I wish I did…

I’ve had very mixed experiences here. Sometimes I get great service and my nails look perfect and other times the service is lousy and my nails are sloppy.
When it is good, it is a 5 star. You get a massage and they are clean.
When it is bad it is very bad. One woman gave me a pedi, no massage and rushed through. Later that week my nail was growing into my skin due to a bad file job. Every time I’m here they push gel and when I don’t get it they seem to do a poor job. My mani never lasts a week as it has elsewhere.
On another positive note, I rarely have to wait.
Go here for gels and such, but somewhere else for manis. The pedis are almost always good.

Honestly I am not sure as to how this place has such high reviews. I have been getting my nails done every two weeks for over 3 years and have tried a number of places. This was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had. I am not sure if if is the specific person I had or if everyone is this bad but my nails are not worth the money I paid.
I drove all the way from Bethlehem because I was told it was the best in the Lehigh Valley, but for the money I have had a hundred times better pedicures and refills. The girl spent maybe 15 minutes on my toes and never put lotion or anything on my legs. There’s plenty of dry skin still on the bottom of my feet which means she barely attempted to use the pumice stone.
Also I stated that I needed a refill. I typically get acrylic with the shellac/​gel over top as I am a server and need all the protection I can get. There is polish all over my fingers and cuticles. Also the woman doing my nails continued to make it seem like I was crazy for doing this process even though I know plenty of people who do the same thing.
Do yourself a favor and skip this salon. There are plenty great places that aren’t as expensive and much closer.

They do a great job. You feel pampered the entire time. Very clean, nice staff. Reasonable prices.

I am from Long Island and was in the area so I dropped in for a regular manicure and pedicure after reading the reviews on Unilocal.Being from NY and living in Nassau County, I’m used to paying top dollar for everything. When I read the comments on pricing, I figured these remarks were based on higher than average PA pricing. I was dead wrong! For a no frills mani/​pedi, I paid $ 40!!! And management had signs posted that now (as of ⁶⁄₁), prices will increase to $ 45 for the same service. I’m not sure how they get away with this unless there are not many options in the area. On Long Island and Manhattan, you pay at most $ 30 for those services! And that is if you are desperate! Good points — my girl was very polite and detail oriented, manicure lasted without chipping for almost 4 days, place looked clean. They also have adorable mini pedicure chairs for little girls. Despite all these positives, if I lived in the area, I would not visit again because the pricing is outrageous.

I went to this nail place yesterday and I liked it. It was clean and the staff was nice. I went for a mani/​pedi. I wish they would have spent more time on my feet than they did and they really didn’t do anything special with my mani. I saw other girls getting their hands massaged but my tech didn’t do that. She did massage my shoulders though. it’s a little pricey. I spent $ 60 on both.

Things I look for in a nail salon… is it clean? What are my color options? And then I pray that I get someone who is detail oriented and can put my OCD at ease.
Price is on point $ 30 for a gel mani (no charge for soak off) Regular mani $ 15 (will be increased to $ 18 per management) $ 18 for a regular mani is insane if you ask me. Spend the extra $ 12 and have it last for an extra 2 weeks.
I arrived and was told 10 minutes, 30 minutes later I was shown to another seat and then was told 10 more minutes. once I was seen my nails were soaking and then my tech told me she would be back in 5 minutes
Pros: TONS of OPI polish selections + they give you a nice shoulder massage
Cons: Minimal color options for gel (maybe 20ish) only brand they carry is Shellac
I’ll be back for a pedicure, but the search continues for my manicure.

— by far the BEST pedicure i have ever had in my life and all for $ 30!
— they use so many scented lotions, scrubs, and full length massage
— when your toes are drying you even get a back massage
— they always have the most up to date color choices as well
— Amazing customer service!!! DEF will be back

I’ve been to at least 15 nail salons in the Lehigh Valley. This is absolutely the best! The best pedicure I’ve ever had. Wonderful selection of colors. Clean! Excellent manicure. Wonderful customer service. I will not go anywhere else.

As other reviewers have stated, this really is the best pedicure in the Lehigh Valley.
The price ($ 30) is incomparable, and includes not only the standard foot massage but a shoulder/​neck massage while your toenails are drying.
The pedicure tubs are kept very clean (I’ve had at least a dozen pedicures at Alexia’s and have witnessed the tubs being cleaned after every client), and clean tools are removed from the packaging in the presence of each client. Every surface in the salon is clean, organized, and well-​maintained. Alexia’s also offers the widest range of polish color choices I’ve ever seen. The polishes are numbered, and are consistently organized accordingly. It is easy to arrive with a general color in mind and compare all of the available shades for that color.
The atmosphere is very relaxing. The general lighting in the pedicure area is always dimmed. There are 2 flat-​screen televisions (no sound, just captions), each with a different channel. Individual chairs have spotlights over the tubs, which allow the nail technician to better see what he/​she is doing. The massage chairs are plush and comfortable, and offer a wide range of massage options.
The staff here is exceptional. Phonecalls are always answered within a couple of rings, and every effort is made to accommodate requests for specific appointments and/​or technicians. Of course, appointments are not required. I used to «walk in» regularly, and never had to wait longer than 10 minutes for a pedicure chair. Now, I am a little more familiar with the technicians, and consistently make an appointment with one of my favorites. When I arrive, I am always greeted by at least 2 people, and am directed to the nail polish display to choose a color. The atmosphere is very relaxed: no pressure to hurry. Everyone is very professional and friendly.
My favorite technicians are Thao, Christine, and Tammy. All 3 girls have absolutely delightful personalities. The manicure/​pedicure by Thao was the best I’ve ever had. The results were beautiful and lasted longer than most. She is interesting to talk to and sincerely sweet-​natured. Christine is also so sweet, and the pedicures she’s done for me were consistently beautiful and relaxing. Tammy is so, so nice. Her pedicures are flawless, and she gives the best massages!

This is THE BEST pedicure I have ever had. That is a pretty bold statement. I have had pedicures at high end salons that were great, but this was without a doubt a $ 50 pedicure for only $ 30. I came here by chance, the place I normally go was closed. (they were supposed to be open) I am so glad no one was there because I am never going back!
What makes this place great:
1. Polish is labeled and organized.
2. 11 pedicure stations, with beautiful color glass basins.
3. The massage chair is unbelievable. The seat massages your butt too.
4. The lighting is beautiful. They dim the room and there is mood lighting.
5. Flat screens that are on captions so you don’t have to listen to the TV.
6. My nail tech was awesome! She was friendly and gave the BEST massage. It was so relaxing, I feel wonderful!!!
7. The leg and foot massage is long, and very relaxing. I was there for over an hour and 20 minutes!
8. The fish tank was soothing, so was the wall fountain.
9. While my toes were drying, She gave me a shoulder and neck massage that was so relaxing.
10. SUPER CLEAN! She unwrapped new tools in front of me before she started.
I am going back here, I am telling everyone I know, and getting gift certificates for friends. I wasn’t going every month to get a pedicure, but now I can’t wait to go back!!! See you there!!!
