Nail Talk Tan & Spa

It was freezing outside and this place is close to home so I dropped by for a pedicure. On entrance the person greeting was a little rude but I decided to brush. I had a color in mind so to speed up the process I showed them the pic. and asked them if they carried it and they just seemed confused. so I picked a color and went to the chair.
She took out a metal box of tools and I got very nervous. I have been to a few salons and this was the first time that I saw tools coming out of a box and I had no idea if they had been cleaned or not. I asked her not to cut my cuticles and she was bit rough on pushing them back. The final product was nails I could have done at home and more sanitary because after she used to tools on me she haphazardly sprayed them with acetone and wiped and back they went. Usually I have seen them left in chemical water and even microwaved sometimes. The clincher she wanted to fix one of my nails and she used the tool and without cleaning it plonked it back into the box. On top of that, my nails started chipping 2 days later
Not going there again.

I went to Nail Talk today for a gel mani and regular pedi. All in all a horrible experience and one I will never repeat again. I had two technicians and both were awful.
They rushed through every step of the process. I get mani/​pedis regularly and they skipped some of the standard steps in a mani/​pedi and were extremely rough with their tools. I am not overly sensitive at all but still I had to speak up several times to tell them to stop jamming their tools into my cuticle bed. Instead of apologizing or changing their technique, they rudely muttered it was my fault I’m so sensitive. I actually had to tell one, «it’s ok. You can go slowly»
The technician completing my mani was so shoddy, he got gel all over my fingers as well as lint and nail filings under the coats of gel on my nails. They used old towels and old tools which is a big NO NO!
I am not overly picky when it comes to mani/​pedis but I know the difference between a good one and bad one. I also believe you should get what you pay for. At $ 53, you should be getting service above average, especially considering all the nail salons in the area. This was beyond terrible and I highly recommend you go elsewhere for your nail services.

Not happy! Third time with the SNS nails and they don’t last. Spoken with several friends that have the same type and this salon does do enough coats of the base and color, so it chips and wears off! I went back to have one repaired and they could not match it !!! They only offer About 15 colors. Then the guy seemed mad because I could not remember the color number or how may times I had had them dipped !!! He continued to ask me and then asked me why I did not know ! I now have 9 nails one color and 1 a few shades off !! They are fast because they have so many people working there but I think they are too fast and not taking the time to do it right ! I will never go back !!!

This is the last time I’m coming to this location. The first time I got a manicure and a pedicure, my pedi was subpar at best. The water was cold and when I asked them to add hot water, they gave me a splash of lukewarm water. Not acceptable but fine, I decided I would only go there to get my nails done in the future. Never again for my feet. The first few times I’ve gotten a full set, solar nails with white and dark pink powder. That has never been a problem until my most recent visit. I told the guy at least 3 times I want dark pink for my fill. He gave me regular pink anyway… seriously? So now my nails have a line of demarcation and they look like I still need a fill. Why? Well because the rest of the nail has dark pink with a regular pink fill in. Not to mention the guy that was doing my nails was laughing with his coworker about a difficult customer. It wasn’t me because I typically won’t complain too much or put up a fuss, I’ll just Unilocal about it and I won’t go back. Point is, that could’ve easily been me viewed as a difficult customer because I correct something or mention I want another coat of polish as the young lady did. This place is not really expensive but regardless of how much it costs, if you must talk about customers can you wait until they leave or when other customers can’t tell you’re talking about other customers? I digress… won’t be back though.

Not coming back here again. My manicure was a horrible experience. I had a man, who I will not call out because I don’t want him to get fired over something like this so I hope he knows who he is and will do a better job next time!
So the guy cut my cuticles too short until they started bleeding TWO TIMES on two different fingers. My thumb was the worst. It kept bleeding until I had to ask someone to get me a bandaid. He just said sorry and didn’t offer any compensation, I MEAN HELLO I’M LEAVING IN WORSE SHAPE THAN I CAME IN! So I had to ask the manager for a discount which they gave me half off. I’ll give them two stars for offering me the discount.
MANAGEMENT PLEASE TRAIN YOUR EMPLOYEES
ON MANICURES! It’s REALLY PAINFUL when someone cuts your cuticles too short and it ruins the whole relaxing experience.

Had a manicure here. Took nail polish off after 11 days and had nail fungus on my fingernail! After urgent care, pricey prescriptions, and that it can take up to a year to get rid of… This place should not be doing business like this. They are using unsanitary and used equipment.

I used to frequent this salon until I started looking for a salon closer to home. I stopped by here on a Friday because it’s close to my office and I had a few hours to spare.
It’s weird to say this, but I used to think this place felt luxurious with the décor, but now all that stands out to me is how there are so many nail techs. The only word that came to my mind once I sat down was «sweatshop.» All techs wear the same apron and carry their own tools. My usual salon is a little smaller, but it actually feels quieter and more relaxing than the buzz of noise here. Let’s move on, though.
Decent selection of polishes, lined tub, pre-​packaged tools, and service was good. My tech was attentive when I told her I mostly needed calluses removed. It’s an extra $ 5 for callus remover on top of a basic pedicure. I appreciate that she was able to get my feet smooth without hurting me, but gentle enough where she got the job done. They also add a complimentary shoulder massage, but I declined. After tip, this is much more than what I usually pay for at my usual salon.
I think I’ll stick to my usual and just come back here only if I need to.

I recently started working in the Dunwoody area so I needed to move my nail salon too. I get pedicures every 2 weeks and occasionally a manicure. Maybe I’m biased because I loved my old salon in Inman Park. Their services were good but affordable, you got a complimentary glass of wine with each service, and everyone was friendly and could have a conversation with you.
I’ve tried a couple of places in Dunwoody. What I liked about this one is that they have a lot of colors to choose from and even have some new polish types I haven’t seen before. They do offer wine for $ 5 per glass so, if it’s one of those says, you’re set. What I didn’t like is that they hide the fact that they have a basic pedicure from you. They give you a menu of services that doesn’t list it other than referencing it in relation to the deluxe. When I asked the girl about it you could tell she got visibly grumpy when she found out I only wanted the basic. She didn’t even bother cutting my toenails and just filed them a little and left them too long. I tried to be friendly and ask her questions and talk but it was clear she didn’t understand me because she would either not answer or answer a different question.
So, overall okay experience. I’ll probably go back since they have the best selection I’ve seen. But not the enjoyable experience I was hoping for.

I have been here several times, always hit or miss. It seems that the evening staff is better than the day staff. I went there today in the middle of the day. It was very quiet and not busy at all. I asked for a mani/​pedi. The foot/​leg massage was awful. The girl was distracted the whole time. The girl doing the mani took forever. I was twisted in the chair, and even after the pedi was done, she didn’t want to move from her spot. I was there an additional 40 minutes for the mani! While my friend and I were sitting there, we could smell cigarette smoke. Somebody checked in the break room, and people must have been smoking in there or outside the back door… but it was coming into the salon. It happened 3 times while we were there. Unacceptable and I won’t be going back. I have been to other places that are way better, and the staff is nicer.

This was so gross. Ask am sure a lot of places do this I saw it first hand. They do not sterilize. They wash off instruments in sink then look around and put in a sterilization pack and put back in their box. Infections are going to spread like wild fire. This should be taken care of. I work in the health field but this is a major down fall and I had to leave once I saw that with nails unfinished.

Visited Nail Talk as part of a group from work last Wednesday. I was very pleased with their service. The young lady who did the stone pedicure with massage was fabulous. The gentleman who did my manicure was a miracle worker. I have short natural nails that he transformed. I really appreciated this totally relaxing spa experience. The salon was very clean. Their products smelled pleasant and left my skin silky smooth and smelling good. THANK YOU Nail Talk. I can’t wait to come back.

There is a lot going on at this place. Lots of chairs. They will try to upsell the pedicure and it’s really no different from the basic besides they may give you a sugar scrub. They are very expensive for this type of salon. You could go to a real spa for these prices and get better service.
I wish I could remember the name of the tech who did my pedicure because you’ll want to avoid her. My pedicure was far from relaxing. She was extremely rough. She cut me several times. I felt beat up when she was done. She distracted me from the gel manicure I was receiving which is what saved this visit.

This place is very clean and the service is excellent. All of the staff are very friendly.

I absolutely love this place! Especially CoCo. Best foot massage on the planet. :)
The space is quite large, so the wait, if there is one, is never usually that bad. With the deluxe pedicures that start at about $ 32, you get a neck massage in addition to everything else. I highly recommend it though!
Everyone is always very friendly and you will always leave feeling like you walked on a cloud. Ahhhhh

Wonderful atmosphere. Beautifully decorated. Kind courteous staff. I came in with my elderly grandmother and they treated her with dignity and respect. The gentleman that did my nails was very gentle and light-​handed. My nails came out beautifully. The lady that did my eyebrows did an amazing job because my eyebrows were a total lost cause! My grandmother had a wonderfully relaxing experience. She was so happy. Grinning from ear to ear. I’m so happy that we came here today. I’m going to keep coming back here. :-)

Not bad for a mail nail salon. I just wanted a quick polish change but I thought it was strange that they offered a hundred choices (like they do when you get a gel manicure), then when I picked not one but two colors, they didn’t have either one! A little odd. Normal places have a wall of colors as they do but they don’t let you pick your color… they tell you to look at this circular thing with all colors but then tend to not have 95% of them. It was odd but she did a good job and I was happy with the result.

I was in a bind and didn’t get a chance to paint my own nails one weekend so stopped by this salon for an extreme quick visit. I told the salon manager that I wanted a quick gel polish manicure and didn’t have time for a full service manicure. It was perfect. My manicurist was efficient and took care of me in less than 30 minutes.
My nails looked fresh and really maintained its color, shine and polish for the past 2 weeks. For $ 20 you can definitely get a speedy gel manicure and have fantastic lasting results. I found out that the owners of this location also one the one in Town Brookhaven and their Midtown location. Be sure to stop by if you’re in the area. They offer solid service and results!

Sadly, I went here yesterday to have a gel polish manicure. I am not a professional, but I usually do my own at home since I bought the UV light online. But due to laziness, I decided to have them done professionally this week before I head to Mexico for the holiday. Well… Less than 24 hours later, 6 out of ten nails are bubbled up with sir pockets and 2 of those are already separating from my nail tip!!! I am most definitely going in tomorrow to get a full refund!

I’m really up in the air about this place… Yes I’m usually annoyed when I walk into a nail shop and there aren’t any pedi chairs available, but this place is over the top dot com! It’s like a pedicure sweatshop! Seriously… There are like 50 or more chairs in there!
I was so confused when I entered the place, which made me feel both awkward and uncomfortable, that I was about to leave until cl someone «instructed» me to pick a color… Umm. Ok. I’m getting shellac… No answer, she just walked me to my chair and told me to take my shoes off.
The guy who was about to perform my surgery was nice, although he and two other people asked if I WAS GETTING A MANICURE… P. s. I hate attempts at soliciting more services. I am not an indecusive person and know what I want. Anywho. He worked magic!
What ever happened to typical pedicures? Why all of a sudden does these rinky dink places offer spa type packages with hole in the wall polishes, customer service, and products? Weird… So I went with the $ 35 package (plus my shellac… $ 60 before tip)
The head, neck/​shoulder message was a little awkward too but only because I am not used to that in a nail salon… Moving on…
I finished and he asked if I could tip him in cadhe… Ahh. No. I don’t carry cash… its coming. from the same place though.
Overall, will only return if my favorite spot in Atlanta is full to capacity… The service here is not worth my money.

Seriously, BIGGEST nail salon I have ever seen! It has about 70 chairs with about 40 nail techs running around. I was amazed. The place seemed to be very busy with tons of people, but I was quickly sent to pick a color and then seated in a chair for my pedicure.
They have a variety of pedicure options, which I wasn’t expecting. So I picked the deluxe one. My nail tech was probably trying to make a bigger sale because she then asked me if I wanted to do a different one for only $ 2 more. I actually hate when people do that because I obviously read over the choices and picked one already. So I said no. However, the deluxe pedicure comes with a cooling mask for your legs. Never had that done before, kind of cool. (pun intended, ha.) Pedicures also come with a massage! Awesome! It’s a quick forehead, shoulders, neck massage, but still a nice touch. (another pun intended. =X haha.) I was weary at first when she offered me the massage, thinking that this is a way for them to upcharge me. So I asked if it’s extra, and she said no, included. Nice.
I left with a good manicure and pedicure. Although, my manicure DID take a VERY long time. I don’t know what was up with that nail tech, but it was really the slowest I’ve ever gotten a manicure. Maybe he was a perfectionist? My butt got tired of sitting in that seat!
