Bensalem Nails

I love this nail salon! Emily is my favorite. She always does a great job! They always accommodate me whenever I need an appointment. I love the neck rub when getting a manicure. Also the prices are reasonable. I would encourage anyone to try them.

I used to work at a nail salon so I understand the process of how things should be done.
My experience wasn’t as well as other Unilocalers. My massage was weak and they didn’t scrub my feet nor trim my cuticles and get rid of dead skin. I’m usually sensitive so a good massage would be ticklish for me but it felt like she was just running her hand along my calf. The hot stone massage wasn’t all that good either. It was just something warm running up and down my legs. All these could be done by myself.
Now for polish, my toes aren’t the worse, pretty normal actually compare to some I’ve work with. She did a good job painting it but I came for the whole package so I’m a bit disappointed overall. If I just wanted good a good polish, I woulda paid $ 10 instead of $ 22.
I’m giving them 2 stars for good polish.

decided to come here because I have gotten a pedicure before here and it was decent. Bad idea I went in for a simple manicure with a design and they suggested gel. Number one if you are going to suggest gel color you should know how to do it and not have to ask someone how to do it each step. then after all was said and done I left and went to a different store and went to grab something off a shelf and realized that my nails were tackey still wet not dried properly. I went back to see if they could fix and I was told that’s how gel is and that it seems it bc I wouldn’t get acrylic on my nails. I was told sorry can’t help you. never going back there again and I suggest that no one patronize this nail salon will now be looking to go somewhere else to get my nails repainted today

Oh my gosh, the worst experience I had today. I went for full legs, full hands waxing and a french gel manicure. The lady who did waxing got tired and went to rest for 20mins making me seated. I waited for about 45mins and then she came to do my manicure !! She did not trim my nails properly, she dint even did my cuticles properly. When I asked her to do properly, she rudely replied me «I know how to do. Don’t tell me.» I was like what ?? I am paying money and you need to do properly !! She did not even apply a base coat. When I asked for it, she again rudely «this gel polish don’t need a base coat». I was like okay. She dint even applied my french polish properly. It is so un even. And she dint even applied top coat properly. I gave her 25 $ for this manicure which is not at all worthy !!

I used to love coming here– my gel manicure would last 3 weeks!!! But the last 3 times I’ve come, it’s only lasted a week (if that!!!) not sure what happened, but I’m going to start trying another salon.

They want the tip before they start the work. I took my kids here and they want the tip before they do any work. As if they determine the quality only if you give them a good tip. They never covered the entire nail.

Great hidden treasure in Bensalem. I’m recommending this salon to my friends. Good idea to book an appointment. It gets crowded…

They have great pedicures here! I always get the spa pedicure, it’s longer and has extras! They usually are busy though so make sure you have some time set aside.

Two weeks ago, I went to this salon for the very first time. I’ve had an acrylic wrap for a bit over 6 months and my nails grew very long. I missed my short nails and was a little tired of the constant fillings, filing and cutting so I wanted to remove the acrylic and get a manicure and start fresh.
My first impression of the place as I walked in was that it’s pretty clean and everyone seemed to be serious about their work. There was no one near the entrance, however, to greet me and ask what service I was interested in… as with other salons that I go to. I glanced across the room and an Asian lady speaking on the phone signaled me to come towards her to tell her what I wanted.
I soaked off the acrylic. She came to me every couple of minutes to shave off some of the melted acrylic. I soaked under a little lamp and she covered my hand with a towel I guess for comfort. Everything was clean, no complaints up to that point.
Now, where it didn’t go too well.
There was still a bit of acrylic on my nails, at the point where she wanted me to stop soaking. She wanted to use the electric filer to shave down the rest of the acrylic. As we all know, after removing acrylic, nails are very brittle, fragile and sensitive so this was NOT a good idea. She was practically taking my frail and brittle nail bed with it too! I guess she had no other customers at the moment and wanted to get me out of the way. I kindly requested to soak instead for a few more minutes. I believe this should’ve been an obvious alternative for a nail professional, seeing how thin my nails were.
Then, a man came and removed me from the soaking and started using the electric filer again to even out my nails, practically my nail bed. We do not have much «nail» after dealing with acrylic smh. Doubt i want to go the acrylic route again, seeing how much it damages nails but that’s a different topic. After I said ouch, the lady took over.
She did not trim my cuticles nor do anything that is typical of a manicure. After filling my nails, she immediately applied the nail polish. I left it at that and was actually glad it was over.
I remember reading about the eyebrow service on Unilocal so I requested to get my eyebrows done before I left. I asked her not to make them thin. Of course, she practically eliminated the outer half of both brows. I do not understand why «clean up» or «not thin» gets interpreted as «leave the inner half somewhat thick and chop off the rest.»
Then I told her it was my first time here and she appeared a bit antsy being that she wasn’t giving me the best of services. An ideal nail salon will treat the usual customers and even the unfamiliar ones the best so they can come again.
I give them three stars for the cleanliness and environment. I wasn’t really happy with my nails or eyebrows. I’ve never done anything else here as this was my first time so that’s as far as my review goes.
Would I ever return here? Not very sure about that.

My first review was great but I have stopped going to Bensalem nails and this is why… They’re always in a hurry never take their time they don’t care if you walk out of there with sloppy nails are sloppy toenails they’re always on the phone their cell phone. I don’t understand how the owner allows this it is beyond my comprehension.

Horrible pedí besides the free hot stone she didn’t even clean my feet correct nail polish was crapt brand so didn’t even last 2 days

I’ve been going to this shop for awhile now. It use to be here and there when I was younger typically for special occasions. Now that I’m older I go every other week and I always get gel manicures with crazy designs. I will say that they can get busy in the matter of seconds so call ahead or have enough time to wait for a few minutes. They truly do try their best to accommodate everyone. Very respectful and polite. I always go to Jenny for both waxing and nails. My sister loves Lily and her flare for design. They always give you a massage with any other service, the do multiple packages for pedicures and are on the lower end of prices.

I have to say Hollywood nails is amazing. I came over from Ireland to visit my Mom and I got my nails done, it’s been over 4 weeks and they Havnt lifted at all. Thank you so much

This place is downright AWFUL!!! They 100% water down their products and they are INCREDIBLY rude.
I went in to get a gel manicure with a coworker. The product on my nails was drying strange as if it was WATERY. After the gentleman (who was actually quite pleasant) made his second attempt at redoing the entire manicure we decided I would come back the next day to fix it.
To my surprise when I went to leave the ladies at the front DEMANDED payment. When I refused and stated I would pay when I came back to get them fixed she proceded to get super nasty and actually PATRONIZED me as if I was stupid and not understanding why she was asking me for payment.
Because I am on a business trip and I didn’t want trouble (and these nasty ladies I know would have brought some) I reluctantly agreed to paying for half of the botched nail job with the agreement that I would pay for the second half on my return. Needless to say I will NOT be returning.
At this place, you get what you pay for… crap.

I know when I wrote my 1^st two reviews, I absolutely LOVED the staff, atmosphere, cleanliness, price, and all the «specials» they had to offer for pedicures, ranging from a «basic pedicure» to a «deluxe» pedicure.“
I have to say after my last visit to Bensalem Spa, it WILL be my LAST!
I went one time and decides to get a «Gel Manicure» for the 1^st time b/​c so many women were telling me how gr8 it was to get one and how much the nail polish would last.
I got mine done a few days before Christmas and the «gel» nail polish immediately started peeling off by the 3^rd day.
I went back on the 23^rd of December to get it fixed only to discover my nails were chipping away more by Christmas Eve. :(
So, I had to go back to the salon after Christmas, pay $ 10.00 and get the nail polish removed from my fingers.
Last week, I decided to treat my mom to their «deluxe» pedicure package.
I MUST say I pay $ 100.00 for both, which includes a 20 minute massage, hot stone massages on our legs, and paraffin on our feet, and it wasn’t nearly worth ½ of the money!
The girl who did my feet did NOT smooth out the dryness on the bottom of my feet and she seemed like she didn’t know what she was doing!
The whole time she was talking to another person who was doing my mom’s pedicure in her pedicure, in the meantime, I see the «male owner» of the mani/​pedi place taking a «nap» on one of the massage chairs!
He had his shoes off and everything!
He was sound asleep!
After my mom and I got done with out pedi’s, we got our eyebrows waxed.
As soon as we put our feet under the «lights» to be dried, we could see my mom’s nail polish coming off her toes!
They had to repo list her toes all over again b/​c there was any nail polish left.
What really and truly angered me the most was that when I paid the bill, I paid for everything and gave both the woman who did my mom’s and I’s pedi’s a descent tip.
As one of the ladies was ringing us up, she asked me how much of a tip I was going to be leaving the woman who did our eyebrow waxing?
I was confused by this b/​c I honestly believe that the person who does your mani/​pedi should also do your waxing too.
But, I was constantly being «questioned» over and over again about tipping the woman who waxed our eyebrows.
I gave the cashier $ 20.00 ($ 10.00 for each girl that did my mom and I pedi’s) and she was still inquiring about where the money was for the girls who waxed our eyebrows?
I could NOT believe she was actually sitting there in front of my face and trying to divide the money up so everyone got their «fair share» and since she couldn’t figure it out, she kept asking me for more money!!!
I am so happy that I did NOT give her anymore money b/​c my mom are very dissatisfied with the service and now my toenail polish is coming off after 1 week of getting it done.
I come to the place to have a «relaxing» experience; NOT to be harassed for tips and half-​dozen jobs.
They lost 2 customers here!

I was passing by and decided to try out a new salon, as the reviews looked pretty good. I walk in, they don’t even notice me until I start walking closer to the stations. I wait for about 20 minutes to finally be seated.
The man, one of the owners I’m guessing starts doing my nails, while he’s cutting my cutie, it does it so hard that my index finger starts to bleed. Fast forward to polish time, he gets up and does some other matter while an older woman (maybe his wife?) goes to paint my nails in the color I brought myself. She does a HORRIBLE job. I wish I was exaggerating. I didn’t even notice until I got to my car. It’s uneven, and smudged all over my hands and fingers. Mind you I waited 15 min at the dryer thinking I was done. She missed some spots of the color on the end of my nails that could only be seen once I went outside.
Not a good experience at all. Never coming back.

I’ve been doing nails for about 7 years so I would consider myself an expert in distinguishing the difference between a good nail salon and a not so good one. My friend and I decided that we would treat ourselves to a pedicure so I Unilocaled around and found Bensalem Nails. Even though this place had good reviews I had to try it myself and I’m glad that I did!
We came around 6 on a tuesday evening and we were greeted immediately. We went on to pick a color. We were really indecisive with picking our color however, the ladies didn’t rush us one at all, which I appreciated. We both sat down and the water was perfect. Throughout the whole pedicure she took her time and made she I was relaxed and enjoying my pedicure.
This $ 22 pedicure included your standard routine with the cutting of the cuticles and also a mask and hot stones to make this pedicure even more of an experience than it was. The best part was how cheap it was and how much you got for it! Any girl knows that manis and pedis can get expensive. I would definitely recommend this place!

Gel mani is $ 20 and a pedi is $ 20! By far best prices that I’ve seen around. They also give a coupon for $ 10 off on your 6^th visit. Lily is the best, ask for her!

Stopped in and was immediately seated. Not my usual nail place but they are really quick so be sure you know what you want.
Nothing out of the ordinary experience here. Straight to the point and bonus, they give you a nice shoulder massage during your visit.

I rarely get my nails done but this place is great!
Only $ 10 for the wax dip, massage, and obviously nails.
Everyone there is very nice and friendly !
