Gorgeous Nails

Super fast, courteous service. I cannot imagine going anywhere else, nor are the previous an accurate depiction. No, this is not a glamour spa and no, there are no surcharges for décor or fluffy girls with attitudes in those fancy schmancy joints which require an appointment and a deposit for a $ 15 service… BUT… You will get honest, outstanding work in a timely, pleasant manner and THAT beats the prissy places all day, every day.

Extremely disappointed — after coming to this place pretty regularly for the last 2 and a half years (about every 4 or 5 months and only because it’s closer to my work than my regular salon) and receiving okay to mediocre services, I still came because I liked the people and they were usually pretty accommodating for someone who needed a quick full set or fill on an hour lunch break. But my most recent experience is what ultimately drove me to writing this review.
I came in at the end of last week needing a quick fill. First off, they have a horrible selection of gel polishes but I always looked past this because of the fact that they aren’t overly priced like most salons these days. I’ll give them that. But it cancels out when the quality is so poor; I guess you get what you pay for, fine. Driving home, I glanced down while stopped at a stoplight to realize he did not even bother to paint the tips of my fingernails, and on top of that had missed several corners. Every one of my nails had one or more obvious flaws. The next day the gel polish started lifting and chipping away. As I paid 10 extra for the gel, I was understandably pretty upset.
This afternoon, I finally found the time to drive up there to have them fix THEIR mistakes. I was very nice about it, considering how annoyed I actually was. Instead of offering some kind of apology and any kind of effort at all, I stared at like I was insane. They tried to place the blame on me, saying I «must have peeled them or been too rough on them.» They said I could come back the next day or later on this weekend. Are you kidding me? My nails look awful! I asked him why he couldn’t take the 5 minutes to do it today. He just kept shaking his head no… I told them I would just go somewhere else, and they didn’t care at all. In fact all he had to say was «okay» and walked away. So rude! I left knowing I would never again come back here and from now on I will take my business elsewhere. I’m a good customer and it’s their loss. There’s plenty of other great salons in the area.
I would just think that from a business owners perspective, taking care of a mess up like that should be treated a high priority. Otherwise you not only risk losing that customer but potentially many others when that customer is fed up enough to share their bad experiences. From now on, I will spend the extra 10 dollars across the street at Posh Nail Spa. Do not spend your hard earned money here, it really is not worth it.

This place has super friendly staff and inexpensive services. I will not get my nails or eyebrows done anywhere else in Cary.

I was completely put-​off by this salon. I’ve been to salons in many different cities, and this has to be one of the worst I’ve visited. The staff was unprofessional – watching videos on their laptops and leaving in the middle of doing my nails for a mysterious 10 minutes in the back room. They also have credit card minimums. I wanted to like this place but was disappointed.

I agree with Melissa. I’m not sure if the original poster went to a different salon or what but I was very un-​impressed with Gorgeous Nails.
First, as I was picking a color the nail tech was standing next to me watching me. I felt totally rushed to choose a color, which I did not appreciate at all.
Then the pedicure started. It was a Sunday and the salon was empty yet she still rushed. I was in and out of the chair in about 15 – 20 minutes.
The only reason I gave this place 2 stars was because the actual pedicure came out pretty decently, they are open on Sundays, and because they accept competitors coupons. If you’re going to try this place I suggest scouring the money mailer website or
to find a coupon for a $ 20 pedicure and use that.

I’m not sure if the person above me went to a different salon or what but I went after reading that review and was soooo disappointed. It is your run of the mill no one speaks English rush you along nail salon. I had a spa pedicure and the dude rinsed the callus scrubber after using it on me and put it back in the drawer. He also did a too thin layer if polish you could see thru in places! I had gel tips done and they were lifting and chipping in days. Go somewhere else.

I was TOTALLY impressed with this nail salon. They keep it (and the tools they use) very clean and the nail techs aren’t rushed like in many places. They pay attention to small details like putting a towel over my lap as I was getting my pedicure because I was wearing a dress. They also gave me helpful tips on how to manage my dry, dry, cuticles… soo cool! They also have the largest selection of the new Shellac nail enamel – don’t know what it is? It sooo rocks, go check it out.
The prices are very reasonable for a mani/​pedi (around $ 50 w/​o Shellac) and the quality of their services rival some of the upscale salons such as Aveda minus the green tea they give you. Go! Enjoy!
