Folly Nails

Love this place! They are so helpful and always do great work. Chris is the man!

I had a wonderful experience at Folly Nails! I moved to Charleston a couple months ago and was so happy to finally find a great place to get my nails done. The service was wonderful and my nails came out looking great! Definitely worth the trip to James Island.

Was visiting relatives in Charleston when I desperately needed an acrylic refill. This place was fantastic, well worth the drive for any skeptics. I’ve been getting acrylics for nearly 15 years, and hesitate to go anywhere besides my usual salon because the quality can be hit or miss. This salon, however, went above and beyond expectations. Next time I’m in the area, I will definitely visit again, and I’ve recommended it to all my relatives.

Chris and the gang are great!!! You will not be disappointed! Well worth the trip down Folly Road!

I had a good experience coming here for a basic mani-​pedi. The total cost was $ 37. I didn’t give it full stars because there were a few professionalism type issues… nothing really horrible, just preference. I don’t prefer being talked around when I’m the only person in the shop. Feels unfriendly.
The nail job was okay/​good. I did have uneven nails (filed crooked) when I left and two minor imperfections. The facility appeared clean and well-​cared for.

Hands down, BEST nail salon in Charleston. I refuse to go anywhere else. You are only a stranger once before you walk in the door. Comfortable atmosphere, very friendly staff. Good vibe. They make sure the job is not done unless you are 100% satisfied.
Chris and Jenny: Thank you for taking care of me and Luis

Chris and the crew at Folly Nails were amazing! So welcoming, professional, and funny! Had the best experience today with the rest of the bridal party!!! :)

Took granddaughter for a mani-​pedi last week. Wonderful service and people. She thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
She told her grandma and sister about it and I’m taking them tomorrow.
Very clean and modern.

I treated myself and my sister while we were on vacation… My only regret is that I don’t live here and can’t make this my regular spot! The staff is lovely and welcoming and the salon is clean and inviting… Thanks so much, we will be back next time we are visiting!

I am a fairly new customer and have had good experiences there; the staff is very friendly but on 2 separate occaisions when I made a Sunday appointment; I had to wait so long that I left. If an appointment is made but the hours are too early for anyone to get there then change the hours!

Awesome service, they take their time and don’t rush through and the employees were very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely come back!

I just had the absolute best pedicure of my life :-) it made my whole day. I run a lot so my feet and calves were in rough shape. The massage was the best part! Chris has really strong hands and applied the perfect amount of pressure. It. Felt. Amazing. He told me it was releasing toxins, and I can already feel that tingly feeling! My feet look great but feel even better. I cannot say enough good things about this place. So accommodating, clean, and the quality is unbeatable. Everything is guaranteed too :-)

I’m still so happy with this salon. It’s the best on James Island and possibly the best in Charleston. The work they do is simply superior. Chris and the gang are consummate professionals who love to dote on their customers. Sure it’s a bit of a drive for some, but it’s well worth it.

My nails turned out great. The staff was very friendly and the owner Chris was so sweet and attentive, you can tell he really cares about his business and it shows. Very pleased with the overall experience. I will be returning in the future.

So glad I drove from my hotel downtown to find this spot! Jennie did great on her nail art and the team there is friendly and courteous! I will definitely be back on our next trip!
The salon is next to Harris Teeter, so don’t miss it. It’s worth the drive!

Welcoming and fun experience. Wonderful staff that can keep things moving without making you feel rushed.

I am «salon shy» and hardly ever say a word when I go for pedicures and whatnot. This place has such lovely people — I wandered in and had a wonderful time. They made my day :)
Penny & Chris — thanks so much!

I love Folly Nails. Everyone is so friendly; especially Chris and Jenny. Jenny usually does my nails, and we chit-​chat, and she makes me feel comfortable, like I’m at home. I make sure to always come here. The last time I needed a fill-​in, it was around high school prom time, and they were PACKED/​BOOKED. So, in desperate need of a fill-​in, I went to a different nail salon.
Let’s just say, it’s been proven that Folly Nails is THE BEST. As I mentioned before, Jenny usually does my nails, and I love how sensitive and gentile she is. At this other place, they barely paid attention to me, and would not even fully concentrate on their work, resulting in cuts and burns around my nails…
After that experience, I know now to always go to Folly Nails. They are the best.

I tried Folly Nails after finding a deal for a gel manicure on Charleston Deals. I am glad that I opted in! I called in the late morning and was offered an appointment that evening after work.
The salon is set up in a pretty standard nail salon way. It is clean, simple and doesn’t have any extra unnecessary things. I arrived at my appointment time and only had to wait about 5 minutes– it was mostly me taking my time choosing my color and letting the foot tub fill up. I was serviced by Henry. He was fantastic. He did a fantastic job on my toes and a beautiful job on my french gel manicure. He was gentle, which is nice. Some salons are so rough and just make you feel like it’s being rushed. Their hours were until 7pm, but they were gladly accepting customers up until that point.
I will gladly go back to Folly Nails in the future. I have already recommended it to a few friends– who mentioned doing a girls day at the salon then heading over to the beach. It was super close to the actual beach that when I walked out after my appointment, it smelled like I was standing right on the sand.

I needed to get nail glue… badly! My nail fell off the other day and I left it back at the house. I was headed out to get nail glue at the grocery store and had no luck. Soooo I figured I’d stop into a nail salon to pick one up.
They were a bit hesitant, it seemed, to sell it to me… but the gentleman gave it to me for a dollar… I gave him two instead. Meanwhile, I managed to look over their pricing and everything looked good. I’ll be back to get my nails filled in this weekend, but they definitely saved me with this quick fix.
