Helen’s Nail and Spa

Again, I was able to look passed the costly pedicure ($ 27). Since i was sporting a bump I needed to go somewhere that did not have a strong smell of chemicals. I remembered when i came here almost a year ago there was no harsh stench. I came on a weekday afternoon and was immediately serviced after picking my color. My pedicurist, Emily, did a fabulous job and was such a delight. I hate awkward silence during pedicures but we chatted nicely as she did her thing. Apparently they have a frequent customer card that i did not get the first time i visited, however Helen did provide a $ 10 certificate off my next visit.

I’ve been a very satisfied customer Helen’s Nails for the past two years. I go there consistently for gel manicures and pedicures. I’ve tried several different technicians, all of whom are wonderful. In addition to being meticulous in their work, the staff goes out of their way to make the experience relaxing for their customers. Helen, the owner, is lovely and knows many of the customers by name. Her signature facial is among the best I ever had. I recommend Helen’s Nails without hesitation. You will not be disappointed.

I needed my nails done on Saturday, my regular place was booked until the early evening & I couldn’t wait that long. I work out in the studio next door to Helen ’ s Nail & Spa, so after barre class I walked over and inquired if they could take me without an appointment. Mistake number one.
I walked in & there were three techs working with three clients. Noone said anything, so I just waited at the desk until someone acknowledged me. finally someone looked up & mumbled an annoyed ‘help you??’ I told them I didn’t have an appointment & was wondering if they could fit me in for a manicure. The girl yelled something to the back room then looked at me & said ‘yeah, ok.’ I started to look at the polish & an older lady came out of the back, walked over to where I was & yelled ‘$ 5 dolla more.’ The place was so quiet that when she bellowed at me it was so loud the other people getting their nails done looked up. No greeting, no hello or even a smile — nope. ‘$ 5 dolla more’ I asked her what was $ 5.00 more? She pointed to the OPS Infinite Shine bottle in my hand. I said that’s fine & followed her to a station. I should have left, mistake number two.
I got the impression I was bothering her, like she was in the middle of something when she was called out & was so annoyed that I was there. I’m sorry, but if you couldn’t take me, you should have just said you don’t have an opening & that would have been the end of it. So she zips through my manicure, I pay the $ 18 (still not sure what the $ 5 more is for), tip and she paints my nails. The phone rang, someone answered it, but it was for the woman doing my nails. She takes the call and says to me ‘ok’ — she picked up my purse & car keys and walked over to a drier. She placed my stuff there & left. Oh, I guess I’m done here. She did not say a single word to me. Awkward. I got up & went to where she had dumped my stuff. I dried my nails & left. Noone said bye.
My nails look like crap. I have posted a picture, she got the polish on my skin & there are bubbles all in this mysterious $ 5 more polish. My nails are actually less shiny than they would be with regular polish.
I won’t be going back here again, horrible in every possible way.

On my first visit I was lucky enough to get Helen, the owner. She was very sweet and did an great job on both my manicure and pedicure. She have me a coupon for my next visit and a frequent customer card. y second visit was also good. Different woman, didn’t get her name, but same great service. That was my first time with a gel manicure. She missed an area on my nail and when I showed her she was happy to fix it. Definitely going back and referring them to friends.

Walked in salon not know what to expect. My manicure was one of the best I received in years. The cuticles were pushed and cut with a very gentle touch. I will not have hang nails! Shape and paint was perfect. VERY HAPPY!

I had a rejuvenating facial at Helen’s Nail and Spa and I must say it was worth every penny. My face felt so clean afterwards. Helen was very thorough with her extractions, and as gentle as can be expected. The seat that you lie on is heated and very comfortable/​relaxing. She then works her magic… it’s a blur of steam, warm and cold towels, massage, mask, deep cleaning/​exfoliation, and lotion. Oh, and extractions. They have a special right now where after 3 visits, you can get a free facial. Helen and the rest of the staff were also very sweet. The is a great place to pamper yourself. Highly recommend!

So excited to stumble upon Helen’s Nail Salon this AM while looking for a walk-​in nail salon that opens before 10am in the Haddonfield area! Even better suprise was to be greeted by the new owner, Helen, the former esthetitian at Fantagio! I love Helen’s spirit… and the hours and specials are exactly what I need from a walk-​in nail salon. She is currently running a special for a free facial after (3) over $ 40 visits, which is easy when I get mani/​pedis every few weeks. Yes, it’s a nail salon, but DO NOT miss Helen’s facials… they are divine. Best wishes to her and her warm, welcoming staff.
