Cure Nails and Spa

I took my mother here on a Saturday at 4:30 for pedicures. She had a conference in Old City, so I Unilocaled a nail place nearby. Cure was an awesome find! I had made reservations, so we were sat right away. I was dumb and didn’t wear pants I could roll up, so I missed the full leg massage experience, but my mother loved it. The massage chairs are new and felt really good. The ladies who work there are so attentive and kind. It was so nice to have such personal attention. They shaped and polished my nails perfectly. I would liked to have had my feet filed and buffed more but that was really my only issue. As we sat under the dryer, they gave us shoulder massages included in the price of the pedicure. I didn’t know this in advance, but they give 10% discounts if you pay in cash ($ 27 instead of $ 30 per pedicure) so make sure you bring enough cash! They also give you a rewards card where once you have 10 treatments of any time, you get a 10 minute foot or back massage or $ 7 off a regular priced service. I really enjoyed my time here and I’ll certainly be back.

Love this place. They do a fantastic job with pedi and gel can’t speak for other services but i’m sure they are all comparable. Everyone is super friendly and personable. The atmosphere is chill and comfortable and clean. There is always either jazz or classical playing — amazing a difference great and appropriate music makes.

Wonderful experience! I’m not into getting my nails done very often, but was in town for my son’s wedding. Shop was very clean and friendly and helpful. Even included a back massage while waiting for nails to dry! I had had a gel manicure a week prior to my arrival in Philly. It was already peeling off, so I needed an emergency manicure. Cure Nails recommended and used a long lasting regular (not gel) polish which is still holding up 8 days later, and it was only $ 18, as opposed to a gel finish at $ 35. Freddie (?) did a beautiful, thorough job! Next time I visit my son in Philly I will definitely visit Cure Nails!

Just got a polish change here. My nail technician did a fantastic job. She took her time and was very precise and my nails look awesome as a result. Also-​received a long neck/​shoulder massage when I was drying which most places normally don’t give you with just a polish change. I highly recommend this nail salon and will definitely be back!

Very sweet girls, great job on mani/​pedi. Lots of massages! A+!

I had my first «cure» a couple weeks ago. Ann did a fabulous pedicure followed by a neck and shoulder massage (which came as a surprise to me but apparently is included with the pedi). The salon is serene, with classical music playing in the background. It was a lovely experience that I hope to repeat often!

My daughter (6…and ¾s) and I went to Cure for the first time today. We both left with feet that felt fresh and pretty (great pedicures), but what we most enjoyed were the people. We had a delightful time speaking with the Fretti (sp?) and Sarah that did our nails. Both are warm, interesting, and lovely people and the pleasure of visiting with them made our experience exceptional.
Cure is a clean, pretty environment, well-​located in Head House square, pedicures are great, staff is fantastic.

I am really careful when dealing with my toe nails. I have been trying to find a good nail salon who really understand how to treat fragile nails like mine. I went to Society Hill to visit my friend last week, and she recommended me to a new nail salon. We wound up went together to the salon. When we got there, the salon was packed. One of the ladies, which I found out later on that she’s the owner, asked if we could come back in one hour. I was hesitant, but my friend, who is their regular, agreed right away.
We came back an hour later, and there were two new faces sitting on the waiting area. I thought we would end up getting rejected again, but to my surprise, the owner who previously asked us to come back later came to us and asked what kind of service that we need. After politely explained about our situation to the two ladies who were still waiting for their services, the owner took us to pedicure chairs.
I got a mani-​pedi. I have in-​grown nails on my big toes which often caused accident whenever I had pedicures. As their first time customer, I didn’t trust the lady who did my nails. I watched her when she cut my nails and cuticles. She did a really good job with my toes. Even though the salon was in rush hour, she cut my cuticles carefully and gently cleaned all the dirt inside my nails. The most important thing is: I didn’t get any bleeding at CURE compared to other salons who just roughly did my nails.
The service here is great. The price is reasonable. I paid $ 45 for a mani-​pedi. I also got a free back massage while waiting for my nail polish to dry. I couldn’t ask for more! I am happy that I finally found a great nail salon even though it is a little bit far from my house. But hey, I can visit my friend and do my nails at the same time. It’s like killing two birds with one stone!

Really love this salon! We spent some time in old city /​Penns landing during the 4^th of July weekend. My friend and her beau were visiting from out of town … And when our male counterparts decided to pop into Buffalo Billiards for a round or two of pool … Ashley and I knew we had to find a more female friendly equivalent! After trekking through parts of old city and south street only to find most salons closed on the 5^th of July (who knew?!?), we turned to Unilocal in search for a 5 star salon for a mani /​pedi!
Alas we found cure and called to tell them we were in route! They were able to accommodate us immediately, as they were just finishing up another client. Cute little tucked away salon, professional stylists (engaging, but didn’t talk our heads off or try to tack on extra services i.e. «Gel is much better» or «you sure you don’t want your brows waxed?») who can execute flawless polish jobs!!! So pleased at my mani/​pedi! Adding this to my short list of favorite salons and I will certainly be back!

I love this place.
I get my gel nails done here and Fretti is awesome!
There’s a lot to love about this nail salon, but my absolute favorite is that they do not overbook. I get stressed out when I go to some nail salons in Center City where the place is packed and there are 10 people waiting. Everything feels rushed. I get my nails to feel relaxed over the weekends, and that’s exactly the experience you get at this nail salon.
I pay $ 35 (before tip) for my gel nails… it’s worth every dollar. My nails lasts a solid 2 weeks and Fretti makes sure my nails are done perfectly. Should I also mention that they not only give ONE amazing massage, but TWO? What more can you ask for?
I always have great conversations with Fretti & Anne:)

I’ve been meaning to review since my first visit. This place is top notch. I’ve been telling everyone about it, but now I’m nervous to share. It’s that good. Clean, friendly, reasonable, and fantastic manicures. I haven’t tried a pedicure yet, but hear they are amazing. Ann is both talented in her abilities and friendly. She remembered me from my first to second visit. There’s something old school about the way she treats her clients. It’s so refreshing.
I’ve been trying to stay away from gel manis since they ruined my nails (too many solid months of constant gel). I usually don’t bother with regular manicures because I’m so active with my hands and they almost always chip within hours. I’ve had three manicures at Cure now and they all lasted 4 days or more. Amazing! I also walk out with dry nails. I don’t know how they do it (quick dry top coat, top of the line dryers, magic?) Whatever it is, I’m hooked.

This place is great! It’s very clean and quiet, and it feels more spa-​like than a quick in-​and-​out nail salon. The woman who gave me my pedicure was very very nice, and she did a great job. The foot massage with the pedicure was longer than most places; they were running a special that day, so I also got a free hot stone massage with the standard foot massage. She also gave me a shoulder/​back massage while my toes dried.
The prices aren’t bad — I think pedicures normally run $ 30 there. They had a deal going on the day I went, and it looks like they routinely have specials advertised on the sandwich board in front of the shop. This is definitely my go-​to nail salon from now on!

What a great nail salon. We were greeted immediately with a friendly smiles. I had the sweetest lady do my nails. She made them so beautiful. I also got TWO back massage — one when I was waiting for my old gel manicure to come off and while my nails were drying. I asked about another massage and for 15 minutes and $ 15 dollars more, I got a foot massage. Loved every minute and worth every penny.
The salon is clean and pretty. The ladies were kind and the prices reasonable for a nail place. They even laughed at my jokes.
I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Visit Cure Nails when went to short business trip to PA. Ann doing a great job coloring my nails. Neat. The color she choose for me is so pretty. Luv it !
The place is new, clean and relaxing. Oh, I took a complete package mani & pedi spa.
For first time customer /​first visit, she gave me 20% discount. I am not sure if this apply to all first time customer or only for certain promotional period.
Highly recommended.
thanks for the good service and awesome job, Ann ! Will visit your place again next time.

Ann did a great job on my gel manicure! The customer service is so much better than Nail Polish Bar down the street (I highly recommend NOT going to Nail Polish Bar, just don’t). At Cure there was a great selection of nail colors and I could tell that polishes were new and well-​taken care of rather than the old, basically out bottles that most other salons use. Ann gave such great attention to detail on my nails from start to finish. The two massages were icing on the cake. They also have great deals — Monday-​Wednesday it’s $ 5 off!
