Euphoria Nail Bar

My friend and I wandered in here a few months ago and again today. Each time we have had a lovely experience. We have never had to wait over 10 minutes to get put in a chair without an appointment, which is a plus. We were both offered a glass of complimentary wine, which we were more than happy to accept. The service was efficient and delightful. My massage was fantastic and my toes look great. I would definetly recommend this place.

Not sure about the negative reviews, I went here today for a much needed pedicure and had a great experience. Was seen right away, everyone working there was very nice. My pedicure came out great. Prices were cheaper than anywhere else I’ve seen in the area ($ 25 for a basic pedicure). They do take credit cards but cash only tips which is pretty normal.

Friendly staff and nice atmosphere, but VERY disappointed in the quality of my manicure. Gel manicures typically stay on my nails for at least three weeks, looking nice and not chipping. I went to Euphoria for the first time to get a gel manicure. THE VERY NEXT DAY, two of my nails chipped at the tip. I went back and asked for them to be fixed. The man put another layer on top of my manicure. AGAIN, the very next day, one of my nails is completely chipped off. I am not at all happy, and will not be paying $ 30.00 again for a gel manicure that lasts two days.

I just moved to the area and was looking around the neighborhood for nail salons. After going into another nail salon, I decided to stick with Euphoria because they were friendly when I walked in.
My first visit was enjoyable. I was greeted with smiles and friendly attitudes. Winter was very helpful with color matching since I was receiving their special of the gel mani and classic pedi. They definitely know their color selection. The quality of the color brands they use are the best and the polish area is kept clean. I noticed they get busy fast, which is a good sign. They also delegate services in a way that makes sense. First visit with my gel mani and classic pedi was a success.
Second visit was very similar to the first. Even better because they still had the gel mani and classic pedi special going on for $ 45 cash. Cash is king. Also, the atm dispenses $ 10’s if you don’t have cash on you. Like my first visit, they helped me color match my toes to my fingers. This time I had two gentlemen doing my services and they were very polite and efficient.
Over all the quality of services are awesome for the price. I highly recommend the special.

I’m really impressed with the massages I received while getting a pedicure and also while my pedicure was drying. The glass of wine put the icing on the cake. Good service. I’m only giving 4 stars because there were some nagging flies. Other than that an overall good experience.

I stopped in here today for many of reasons but actually having to kill some time before i met up with someone. I decided to get my nails done. The place was clean, there was three women sitting at the nail bar getting their nails done when i walked in. The floor manager was very prompt to assist me with my color selections and what services i would need. I originally requested a gel mani and regular pedi. Due to time restrictions i had to settle for just a pedi. It was no one getting their feet done at the time so that was a blessing i had the whole area to myself. One thing i do like that i wish more salons did. They lined the pedicure basin with plastic major points in my book. I am all for sanitation. My nail tech was a male, i have had bad experiences in the past with men techs in the past. I just let him do his thing. Watching his every move like a hawk, but he did very well. I decided to live a little and treat myself to the sea salt butter pedicure which was $ 32.00. I loved it! He scrubbed my feet and calves with sea salt, followed by a massage with a foot butter and oil. I really enjoyed it to the point i was falling asleep in the chair. The only down fall my feet dont feel soft as they did at the salon now that i am home. That service isnt something ill do on the regular. Once in a while just for the massage alone is good enough for me. I would like to return to try some of their other services.

The only reason I’m giving 3 stars is because they do amazing eyebrows. Nails though? Oh my goodness! My nails looked like a small child did them and they are way too over priced for the quality. I’m disappointed with the owner as well. She was the one who did my nails and after looking around she is the worst technician in there!

I used to go here all the time and loved it and the people but recently I have not been happy. The people I loved haven’t been there and I told Lucy last time I was there that I wasn’t happy with my last pedicure because it chipped and my feet were still rough when I left. She apologized and said she would take care of my pedicure that day. I told her it wasn’t necessary and that I just wanted her to be aware. She insisted anyway but then when I went to pay charged me anyway and didn’t cover anything! They never offer drinks, you need to ask for them and Lucy doesn’t treat the workers with any respect. I am going to try out Mingle this week instead of going back to Euphoria. I would look around before going here.

I refuse to go here again because how poorly the workers are treated by the manager in front of the costumes.

They did such a great job!!! Very professional nd kind. Prices r very reasonable for the quality of work they do. Wynter is an eyebrow queen! She works wonder!!! Another place ruined my eyebrows nd i thought i would have to keep wearing pencil until they grew in but she fixed them nd made them PERFECT. must go to place & u wont be disappointed

This poor review is not due to the sweet girls who work there but due to the manager.
I was told today that I am no longer allowed to get my nails done because I’m in a chair for too long. Seriously! Because I do an accent nail with a design my nails take 30 more minutes.
The manager is Lucy who also claims to be the owner.
She refuses to let people pay by credit card because she pockets the money. Which means she wants to lie on the books and you can’t when you process credit cards.
She serves underage people. So if you want to drink and are only 18, guess you should go.
The people who work there are not able to take breaks at all if the store is busy. It’s 430 and the nail techs have only had breakfast.
There is no price menu listed and she charges differently each time. I mentioned it to her politely last time which I think now is why she is asking me not to return.
I waited four hours once for a specific nail tech and I didn’t complain. In fact, I even spent more money to get a pedi and an eyebrow wax just to fill up time.
I tip my pants off!
Even though Christies next door is always packed, rushed, and not relaxing, you are better off going there.

I’ve come here quite a few times and, like many others, I’m not sure why I keep coming back.
Let me start, Sandy was really great! She was very chatty (although I was exhausted and didn’t want to) and very nice when doing my mani/​pedi. It wasn’t until the end that everything got weird.
I said I wanted to pay before she put polish on and I gave her my credit card and my frequent buyer card that I found in my wallet. Her aunt (not who I previously thought was the owner) yelled across the salon «If we give you $ 2, can you pay in cash?» I didn’t give them a debit card and my bank charges fees for using ATMs. Luckily I had cash and they gave me a small discount. Then she tells me that my buyer card is expired and they don’t use it anymore. She shows me the new one and it’s exactly the same as the one I gave them. Apparently I have to go 10 times in 4 months to utilize whatever discount I get. It was just weird.
THEN when my nails are drying she puts some weird oil on each nail for a quick dry. All it did was create bubbles on every nail. I went 24 hours ago, 3 nails have broken and 8 are chipped. Back to Christie’s I go.

I NEVER EVER POST REVIEWS but I am so upset with the job that was done I thought I’d rather save other people from paying for a horrible experience. I went in on Sunday (3 days ago) and got a gel manicure. The usual place I go was closed and I was desperate. They did such a terrible job! It was all streaky, they needed to put more layers on but I’m not one to complain so I let it be. While my nails were in the UV light for the last time another woman came and gave me a neck massage. Great! But all nail salons do this. When I was done I paid $ 25 for a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE JOB and hesitantly tipped $ 5. I would have felt horrible if I didn’t but at the same time was super disappointed. After I tipped they insisted I tip the other lady who massaged me, and kept bugging me until I did (I was waiting for a friend to be done). Completely unprofessional as I felt they didn’t even deserve the $ 5 after the mess they made on my nails. Now on day 3 my gel is all chipping!!! My normal manicures last longer than this. I will never ever ever ever go there again and hope I can save a few other ladies their time and money.

My friend and I went to Euphoria mani/​pedis. She got both for $ 32 while my pedi was a bit overpriced at $ 28. I would have done both if I’d known the price was so close.
The salon smells really strongly of nail polish/​remover. However, we were seated upstairs after a short wait and that was infinitely better. They have really nice massage chairs up there, and it was quite relaxing because we got a glass of complimentary wine.
However, the service was so-​so. The manicurist cut my friend’s finger and didn’t even apologize about it. And the pedis were ok. I probably won’t be returning because I’ve found better priced pedis in the city with better service. One nice thing was that they were open way later than other nail places — until 9. But everywhere else would have to be closed for me to return.

When Euphoria opened I was thrilled. I live only a few blocks away, and while I liked the convenience of Christie’s, it was usually pretty crowded.
My first few visits were great (mani /​pedi /​eyebrow wax). The staff was friendly, service was good and they were pretty quick (without feeling rushed). That went downhill, fast.
My friend and I had a random Thursday off so we decided to start our morning at Eurphoria with a mani /​pedi. I checked their website and saw they opened at 9am.
We waited outside until 9:45am until the staff showed up.
And by ‘staff’, I mean one person.
The second staff member mosey’d in sometime around 10am. Frustrating.
Not only was that annoying, they did a horrible job on my friends nails — to the point that her cuticles were bleeding and she had to buff her own nails because the woman then started to rush her.
I decided to give them another chance and went in this past Saturday, 12÷7÷13.
There were no customers but they were open (it was about 7pm). I just needed my eyebrows waxed.
I let myself into the back room and waited about 5 minutes while the woman who was going to wax me finished eating her apple… which she then chewed in my face while waxing me.
She was plucking very close to my eye — I didn’t think I had any hair there but what do I know. It hurt and started bleeding.
After she finished she wiped my eyelids with alcohol.
Do you know what it feels like to wipe alcohol on an open, bleeding wound?
It effing hurts.
Bad.
And leaves a NASTY scar. ON YOUR FACE.
Now I am walking around with what looks like a small hickey on my eye lid, and two days later it STILL hurts. Who cares what my eyebrows look like, I have a huge, distracting scab above my eye.
I will never go back there again.
Ever.
I’d love to contact the owner and show them what they did to my face but I have no idea of who owns it or how to get in touch with them.
I also paid for this service, which is BS. Here’s $ 8, thanks for the scar on my face.
Cinderella Nails, here I come!

I 100% stand by my earlier comments. I was sad to see the low rating for Euphoria and returned to see what the trouble was. Same friendly greeting, fast service, and pleasant, conversational employees. I brought a friend and we both got gel mani pedis. The service was prompt and professional. We enjoyed our wine and the ladies joked around and laughed with us. Sorry to hear others haven’t had the same experience.

UGH! SO DISAPPOINTING!!! Usually I have a great experience when I come here but not on Wednesday. Lindsay was out but I went anyway to get my normal acrylic overlay with a design. Two things pissed me off during this visit:
1. I wanted a zigzag design on 2 nails and this shit look like busted ass waves (pic posted). I asked the lady to fix it and she said no cause it was gel polish and some other BS… insert side eye here. I didn’t press it cause I’d already been there for over an hour, insert second side eye
2. I found out that getting two nails painted with glitter polish is considered a design. WTF!?! So that was another $ 5, that I usually don’t notice but not re-​doing my zigzag design made me notice. It should not be an additional cost for 2 polishes, 3 I can understand.
I’m on the fence about returning because of this experience not to mention they always seemed a little expensive but this was my only bad experience and Lindsay does a good job every time. Ugh! What to do? The service is usually good, the place is clean, all the technicians are friendly and Lucy (I think that’s her name) is great at picking my color but shit it might be a wrap for ya’ll.
In the meantime I’m definitely going to another salon to have them fixed this horrible wave design.

I have lived in Manayunk for 3 years, and usually frequent Chrissy’s nails. As Chrissy’s is usually pretty packed, I decided to try Euphoria. I feel this was a mistake. They REALLY push things on you, like a Gel manicure, a more expensive pedicure, and waxing. I don’t mind being upsold, but they are agressive about it.
Furthermore my Gel Manicure, which they pushed on me and assured me would last for three weeks peeled off after about a week, and took forever to get done. I’ve had it elsewhere and it took about half the time. The pedicure felt nice, and they take time to really scrub your feet, massage etc. but only if you upgrade…
I’m going to wait at Chrissy’s next time.

I found out about Euphoria Nail Bar through my teller at Citizens Bank. Her nails were always so well kept and shiny that I had to ask about them. She explained that it was a gel manicure and that I should go to Euphoria on Main Street. I had never heard of a gel manicure or Euphoria Nail Bar before, but I made a mental note to take some time out for myself and visit this place.
I made a reservation upon the suggestion of a fellow Unilocaler because I hate to wait if I don’t have to. When I arrived, I was pleasantly greeted by a woman who had an «owner aura» about her. There were 4 other women being serviced at this time (10:00 am) and that was a good sign. The «owner» took my coat and asked me to pick a polish.
The salon itself is really beautifully designed. I thought the colors, while somewhat bold, were very soothing. While picking my nail color from the crazy huge selection, I was greeted by the tech who was going to do my nails. She was extremely friendly without being over the top. We had a genuinely good conversation while she was doing my nails.
Though the gel manicure process is a little tedious, I must say I enjoyed it. I also REALLY loved the way my nails looked when she was finished. (I am looking at them as I type this awesome review ;-) Oh yes, her name is Tina and I would love for her to do my nails again. The gel manicure is supposed to last for two weeks so I will be sure to make a trip back soon!
Parking is free behind Euphoria with a service minimum of $ 25. Main Street is always crazy busy and street parking can be quite the task, so free parking is a huge plus in my book.

I discovered this place back in May 2012 during Mother’s Day.
The place is open 7 days a week and they are open later than most places i’ve visited. They have two floors of services.
There is complementary parking in the rear parking lot if you spend a minimal of $ 25. They offer student discounts and other discounts from mondays to wednesdays only. Tips must be given in cash. They have an atm inside if you need to use it.
They will offer you one free alcoholic drink with your mani and pedi.
I would recommend an appointment no matter what time during the day and what day during the week.
They allow dogs on their premise, however i have experienced when some of their other customers are afraid of a little 14lb poodle.
I love getting my nails done by Anne and Leah. They do a great job with my Gel Mani and Reg Pedi.
They lose one star because anytime i leave a message to make an appointment. I never get call back for confirmation. So I call again and make sure someone does answer the phone.
