S&N Bar Spa Nail

So they read my review and can’t take criticism lmao talk about unprofessionallllllll

Very friendly and I always feel welcome! My go-​to place!
Great atmosphere and they do an impeccable job! I LOVE that they put sunscreen on your hands if you’re getting a gel manicure– it shows that they are knowledgable and care about their customers.
My only reason its not a 5 star is that I’ve never gotten a gel mani to last over a full 2 weeks– they seem to last for my friends so maybe its just me. They are always able to fit people in and they let you sit and finish your drink [wine/​champagne/​soda/​water/​tea/​etc…]. AND they let you put a tip on a credit/​debit card which a lot of places do not!

I have been going to S and N for over a year. I used to get the very experienced women. Lately I have been getting a lot of new people. My gel nails used to last at least 3 weeks. Now if they last 3 days I am surprised. I had my gel nails done Monday for NYE. Today 2 nails chipped completely off. I am very upset and afraid to go back to ask for them to be repaired due to their attitude. Last month when this happened I went in and asked for them to be re-​done and the owner was very rude to me and said it was my fault they fell off. Giving her the benefit of a doubt I went back this month. Well needless to say if gel is only lasting 3 days it is the salon’s fault, not mine… Peace out S and N, there are hundreds of other salons in the city that I can be spending my money at that will actually do a high quality job.

I just love it here. The girls are so nice, and always do a great job. I’ve had some of the best manicures of my life from this place! Added bonus is the glass of wine upon your arrival and the shoulder rub while your nails dry! (I thought this would make the price drastically jump up… NOPE. All included in the $ 25 (WHAAAAT) manicure. They have TONS of gel colors, and are easily able to match a regular color for a pedicure.
Super clean, awesome prices, and best of all incredible employees. Best place in the neighborhood!

Terrible pedicure
I felt super rushed the whole time –water was not warm it was nasty, my person only spent a few minutes prepping my feet – didn’t ask if I wanted a nail trim or file just cut my toenail down to nothing. She barely massaged/​scrubbed feet or legs maybe 2 min tops and then put hardly two coats of paint on my toenails which one I noticed was smeared already as I walked over to the dryer. Don’t come here if you want a nice spa pedicure –only if you want a quick shitty pedicure

At first I loved this place, but after this past time I’ll never go here again. I got a full set less than a week ago and the very next day they all started coming up and cracking. I didn’t even do anything strenuous to make that happen. I didn’t even get to the gym at this point.
I came in asking for a pretty easy service. I wanted each nail to be a different color with one nail being a bit different than the others. They did a HORRIBLE job painting my nails. I asked them to change it a bit so it would look better and the lady completely ignored me before saying she couldn’t do it. I just wanted it to look more like the photo I brought with me. Mind you, the nails were super easy. I wasn’t asking much. AND not only did EVERY nail crack by the very next day, the nails are chipping away from the cuticle. This is by far the worst manicure I’ve ever had. One of the girls could tell I was upset so she tried to fix it. She was very nice, but also filed my nails AFTER they were done drying. The list of what they did wrong that day is very long. I’m not one to write bad reviews but I am extremely upset at the absolute waste of money here. Now I have to spend more money to go to someone else to fix them! Never again!

I went here for my first time last night win a friend who lives in the area. We made a reservation to be sure but they took us right away! I had the traditional mani pedi. The woman doing my pedi was meticulous and really took her time. Which was nice! They offer you a complimentary beverage which includes the option for wine! Manicure was great also. They too their time which was nice. You receive a short back rub while your nails dry also. Overall def one of the best nail salons I’ve been to in philly! Will def return. Mani pedi is $ 35.

S&N Bar Spa Nail is an excellent addition to Queen Village. Reasons I will be returning:
The woman that work there are friendly, but not overly chatty.
The are open until 7:30 so there is plenty of time to get there after work.
Their prices are standard/​reasonable. ($ 35 for mani pedi combo).
They offer you a drink while you get your nails done (water with lime slice, soda, wine, champagne!)
They work quickly.
They use hot stones for the pedicure massage.
They give a short shoulder massage while your nails dry.
Just be carefully when selecting your nail polish, as some «premium» polishes have a $ 1-​$ 2 up-​charge.

This is my new favorite salon! Originally, I came in looking for the stiletto acrylic nails but after talking with a few of the employees, they told me they would be a lot of upkeep with my nursing job. I decided on a gel mani with design on my ring fingers. They also put sunscreen on your hands to protect from the UV lights, which I had never seen before but really appreciated. Nai did an amazing! She works quickly but pays attention to detail. I have visited other salons in the city, but I don’t like feeling crammed into a small place, paying a ton for a basic service with no extras, and minimal nail polish selections. S&N is none of those. Gel manis are $ 25, and I paid $ 30 for a design on both ring fingers. Drinks are complementary (water, wine, Diet Coke) and the massage was pleasant. Nai really went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my design on my nails. The salon is clean and the décor is stylish. Bonus: you can tip on card (but they appreciate cash tips). I can’t wait to come back to see her again!

Been about four times now. Every time they’ve done a wonderful job. Service is always friendly and prices are extremely reasonable for what you get.

Although they are definitely quick, I wasnt too happy with my pedicure. Two days after getting it I had to redo it all myself as the nails werent even trimmed (sorry if that sounds nasty…) and my cuticles didn’t seem to have been touched. Overall, I probably could have done a better job myself.
I doubt I’ll be going back.

Bonus points: I came in here last minute, on a Friday, at 6:30ish. They were open and ready to do a mani pedi!
Minus points: My gel manicure is totally peeling (omg) a week later, and the lady was rushing. I was in and out in less than half an hour for a mani pedi.

I LOVE it here. The gel manicures last for at least 2 weeks or you can come back and get them fixed. I have been going here ever two weeks since they opened. As everyone has said it is clean, the technicians are super sweet and the mani/​pedis are great quality.
Word is out so — They can be quite busy you may want to call ahead for an appointment.

I LOOOOVE S&N… it’s definitely the best nail salon I’ve been to. I come often for gel manicures (not because they don’t last, but because I get annoyed when my nails get too long.) I’ve never once had a bad experience.
The shop is clean and cute, they have a great selection of polishes (and always get the new colors!), and the girls are the best.
Most of the time I come in and only have a vague idea of what I want, but I always leave loving my nails. Sometimes I just let them pick the color style, other times I show them a photo of what I’m thinking and they always end up looking good.
Shout out to Nai for her awesome and creative nail art, but you can’t go wrong with any of the other technicians, either. You also get a quick massage and free drinks — it’s just the best!

I had a very bad gel manicure last week so I was hesitant to get another so soon, but a friend of mine told me about this place and I tagged along with her yesterday for a pedi.
First off, I loved the location. Right off of south street and since we came on a Monday morning, parking was a breeze. The salon is small, but freaking adorable. All white and pink, with a nail bar instead of your typical ghetto fugly stations. Very clean as well.
They have a great selection of regular polishes and gel polishes, which some salons lack. My pedicure was neat and just the way I wanted it. I passed on a mani, but I watched my friend get hers done and it looked amaze ballzzz!
If you’re in south philly and looking for somewhere for a mani/​pedi, I highly recommend this place! Weekday mornings seem possible for walk ins, but I would make an appointment to be safe! I’m sure they fill up on the weekend!
This is my new go to!

Came in around 630 on a Friday to get a gel manicure and pedicure. They have a special for $ 50 which is one of the best I’ve seen.
I have a huge issue with getting pedicures in the city and its honestly becoming exhausting. This time I decided to time how long it would take. 8 minutes. Thats right. I started the time at sitting down and placing my feet in the water. Painting alone takes like 4 minutes. I repeatedly asked her to cut the pieces of skin that she caused to peel.
The manicure was quickly done, by quickly I mean carelessly. I kept pointed at my nails that were missing polish. The woman working on me gave me 4 glasses of wine. I guess she knew that I wasn’t too happy. All in all, my manicure honestly looked really well done. My manicurist was also really cool. She spoke pretty good English, a little broken but hey mine is too and I have no excuse.
Fast track. I went to SE Asia the next day for 3 weeks. I was def rough on my hands and feet. My gel mani lasted the entire trip with peeling starting at like 2.5 weeks, so pretty good. The pedicure chipped after 4 days.
I would go back for their gels.

This place is so insanely nice! I’m leaving for vacation tomorrow, so decided to get a normal pedicure and a gel manicure. I walked in and they were able to take me right away — huge selection of normal polish colors, as well as the new OPI releases, and a really good selection of gel colors too. During the pedicure, they rub your legs with an orange and a hot stone. They also took the time to take my previous gel polish off, wrapping each of my fingers individually with a cotton ball and tin foil.
The gel manicure was quick and nice. They cleaned off my nails, did the polish and set the gel (with a little massage while I was waiting), and at the end they put on moisturizer and clean off your hands with a hot towel. As others have mentioned they put suntan lotion on your hands before you go under the UV lamp, which is awesome!
The salon is beautiful and clean, with super nice massage chairs for the pedicures. I asked for a glass of water and got served iced cold water in a wine glass with a sliced lime — that’s nicer than I get at some restaurants!
I paid $ 50 for the gel manicure and pedicure — considering that I’ve had to pay $ 70 at a place just down the street, for service that was nowhere near as good, I consider that a deal.

Absolutely darling place. First time here, and they were very much aware that I hadn’t been in a nail salon in a long time.
Water, wine, hot tea, and other refreshments were offered for free. I got hot green tea, was very tasty.
Sunscreen to protect my hands from the harsh rays.
They were very helpful and humble about their opinions when I asked them.
They do not do ombré nails, but that is okay.
Gel manicure is amazing, shape is amazing.
I will report back if I have any issues, I doubt I will.
Paid $ 30 for gel manicure with two designs. (Each ring finger.)
Will go back again, hopefully in two weeks.

Walk-​ins welcome, water or wine offered, and only $ 25 for a gel manicure?! Man, awesome.
Sunscreen on my hands to be conscientious about the UV exposure was a first (though, I’m so pale I rarely let myself get any sort of rays). Light shoulder rub while waiting for the final coat to cure. Quick, painless, comfortable and friendly.
It’s been a few months since I treated myself to a manicure but man, after the amazing service I got, I will be back.

I’m so happy I found this place! It’s on my way home from work, and they’re open pretty late. I went recently on a Saturday at 5pm (they technically close at 6pm) but they took 2 girls at 5:45 and stayed open late to give them a manicure/​pedicure!
This place is the cleanest in the area, and the employees are all very nice. I asked for a half-​moon gel manicure, and my manicurist did a wonderful job. She free-​handed the half-​moon design and it came out beautiful. We had a glass of wine and also got a free shoulder massage while my hands were in the gel dryers. I LOVED that they applied sun screen before using the gel dryers. I highly recommend this place and can’t wait to go back.
