Wonder Nails

This is usually my go to nail salon. Whenever I come here I get a great gel manicure that lasts about 2 weeks and a great pedicure. The only complaint I have is that it’s often very busy so sometimes I am waiting 15 – 20 minutes before they can take me. They are always very friendly and the salon is clean.

This place is always packed. I only ever go here to get my eyebrows waxed. It’s $ 7 and takes 5 minutes, and the woman is gentle and does them to perfection.

This was my 1^st time here… French pedicure is what I always go for. The place is very clean and the woman did a fabulous job. I live within walking distance so this may just be my new go-​to shop!!!

I was referred to Wonder Nails by my cousin who RAVES about the place but I had a horrible experience. They tried to soak my hands in DIRTY water that they had just soaked another customer’s hands in. They also tried to use dirty instruments on me. Then rolled their eyes at me when I requested fresh water. After wintnessing them only rinsing out the foot-​baths and not sanitizing them, I decided against the pedicure.
The girl messed up my nail polish after finishing and rather than re-​polishing the nail, she did a CRAPPY touch-​up job that looked so bad, I wound up taking all of the polish off and repainting with my own polish after a couple of days. I will NEVER go back to Wonder Nails… unless I want to get FUNGUS!

My go-​to nail salon for gel manicures. $ 25 and it lasts for 2 – 3 weeks.
Whenever someone says it peeled right away it’s bc the brand of polish doesn’t hold we’ll to your nails. Example: I know opi peels quickly for me but Gelish lasts 2 – 3 weeks. On the contrary, opi lasts for my mom.
The owners Lynn and her husband are very sweet. This place is always super busy too. Pedicures are decent as well.

I used to love this place, but the last 5 or 6 times I’ve been there were disastrous. They are downright sloppy now. My gel manicure has not lasted more than 4 or 5 days because they painted on the skin causing it to peel. Also, the last 2 times they didn’t have the exact color I chose so they took it upon themselves to substitute what they thought was a close color without asking me. I wasn’t able to tell for sure until the second coat and at that point I just wanted to get out of there. Nice try, wonder nails. I wonder why people still go there…

Noooooooo! I spoke too soon!
This always seems to happen with nail places – I find one I like and everything’s great… but then it goes wrong.
OK, I’m being overdramatic here, but I went for my first gel manicure at Wonder Nails about 10 days ago. I’ve gotten gel manicures before, but it my first time getting one here. I was tempted to do so because if you get one at Wonder Nails and then return for your next one, they’ll remove the first polish for free (whereas if it was from somewhere else, you pay. I find most places charge you anyway for removal, so I was tempted by the free-​ness of this place.) The lady, who didn’t speak much English (I don’t care – this is just for the benefit of people who do care about that kind of thing) removed my old polish with some plastic fake nail pieces (acrylic? I’m not sure what the terminology is.) I hadn’t seen this method before – everywhere else I’ve been has soaked my nails in acetone (they did that here too) and then used a cuticle pusher to remove the polish. I find that irritates my nails a bit too much, so I’m very intrigued by the idea of this different method. It was a lot more comfortable and seemed to work well.
She then showed me the colors, and HOLY MOLY, there’s a lot to choose from. She also pointed out which ones were the newest. The selection was great, but I finally settled on a magenta-​y purple. I love the color; I’m still not sick of it. She did a good job of shaping my nails.
What’s the problem, then? The gel is peeling up off one of the nails. Those of you who have had gel manis know this is basically impossible. And granted, it’s not like sticking up off the nail, but if I were to try, the gel would probably come right off the nail in one big piece. I think she may not have been as careful as she could have been, or maybe their machines just don’t work as nicely as others.
So it’s not enough that I will never come here again. In fact, I’ll likely still come here for pedicures and regular polish jobs. I just don’t want to pay that much for a gel mani ($ 25, which granted, is relatively cheap) for it to peel off my nail.
Oh, and BEWARE: They don’t accept credit cards on Fridays and Saturdays – that’s a pain in the gluteous maximus.

Wow. I cannot believe how few reviews Wonder Nails has. It is the go-​to nail salon in the area. The staff is wonderful and friendly and they always do a great job with manis, pedis, and eyebrow waxes. This isn’t a spa-​like salon, but it is perfect for a quick escape and pamper moment.

How has nobody reviewed the wonder of Wonder Nails yet? This is absolutely the best place in Delco to get your nails done. They give you a great foot and calf massage for pedis, are friendly and attentive, and your mani lasts for a decent amount of time. Plus, they just redid the place, with FANTASTIC new massage chairs. Everything is clean and attractive, and the cost is reasonable. My favorite place to treat myself. :)
