Modern Nails & Spa

Worst experience! I ended up going there last Saturday and was not happy but don’t like to leave negative comments usually. I ended up here cause my salon where I usually go was really busy. When I got there they said no wait and but in my chair for a pedicure. I sat there for at least 20 minutes and they were not busy and had extra hands. The pedicure itself was not bad but the guy didn’t put in tow seperators and they smudge immediately, I would have asked to retouch at the end of my manicure but that’s when the horror started. I wanted gels nails, he out on way to many coats at once so that when I put them under the UV light I felt as I stuck my hand in fire. He got pissed about it, had to drill the gel part of while burning my nails and telling me to stop moving and grasp tightly and it was burning! After he got most off he told MW to hurry up and pick out another color. He quit a lady finished. I was there for 2.5 hours! 4 days later and all the gel is already coming off on two nails! I NEVER GO AGAIN AND WARN PEOPLE NOT TOO!

Have to say I have been coming here for the last 3 months! Totally reasonably priced and have been happy with the cleanliness. I’ve gone to a couple others however this one I have been pleasantly happy with and my nails never chip leaving here!
Plus for an eyebrow wax they shape accordingly :)

Ok, I just read the other reviews & the ones that said it was clean. I am perplexed. Now maybe it’s because it’s the 3^rd of July & busy but it was far from clean. It’s my first visit & will be my last. I had a gel mani & regular pedi $ 58.00 Really? The sign on the window said $ 37! The older guy who it’s glasses was rough, grumpy & never uttered a single word to me. In fact he was very rough! My normal nail salon was closed today. Thank God I don’t have yo come back here.

The worst thing about moving to a new area is finding a new glam squad. So my hunt will continue because this place was a major rip off!!!
I’m new to the area (from Las Vegas) and my jaw dropped to the floor when I got the bill for my gel manicure and gel pedicure. Yes, they had to remove hard gel from my nails but I’ve never paid more than $ 80 with tip. Well, I got the bill and it was almost double that!
Besides that nightmare, they took forever!
Also, I saw them wax someone’s lip and they double dipped about 5 times. Not hygienic at all…

Damnit, I still haven’t found a decent nail salon!
I had high hopes for Modern, but if you want to know the number one way to piss me off, here it is: IGNORE ME WHEN I WALK IN.
I don’t expect a parade or balloons, but a glance and/​or a «it’ll be six hours…» would be nice.
They do that Every Technician Is Occupied But We Want Your Money So Soak Your Feet For 30 Minutes trick — it looked like everyone was being helped with all of the moseying going on by the staff, but alas, I was tricked. I finally am offered a chair only to realize that there are two people who still need to be worked on. I wait, and wait… and wait. Alrighty…
Finally, a technician comes over to me and is so beyond distracted by god knows what… she’s looking around, keeps getting up, and I get the laziest, shittiest pedicure I’ve gotten in a long time. She muttered «let’s make your feet pretty…» Okay dude, sure, yeah, that’s why I am here… OH, YOU MEAN YOU JUST CHARGED ME 38 FUCKING DOLLARS FOR THE SPECIAL SHITTY PEDICURE.
No thanks!

I came here with a bunch of girls to get our nails done for my wedding. The staff was really helpful and they took great care of us. The owner took pics of us and then emailed them to me as a keepsake. We also were treated to complimentary champagne. It was great!

this place was bad, bad bad bad. i went in for a basic manicure and they do not soak your nails before they cut them which mine will just split if they are not soaked first. he said they do not have bowls there to soak. the way he shaped them was all wrong and messed up, took forever to paint them and that was even messed up in the end. worst paint job i have ever seen on my nails. then to top it off after he was done all he did as rinse off the utensils he used then use them on the next person. I’m used to a new bag of clean sterilized tools. Not many polishes to pick from and he stood over my shoulder the whole times while i was trying to choose. i will never go back EVER. Save yourself the time and money and do not go here, i could not wait to get out.

Great service. I took my 4 year old daughter and we had good pedicures. The guys there were so great with her. I had a good eyebrow wax too. Forgot to bring cash for the tip!

i would give this negative stars if i could! do not come here! manicures are horrible and rushed! eye brow wax is sloppy and painful! owner leon got in my face and yelled at me to never come back when questioned about his credit card «fees» that they add to each service! my daughter told him he «better calm down and stop yelling at her mother»! when i was leaving, my card needed to be ran manually and he said «you pay with cash»! when i told him he either ran my card or he wasn’t getting paid, he proceeded to call the police and tell them i refused to pay! when they got there, they simply told him to punch the numbers in the machine manually (which is what i said to do in the first place)! he wasted my time and the taxpayers money to have the police come there when he was just too stubborn to manually type in the credit card numbers! after spending $ 100, it was the worst experience i’ve ever had! he obviously doesn’t need the business if he tells his patrons to «never come back»! he’s crazy and his whole staff was mortified! go someplace else… horrible experience!

Decent, clean salon with reasonable prices. They only accept cash tips, which was unfortunate for them when I didn’t have cash. Was disappointed when my nails quickly chipped due to old watered down polish that was used.

Recently relocated to the Charleston, SC area, and on the lookout for a great nail place, we decided to give Modern Nails a try. It is very clean and friendly, but I didn’t walk away with a memorable experience. I went to the same place for 10 years in Alexandria, VA, and I can safely say that it was the best pedicure in the area.

My wife said, «This is a great shop! I had the best pedicure I’ve ever had for one of the lowest prices. The shop smells wonderful, without an obnoxious, chemical smell, and the staff members are very pleasant. I would definitely recommend this shop to all my friends in this area!»

Don’t know much except for the fact that my wife loves this place. She gets her manis and pedis here about twice a month. Who am I kidding?! I’m all for her getting those toes does regularly! Cause, when daddy is happy the whole family is happy:)
She has stated though that the staff is great and very efficient. :)

Have you ever been to a nail salon and walked right out because of the odor? I have —well, here you will not need to do that.
Judy & Leon, the owners, make sure that there is no odor here.
They also make sure that you are a satisfied customer who will come back — Their business has been built on repeat customers — I am one of those.
Moderately priced, very clean, and very warm staff make this salon a must.
