Fancier Nails & Spa

I made 3 appointments, for 3 different people, and they only had 2 technicians available to complete our services. After waiting 35 minutes for a manicure, we asked the man at the front if the available technician who did not have a customer could assist one of us, he said no. He was extremely rude with his response and failed to look up from his computer screen. This is not the first time he has been rude and I will never walk back into this salon.

I really wish I could leave zero stars … This place deserves to lose clients because I wasn’t even able to become a CLIENT.
I walk in to this empty nail salon after doing a quick Starbucks run … and was rudely turned away for a 2pm full-​set because the dude up front says there isn’t anyone available. Who is working in there? There are only 2 clients being serviced while I walked in. I don’t understand how they can turn someone down when they clearly are lacking in filling up five seats.
On to my old salon that takes walk-in’s with respect and actually enjoys helping a lady out.

I have been here a few times… each time the man at the front desk has been very rude. I have only been able to get a mani once. He barely looks up, tells me there is no availability and looks down. The lady at the front w him is not any friendlier.
Really small place, but poor customer service. Wish there were more options in this area bc this one is a dud.

RIPPED OFF MY SKIN. Got a eyebrow wax here and I’m very upset. First off, the lady put wax down past my eye and ripped off a ton of skin on the side of my face, on my eye lid, and above my eyebrow. It hurts like crazy and I can hardly put on eye shadow, not to mention it’s red and swollen. Secondly, I specifically told the woman to not wax above my eyebrow and she still did.

I went here a few years ago when the gel nails were just becoming popular. I told the technician that I work in a hospital and they assured me that it would last over a week… upto 10 days… The manicure lasted only 3 days. When I called the shop and requested that my nails be redone, they insisted I had to make an appointment. Of course the appointment times did not work with my night shift schedule. And they were unwilling to accommodate me any other time. After reading the review about how they prefer certain clientele over others, I’m thinking perhaps there were other reason they couldn’t seem to book an appointment for me.

I went there after reading all of the reviews on here — what a horrible experience. The manicurist that i had did not do my nails the way i wanted them. Then she did my eyebrows — didnt even care how i wanted them done and now one of my eyebrows is thicker than the other. The room where they take you to wax, its soooo dark you cant see too well. WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS NAIL SALON!

I have never been so appalled before ever. They turned away two African American people who came in as walk-​ins but accepted a Caucasian person within 6 minutes of each other. They aren’t willing to accept elderly, or people with some type of disability! The owner, Lynn, doesn’t like to work with children. She talks about children coming into the salon stating, «if I have to work with children doing their nails I would rather they be Jewish children because they know how to act! They refuse to work with people who are on crutches or any type of walking device! It’s really a sad situation going on their! Poor customer service!!!

If you want artificial nails go here and see Roger! He is by far the best with acrylics/​gels in Bmore!

I have seen at least a dozen technicians in my time for acrylics, and Roger is by far the best. He is honest, clean, punctual and meticulous. Unfortunately, not all technicians here are the same skill level as Roger, so I recommend asking for him by name.

The best in the area– you dont even have to ask for somebody they are all good! Can you say the same thing about any other salon??? They are 2 – 3 more expensive– wow ?) it’s ok — if you get good service, I dont mind 2 – 3 bucks)

Sure, the place is clean and pretty, but my pedi was subpar – after one day, I noticed how bad it was – cuticles still present, feet feel like sandpaper, had mild allergic reaction to products used, water jets were not working properly leaving my feet soaking in dirty water, and technician was inexperienced overall. He was instructed initially to not use that particular chair but did anyway.
I also stupidly gave a good tip to the tech, b/​c I felt bad for the «new guy.» Prob. won’t go back, and was overpriced for what it was.

What’s better than having a manicure on a Wednesday is having a pedicure on Friday of the same week. Those forgotten feet located at the southernmost part of my legs usually only get extreme care when there is pain. However, a pedicure is an excellent way of giving my feet a little TLC when they are tired and in need of some love. I booked a 10 am appointment at the Fancier Nails Salon which is located off of Greenspring Avenue in the Quarry Shopping district. The owners of the shop Lihn and Louey keep the place clean and neat. I have frequented many nail salons for decades and this one is C-​L-​E-​A-​N. This is important if you don’t want to pick up a condition I call «nail crud.»
Also, a while back I went to a newly opened salon in Owings Mills and saw a live mouse running around in a trash basket behind the tech’s table. I told the tech, and he seemed to not care. At the end of my manicure, he calmly picked up the trash basket and threw the mouse outside of the salon. Of course I never returned. If there was a mouse in the trash basket, what else did they have in that place.
Ann is my regular tech and she gave me a wonderful pedicure, cleaning and scraping off those layers of dead skin. She massaged my legs and feet with a pineapple scrub. It was totally delicious. Then we picked out a light pink color by Esse (they also have OPI) and she finished the 30+ minute process by neatly painting each toe. Afterwards I sat on a sofa in the area located away from the pedi-​chairs and relaxed. After sitting for a while, I felt my toenaiis — they were dry. I put on my street shoes, paid my bill and heard my feet saying ooowe, as I Ieft the salon.
So if you have a few minutes, look at your feet and ask yourself: How did they get this way and what can be done to make them look and feel better? I think you probably know the answer after reading my review.

The technicians are professional. The building is very clean and sanitary.

Overpriced and unfriendly. The massage element of our mani/​pedis was robotic. Neither technician seemed to notice that there was actual soft tissue under their hands. They had simply memorized a stroke and repeated it until the skin under the one spot they were rubbing was both desensitized and burning in pain. The technicians spoke softly to each other (seemingly about us) the entire time instead of relating to us at all. My technician kept yawning and looking extremely bored.

Awesome pedicure. And they have the OPI gel manicures! I got a French gel manicure (a lot of places I’ve called about getting gel French say they can’t do it) on Saturday and it still looks perfect. Tara was my nail tech and she was fantastic. Total price for pedicure and gel French manicure was around $ 73. All the tools were sanitized before they used them on me, too. Overall, great place with solid service (except the heat wasn’t working right and it was a bit chilly).

I’m over at the Quarry alot, so I figured what the hey. I got a pedicure there, and was overly impressed. The technician was very polite and accomodating (I broke my right foot years ago), and did an excellent job. The place is clean, the employees are all very polite, and the pedicure itself was more spa quality then I was expecting! The pedicure ‘station’ is off by itself which makes it nice and private, with two pedicure chairs for adults, and two for children, which were pink and looked adorable.
The price was reasonable at $ 35. I’ll totally go back to them again!

I’m a huge fan of the Quarry in general– it feels as though this great shopping center appeared out of nowhere! When any type of errand you may have to run can be fulfilled at just this location, you’ve got plenty of time to stop by the brand new Fancier Nails Salon.
I stopped in yesterday with two close friends and we were very happy with the quality of service here. We made appointments for manicures and pedicures, but I learned on arrival that they also accept walk-​ins, which seemed to make up a majority of the other customers inside. Both the manicures and pedicures were efficient, but were definitely more spa-​quality than I expected– I was very satisfied with the result. It also seems to be a great location for a mother-​daughter day out. A few of the pedicure chairs are decorated and sized just for little girls, with adorable pink chair covers that I know I would’ve loved to experience when I was growing up!
Best of all, the price was very reasonable– $ 48 total. I know I’ve paid around that amount for a less than mediocre mani-​pedi at walk-​in salons all over Baltimore. I grabbed a card as well and noticed that their waxing and other options were very reasonably priced also. After looking for a high quality but reasonably priced nail salon for years, I think I’ve found my new favorite here at the Quarry.

This place I don’t think has any affiliations with the other Fancier nails salons around the area. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Since I am a big article junky, I have become very aware of the many ‘incidents’ that occur in salons as far as infections due to poor sanitizing conditions. But based on observation and when asking the manager Duy about their typical upkeep, he was very knowledgeable about the necessary cleaning steps and conditions for their tools and foot tubs, even handing me some reading tools on some of the topics. The shop is very clean and they sterilize their equipments with barbicide, heat and UV light. And as far as price, they ‘re not bad … you pay a little bit more for a french nail with a manicure or a pedicure, but it’s only like a $ 5 difference. I love that while you get a pedicure the chair gives a great massage, not overly nauseating, but just the right amount of pressure. I’ve also had my eyebrows done there several times (once with Hong and another time with Linh), and many times, I get complimented from colleagues and even complete strangers on how great they look. Love this place for making me beautiful!

Due to my type of work, I am required to have a clean and presentable appearance. Being a man, I have always been self conscious when walking into these types of places, but the tech who took care of me asked what my preferences were, even going as far as asking if I would prefer a more private setting. Turns out they have divided rooms for pedicures for those self conscious of their gnarly feet and for couples who want a more intimate surrounding! I’ve had manicures and pedicures before and I will have to say this place blows the others out of the water! For just the right price, and the wonderful services they provide I won’t go anywhere else! Thanks Fancier for your awesome work! Keep it up!
