Cameron Spa & Nails

The manager/​front desk man is both greedy & DISHONEST. I go with my daughter every 2 weeks so I am very accustomed to their charges. The past few visits I noted that he was overcharging by a few dollars. Today he charged me $ 45 for a fill in with gel polish… twenty five for daughters POLISH CHANGE! I questioned him & he got very nervous. I left livid & will NEVER RETURN!

Great location and very nice people!

As much as I was blown away my first visit, my second visit will be my last. The nail tech stabbed me with her tool, enough to break the skin and draw blood, which she quickly spritzed with alcohol. Never said sorry or oops or anything. She did not follow the current shape of my nails, instead turning my square tips into points. She never asked, I was not looking and she had already done 2 by the time I noticed. I did notice she was painting my French tips way too thick and told her to thin the line which she did with some agitation. Someone came over and even tho it was foreign I know she was told somebody wanted brows done. She put it in overdrive. She only put 2 coats on and baked me only twice for less than a minute. There was a speck caught under the coat on one nail which now has a bump in the finish. Before I even got home a tiny chip appeared in the tip of my first finger. She didn’t paint all the way to the cuticle either which means as they grow out I will need to have them redone sooner. And on top of it all, this is the first place I’ve been to that charges to have your prior gel removed. Definitely NOT worth 36 bucks! I left a tip because that’s just me but I don’t know why since the service and the outcome is way below par. If I could give a zero I would.

I went here on Saturday around noon with 3 other friends for pedicures for a friend’s birthday and we did not have an appointment. We barely waited 5 mins, which was great because they were busy. I rarely get my nails done because I am concerned about the cleanliness of the process. Here, they have the liners in the foot baths and take the tools out of the autoclave packaging in front of you. We were offered beverages and we all had a very relaxing experience. My nail tech did not talk to me at all, which I am completely okay with. Three of us also got our eyebrows waxed, which we were pleased with. It was $ 39 for a pedicure and eyebrow wax, which I consider very reasonable for the location and how upscale it seems in there. I will definitely be back for a gel manicure in the future.

I first visited this salon back in March, and I had a broken thumb nail in addition to wanting a manicure. The manicurist glued my nail back on, which, of course, broke off complete the next day.
Yesterday, I decided to revisit this salon and was given a decent pedicure for $ 29, but the paint job was absolutely horrific. My stylist didn’t speak English, so I wasn’t able to fully communicate with her on how sloppy of a job she was doing. After leaving, I bumped one of my nails in my car and went back in to have it fixed. She sucked her teeth and rolled her eyes, and made the toenail look even worse with 3 more layers of paint over top of the messed up paint.
I’m sure there are better salons in Raleigh, avoid this place unless you want to pay a great deal of money for a sloppy job.

Cameron Spa & Nails does a really good job. Whether it is a pedi (your feet are truly born again) or a mani, the staff seems to have the skills to do it right. We’ve gone several times, most recently for a gel powder fill ($ 25, plus $ 3 for shaping) and the end result was gorgeous, a much better job than the salon who applied the full set. Other pluses– Cameron takes appointments, has all the latest Essie, OPI and OPI gel colors and is open on Sundays. We’ve tried several places recently and after a few really good experiences here, we’ve decided Cameron may be our regular nail salon.

This place was great. I took my bridesmaids here to get our nails done for my wedding and it was fantastic. Not only did they get us in and out efficiently (we needed to make it to the rehearsal on time), but they did a great job. My gel color lasted for the whole weekend but it looked great for my entire honey moon as well. I wish I lived in Raleigh because this would be the only nail salon I would go to.

These women are forever doin GOD’S work on my nails. I have never been to another nail spa in Raleigh simply because I have never left this establishment dissatisfied. The ladies are always very nice, the management is always very helpful, and I am always immediately helped (on weekdays and off-​peak times, obviously make an appointment on Friday or Saturday afternoons, please). Anytime I have had an issue like a nail break or paint smudge, they almost ALWAYS fix it for me for free. I am not someone who likes to carry on a conversation with someone I don’t actually know, I’m not a small-​talk kind of person, and the women who work at this nail spa pick up on that quickly and don’t ask a million questions when I give short answers. Extra time and effort is always spent on my nails no matter which woman is helping me. This is my absolute FAVORITE nail spa. I HIGHLY recommend it!

I have been going to Cameron Spa & Nails for almost 3 years now (2 times a month, gel manicures and pedicures). I have to say there is no other place in Raleigh that comes close to the quality of services, the quality of product and the level of skill! I love the two brothers that own the salon, very polite and accommodating. I’ve been services by several of the technicians and they are all fantastic.
I have rather high expectations having lived in NYC for many years so I admit that I’m very critical. I tried 4 – 5 other salons in Raleigh before finding Cameron Nails. It «IS» the place everyone goes to if you want beautiful nails and feet. They also do waxing, threading and many massage services. I’ll never go anywhere else.
Lastly, I will say that every time friends come to visit us, I’m always asked if we could go to Cameron Nails for a special treat. They really pamper you and make you feel so wonderful.

New to the area and needed to get a new gel manicure. I really enjoyed the staff especially Rachel who did my manicure. She made sure the color was not blotchy and did not rush through. The only negative I found was that they charge to get your old gel color removed (3 $ with service). Overall I would definitely go back and didn’t mind spending a bit more.

I’ve come here many times, always to get my eyebrows waxed. I’ve lived in Raleigh for years, and this was always my go-​to place. However, based on recent visits, I’ve decided I need to find a new place to get my eyebrows done.
Firstly, they are always very busy. They have a ton of people working there, which is great; however, they don’t seem to have people who specialize in waxing at all, so it’s «luck of the draw» on who you might get to wax your eyebrows. Sometimes, I get someone really good who listens and takes her time, and sometimes I get someone who CLEARLY doesn’t know what they’re doing, rushes, etc. I’m pretty low-​maintenance… I don’t get manicures, I rarely get haircuts, but I DO take care of and take pride in my eyebrows. After my last visit, although I asked them to keep them thick and natural, the woman waxing my brows made them thinner than they’ve ever been and one was noticeably thinner than the other. I am pretty upset about it, but hopefully it grows back.
I won’t be returning and I’m mad that I even paid for my most recent visit. I would not recommend going here, unless you want to risk getting a nail tech/​waxer who may not have a clue what they’re doing.

I came here on a whim.
A 20-​minute wait — which gave me enough time to sift through all their colors and find the perfect one — led to a great manicure, from trim through massage through color. I might have gotten lucky with my tech, so we’ll have to see how this ends up working out in the long-​term.
That said, if you like a chatty nail tech, this is probably not the place for you.

Why is it so hard to find a good nail salon in Raleigh? Either they don’t speak English, their prices are outrageous, they’re super pushy and rude, or your nails end up looking terrible. This place had several of those problems. My friend and I came here for 2 shellac manicures. The manicure should have been left out, as they didn’t even massage our hands/​wrists for 60 full seconds.
The technicians spoke terrible English, but when they did speak they were extremely rude.

Great prices, great job on nails. I’ve been getting my pedis and gel color here now for a few months and there’s no place I’ve found around here that can compare to the quality.
Color lasts usually up to 3 weeks solid. Some places barely makes it 2 but this place does a great job — it just sticks! Staff is always friendly. They talk to you even though you have no clue what they’re saying usually. But it’s the thought that counts.
MAKE AN APPOINTMENT! If you go a lunch, you’ll want to have an appointment. If not you can get stuck waiting. It can get super busy between 11 – 2 so always best to plan ahead and just make sure.

I’ve been to this salon many times now. They do a great job, the staff I’ve interacted with are all polite and professional, I’ve always been happy with my manicure and the place is very clean. After having a really bad experience at another salon in Morrisville I will never go anywhere else besides Cameron Spa and Nails.

I have only gone in to get my brows waxed. Although, it is always packed for manis and pedis it is super efficient. I have never waited more than 5 minutes.
The brow wax is only $ 10 and I have always been pleased with the results. It’s easy to jack up some brows.
This salon is in the middle of Cameron Village. I have always found parking and the whole process takes about 15 minutes.

I have gotten several gel manicures and classic pedicures at this place, but unfortunately will not be going back.
During my last pedicure, the technician used a different scrubber on the bottom of my feet (one I had never seen before) that had «sharp» edges, and sliced open the side of my big toe because she wasn’t paying attention. My toe bled for several minutes even after the technician put alcohol and Neosporin on it, and it didn’t help that she didn’t apologize. I thought about trying to address the situation with manager, but by the time the pedicure was over, I was so frustrated that I decided it wasn’t worth the time. It’s been almost one week and this still hasn’t healed, so be careful if they use something new on your feet!

Not my favorite nail spot in Raleigh but a good spot to get a pedicure if you’re in the area! For $ 29 I got a great pedicure that only took about 30 minutes. The staff was mostly friendly, offering us drinks immediately and being patient while we were choosing our colors, though the woman doing my friend’s nails was a bit off-​putting for some reason… Maybe having a bad day? The chairs were also very comfortable, though they could benefit from having way more space in the drying area… We were crammed in there with four other women and there weren’t any air dryers… Just blue lights (do those actually dry regular nail polish?)
Either way we were able to relax and get our nails done quickly and they now look great! I would definitely come back as a back up to my usual place.

I have been coming here to get pedicures with one of my best friends for several months now. (I am lazy and hate cutting my own toenails!)
They are always so friendly as soon as you walk in the door! They seem to recognize us and are quick to get things started so you aren’t waiting around.
They seem to know what they are doing and are good and what they do! Not to mention it feels so good!
When my friend takes longer than me they allow me to sit in the massage chair while waiting, as long as they aren’t busy. It’s nice getting those extra few minutes of massage!

Yeah! Alcohol and pedicures!
Wait, let me start again. Cameron Spa & Nails is the perfect after work date for you and a girlfriend who desperately need a glass of wine and some attention to your toes. I’ll first tell you… the wine is pretty good. I realize many of you are asking that question.
It’s one of the few nail salons where they don’t usher you in only to have you sit for 30 min waiting for the nail tech to come over to the chair. Seriously, nothing irritates me more. I have other things to do or would run errands until they are ready for me.
It’s lovely inside and the service is spot on. I’ve been half a dozen times, at the recommendation of a friend and will keep coming back pending they keep painting inside the lines.
