Ivy Nails

Came in here as my regular salon was fully booked.
When I sat in the chair, the nail tech was not very pleasant. The water was too hot, had to tell her to cool it down. I told her I wanted the deluxe pedicure.
She started my pedicure but shortly after cutting my nails back, she got up and walked outside. I don’t know what she did, but was gone for a good few minutes and when she returned, she did not change her gloves and went right back to filing my nails. I asked her if she was going to change gloves and she didnt answer me, but instead talked to the neighboring tech in a different language.
She massaged my legs with the scrub solution and a lotion like substance. The massage ended up being painful as the exfoliating scrub was quiet rough. She rinsed my legs and feet off. Afterwards she put a cooling gel and massaged a little more. After that was over, she rinsed me off, she wrapped my legs in hot towels. The towels were extremely hot and it was not comfortable. She proceeded to paint my nails while the towels were still on my legs. I thought this was strange as usually I’ve had lotion put on, but wondered if maybe she was going to put lotion on my legs after the polish. I thought I’ll just go with the flow. Once she slapped the polish on, she unwrapped my legs and said «ok, thank you». She didn’t even wipe the moisture off my legs or anything.
When I got home, I noticed my polish had rubbed off on my skin as she had not put tissue in between my toes and my skin was terribly dry.
I returned the next day for them to fix the polish, and they just went over top of the dings in the polish and didn’t even take it off. When I asked them to take it off, the girl laughed and said something to the neighboring tech in their language, and then said it’s not big scratch.
Additionally, my pedicure was not even 35 minutes. If you’re looking for a nail salon, don’t bother with this spot. Waste of money and they don’t provide decent service.
Other places offer better deluxe pedicures that run at least an hour (Nail Care Spa and also Top nails) with similar or less pricing.
Won’t ever get my business again! Go elsewhere ladies!

I have been visiting Ivy Nails for my manicures and pedicures for over a year now. I love going to Ivy. The service is great, the people are friendly and the owners take great pride in assuring that we have a pleasant experience. I am using an acrylic application because gel chips. It’s not fault of the salon; gel just doesn’t persist as long as the acrylic pink and whites. What I like best is the care that is taken to complete my treatment. I get nothing but compliments and I refer my friends who live near by.

I’ve always had a good experience here. It’s clean. Quick and efficient. My pedi’s have always been good and it’s a relaxing environment. The parking sucks but cute area

Finally a Nail salon on Cumberland Parkway with great customer service! They actually appreciated my money. Great gel manicure and pedicure. Definitely will be back.

Finally, a nail salon I like in Smynings.
I was driving 20+ minutes to find someplace that does natural nails without ruining them.
Ivy Nails is a quiet, chill nail salon. I’ve never had to wait and the nail techs have been courteous to date.
Cons:
— there is a free wifi sign on the door, but it’s an ordeal to get the code, which did not work
— parking can be tricky or really easy depending on the time of day
— they have a nice selection of colors, but not as many selections as other shops in the area
Given the location (5 mins away) and the consistent service, this is my go to nail salon.

This place sucks! My gel nails continuously chip and crack! Never going back! They also don’t sterilize their equipment, and reuse the liners for the pedi bins. Also, they are very hard on cuticles! Try another place as I have been a couple times and have left disappointed each time!

Very satisfied with my gel nails manicure and pedicure today. The salon is very nice and the massage chairs are comfortable. Staff is friendly and didn’t make me feel rushed.

I went to Ivy Walk Nails today ⁶⁄₁₀ on Cumberland Parkway — 1675 Cumberland Pkwy SE # 301, Smyrna, GA 30 080
I am very concerned about the cleanliness and practices of the nail techs at this establishment. They use liners in the spa tubs but during my visit I saw them re-​use a used liner. When I was receiving my pedicure the technician attempted to use the same implements on me that she had used on the previous customer. I had to ask her to go get a sterilized set. She then tried to reuse a pumice stone — I asked her to skip the step. I regret having a pedicure there and I believe they are not following required guidelines for the health and safety of their clientele.

Pedicure
No hot water
Got cut
The woman that was doing my pedicure stopped in the middle to clean out the foot tub next to me using spray cleaner and a dish rag. Then went right back to my feet wearing the same gloves.
Ran my debit card with the wrong price and asked me to add $ 5 and any tip I would like to give.

First visit — It was very crowded and I felt a bit rushed, but it was clean and the service was efficient. They did a good job with gel manicure and basic pedicure.
Follow up — I’ve been a few times. It’s always crowded, lots of the polish bottles seems old and gunky, and I’ve noticed that some of the technicians don’t seem to be as diligent with cleaning as they should be. I noticed the pedicurist this weekend washed off her the pumice stone and callus grater in the foot bath, but then left them there while she rinsed the scrub off my feet on top of them. I noticed another chair next to me that didn’t get more than an absentminded spray with disinfectant and wipe with a rag — definitely not a thorough cleaning. Not going to go back.

What a great nail salon! Wasn’t rushed. Helped right away. I had Kim do my mani and Lee did my pedi. Both did a wonderful job! Kim is very nice and friendly! Great atmosphere and prices. I’m glad I finally found my nail salon!

Used to be a great salon. Now they seem too preoccupied with shuffling people in and out that they do not take care with their services. The quality of their service has decreased significantly, from the manicures/​pedicures all the way to the small services like eyebrow waxes. Looking for a new salon.

It’s in a cute plaza with great food and boutiques (Ivy Walk). Very clean, professional, they take their time, give excellent massages, use quality products, and are super friendly! Ask for Na!

This was my first time going here and I gave it a try based on a referral from my beautician. I had been going to another nail shop called Orchid Nails. I was not happy with their work (gel polish was on thick and it chipped within 2 days). I was pleasantly surprised at Ivy Nails. Their prices are a bit cheaper and the quality of my nail tech was awesome! I wll be back and will request the same lady!

I live nearby and visited today with my boyfriend. I got a gel French manicure and a regular pedicure and he got his first ever mani-​pedi. I think they did a great job and I was very pleased with the results. After seeing the other Unilocal reviews, I considered driving to Atlanta to a nail shop I used to frequent but I am glad we had a positive experience with Ivy Nails since it is so much closer. Although we came in at a very busy time, they quickly worked us in. We didn’t feel rushed at all and everyone seemed very polite. It was a relaxing experience and I would recommend this place to a friend.

I go to Ivy nails all the time and they do a great job on my acrylic pink and white nails as well as my pedicure. I love that they will do the pedi and mani at the same time. It saves the customer about 45 minutes in time.

I’ve been coming here for a couple of years… and won’t be coming back. Why? 1). Just found out they don’t sanitize their tools… what? Omg. 2). Some of their staff is nice, some just down right rude. 3). Poor gel manicure. 4). Chaos, I was moved place to place, equipment changed, etc. so much for a relaxing manicure!

Whenever I’m in ATL, I try to hit up Ivy Nails. They have a great selection of OPI and Essie colors and do a great job from start to finish. They are especially good with cuticle clipping. (For whatever reason, in NYC, they aren’t as aggressive on this front.) I also love the foot/​leg massage… plenty of pressure.

Ivy Nails is my favorite nail salon in the Vinings/​Smyrna area. The staff is friendly and efficient, and they always make sure you are satisfied with how your nails look. Even when it’s really busy — which is often — I’ve never had to wait longer than 15 minutes (and that is rare). They have a great selection of OPI colors. It’s also very clean.

This nail shop is cute, fast, friendly, and cheap. Appeared to be relatively clean. My manicurist did a great job, but I did feel rushed. Which was okay because I was in a rush myself. They did have a nice selection of polish (OPI, Essie). So overall, I was satisfied.
