Hollywood Nails

The absolute WORST place I have ever been to in my life for a mani/​pedi. To start. I asked to soak my feet in a chair while I was waiting. 45 minute wait and the chairs suck. I was told no. I asked about lashes. They were clueless as to what the lashes were made of (allergies). So finally I get in a chair. The lady who did my toes was nice. But they use the cheapest flimsiest toe separators I’ve ever seen. So of course when I get up because the separators are so tiny and flimsy… It messes up the polish. The nice lady fixed it but put the same toe separators in. Again this happens. Not my fault. USE REAL TOE SEPARATORS, not ones out of a Barbie doll playhouse. They are seriously this small. So I ask for them to fix the polish again. The manager refused. So I said I’m not paying for something I’m not happy with. Fix it or take a discount off. SHE CALLS THE COPS because of this. I’m sorry but if you can’t buy proper equipment to use on your clients, you have no reason to be in business. I walked out and went to Starbucks next door. They painted my nails better and their coffee stirrers serve as far better toe separators than they have in this penny pinching place. THEY ARE THE WORST!!!

I highly recommend this place. The women are so sweet and their service is the best I have ever had. I came in today to get a botched manicure that I got at another salon fixed. She did a beautiful job. They make every attempt to speak to YOU and not just talk to each other. I could tell by being there for an hour that most of their customers are regulars which is a good sign.

Tried this place recently with my 3 year old, for a little girl time and her first pedi! Had a great experience both of us in and out in an hour. Very clean and friendly. Lilly was the best with my very inquisitive daughter!

Ok I’m writing one last review. I had Judy did my nails on thursday. i LOVE THEM!!! i got a refill and my nails are so nice and the shape is great! when i go back ill def. be asking when she works and go back to her!

Best nail salon in the area. I have been to 15 or so local nail salons, within a 3 mile radius or so and I found the one I’m sticking with. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The prices are reasonable, the color selection is great what else could possibly make me happier. Maybe wifi at the salon would be nice, but other than that great service, manicures, pedicures, and waxing. I won’t go anywhere else!

Recently moved to Philadelphia so I try to shop around for my «spot» that I can frequent. I’ve been to a few nail spots in Philadelphia so far and I must say I keep coming back to hollywood. My first visit and initial interaction with one of the girls was the most welcoming. But the wait wasn’t too long, she sat me down and we started talking about everything under the sun. She spoke English very well and did a great job on fixing the horrible work that my nails had prior (I was getting a refill) we laughed about how messed up my nails looked prior and she promised that she’d «hook me up» and make them look amazing… And she did just that. I went to them a second time and I must say it was hands down probably the best full set I’ve ever had in my life with that candy apple red from opi… I was getting compliments left and right. She was also very helpful in helping me understand the Philly nail lingo. And wasn’t trying to up sell me like the other nail salons rather telling me what was best for my nails. Whether it’ll lose her business her not. I tried to go for the 3^rd time yesterday and unfortunately they were closed for a week bc they were on vacation. Unusual for a nail salon. But this isn’t the typical nail salon. Mainly younger females and a lot of them are pretty fluent in English. Anyway, I should’ve waited until they gotten back from vacation because I ended up at fancy nails on city line ave… And I think this was probably one of the worse nail jobs I’ve ever seen in my life. From messed up cuticles to uneven short messed up shape nails. Highly disappointed. Can’t wait until it’s time for a refill so hollywood nails can fix them for me

So my best friend Amanda has been coming here way longer than myself but yesterday was my 3^rd or 4^th visit, not sure. My thumb nail on my left hand was starting to break below the skin so I was ecstatic that I could justify getting gel or acrylic nails haha. I have an event this weekend, Mayhem Fest, so I thought I’ll get my nails done differently than my normal light blue colors. They do not do ombré but they do a kick ass pedicure. My mom, who is a tough critic and likes to complain about everything, actually enjoyed herself. LeeAnn was a sweetie to her and my mom enjoyed her work. I’m picky about my nails because I went to nail salon school when I was younger so I know what is expected in quality and cleanliness. This place is amazing for that. So instead of the black ombré I wanted, I decided to do stilettos nails because I never had them done and they are different. Some of my nails were long enough that the owner just filed them into a point and the shorter ones she put fake nails on them. She topped them off with acrylic so they don’t break. We didn’t get done until an hour after they closed even though we got there before 6:50. They are the sweetest and do such a great job! Even though it is a hike for us since we live in Broomall, across from pink, it’s well worth the trip.

My regular gel mani and pedi place. They do a great job! Gel lasts 2 – 3 weeks. Tried their waxing services for the first time today and they did a thorough job even though they were jam packed with other customers. My only issue is that some of their massage chairs aren’t so great

Great service. I got a regular manicure. Great cut and shaping. Polish was perfect. This is actually one of the best (albeit rare) manicures that I’ve ever gotten. They were friendly & cheap. Clean space. I will go back & would recommend to friends.

Nice little place to get your nails done. Decent polish selection.
BUSY. BUSY BUSY BUSY.
Went in on a Saturday, that was our first mistake.
Without an appointment, our second mistake.
They told us 20−25min, 45min later I was seated and my girlfriend was seated 10min after me. Once we were seated it was pretty much business as usual, your typical pedicure. Nice experience, friendly staff. Obviously a popular place given how many people were coming in. It’s awesome they still take walk-​ins and they manage it well, but let’s not underestimate the wait quite so much.
Next time I will make an appt and skip the Saturday. They also do waxing and other things as well. Located in a small plaza with a Starbucks, I can see parking being an issue on a busy day as well.
They don’t do Gelish polish so I won’t be getting my gel done here, but an easy mani/​pedi, sure why not.

I went here on Sunday and only waited about 5 minutes before being called for my gel manicure. Jessica, who did my nails, had somewhat broken English, but she did a fantastic job of helping me pick an appropriate color for a formal event (very neutral pink). She didn’t ask me how I wanted my nails cut/​shaped and just went to work, but it ended up being fine. I would say that if you’re very picky about shape, be sure to establish the shape you want at the beginning. They have a bunch of big-​screen TVs all around, with subtitles, but it’s not extremely loud. The actual polish application was almost flawless, though I did find a tiny hangnail the next day, which I just filed down very easily. A gel manicure is $ 30, which is actually very reasonable for Drexel Hill, where I find many of the nail salons to be subpar, and the hair salons that feature gel manicures to be super expensive. However, the hand massage part of the manicure felt rushed, which I find to be true of a lot of nail salons in the area. I think next time I might request Tiffany, who was the next station over and very friendly/​talkative. Overall, I was surprised and pleased by my visit, and I could definitely see this becoming my regular (suburban) nail salon, especially with the late evening hours and Sunday hours.
One other note: You can use a credit card to pay, but tips must be in cash. There’s also an ATM a couple doors down.
***UPDATE:***
Once again, I’ve spoken too soon and have had to downgrade this from 4 stars to 2. A day after I got my gel mani done, it started peeling up one nail. Only a week after I got it done, it was peeling up or chipping on most of my nails. I’ve had gel manis elsewhere that lasted 3 WEEKS chip-​free, so I know this is not supposed to happen. I don’t know if their UV machines are bad (I personally think the 2-​hand ones always work worse than the 1-​hand ones) or if there’s some other issue, but I won’t be rushing back to get a gel mani there anytime soon.

Very competent and polite staff. I got a manicure and my mom got the axxium gel polish, both girls were fast, precise, and we loved our time here.

This place is great clean, friendly and fast. On Tuesday’s they have a special mani and pedi for $ 30.00 not bad they are open from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm Monday to Friday. The actual address is 1884 S State Road in Bond Shopping Center next to the Starbuck’s.
Treat yourself !!!

I have gone to Hollywood nails before for pedicure and was happy. This week I went in to get the «gel» nail polish and I feel I was over charged; they charged me for a manicure — $ 10.00 and «gel» nail polish $ 23.00 for a total of $ 33.00. I questioned the ladies who worked there when they told me the total (at the end), as I couldn’t believe that I was being charged for a manicure as a SEPARATE charge. At other nail salons, where I had gotten «gel» nail polish put on my nails the charge included a manicure — this included cleaning up/​manicuring my nails and cuticles, a hot towel wrap and a lotioned hand massage for the price of the «gel» polish job, (usually costing $ 20.00 to $ 25.00.) I am very dissappoined with this establishment as I feel they over charged me and even though I questioned the charge, they told me I was wrong. I’m curious if others are charged the extra when they have gotten the «gel?» Isn’t it called the «GEL MANICURE?»

Great manicure — quick and inexpensive with a really friendly staff. This place is big and always crowded but this time we didn’t have to wait more than a few minutes and they were actually ready for us before we had even picked our nail polish!
Manicure is nicely priced at $ 10.00 and I left with 10 perfect nails. I will definitely return as they do a good pedicure as well.
Stop in, sign in, go grab a Starbucks (a few doors down) and head back in to get pampered!

Went in for a polish change. It was clean, staff was friendly and the polish change was great. I only had a short amount of time and was out in 20 minutes. Not bad for $ 5.
