L C Nails

I’ve been coming to this nail salon for about 2 years now and felt it was time to write a review. The salon is spacious and clean and nicely decorated. The spa chairs for pedicures are comfortable and feature a massager.
They also use hand warmers after applying cuticle cream when getting a manicure. Feels so good!
I always ask for Amy since she does such a great job on my nails. Her pedicures and manicures are the best! I am very particular when it comes to any kind of personal grooming and this place is excellent.
I would like to see a little more variety with polish choices. Adding an organic line like Zoya would be a fabulous addition and a way to stand out from ordinary salons.

2.5 stars for me.
It was okay. I won’t be back though. The shop is spacious and well decorated, but smells a little like an old library… not a pungent odor, just something I noticed immediately. While the nail tech was nice, she was way too gentle with my gel mani and especially my pedi and probably spent more time on the lotion foot massage than actual cuticle cutting and shaping. Another issue was that their selection of nail polish was pretty lackluster. They had me pick out a regular color I liked for my toenails and then matched it with a gel color for the mani. I didn’t like that. I like matching color swatches and lots of nail polish and accent color choices. There was virtually no Essie or OPI polish choices and certainly none from their newest collections. Had I not already been to 2 nail salons that were unable to do my nails as a walk-​in as well as completely exhausted, I would have ventured elsewhere. The price point was okay, I paid $ 60 including tip for a basic pedi and gel mani, which is what I would was used to paying in Philly and B-​More, but I def did not have the same experience. The search for a great nail salon in Durham continues.

the staff is very friendly, but every time i go here i feel rushed, and my nails dont last more than a week.

It was really nice and they are sweet. The only problem I had is that under my nails the acrylic is folded down and I have to file it off and my fingers are a little sore from her squeezing them. I love it.

I hate to be the first to review and give a poor review but it is what it is. Overall my nails turned out fine… the guy did a good job on my pedicure but it felt rushed and I got a deluxe pedicure ($ 30). I wanted a manicure too and this other lady started giving me a manicure while I was sitting in pedicure chair!!! It made it feel so rushed and was very rude! I could barely enjoy my feet being rubbed because of this.
Oh– for the paraffin treatment they put a tiny bit of who knows what gel in a sandwich plastic baggy — and put it on your hands and then tell you to insert your hand into a legit folded HEATING pad… very odd.
The man working there and young lady were very nice but the older woman seemed unfriendly. A salon is supposed to be a relaxing environment where you go to get pampered… if someone tells you thank you (even if you don’t deserve it) say «you’re welcome»!
The place has a «grade A» sign but I found that so hard to believe. There were dirty used false plastic nail tips on my pedicure chair pull out table (where you know, you can put your magazine or a drink!) Also I never saw the lady doing my manicure wash her hands before working on someone’s eyebrows… gross.
So crazy. I will not be returning. Sorry.
