Grand Design Nail Salon

My 1^st experience was ok.
2^nd experience was great & the improvements I was looking for have been made.
NOTE: You need an appointment especially busy fri & Sat or its a «big good luck!»
Well, at least your not waiting.
Confining interior & not fancy.
4 nail chairs.
4 pedi stations.
It’s smaller than average.
Waxing too.
Jackie did an excellent job on my pedi.
She’s like a magician! Which is to say she transforms your feet as if they’ve always looked this way ;) she really takes her time & gives your feet serious attention.
I’d been waking all over Paris for a week so this girl worked hard!
However, 1^st time no new packaged sterilized tools were offered. No removable sterilized tubs or new loofah for pedis.
They use sterilized tools now BUT not the new out of package. They still need to add disposable pedi tub liners!

Everyone here is lovely and I’ve never left unsatisfied, I’m happy to see they are busy because places like posh need to be put in their rightful place. … or out of business all together. Just remember to call ahead of time because it’s so tiny. Hopefully they’ll be able to expand at some point, really sweet ladies.

I went to the salon yesterday for the first time. I’ve been to a few salons in Fairfield/​Southport on Post Road and this is definitely the best one. The owner, Lyda, is very pleasant and accomodating. Sothy gave a wonderful mani/​pedi — she is very nice, cheerful and was very very thorough. This was by far the best mani/​pedi I’ve had in years. I highly recommend!!!

This place is legitimately five star and hands down the best nail place in the area. I’ve been going here consistently for about a year and a half, every two weeks for a mani and every four weeks for a pedi. My nails are done by Sothy (pronounced Sotee) but seriously everyone there is topnotch. The entire business is immaculately clean. Sothy literally does a perfect job on my nails. I mean, flawless, and it lasts the entire two weeks at least (UV gel manicure). I have never been anything less than 100% satisfied with the services; and even if I do get a little chip, they always allow me to come back and get it fixed free of charge.
What really puts this place in a class of its own, however, is how friendly and kind everyone is there. They all greet you by name no matter who’s client you are, ask how you are, and will legitimately do anything to make you happy and comfortable. A real gem.
Call for an appointment though, walk ins can be hard because they are always booked with regulars… and for very good reason.

Read the reviews and also didn’t see how it could be all 5 stars. I called last minute to make an appointment and was accommodated quickly. I didn’t see a price list or menu of options but I asked for a pedicure and was well taken care of. It was more extensive than a «spa» pedicure at other salons and I left with beautifully done toes and smooth feet. I watched them greet regulars as they came and left and as I readied to leave I was greeted by name and felt appreciated for my business. I’ll be sure to come again! Jenny took care of me and she was great!

This is my favorite place to get my nails done in Fairfield. I had been going to Posh because I like the atmosphere there, but the quality of the mani/​pedi that you get here is superior for the same amount of money. Your nails actually last after having them done here as well, and you do not feel like they’re rushing you through to get to other customers, as is always the case at Posh. The staff at Grand Design is so friendly too. Definitely make an appointment as it’s a small salon.

I really could not understand how every review on here is 5 star, but now after going yesterday afternoon, I totally get it!
I called ahead as I was picking up my mom from the ferry and wanted her birthday to go as smoothly as possible. I needed our time to be 12:30, and at first it seemed like they were busy, but they literally did everything in their power to get me in for that time slot, and they did!
The unbelievable professionalism displayed by Jackie and Jenny, and the rest of the staff was something I have never seen in a nail salon.
As someone said in a review below, why pay $ 25 for a mani pedi tthat you are disappointed with when you can pay $ 35 to be treated great and it will last for twice the amount of time. That is a no brainer for me!

My new favorite place to get my nails done! The lady who did my nails (I think her name was linda but I can’t remember) did an excellent job. She took her time and was very friendly. I will certainly be coming back next time I get my nails done!

Excellent ! Today was my first day and i really love it !!! This girl her name is SoTHy shes amazing she did my pedicure and mani ! Great professional and she’s so sweet and kind !!! One of the best thing is that she works without rush sooo that make her work excellent, she takes all the time your pedi/​mani needs also meet Lyda and Jackie and they were soo nice with mee !!! Of course i will come back and ask again for SOTHY !

Made an appointment three days prior for a friend and I to both get gel sets. When we arrived at our scheduled time the woman told us that she wouldn’t have time for us because she hadn’t planned accordingly and booked over our appointment. Fortunately, we called Tiffany nails and they were able to take us right away.

Best place in Fairfield for mani and pedis. So nice and not pretentious. Prices are reasonable and they are consistently good. My pedis last for weeks! Sothy (pronounced Sotee) is my go to. She takes her time and my nails always look perfect.

I saw Jackie today for a regular mani/​pedi ($ 35 together) having her use a razor on your feet adds only $ 5 to the pedi.
OK, so I was so totally pleased with this place in every way!!! Clean, friendly, helpful and gracious. I’d been getting bargain $ 25 m/p’s that cannot stand next to the job done by Jackie today. It is so worth it to spend just a little more to have the job done carefully and correctly. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Finally broke up with the over highly rated Posh salon after receiving the worst manicure last week. Tried Grand Design after reading very favorable reviews on Unilocal.Salon tiny. Clean. Jackie gave me a great manicure, pedicure and massage and even stayed late to finish. Only 4 techs working in the salon. All very welcoming and friendly. Reservations a must. I’ll be back!

Love this salon and so psyched it is so close to my Flip Flop Shop!!! I will be a regular now!!!

I had to change my appt time and there was no problem. My mani/​pedi is just as I wanted. Staff was friendly and welcoming. While I was there the technicians greeted many of the customers by first name which led me to believe that these people were regulars. A good sign when clients want to return. I will definitely return and will recommend it to others.

After reading the reviews on this salon, I decided to walk in for a mani pedi. I chose to get a shellac manicure, and even showed the lady (forget her name, but she was great) exactly how I wanted my nails to look. Not only did she immediately understand what I wanted, but she made my nails look even better than the picture I showed her! I noticed when I was there that the phone was ringing off the hook for appointments which impressed me. Everyone working there is super friendly and really put in an effort to make you feel comfortable. I will most definitely be coming back!

I rarely get my nails done, so this was a treat for me. I decided to get a shellac manicure and a regular pedicure. I am horrible with names, but the woman who did my nails did a fantastic job. The pedicure was so relaxing, and my shellac looks great! The place is tiny, but that’s not a problem. Staff made me feel very comfortable and I enjoyed the conversation but didn’t feel forced to talk, since it was early in the day and I wanted to just relax and rest my eyes. I have been to places that made me feel rushed and uncomfortable– so to find a setting I feel relaxed in was great. I will definitely be back soon. Thanks ladies!

I love this salon, it is the only one I will go to anymore in Fairfield. I see Jackie for a Shellac manicure, she is a darling. But all the girls will do an excellent job.
