Allure Spa & Nails

Love Mimi! She always creates the most amazing nails for me based on what events I have coming up. I am always happy with how they look.

I’m so happy I brought my sister to Allure who was visiting from out of town! Allure’s hospitality is a great reflection of Nashville! We had beautiful gel manis with wine and good conversation! I can’t wait to go back!

Very polite and fast! I got a full set and my mom got a regular manicure. We both had a good experience.

Nice people, service was mediocre for the price.

Mimi will never let you down on your nails! She is the absolute best! Lisa and Tina are amazing at pedicures! :)

I walked in to get a gel manicure while I waited on my dress to be altered at a shop upstairs. I was greeted by their receptionist and immediately taken to a desk. Ivy did my nails and did a fantastic job. She’s such a sweetheart and so gentile as well. I forgot how nice it is to get your nails done and have an hour of relaxation. She even gave me a shoulder/​neck massage while I waited on the gel to set and then an arm massage after she was all done. I’ll definitely be coming back more often. Thank you, Ivy!

Don’t go here for acrylic. Going somewhere else to get them to fix my nails after going here. Also I feel like I need to ice them, they’ve been burned by the buffer and poked and pushed so hard!

The pedicures are fantastic and the tools are always clean. Both my big toes have ingrown toenails on one side, and they always cut those away for me which provides great pain relief. I just went yesterday and got my usual pedicure, but this time also got a manicure. I had two different women, one doing the pedi and one the mani. The woman doing my pedicure was FANTASTIC. She did a reflexology-​type massage on my feet, rotating my ankles and even popping my toes, which shocked me. I’ve never had my toes popped before but it made my feet feel brand new! My feet looked much better afterward. 5 stars for the pedicures, as always… now to explain the 2 (more like 2.5) star rating…
This was my first time ever getting a manicure at this nail salon. I requested acrylic to add a tiny bit of length to my nails (I’m a nail biter) with gel polish over top. The woman doing my nails seemed super rushed and a little bit rude, but that could have been partially because of the language barrier. The tips she was gluing on kept popping off, making me wonder how long they’d actually stay on. She had to re-​glue three back on and run off to get a different glue vial twice! The acrylic job is bumpy and uneven, the nails have no symmetry, they’re all different shapes and subtly different lengths, and she applied 4 (yes, 4!!) coats of gel polish on very quickly, adding to the bumpy, uneven finished effect. She left the cuticles unfinished and rough looking, and did not apply any oil or lotions after the fact. I’m less than satisfied, especially for a $ 50 nail job!
I think I may keep looking for a really good nail salon… I think there’s better out there and though I’ve been loyal to them so far, I think I can find better for the price.

Met all of my expectations! Great customer service, amazing color selection. I have had many gel manis. Her special care was amazing! The mani was so precise and beautiful, nothing I had to go home and clean up :)) Attention to detail was exceptional. I felt so special. Truly loved everything about the excellent work and care that Thy gave me! I will absolutely go back! PS: the massage was over the moon wonderful :))

I will absolutely go back to this place! Very clean, great massage chairs, excellent service. Very reasonable prices.

Nice, clean and less crowded than the other salons off Hillsboro. Kathy does a great job.

The more I come here, the more I start thinking I need to find a new nail place. When I first found this nail salon, they would take their time and give you their maximum effort to make sure you had a great pedicure. Now, with most of the Nail Techs seem rushed and unhappy to be there. It isn’t like there is ever a wait here either (which is why they still get three stars from me).
The last time I was there, I was with a friend who always insists on going elsewhere because she isn’t a huge fan of this place, but I insisted it would be better this time. Well, I was wrong. When we finished with our pedicures, the techs just left, leaving us sitting there without paying and they didn’t even bother to put my friends flip flops on before painting her toes. We sat their awkwardly for a a few minutes when we realized that she was not going to come back to help her with her sandals. Finally the girl at the front counter came to help when she saw our confusion, and knicked the paint job. When the original nail tech came back out, she acted very annoyed, then did a hack job at repairing the smudge.
They do have a great selection on OPI and Essie colors, the salon is clean and prices are comparable to other nearby salons, it’s just not enjoyable when you feel rushed.

UPDATE.
I used to love this place (see previous review), but after 3 poor experiences recently, I don’t think I’ll be back. Today I got a manicure and pedicure by Nina. When I got home, I immediately took my manicure off because it looked so bad. While she was doing my manicure, I asked «Are you in a hurry?» I wasn’t in a hurry, so I was definitely willing to come back. I even made an appointment beforehand. When I asked the question, she completely ignored me. I think they have hired new staff that just aren’t as good as the original staff. Bummer. The hunt for a good nail salon continues!

But a bad pedicure! And not a bad price. I really appreciate the time they took on the massage. They also were very very friendly and even offered me something to drink.
Did they do a superb job though? No. I’d say average. This is my first Nashville nail salon experience so I’m excited to see what other places offer!

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I love that they give you a shoulder massage! Definitely will be a regular.

Kathy the lady that helped me was rough, and kinda rude. She cut my acrylics shorter then i asked, rushed me to pick out a color, then did a poor job painting my nails. They offered everyone but myself a cold beverage, even after i expressed that i was kind of hot in the salon. Dont think i will return after this experience.

After my last review, the owners contacted me and offered to redo my pedicure. I didn’t have the time to go back for it, but felt it was only fair to share the positive experience of being offered and give them another star for the customer service.

I have been to Allure twice. Both as a walk in. The first time was great. Had the middle of the road pedi and a basic manicure. Everything perfect and I thought I had found my new place. Today not so good. Walk in early. There were three employees there. Two were attending to a? vip. The third did my pedi and when I told her I wanted the basic she rushed through. Massage was bad. She did it with gloves on. Was totally pathetic. Was really the worst pedi ever. In addition polish job was poor too. Another lady walked in and had to wait over 20 mins although the VIP I guess had to maintain two attendants.
I gave three stars bc my first experience was so good, but will only go back w an appt.

Being new to Nashville, I didn’t know where to go to get exactly what I wanted when it came to my acrylics. I am always so picky about the shape and length. I decided to try Allure and I am so happy I did because I needed a full so bad. Kim was amazing! She actually asked how short I wanted them and made sure the shape was perfect. She took her time when she filed them as well as painting them. It is so hard to find someone who cares about quality more than quantity. Never going anywhere else while I live here.

I’ve had nothing but the best experience at this salon!
I moved here about a month ago from LA, looked on Unilocal to see if there was a decent nail salon in the area, and Allure by far surpasses the word of decent. They have an incredible staff, that wants what is best for the client, which is very hard to come by. They’re amazing at what they do, and and smile while doing so. I had the pleasure of sitting down for the first time with Mimi, and haven’t been to another nail salon since.
They’re the bomb. 5 stars all around :)
