Emma’s Nails And Spa

As if Emma’s Nails could get ANY BETTER –Andy (the owner) did some remodeling and it looks BEAUTIFUL! Same great staff, same great service and new amazing atmosphere.
Andy and his staff really care about their clients. There was a mix up one week where another women was mistakenly put it front of me to receive her services, Kim (my favorite nail tech) informed Andy and two weeks later when I returned he pushed me up on the list (so I didn’t have to wait) and matched me up with Kim.
I absolutely LOVE this salon and even though I moved 30 minutes away, the drive is well worth it.

I am writing this review from LA because I miss this place so much. It’s affordable and Andy ALWAYS does a great job. I am very picky about my nails. My friend and I have gone and tried over 10 nail salons in Philadelphia no matter how far the drives are and always end up unsatisfied. Andy’s acrylic game be on point!!! The other staff members are also great in their work from what I’ve seen from my friend’s results :)

I was referred to Emma’s Nails about 3 months ago and I absolutely LOVE it. Andy does the best job on my nails. All the staff is very nice and professional. They do whatever they can to accommodate your needs. They actually take time on your services to make sure your a happy customer,

I don’t get what the hype is about. While I do like how my gel nails look, I think that my nail tech rushed through the whole process and I didn’t feel like this place has good quality. Only went here because my usual place was closed, maybe it is because I am comparing this place to my regular– but I didn’t like just about everything about this place… I didn’t even see them disinfect my tools. Didn’t wanna say anything about it but she brought it out a a tray that looked like a surgery tray or a dental office type… I suggest skipping this place and going to Chrissy’s Nails instead…

this was always my go to nail salon! but today i am putting my money else where!!! i just got my nails done a day ago and paid $ 60 for my feet also and my nail broke and i cane in twice and waiting 3 hours each day to get my nail fixed i finally got it fixed and they want to charge me again after i just paid the other day!!! i am pissed i will never come here ever again!!!

Every time I come home from VA I always make sure to make an appt here. Love this place! They do such a great job every time! They’re super friendly too! Will definitely be back.

This is my fav nail shop, I’ve been coming here every 2 – 3 weeks since May. The customer service is always good and so is the price. The only reason I didn’t give 5 starts is because a few of the nail techs are not as good as the others and when it’s busy you can’t pick the person you want, leaving you stuck with someone who may be average. I always get a gel mani and pedi and it’s $ 35. A lot cheaper from prices I’m used to in California.

Found this salon on Unilocal after I just moved here. Took everyone’s advice and asked for Andy.
Preface: I am rediculously and annoyingly picky with my acrylic nails. Especially the paint job. I expect the powder to lay thinly over my natural nails and even. Tips straight across and the sides filed even or my type-​A personality would pick at it.
I wouldn’t let Andy apply gel the first time because I’m always naturally afraid that if I don’t like the paint job, I can’t just take it off at home. He insisted that he’s different and I give it a shot. I warned him that if make it take it off and start over if I didn’t like it.
He did an absolutely amazing job. Please see the picture below– sides, edges are 100% perfect. No streaks in the paint, especially since light milky colors are the most difficult to perfect. I travel half an hour from Center City to go here (I’ve tried 10+ salons in Center City and they’re all mediocre).
Seriously, go to Emma’s– ask for Andy (bald headed Andy since there’s two) and you won’t be disappointed.
I trust him enough to even let him pick this color before even looking at it. And that says a lot for a control freak like myself.

I was in the neighborhood, and decided to give this place a try. I was called quickly and I picked my color. From the beginning I could tell that the tech was a novice, as another customer stated nail sizing and shaping should be 101 especially if you are working on customers paying full price. I am not at all happy with the outcome if my nails, the lengths are uneven, and the shapes are off. Now I have to pay again to have someone else fix them. Double the price. I understand that they need to learn so why not have someone with experience supervise their work. Or at least let paying customer’s know that, the person working on them is learning. So for the nails I really do not give the stars, what I do give stars for if the eyebrow tinting. The young lady was amazing and she explained the whole process.
In all will I go back not really i will stick to my usually.

They treat their customers like long time friends & family. Work is superb. They are able to create extravagant and fancy designs with many colors, art designs & jewels or just simple and classy looks as well. I love that diversity. Very professional but laid back and welcoming environment. Kid friendly, which I LOVE. Everyone is nice, and their customer service is A1. The best nail spa in Northeast Philadelphia.

This nail salon is amazing! Me and my best friend are gonna be going all the time now! prices are good, staff is super friendly and talented. My nails have never looked this good ever and I’ve been getting them done for years and never have they looked this good! I totally recommend them.
Also there facilities are super clean.

I can’t say enough about this place! I came from DC where a UV fill was $ 50, here it’s only $ 35 and they’re so good! Tony has been doing my nails since August and he is awesome. Recently I messed up a nail I had done for NYE and Andy multitasked so well and so efficiently to fix my nail like it was NOTHING. He really knows his stuff. This place is under renovation, new bowls, pedi chairs, paint and décor. The prices are great and everyone here is absolutely meticulous. 5 stars all the way.

Had Chanthu (I think that’s how you spell her name) do my nails and I love it! She gave me exactly what I wanted and I couldn’t be happier. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I usually get gel manicures and they always stay on for at least two weeks. What makes Emma’s so great is that everyone is really good at what they do, so your nails will look great every time no matter who is doing them!

Got my nails done here yesterday for the first time. Went to Kim based off of Maureen’s review. She is good! Very thorough, pleased with her work and care.
$ 25 mani pedi if you pay cash, $ 30 with card.

Love this place! Very busy (even on a Wednesday) but doesn’t stop everyone from being so friendly and accommodating. I came in with an idea that I wanted for my nails and I am very pleased with how they came out… It took a lot of effort but he was very skilled and efficient. Will definitely be coming back, and I will try a pedicure next time.

Love this place. So clean, friendly and professional ! Relaxing and fast service. I define my recommend this place. I think I mentioned in my last review its only $ 25 for a mani and pedi.

I’ve been to 4 technicians here, and every single one of them was good. I used to always hesitate about having men do my nails, but the 3 (or 4) guys that work here (Andy, the owner being one of them) do a kick-a$@ job. Vi is also great too.
I am sure the rest of the technicians do well, because Andy is a bit of a tyrant when it comes to giving the perfect manicures, gels and acrylics and he will watch over other techs when needed, to make sure they are doing the right thing.
I have also had my eyebrows waxed by Vi, and was really pleased.
This is my new go-​to salon and I hope none of the techs leave.

I barely ever get my nails done, so while searching for a new place to try, I came across Emma’s on Unilocal.All the great reviews had me right in the car and on my way. I have a bad finger biting habit, so I thought some cute nails would help me curb it. Andy really delivered! I came in unsure of what I wanted, showed him a few pictures of cute polka designs I liked, and he pulled through with awesome gel mood nails!
Great prices, extremely friendly, and they do an amazing job!

I have only used the services of mani/​pedis here since they also do wax. But I am not sure if this is a place I will get my wax done — I’d rather do it where that is an expertise.
I love this place because they have the best quality gel products and care in this area (OPI and gelish original products and OPI LED equipment, a plus and a premium that it’s not UV!). They also properly remove the gel from nails. From my observation each person (Andy, Vi, Kim, Tiff, etc) that works here is really good and you can trust all of them. I’m a gel fan over Shellac bc it lasts longer and hence explains why this place also have so many choices of colors.
I recommend you to get an appointment during the weekdays b/​c it lessens the stress of waiting and also helps the flow of this place. I see a lot of people just show up without appointment just to get turned away or wait a bit of a while just standing there. Not the best way to spend your precious time…
They also have quality pedicure seats and properly disinfects them. The seats have a massage feature which is great.
Not only I love this place for their gel manis and diverse selection of colors, but I also love this place because they are very creative at making nail art which is something I love. The people are also very friendly so it helps to be nice to them so that this place stays open and they don’t move away from this area as it is such a gem in this neighborhood…
