Bella Nails & Spa

The gentleman that did my nails was wonderful funny and polite. He asked me if I liked the way my nails were shaped and everything. Gave me a paraffin treatment and massage which was wonderful. I would of gave the place 5 stars but the lady who did the design on my nails didn’t do a good job so I can’t which sucks because the place was nice and the people were friendly. I would go back there again but I won’t ask for a design or just have someone else do it.

My go to nail place in Baltimore! Great job with gels, and their pedicures have some add-​ons that take things to an amazingly spa-​like next level.
I feel like my manicures usually end up lasting 3ish weeks, and I always get the shape I want. Plus there’s a hot wax dip, and I’m a sucker for that.
It seems clean and well kept, and I’m a borderline germ freak. Pretty good magazine selection, and the always tempting offer for wine!

Not great. Underwhelmed. Seemed like they gave me someone in training. Didn’t listen to what I was asking for. I will not be coming back.

Vicky did a great job on my full set! She helped me pick out the chocolate color that I wanted and I love it so much. Thank you so much! I’m very pleased. After looking for a salon in the area (because I’m new to Baltimore) I think I’ve found one!

Though I only got the classic pedi it was very nice. Enjoyed a glass of wine. I like coming on weekdays because parking in the area can be difficult. This is my new favorite place!

Always a great place to stop in for a mani/​pedi. Great massages and wonderful gell selection which always stays on for 2 weeks. Lovely customer service and folks. Absolutely love Bellas!

I completely see why they are 4.5 stars best pedicure I have had in a long time!!! Awesome service!!!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I moved out here from Los Angeles and have spent 9 months trying to find a place that does nails at the level I’m used to. Lucky for me I finally found Micheal at Bella nails and am beyond in love. The service is amazing and the quality of their work is worth the 2 hour drive I make to get my nails done here!

I’ll be short and sweet. I’m a guy who gets a pedicure once every over month. The pedicure overall was one of the better ones I’ve had (not the best)…up until the end.
They were taking their time and doing great job at first. However, while they were using that cheese grater looking thing for the bottom of your feet, another couple walked in and sat down. And all of a sudden everything SPED UP. The 15 minute massage became a 7 minute one. The hot towel wrap was being taken off before it was all the way wrapped. Slapped my calves twice and said go over there to dry. If those ppl wouldn’t have showed up they probably would’ve continued with their precision and it would’ve gotten 5 stars… too bad.

Being in and out the hospital for weeks visit of, i needed a mental break and def nail attention. I found Bella Nails off Unilocal.I called an Über and headed over .cute shop located right off the street. walked in no wait. HUGEEEE selection of colors which I loved! The lady who saw me was in the first row first seat (sorry didn’t ask name) did an excellent job! Prices reasonable and clean shop. Atm located in shop which was very Convenient! Def will go back next time in here from Florida :)

I had a wonderful experience at Bella Nails & Spa. I received acrylic French glitter manicure, French pedicure, and waxing services. The service was top quality and was provided in an efficient manner. Everything was complete in around 2.5 hours. The staff were personable and talented, and the facility was clean. I always look forward to relaxing in the massage chairs with complimentary beverages. Vicky collaborated with me to recreate the exact look I desired. 2 weeks out, the manicure & pedicure are still in pristine condition, which is rare because I’m an exercise maniac whose hands & feet take a beating. Will return soon!

Was in town on business and needed a pedi-​had a terrible ingrown toenail. Based on reviews I chose Bella. I called first to see if they could manage me due to it being pretty deep and was assured they could. Maria took great care of me and I could have hugged her when she successfully fixed my sore toe. And-​the pedicure itself was wonderful. The salon was clean, quiet and pleasant. The area seemed trendy and hip but I was not able to take the time to explore. I highly recommend this place!

I would just recommend going somewhere else. I had a gel manicure done and my nails chipped 3 days after having it. Additionally, I had to wait 45 minutes (with a reservation) just to be seen. It always seems like they are understaffed and accept too many people at once. You can get a better and less rushed experience elsewhere.

They really took the time to make sure I loved my nails! It was a great gel manicure. They paid close attention to my cuticles as well as the corners of my nails. I will definitely be making this my new spot!

I love this place. The décor is calming, the prices are reasonable, and the service: impeccable! I had the pleasure of Theresa attending to my toes. She is the ultimate callus remover — she really went to work. She didn’t even take time to wipe the sweat from her brow, SHE. WENT. IN. And now I can feel confident flashing my bare toes in yoga this week (I was getting tired of my yoga instructor yelling at me to remove my socks. I wasn’t ready!)
Within 3 minutes of sitting down in their comfy massage chair, I was offered a glass of wine. I asked how much extra for the booze, but the owner flashed a nice smile and poured me a glass of rosé. And a bottle of water. Classy move. ;)
Big thanks to Theresa and the rest of the staff at Bella’s. I love y’all!

Gotta edit my previous review for this place. The proprietor of the establishment is NOT good. Her workers (the Spanish speaking ladies) are fantastic, but the owner is not. I told her my nails are really thin and sensitive so when removing my gel nails, I asked her to use the acetone and foil. She said «it’s okay» and then used the grinding tool to grind my nail down. She even nicked my skin a few times!!! At one point I asked her to stop using the tool and just use acetone and she was like «okay I slow down for you» and just changed the grinding setting to a lower speed. Wtf, that is not what I asked you to do. Two stars for the inability to listen to your customers, lady.

I had my first pedicure there and don’t regret it. My feet are soft, my legs relaxed and the nail polish of very good quality. I’m planning to go there regularly now.
The staff is also very nice and the place very clean.

I love my manicure! I originally came in looking for a fill in and repair for my acrylics. It was hard trying to find a place in Baltimore that actually did acrylics and not gels, which is actually reverse than what I’m used to in Florida. Unbeknownst to me, my nails were in bad shape. I originally just thought that I needed two nails repaired, as one snapped in half and the other popped off completely, due to a poor nail job at a previous salon in my hometown in Florida. Turns out, all of my acrylics had somewhat lifted from the nail, hence the easy breakage. I had Vicky, and she was great! She recommended that we start fresh with the acrylics and I understood why.
I LOVED that Vicky was a perfectionist. She paid great attention to detail and really focused on what I wanted! I got the ballerina/​coffin nail shape, which is basically the almond or stiletto shape with the point cut off. Love them! They feel so much stronger and more secure than before. Great!
My mother also came with me to get a pedicure, but WITHOUT a polish change. She basically just wanted her feet soaked and scrubbed. lotion etc but without the polish aspect. She told her nail tech about 3 times this, as she just got her toes painted and did not need them changed. All of a sudden I hear my mom in the back yelling because the girl wiped off her nail polish and design that was previously on. She didn’t understand why the girl did this because she told her many times not to remove it. Then they tried the charge my mom $ 5 extra for the design they painted in place of the old one, but my mom refused to pay that.
All in all, this is a great place to get your nails done if you’re in the Baltimore area!

I came for a gel manicure and was left unimpressed. Mind you, I only get a gel mani once, maybe twice a year.
The nail tech cut my nails too short and the polish wasn’t applied as cleanly as it could’ve been as there was polish all around my cuticles. And the gel mani didn’t last two weeks which is the standard at most places. It started peeling around the end of the first week.
I did like the paraffin wax that they applied after the mani. It left my hands very soft and was just cool to look at. But, the nail tech applied the paraffin wax and then left me for about 10 – 15 minutes while she did another customer’s eyebrows. Kind of unprofessional. The atmosphere inside is cramped as well, so you definitely don’t get a «spa» feel here. Safe to say, I won’t be back.

Don’t be fooled by the great reviews.
The only reason why my friend and I ended up at this nail salon was because of the Unilocal reviews. I was totally juked into coming here. I hate to give a negative review for a local small business but the job they did on me was horrible. Not only can they not comprehend what I’m saying, but also the quality of their work is subpar. The manager lady just pretends she understands what you want in order to get you to sit down and get the manicure started (so they get paid).
My gel manicure lasted less than a week & a half. I am being pretty generous with that estimate. I walked away with mini bubbles in the polish AND the gel polish started peeling & chipping around the 1 week mark. I asked for an ombré design on only my ring finger. If you can’t do it, then just say so. Misleading customers will only annoy them, DUH. She also claimed that it was because my nails were too short, which is not a valid excuse because i’ve seen people have short nails with much more intricate designs than ombré. My nails weren’t even that short.
All in all, I will not come back here. I think this place is probably decent for a normal mani/​pedi, but the gel service I received was horrible. Gel polish should last AT LEAST 2 weeks. Even ‘Nail Trix’ over at McHenry Row is 100x times better.
