X O Nails

The lady that works there does a wonderful job at waxing my eyebrows. I am very cautious about who does my eyebrows, since I have had bad experiences in the past. She does a great job at waxing in general. As far as getting your nails done here, i have only gotten a pedicure here one time. It was very poor. The man there did them. He was very gentle but was not very good at cleaning them up and the paint job for french nails really sucked. it only lasted a week and it looked like if i had done them myself. I will not go back to get my nails done here. I will continue to go here and only here for any waxing that needs to be done.

I wanted my nails done so I stopped by X O Nails, I had been to them previously to fix a botched nail job by roses on franklin. Kim (owner) did a fantastic job redoing them last minute an even stayed open late to fix them for me. Today Alex (owner) did my nails he is Kim’s Husband. He did an amazing job doing my nails. Me like most woman in this town have a hard time finding any decent let alone great nail salons in Chapel Hill. However Alex did just that. He put two coats of acrylic down an spent 45 minutes making sure they were perfect :). When it came time to pick a color out I had picked one that was a little on the thin side and Alex told me right away that the color I picked was not best for my nails, I said okay could you help me and he told me the ones that would work best, I had even picked a dark color polish out and he again told me it would be to dark and to pick a lighter one and boy was he right, my color is perfect for me and my skin tone. He did such a great job and I can not wait to go back again. Every regular client that had been in their they had such a great report with them and they were so nice to everyone. Very clean too. They have an A+ rating and all the sanitizing equipment is out in the open so you can see them using it :). I highly recommend them to anyone from waxing, to pedicure’s and manicure’s you will not be disappointed. They do take walk-​ins but they can get busy so an appointment could not hurt.

Absolutely the worst manicure I have ever had.
When I sat down to get my nails done, the lady instructed me to put my nails in the bowl of water with a squirt of lotion in it. She immediately took them out and began to saw away at my nail beds using a cheap nail file (the kind you get when a business gives out promotional stuff). As she was watching Judge Judy, she took a nail block and continued to thin out my nail beds. She then squirted some cheap oil onto my hands and then told me to go wash them. After that, she cut down my cuticles, cutting me in the process. She glanced at my bloody thumb and continued cutting. At that point, I asked her to stop and said that I was not comfortable with the style of my nails and how thin they were at this point. She scowled and then I left.
