Q Nails

Went here for the first time today because I wanted to surprise my mom with a mani/​pedi and a couple services for myself. Needless to say I don’t think I will ever come back. I had high hopes for this place and was utterly disappointed. Their prices are actually really good and affordable, but from the moment I walked in the door to the time I left, I was very unimpressed. I felt very uncomfortable the whole time I was there and it was blatantly obvious they were talking about my mother and I. Obviously they were talking in another language, which is fine, but its easy to tell when someone is talking about you which is not fine. It hasn’t even been a day and one of my nails have already popped off. Their work was ok, but the overall atmosphere and experience there makes me not want to ever go back.

Service is awful. The owner/​boss lady is plain rude. I get the feeling they get away with this because the location keeps them busy. They are far from the cleanest salon I’ve been to also. I will going elsewhere.

First time coming here today… And I will never come back here again!!! The lady who started to do my nails but said she would charge $ 10 more because she said my nails were «long to her» is the RUDEST person I have everrr met. They speak no English. And are way over priced. I have never been treated that badly at a nail salon in my entire life. I will tell everyone I know to stay far away from there!!!

This isn’t a fancy spa or anything, but it gets the job done. I’ve been coming here for about two years, mostly because it’s open late, close to home and the prices are good. There are swankier nail salons for sure, but I’ve never left anything but satisfied.
I’m surprised by the negative reviews — don’t expect anything fancy, but for convenience and price, this is a very good local option.

I’ve gone to Q nails a few times and generally am not satisfied. The appearance of the salon is cluttered and run down. Half of the nail polish selection looks like the same beige color from being left out in direct sunlight over a long period of time.
The massages are nice but the nail technician usually screams across the room to carry on their conversation in their native language throughout its duration. Did I mention that they do not speak English? It’s a struggle to communicate with them about services, preferences and most importantly– price.
The technicians have all been rough, nearly pulling my fingers out of their sockets or grabbing at my ankles to pull the rest of my body closer during a pedicure.
The last time I went, the technician could not communicate with me if the price she was charging on my card was including the tip or not. When I handed her cash as a supplement to the tip she scoffed and actually laughed at the $ 5 bill. Their price isn’t competitive enough to act the way they do.
To top all of this off, I contracted a nail fungus under my toenails from the salon.

I’ll never go back. Just left and it looks like a child painted my nails. Not one of them are the same shape. Nail tech got up the use her cell phone twice without saying a word and she cut me 3 times with a dirty file. Disappointed is an understatement!

I accidentally stumbled upon this place one night because it was the only nail salon I could find that was open past 7 – 7:30. I believe they’re open til 8 or 8:30. Fantastic, friendly, & prompt. I always get right in & they do such a great job! They even give u a small hands on back massage while u are getting your nails done. I always get shellac mani & regular pedi. Most places charge about $ 60 – 65 this service, they only charge $ 50 – 55. This is now my go-​to nail salon.

I went here twice. Once for a pedi and the other for a nail repair.
The first time they were ok but I was not impressed. When i went for my nail repair the lady was rushing and was rude I will not be going back again

Not very nice… I have been twice because I am in need of a good manicurist. This makes the 4^th salon in my area and still no luck!!! Anyway, the owner is «barky» if that makes sense… she is very stern and abrupt and in the middle of my 2^nd drying session she yelled at me «You pay now!». I kinda looked at her like lady. calm down and get out of my face with the yelling. My first visit was similar she abruptly kicked me out of the massage chair after my pedicure and barked, «you sit in there!». Instead of sitting I just walked out the front door. The other staff are decent but the owner should get a mussel and not be allowed to interact with customers. Will not be returning…

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!
I was in dire need of a fill in on my only night off work one week and couldn’t make it to any of my usual favorite nail salons after running errands all day. Q Nails happened to be the only shop convenient to my area that was open later. You know how in horror movies the one lit up house on a darkened street is the exact one you shouldn’t go into? I guess that stands for nail salons too.
Q Nails has that kind of dismal, 90s strip mall vibe inside. Dated stock photos lined up on otherwise unpainted walls, basic cable flickering in and out on the overhead television, no music, loud, rows of clearly overworked technicians. Bummer. I’m the kind of girl who can get past all that, but when I was called over (okay, hollered at) to sit at a table, I noticed the kind of worn, not-​so-​sparkling appearance of the entire place. I told myself it was okay — just a fill in, right?
And so it seemed. Until the next night when three of my nails broke — yes, THREE. What was I doing to damage a fresh fill in so swiftly? Clapping. At an all ages concert. I’d hate to see the state my claws would’ve been in if I was actually rowdy. When I finally went to one of my regular salons, the technician actually asked where I’d gotten it done and shook her head.
Do yourself and go somewhere else. Anywhere else. Like the Wal-​Mart nail salon is probably cleaner and better quality. But don’t quote me on that, I’m the novice who wandered into the Last Nail Salon on the Left despite fellow Unilocaler’s warnnings!

This is my favorite «cheap» nail salon in Charlotte. $ 30 for a mani/​pedi combo and they do a GREAT job. I have been to the expensive salons in town and nothing beats this place. Sure it isn’t super fancy, but their polish job is superb and it lasts longer than other places. My favorite part… the main/​pedi comes with a mini neck/​shoulder rub to help you relax!

Do not go to this place! They did a terrible job! I went there for a pink and white fill and the result looked worse than before i even filled them. They offered to try and cover up their own mistake by painting my nails black. Very embarassing! Left upset &unhappy. Please beware of this place!!!

Yes I’m here again… The Duchess of Q-​Nails. I do enjoy their promptness & friendliness as well as their great service.
I haven’t found any where else in Charlotte that I would go to on a regular basis.

UN-​sanitary! I would have left right away, but I was already into the manicure when I noticed the dirty floors and dirty tables. The lady who was working on my manicure had an open cut/​rash on her hand and should definitely been wearing a pair of gloves. After using the tools, she would throw them down on the dirty table and then re-​use them. Ew. It was not a good experience.
