Beverly Hills Nails

I came to Beverly Hills Nails every 2 weeks for almost 3 years. I had a favorite technician, but if she was busy, I felt very comfortable seeing someone else. Over the last 5 or 6 months, the staff has completely changed. There are maybe 2 of the original staff from when I started coming here. The quality of work, the attitudes, the prices, and the cleanliness have all changed dramatically – for the worse – in that time, too. After giving them one last chance today, I’m done. It’s a Saturday afternoon, there are maybe 5 techs working, 7 people waiting (most, like myself, made an appointment), and no one has greeted anyone, apologized for the hold up, or reassured us that they would be with us shortly. I’m now using the Unilocal app to find a place and hoping they take walk-​ins. It’s a shame that I have to find somewhere new, but this place isn’t the same.

Got my acrylics filled 2 days ago. Although the shape looks good, all 10 of my fingers have cuts from the drill and the nail tech’s aggressive filing. My fingertips feel raw and are swollen, it hurts to use my hands. She cut me several times with the drill (at the time I thought it was just from having dry/​chapped fingers). The only first aid she did was pressing a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol for 2 seconds, which made it feel worse.
Highly disappointed with my service, went to get my nails done to look and feel good but just ended up being in pain and not able to use my hands.

1^st time going here. I went to get a full set of acrylic nails & the experience was wonderful. They took me as soon as I walked in the door. Everyone seemed very nice & pleasant. Brook did my nails & she was very cheerful, took the time to do my nails the right way. We had a great conversation & my nails came out perfect! I would recommend going here. I’m definitely going back again!

Terrible experience came in for a gel mani. The lady rushed that worked on me rushed through my mani and the gel polish started chipping within a couple of days.

Edit: it’s been a week since I paid $ 35 for a gel manicure and it’s so bad I’m about to take it off and put my own polish on. DO NOT GET GEL HERE!!!
I’ve been here quite a few times, but most recently I went for a gel/​shellac manicure. It chipped the next day and continues to chip pretty bad. Maybe because she didn’t seal the ends of the nails or file off the little scratchy pieces, however for $ 35 I don’t think I’ll be back for gel here.
I’d done the pink and white previously. They did an ok job, but I feel like they don’t clean up your nail beds like they should (i.e. All the dead skin they’d clean if you got a mani). It’s an ok place for a mani pedi but the price for shellac doesn’t seem worth the price since they aren’t near quality. Other places mind last 2 – 3 weeks.

Terrible experience. My wife went in to get her nails done, and they asked her where she is from. Then the woman asked, «is that your mom?» My wife replied, «that is my mother in-​law.» The woman then said, «she is not like you, are you adopted?»
So rude and unprofessional.

Ben is great — place is nice and centrally located.

Went for a mani/​pedi with a friend yesterday. They took us right away which was nice. They have a huge selection of gel colors. We sat next to each other in pedi chairs and I was done before she even had polish on her toes. Obvious quality control issues when one pedicure is getting ten more minutes of attention than another. I was originally going to just get a regular mani but decided to do a gel so it would last longer since I was there and paying. Well, I didn’t realize until I was finished that they charge a full $ 26 more for shellac than a regular mani. The organic salon I usually go to in Lawrenceville only upcharges $ 15, so I was pretty shocked when I got my bill!
Other than being fast, my toes look fine. I have a gross black toenail from running and she painted extra coats of polish on it for me to try and cover the bruising, which was nice. The nails are just ok. She made me bleed on one finger when cutting my cuticles, which I hate. Seriously, be careful. There was some pooling of the polish on the bit of cuticle that remained on some of the nails, so that is disappointing. Also, some of my nails don’t look evenly coated. I did get a very light nude color and I know it’s harder to make those look even, but for that upcharge I just expect perfection.
I’d give it a 2.5 if I could, and would probably have rounded down to a 2 if I had been alone, but I rounded up to 3 because my friend had a pretty good experience. She wanted white nails for her bridal shower this weekend, and the tech informed her that the white polish often wrinkles in the UV light. It did indeed wrinkle, many times, but he kept working at it until he got it right, and they looked great after. He also told her to come back in if it chips at all before her shower on Saturday and he would fix it, so I’ll give them a 3 star rating. I don’t know my tech’s name, but my friend’s tech was Ben, and I would recommend asking for him if you’re going to give this salon a try. Otherwise, I’d suggest looking elsewhere unless you’re in a pinch.

I usually get my nails done every other Saturday and I decided to try a new place because it is close to my work. The nail tech was very friendly, and at first I loved my acrylic nails. After about 3 days the polish started chipping or fading off around the edges. I don’t think it was the polish, because I use the same brand each time. After about a week the polish on one of my index fingers was almost gone. Another nail was almost completely polish free before it broke off while I was lifting a backpack. Might go back and see a different technician, might find somewhere else.

It’s a worst salon I have been so far… They offer u higher packages as soon as you go in. i got pedicure done the person did the whole thing in 10 mins. The polish was not done right over all very very dissatisfied

I was thoroughly underwhelmed by this salon. I travel quite a bit for work and never have time to pamper myself. Tonight I had a couple of hours off so I thought my hands could really use a manicure. I guess that was not in the cards. I arrived 40 minutes before they closed was assured they could take care of me. I got a gel manicure? What I mean is I paid $ 30 to get gelish put on my nails with minimal buffing. There was no lotion used or massaging. Maybe I am just spoiled but I don’t think that the term manicure means you just get Polish put on your nails. Needless to say I left frustrated that my hard earned money was wasted here. I would never recommend this nail salon and recommend if your employees want to leave you shouldn’t accept clients an hour before you close.

A few of my bridesmaids and I tried this place 2 days prior to my wedding. I started off with a basic pedicure with Katie (I think her name was Kim Katie?). She completed my pedicure way too quickly and didn’t even remove all of my cuticles! In addition, my friends and I were continuously asked if we wanted to «upgrade» our pedicure so they could make more money. It was very annoying. I was then told to move to the manicure area to get a gel manicure with Katie. I have had MANY manicures in my lifetime and never have I not had my cuticles removed. Did I mention my nails looked pretty bad when I got there so they absolutely needed removed. My manicure took about 15 minutes and looked like crap when I was finished. I watched my other bridesmaids get their cuticles removed and hands massaged like a regular, good manicure should be. I then went to talk with one of my friends to vent about how I unsatisfied I was with my nails. My nail tech ended up seeing up chatting and asked what was wrong. I told her I had never experienced a manicure so quickly and that didn’t include cuticle removal. She was irritated that I wasn’t satisfied but I refused to leave there with my nails looking like I had a manicure one week earlier.
To top it all off, the gel manicure chipped the day after my wedding; therefore it lasted only 3 days. Our experience was not pleasant. I will not be returning to Beverly Hills nails.

My experience here was wonderful! But the result, not so much. I got a gel manicure, not even two days passed and two of my nails chipped. By day four, 3 of my nails started to peel around the cuticles. Not to mention the paint job was kind of sloppy, missing part of my nails. And when filing my nails, the nail tech made them all crooked with uneven length. I don’t remember the name of the nail tech, but I wouldn’t want them again.
I would go back for another manicure. Just would not get the gel because I don’t to waste $ 40 on a manicure that didn’t last for more than two days again.

Katie was my nail tech and she was awesome! She just started here at Beverly Nails but she did an amazing job. I came in to get a manicure and pedicure but she introduced me to Solar Pink and White nails. My nails turn out perfect! I had a wedding to go to and I couldn’t wait to show them off. I highly recommend this place and most importantly ask for Katie! She’s nice and friendly but book an appointment bc it does get busy in that shop

Worst manicure I’ve ever had. I came in for a gel manicure. The place is nice, and seems clean enough. I didn’t have to wait, which was nice. However, my manicurist (a male) totally ignored me, and spoke in his native language to all the other manicurists. He did a terrible job rounding my nails and rushed through as quickly as he could. There is a good amount of polish now UV-​rayed to the skin around my nails, since he put too much polish, and the color isn’t even. If I wanted a manicure this bad, I would have done it myself. Worst $ 30 I’ve ever spent (I paid less in downtown DC for much better), I’ll never come back.
And if you’ll notice, all of the bad reviews of this place have been relegated to the «not currently recommended» area. Pretty sketch, Unilocal

Currently in process of mani/​pedi! Already pleased to write my Unilocal!They’re doing a phenomenal job thank god someone in this city knows how to properly pedi!!! They have like 10 pedicure options alone! Very clean and they offer a child’s mani pedi option too! They have cute little pink chairs for the kids I love it! Yay for new finds!

Ask for Michelle ! She does the best shilac ! Mine lasted for 1 whole month when she did them !! She is experience and young. Make an appointment because she’s always busy with a customer

I had a good experience at Beverly Hills Nails. I got a gel manicure and a regular pedicure for $ 55, which is lower than I have seen some other places. I was there 9 days ago, and the gel has not shown even the slightest hint of chipping.
They also have Sunday hours, which many other nail salons in the South Hills do not have. My manicurist was also friendly enough, and did a good job. I’d go back for sure.

Do not believe any negative reviews you read about this place. It really is as good as it gets in the area. I’ve been getting manis/​pedis in the Bridgeville/​Greentree/​Banksville area for the last three years and this is by far the best one. It is extremely clean compared to some of its competitors. The employees are all very good at what they do and Donna, the owner, is really sweet. Jasmine and Brooke are my go-​to technicians, but if they are not available, I’ve had good experiences with others as well. The pedicure chairs are newer and I witness the techs cleaning EVERY tool they used before and after. As long as I am in this area, I will never go anywhere else.

Decided to try the new place. Overall I enjoyed my experience. Nice new massage chairs. Clean, new, well-​maintained interior. The chemical smell you can have in a nail place is properly vented and not too bad. The pedi looked great when I left but I did notice a couple of days later, the guy didn’t do an expert job on shaping my nails. I guess I’m more of a 3.5 now. Will probably give them another try.
