B A P’s Nail & Spa

Clean, friendly, great service and prices. My manicures and pedicures last FOREVER and the massage chairs, yes. Just yes.
So happy there is such a nice nail salon close by. If you’re in the area, you need to come here!

This place was great. When I first moved here over the summer, it was real slow. I was able to get in and out, and not have to wait. I was even able to get in on the weekends. Now I have a hard time getting my nails done. They say the best time to get your nails done is during the week, which is a lie. It does say Walk-​ins Welcome, but you have to make an appointment. I made an appointment during the week and she ran behind and was rushing me. The nails didn’t look great, but whatever. They even rushed on my pedicure. The last few times I went in during the week, they were busy and they turned me away cause they were so busy and booked for the rest of the day. This salon needs to be appointments only as you can’t get in even to get your color changed.

My husband had his first pedicure today! We both thought the service was great. We will return.

Okay, so I’ve gotten my nails done here a couple of times and they looked great! Seriously, no complaints about the quality of the work done here.
My main problem is the fact that every time I’ve been there or tried to go there, they never seem to have enough staff. I usually try to go during the week in the middle of day when the salon would be the LEAST busy, but one day I walked in around 11 am or so and there were only three nail techs working, and people waiting. As the only nail place in Sneads Ferry, they should anticipate being busy a lot and have more staff available.
If you want to get your nails done here, I’d recommend calling ahead of time.
UPDATE 4÷17÷16− They are CLOSED on Sundays. It says online they are open 1 – 6 but they are not. My friend and I tried to go get pedicures and they were closed. The front door also says closed Sundays. Maybe at one point they were open on Sundays but not anymore.

Great, knowledgable, affordable, easy! Could use more staff, recommend making an appointment even though they allow walk-​ins. The pedi chairs have awesome massage capabilities. Though in sum, not a «spa» experience if that is what you are after.

What a great place! Close to Base and Beach… This family really aims to please. Try to arrive a bit early because they take their time to treat each customer with care and personal attention. As a Dude, they spent almost and hour taking care of my abused hands and feet! (I would not want to touch them). Ladies, this is where all the Base wives go…

Friendly staff that is knowledgable and truthful. They had no problems explaining the differences in uv gel, acrylic, and pink and white nails! I love my nails!

I went in for a manicure and pedicure today. The woman told me they didn’t have enough staff to get my manicure done but they could do my pedicure. They were very busy so it was no biggie.
I got the deluxe pedicure and it cost $ 30. The chair was the nicest I had sat in before, so two thumbs up there. The pedicure consisted of lotion, massage, cuticle, polish, and a mask. When I left my right leg was green from the mask not being wiped off completely. I do wish that they put oil or lotion on at the end because my feet and legs feel and look very dry.
This was sort of strange, the guy doing my pedicure received a tip during my pedicure from his previous client. After she walked away (this was when he was almost finished with my pedicure) he commented about the food show that was on the tv at that time. He said he wished he could eat what they were eating on the show but he had to eat a sandwich at home because it’s all that he could afford. Uh… awkward!!! Uh… inappropriate!!! Uh… unprofessional!!!
I will return, but I wouldn’t pay for the deluxe pedicure again. I will go to a nicer salon that doesn’t try to hustle tips if I’m treating myself to a relaxing afternoon.

This place was great! I got a pedicure and a gel manicure. It was very relaxing and I felt like I got my money’s worth.
I went on a slow day and got plenty of attention. I will definitely be going back there.

You cannot get much better than BAPS. First, their prices are awesome and very affordable. The staff is also amazing and is very talented. I get nail art almost every
Time I go and it always looks just like the picture I bring in. Everyone is very friendly and the salon is incredibly clean.
They take their time and make sure the work is correct but I am still in and out within an hour. That’s great for a fill and gel polish plus the nail art.
The only negative could be the wait, however, I would rather wait for quality work than get right in at a place that isn’t going to do a good job. Make an appointment and there will not be a wait!
Pedicures are awesome as well. The basic is more thorough than anywhere else I have ever been. I always see Leah when I go in but you cannot go wrong with any of their staff.

This place is great — sparkling clean, great prices, friendly staff. Just about everything you want in a nail salon!
2 reasons I give it 3 stars vs 5: (1) they don’t seem to have enough staff. At most, I have only seen 3 nail technicians there. That’s a problem on a day like today when there’s a line and I sat on the couch for a 20 minutes and in the chair for 25 minutes (and counting) while my tub gets lukewarm because they have 3 gel manicures to do. There 6 pedicure stations and 6 manicure stations. (2) they don’t have the best brands of polish — some OPI (ok, very few) and lots of no-​name brands (and the brands they have include, no lie, Sally Hansen). Not trying to be a snob, but almost every other salon has Essie or at the very least China Glaze.
I also realize this review may sound very contradictory, but Sneads Ferry is a small town, so we take what we can get. I have had many more good experiences than bad… and I always bring my own polish.

Great pedicure! They have a $ 25.00 basic pedicure that is more detailed than any other place I’ve been. The massage chair is REALLY high tech. The butt massage is a bit much though. The staff are patient & friendly. It doesn’t feel like they are rushing you through. Unfortunately I have to deduct a star for my manicure… It started chipping within 3 days. It is vacation & other than washing a few dishes here & there I’m not doing much manual labor that would make it chip.

Good service, quick and very reasonably priced!

Interesting! Don’t judge this book by its cover. Located in a small strip mall off the 210 in Sneads Ferry towards the end. Very nicely appointed interior with a few padded chairs to the left and two huge puffy leather couches on the right. Prices seemed to be about right. The massage pedicure chairs were nice, and probably the most high-​tech ones I’ve ever sat in (butt massager!?)! They had a couple TV’s going too… travel channel. I hit them up during lunch and there were three people working… a bit if a wait, but bring a book (or iPad to catch up on Unilocal reviews).
As a guy I hate the sidelong sarcastic glances that some places give you when you walk in for a mani-​pedi, and was relieved that this was not one of those establishments. I’ve often felt rushed out of other salons, with subpar quality and attention to detail, but I was very pleased by my experience here.
Add the convenient location and I may have found my new place to go. There was a bit of a wait, but if you mind sitting in an awesome chair until its your turn just make an appointment.
Oh yeah…$ 5 off grand opening specials, too!

New owners have been here about 6 weeks. Got a great spa pedi– ‘the lemon drop’ with a scrub and paraffin (not recycled!) and a perfect gel manicure. Nice new equipment and tables, very friendly personnel, and I love the flower I got done on my toenails. They were very gentle on the cuticles and I didn’t get any chiding comments about my torn up bitten cuticles. I usually drive down to porters neck or wilmington to get a good mani pedi but I’m happy that now there’s a nice place close to home in sneads ferry! Pricing comparable to all the other in and out nail salons in the area. Also, they let you put the tip on the credit card! Bonus for those of us who rarely carry cash! Will definitely be back here!!!
