Nails Tech Salon

Thanks for always being able to accommodate walk-​ins. Yes it may be a little wait but their pedicures and pedicure chairs are the best in Winston Salem.

Really upset with my service here today. I arrived for just a pedicure, was put into one of their pedicure chairs with running water for more than 45 mins despite being told that it was just going to be 15 mins. My chair was really uncomfortable (arched forward, couldn’t lean back) and it took 15 mins to get anyones attention to fix that problem. When the lady doing my pedicure finally got started, she was not only unfriendly, but she also sprayed cold water on me while washing my feet and didn’t care to ask me if I was comfortable with the temperature. Then after doing the massage on my calves, instead of putting the acetone on a small piece of cotton and applying it just to my nail beds she literally poured the acetone across both of my feet with the bottle (which is extremely drying to your skin). She did take care to make sure that the nail polish was not on my skin and on my nail bed so the pedicure looked okay afterwards, but if I’m going to pay to get a pedicure, I expect better service and realistic estimations of how long the wait’s going to be.

I have a friend who got MRSA there due to poor sanitation! Beware and think about going elsewhere!

Went here 2 weeks ago for a full set of gel nails. I didn’t have an appointment and had about a 30 minute wait, which I expected since I was a walk in. I was sat with a woman who pulled out powder and acrylic with the word gel hand written on the container. She carried on a conversation with the tech next to her about how she was only going to be in town for a few more weeks. I asked was she moving and she said «no, I live in Florida. My brother owns this place» This concerned me, does she even have a license in this state? At the completion I washed my hands and she painted my nails with regular polish then sat me at the dryer. I was COMPLETELY unhappy with the results and that I was asked to pay for gel nails when she clearly only used powder and liquid. I went back the next day (when the original tech wouldn’t be there… From what I overheard a in the conversation) and had a woman named Lisa fix the monstrosity that was «gel» nails. She also refunded the difference between gel and acrylic b/​c she even agreed that what I received was not gel. If you go here PLEASE make sure you’re seeing a licensed tech that is truly employed there!

With my due date looming just 2 days away, one of my girlfriends suggested we go get pedicures. I have only had ONE pedicure prior to this one… Yup, I am not high maintenance in any way. So I don’t have too much to compare this too but…
I have to say, I LOVED LOVED LOVED my experience here! I went with the Lavender (Relaxing) Pedicure and it was fantastic! There were all sorts of scrubs and lotions massaged on my feet and lower legs.
They have so many colors to choose from, it’s almost hard to pick! I went with a nice new fall color by OPI called «Never Give Up», which I thought was appropriate with the up-​coming labor and delivery.
The 2 ladies that worked on my friend and I were VERY NICE! They seemed truly interested on how I was feeling with the whole pregnancy and all asking numerous questions.
The massage chairs were nice– once I figured out how to work them. Haha. Some of the massage settings, were quite strong and almost uncomfortable… especially the ones under the behind! Ha!!!
Cost-​wise, I am not entirely sure what pedicures typically run. My friend got a regular pedicure (which isn’t listed on the menu) and paid $ 25. My «deluxe» one was $ 40… Which, considering how long she spent on me, I thought was worth it! I didn’t glance at the clock but I was still having my feet and legs worked on while my friend sat reading magazine for a good 20 minutes or more!
Our receipts had a $ 5 off coupon printed on it so, twist my arm, I gueeeeessssss I’ll haaaaave to go back. Haha.
Highly recommend!

Not my favorite. I would recommend other places in the triad area over this nail salon.

I had a pedicure at nail tech. The lady doing my pedicure cut me with the cuticle trimmers and two days later I had a raging infection which turned out to be MRSA. Not as sanitary as you may think!!! I DO NOT recommend!

Wonderful place to be pampered. They take their time and service you with plenty of care. Complimentary drinks as well. Definitely a PLUS. The end results are amazing and the conversations are great. You feel welcome as soon as you walk in until the time you leave. No wait time either.

The BEST pedicure I’ve ever had! They really take their time and do things right. There are many pedicures to choose from. I got the peppermint pedi. It was relaxing and refreshing. I finished with a gel polish.
I would highly recommend an appointment. They are always busy, but take the time to do things right.
They offer free water, soda or wine with any service.
The pedicure chairs are very comfortable. They really go out of their way to make the experience special.

I decided to try this place out after reading the reviews. They were spot on, great customer service and friendly techs. The tools that are used are all sterile. Great choice of colors. My mom and I have been looking for another place to go and I think that we have found it. Can’t wait to go back for the pedicures!

I recommend this place to anyone in winston. They do a great job. I always get gel and I LOVE that they do not have to file my nails down. Johnny and all the girls who work there are super sweet. If you’re not happy about something, just tell them and they will fix it. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. It’s location is prime also — when you leave you can either get wine, frozen yogurt, or cupcakes — All winners.

Fabulous! The Salon is clean, relaxing, and comfortable! The staff is friendly and professional! The prices are fair — especially for the quality.
I had a Milk & Honey manicure and pedicure and I have never felt so relaxed! Offering beverages to their customers is definitely an extra step. They are very focused on customer satisfaction. I will make this my regular nail salon!

I think I felt subtle racism in there.. They will made me wait and checked everybody else in before me. I was extremely disappointed at the way I was treated.

The facility and atmosphere are very pleasant and clean. The manicure or pedicure itself is very neat, meticulously done, no complaints. However, every time I have been harassed to get a more expensive manicure or pedicure. I would simply say, «no, thank you, just a regular» and they would persist in asking me why I didn’t want an upgrade, and then continue to ask me why my toenails were so short/​the condition of my feet or fingers, etc. Bottom line, no complaints about the end result, but I would appreciate no harassment or offenses taken if all I desire is a regular, non-​shellac manicure.

Nails Tech has been my go-​to nail place for over 8 months now. I tell everyone I know about it, and I really can’t say enough good things about it. My manicures last at least 2 weeks, but oftentimes I will stretch it to 3, and have even gone longer when I’m out of town. Pedicures are super durable, too — I’m talking like 6 weeks of long lasting toe polish ladies!
I will never go to any place else. Thank you, Johnny, for running such a professional, respectable, clean and wonderful salon! You keep the fingers and toes of Winston Salem looking sexy!

I did go back to Nails Tech, this time for a manicure and pedicure. I had a much better experience the second time around. My nails looked great, the polish was even unlike my first visit. I also enjoyed my pedicure, they have great massage chairs. Although I didn’t realize it until my friend pointed it out you can just get a standard pedicure here, you do not have to go with the fancy ones. I had the standard pedicure and it was great and I did not feel like they rushed it or anything like that since it wasn’t one of their spa versions!
I will be back!

My daughter and I frequently get pedicures at Nails Tech. After several visits of getting the more expensive «menu» pedicures, I overheard another customer say she just wanted a «regular» pedicure. I did not know that was an option, but now I know and that is all I get. The pedicures are as good or better than anywhere else in town. My only complaint is how pushy they are trying to get you to buy other services. On my most recent visit, I was asked several times if I wanted a manicure also. I only wanted a «regular» pedicure, but they were very persistent which did make my experience somewhat less enjoyable.

Terrible service! Ended up walking out after a forty-​five minute wait. The man in charge was letting other «walk-in’s» (that came in after us) be seen before we were taken. Which is ridiculous because we had to sign in. Furthermore we were never apologized to or even spoken to for that matter. They must have thought we had an infectious disease. Anyway ended up going to Angel Touch Salon and they were 100% nicer and friendlier! These people here are judgmental and rude!!!

I have been going to Nails Tech for three years now. Johnny, the owner is very friendly and always remembers me and what I like to have done. The staff is friendly and courteous.
The chairs are super comfy for pedis and there are several chair massage options. The place always seems immaculate– they sterilize their metal tools in one of those UV microwave thingys. (Definitely the correct scientific term here)
You can choose between several types of pedicures off of the «menu» lavender, exfoliating, etc. Some of them come with a hot stone massage. They also offer regular and shellac manicures. They do an awesome job in the shellacs! This is the only place in town I go. It’s four stars because sometimes you have to wait quite a bit, but that’s just me being impatient.

This isn’t the fanciest salon I’ve ever been to. I received one of the most meticulous pedicures and Shellac manicures ever from Emily. She was gentle with my cuticles. I’ll definitely be back. The salon is guy friendly. There were two men having pedicures while I was there.
