221 Nails & Spa

"This place always does a good job on my wife's manicure and they do great on our pedicures. They're usually pretty accommodating and will let you know if they're too busy for a walk in and when to come by. They had drinks and massage chairs and are very clean and professional."

"I got my nails done Monday , I don’t do any rough work and haven’t even bumped them or got them caught on anything once since I had them. I paid $45 and spent over an hour there just for them to cut my cuticle to where it’s bleeding and for 2 nails to literally pop off in one piece. They lifted within 3 days and it seems they didn’t take their time paint was very sloppy I will never be coming here again. I do not recommend. I called and asked if they could fix them and redo them since THEY did them wrong and guy proceeded to yell at me saying there not messed up and you have to pay another $45 this is the worst experience I’ve ever had and I will be going to Amy’s nails for now on."

"Linda always does a great job on my acrylic nails. She listens to what I want and her attention to detail is great! She is so friendly as well and wants you to be satisfied with her work. Here are my Valentine's nails."

"I have gone to 221several times and every time I go I leave satisfied! Jenny fixed me up today with beautiful Christmas nails. Definitely recommend!"

"I never post reviews, but my experience at 221 was so bad yesterday that I felt it was necessary. A male started to do my tips for dip powder. He did not measure each tip to my nail he just grabbed the tips and glued them down. After he cut the tips down, I told him that my nails were crooked. (Meaning the tips were not even placed straight onto my nails so even shaped down they are not even on both sides) He gave me a hard time and kept telling me that he will shape them later and asked "Have you even ever gotten your nails done?" The funny thing is, my mother owned several nail salons for 18+ years in the Raleigh area. So I decided to just allow him to continue with his process. He nipped me 5 times and proceeded while there was blood visible on my nail. I watched as he dipped my nails into the "community" color dip with my blood visibly still in the powder. Once done, my nails were still crooked. Another nail tech asked me what was wrong when he walked away, and I pointed out bubbles in my nails from the powder, and how uneven my nails were. My original tech came running once he noticed I was speaking with the other nail tech. He came to "fix" my nails but just shaved off the polish and repainted it without fixing the problems. The picture attached was my nails 20 minutes AFTER my appointment and I was still bleeding! He apologized for cutting me, but he kept blaming it on my cuticles. (which wasn't the issue)."
