Chic Nails 692 Baltimore Pike, Bel Air, MD 21014

"I had a horrible experience and do not recommend! I requested a regular pedicure although he insisted I get a spa pedicure. I wanted to spend more money getting acrylics instead. After this he was very rude, and rough. And when doing my acrylics he was still extremely rough, and cut my cuticle multiple times. My nails did not look ANYTHING like the picture I showed him, and when I asked for him to correct them, he insisted that, that’s how they were supposed to look. I’d recommend saving your money, and going to a different salon. Overall the customer service I received was horrible, and there are much better salons in the area."

"I went for a manicure on Thursday. Regular manicure. They wanted to give me a gel one and I said no thanks, because I had a gift certificate for a regular one. So did my daughter. Not even 48 hours later, both of us had chipped nails. I stopped back in and asked for one of my nails to be fixed, and the same lady who did my nails just painted over the chip (so it’s still noticeable), and then proceeds to tell me how regular manicures don’t last long. Compared to gel, no they don’t last as long; however, they should last more than 48 hours! Very disappointed and won’t be returning there."

"I only got my eyebrows waxed here which they did an excellent job of. My daughter got acrylic nails that turned out beautifully. Be aware there are different prices per length (if you want long nails it's a ten dollar charge.) Neither of us had to wait to be taken care of. (It was a weekend morning.) My only issue & the reason I didn't give 5 stars: they are too rough on your skin while they are cleaning up your own nails. My daughter had small chunk of skin missing. She said that when they cleaned her own nails that it was painful. Otherwise everyone is nice & helpful."

"Not a good experience. Went for a manicure and pedicure. I have been there before and never had a problem. My toe cuticle was cut and powder had to be applied twice to get the bleeding to stop. The tech made me feel that it was my fault. Hopefully I will not get an infection. I felt that the manicure was rushed because one of the tech's regular came in. I had to remove clear coat from my skin when I got home. I understand that there is a new owner. How about getting a dedicated phone line to take payments."

"I have been going here for years. I know people have complained about feeling rushed, but Chic Nails is located in a relatively busy spot and when business gets hectic it's hard to please every single person so I have always had sympathy for their workload. I have only had one negative experience at this Nail Salon and when I came in a day or so later they fixed it, free of charge, and made them absolutely perfect again. I have always requested odd shapes and color combinations and they have never failed to meet my expectations. The picture below is one such example. Those are my real nails, there wasn't room for any error, and Jessica did an AMAZING job. She shaped each carefully, double checked each nail every few seconds to make sure they lined up nicely, and in the end, her work was flawless. I am heading back in a few hours to get my nails done in the same style and I am positive they will look great again."
