Lacquer Lounge 38 North 3rd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106

"I’ve been a regular at Lacquer Lounge since 2013 and I would not go anywhere else. It is worth every penny. Ellen and Sarah go the extra mile to help with booking. The owner, Lisa, is so kind and always around — asking how I’m doing. I usually get my nails done downstairs with Kaila and the vibe is so peaceful and relaxing. Kaila is so meticulous and attention to detail. She is thorough and takes her time. The waterless pedis are perfect — love the hot towels. The salon is clean and focuses on nail health. The techs always prioritize what’s healthy for your nail journey."

"Kat is an absolute gem! She did my lash lift and brow shaping and I cannot say enough about how safe I felt having her touch my face. She is precise, clean, and explains every step of the process. I am rehabilitating my eyebrows after years of overplucking, and Kat showed me multiple ways to style and fill them in addition to mapping out a new shape with me. I have not needed to wear mascara for 2 months after her lash lift! They look so good on their own! Don't sleep on these services and do not trust anyone but Kat!"

"I’ve gotten my nails done as well as a few waxes at Lacquer Lounge for the past year and a half. I have never been anything less than happy about the services I got. Everyone there from the receptionists to all of the technicians are super sweet and work very hard to accommodate schedules, be transparent with pricing, and make the clients feel great! I’ve received a polygel set in the past which lasted significantly longer than I expected. My current regular technician is Sophy who is absolutely fantastic. She does gel and soft gel extensions as well as pedicures, all of which have been amazing. My soft gel extensions have lasted soooo long (probably longer than I should’ve left them on for haha). I’m not gentle with my hands, either! She is also such a pleasure to talk with and is extremely knowledgeable and whatever she does- the nails always last! Not only that but she is super efficient with time which, as a student, I’m super grateful for when I have things scheduled later in the day. Paige has also done my waxes in the past and has been such a great person to chat with. The vibes are always super calming and she also is just super knowledgeable about post-wax care. Overall, I’ve never met or been the client of anyone I haven’t liked. Some people mention that cost is a bit higher than other salons in the area, but I personally feel like you’re paying for nails that will last, hardworking and talented technicians, and an overall great environment, all of which are things worth putting money towards. I’ve attached a few photos of nails I’ve had in the past, including the nails from my engagement!"

"Today, was my first experience at the salon and I absolutely loved it. The salon itself was beautiful. There were a variety of items available for sale, which gave a boutique shop feel while also getting your nails done. The staff was very welcoming and professional. Myriam was the nail tech who took care of me and she was excellent. I look forward to returning in the future."
