About Nail Sculpture
Nail Sculpture is a nail salon on S Bridge St in Elkton, offering acrylic fills, full sets, gel manicures, and gel pedicures. Appointments are required, and some technicians focus on fills and full sets while a specific staff member handles nail designs and nail art. The salon opens Monday through Saturday and stays closed on Sundays. Scheduled appointment times can run well behind, with some customers waiting between 25 and 55 minutes before being seated, and the pedicure or nail process itself sometimes moves at a quick pace once it begins.

Customer Review Summary
Design work is the recurring draw here, with several reviewers singling out the salon's nail artists for detailed, on-point designs and one calling the young design specialist unmatched. Gel manicures come in for particular praise, with one reviewer noting a set lasted weeks before a small chip, far outlasting past experiences elsewhere, and another praising a full set of nails from a specific technician they now request by role. Long-time customers describe returning for close to two decades and being consistently pleased. Against that, wait times are a recurring frustration: reviewers report appointments starting well past their scheduled time, one waiting nearly an hour past a scheduled pedicure slot, and services stretching over two hours. Quality complaints surface too, including a nail that snapped off shortly after a fill and a coat applied too thin to hold. One reviewer also describes a dirty towel at their station and bugs during their visit. Another recounts having a fresh paint job redone after being unhappy with the color match, though still being charged for the correction.

“They take there time and do the job correctly. They use good products that last so a gel manicure that I got a month ago didn't even last 3 days, here I got 2 in half weeks before a little chip. My new nail shop.”

“Thank you for squeezing my daughter in tonight! Her birthday is tomorrow and this is her first mani pedi! She enjoyed it! And her nails look great!! We went to two other shops tonight who closed at the same time and they said they didn’t have time! I appreciate the hustle of working until you shop closes!”

“I got my nails done earlier today in the late morning from when this review will be posted. I called in advance, a gentleman answered the phone, and I kindly asked if the famous Lan was available to do my nails. The gentleman kindly advised me that she could do all the design work but that someone else would do my fill. I told him I was totally ok with that and I would be over to the salon in the next 10 minutes. When I walked in I was kindly greeted by the gentleman I believe I spoke with on the phone. He reiterated to me that Lan would do my designs and that he would do my fill. I am a UV gel girl through and through. They swear the acrylic technique is the same as a gel fill but there is no UV curing involved except for the gel paint after the fill. I kindly asked for my nails to be reshaped from square to almond but leave the length. That did not happen. I lost most of my length and I was in the chair for what seemed like an extended amount of time. When it came time for the painting and design Lan was unable to step away from a pedicure she was involved with so Lily jumped in to do my designs. I showed a photo of the nails that I aspired to have but with burgundy instead of a mauve nude color. I appreciate Lily's efforts and the last time I came into the salon Lily did my entire service but I only got one solid color. No complaints from the previous visit. She did a great job. It sounds like Lan is the VIP of the salon but you are lied to about her availability so they essentially bait, and switch you with the false promises of her services to get you into the salon. I would have just rather been told she was not available and tried for a different day. After this second visit today resulting in the photos below with a nail snapping off when I was not being hard with my hands, it will be my last visit. My service was $55.00. I paid cash, I tipped Lily $10.00 cash, and the gentleman who did my fill $10.00 cash. Everyone was very kind. I just simply do not feel that the quality is worth the price I paid.”
