Customer Review Summary
Pedicures draw the most consistent praise, with reviewers describing relaxing leg treatments, a calf and foot massage, and one longtime customer noting a curled toenail issue handled well over repeated visits. Manicures also earn steady mentions, including acrylics and nails done for a vacation, with reviewers praising the time and precision involved. Several return specifically for one nail technician and one pedicurist by name of role, describing patience and thorough, unrushed work. Against this, two reviewers describe serious scheduling breakdowns: one had a scheduled visit pushed back repeatedly before being told to wait 30 to 40 more minutes on arrival, and another describes showing up early for a booked refill only to be left waiting a long stretch past the scheduled time before staff asked to extend it further. Both described the experience as disorganized and said they would not return. Most other reviewers describe a clean, relaxing space and say they became repeat customers.

“This place is really good, i love the product they put on your legs while getting a pedicure, smells amazing and feels like someone scratching your leg. Almost put me to sleep, aswell as the chairs, my back has never felt better. The colors are also very wide soread and vast. 10/10 recommend”

“Great job and great service. Accommodating to a long standing curled toe nail issue. Very clean and relaxing. Have used them several time in different seasons and consistently delivered quality service. Recommended if you are at Emerald Isle and want a good place for pedicure. My wife likes their manicure but I've not tried that yet.”

“I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was extremely frustrating. I arrived on a Monday at 9:45 a.m., even though the salon’s posted opening time was 9:30 a.m. The doors were still locked, and after another customer and I knocked, the owner let us in. He asked if I could come back the next day at 9:00 a.m., and I agreed. Later that day, I received a phone call asking if I could instead come at 10:30 a.m. to accommodate their schedule. Again, I agreed and arrived at 10:20 a.m. the next day. When I got there, there was already a large group of women getting pedicures and another customer waiting for a manicure. The owner told me I would be next, but when I asked how long it would be, he said another 30–40 minutes. After already rearranging my schedule twice to accommodate theirs, being asked to wait another 30–40 minutes for my appointment was unacceptable. The business seems very disorganized and doesn’t appear to respect customers’ time. I won’t be returning. If you’re deciding between salons, I’d recommend going to Swansboro instead.”
