Customer Review Summary
Gel and French manicures draw repeated praise, with reviewers describing no lifting or breakage and nails shaped and colored exactly as requested. Close behind, several mention the pedicure experience, including the massage chair, though one reviewer notes the lack of a foot fan afterward as a drawback. Acrylic and long nail sets also come up often, with one first-timer highlighting a daughter's first set going smoothly and another praising a same-day acrylic appointment. Reviewers consistently describe the space as clean and the staff as friendly, patient with indecisive clients, and skilled across different styles and techniques.

“I love going to Golden Hands to get my nails done, I have been three times and I love them every time. It’s my go-to place now when I need them done. They are very professional and nice and they always make my nails look exactly how I want them to. And their prices are great! Definitely my favorite nail place and would recommend.”

“It was my 1st time getting my nails done and I had a wonderful experience. Located in a very nice, clean part of Hickory. Love the strip it's on, the decorations and the Christmas music playing aloud. Several handicap parking available and it is wheelchair accessible. Restrooms available to clients only. Shop is clean and workers are very helpful and patient. If you're indecisive, the workers will help you find your color. They are honest people and take their time to do their job properly. Hair cut and nails were done in reasonable timing. (Side note: Acrylic nails done only on 12 and older). Owner and manager were very sweet, professional, and respectful. Very satisfied with the outcome of my nails. If I had to get my nails done, I would chose them again and again. Would recommend and visit again.”
