Quick info
About N C Nails
N C Nails is a nail salon on W Vernon Ave in Kinston, taking walk-ins for services that include gel overlay and full sets, pedicures, eyebrow waxing, and lash extensions. Lash extensions are applied with the client seated upright in a chair rather than lying down. The salon opens Monday through Saturday and stays closed on Sundays. Stations are not fitted with vacuum tables, so filing produces dust at the counter. Pedicures are finished without a base or top coat, and nails are dried by the tech blowing on them rather than with a fan.

Customer Review Summary
Full sets and gel manicures anchor most visits, with several reviewers naming the service directly, from a full set paired with a pedicure fix and eyebrow waxing to a straightforward gel overlay. Praise centers on speed, one visitor was seated immediately and enjoyed steady conversation throughout, and another highlights fast, inviting service at affordable rates. But complaints recur just as often and carry real detail: one gel overlay was filed unevenly and applied into the nail bed, leaving it sore, another basic pedicure arrived with no base coat, no top coat, and toes dried by blowing rather than a proper finish, and a third describes a nail lifting away with part of the real nail three days after a paid full set. Others mention two different polish shades applied on the same set, a requested coffin shape ignored, and dust from filing not contained by proper ventilation. One reviewer notes a sign price ten dollars off the advertised rate. Among the positive accounts, one specifically describes a wheelchair being accommodated without hesitation during a visit.

“Just wanted basic pedicure. I thought how bad can it be? I wasn't prepared for this bad. First the place is straight up nasty. Should have left immediately. Upsell comes first. No base coat. No top coat AND the lady blew on my toes to dry them. 20 minutes start to finish. May last a week. Never again.”
