About City Nails

On Blowing Rock Blvd in Lenoir, City Nails is a husband and wife owned nail salon taking walk-ins rather than appointments. The service list covers acrylics, pedicures, and cuticle and dead skin cleanup, and customers can bring in a photo of a design or color for the nail tech to recreate. A wait to be seen is common, though some visits get seated within a minute. The salon opens Monday to Saturday and stays closed on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary

Acrylics and pedicures draw most of the praise, with several reviewers describing stunning sets and a daughter's requested design delivered exactly as pictured. Close behind, individual nail techs are singled out for taking their time on cuticle cleanup and nail art, and the shop is repeatedly called friendly and accommodating, with one visitor noting staff stayed late to finish a group's nails. A first visit brought a longer than expected wait, though most say the results made up for it. One detailed complaint stands apart: a customer says the white tips she received were see through and not the pink shade she requested, that her concerns were dismissed before payment, and that she was still charged full price. Another reviewer, preparing for surgery, says she had to explain that no polish could remain on her nails per hospital instructions. Most others describe leaving satisfied and returning for every visit.

    “If I could rate this place 0 stars, I would. I’m usually not one to complain or even leave reviews but this place and the man that works there is a joke. I’m going to provide the picture I asked for, and pictures of the nails I received. Pictures may not even do justice on how bad my nails are but they are NOT the length I asked for, nor or they the color PINK I expressed to him that I wanted. You can literally see my natural nails underneath the tips on my hands. I have got white tips for years and I have no been so unsatisfied with how they turned out nor have they been see through! Before he was even done with my nails , I asked him how much they were going to be already dreading paying for them because I wasn’t satisfied and he said $80! $80 for basic, see through white tips? I explained to him the pink on my nails wasn’t dark enough and he claimed that it was, that the picture I showed him just doesn’t look like my nails because of the difference in skin color. Not to mention I stressed my concern BEFORE he charged me and still proceeded to charge me the full $80. It’s the day before the 4th of July and due to him being greedy, I can’t even get these fixed until after the holiday. This place is insane and they take advantage of people. Money doesn’t grow on trees for some people, and had I known I was gonna walk away with nails like I got and the service I received, I would have gotten press ons. DO NOT waste your time waiting 3 hours at city nails to go through what I went through. Save your money, your time, and the disappointment.”

    “First visit. The staff is friendly. Overall the place looks clean. I requested a pedicure service and my acrylic nails taken off. I explained I am having surgery tomorrow and can NOT have any polish left on my nails per the hospital’s …”
