About Nail World

Nail World is a nail salon on Shipyard Blvd in Wilmington, open on a walk-in basis with no appointment needed. Gel manicures and pedicures sit alongside SNS and acrylic sets, and the techs will work up freehand flower or ombré designs from a customer's own photo or request. The basic pedicure includes a foot treatment as part of the service. Lash services round out the offerings alongside nails. The salon opens daily except Tuesdays, giving walk-ins a wide window through the week to get in. One practical note for planning a visit: paying by card carries an extra charge, so cash covers the cost without the added fee.

Customer Review Summary

Freehand nail art draws the most praise, with reviewers describing custom designs like an ombré set done without powder acrylic and birthday nails with flower details, several crediting one technician by role as "great at free hand designs." Pedicures come up repeatedly too, described as leaving feet "soft" and "shiny," with more than one reviewer calling it the best pedicure they'd had in a while. Reviewers also cite reasonable prices, cleanliness, and staff who took time to correct errors until a design matched what was wanted. Against this, two accounts stand out negatively: one reviewer describes an SNS set with a shape they didn't ask for and a technician whose attitude turned sour after repeated attempts to explain; another describes being charged an extra five dollars over a disputed toe filing and an additional card surcharge. Several reviewers say they return specifically for fills and repeat pedicures.

    “My friend and I came in for a polish change. After he finished my toes, one looked off. I asked Dollar to fix it and he LIED and said there is acrylic left on my toes. He charged me $5 extra To file down my toe nail that he was already supposed to file to finish my service! AND they charged me $2 extra to use a card. Which is ILLEGAL! I will be reporting this establishment. I will never come back ! Yall lost a customer !”

    “I have been coming here to get gel manicures and pedicures. Usually I just get basic glittery nails which are fantastic and simply. Today, I told Amy I was going out for a fancy dinner and wanted her to give me fancy nails. I picked the colors (with Amy's help) and wanted the flowers. She cane up with the test. I will be doing "fancy" nails from here on out as I love her artistry! I only recently started getting nails done to keep from biting, breakage and hangnails. My nails have never been better! Worth every penny!”

    “I love to get designs on my nails but couldn’t find anything today. So I just started going through designs on Pintrest. The nail tech saw that I was considering a design but I didn’t say anything because it was an ombré design and that usually takes colored powder acrylic and I wasn’t about to soak my new set of overlay acrylic off. He said he could do an ombré without the powder. So I said let’s see….OMG!!!! I love the look!!”

    “First and last time at Nail World. Worst SNS job I've ever had. Shape is awful and not what I asked for. After third time of trying to explain what I wanted, nicely, I just gave up with the technician's sour attitude. These pictures are …”
