Sophia's Nail Salon — Local services in Atlanta

I never leave reviews, but I just felt the need to forewarn any and everyone I can so they don't have the same experience as I did. Like it was that horrific. I came to this salon on 6/6/2017 with two of my friends because it was the only one in the city open until 10pm. The nail tech did not know how to properly glue down the nail extension so there was a huge air bubble in 6-7 of my nails. I even tried to help her thru the process by saying "they're not glued on all the way so if you need to snatch it off and try again go ahead". She responded by saying "I'm gonna put acrylic on it so it'll be okay you'll see". It kinda pissed me off because I had already told her that I work around a lot of water so I need my nails to be secure. She still couldn't take the hint. She didn't use a clean paper towel to clean the acrylic brush which resulted in a brown piece of bathroom towel stuck in between the gap in my nails and the false nail. ---this young lady put acrylic on top of that brown bathroom towel spec and fixed it onto my nail lmao! D-I-R-T-Y. One of my friends was instructed by another nail tech to take her nails off by herself, and after she decided to not get hair nails done (because she saw how bad ours were) the nail tech tried to charge her $10 for taking her own nails off! Lmao! Not to mention, we walked out two hours later without so much as a top coat of polish because we stopped them from finishing because we were so upset with the foundation and building of our nails. To simply put it, they were raggedy as hell and could've been better secured down by myself at home. We still paid (because we're not ratchet enough to flip tables and whatnot), but we went next door to the tattoo shop (apparently the nail salon is managed by the tattoo guy in the tattoo shop next door to the salon?) …we told him our issues, he even went so far as to take pictures to send to his boss and took down our contact info. They told us to come back the next day so they could "figure it out" we haven't heard from them since. If you see this nail salon RUN! FAST! We paid both nail techs $25 and we have to turn around and get them soaked off today. Could've saved my money and bought a pizza instead. (I can't put pictures on here...

Simply, the best, nail salon, in NWAtlanta, Kevin is the greatest, most caring person , and creative, nail I’m going to say, in theATL,resonble, rates for his expertise in the metropolitan,area💅you gotta check it out ‼️💯

For me, his service was so significant, because I am a recovering Stroke victim that had a stroke 16 years ago yet my left side is still paralyzed, which means my hand on the left side doesn’t sit out like the right hand, but Kevin showed due diligence and kindness and care. He literally got up and stood up, stood up and polish my nails Extra I have gone to nail salons with a nail took nail tech took one look at my left side and said look or look at my hand and said no I can’t help you. It was embarrassing. Kevin was he would never do that. He was just wonderful. he literally , Polished some of my nails sent while standing up, then when it’s time to put it under the lamp, she took extra precaution with that as well, wasn’t an inconvenience, and just another number, so far a reasonable rate, got my nails done for Thanksgiving, I’ll get them done again for my birthday in two weeks, then I’m a pedicure too. I will also get them done again for Christmas. This is my nail salon now I don’t think I’ll ever go to another one. If I move to Stone Mountain I’m gonna be driving over here to get my nails done he’s worth just that much‼️💯🙏🏾 my nails, are perfect , very, clean/classic,...

So after reading the reviews and out of curiosity for the shop itself. I cheated on my Nail Tech once more. I don't know what kind of day it was for him but I felt most uncomfortable. The shop is Fabulous. Love the decor secondly I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK. Kevin sat there with the utmost look of something stank face ever. Of course I didn't expect him to smile the whole time but small talk would have been okay. What I ask for was short coffin nail.... He said they would be small...okay...I agreed but I didn't think they would look like little shark bites...I have small hands but I wouldn't even.....so I ask before acrylic powder could I change it he said He couldn't....I was ready to pay for the shark tooth's and leave.....Wait after he glued the tips in place he cut and filed the coffin shape. He filed my natural so low it gave my nail top a burning sensation when he did the the acrylic. So in all he filed my nails to prep for the tips and so forth, he filed after the tips I think he tried to shape my natural nail into a coffin too because my left hand thumb nail hurts to the touch. His Instagram is well organized and I loved his photos I witness some of the photos I am and still so disappointed I just got clear. I won't be able to get these nails off because my natural feels Raw....Maybe it was...
