I wanted a pedicure that lasted so they recommended a gel pedicure. I decided to try it. This is not an experience with the fancy chairs with the attached foot baths. The ladies bring the bowl of hot water to you. They are kind and friendly. Unfortunately, the pedicure was not as detailed as I am used to and the gel lasted less than a week. My friends tell me that is not the norm. I will have to go elsewhere to get the real experience. Giving this place 3 stars because they were some of the nicest women I've met, and attitude counts for something.

I came here because I saw good reviews but left very disappointed. The gel and nail polish were applied so far away from the bottom of the nail that it seemed as if my nails had grown out. The picture below is 3 days after. The lady also took a big chuck from my middle finger when removing the calluses that left me in pain for a couple days. She even blamed it on a hang nail lol Definitely not the best place to get your nails done.

I went to the salon after a recommendation from a cousin and seeing the results. So I had high hopes. I was disappointed from the beginning. Came in with pretty long natural nails with square edges. The lady that was doing my nails took of all the length and started rounding the nails, I also noticed that all the nails were uneven. I took the file and proceeded to fix my own nails and make them all uniform as much as I could at that point. The technician proceeded to buff the nail bed with the file she used to file the nails, I did not like that. The cuticles are mediocre, slightly jagged, and some not completely done, but at least no injuries. I decided to get the gel nails, the coverage is satisfactory, they put base coat, 3 layers of color and 2 layers of top coat. I think that's excessive. Many of the nails have uneven nail bed with all the layers, but I think it's primarily due to bad application. The nail color does not go to the edges, it looks like a week old nails and growth rather than a fresh manicure. At the end she chose to "even out" the nails after all the curing was done. This was unsuccessful and resulted in some jagged edges on all nails. Overall, extremely disappointed with the end product, nails are uneven, in length, the excessive layers distort the shape of the nail bed, the manicure looks fake with the thickness of the polish and being far from the edges.

Best nail salon in the city! The staff people are always accommodating, even for last minute appointments, pricing is reasonable, and the color selection is great. Recently, I messed up my pedicure a few hours after an appointment and they repainted free of charge. Thank you, Akua!

I called to get a gel pedicure, they weren't busy it was just me in the salon. The lady who did my toes did a good job painting it. 3 stars cause she barely massages my foot and hurt me a little while using the nippers; Cut too deep and too much. The chairs looked very old and dirty. They used a dirty rug mat for me to put my feet on and the sanitation didn't look that great. The bucket used to carry their supplies looked very old and dirty. But she painted my toes nicely. So if you don't care about how clean it is then this place might be for you !

My angels are very professional and beautiful. Consistent service for either mani-pedi or the ultimate torture waxing which is down calmly, and efficiently.They never disappoint.

I was looking for a nail salon on a whim since I wanted to treat myself for my birthday. I'm glad I stopped by here because I got my nails done in 40 minutes, which I must say is a lot faster than previous nail salons I've been to before. The salon is clean and quaint. I really recommend coming here to get your nails done! I got a gel manicure in this purple color and I love how it turned out! I want to note that I like that she adds sunscreen on my hands before she starts applying the base coat so that way my hands can be protected while getting baked lol. Appreciated it.

First manicure/pedicure since the pandemic. I lost my former salon when I retired, so I wanted a new place near home - and now Akua is it! Calm atmosphere, super clean, stainless soaking bowls instead of those grody foot sinks. My practitioner paid great attention to detail, and was a very nice and kind person. I recommend them highly!

I haven't had my nails or toes done since pre-pandemic so I was definitely in need of some help! I pick my cuticles which can be an unsightly and embarrassing habit, and gel manicures really help curb that. Akua Nail Salon is in my neighborhood and I feel good supporting a local and woman owned business. The 2 ladies who took care of me were very kind and thorough, and didn't make me feel bad about the state of my hands and feet. I'm so happy I decided to stop in today and will definitely be back!! My nails are ready for spring, Thank you!
