Had to wait 20 mins despite being on time for an appointment. Manicurist was kind and took her time but the shape of the nails was obviously horrible and not what I asked for. I tried to get her to fix the crooked nails and she didn't seem to see an issue.

It bothers me to have to write this review. I have been going here for years and never have I experienced, what I did today. I called early this morning to make an appointment with Ben, one of the nail techs. Lisa answered the phone said they no longer accept appointments, only walk ins and to just come in. I walked in around 2:30 and The owner (Lisa) said that Ben was finishing up a client and would be with me shortly. She had another nail tech start to remove the dip polish that Ben put on my nails 2 weeks prior. Around 3:30, a woman walked in and said she has an appointment with Ben. The owner stated that she must have made a mistake and that I'd have to get another tech to do my nails or wait for Ben to do my nails, after the woman who had just walked in. I told her that I spoke to her early this morning and was told that they no longer accept appointments. Why should I have to wait or go to someone else to get my nails done?! She sat and joked with the other woman and acted as if nothing had happened. I paid and tipped the nail tech who removed my polish and walked out. I've been a loyal customer for years, but after today, never again.

I loved everything about this nail salon except the unbelievably strong chemical smell that permeates the place. If they could do something about that I'd definitely go back as my pedicure lasted many weeks. My fingernails did not, but I abuse my hands so I'm not holding that against them. Very nice and professional people and it's really hopping! Very busy spot!

Got my nails done here last summer and forgot to write a review. I LOVED my experience and my nails were soooo beautiful! I came in with a picture of how I wanted my nails to look like and they spent over 2 hours perfecting it! My best nails I've ever had and I've recommended this place to all my friends who ask where to get their nails done. It's a bit of a hike for me to drive to but it's so worth it! Definitely coming back soon since I miss my acrylics.

had a great time here. Sure you have to wait a little but that's any place. The nail tech i saw was hilarious and did a great job. For the prices too, i'll be coming here from now on!

I'm new to the area and this salon is a hidden gem. No it's not the fanciest looking salon but they provide a great service and are very friendly. I didn't have an appointment and they were very accommodating. I had a pedicure and a dip powder manicure. Also good prices!

When you live in a neighborhood with dozens of nail salons to choose from, having a negative experience means you just move on to the next one and try for something better. Unfortunately this review comes from a place where I can say this is a one and done experience, which is a shame because I had chosen this salon based on the reviews and wanting to support a salon with less of the glitz and glam of those with complimentary champagne and rose petal pedicures. I don't need all of that flare anyway, but for just wanting basic services my experience here was subpar at best. I called around 11am to see if they had any availability through the day for a gel mani and gel pedi. They said they were busy, but asked if I could come at 1pm instead....sure, not a problem. I got there at 12:55 not expecting to be seen immediately, but 1pm became 1:20 became 1:45 until finally I was waved over at 2pm for my pedicure. For that hour I straddled the mindset of "ok this is rude, why tell me to come at 1 when you're still so busy?" and "if I leave I'll have to wait somewhere else anyway so I might as well stay". By the time I'm seated, I'm not even the least bit relaxed. I realize 3/4 of the way through my pedi that they forgot that my service was supposed to be gel so a regular pedi it was. Afterward I asked if they still had time to knock out a regular mani, they obliged. My mani was set using a tabletop fan and some quick set top coat. When I asked if it was dry, my tech said yes. I went to get my credit card out to pay and messed up 2 of my nails. She seemed frustrated when I asked her to fix them, even more so when she realized she needed to start over on both. The next day, 2 nails had already started to chip and one is peeling straight off my nail. I used my own seche vive gel top coat to try and stop it from chipping further. It's been awhile since I've had a traditional mani, but I'm not exactly tough on my nails. The fact that they are chipping the day after is disappointing. I have no doubt others have had repeated positive experiences here, and maybe my not being a regular is why my experience wasn't a priority, but with so many other options in the neighborhood I'll be visiting them before deciding if I'll give Lisa's another shot.

Had a great experience today with the whole crew! I got a full set and pedicure, and asked for a special design on my manicure. They made it happen- I will be back!

I have driven by Lisa's countless times before because i live only a few blocks away, but finally decided to try it for the first time yesterday. And I'm so pleased! Their storefront is not one of the attractive ones out there, but this salon is just the proof that you shouldn't judge the book by its cover. The quality of work for the price is amazing. I got a simple gel manicure, which cost $20+tip, and the technician actually cared and did a great job. I will definitely go back. If you like the full "spa experience" with champagne and fancy lights, this salon is not for you, but if you want quality work and very reasonable prices, Lisa's is a great place.

I gave up on keeping my acrylics a while back, having had so many mediocre-to-bad experiences in the Roxborough/Manayunk area. I missed having nails so much, but since moving to the area from Bucks County I couldn't find one salon out of all we have around here that I could count on to do a good job regularly. I'm an easy client though I am particular about my nail shape which is a leaning to almond oval. I don't care about champagne, ambience, sometimes waiting a bit. Anyhow, I decided to try this super non-descript little place in early fall bc it's one of the two in the area I had never tried (the other being on the same block a few doors down, which I have also now accidentally tried with a muuuuuch different result!). No ambience, the prices are almost scary low, but I caught a good review from someone who sounded like me - just looking for good nails and good customer service, so I went on in. And I'm so glad I did. Ann is great, had no problem with the shape I wanted - and she knows exactly how to do a strong, beautiful, acrylic set, getting the sidewalls perfect, everything. She's generally pleasant and polite as are all the younger girls there. I am a regular and have nails that make me smile as well as always being complimented. I would give twice as many stars if it was possible. Sometimes the little things in life like finding a reliable nail lady make everything better, and for me Lisa Nails has put a great glow on things.

I just moved to the area & was looking for a place to get my nails done. I was hesitant because I'm really picky about who does my nails. I can honestly say that this is probably one of the best manicures I've ever gotten! They take their time & truly care about the service that they provide. I will definitely be making this my nail spot! Thank you, Tu!

I called for a last minute dip manicure during lunch and she was able to fit me in. Very basic atmosphere but an excellent manicure, great attention to detail.
