I visited Lafayette Nails on a very rainy day as I had some open availability in my schedule. The nail shop is newly renovated and very cozy. The staff members were super friendly and I was immediately accommodated as a walk-in. Allison was very gentle at cutting my cuticles and did an awesome job.Unika B. & Co.

This was probably one of the worst nail salon experiences ever. After reading the reviews and seeing the pictures I knew I found my new salon home. However, after my appointment on 8/25/23, I was proven wrong. I called to schedule an appointment because I was leaving in the morning for a work trip. I asked Emily who answered the phone for a specific person. I was informed that the person was no longer working there. After finding that out I specifically asked for an appointment with someone who was good with sculpting nails because I like my nails long. Emily asked me to send a picture of the shapes I was interested in. I did and she replied she was able to do them, and my appointment was confirmed. Upon arrival everything seemed to be ok, Bri who did my pedicure was lovely. Due to my previous experiences at other nail salons, I assumed the person who did my pedicure was going to also do my full set especially since her nails were nails were flawless. However, I was wrong again, I was passed off to some gentleman who seemed to have been on a break. I should've known when he was putting the tips on my nails that this was going to be a p*** show. He had to go back a couple of times to add the tips back to my nails because as he was trying to shape them the tips were popping off. After placing the tips on my fingers, he started to get a bit frustrated. I don't know if he was having difficulty with carrying out the shape of my nails or the length, either way, they're all different on each of my fingers. I mentioned to him while doing my nails the length and his response was "What they aren't the same length?" Sir, you answered before I could tell you what was wrong. Yes, the length and shape are both off! I honestly should've complained while I was there, but I was on a tight time schedule, and I was to blame for that. However terrible work is terrible work. After my services, I still left a tip and honestly, it wasn't for him it was for Bri because my pedicure was relaxing, and she had a good conversation. Even though my nail polish started chipping on Sunday it is what it is. I'm not a confrontational person and it was past closing time so instead of complaining I simply sent a text to Emily with the pictures of my nails explaining how dissatisfied I was with my nails. She knew they were they were terrible as well she offered to reshape and repair them on 8/26/2023. When she extended the olive branch I responded and asked her if I could have my nails redone by her on 8/31/2023. She responded on 8/27/23 saying she had to check her books and would get back to me. Mind you that was on a Sunday, she responded to me on Wednesday 8/30/23 saying she was all booked up and if I was willing to go to Bri who had done my pedicure. Ma'am, I am ok, I asked for you in advance. If this is how your business is running and you lack accountability, I rather not be a patron. There are over 1000 nail salons in this city, I'll find someone else. Don't waste your time or money. The way people handle their customers speaks volumes on the way they run their business. I will never return.

I got a full set and a pedicure, I love both but Hin did so good on my nails! He did everything by hand and they are perfect!!Update: These are 2 weeks later. My 2 pointer fingernails are broken on the nail bed, so I just cut them all down ? my middle finger nail broke where the nail tip was.

Just had the worst experience. Went to get a gel pedicure and the girl cut me while removing my polish. She never apologized and when I asked her how long she was doing nails her answer was “since 19 years old”. First, that didn’t answer my question and second I didn’t know how old she was to do the math myself. I should have left the moment she cut me but I waited to see if her sister could take over. Once she came over she said rudely she couldn’t take me until later. So, needless to say, I left and took my business elsewhere. I will never go back there again.

I liked my nail person and they took me with an appointment. I received a lovely pedicure, but I couldn't get comfortable in the chair, so I can't go back. Sadly.

Emily, Allison, Bianca and Natalie are Fabulous! They are so talented. When I get dip/gel done with these professionals it lasts a full week or two longer than other places. They take care of you like family and they’re so respectful. I love the selection of colors, these women are passionate about excellence in nail art. Honestly, it’s difficult to find such high quality consistently time after time. Yes, you might* have to wait. Your best bet is to call ahead and schedule an appointment because the word is out — this is one of the top places to get your nails done in Raleigh.Services: Nail polish changes
