They did an amazing job on my little sisters nails. She's been begging to get acrylics so we finally gave in and they did a beautiful job. The design is too cute and length and shape is perfect. Their pricing is pretty standard if not cheaper than most places nowadays and everyone working was lovely. Definitely gonna go back to get my nails done at some point.Service: Acrylic nails

Devy is THE reason to come here - she is an expert who is meticulous, skilled, and kind. Her gel manicures easily lasted me 3+ weeks and she is amazing with knowing how to recreate nail trends/designs. Some of my favorite manicures were this leopard french design that she did by hand and this milky mani!One note is that she will not let any client leave without looking perfect. This can mean that sometimes your appointment runs a little over or that's the case for the person before you, so be mindful of this but know that it is always worth the time. Devy is the best!!

Everything went smoothly at my very first appointment! The place is nice and clean, and my nail tech sure did take her time to work on my nails. I told her exactly what I wanted and she delivered!! ❤️ a lot of other nail salons uses nail drills to prepare the nails, but it has ruined my nails after doing acrylics and dip powder for years. I’m very surprised that my nail tech did everything with minimum nail drilling (only to trim my cuticles and THAT IS IT) so the prep process is much more gentle on your nails and non-damaging!! No pain from over-drilling, minimum to NO pain from the curing process (gel polish), I can’t tell my nail tech enough how happy/excited I am! Book my next pedicure appointment right before I left ???Services: Nail extensions

I am here just visiting for a month and was in desperate need for an acrylic nail fill with gel polish. I had several services done, including a pedicure and eyebrow waxing. Mary was excellent and did great work. I am so pleased that I promised them a review, considering I didn't really see a thorough review online. I did notice that they had either 4.5 or 5 stars on Yelp, so I took a chance. So glad I did! They were kind, fun and funny. My friend, a guy, had a mani and pedi. He loved it too! It involved the paraffin wax and stones. Very cool and nicely done ladies at Boom Boom.

My first visit to a nail salon in Charlottesville and I was very disappointed. Based on the reviews I had high expectations but from the start it was awful. First I had to wait maybe 30min or more because she was taking care of other customers, no problem I was not in a rush. Then all the polishes were very old... Again, to be expected most salons have very old polish. But then... As she started to do my feet I noticed the tools did not come out of a new sanitized bag and looked unhygienic. At this point I just took the risk since I was already seated and waited and had not other nail place lined up. She rushed the job and took phone calls and updated her work schedules all while doing my feet and not taking any care for her customer. It was the worst experience. Then in the middle of her rush, and no there were no customers waiting for her. She was actually also making phone calls to people while stopping to do my nails. She then asked another nail tech to do my nails. This nail tech did take the tools from a new bag but she rushed as well, doing my nails standing while I'm in the pedicure chair. They also never buffed my nails which was odd. Only using the file which has multiple levels of coarseness. I guess if you file down the top layer of your natural nail enough the paint sticks better. The overall look is not awful but I personally pay for the experience and time otherwise I can just do it myself for free. I even mentioned I just moved to Charlottesville and they were my first nail salon, you would think some effort would have been made to keep a returning customer. I'm sorry but I won't be back or recommend them. Ohhhh and lastly they offer validation for your parking and I still had to pay money because they didn't cover the over 2 hours I was there for a mani/pedi.

I have never written a review before but wanted to share my experience. I made an appt here for a mani/pedi. When I came in they seemed a bit stressed/overwhelmed (there were only 2 workers, but 3 customers) and I felt rushed. Then proceeded to wait about 20 minutes to get started. I asked for french tips but my nails are short and the tech said she did not have time to add tips onto my nails. I had an appointment made in advance and did not think my request was difficult, so this was disappointing. I then waited another 10 minutes before they acknowledged me again to start my pedi. In the 30 minutes I waited I called a different local salon and scheduled a new appt. Just frustrating because I had to pay for parking for no reason and woke up from sleeping (I work night shifts) to waste my time here. I will not go back but wish them the best. Maybe my experience was just bad timing.

Gel mani-pedi was excellent! These babies lasted through whitewater rafting, hiking, setting up a campsite, AND still looked perfect for a surprise proposal!! The owner of the salon was a complete ray of sunshine and took her time on all the details. The salon is very clean and I could see the other nail tech sanitizing her tools thoroughly after clients, and everything else was extremely well maintained! I’m definitely planning to go back for their waxing services asap!!

While not visually attractive, the service was still good. It was pretty empty and convenient when a couple other places were booked and couldn't take us at all. Reasonably priced and overall a good experience.

They did a good job on my nails and on my pedicure! It’s been 3 weeks and no broken nails! I gave 4/5 stars only because their nail color selection for dip is limited and they don’t have regular colors that match their dip colors.Services: Dip powder
