Pretty Nails - ringgold - Ringgold (GA)

2 /5 Caitlin Nichols: I have used this nail salon over that last 15 years. Sad to say, it has gone down hill. This place may be cheaper than the others, but the quality is now sacrificed. This time I went in for a gel manicure - communication was an issue but the main concern for me was the LACK OF CLEANLINESS. Fingernails were all over the station, everything was covered in dust (so they dont wipe stuff down), and the water they gave me to soak in was murky at best. I was tempted to leave... Then, the "nail tech" was very rough with my cuticles, digging into my skin, and yanking it off. I said "ouch" multiple times but it continued. I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK.

5 /5 J B: I was on my way from Georgia back to my home in Tennessee and it started pouring down rain so I decided to stop and get a pedicure and my nails done. What a great decision that was! A family owned business with the family as employees and you can tell they take great pride in their business. A hidden gem! Irene did my nails and her husband did my pedicure. Irene’s mother assisted in the prep work for my nails. They were wonderful! After a week of caring for two toddler grandchildren, my nails were in terrible shape. Cuticles were raggedy, nails were broken, polish had chipped. Needed a pedicure badly for the same reasons. There was no wait and they immediately started to work on me. I have never had such great detailed work on my nails and a pedicure. They were not in a rush and made me feel my business was appreciated. The shop was clean and tools were clean. When I went to pay, the fee was $40 less than what I pay for the same services in my small Tennessee town. For future trips to Georgia, I will be stopping there to get my nails done and my pedicure. Wish they were closer!

1 /5 Alexandrea Casper: Usually I dont write negative reviews, but when I witnessed how the "nail tech" worked on my hands and feet, I knew I had to leave this review. First, I use "nail tech" in quotes because I dont think these people are licensed nail technicians. It seems like theyre either friends or family members of the owner. As I was getting my pedicure, I witnessed the "nail tech" remove hangnails by pulling them all the way down to my cuticles! Even I know you should never pull on hangnails. Of course I immediately started bleeding, but the "nail tech" just continued. My nails were cut in all sorts of different angles, none of them are straight. Despite picking only 1 color for both my manicure and pedicure, my toes and fingers are completely different colors. I noticed that all the tools were being pulled out of a drawer instead of new packages, so they reuse their tools here too. I fully understand that English is a very difficult language to learn and I do not expect everyone to speak English, but when youre in the nail service business and the only English words you know are "nail" and "cut", theres bound to be miscommunications. The "nail tech" began to cut my nails way too short and when I tried to tell them I didnt want my nails short, they didnt understand what I was trying to say and just kept cutting. If youre wanting a particular pattern done on your nails, theres no way they will understand you. I noticed a lot of elderly customers while I was there and noticed that a lot of the positive reviews are from older people. I think perhaps older people dont realize how bad the salon is, because younger people will immediately notice the bad practices and the lack of proper technique. 4 days after leaving and my big toe looks infected, so no I will NOT be going back and I will never recommend this place to anybody

1 /5 Katie Hernandez: I went here because of the good reviews I had seen but whoever was working when those reviews were written must not be here because it was awful. I went to get my nails filled in, I told the woman I wanted to keep the same shape they were in but ended up shaping them the wrong way, wanted to charge $30 for a nail design that was just dots on two nails and then one of the nails fell off and now the others just 1 week after getting them filled in are starting to break and come off. I will have to go back to my normal salon T Nails in Ringgold by Food Lion, which is where you should go, and I will never stray from again, to have to pay for another fill in to repair my nails. Highly aggravated about spending $40 just to have to spend another $40 a week later when fill ins should last at least two weeks and she messed up the shape of my nails.

1 /5 Anita Knight: I tried this nail shop with a friend. Of course the owners are non English speaking while youre there. The husband did an okay job on my nails. I got the gel nails. He dipped the brush once and tried to polish all 5 fingers with that one dip. After he polished my nails with gel nail polish he began filing my nails again with a rough course file again. I got my own real nails polished. No tips or extensions no full set. I thought what? What are you doing filing after the polish.?Then the wife , I guess that who she was came over to collect the money. She spoke English to ask that I pay now, but after my minimum tip, she started speaking non English so fast and viciously the whole family turned to look at me. NEVER EVER AGAIN.
