Allure Nails & Spa

Just had my first manicure in Charlotte (relocated from
NJ to NC). Went here based on other Unilocal reviews. Pleasantly surprised –great gel manicure and friendly attendants. Will go back!

I went with my niece to get manicures, and it was the worst mani I’ve ever had. They sat us across the room from each other so we had to shout to talk to each other. They didn’t do the snowman she wanted, didn’t shape my nails, and got the gel polish on a couple of my fingers. I had such high hopes and really wanted to do something special with my niece. Well, we both learned to stick with the place we know and love that’s closer to home.

I’m quite particular about who touches my feet (very ticklish) and the girls here were very mindful of that! Love how professorial and happy they are, it was such a fun experience and now I have lovely twinkly toes!

They just started offering massages, so I decided to try it. I couldn’t be happier that I did! I’ve had many massages by many different people but this was by far the best one I’ve ever had! Will be booking for myself and my husband very soon!

I went to get my eyebrows done here yesterday and will never ever go again. I asked for a touch up and made this known multiple times. The woman ended up taking some off one of my eyebrows making them uneven. I will never ever go back and suggest if you need your eyebrows done to go somewhere else.

Awesome experience at this salon. I wanted to give them a try after another Unilocaler had been there and left a five star review that came up on my feed. Had a full set done and OPI pedi and loved both! They are the sweetest ladies and I am super pleased with the quality of my nails. As for the poster who mentioned they had a small selection of nail polish and charged extra for certain colors, i’m not sure what polish she was looking at but they have nothing but nail polish in this place! They do offer a long lasting polish that is an additional four dollars but it lasts 6 to 8 weeks and says so on the board. I opted for a long lasting polish on my nails and it is incredibly shiny which I personally love.
If you are looking for a nail salon in the area I would recommend trying this one for sure!

Decided to check out this place after reviewing previous Unilocal reviews. I went with my cousin and two nieces. The place was nearly empty, had horrible ventilation and the rudest service possible. Our manicures and pedicures were a D-​, they missed every foundational item possible. They have no clue how to cut cuticles properly, apply nail polish evenly or service their clients. To top it all off, they attempted to overcharge our party by $ 50.00.

So I think I’ve found me new lunchtime pedicure spot! I walked in and they were immediately able to start on my pedicure as they said. A lot of places will say they can and sit you in the chair for 10 minutes before they start.
I picked out a color and what do ya know i found a color that almost exactly matches my Gel Manicure that I do myself at home. I sat in the chair and she gave me a towel to put over my legs since I was wearing a dress and offered me something to drink, however I passed. She took her time as she completed my pedicure. She asked me a few questions as she worked, however, even during a lunch break, I work, so I was too busy answering emails to truly engage. She did a very thorough job and painted each toe to perfection. Even when an appointment she had came in, she did not let that affect the quality on me.
At $ 30 for a classic pedicure, This place is well worth the extra $ 5 you’d pay at most other spots.

I went in on a Wednesday around 6pm. There was no wait and Tammy brought me back right away. She was thoughtful and asked if the wax temp was okay (most that I’ve been to don’t bother to don’t ask). She also suggested that I let one of my brows grow out in one area so that they were more even. I have been to a few other places for brow waxing and it’s mostly just in and out, with very little talking or consultation. I love that she took the time to give me some advice. I’ll definitely be back to see Tammy!

My wife wanted a pedicure «before sandal season» started. Being new to the area she checked Unilocal for reviews before selecting where to go. She said she was very pleased with all the options and prices were reasonable. Everyone was very nice and she will be back.

Just moved to the area, and based on all reviews I thought this is going to be my new to-​go nail place.
It was Friday afternoon, and salon was empty (one other lady was paying and leaving…). I asked for mani and change my toes color. That did not make the girl happy, almost like my request was a waste of time. Guess what — your salon is empty, so any business is good business. But whatever, I brushed it off, everyone can have a bad day, right?
I wanted regular mani (no shellac and no gel nails), she was upset about that as well and said something in her native language to other girls. It was clear she was expressing dissatisfaction in my choice of services. I have healthy strong nails, thus I don’t want any permanent stuff on them — is that a crime nowadays???
I have lived from San Francisco to NYC and I’ve never been to a salon where you’re charged extra $$$ for nail polish. Apparently, they have very limited color choices in «regular» nail polish and the rest is «4 dollars…» Mani was already more expensive compare to other salons in the area, so $ 4 on top of that was just too much.
My mani was ok, but nail polish had air bubbles and started peeling off next morning (She did a bad job clearing massage lotion off my nails before putting color on.)
All in all, everything was a few dollars more expensive than other places, attitude was crapy, and I am not coming back.

LOVE ALLURE NAILS!!! I’ve been going to Allure for over a year now, and it is GREAT! Tammy, Van, Lisa and Holly are fantastic! They always do a great job with the services, the place is always clean, their prices are reasonable and they are open on Sundays!
I had a group of friends in town recently, and we went to Allure. My friends are still talking about how much they enjoyed it and how great their manis and pedis were.
I can’t say enough great things about Allure and the friendly staff!

I needed to have my acrylic nails removed, and was looking for a new salon to do it. I found Allure via Unilocal,and seeing the high ratings decided to pay them a visit today.
Allure Nails & Spa is located off Community House Road in that new small shopping center near Ballantyne Corporate Park. They’re near Genghis Grill/​Another Broken Egg Café, etc.
When I arrived there was only one other customer in the place. A woman greeted me and they quickly got me settled in and ready for soaking off my acrylics. After multiple rounds of soaking and filing, we’d arrived at my natural nails.
The woman who greeted me introduced herself as Tammy, and the woman working on my nails was Van. As they saw how thin my natural nails were, both from the acrylics and just my nails being naturally thin, they recommended that I might want to try gel nail polish for a few visits to see if that would help keep my thin, brittle nails from chipping, splitting or peeling.
I was really impressed by this, because when I’ve gone to soak off acrylics at other place, they’ve done the work and cleaned the nails, but never made any recommendations to keep my nails looking good. I’d leave and within hours or days, all my nails would look haggard again.
I decided to give gel nail polish a try and I told Tammy that I wanted something very natural, almost like the french manicure look I was replacing. She came over with a couple of polishes and showed me what they looked like on her nails. I ended up choosing a very light iridescent pink that barely looks like nail polish, which I love.
Midway through my treatment the door opened and 8 girls walked in for a party with a couple of moms. They didn’t have an appointment, and there were only a few women working the salon. Tammy said they could take the girls in for manicures or pedicures, maybe 3 at a time, which seemed fine. I was impressed with how quickly the salon sprung into action to accommodate the new crowd of girls. I was also impressed at how Tammy got to know the girls’ names, what the occasion was (a birthday) and how everyone at the salon interacted with the girls, and with me as well.
I was really struck by how friendly everyone working at the salon was. Tammy and Van and others addressed regular clients by their first names as soon as they walked in the door. Tammy started calling me ‘Cat’ right after asking my name and I get the feeling when I show up again, she’ll have remembered it! I’m terrible at names, which is one of the reasons I wanted to write this review so quickly before I forgot Tammy and Van’s names! I’m always impressed with businesses that take the time to get to know people a bit better.
I left with short, clean, polished nails and a plan to come back in 2 more weeks to get another manicure and pedicure with gel polish again.
First impressions mean a lot, and I had a great first impression from my visit today. I’m a big fan of this place and the women working there, and highly recommend a visit!

Just moved to Charlotte and found my nails place. Super friendly staff, good prices (for the quality of work), clean restrooms (yes, this matters to me and it says a lot about the management), hot teas, cold water, mood lighting and neat nail work. No complaints.
I am more of a pedicure person than a manicure and I love their rather extensive selection of pedicures.
This ones a keeper.

I’ve been coming here for several months and I’ve had wonderful experiences every single time. My gel manicures have lasted three weeks or more. There’s a really large selection of gel colors. Shout out to Lisa! She does an amazing job and always makes sure my nails are perfect (and sparkly).

Allure nails is by far the best nail spa I have ever been to. I have had my nails done regularly for 15 yrs. I found Allure eight months ago and even though it is now quite out of my way I will not go anywhere else.
The staff is very friendly as well as
accommodating. Walk-​ins are welcome and appointments are taken seriously and if that isn’t enough it is the cleanest salon i have ever been to.
If you haven’t already done so it is a must to try. You also will be hard pressed to find a spa in the Ballantyne area with prices like these.

These ladies ROCK!!! I came a casualty of another nail place. I wasn’t going to spend extra money to undo what I already had paid almost $ 100 for another place to do. But, after seeing the most positive reviews in the area at this Nail Salon I thought I give it a shot. I have acrylic nails on with gel polish on top so I asked them to take the gel polish off and just do a design with the regular polish. They obliged without trying to convince me otherwise and ended up doing a cute little design with doing a manicure on my hands as well. They also repainted my big toe to match my new design on my hands. They were great conversationalist very appreciative to have my sale and only charged me $ 30 to which I gave a $ 10 tip for the holidays. When I’m in town visiting family I will be sure to only come to the salon. They are fabulous!

Love this place! Excellent customer service.
…I’ve received soooo many compliments on my nails — would definitely recommend this nail salon!

The staff is very friendly, especially the manager Tam. The weekday prices are great and my nails are always well done. I would highly recommend taking advantage of their services during the work week because the prices are cheaper. They also have fun monthly specials like the pumpkin manicure.

New to the area, so I turned to Unilocal for assistance is finding my new manicurist. I went to Allure based on reviews and I must say my experience was «blah».
While the people were extremely nice– my mani/​pedi was mediocre. I arrived 50 min prior to them closing (I called to ensure they were able to take me). The entire experience was rushed. I think my foot was in the water no longer than 1.5 min the entire pedicure.
Then my gel (UV light) nails were done at the pedi chair… She actually brought the lamp to the chair and placed it on the arm. I was shocked. There were still remnants of my old polish on my hand that I pointed out to one of the techs (two worked on me at the same time).
Needless to say my relaxing nail adventure turned into quite the opposite. Had I known that the main priority was for the techs to go home for the day… I would have took my business elsewhere. The shop closed on time and I received a lackluster job. First time experienced ruined… However I will say they were friendly and the shop was clean.
