Hollie’s Nails

So we’ve all been there: Let our toes languish under benign neglect only to suddenly find ourselves having to wear open-​toed shoes to some event or other. Hollie Nails is where you go when you need a mani-​pedi on short notice.
It’s a no-​frills place staffed by people who are polite, if somewhat disinterested in awkward, forced conversation. It was fairly quiet while I was there.
I’m not confident that this will last very long but it’ll get me through the weekend.
Sometimes that’s all you can ask for from a $ 16 pedicure.
Cash-​only.

They did one of the best pedicures I’ve had in a long time. I get my nails done every week and a pedicure every 3 weeks, and this was my first time here. My feet feel so soft. She also had me in and out in 45 Minutes. That’s great timing.

First time here and I liked their prices. I saw that they did well sanitizing since the lady brought out a plastic with all the utensils she will use on my nails. BUT I WAS WRONG! I saw one of the lady’s «sanitizing» the utensils and all she did was rinse and scrub them with a brush and dried them off and put them in a sealed bag! Gross! My manicure wasn’t all that great either. The lady was using her nails to push down my cuticles when she had the tool to do it! I also didn’t get why she kept rubbing water on my nail… Anyways the hand massage could’ve been better and the paint job is horrible! I have bubbles on every nail! And she got some nail polish on my skin!

Part of me doesn’t want to post about Hollie’s Nails so that it will stay relaxing and not crazy busy. That said, they could probably use the business (only 3 of us in there on a Saturday afternoon). So here we go: clean, cheap, very personable staff, large selection of Zoya polishes, professional and meticulous nail care, brand new super comfy massage chairs, and did I mention the personable staff? Hollie did my sister’s pedicure and she was very sweet. We didn’t realize it was CASH ONLY and while I said I’d leave my sister there and go run to an ATM Hollie said not to worry and not to rush, just bring her the $ when we got a chance (we walked to ATM and brought it right back).
I’ve definitely found my Go To place.

I love Hollie’s Nails! I have been going to them for years and find them friendly and competent. Their prices are reasonable, the salon is clean and they are constantly cleaning. They have just installed beautiful new chairs with good massage machines. I recommend them.

The best place in the neighborhood to get your nails done and waxing. Very, very nice ladies, clean, comfortable, great colors. I love the place. I go nowhere else.

Love Hollie. Love Amy.

Hollies nails provides great service at cheap prices. I’ve been going here for waxing and pedicures for years. I highly recommend it!

LOVE this place! Very Friendly!

I should have read the reviews. They must not clean their equipment in the proper way as I got a toe nail infection not long after my pedi. I have never had this happen before and now I am so sorry I went! It is inexpensive for a reason!!! They are nice people but nice doesn’t prevent infections.

I went to Hollie’s one day desperate for a brazilian wax. It was a nightmare experience. I had burns, bruises and bleeding. One of the women had no idea of what she was doing and just slathered the wax on, put down the fabric and then yanked — repeatedly. She didn’t even try to pull on the skin in the opposite direction to decrease the taring effect. I should have stopped her after the first 5 pulls over the same area of skin. I felt paralyzed. A few days later, I noticed some hair growth, which leads me to believe that most of the hair was just torn away, rather than being pulled out by the roots. Bad bad bad experience.

I was in desperate need of a brow wax, to the point where a man at the honda dealership cracked a joke about unibrows (I totally didn’t have a unibrow) anyways, I tried calling a million places in the area but APPARENTLY they were alllll booked up. I began driving around piedmont Ave and saw hollies across the street, well all I saw was «wax» on a nice sign. I ran inside and the ladies were sweeter than pie. I went in the back where one of the younger girls had me lay down while she took care of business. When I left my eye brows were totally fugged up. Half was chola and the other half was alright, but worst of all my skin was bleeding!!! and I had some burns because the wax was so hot. I don’t recommend getting anything waxed here unless you have a mustache, but in that case it ten times easier just to do it yourself.

Oh my! I’ve been looking for Hollie and Carol for awhile. I didn’t know they relocated from Lisa’s Nails on Grand Ave. Now, I ‘m back and happy to be with these terrific women. They treat me as an individual and cater to my wants. After all, this is my self indulgent time.
I strayed for awhile at another place on Grand but I have to say they were so busy the quality suffered.
Very clean and organized shop with a large array of colors.

I was popping into another nail salon down the street on Tuesday evening at 6:30 PM. They weren’t willing to take a last minute walk-​in so I decided to check out Hollie’s a few doors down.
No appointment necessary. Mani/​Pedi for $ 25. They do a great job, especially for the price. Hollie and Kathy were careful, gentle and details. Good color choices.
Cash/​check only.
4-​stars b/​c I can’t tell how clean and sanitary everything is. From appearance, everything looked clean and sterile, but I didn’t see the tools being sanitized or new supplies (file/​buffer) being taken out of bags, etc.
I will definitely go back! Thanks Hollie!

For getting a simple leg or bikini wax, I don’t need fancy. Hollie’s is clean, the staff accommodaing and nice, and the services are at least $ 10 cheaper than that Jewels place on telegraph.
I will go back– very satisfying results.

They are so nice and kind. I love my nails and it was relaxing. Good service and great value. I will go back next time.
Maybe I will have a waxing next time too.

the eyebrow wax here is amazing.
however, they don’t properly clean their equipment for manicures and pedicures… which led to my toe nail falling off…

I haven’t gotten my nails done here, but after seeing the other reviews, I might try it out.
I did, however, stop in here for a much-​needed excavation of the facial hair. Thanks to my Eastern European heritage, I’ve got great hair… all over my body. So periodic grooming is in order. I’ve found that most nail salons do a «good enough» job with such maintenance, with the very terrible and very good wax jobs being few and far between.
The woman who did my brows and lip at Hollie’s was amazing. Not only was she a perfectionist, making sure to find every stray hair where ever it may hide, but she also checked with me periodically to make sure she was on the right track. She also went quickly enough that getting hair ripped out of my face didn’t hurt as much as it usually does. She really knew what she was doing, and the proof is right here on my face: Beautifully-​shaped eyebrows with little to no redness on my skin. And the best part of all? It was cheap! I’ve paid $ 30 to get my face looking like this, but today I paid half that (not including tip).
Normally, I’ll just get my face waxed at whatever salon I happen to be standing in front of (that’s exactly how I ended up here in the first place) but I will definitely go out of my way to come back here next time the Yeti needs to be removed.

Hollie is sweet and does a genuinely good job. It’s not as fancy as the other Piedmont salons, but they will take care of you. I got one of the best hand massages of all time and left feeling way more relaxed. Good polish selection, and very inexpensive.

The staff is really nice and friendly. They work really hard to make sure your nails look perfect. Always had a great experience.
