I was seen on a walk-in basis to get a gel manicure here a little over 3 weeks ago. I was seen right away and the ladies were nice and friendly to me. The color selection was a little limited, but the prices were cheap and the manicure was done pretty quickly. It’s lasted well, with only minimal chipping at the base where I’ve picked at the polish(my bad!). I’m planning to return on Friday — that would be 4 weeks after my original mani — to get a new gel!

Honestly don’t understand the hype. Yes, it’s cheap($ 25), but very cramped with no frills, very limited paint colors, and questionably clean tubs. There was an older man who came in off the street and just sat and watched women get their pedicures. When the technicians asked if he wanted anything he said no and just sat there for an HOUR. The space is so small that it was impossible to not be in his presence. It felt creepy and weird. He talked about giving the owner a check previously… but for what? To let him sit in her store and look at women’s feet? I just wanted to get out of there.

By far the best nail salon in Philadelphia that I’ve been to thus far. The lovely ladies at Hot Nails know exactly what they’re doing. They’re super kind, friendly with their clients, and make sure they pay close attention to detail. The prices are VERY reasonable. I’ve gone to several salons that were more expensive than this place and none have come even close to the worthiness of Hot Nails. Keep up the good work girls and I can’t wait to hold hands again in a couple weeks! XO –Liz

Awesome quick service. I went at lunch on a Thursday and despite it being a small studio they saw me right away. She did a great job on my manicure. Bonus points that I watched her put the tools she used in the sanitizer oven as soon as we were done. I will definetly go back. Prices seeemd good too.

This place is a fantastic deal. $ 28 for a manicure AND pedicure. And for this price and the speed at which they work, I thought they did a great job. Polish looks good and the service was super friendly. Not the fanciest shop around, but what you would expect given how inexpensive it is. It’s a small shop, but not crazy busy, so walking in was fine.
