What customers said about dip powder
LV NAIL & SPASo glad I found LV Nails while visiting Tybee Island! They had everything I was looking for and did such a great job on my nails. I absolutely love how they turned out! If I ever make it back to Tybee, I'll definitely be coming here again!
Lacquered Up Nail SalonLove love loved it. Amazing service, spectacular company and conversation, and the best nails I’ve gotten. I bite my nails and have absurdly short nail beds, but Carol worked absolute magic on my teeny nails.
1016 Nail HausNicole is the best! She has been my nail tech for about a year now and I never want to go to anyone else. I always look forward to my appointments with her. She is professional and knowledgeable about all things nails. I like to challenge her by finding unique designs for her try on my nails. She always does a…
Perfect Polish SalonDef a favorite! I travel about 40 mins to get my nails/pedi and eyebrows done here. (I call them therapy sessions lol!) Perfect dip technique, they sanitize their tools, the owners and all of the techs are very kind, and my natural nails have never been stronger! 10/10 will always recommend! Also, highly suggest asking about their infinity bracelets!
1016 Nail HausI’ve been seeing Elena for a few months now and I’m always very happy with my nails after each appointment. The customer service is amazing, and the atmosphere is calming and enjoyable.
1016 Nail HausLove this place! They recently changed the name- previously Whitemarsh Nails. Every tech is awesome and the vibes are so good. I live 2 minutes away and started going for convenience. I am moving soon and still plan to drive the 30 minutes to this establishment. They are that good.
