Mani Q Spa in Wilmington, NC

Mani Q Spa is my most favorite nail salon ever  The things that make it great are 1.) The people. Everyone who works here is kind and professional 2.) The service. Every time I have gotten my nails done at Mani Q, whether it is a super busy weekend or a quiet weeknight, I have received top-notch service. I've gotten my nails done by the owner (her name slipped my mind), Jessica, and Tin and they always take their time and make sure I'm at happy with the results. I never feel rushed. Even when I am short on time and ask for a quick polish change, they are very accommodating and never slack on quality. 3.) The spa is always clean and well kept. They also have tons of nail colors and I feel like the products are much better quality than other places. I've never seen a dried up bottle of polish or dirty tools. I highly recommend Mani Q Spa!

Nice and clean location. But my tech's pedi massage felt like nothing. I asked for more pressure and she gave a blank stare and seemed like she didn't understand me. Maybe she was training, because the pedi itself was unsatisfactory. I had to ask for her to correct some of the paint a few times and she didn't shape the nail properly. But my friend had a good time so that's why I'll give 2 stars for my review.

Called last night around 6p to see if they still fit me in for a classic pedicure ($30) as they close at 7p. They said yes and to come in. They were PACKED when I got there. I was seated in a spa chair immediately, waiting about 15 minutes to get a nail tech. He was super sweet and very gentle. I asked for gel and he confirmed that a price upcharge ($20) was okay. It took about an hour which put me there a little after they closed. I was one of several customers there past closed but they never rushed anyone, and my nail tech was certainly beyond sweet. He was apologetic about the pedi taking a bit long but they are damn near perfect.

I came back today for a manicure since last night I ran late getting there. I was seated immediately again. I had an older gentleman this time. He was quiet, but also very kind. I got a classic mani with a dip extension ($50). He reassured me that he would smooth the shape or edges when he saw me looking them over mid process. He did a great job as well. They are very thin compared to the usual bulky extensions I get at other salons, and he got them all very even. Mani also took roughly an hour, closer to 45 mins.

I was super impressed by how much the nail tech took her time to make them look perfect! I've gone to a lot of salons that rush through and then I end up with uneven nails or messy designs. The only thing is it was a little more expensive than I normally pay. The staff was also not the most welcoming but to be fair it was pretty busy.

These people are absolutely Fabulous  I Love, Love, Love getting my Nails done here because they literally last longer than any other place that I've been too ... Highly Recommend Y'all
