TLC Nail Spa in Aiken, SC

Excellent!!! I am so happy I decided to walk in here today; I love how my nails turned out! I couldn't decide on a color at first, so my manicurist recommended a color-changing gel option. They are light pink but turn lavender at night time/under cold water. I absolutely love them!!

Great service, friendly staff, and he did the exact shape and length I wanted. Very impressed with the service and manicure I received. If you're looking for a good nail salon in Aiken, I highly recommend this one. I'll definitely be back in the future. Thank you!! :)

I wish I'd bothered to look up reviews before trying this place out. I got SNS nails done and, after they offered me stickers for designs and said they didn't know how to do anything "too complicated" (I opted for no design at that), the woman doing my nails made me bleed by being too rough and filing down my SKIN instead of my NAIL. When I flinched, she said "don't worry!" and kept right on. My cuticles now look terrible and it hurts to apply pressure to most of my fingers.

She filed way too close to the nail on several nails so my fingers are actually sore and it's the next day. Only one actually bled, but others have micro tears. When the fingers heal, the nails will generally look fine, but it's ridiculous that it takes all that.

Lastly, she messed up my thumb nail but when I asked if it'd turn out OK she said she wasn't done yet and laughed. She's done now, and the thumb is still messed up, indented from where she "fixed" it by pressing down her finger on the nail to remove excess polish.

I should've left when they said ombré SNS nails would be hard for them because they "might not last as long." I've been getting that from other salons for years with no problem and I chopped it up to inexperience, but the location was convenient and I've never been hurt at a nail salon before, so I figured the stakes were low.

I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend you go, either.

Don't waste your time or money. Got a basic pedi/mani and was charged $65 which was more than the posted charge online. The polish on my nails did not even last a full week. When I called to tell the girl about the nail polish chipping off, she told me I should have gotten a gel mani. Why didn't she tell me that at the time but then it would have cost me more, I am sure. She did tell me to go back and she would redo them but I didn't want to waste my time to do that. Felt it was poorly done in the first place. Will never go back there or recommend this salon. It was not the cleanest or the most appealing.

Walked in while waiting on a prescription to be filled. Was seated right away. I'm a massage therapist so my nails have to be kept very short. The gel polish job I got was absolutely terrible! Super sloppy and no clean up. I could have done better on myself! Do not recommend.

I went there today (walk in) planning on getting a pedicure only as it is that time of year to wear open-toed shoes and sandals here in SC...I was greeted pleasantly by a male staff member who was working on a client. It did not take very long until I was escorted back by my technician, Tina. The pedicure was awesome. She was very meticulous and careful and did a very good job. I am always hesitant to allow someone to mess around w/ my feet and toes, but she was great. I enjoyed the session so much that I decided to go ahead and get a gel manicure. Again, Tina was detail-oriented, focused, and pleasant the entire time. I am not one who has manis and pedis very often, so I certainly appreciated the professionalism. They had relaxing music playing in the background, and the facility was clean and bright. Plus, there were probably about 4 other clients in there (this was around 9:15 on a SAT). I will definitely return to TLC Nail Spa. I am also a local Aikenite, cannot believe it took me so long to discover TLC, but I am glad that I did.
