Very clean, great foot & leg massage, & they just do great work!” Their attention to hygiene and comfort sets the tone for a relaxing visit where you can fully unwind.

What makes Pearly Nails genuinely stand out are the owners themselves, who infuse the salon with warmth and gentle care. As several guests have beautifully pointed out, this place doesn’t feel like the typical rushed or clinical nail salon but more like a haven of gentle kindness.

Clients who return time and again speak to the exceptional skill and precision found at Pearly Nails. Amanda Bratton notes the “fantastic job every time” paired with reasonable prices, making it an accessible luxury in the city. Meanwhile, A Friedman was thrilled to find the “best gel manicure of my life,” highlighting the meticulous, perfectionist care from Hoa, who even considers protective details such as applying sunscreen before LED curing—a thoughtful touch that speaks volumes about their professionalism.

Longevity and quality are key benefits here; according to Hannah Weinstein, her gel manicure “lasted a solid month.” This durability combined with the consistently friendly service creates a loyal clientele who trust Pearly Nails not only for their expertise but also for their genuine kindness and attentiveness.

    This was the cutest salon and the owners - a mother and daughter - were so sweet and gentle. Many nail salons these days feel more stressful than pampering, but here they took their time and I actually enjoyed the whole experience from start to finish

    This was the cutest salon, and the owners—a mother and daughter—were so sweet and gentle. They have done a fantastic job every time, and the prices are reasonable for all other customers. Highly recommend this place!

    Just got the best gel manicure of my life. I’m so happy I found this place! Hoa is the best- so meticulate, gentle, perfectionist, and I love that she used sunscreen for the LED. Super hygienic too which I love

    I’ve tried a few salons in the area since I moved to this neighborhood and this is by far the best one! My gel manicure lasted a solid month, and they were so kind and friendly. Prices are great too! Highly recommend.

    Hoa and Van were so sweet and careful when doing my nails. Unfortunately my nails had been filed down too much by previous nail salons. They took their time when removing my gel polish and were so detail oriented. I appreciated that they weren’t in a rush to get the job done and wanted to make sure I liked the results. They also placed sunscreen and a towel over my hands when applying the gel polish which I thought was very special. Got a gel mani pedi and the prices were also very reasonable. Will definitely be back.
