Apple Nails & Pedispa

I have visited this location on two occasions. The first time for a pedicure. That experience was five star. I do not know the tech’s name but he was a young male with highlights in his hair. I really liked him. He did a terrific job making my feet beautiful. He was polite and offered good conversation.
My second experience was a one star at best. One of the tech’s took my polish for another customer and I had to select a new color. After my manicure she walked over and giggles and says «here is your color». When it came time for my manicure the assigned tech offered me wine to which I politely declined. I smiled and said «no thank you». She laughed at me and asked if I would «prefer milk or apple juice, sweetie» which elicited laughter from customers in the pedicure section. It was very embarrassing! The third tech was very critical of my thin nails and I wish he had kept his personal opinions to himself. I wish I had just walked out but I was there with friends, one of whom received a pedicure from the tech mentioned in my first paragraph, she loved him!
I will not return to this location.

I called on a Sunday for three of us to go in. They said to come in an hour and we did. I really liked this place. I did have to wait a bit but once they started on me I didn’t feel rushed. They took there time and I felt pampered. They have awesome massage chairs. It’s a little different sitting at a counter for the manicure but I enjoyed my experience. A little pricier than other places but you get more pampering. Not a place you want to run in for a quick mani/​pedi.

I had chosen apple nails for my friend and me to go to for manicures. She wanted gels and I wanted a basic. I can say with 100% certainty, I’ll never be returning.
First there was my manicure which left me sitting on an uncomfortable bar stool. The manicurist didn’t even soak my nails, she put them in a non-​zip sandwich bag with some kind of lotion — jankey. Then she proceeds to sloppily cut my cuticles and in the process cuts my finger and I bleed all over. Finally she «buffs» my nails but in fact she just scratched them so bad I have to buy a buffer and do it myself.
Next, my friend’s manicure… First of all it was the longest gel manicure I ever sat through — 1.5 hours. And believe me, it wasn’t because she was being pampered. He finished cutting her cuticles about 10 minutes after mine was finished (hers started before mine) and did zero scrubs, wraps, nada. We were talking and he slapped her hand because she was moving too much, instead of like, uh, saying «excuse me but the movement is making it harder to do.»
Neither of our manicurists appeared to have state licensure and I would highly recommend you NEVER go to this place. Also I’m not sure about their sterilization since the tools came out in a basket… I’m used to them coming out of a hermetically sealed bag.
Just say no and go to Studio 59.

I love this place. Now, an important thing to keep in mind is that this is a place you come to be pampered, not a place you visit for a quick in and out mani or pedi. Everyone is incredibly nice and treat you with respect. You get massages with your manicures and pedicures and if they are being too rough all you need to do is tell them and they will ablige.
Great atmosphere, complimentary beverages and amazing staff. If you are looking to spend a couple of tranquil hours on yourself, this is where to go.

I had seen many Facebook friends recommend Apple Nails and decided to stop by for a pedicure on a Sunday. I didn’t have an appointment. They put me in a pedi spa chair right away. But, I sat for 60 minutes waiting to be seen. When the young man started, he was incredibly rough with my toes while trying to work on the cuticles. He was also using way too much pressure. He even sliced open the skin between the side edge of the nail and the nail bed on my big toe. He should have known that soaking someone’s feet that long would cause them to be softer. That injury took 3 weeks to heal. They tried to up charge me for a service that I didn’t have and had no response when I mentioned the injury. I will never go back and do not recommend others visit this establishment.

After a second and third visit it is necessary to change my review. This place is okay. My first experience was a great experience… something happened… service isn’t that great… pedis were just ok. Too many nail shops around to lack great service. Too bad, I hoped they were on to something.
Exceptional service. Beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. If you like to get a relaxing experience at your visit to the nail salon, I would definitely visit. ***They use new tools on each client!!!*** Great color selection. I won’t go anywhere else in Chattanooga.

Absolutely love this nail salon!!! Clean, great décor and great service. The staff is great and did an amazing job on my pedicure. This will be the only nail salon I go to in Chattanooga.
