Gina’s Best Nail Salon

This is my third time here and I love it. It’s small and there are only 2 women working here so sometimes there’s a wait. The prices are super cheap and the service is great

Every two weeks you’ll find me at Gina’s. Looks like a review hasn’t been written in a while. There are new owners — great customer service, good prices and clean environment. The location is a little old, but the people working there make it a great place to go. I go for a gel manicure and pedicure — it’s $ 40. You can’t beat that price and they give you a glass of wine! (Or juice or tea). It doesn’t look like much but give Gina’s a try!

I recently moved to this area and had an extremely hard time finding a good nail salon. I decided to try Ginas after driving & walking by everyday. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT HERE. great selection of colors and designs, clean & comfortable facility, friendly staff. They did my nails perfect (shape, length etc.) and paid a lot of attention to detail. A refill for acrylic would’ve only been $ 17 but I wanted a design on every nail so it was $ 27 still not bad compared to other salons in the area. (they only charged $ 1 per nail for a design) Complimentary wine or beverage while you’re there too — I HIGHLY recommend this to everyone!

I really like this place. The ladies are really sweet, very attentive, and very detail oriented. Every time I’ve been it was just me and my friend — very uncrowded although we went during daytime hours in the middle of the week or on Thursdays. Either way, I’ll definitely be coming back here for great and reasonably priced services.

They waxed my eyebrows for 7 bucks an did a decent job, so I guess I can’t complain, but their place is kind of tired and run-​down. I will say that they were pretty sweet and there was no wait. Alright for just a standard eyebrow wax.

I have visited this nail salon twice in the last year. My most recent visit was incredible which was understandable when I found out that they are recently under new management. I went to the salon on a rainy Tuesday evening after work. When I sat down for a pedicure, I was handed a complimentary glass of wine. The ladies were so friendly and happy. I decided to get a gel manicure and eyebrow waxing as well, all of which totaled $ 47 (pedicure, gel manicure, eyebrow wax)! The quality of all three were better than some $ 40 pedicures I have had on Main Street in Manayunk. Go to Gina’s! It’s an affordable and high quality nail salon in Manayunk with free parking in the back– virtually unheard of!

I give 2 stars because I didn’t have to wait. However, the pedicure I got chipped in 2 days. Such a shame too, because it’s walking distance for me.

Although the rent on Ridge Avenue is cheaper, the prices at this salon equal those on Main Street or in center city. The people who run the salon are very nice but nice isn’t enough. They ran cold water for my pedicure and gave me less treatment than some other salons. When I had waxing done, it was done badly both times, resulting in irritation and regrowth overnight. Once after waxing, I was sore for days.

My roommate turned me on to Gina’s and although I get mostly seasonal pedicures, they always remember me when I walk through the door. I have been to a couple of places in the area and they are not quite as homey. Gina’s Best is very personable and professional — they’ll chat with you but allow you to relax or read. They don’t talk over you contstantly in another language and are very clean and speedy. The selection of color is adequate and the price is reasonable — About $ 25 for a pedicure, sans tip. Close enough to Manayunk without Manayunk price tag. The quality is top rate and no pushiness to get other services done.
They do get busy on weekends but I have always been in an out in a jiffy — under an hour. Walk-​ins are welcome and parking is handy enough on the side street, either street or a small lot in back.
They give light massage with a pedicure and seat you in the relaxing, heated massage chairs. I love that it’s unpretentious and they want to see you satisfied.
Thumbs up for an attentive eye brow wax — I hate when you go to a place and they just give you the auto-​curve on the brow. I like when they wax and then do shape detail with tweezers for ultimate effect. It’s virtually painless and they make you very comfortable. Gina’s get’s five-​star for cleanliness, friendliness, convenience & attention to detail. Brilliant!

In my search for a new salon, I happened upon Gina’s. It didn’t look like anything special, just your typical salon.
I got a pedicure and take off acrylic/​manicure and have nothing really good to say about the experience. My pedicure was sloppy. I had originally wanted orange and asked her if she could do red instead after I realized I didn’t like how it looked. Instead of starting over, she put the red polish over the orange! She also cut a cuticle which resulted in a slight, but bleeding cut (It only became apparent to me when she sprayed alcohol on it and it obviously stung).Then she put a lot of soap in tehe foot tub for no apparent reason; it bubbled up and over the tub, soaking my pants (which were folded up around my knees) in the process. Sloppy.
The entire time I was in the pedicure chair, my fingers were in a bowl to soften the acrylic. Unfortunately, the acrylic ended up all over my hands/​fingers in the process, which would have been okay if she had taken it off by the end of the visit. She didn’t and I had to ask another worker to get it off for me.
Then, while I was checking the bottom of my feet to make sure the rough skin had been removed, I discovered my feet didn’t look much different than when I had entered! When I asked if they could fix it, they charged me an extra $ 5 to put ‘medicine’ (callous remover) on it for 10 min and scrub it away.
The overall attitude and work were both lousy, so I will never return to Gina’s.
