Aqua Day Spa & Nails

Not dirty, not clean. My mani pedi was not great, not terrible. It smelled like secondhand smoke and cost $50 plus tip.

Nail techs are pretty good at their job. They really try to up sell which is kinda annoying sometimes

Overall nice place, however, nails were not polished correctly and looked messy. Nails had so many layers, they could not dry properly.
Disappointed for the the amount of money it cost.

I went there on my birthday last week & had an fill Set done Kyle (I read his name off the wall) He was veryyyyyyyyy Rude I will Never return He will Cause u To not have an Prospering establishment Because of the way he treats people who spends there money! Tell him he needs to invest in Anger management

Fine. Just fine. Would likely do myself instead of going back. Not a great color selection. Not a great job.

The woman doing my nails picked up the cuticle trimmer she had used on the person before me. When I complained she took out a packet with seemingly new ones. She apologized and said sometimes they just don’t have time to do the full “bath”. I assume she means the barbicide or autoclave legally required for sanitation. It was almost halfway through when I noticed the pack she pulled out wasn't sealed, meaning it never got ran through EITHER! Im never going back but seriously hope the health dept does.

I had a very disappointing experience this afternoon. I popped in to see if I could have a manicure. No one else was in the shop. The man said yes and ushered me to a seat at the back of the shop. I sat there for a while and a different man came over eventually. He was very rude and spoke to his colleague in Vietnamese. He tutted at me alot.
When he had painted my nails he took me to the front of the shop and gestured to put my hands under a counter. After 15 minutes I asked if I was done to the man at front. He said yes. I left feeling quite tearful.
What terrible customer service.

Place is disgusting, the place smells like cigars and gives me the worst headaches. They have the worst customer serivce, I would never reccomend this salon to anyone. Don't even waste your money.

Very nice staff! Tried everything to give a nice experience to me and my group of girls and everyone was very happy with their mani/ pedi:) would definitely recommend and the prices are resasonable too!

Some pros and cons. The place is not very nice (flies all around). But they did offer wine and charge $50 for a dip manicure as if it was very high end. Confusing. They had me get my previous dip off my soaking my hands in a bowl of acetone! I did not enjoy this method!

However: I told my tech what color I needed for a wedding and he picked out the most beautiful sheer sparkly pink for me. My nails came out so perfect and lasted without issue for a month. So all in all I might go back if I could afford it.

If I could give less than 1 star, I would. We walked into the salon and it stank of cigarette smoke. The mani-pedis were badly done, and the employees were rude. I wouldn't let my worst enemy go to this salon.

I went here to get a dip powder manicure for which I paid a lot of money and the technician put on an incorrect top coat because the top coat started to peel off the nails within 3 hours of application. By the following day all of the top coat was gone - leaving the weird dry rough powder exposed. I’ve gotten dip powder many times elsewhere and have never had this problem. Unfortunately I was from out of town and couldn’t get back in time to get them fixed. Very upset and would like a refund

I am in Charleston visiting for the weekend, I decided to pop in for a pedicure. They got me right into a chair and Sophia gave me the most relaxing pedicure I’ve ever had. I wish I could have access to this salon all the time! Thanks for adding a bit of relaxation to my weekend!

Henry was great. Nice atmosphere. I had a great experience. Henry was absolutely pleasant and nice

Two stars because my nails look nice, but the gentleman who did them really made me feel worthless by the end of the experience. I have been before and haven't had this issue. It's just not worth it for me to come back, I really don't want to risk feeling that way after a manicure again.

Walked in to get my lip waxed and they got me back within 1 minute of walking in. The person that did it did a really good job and my face wasn’t red and scolding hot when I left. Definitely recommend! Will have to go back to get my nails done.

Great experience. Henry did my pedicure and gel manicure. Was here from out of town but had a little extra time. Glad I did, it was wonderful!

Awful experience here. The guy was rough to the point of almost making my feet bleed for a pedicure. He laughed saying does that hurt? He sprayed alcohol on a clearly open blister. Then I fell on a very slippery wet spot in salon that they did not offer to take off any money from the service that was already terrible.

Went in to this establishment to have a nail repair the tech that was doing my repair left without saying anything to me just spoke in a foreign language to other techs and left, so I was just sitting there no one else said nothing so I get up to leave I ask how much do I owe, so I guess the owner or Mr asks to see my nail someone will finish. Now I still haven't been apologized to or anything so the girl the had to finish just filed it the tech next to her that has a client did the drilling and apologetic to his client for having to stop and finish my nail. I guest since I only had a repair I was important. I'll never return here.

HORRIBLE SERVICE! I would prefer no star at all. RACIST towards blacks! I wouldn’t advice any blacks to go to this place! Yesterday i went in for a full set and pedicure, they told me to sit at number 5.the man came and sat down the vibe was off but I ignored it thinking maybe I was just tripping! Then I asked him what his name was just trying to converse with my possibly new nail tech he told me his name was number 5 then he looked at another tech and they all started laughing! He was very rough throwing my hands around I told him he was very rude.he then cut down to my cuticles more than he should it was so painful when he did my pedicure I paid $30 for a basic pedicure he also cut foot at this point I knew this was done on purpose! He did my pedicure in 10 minutes literately rushed it! I was going to pay more but once I saw his attitude I chose the basic so I can hurry up and go! Just very rude I wanted cry but didn’t want to let them see me cry! They were very nice and patient with the white folks but was rude to all blacks! He asked me if I was from downtown meaning “ghetto” surprisingly I’m actually a student from New York visiting Charleston! Never again blacks please listen to me go to a black owned nail salon ONLY!

I was there for the first time today and I really wasn’t impressed. The place was cluttered and really dirty. The girl who did my pedicure seemed very young and she rushed through it in about 10 minutes. The water wasn’t even warm. I won’t be returning:)

Walked in without an appointment for a mani pedi. Was able to sit right down for the service. I think the technician gets the award for fastest man/pedi in Charleston-maybe even the entire state of SC!
I was very disappointed and will not be returning.

I've been to many shops around the area and I've never had a nail tech be so rude before. He didn't do my full set the way i wanted (coffin nails) and when I questioned him, he got irritated and said that he " does this all day" and gave a fake laugh. He rushed the whole process with the pedicure, took a little more time with the full set, only to not do them properly. Some of my nails didn't have the same shape and it was noticeable. Also, a little unsanitary, he rinsed a tool he used off in my USED pedicure water, EW. Price for gel pedi & full set was around $105, would be worth it there was good customer service & a skilled technician. You can save about $10-15, get better results & customer service at many salons in Charleston. They are only in business b/c they're right on King St.and attract tourists who don't know any better.

Aqua Day Spa and Nails what can I say when we first walked in they looked at us like we were crazy they asked us what did we want we told them we want the basic pedicure so we sat down I took off my socks started soaking my feet and they started talking back and forth and their language and she started clipping my toenails and she was like you can't cut yourself and I told her no but the moral of the story was they rushed us they act like they didn't want to do our feet and I would never go back there again and we didn't get our polish even though we wanted clear polish but it came with the package deal they rushed us they were nasty I won't recommend anybody to go back here

Super quick to get in without an appointment. Tony did an amazing job on my manicure so decided to get a parafin wax. The foot and leg massage were delightful. Highly recommend Agua and Tony!

Walked in for a massage and pedicure. The massage was awesome and my daughter got an acrylic set manicure. Prices are reasonable. I would use them again.

GOT MY NAILS DONE OMBRE NUDE AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH ASK FOR BRIAN HE IS THE BEST I PROMISE YOU WANT BE DISAPPOINTED. SO GOOOOOOOOO NOW

Sat down for a pedicure and the guy that was servicing me had to get up and service another lady (for what? I don’t know). The new guy rushed through my entire pedicure! What happened to making the experience RELAXING? ! Geesh! Get to the nail polishing and he was VERY sloppy! I asked him to clean up the edges and he ATTEMPTED to use his fingers instead of nail polish remover and the tool. Very unprofessional in my opinion! Will not return AT ALL

I have never had more beautiful nails or better treatment! Brian did an amazing ombre pink and white nail for me and I am in love. He shaped my nails perfectly and even added some holographic detailing. I could not be happier! Since I go to school in Charleston Aqua will be my new nail place:) go if in town!

Went in wanting a simple white gel full set Brian convinced me to try ombré loved it so much I asked to get it on my toes he was hesitant at first bc they usually only do your big toe but it came out great CANT WAIT TO TRY THE OTHER COLORS

I got my nails done by Brian two times now and every time has been the best. I love the environment here everyone is so friendly and there’s free wine!
