“Very pleased with my beautiful gel manicure by Ruby! She carefully removed my acrylic nails and was so meticulous from start to finish to make sure the job was done well. She was so gentle, professional, caring, and kind. Will be going back to see Ruby. Thank you! 🙏”

“First time here and WOW — what a gem! We called this afternoon on a whim and they got us right in. From the moment we walked in, the vibes were amazing. We laughed, joked, and had so much fun the entire time. The salon itself is beautiful and spotless, which instantly made us feel relaxed. Huge shoutout to Sam, John, Ruby, and Kathy — every single one of them was incredibly kind, welcoming, and so fun to chat with. Hands down the best manicures and pedicures we’ve ever had. We felt completely spoiled all evening and walked out feeling refreshed, pampered, and happy. This place instantly became our new go-to, and we cannot wait to come back!”

“EDIT TO ADD: they have reached out to me and issued me a refund. I have never left a bad review for anywhere before, but they were very pushy about me leaving a review and this experience was so bad that I want to give others a warning. Here are pictures of what I asked for vs what I got. Me and my sister went there yesterday and had not been there before. The man doing my nails started by saying that almond nails would suit the design better. He spent almost an hour filing and shaping my nails before even starting on the polish. None of my nails were the same length and none of them were shaped correctly. By the end of the appointment, 3 of my fingers were bleeding. He acknowledged that he cut me and apologized but proceeded to take out the cuticle oil, use the brush applicator along my bloody cuticles, and put the bloody brush back in to the bottle to be used again!! Once it was all done, I had been there for almost 2 hours and didn’t have the time to have them redo it or try to fix it (I also didn’t trust them at this point to continue to work on my nails) as we had an hour drive home and I had to get back to my daughter. He checked me out for my nails and said he was going to give me a free cuticle oil to make up for cutting me. When I got in the car, my sister told me that she also got a free cuticle oil from a different artist. So I assume this was not some special courtesy thing but instead was him just trying to quickly smooth things over. I went home and immediately went to another nail salon to have these soaked off and redone. The nail salon I went to (along with other family/friends) agreed that this was one of the worst sets of nails they have seen… I am out $60 (plus more for having them redone by another salon) and all I have to show for my visit here is scabs around my nails. They also were very pushy with my sister while she was waiting for me to be done. They asked her to leave a google review and kept refreshing google to see her review. Even going as far as to question her as to why it wasn’t showing up and trying to walk her through how to leave the review/questioning if she did it correctly. She is only 14.”

“Love how my nails turned out! Staff was extremely kind even with full staff not being there but they were quick and did exactly what I was wanting! Price was fair for a full acrylic with gel set. Definitely recommend and will be coming back!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding service from Sam at Model Nails I recently visited Model Nails in Anderson and had the pleasure of having Sam as my technician — and I left more than satisfied. From start to finish, the experience was professional, friendly, and precise. What stood out: • Attentive & responsive: I walked in disappointed because another salon had botched my nails. Sam listened carefully to what I wanted, understood the issues, and reassured me he could fix it. True to his word, he made everything look clean, even, and polished. (The salon’s Chamber listing even mentions a “big shout out to Sam for fixing this mess of my nails that another shop made.”)  • Speed + precision: Despite the complexity of correcting someone else’s work, Sam worked efficiently without cutting corners. He delivered quality in good time. • Friendly & communicative: Sam explained each step and checked in to make sure I was happy with the shape, length, and finish. It felt like real collaboration, not just a one-way service. • Clean environment: The salon itself is comfortable and well kept — clean stations, pleasant lighting, organized tools — which adds confidence going into any nail service. Room for improvement: • Pricing wasn’t discussed upfront in my case. For those who are price-conscious, it might help if Sam (or the salon) clearly states cost estimates before beginning. • During particularly busy periods, there might be a rush or slight wait. That is common in good salons, though; it didn’t affect my experience with Sam. Overall: If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely care about your nails, correct mistakes, and leave you walking out feeling happy, I highly recommend asking for Sam at Model Nails. I’ll definitely be back — and I hope Sam is available next time, too.”
