Reviews of Inspire Nail Bar & Spa

Momina K.

I recently went to Inspire Nail Bar and Spa, and had an excellent experience. In addition to great customer service and cleanliness, I absolutely adore the design I was able to get done by Andrew. When making my appointment I forgot to mention that I wanted both a manicure and pedicure, but the manager at the front desk was so understanding and accommodating, especially given that they were very busy. Also Andrew understood exactly what I wanted from just one picture I showed him, immediately. Clearly knew what he was doing. I have sensitive skin around my fingers and sometimes bleed but I didn’t have that experience, and it was great! Andrew was meticulous in his work, and redid the flowers when he thought they didn’t look good (even though I thought they looked totally fine). The final result was amazing and have never been so happy with a design before in my life. I will definitely be going back. Also they offer you something to drink, which is a nice plus.

Came here last weekend for a mani & pedi—called ahead to make a reservation so no wait when I got there! The salon is huge—super spacious and clean. They offer a complimentary drink—options were wine, champagne or mimosa, which was a nice treat! For my pedicure, I got the Sea Breeze—overall it was okay, the tech was not that gentle, but my toe nails came out good. I got the gel manicure—I chose different shades of purple. I was not happy with how one of my nails turned out, so I asked to have it fixed—my tech fixed it right away! Overall, happy with my manicure. Pricing is a bit high here compared to other nail salons I’ve been to. Staff were nice but not really chatty at all.

I had Andy do my nails. He was wonderful! He gave me the best pedicure and a incredible dip manicure with designs. I showed him a picture of something I wanted to try off Instagram and he matched it perfectly! The salon was very clean and beautiful. The staff was kind and attentive. I’d recommend to anyone looking for great service and attention to detail with a welcoming atmosphere!!

This nail salon is so great! I see *Crystal* for my gel manicures/ pedicures about once every 2-3 weeks. I told Crystal I love having my nails done but I get impatient with how long it can take some time. She totally took this to heart. She is so fast while still giving amazing results. It makes getting my nails done so enjoyable. The salon is really clean and relaxing. They always play this playlist of instrumental versions of famous songs and it’s so relaxing. I’ve seen other people here before I found Crystal and they were all also excellent! She just became my girl there. So, you’re in good hands no matter who you see. I definitely recommend this salon!

Nydesja Pearson

I loved coming here. I received nothing but good energy from all the employees, and lots of accommodation. I love going to Trudy to do my nails because she really goes out to make sure you have the nails that you want. I definitely recommend coming here !!

I visited Inspire Nail Bar and when I walked in, I was very impressed by the atmosphere of the location. It feels very regal when you enter through the door. I thought I was about to receive the best service ever, NOT! The lady that serviced me had subpar skills, at best. She couldn't do anything I asked her for. My gel pedicure was a 2.5/5, my gel manicure was a 1/5. I ended up settling just to get out of there. My brows did look good and that's why I'm giving a 3/5. The mimosa I received was in a kiddie plastic cup and there was only one given. If you're charging upscale prices, offer upscale service! I'll never go back. A true waste of money because I had to go somewhere else up get my nails and toes redone.

I visited this nail salon over this past weekend looking for silk wrap nails. I saw they had the service listed on their website, so I decided to check them out. Turns out they do not do silk wrap nails. The manager went to check with the nail techs to see if someone was available for the service I originally stopped in for, and I was told they “couldn’t do it today”. No big deal since I was a walk in. I decided to get a gel manicure with designs. Andy did a great job! He took his time and the design he painted was perfect. Exactly like the photo I showed him. If you have been to a few nail salons, then you know how they typically operate. Inspire is not much different, but they are very clean, have upgraded technology, lots of color options, and from what I can tell so far (just observing while I was there) everyone can perform the service you want. I plan to go back to Andy and have him do my birthday nails later this month. This may be my go-to place from now on.

I am not from Baltimore, but it if I was, I would be here regularly. It was extremely clean, modern, and my pedicure station was sterile and set up before I sat down. My Nail Technician was very professional, and gave me one of the best pedicures I have ever had. Nails cut, cuticles trimmed, calluses removed, salt rub, and lotion applied...the boss even came by with a glass of wine and checked the techs work. The $40.00 was worth it the price.

Marlene Shirey

Love this place. I work in the area and stop by on my lunch break. Had a gift certificate issue and the owner was very polite and addressed my concerns, helpful and polite. Look forward to a little me time during my work day.

Brittany Sierakowski

I have come to Inspire ever since COVID started because I was looking for a clean salon. Inspire goes above and beyond to maintain cleanliness and make sure each client feels safe. Today I worked with Katryna and she did an amazing job at my Christmas nails! She was very polite and gave a great pedicure and dip manicure.

Caitlin Graziani

I don’t even want to write this review because I’m afraid everyone will want to go.... Exceptionally clean facility, nail techs went above and beyond. Best mani/pedi. Most PERFECT gel mani I’ve ever had. Extra massage. Super chic inside. New favorite nail salon! ALL the colors.

Alison Haney

This was my third visit at Inspire Nails! I don’t get my nails done frequently because of my job but I like to do it for special events/when I want to feel a little extra pretty. I have only ever known to ask for acrylics when I want extra length. When I showed my nail tech my reference picture she recommended dip powder instead. They ended up perfect! I loved that my tech checked in throughout the process to make sure I liked them. I got a pedicure as well - I love trying out the different scrubs and everything during my visits! The employees here are great and everything is always spotless and professional. ❤️

Noemi Garces

i loveeeeeee this place. theyre so quick with service i usually never wait longer than 10 mins to be seated at the pedicure area or the nail area. they’re so quick and the quality is just as nice. i got a full set for the first time in MD and i chose something simple because i was afraid. now I’m not afraid, i loveeeeee my simple red nails. i asked for a medium coffin and i love how thin and cute they are.

Adriana Hinojosa

Second time coming here and have nothing but great things to say. Very clean and professional. My nail tech made sure I was happy with my nails. They offer a selection of drinks and several color choices for pedis! Will be returning🤗 …

Sydney Johns

Trudy did a amazing job on my full set and pedicure. The salon served wine, water and tea. The salon was very clean and beautifully decorated.

Meaghan Mallon

Mina was my technician and she gave me the best mani/pedi I have had it years. She was so precise and my nails still look great! I will definitely be going back and specifically requesting her.

Monchel Moses

Jade did an amazing job on my nails, it was my first time there and I will be returning. Thanks again Jade.

Taneka Northan

Best first impression of a nail salon! Clean and aesthetic layout, very friendly nail techs, attentive manager, good prices for services offered & beautiful work. Covid safe practices & overall great service I will definitely be returning.

stephanie eyocko

It’s been about 1.5 weeks and my mani and pedi still look great. They are WONDERFUL. Plus they give you a drink of choice (I had the mimosa and it was a very nice touch). Clean bathroom. Clean space. Good vibes and great service.

Kiki D1B

This was my second time visiting. Mina is the technician that helped me, and it was lovely meeting her. She’s very soft and gentle, but also meticulous with her work. She offers great suggestions, is careful with your hands, and her work is flawless. I had Crystal my first time there, and she’s absolutely wonderful also! They take walk-ins, offer all of the waxing services, and I can’t wait to go back and get my toes done!

Alison Haney

I went to get a full set of acrylic nails and a pedicure with gel polish! I was seen immediately even though I didn’t have an appointment. The salon was clean and adhered to social distancing regulations. I was surprised with how much attention my nail tech gave my feet and legs during the pedicure! The massage he gave my legs and feet was perfect and the steamy towels felt amazing! He also pointed out how light the shade of polish I picked out was, did a test swipe on my toe, and let me pick a new one to make sure I was satisfied. I had a different nail tech when I got my manicure and she was amazing! So sweet and gentle, and gave me exactly the style I asked for! She checked in with me periodically to make sure that I was still happy with everything and she was very meticulous to make sure each nail was perfectly even. I mean it - this was the most positive experience I’ve ever had at a salon and I will definitely be back!!

Liz Schmitz

Great dip manicure! Very efficient and kind.

Jahia Knobloch

Calvin did a great job on my gel pedicure. I got seen fairly quickly after walking in without an appointment. However, getting a sea breeze exfoliation with a gel pedicure was $60 which is much more expensive than I'm used to getting for the same service with gel in the county. I was a little shocked at the final price. Again, he did a great job and they have an excellent range of colors to choose from for gel. Too pricey for me to go regularly with gel.

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The salon is beautiful and immaculate. The staff is so friendly and professional also the products are great . Great work and good energy. Emily is my nail tech and she does my eyebrows she’s wonderful but so are all the nail techs . 💕 …

Bella did an amazing job on my nails. Very sweet & she helped me choose my color

Sakia Allen

Pics of my daughter and my nails. My colorful nails were done by Calvin.

Denise Rodriguez

My experience with Inspire is during the pandemic and the salon was very clean, modern, and spacious with a relaxing atmosphere. They do have a bar to provide free drinks during services rendered but are not incorporating this feature during the pandemic. Lee has done a phenomenal job with my manicures & pedicures. They are experienced and up-to-date in manicure styles. Lee took the time to listen and understand what I wanted to ensure that I had a great experience. If you value quality/experience/atmosphere over price then this is the place to go to.

Allison Freedman

Love coming here!! Everyone is so professional, such great service from the minute I called for my appointment to leaving the salon! Bella did an amazing job on my nails and was so sweet the entire time. Definitely recommend this salon to anyone looking for a great experience and beautiful nails!

Rasheeda McPhaul

My experience here was AWESOME. Beautiful, clean space and every single person on the staff was accommodating and friendly. I was serviced by a sweet young lady by the name of Bella. Bella greeted me and continued to provide stellar service as she gave me a much needed pedi and gel mani, in addition I added the quick facial. It was my first facial, and Bella definitely made me feel like a superstar. I forgot to mention, I called at 3:30pm to make a same day 5pm appointment (no problem). I can only say I will certainly be returning and trying out their other services as well. P.S. I was offered beverages when I was seated.

Walker Hays

This is a beautiful salon and the owner is quite friendly. I had Andrew as my tech and while I found him just a bit on the slow side he did a wonderful job on my dip powder. I have to deduct a star for the pedicure because it has visible brush strokes on some nails and a bit of polish on skin. Would still give it a B+ but for the price expect really clean work. I’d add half a star back if I could because they have an unparalleled selection of dip colors and they’re organized so that for a large selection you can automatically get the coordinating toe polish. High marks for that. All in all a really pleasant vibe with champagne or tea flowing depending on your schedule. Would recommend and suggest you make an appointment as they were slammed and turning ppl away on the Friday.

Aileen Hernandez

I first came here for a dip french manicure and regular pedicure (w Jade) for my friend's wedding. The nails were spectacular and they lasted 3 weeks without a single chip. I had to take them off only because they were too grown out. Since then, I've come twice more. The place has a modern look with dazzling bright lights. Everything is always sparkling clean and they have excellent COVID precautions. All tools for manicure/pedicure are single-use and come in individually packaged bags that are open in front of the customer. I love this place! It's now my go-to nail salon.

MD

I love this place! My nail tech Kimmie works here now and she is amazing. She is so nice and personable and always does a perfect job with gels, dips, eyebrows. Such an eye for small details and great taste. She is such a hard worker! The new salon is so nice (the nicest in Baltimore!!!) with complimentary amazing mimosas and high quality supplies. It is super clean too! Im so happy that this is my new nail salon! You wont regret coming here it is the best in Canton/Fells!

Tanayjah Kenny

great shop, will be returning back Mina is who serviced me she did an awesome job.

Cory Martin

Second visit here for a gel pedicure, today Jade was my artist and she was friendly and did a great job on my nails! Last pedicure lasted weeks and looked perfect! Glossy to the end! Highly recommend this place :)

Kira Scott

They were very kind! and Andy worked very quickly! My nails were done in less than 2 hours :) It is a bit pricey for acrylics with design ($85) but I think it was worth it.

latasha jones

Harry did an amazing job with my nail I would recommend him to do your nails.

Ailani Warrior

It was very relaxing, they provide you drinks and many color options. The people are also very kind. The wait was long (it was busy). Although they are a little harsh. But my feet look nice and I loved the warm towel and massage (it cost $34 for a warm towel, massage, and paint) so overall good experience. And they’re COVID safe 😁 …

Thelma Ejimofor

Mina and Andy did an absolutely amazing job on mine and a friend's pedicures and manicure! It was truly an experience

Hope Hess

Best manicure in Baltimore. I swear polish stays on longer. Clean. Staff is attentive. I was the last customer tonight and Danny was patient and attentive, not rushed. 5/5 overall

Larson Family

I had THE MOST AMAZING FACIAL, followed by one of the most wonderful pedicures ever. Very clean. Incredibly professional. Kind and talented staff. Very welcoming and skilled. Covid-19 aware and absolutely felt safe. Excellent management and service. Trudy was incredible. Really amazing service. So skilled. A very bright spot. Will absolutely return!

Rachel Robinson

Well the place in general is very nice location is nice too. But service and talent there is very much mediocre. I went to get a full set on my birthday & when i got there i was greeted at the door by the manager I’m guessing. Anyway he was doing my set at first & then another guy came over to finish which they didn’t communicate to me they just switched. i wasn’t impressed with my nails, i could’ve went to my regular place which is way better. But i was trying something new anyway it was ok nothing special.

Gina Dandrea

Tiffany always does a fantastic, meticulous job on my nails! And my nails are so healthy! I don’t love a drill on my natural nail, and she is always happy to take her time with the file instead. I would highly recommend Tiffany and Inspire Nail Bar!!!

Alicia Sego

This is the best best best nail salon in Baltimore. Kimmie does incredible nails, they are perfect EVERY time. She was able to spot that I was a runner and relieved pressure in my big toe (and explained how she did it!). Kimmie has also been rehabilitating my nails and they are growing super healthy and look great. Can’t speak enough about how much I recommend her & Inspire. The salon itself is absolutely gorgeous, SUPER clean, spotless and shiny and they have tons of colors to choose from. Like, tons. I have to have neutral nails for nursing school and they have endless neutrals to choose from. Kimmie can even do Ombré Gel nails in neutral colors 🙂 so my nails are still fun even when neutral.

Susan Nugent

I have always gone to a salon that had great cleaning practices but now its super important so rather than going to some place like Slap & Paint ( making that up), I chose an area that I know is more expensive & able to provide the clean environment because customers pay more. I got a pedicure from Kelly which felt great & looks great. In fact a friend was in town staying at a hotel for the weekend & through my suggestion, went to her that same day for a mani-pedi. Dont think twice. Just go! I will say the parking requires you go onto an app but its really inexpensive.

Ellen Surles

I recently took my 3 adult daughters for a Mani/Pedi together for part of my birthday celebration and we had a 5-star experience. Not only is Inspire a beautiful establishment with excellent service but a week later my daughter's are still telling me how happy they are with their nails. Me too!

Nycole Douglas

I only come her for Sonny. At first I was hesitant, because I do not like trying new nail techs without knowing their quality of work but once Sonny started working on my nails, I knew that he would give me exactly what I asked for. Good conversation and he also showed me his portfolio. I can’t wait to try out all the different designs and styles with him!

Jessica R

Stopped in this morning for a gel fix on one nail for a manicure I got last Thursday that just peeled off. The price for one fix was $5 which seemed a little higher than normal but Andy did a nice job. $10 card minimum but accept Venmo which was fine.

Virginia Slothour

Made an appointment with Tiffany, but she was running a bit behind on another client when I arrived, so they offered to have Kelly take care of me. Kelly was amazing! She was gentle and thorough and did a beautiful stripe design for me when I requested an accent nail. Had a great mani/pedi. She asked whether I wanted my brows done, too (they could def use some cleaning up, so I said sure) and honestly, she made me look amazing.

Stacy

Inspire Nail Bar is my new go-to nail salon. It is sparkling clean and stunning on the inside! Upon walking-in, I was immediately offered a glass of wine and seated with a nail technician (Bella). Bella did an amazing job on my gel manicure, and they have held up better than any other salon I have been too. I highly recommend Inspire!

Debora Nelson

Jade is amazing. The best nail technician hands down. Always over exceeding my expectations! As picky as I am, this says a lot!! Thank you Inspire Nails and most importantly, thank you for enforcing a strict COVID-19 policy.

Keiosha Hunt

You can get a decent pedicure here but it’s fairly overpriced. There are better places in Anne Arundel county for $10-20 less.

pamela miranda

Super clean & relaxing. Definitely recommend people to go to it and they never go back to their old salon, they come back to Inspire. Plus the people are nice, friendly & very professional.

Lindsay D'Andrea

Danny did an excellent job on my dip powder manicure! Would definitely go back. The salon is clean and everyone is very friendly.

Fahren Nipple

I love this place. They are very professional and clean. My favorite is Andy! I show him any picture and he ALWAYS shows out on my nails! If you want your nails and toes done right, go to Inspire Nails!

Deijah Wilson

Great service! My nails look beautiful every time!

Bernadett Csete

The salon is great. Jade always does a great job , my nails look amazing all the time . She is e best and cares for her customers. She does a quality work my nails last long time.

Elexa Bocchino

This nail salon is HUGE and the staff so professional and friendly. My pedicure was a good 45 mins and manicure 30 and I didn’t feel rushed at all. I really enjoyed my experience and can’t wait to go back!!

Laura Faulkner

Love this nail bar. Super friendly staff and probably the cleanest nail salon I’ve ever been in. Very COVID safe - plexiglass at eat station between the client and the techs, spaced out seating. Nice that they always offer champagne and wine too!

Michelle Ponder

I’ve always been loyal to inspire but i’m very impressed with all of the precautions they have been taking with COVID. They take your temp at the door, ensure every customer washes their hands after entering, and they have plexiglass up everywhere, so there’s really no face-to-face contact at all (this in addition to everyone wearing masks). So nice to feel comfortable and be able to give my nails the love they have been desperately needing during this pandemic!

Jenn Bradley

Great place, super friendly. Very clean, attractive and pretty. If you want to feel special or be a queen or king for a few hours you won't be sorry!! Saw katie for pedicures, shes adorable and fabulous!!!

Jennifer N Williams

I love the nail shop it’s clean and no rush my wedding day is today and it went well but I don’t like that they ask for a tip after the service but everything was actually well

Caitlin Carroll

Great attention to detail (cuticles, polish, etc) and such a clean, bright place! One of the best manicures I’ve had since moving to Baltimore.

Asia Miller

Fixed my disaster nails from another shop in less than an hour and we’re very kind to me also I love this shop Mina is my favorite but everyone takes there time and gives you what you ask for

Courtney Renee

Steven did a PHENOMENAL job. I came in with a completely busted set and he went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied. 10/10 would recommend. Will be back!!
