Ciao Bella Nail Spa

This nail spa is seriously a hidden gem nestled in the Heights. Jennifer did an AMAZING job and was so detailed and careful the entire time. I went in just wanting a pink chrome acrylic tip refill and ended up leaving with the cutest nail art and the prettiest afterglow. She truly brought my nail vision to life. One thing I really appreciated was that she uses a plastic acrylic drill instead of the usual metal one. That made me feel so much more comfortable since my cuticles have been cut before at other salons where things felt rushed. Jennifer took her time and never made me feel like she was trying to hurry through my session. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, which made the experience feel relaxing and special — not rushed or transactional like some other places. I felt very relaxed and taken care of as I sipped my complimentary hot tea with honey. When I told her what I like (short, same round nail shape, not too thick, and very sparkly), she suggested the Cat’s Eye style, and I’m so glad she did. Watching the glitter move with the magnet was honestly so cool. I usually go for unicorn chrome, but now I have a new favorite. If you love chrome like I do, you’ll be really impressed with their color selection — way more options than the usual golds and unicorn shades. The salon has that cozy, small-business feel where you don’t feel rushed out the door. I came in around 6 pm and was seated right away, and everyone was friendly and welcoming. You can tell they care more about doing quality work and keeping clients happy than just getting through as many people as possible. I also loved the complimentary drinks, and they even validate parking in the garage. When you take the elevator to the first floor, the garage is attached to the location. The prices are very reasonable for the level of service you get, especially compared to other salons in the area. There’s also a Cupid’s Love Pedicure promo going on right now, which I’m planning to try next time with some friends. Teachers and students also get 15% off on Wednesdays, which is such a nice perk. As a teacher, it’s nice to be appreciated. I’ve already told coworkers, friends, and family about this place, and I’ll definitely be coming back. I can’t stop looking at my nails — and my students LOVE them too. Perfect timing for Valentine’s and Galentine’s plans! 💖

Francis, the owner, along with the staff, creates an exceptionally warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment you step into the salon. The space itself is thoughtfully designed—both aesthetically pleasing and impeccably clean. For my first visit, I opted for the Builder Gel full set ($70) with Mia, who delivered outstanding results. She paid great attention to detail, particularly with the shaping of my nails, and was highly attentive throughout the process. I especially appreciated that she took the time to clarify my preferences, ensuring the final result aligned exactly with what I had in mind. A few days later, I returned for the Milk & Honey Pedicure ($59), adding Shellac/Gel polish ($20), this time with April. The overall presentation was elegant, and the addition of a warm neck pillow was a thoughtful and relaxing touch. That said, the scent used during the service wasn’t quite to my liking, and I found the 12-minute hot stone massage slightly underwhelming, as it was not performed continuously. Overall, my experiences have been very positive, and I’m interested in exploring their other pedicure offerings. Based on these visits, I would confidently recommend this salon to friends in the area.

I absolutely love getting my nails done here! If you’re looking for a classy, well-established salon, this is the place. Everyone is so friendly and professional here. I highly recommend Ali to do your nails. She is meticulous and precise with her work and I couldn’t be any happier with my nails!

I love my nails done by Ali! She took her time to make sure each nail looks good. It’s so hard to find a nail tech that knows how to perfect their cat eye skills. This is my third time here and I think I can safely say that Ali is my nail tech of choice. Environment was relaxing, light and airy with high ceiling.

Shout out to my girl Ali, she literally saved my nails! Super nice staff their complementary Vietnamese coffee was bomb as well. Loved this place so much. Ali was amazing ✨ First picture is was I got somewhere else second picture is set that I actually wanted and Ali did that ✨🤘🏾 Thanks again!! …
