I absolutely love this salon. I've gone to so many in the past where you really don't feel welcome. The staff at this salon make you feel like a member of the family. Every nail tech focuses completely on you, getting to know you and building excellent rapport. Sara suggested a simple but classy French manicure and a neutral tone for my pedicure. I was pampered and felt taken care of after I left. I finally found MY nail salon and I will definitely return.

I have written Google reviews and always try to be as honest as possible. If someone is good, I will tell you. If someone is not, I will tell you.
I am 78 years old and I have had my nails done by many different people in many different locations. Recently, I was fortunate enough to find Nina.
Nina is a very sweet, quiet girl who focuses on her work. Her attention to detail is phenomenal. And she’s a perfectionist. If something doesn’t look quite right, she will go back and correct it. You will not leave that Salon until both you and she is satisfied with her work. Her prices are competitive with everyone else in the area, but her work exceeds anyone I have...read full review

When I review a business, service, or product, I try to be as honest as possible. In today's world, honesty means a lot. I am here to tell you how pleased I am with the acrylic manicure that I received at Nails First. It was my good fortune to find Nina. Nina is a perfectionist. and she won't stop until both you and she are satisfied. I have had many manicures in my life, and I can say with great sincerity that this may be the best I have ever received. Nina's prices are about the same as everyone else in Mechanicsburg. I found a few more expensive. But I guarantee that no one will do a better job or be more committed to giving you exactly what you want. And the hours are great. First Nails is an appropriate name and I recommend you go there first! It is located on Main Street, Mechanicsburg, with parking in the rear. On street parking may also be available. Nina is a sweet, quiet, and focused girl who will not try to find out your life history. I feel very fortunate to have found her.
