About

Alpha Nail Spa sits in a Columbia shopping area and is open Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 7 pm and Sunday from 11 am to 5 pm. Appointments are made by calling ahead at 803-708-0108. The salon says the space feels open, clean, friendly and calm, and it offers complimentary water and soft drinks while you wait.

The menu is broad. Nail enhancements include fills and full sets in acrylic, gel, dipping powder and ombre finishes, plus solar pink and white options. Manicures range from a classic service to a deluxe version with an aloe vera mask, hot towel and paraffin treatment. Pedicures run from a standard ALPHA Pedicure up to spa services in a VIP room, including a volcano-style pedicure with a detox soak and collagen mask, and a chemical-free herbal healing pedicure built on essential oils and a hot stone massage.

Clients can add services such as nail repair, French or color tips, soak-off, paraffin wax, two-nail art and gel polish removal. A kids menu offers polish changes, manicures and pedicures for children aged 3 to 12. Waxing covers the face, underarms, arms, legs, bikini and Brazilian areas, and eyebrow tinting is also available.

Group visits are offered Monday to Thursday, and the salon gives a 5 percent discount on special events of 10 or more people, such as bridal parties, birthdays and graduations. Guests 21 and older with ID may have one complimentary glass of white or red wine or a mimosa. Cash and card payments are accepted. Prices may change without notice, and extra charges can apply for added length or special shapes.

The salon's routine is built around sanitation. Technicians follow strict sanitation standards, buffers and files are used once and then thrown away, paraffin is never reused between clients, and every pedicure is done with liner protection.

The space feels open, tidy, friendly and calm.
