Forever Nail & Spa

Ghent

Forever Nail & Spa in Ghent has one of the largest review bases in this guide at over 650, and it’s built that volume on a genuinely wide roster of individually-named, individually-praised technicians rather than the reputation resting on just one or two people.

Michelle comes up perhaps most often, with one reviewer specifically saying she’s the only person they trust with their nails, describing how she takes a reference style and consistently makes it look even better in person than in the photo. Another long-term customer described coming for five years and always recommending the salon to others.

Crystal (spelled Krystal in a couple of reviews) gets similarly specific, repeated praise, including one especially notable account: a customer described a six-month journey where Crystal helped heal a broken toenail, ending with it fully healed and looking good — a specific outcome that points to real nail-health attentiveness rather than purely cosmetic service.

Shelly Nguyen and Mimi both get individual mentions too — Shelly for a first-time customer who was told to simply trust the process and came away extremely happy, and Mimi specifically requested by name for nail art and eyebrow combination appointments.

The salon’s walk-in policy comes up as a specific practical advantage. One reviewer, who works in healthcare, specifically noted how helpful it is to be able to walk in given their unpredictable schedule, describing a relaxing pedicure with calming spa-style music playing during the service.

Cleanliness and professionalism get consistent mention as well — reviewers describe the space and staff as clean and professional across visits spanning years, not just a single good appointment. Several reviews are also business responses thanking customers by name for their feedback, suggesting active, engaged salon management paying attention to its reviews.

That said, one review describes a specific negative experience worth including honestly: a customer who had previously gotten a full set and returned for fills asked for a simple $25 soak-off, and described the technician trying to rip the acrylics off forcefully rather than soaking them off properly, resulting in a damaged thumbnail. It’s the one clearly negative account in an otherwise strongly positive, large review base, but worth knowing about specifically for that type of removal service.

Pricing is described by one first-time customer as “pretty affordable,” though specific numbers aren’t listed consistently. Given the volume of specific, named-technician praise here — genuinely one of the more detailed and individually-attributed review sets in this guide — Forever Nail & Spa reads as a strong, well-established choice, particularly for full sets and eyebrow work, with the one soak-off complaint worth flagging if that’s specifically the service you’re booking.

It’s also worth noting how this salon compares to some of the other Ghent studios covered elsewhere in this guide — while smaller operations like Liazon Studio or SVS Nail Studio depend entirely on one technician’s schedule, Forever Nail & Spa’s larger, more established staff roster means a preferred technician being booked up doesn’t necessarily mean waiting weeks for the next available slot. That trade-off, a bigger team versus a single dedicated specialist, is one worth weighing based on whether you’re looking for maximum scheduling flexibility or the tightest possible relationship with one person.

Given the sheer number of individually-named, independently-praised technicians here, asking the salon directly which of its staff specializes in the specific service you want is a reasonable step before booking.

The scale of this salon’s review base — built up over what multiple reviewers describe as several years of consistent visits — also suggests a level of operational consistency that smaller, newer salons in this guide simply haven’t had time to establish yet.
