We hosted a small neighborhood gathering at Nailed It and had an excellent time! Michelle and Aisha were so helpful and entertaining. We all loved our pieces! I went back a few days later with my kids to paint eggs and they had a blast! Michelle was so patient with my 7yo and 5yo and didn't mind us taking our time. We can't wait to host more events there!

So much fun for a group event! We were able to pick our own projects (lots of options for sizes, styles and price). The staff was amazing! Super helpful but also not too helpful, you really do all the work they just help with tips and tricks. I can’t wait to go back! 🥰

We had a great experience with getting Take and Make craft kits for a birthday party for teen girls. It was a hit with the birthday girl and her friends! Michelle was very helpful and communicative. She even created a special design for my daughter. Highly recommend for an affordable birthday activity!

We had a great time making two projects! The Yardz game is a fun one for the summer ahead. Can’t wait to put flowers in my planter. Michelle was helpful in giving instructions and choosing colors. She has a wonderful customer first approach. Great date night and could be a fun place to have a party. Pick a project and nail it!

We hosted a birthday party for my 12 yo daughter at Nailed It DIY Durham and it was a fantastic experience. She and her friends had a lot of fun and the projects turned out beautifully. Booking and planning was super easy - Michelle was very communicative and organized. Now I want to come back with my friends. Highly recommend!
