Mrose: ★★★★★

Today was my first visit, and I am so happy to have booked with Ms. Mindy! After experiencing her exceptional service, I'm certain I'll be returning. Ms. Mindy's dedication was evident as she meticulously worked on my nails, ensuring they were nothing short of perfect. Without a doubt, this is the best set I've ever received. I highly recommend her services and look forward to my next appointment!…

Luca Carlino: ★★★★★

MINDY WAS AMAZING! She did my partners nails both hands and feet. My partner got the Volcano Pedicure and the Gel X Full Set. Mindy is amazing and all of her work is consistent.

The staff is also so friendly! The receptionist, Sue, was very sweet. They brought us drinks and kept checking in on us.

WE WILL BE RETURNING!! …

michelle zuniga: ★★★★★

Drive down from Lake City because I heard great things about this place. My tech, Van, did not disappoint. He gave me a very natural look with a super cute design! I think I just found my new favorite place. It was well worth the drive!…

Tiffany Wilson: ★★★★★

Have been coming here for months and have used several techs! Love it! They always exceed expectations!! I get a new favorite tech every time I visit Eyebrow waxing is ALWAYS good too! All the techs impress me EVERY TIME!! I continue to be impressed Always gorgeous sets!…

Alina Sin: ★★★★★

Mindy is my girl!! These nails were the coolest nails I have ever gotten. She was so precise, even fixed a gel x nail when she noticed it was crooked. It came out beautifully and I will definitely be back again …

Jackee Robb: ★★★★★

John and Lani are amazing!!!

Upon entering the salon, you feel so welcomed by their kindness to the customers and their staff. It is just an added bonus that they do beautiful work, that also doesn’t chip or break, and lasts! I have never had my nails done so well, and I have been to a lot of salons in town trying to find the right fit! I am always very pleased with their work. John does my nails, but Lani is also so sweet and does beautiful work. I am so glad I found them!…

Alison McMurray: ★★★★★

I finally found my home for all things nails! If you have been looking for an amazing nail salon in Gainesville, then look no further; Lani and John and their staff at Lux won't let you down. My nails came out better than I imagined! Lani is a truly talented artist and I can’t wait to see what she will create next. Thank you Lani and John!…

Maria Gomez: ★★★★★

I am new in town and was trying to find a good nail salon. I came to see the reviews of this salon and everyone was pleased. Lani did my nails and I can honestly say nobody has taken the time to perfect my nails the way she did. I would give her 10 stars if I could. I was not scheduled for a pedicure, but as soon as I got done with my nails, I felt so comfortable in the environment that I was in that I got one and I do not regret that service either. Sophie did an amazing job and she’s super sweet. Her husband John was super friendly also. They will gain another regular client for sure! So pleased!…

Deborah Augustin: ★★★★★

Great service and great experience! I absolutely loved my nails. Lani went out of her way to make sure I was seen, even though their schedule was busy. Will definitely be back!…

Abby Bailey: ★★★★★

Went and saw Lani for the first time and was not disappointed! John said that the final product turns out better than the photos and he was not wrong. They turned out amazing! Everyone there is extremely friendly and kind. John’s sister has the best sense of humor and had me laughing the whole time. Overall, best experience I have had at a nail salon ever!…

Mercedes Williams: ★★

I started going here a little over a month ago and I went to John I loved the first 2 full sets he did for me. However, on my third visit I asked for my nails to be done like the first picture and the last three pics are what my nails looked like. I was not satisfied and I told him, instead of offering to fix it he said that’s what you asked for on the video you showed and walked off and gave the receipt to the clerk. I went ahead and paid and scheduled to come back the next day. When I arrived I asked to speak to a manager the clerk asked what happened I told her and she told me to have seat at station 6 John’s booth. He redid them and after he finished he told me next time I’ll have to find someone else to do my nails he won’t do them since he can’t do what I like. That really upset me and I felt it was rude. Not every single nail set a client is going to be happy with. I took the high road and said that’s fine cause after that I wasn’t going back to him anyway. But, it’s also bad for business makes me not want to come back to Cosmo again. I am going to reach out to the manager and let him know about my experience and John….

Tiffany McGee: ★★★★★

Omg amazing, best set I’ve ever had!! Got my nails done by Ken and he was very polite and understanding. The salon was very relaxing as well. Highly recommend!!…

Erika Walden: ★★

My appointment was at 10am this morning. This should NOT be happening at 3PM.This is literally just gel polish on my own nails. All I did was brush my finger up against my pants. I’m only giving 2 stars because my daughter’s nails turned out nice. This is only the SECOND TIME IN MY LIFE that I’ve ever gotten a “professional” manicure, and after what I paid I am so sad. I live in Macclenny so it’s not like I can just whip back up there. I came to visit my daughter and to have a nice girl’s day. At least she liked her nails. I don’t know how to fix this….

Connie Roberts: ★★★

My Mother's Day started great with my pedicure. The young man was very attentive and did an amazing job. I wish he could have done my nails. I was sent to another tech. The nail tech at chair #2 was awful! I showed him a couple of pictures of how I wanted my nails shaped, he was dismissive and inattentive. I had him reshape them and then he said well “Your nails are big”, I think he meant wide but it was still rude. I guess at this point he was getting impatient. The young lady checking in clients who came over and gave a suggestion to put rhinestones on my nails was also nice, and I think she was trying to make me feel better, he then said something quite aggressively in their language which made me uncomfortable. I was just ready to leave. Needless to say, my nails are uneven and he just didn’t do a good job at all. His client experience or satisfaction was not his top priority….

Kris: ★

I arrived on time for 1 pm appointment I booked online. Waited 15 minutes for him to finish previous customer. I have no issues with that. My issue is I sat in chair for ombre fill and pedicure. He was done with BOTH services by 2 pm. Started at 1:15pm. When I booked service. Both were to take 40- 45 minutes A SERVICE. It took him less than that for BOTH. Did not shape my nails to my request or give me color I asked for with pictures provided. Just a rush job. Now I am waiting to see if nails will lift or stay in take for 100 dollars I paid. First time to salon. Verdict still to be determined. Not impressed so far.

This was from survey after appointment… verdict in….NO BUENO!!! Will have nails redone tomorrow somewhere else. NAILS ARE LIFTING!! Just had them done at 1 pm today. Very disappointed! Glad I did not tip. Which I normally do. But something told me I was not going to be happy. First service and last. Place seems popular. Also would recommend dusting. Noticed cobwebs and dust on displays. New customer sitting in chair and look over and see that also red flag….

kathleen vanausdall: ★★★★★

Absolutely love coming here to get my nails done!! I’d much rather drive 2 hrs to this nail salon and now that my nails will look exactly how I want them to and at a great price. I couldn’t be more happy with my nails. Definitely recommend Bi Bi…

Caitlin S: ★★★★★

I got my nails done here for the first time with Ailynda and she did them very well! They’ve also lasted me about almost a month now. I’ll definitely be making another visit!…

Erica Blackegg: ★★★★★

I love Bellagio! They are a recent find, as my old nail salon closed. Such a difference! The quality of the services is top-notch! I always have a super relaxing pedicure and gel manicure, and they manage to make even my super short fingernails look chic. The environment is clean and uncluttered, spa-like and elegant for such quick and easy services. I have never had to make an appointment. Someday I will try the amazing nail art they do as a splurge. It looks crazy fun!! They are a little more expensive than the place I used to go but the quality of the services is more than worth it. Update! I did get to Kaitlyn for nail art, and it has been a lot of fun! See her fun Christmas art featuring Undersea Gal from the Nightmare Before Christmas and The Abominable Snowman!

See Kaitlyn’s Queen of the Damned blood drop nails! Super fun!…

Kristan Hegyi: ★★★★★

This was by far the best experience I’ve had at a nail salon in Gainesville. My nails were really bad off after not taking care of them properly. Kaitlyn at Bellagio did an AMAZING job taking care of me. From making sure she was easy with my nails and skin to slaying what I wanted!!! Thanks Kaitlyn, I love them!!!…

Julian Hermanson: ★★★★★

Dee was very nice and did a great job on my full set nails and pedicure. Will be coming back!…

Angie G: ★★★★★

I’ve been coming here for about 6 months and i’ve never left disappointed. Everyone is super friendly and the place overall is super clean. Hannah is the girl i go to every time and let me tell you she takes her time and makes sure that you’re satisfied. Great customer service. you really are getting your moneys worth….

Jill Brickman: ★★★★★

Ryan is the most incredible nail tech ever and literally always kills it!! I look forward to my nail appointments every time I go, highly recommend!!…

Elizabeth: ★★★★★

Vyvy does an excellent job! she does my nails every time I go, she shapes them so good and takes her time. I get builder gel on my natural nails…

Minion 400035wq q Rob111: ★★★★★

Pretty nails and spa is the best nail salon in Gainesville, Florida. I would even venture out to say the best in the state of Florida. Make sure you ask for Ryan when you come and make sure you get GelX nails they’re cleaner, healthier and your nails feel great!!!…

Kerri Tijerina: ★★★★★

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! I should have done a review sooner! They are kind of new.. I went in bc I was close and had just gotten my nails done somewhere else days before, and they were breaking already. So I went in for a nail repair.
I asked for tips, yet the tech asked if he could do it “a better way for MY NAILS?” I said of course. Well he built the nails out of acyclic and THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL! Still are almost 2 MONTHS later! I’m waiting on these to fall off to start a nail treatment on real nails(they haven’t even started cracking yet). But I WILL continue getting pedicures here until my nails are in better shape.
The pics are of later that day….

S N: ★★★★★

They’re the best!!! Lisa, Cindy, Mike, Kieu, Kenry, Annie, and Cody have done my nails and they are all amazing.
Cody is my bias. He’s very meticulous and the attention to details on sets is incredible. His pedicure will last you a month. All pics are Cody’s work. My friends and I can’t get our nails done at the same time bc we all need Cody to do our nails

If you want cutesy nails, go for Cindy. I’m always looking at her clients’ nails and the chrome she does is perfection!!

If you want to have good conversation and a good time, ask for Mike. He gives one of the best pedicures. His wife Kieu does all the designs. You can’t go wrong with this couple.

If you want a set of nails that won’t break, ask for Lisa. Her sets are rock solid! Literally you’ll crack the counter before you crack your nails….

Rebecca Wilson: ★★★★★

I am always very happy with my acrylic nails. They are not thick and chunky and look real. Lisa, Cindy & Cody are awesome!…

Kathrine Faenza: ★★★★★

I love this nail salon! I’ve been coming here for years. Everyone is very courteous and kind and wants to give you the exact design you want. Kieu’s designs are amazing! She is literally an artist and can do whatever you want. I also recommend Lisa and Mike as well….

Alison Sigalow: ★★★★★

Kieu is amazing! I’ve been going to her for almost a year and she slays every time. I always get compliments on my nails ever since I started coming to Phoenix Nails. Highly recommend!…

Bryn Parkyn: ★★★★★

Kieu did an amazing job on my manicure and pedicure! Hands down the best set I’ve ever gotten and the atmosphere is very relaxing. 10/10 would recommend this to any friend or family member!…

C Castillo: ★★★★★

Absolutely my favorite and most reasonably priced place in Gainesville. Henry does
great work if you’re looking for someone who does designs, pays attention to detail and such. Hi is the best for pedicures and gives good massages. They have great customer service, they try to work with you if you’re a walk-in as best they can. They offer you beverages etc. I moved here about a year ago and I’m picky about by my nail spots but I love this place overall and never had an issue….

Faye: ★★★★★

My gel pedicure was the best! The young guy who did my pedi was awesome! He gave the BEST foot massage! My gel yellow turned out great and it's lasted a month so far. I get pedis everywhere and this guy did the best yet. My new spot. …

Faith Smith: ★★★★★

Friendly staff, beautiful nails, and the most gentle but thorough pedicure I have ever had. My nails are almost identical to the inspiration picture. I love them!…

Joaney Herndon: ★★★★★

Advertise opening at 9:30am. Not true. However wasn’t long after that. Hi took really good care of me…. He did a Great pedicure. Prices were really good and not over priced. I will definitely be back!!…

Martha Stewart: ★★★★★

I looked up nail salons and Only Nails was the top suggestion due to my location as I live close by.. and it happens to be the best salon I've visited in town so far. I've tried out a few others when I couldn't get into Only Nails last minute and none of the other salons even came close to the experience I have at Only Nails. First of all, Only Nails doesn't make you put your phone number into a system upon walking in; the staff actually greet you and are very personable with you. Secondly, I've never seen Only Nails dirty! Always clean and comfortable! That's something I haven't found anywhere else in town so far. Thirdly, the prices are unbeatable for such a great service and experience. The staff have a very gentle hand and good eye to detail. The staff at only nails spend time on your service and don't rush through the process. Best leg/foot massage I've gotten from a nail salon was at Only Nails. Never too packed and loud, very nice environment and people here. Your first choice should be Only Nails. No other salon I've visited yet is as good as this one….

First, this place only has so many stars because they basically pay people to rate them. 5 stars= $5 off. Not that it will help much with the extreme prices they have. I wanted to get my nails done for vacation, I took a peice of my clothing with me to match a specific outfit. After choosing the color. The nail tech, Annie, was nearing the finish of the last gel coat (I only got gel over my natural nails that I had been growing out), it was time for the seal. Before she sealed, I had mentioned to Annie, who was my nail tech, that my polish was clumpy and goopy. She insisted that it wasn't and started speaking very fast in a different language. She called another tech over and I showed her my nails, she suggested to put sparkle over it and insisted that it was the color I picked out and not the slop job that Annie did. I decided to agreed to try the sparkle (which did not impove it by much). In anger, Annie grabbed the stand my hands were STILL resting on, resulting in them falling to the counter and continued to pack everything with haste shoving all of her equipment in her drawer and demanded that I sit and wait for someone else to do my nails. She expected me to wait AGAIN for someone to be able to finish my nails. Her frustration was evident. I understand that some times people have bad days, and I've never posted a reveiw like this, however I've also never been treated so badly/rude. I called the manager, Nathan, and left my number 3 times within the week, asking him to call me back so we may discuss this incident, however he never called back and was always unavailable. With as expensive as this place is, I expected more from my service. I've also gotten several mediocre pedicures from this place, but never complained, as I understand that they were short staffed and most of the people where new, but never blatantly rude like Annie was. I'll never go back here again. With the direction the world is going now, I'd rather work hard for a service that works hard for me….

Karina: ★

Worse experience ever. I asked for a manicure and gel extension. The technician did not give me a manicure whatsoever. She did not prep my hand and simply glued the faux nail to my unprepped nails. When I asked if she was going to take my cuticles off she responded with “yeah I file later” and she sure did. She files my skin raw. Three days later all my cuticle is still there and my nails look awful. It was the most painful nail experience ever. Do not recommend!…

I recently visited Azulene Nail Salon for a manicure and pedicure, and my experience was a mixed bag. Let's start with the positives: their pedicures are absolutely amazing. The attention to detail and the level of care they provide is top-notch. However, when it comes to manicures, particularly acrylic services, I was sorely disappointed. After leaving the salon and taking a closer look at my nails while sitting in my car, I was shocked by the poor quality of the acrylic application. It was evident that corners were cut, and the end result was far from satisfactory.
Dissatisfied with the outcome, I walked back into the salon to request a refund. They wouldn’t refund the $80 for the acrylic nails. Although they offered to fix my nails, I couldn't bring myself to trust them again after the initial disappointment. It's disappointing when a service falls short of expectations, especially when you're paying for quality.
On a side note, I initially requested a design for my nails, but the technician seemed uncomfortable with the idea, so I settled for a solid color with chrome instead. While this wasn't a major issue, it did contribute to the overall feeling of dissatisfaction with the experience.
In conclusion, while Azulene excels in pedicures, their manicure acrylic services leave much to be desired. Proceed with caution if you're considering getting your nails done here, especially if you have specific design preferences….

Gram: ★★★★★

Loved my experience today. Came in for my birthday to get a pedi and fill and was greeted pleasantly by Rose. She took amazing care of me from start to finish. Quick and efficient, knew exactly what design I was wanting. Love my nails and definitely will be coming back….

Angely Gomez: ★★★★★

I did my nails here and it was an amazing experience!! I did them with Rose, and she’s an amazing conversationalist, has a lot of experience and reallt cares that you leave happy with what you want. The vibes were immaculate and the customer service is super. Would come back again!!!…

Genesis Triplett: ★★★★★

Joseph did an amazing job on my nails, especially after I was nervous to try French tip. He made sure I was pleased throughout the entire experience which was much appreciated. I also got a pedicure by Jason and was very happy with the service. I’ll definitely be coming back thanks to the professionalism and great service!…

Kacie Meadows-Mazuir: ★★★★★

Awesome nails! They do a wonderful job! I love my feet too! They shape amazing and do what you actually ask for ! 10/10 highly recommend!

I come another time!! He do my toes and hands pink n white they are beautiful …

Erika Wienants: ★★★★★

I am sitting in my car to write the FABULOUS review this place so deserves.

When I discovered my nail person of 4 years had found a new trade- I was so sad. But after some research, I decided to give this place a try. I am so glad I did.

My pedicure was magnificent. The chair massage was was BEYOND needed and my toes look incredible.

Onto my nails. Joesph NAILED (lol) it. I am BEYOND happy with the services I got today. I will undoubtedly be back. You should go give them a try. I’m so glad I did!!…

Chloe: ★★★★★

Joseph did my nails better than expected !! I wouldn’t recommend anyone other than him he will never disappoint! These are my wedding nails & I couldn’t feel more like THAT girl

Also Jenny did my pedicure and I fell asleep that’s how great of a job she did! If you haven’t seen them yet you are definitely missing out

10/10 recommend!…

Qavia Lopez: ★★★★★

Joseph is great! He pays very close attention to detail, and I love how my nails turned out! He also does discounts and gives coupons often! The shop is very clean and cute as well!…

A S: ★★★★★

Rosie Allen is the best! We've been going to see her for almost two years now. She's great with kid's cuts as well as men's and women's. She's professional, kind, fun, and has actually become a good friend. The salon itself is lovely and professional. We have been pleased every time we have gone. No complaints….

Sara Beth Speziok: ★★★★★

I’ve had my hair colored at a fair few places, and every time it’s turned out just a little less cool/vivid than what I pictured in my head. Rose is the first stylist to get my hair to look WAY cooler than I even imagined it would be. I absolutely recommend her for both cuts and color, and the salon itself is very cute and welcoming :)…

Teresa Geer: ★★★★★

Claudia is the best! I have thick curly hair and she is the only one who I let cut my hair.
She's very professional and does an amazing job. Love her
Edited to add: I've known Anthony for years and during that time he's done an amazing job in coloring my hair. He's very kind, polite, and professional….

Alanna: ★★★★★

Rose did an amazing job coloring and styling my hair! It was my first time having my hair professionally colored; she was very attentive, kind, and nice throughout the whole process. I showed her a photo of the color I wanted and she did an excellent job matching it. I love my color and I would recommend Rose to anyone….

Sam Davis: ★★★★★

Every time I come in to get my hair styled, Rose Allen does such a phenomenal (“phenomenal” would actually be an understatement) job. She is fun, professional, and knows all these hair tricks that I never thought of before! If you’re looking for incredible service, this is the place to go….

Naomi Ellis: ★★

My friend recommended this place. I came in on Saturday at about 1pm. They got me in right away which was great. I paid for a manicure and a pedicure. I matched the gel polish to the dip powder (they do not match as closely as I thought they should but that’s not a huge issue, my toes are much darker than my fingers). It cost me $120, not counting the 20% tip I gave to her as well. Unfortunately by that night my right thumb nail broke. They’re closed on Sunday so I waited until they opened on Monday morning to come in. They said they didn’t have someone to fix it and it would be a thirty minute wait but after we agreed to wait they had the young lady who did my original set on Saturday fix my thumb. Now since I was just here a couple days ago I know how talented she is. I love this set. The color and shape are perfect. However she did not spend the same time and attention to detail this go around. My right thumb now is significantly thicker, darker, and even crooked especially compared to how symmetrical the rest of my set is. I offered to pay for the repair as I don’t believe anyone should work for free but was turned down. She made a comment while repairing my thumb that I should just do acrylics without the powder dip. That since my natural nails are short that’s why it broke. Please note I did not blame anyone for my broken nail neither did I expect free service to have it fixed. I know I’m not exactly a nail connoisseur however I’ve been getting my nails done consistently since the pandemic lifted restrictions. I’ve only had a nail break like this one time before and that was about a week after I had them done and at a different salon. This length is pretty normal for me and I’ve never had this issue. Regardless, my experience Saturday was wonderful which makes today so much more disappointing. I know she was capable of doing a much better job then what she did today and chose not too. Because of this I will be taking my business elsewhere. Included are pictures of my set and my repaired nail for a comparison. I apologize for the quality of photos as it does look worse in person….

Kate G: ★★★★★

I love coming here and so does my mother. I am a regular but I wanted to brag about my most recent experience. I had my nails done a couple days ago and something went wrong because my dip starting popping off. No worries though. I walked in and was immediately helped by Mimi who I must say is the sweetest person I've ever met. She talks to me almost the whole time which is comforting because I don't love silence sometimes. She didn't charge me to fix them even though I insisted so instead I got other services like my eyebrows and a pedicure done. I really enjoy coming here….

Mariana: ★★★★★

Great service, clean salon, Tony was amazing on my full set and made sure I loved them to, he kept making sure the shape was on point and if the length was good all the way to how thick I wanted the white tip, made me feel super secure with a nail tech! Will be returning for sure!!

Edit: came back for my Easter nails with Tony and he did not disappoint! Also got them longer this time!!…

Cassianne Stadler: ★

I had a poorly done manicure done here, uneven lengths, not filed straight, tips placed crooked, white flecks under the top coat, and very thick layers of polish. When I went back, the manager said she couldn’t do anything to help me….

Rebecca Hearton: ★★

I have had many great gel manicures here from various techs and my issue is not with the bad one i just received. My issue is when I showed it to the staff and that the polish didn't cover the whole nails and that it was globular in some areas, she tried to insist that it was satisfactory and that's just the way a gel polish look. Very nice people but don't like that they try to pass this as professional work. Unfortunately because of that I won't be coming back….

Shawntel Bather: ★★★★★

I had my nails done by Kevin today. He was easily able to replicate a design I wanted and did an excellent job. He also is very fast and efficient. I definitely will be back again …

Joanna Long: ★★★★★

Loved getting my nails done here! It is gorgeous inside, super spacious and fancy. I arrived a few minutes early for my appointment, but they still accommodated me. Tommy handled shaping and prepping my nails which was great, and Lynn painted them. After leaving, I realized I didn’t love the color. I went back in and they fixed it right away and did not charge me for it. Such nice people running a new nail spa; check it out! Also has a wine bar!…

Serena Fakhouri: ★★★★★

When I arrived I was kindly told that there would be a 20 minute wait and I was perfectly ok with that as the workers were very friendly. They asked me multiple times what I was getting done so that they wouldn't forget and do something else. Kevin ended up being my nail tech and he was super friendly. The first question he asked is if I had a picture of nails that I wanted done, if I wasn't in the army I would have had one but I didn't this time. He made conversation with me and was super polite, he even felt bad after he nicked me with the file but I was perfectly fine. He did clean the cut for me though which most nail salons wouldn't bother doing. He was very attentive as to what I wanted, shape, color, length etc. And was even very informative about the difference between acrylic and dip powder. He puts in the extra time to make sure the work is done right and doesn't rush at all. I would definitely recommend going to this nail salon but I highly recommend going to Kevin. The nail salon is very clean you watch them take the instruments out of the packaging so they are sterilized. If you are looking for a calming experience with workers who actually enjoy their jobs, go to Valentino's Salon….

Christina Davidow: ★★★★★

My daughters and I were visiting Gainesville and happily stumbled on Valentino’s Nail Salon. Lynn and all the staff were amazing! Squeaky clean, great nail talent, and a glass of wine to boot. We love Valentino’s!…

Meghan Bainbridge: ★★★★★

This place is great. Best massage chairs in town and lots of pedicure options. They did a great job on my wedding nails too! And you get a complimentary glass of wine. Good balance of service and price….

World Peace Deathray: ★★★★★

I have spent about $8000 here and not one penny came with regret. They have the most competent mower repair and best deals on used equipment from trailers to tractors. You will find everything you need. I consider Ken as my best friend in Marion county….

Cocc Bolcker: ★★★★★

10/10 for helping me with a fuse for my RV. 10/10 for the cutest employee there, Counter Cat, or CC. such a sweetie….

Daniella Silvestri: ★★★★★

These two gentlemen whose names I didn't get were the nicest people! I assume they were the named "Reddick Brothers" but they were absolutely wonderful! They both came outside to our vehicle in the pouring rain and helped us fix our windshield wiper, expecting nothing in return. It didn't take long but I don't think they understand just how incredible their act of kindness was and the impact they had on the rest of our trip (back to Canada). Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity 10/10 would recommend them as their kindness, professionalism, and customer service is absolutely incredible….

James Manley: ★★★★★

Great place, great people. Lots of used tools. They will barter for your used tools or just about anything–a neighbor traded a rooster for some tools! If you like tool stuff, you have to go there. They'll teach you how to use old handtools if you aren't sure about what you are buying….

Marshall Gray: ★★★★★

Local hardware store. Owned by real genuine people. They answer the phone, they'll help you find what you need. They fix mowers and stuff.
A little piece of Americana still doing well in Micanopy FL.
I use them, you should too….

Yao Fu: ★

NOT RECOMMENDED.Did a poor job. I made an appointment two days ago. Today, I received a call telling me to reschedule without any apology. The result looks nothing like the picture I showed her….

Anna Etherington: ★★★★★

My twin sister & I have been seeing Chelsey for 7 years! I've recently started doing fashion colour so I have to lift my hair. Through her knowledge & experience she is able to maintain the integrity of my hair so that is stays long. She's always educating herself on the latest trends & newest conventions of hair care. In fact she is so talented other stylists come to her for advice. Also, I never know what I want & she always helps me decide. I love her creativity & passion! I cannot recommend her enough! I do not trust anyone else w/ my hair!!…

Giavanna DiFede: ★★★★★

Went to Josette and she was amazing!!! Came in as a worn down blonde wanting to go brunette but still keep some dimension and she outdid herself! My hair came out feeling so much healthier and looks gorgeous. The before and after pictures say it all….

Christina Etherington: ★★★★★

This review is a LONG time coming. First, I have been seeing my stylist Chelsey for 7 years. I found her by chance when my hair was ruined at a diff salon. She literally saved my hair. Anyways, when she moved on from her previous salon, I followed her to Aveda and we couldn't be happier. The vibe is modern and fabulous, not to mention the products are amazing. But I really must highlight the service. If you are looking for a talented and professional stylist, this is the place to come. I highly recommend Chelsey, make sure to book in advance as she is in high demand. You should know that I love to lift & tone my hair and add fashion colors, which is hard on your hair regardless. If it weren't for Chelsey's expertise, I doubt I would have the hair that I want and love. I can't say enough great things about this salon. Just go! You'll love it! I always get SO many compliments on my hair!…

Jamie Heron: ★★★★★

Riley did an amazing job with my haircut! She was friendly and attentive, and she brought my hair back to life after a year without a trim. Highly recommend!…

Elizabeth Sofia Padron: ★★★★★

We had a fantastic time during our girls' nail day! It was our first visit here, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. You could tell they love what they do! Henry did my nail art meticulously, helping me choose colors that matched my desired look perfectly. He did an excellent job, taking his time with the design and checking in with me throughout to ensure I was happy with the progress.
My sister also had acrylics done by Henry and was very pleased with the high quality and how he accommodated all her preferences.
Mom thoroughly enjoyed her gel mani-pedi with Anna, especially the pedicure where Anna skillfully treated deep heel cracks painlessly and with great patience. Both my mom and my sister highly recommend the pedicure experience here.
The salon was clean, organized, and all instruments used to cut and push back cuticles were sterilized in a UV machine beforehand.
The pricing was very reasonable, and they also offer student discounts….

Terrible experience.
2 hours almost for a gel mani/pedi which you would think it good be good quality. The lady did the scrub so strongly on my legs that I had little cuts. I have a cut next to a cuticle from the filing, which i told her she hurt me, but smiled and kept going. All my gel nails are chipping from day 2. I do not recommend it at all….

I’ve been here few times and each time has been a great experience. The nail tech takes her time and is very detailed oriented. The gems we added at the last minute really made my flower design sparkle. I love my nails and couldn’t be more happy….

Maya Waintraub: ★★★★★

This is my favorite place to get my nails done!! Super friendly staff and they are eager to ensure you are happy. They offer you a beverage while you’re getting your nails done, it’s clean, and they do an amazing job. I went for a more simple look this time, white with chrome and 4 weeks later I’m still getting compliments every single day. They do an amazing job and I’m excited to go back!!…

Anna Patterson: ★★★★★

This is by far the best service I have ever experienced from a nail salon. The staff are detailed, very hospitable and friendly. They genuinely care for their customers and make them feel appreciated. I can’t wait to go back to be pampered. Thank you for your amazing customer service….

Dayana Georgieva: ★★★★★

Fantastic service! I was looking for a keratin treatment that will solve my frizzy Florida hair problems, and upon doing some research I found this salon. It was easy to make an appointment and their Cezanne Smoothing Treatment seemed like a good choice for my hair. The staff were welcoming and the salon was clean and organized. Brittany was very friendly and did a fantastic job with my hair! She even took before and after pictures for me. I am so so happy with the final result and this salon. For my long hair I paid $260 before tipping; which I already expected since the staff were transparent about how much it would cost for various hair lengths. The only confusing part was finding the parking garage, which the front desk easily directed me to over the phone. Will definitely be coming back here!…

Cynthia Portalatin (Cynthia Rose): ★★★★★

Kyle has wonderfully positive, healing energy. I highly recommend his massages. He is very skilled in technique and I felt comfortable with him. Everyone I met in the salon was super nice. There is free parking on the first floor of the garage which is kind of behind the salon… was a little tricky to find, but thankfully Blue Gill restaurant had a street level sign that helped me find it. Beautiful jewelry for sale by a local artist. And the salon has all Aveda products so it smelled wonderful. I booked my next massage already!…

Fox Hound: ★★★★★

Molly was amazing! She did exactly what I wanted and my hair was so bad before but she took care of me and made my experience super nice and would totally recommend her! Loved my experience and left with a smile everyone loves how my hair turned out so I’d say success!! Thank you!…

Jennelle Jacquay: ★★★★★

Calla was fantastic! She was personable and easy to talk to, but what impressed me the most was her knowledge of the products and how they actually work. She worked magic on a previous hairstyle that fried my hair. My damaged, red hair feels extremely healthy and happy again. I look forward to continuing to see her!…

Maya M.: ★★★★★

I had the pleasure of visiting Avant Garde Salon for a haircut and blow dry with Candice, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. Candice truly has a talent for styling, and she transformed my hair into something amazing. The cut was precise and flattering, perfectly tailored to my preferences and face shape. The blow-dry added the perfect finishing touch, leaving my hair looking great.

The atmosphere was welcoming and professional, making the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend Candice to anyone looking for a fantastic haircut and style. I'll definitely be returning for my future hair needs and recommending Candice to friends and family….

Shantela Williams: ★★★★★

I believe this is my sixth visit, I’m so glad I gave them a try! The facility is clean, they have a great selection of colors, and all but one time I was able to be immediately seated for service. My gel manicures and pedicures are consistently amazing! I feel like I’m receiving actual nail care (my cuticles are nice and smooth & my nails are strong). Even when I needed to wait 4 weeks my gel remained intact! Wish I had taken other pictures but will upload my recent set from yesterday. Mrs. Holly is my go to but I have had a positive experience with others as well….

Mandy Stewart: ★★

I’m giving two stars because my nails have actually stayed on! I had a certain thing I wanted done! They were good to help me find the exact color I wanted. After that it just went downhill and I was super bummed about it! The guy that did my nails took an hour and they weren’t done perfectly how I am use to. Halfway through he either got a phone call or made a phone call and through the rest of my mani he was on FaceTime with someone. He only put clear polish on my left hand and not my right! As I read a review also they were charged 60 as well! I was told it was going to be $40 and I left a $5 tip and I just checked my card and there was $60 charged! I will not be going back to this nail salon again! The first two are of my nails and the last is what I asked for!…

Sofia Moller: ★★★★★

I just recently went to New York Nails and I was so satisfied. I hadn't found a place here in Gainesville that I could rely on for quality or price but after visiting here, I found my favorite and I know I will be a regular here. Johnny did an amazing job repairing my acrylics and the staff was extremely friendly. Prices were very fair and quality was great. Overall, I'm so happy with the results!…

Kenisha Jones-Thomas: ★★★★★

I've been coming here for five years. Michael , his wife, and the other lady always do an awesome job on my nails, pedicures, and eyebrows…

Rachel Wilkes: ★★★★★

Johnny was great!! Got a mani pedi today for my birthday. Very relaxing and great nails. I got my mani just a buff shine because I always chip nail polish. I have also gotten pedicures by different girls there in the past and it has always been great. It is busy usually but I think that is because they are awesome! And it's not too busy to be loud or anything….

Duo Chen: ★★★★★

Jenni is the best nail tech on this planet! I am very picky about my nails, but I have been going to see Jenni every two weeks for the past 3 years. I have to be very loyal to her as she is the only person in Gainesville who is able to meet all my standards(I know I expect a lot). She can do a lot of complicated designs and always pays attention to all details. She also does pedicures and brow waxing. Go! See! Her! If! You! Want! Pretty! Nails!…

Shirlye Serrano: ★★★★★

I love this place so much, been coming here for years, highly recommended, love the way how everyone are so kind and loving people as they work as a team helping each other. Thank again guys you all are great …

Tammy Armstrong: ★★★★★

Love my nails and toes! Also my brow wax done well! Excellent work. The manager had a very sweet disposition! I definitely recommend this salon!…

Tina Freeman: ★★★★★

Adriana gave me an amazing pedicure. I recently had a toe injury where I lost the nail of my big toe. I had prom coming up and was self conscious about it. Adriana sculpted what looked like a new toenail out of gel, and it looked fabulous! Thanks Adriana!…

Korrie Harmon Schaeffer: ★★★★★

I get my nails done by Chandra every two weeks. When she does them, they never lift or chip or peel. She cares and does good work. She takes longer, but that's because she makes sure it's done right!…

Sara Russ (Sara Lee): ★★★

Went for a pedicure and requested the paraffin pedi with gel polish. The tech was nice, but I assume she forgot I asked for it because I got callus removal and the basic pedicure without even having lotion or any scrub, etc prior to her painting them. Only once this was done did I mention something and she proceeded to do the socks, lotion and towel. In all salons I’ve visited prior this was done prior to the polish but I again assume she forgot the pedicure I had requested. Even if I did not remind her, I still got a very basic pedicure with little effort. I was also charged an additional 15$ for gel, which is not a big deal but is not clear when advertising the pedicures they offer. Not sure if I just had a weird experience; the overall pricing isn’t bad for additional services compared to higher end salons but I’d try them again. Quality of the paint is decent and again she was very nice….

I went in for a new set and pedicure 9 days ago, and yesterday my middle nail snapped off. I wouldn’t have returned but since i called and they said they would fix it for free, i did. Today i went in and got it “fixed” but the nail looks awful. The woman did not put any pink under the white so you can see through my nails (my other nails had the pink) and she put way too much white and it was a different shape. I would of been fine with it since i could deal with a weird looking nail for a week until i get them redone (at a different place) but when i went to leave, they said it would be 8 dollars. I informed the front desk person that I was told on the phone it would be free, and he said because of the length of my nails, it would be 8 dollars. i paid for the length of my nails when i got the full set only 9 days ago when i paid 130 dollars for a mani pedi. I would understand if it broke off from a fill because nails get old and weathered so they need to be replaced, but before i got them done i did not have acrylics on at all, so after only 9 days, it should not have snapped off (so easily as well) edit: the top coat she put on my nails today is peeling off as well, including on the new nail)…

Emily Blagg: ★

I made an appointment a week in advance and I was completely an obvious inconvenience. When i checked in I confirmed I needed a fill and a pedicure. My fill is horrible. The acrylic is bumpy, nothing is filed consistently, and the color is missing from the sides. I asked for OPI bubble bath and she did white? I asked if she was doing bubble bath and she said yes but it’s clearly not bubble bath. To top it all off they completely forgot about a pedicure so I left….

Korrie Harmon Schaeffer: ★★★★★

Today I had my fill and gel done by Julie. Julie was super thorough and sweet. She took her time and made the polish was even and fully pigmented!

Her son, Jason, did my pedi a couple weeks ago. Again, super thorough and attentive. Jason fixed the numerous issues I had with my toes and put on the polish perfectly. Usually my polish comes off my toes same day, but Jason did such a good job, it's all still there – no lifting or chipping.

Great experience with this dynamic duo! …

Savy B: ★

DO NOT COME HERE ! I came for wax and full set. She left part of my eyebrow uneven also not to mention butchered my nails! I asked for short nails but not this short and even told her they were way too short. I pointed out that she missed a lot of areas with the white paint and she stated she fixed it (she didn’t). She cut me multiple times to pay as much money as I did and asked for it to be fixed I’m just in shock on how they don’t care for their customers happiness. I have engagement photos this weekend and now I’ll have cut up nails, horrible painting job, super super short ugly nails. Not to mention I hope someone can fix my eyebrows in time. Like I stated DO NOT COME HERE. They give away stuff for reviews no wonder they have so many “good reviews”…

Kristin Soulliere: ★★★★★

I am never disappointed with my experience here. Rilee has done my highlights for several months now and I am happier than I have ever been with my hair. She is super talented and I would recommend her to anyone looking to have their blonde hair taken care of….

eva: ★★★★★

I went to a stylist in town to get my hair color corrected, and she did a remover to get some green and brown out and then referred me to Beach Break because she didn’t have availability until late july-early august to do the rest (she also said even if i did book with her late july-early august to do the rest it would take awhile, many appointments over a long time span and a lot of patience). I’m glad i came here because Rilee is awesome and she was able to double book me soon after and lift my hair to this blonde in just one appointment, I didn’t know how many it was going to take to get to. Only one more until i get my desired color and i can’t wait! My last stylist told me it would be at least 4 appointments after the remover, but now i only need one more! I definitely reccomend rilee. She does a great job and she is also very sweet and reassuring….

Amanda Baskott: ★★★★★

I have been a loyal Beach Break client for well over a decade. I consistently get highlights and a hair cut every 6-8 weeks. I always look forward to every service I have there and constantly get compliments on my hair color. Natasha is an amazing stylist and makes me truly feel my best. I would not trust my hair any where else. 10/10!…

Catherine Gould: ★★★★★

Lindsey was wonderful! She took such great care of my hair and made effortless conversation. I love the cut and style she suggested and the prices are very fair. I think I have found my go-to hair place…

Alexi Bell: ★★★★★

I recently moved to the city and I asked around to try to find a hair stylist who could handle my brassy blonde. A friend of a friend let me know about Beach Break Salon and said Rilee was the BEST. 1 year later, 4 highlights later – I can only agree Rilee has great attention to detail, listens to all my concerns, uses Olaplex in the foils to keep the hydration, and even allows me to take a work call from the chair. My hair has never looked healthier! It’s not a quick in and out salon as they don’t use heat dryers to speed up the lightening process, but I actually enough that portion. If you’ve got the time and are looking for a blonde expert, Rilee is your girl….
