Alyssa Montgomery: ★★★★★

I have been coming here for years and they have never let me down. Any time I have a special nail request they always meet and exceed my expectations and I have never loved a nail salon more!…

Leilani Heisler: ★★★★★

I can see why this salon is rated high in town. I don't get my nails done often, but I got a pedicure. The wait wasn't too long, the space was clean and the atmosphere was relaxing. The price was also good for a pedi and massage. The owners and the young lady who did my nails were super kind. She did a great job painting them! Will definitely consider coming back in the future. :)…

Maya Gadomski: ★★★★★

This place had wonderful service. Very kind people. They took their time perfecting the shape and nail design. Definitely felt the spa experience. 10/10….

Ruth Burbank: ★★★★★

Always nice, they do great job, I usually have Chtis do my hands and eyebrows, the ladies are great, and even though they don't advertise, they will do almost any design you bring the pictures, they got you….

I love this place. Their service is always consistent! I broke a nail a week after having them done and stopped by to have them fix the one broken nail and the technician not only fixed the broken nail she also gave me a fresh top coat at no cost! I was just there and couldn’t decide on a color and went with pink and whites, powder dip manicure!!! I didn’t even know how that was going to work but she did an amazing job! So good I was asked if these are my natural nails when I got to my office. ☺️ These are my nails no acrylics just a really great manicure! Highly recommend this place! 💕…

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 ☺️…

Renee Alderman: ★★★

I go as a treat every 6 weeks or so. I like dip and gel. Nothing special. Maybe I'm old-school, but there was a time when you were not rushed in and out as fast as possible. Manicure included cuticles, shaping, gently filing taking care of nails beds and sides, lotions and pleasant service. The last time I was there I received rushed and rude treatment as if I was a burden. The Manicurist had a filthy station with someone else's nail clippings and filings and used the same dirty towel. I should have stuck up for it myself stopping her. But I didn't. The whole time I'm worried about infection. She did nick my cuticle which bled. So this place can't really call it a spa treatment . Try somewhere else….

Ryann: ★★★★★

My mom, sister & I have been going to Nails 1st by Ken for YEARS. Everyone is very accommodating and we have had no issues! We always get compliments on our nails as well. Could not recommend them enough!…

Sheila Lawrence: ★

Go here 2 to 3 times per month for nails , pedicures and facial waxing. Today was horrible service with the waxing as the technician got wax in both sides of my hair with no attempt to apologize for the poor job and even denied doing. The manger failed to offer anything to make up for this poor job not even to say they were sorry that it happened and charged me full price for everything!
Would love to hear from the owner concerning this matter ….

Marcell Hodge: ★★

I’ve never seen or been treated like this. I was her last Tuesday and pay $50 for fill and special treatment of nail polish called Cat eyes then by Friday night it was peeling !! They was closed on Monday and could not get here so I came in today on Tuesday now I have been sitting here waiting for over an hour because I’ve already paid and I want them to fix their mistake of nail polish. They have took 3 to 4 other people in front of me that was walk ins and I am still sitting here waiting. What a way to treat your customer, right !!! I see it as take the money and run, huh? Hi Cal, that very unprofessional and don’t really care a rats potato about the customer. It’s about make the money get out your face. See you when you come back and really don’t care if you come back.!!!!…

Jessica Thompson: ★★★★★

Perfection every time. This place is pricier than what I’m used to but very worth every dime. Always nice and always do my nails how I ask….

Eva Del Valle: ★★

Overpriced! I went in for dip. I have never paid over $45 for dip unless I got something extra or my nails were longer. My regular go-to nail salon has gotten worse, so I decided to go back here because I used to a while back. I am not sure how long this will last. The dip was not done how I am used to (dipping in the powder) but was done with an acrylic brush and only 1 layer. No cleaning of the nail area or anything extra was done. My nails are short and they were already shaped so he did not have to do any of that. When I checked out Rose told me it was $65😱. When I questioned it she got an attitude and said you have not been here a long time ago, as in justifying the charge. To make matter worse, she rang me up and the receipt said 66.30, so I asked about that. With an attitude, she said "2% charge if you would have paid cash no fee". Why didn't she tell me that before?
All they did was put one layer of dip powder with acrylic brush, one layer of clear and two 30 sec session under the light. That's it!!! I am not coming back. I love getting my nails done, but I am sick of the lack of customer service and hidden prices. No where on the chart is there dip and the only thing on the chart at that price was pink and white gel!!! I truly believe she just made up that price when she charged me. What a shame!! My nails look fine but I don't care how good of a job you do when you lack care for your customers and have an attitude just cause you can, I will not spend my money at your business….

Mackenzie Weimer: ★★★★★

Rose and her staff were very accommodating for a walk in at 5:30pm. They did my nails so beautifully and listened to what I wanted. Would highly recommend!…

Samantha Young: ★★★★★

I’ve been coming here to miss Helen for a long time and not once have i left disappointed she always slays my nails eyebrows and pedicure’s. This is the only nail salon that I enjoy coming to and returning too❤️❤️❤️…

Alex: ★★★★★

Kevin has done my nails twice and both times the price has been the same with lasting results! They are hardworking, kind, and never have they seemed pushy. They also spend time getting to know their clients and the atmosphere for me has been very friendly. Definitely reccomend!…

Kristi Booth: ★★★★★

Rose did an amazing job on my full set! Price was comparable, and I was taken right away. I do recommend having an appointment if you go on a Sunday; it gets busy very quickly!…

Dede Kay: ★

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!!!…

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!…

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!…

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….

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….

AGTV Allison: ★

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”…

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!…

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….

Nikki Lagree: ★★★★★

First time customer and beyond satisfied.

First time visit due to an emergency of one of my nails needing to be taken off. Searched nail salon near 13th st closed at 6pm because i was returning into town from GA and this is one of the few that was open late.

I’m very happy with the services and Katelynn was very honest about the condition of my nails and kind to do a style i requested without hesitation. Very gentle and took her time even though i came after 5pm. I will be returning. Thank you Katelyn…

Ajsha Cannon: ★★★★★

Had an appointment with KD for soak off and full set. No wait time. Excellent service. I provided photo of inspiration from (Eryn nailtech). I was very pleased with my design. I also received eye brow wax as well….

Lana Bautista: ★★★★★

I am super happy with how my nails came out after visiting IQ nails. This is the second time I have visited and have been very pleased both times. The design done by KD came out great and I will definitely be booking my next appointment with her!…

Abigail Dowsey: ★

I got a manicure and pedicure here because my friend wanted to come here because it is closer. Given my nails look nice. BUT it was so rushed and I did not appreciate that. The atmosphere of the place was clean and respectful but it was odd and the workers weren’t very good at communicating with the customer. A basic pedicure is $30 they charged me $45 at checkout and my nails a full set of acrylics is supposed to be $40 they charged me $55. I understand taxes but when I got my receipt they didn’t show me what exactly I paid for. That bugs me because I feel overcharged. Given I would not care if they were a little less rushed and there was more respect for the customer. They overcharged my friend as well. Nails are cute for rushed work….

Emily Minteer: ★

I made an appointment online and chose the artist I had seen recommended most, but once I arrived, though she was free, I was told “anyone can do that” so was assigned to another technician. I said that was fine, and proceeded to have my service with him. He was very nice, but made 5 of my fingers bleed during the process, and didn’t use any kind of styptic or even acknowledge the multiple spots of blood. He barely wiped them away, and carried on leaving large dried blood spots on half of my fingers. The attention to detail for cuticle work and the shape of the nail (not the soft square, but the uneven bulkiness of the dip on top) ensures I don’t plan on coming back. I came home and washed off dried blood, but am still sore on those fingers. The space is beautiful and seems clean, but my experience left much to be desired for me. Attached photo is just one hand to demonstrate what I left with.

Edited to add – I called the store as instructed and spoke to the manager, who didn’t actually discuss any of the issues I experienced, only heard I was calling in regards to a review and said she’d fix the nails if I come in and then instructed me to change my review. However, if we had actually had any discussion, it would be clear that my cuticles need time to heal before having more work done. I appreciate that there’s not much more than can be offered to me, of course, but the conversation felt dismissive and disingenuous. I can’t imagine feeling comfortable returning here.

Further edited to add – as my nails have been breaking and coming off, I’m seeing how deep he went near the cuticle – far too deep, and now I have uneven nails to grow back. Do not go here!…

I’m new to the area and started going to this salon about 3 months ago. Inside is beautiful, clean and the staff is super friendly and accommodating. They’re always able to fit me in the schedule even last minute and they have a fine attention to detail. I’m very picky about my nails/toes and this place goes above and beyond. I will absolutely be returning. I highly recommend….

I’ve followed Helen for the last 15 years around multiple cities. I am very picky when it comes to my nails, and she kills it every time. Lately, I’ve been telling her to do whatever and she never lets me down. She is also great at designs or getting as close as she can to something you find online. I come 30 minutes out of my way to see her. Her and the other staff are always friendly and they try their hardest to remember your name. I also recommend her for eyebrow waxing. Although I have ventured out (because lack of time) on my nails, I will never venture out for my eyebrows. One wrong swipe, and you’re a completely different person 😆….

Love this place! My tech was so quick and careful with my nails and they came out beautiful. I love how she and her coworker made my friends and I comfortable in their salon. I will DEFINITELY be coming back 🫶🏾…

Sarah Manders-Hughes: ★★★★★

I had the best pedicure of my life today. She took her time on every thing including my leg and foot massage. I did not feel like I was being rushed out like at other places. Thank you MN Nail & Spa for a great and relaxing experience…

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….

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….

Casyn Mills: ★★★★★

I received a 20% off birthday gift and Brian performed my deluxe pedicure! He was so amazing, he accommodated me and made me feel so comfortable. He was so sweet and talked to me the whole time and we made great conversations. I will be booking my mani and pedis with him from now on! Thank you!…

Brooke Duenas: ★

i’ve been here maybe 3 times. the first time was horrible and i decided maybe i should see the owner herself and maybe id like the outcome. each time i’ve had to go home and file them myself to make them “acceptable” but this timmeeeeee really set the icing on the cake. i asked for a VERY simple color and shape. (extra square) and this is what i got. the last picture was after i left and fixed them myself.. disappointing to say the least especially since this was a $70 set. i asked her why they looked curve bc i didn’t ask for
curved nails and her response was “the longer you want more curve you’re gonna have” i’ve been getting my nails done for years and that’s A FIRST. then i asked more then ONCE to please even out the edges and make them less bumpy. needless to say, i will NEVER be going back……

Men’s pedicures are $50. No one tells you this until you check out, even though I was shown a menu and asked what type of pedicure I want. I chose the regular/basic, which was $35. I got a great pedicure from Thomas, who was honestly super nice and did a great job. Sadly, when I went to pay, I was told the total was $50, and received no explanation as to why from the manager. When I inquired, she dismissed me saying ‘men’s pedicures are $50’ and when I asked why that wasn’t in the menu, she said ‘yeah it’s not in the menu, but that’s the price.’

I have no issue paying the $50, but this be disclosed when you select what price/option you want. It also could’ve addressed when I was asked what type of pedicure I wanted. But instead they waited until after the services were performed to then upcharge, which is just shady.

It’s too bad, I really liked the pedicure I got….

Tiffany Hope: ★★★★★

Super clean! Amazing salon with endless color options! I went with classic French gel pedi and My did my eyebrows and they are perfect, as always. I have been going to My for 10+ years. She is the absolute best! Great shop, customer service, quality, and cleanliness! Thank you My and Jackie!!!…

Stephanie Roberts: ★★★★★

One of my students in my class told me about this shop .. her mother is the owner, this was my first time in this nail shop it was beautiful. The atmosphere was so peaceful and relaxing and the staff was very kind and listened to my needs and made sure they were met. Kenny was my nail tech / pedicure specialist.. he took his time and made me feel very comfortable and relaxed while I received my pedicure..Not one nick on my cuticles (which is the first time that has ever happened to me)! I have definitely found a new shop for my nails. There were multiple people getting pedicures at the time as well. They had disposable bags in each of the foot tubs. I loved the assortment of music they played as well, some country, hip hop, alternative, 80s, literally something for everyone! Overall I had a wonderful experience and I will be going back .. this is now my new nail shop….

Roseanne Powell: ★★

I went here with a friend a little over a week ago for a pedicure and a fill. The polish on my nails is already chipping (one actually chipped off 3 days after visit). There were several issues with our visit:
This is not my regular salon but my friend wanted to try them out again. Since she had made appointments two weeks in advance you would think they would be properly staffed. Usually when you make an appointment the salon should try their best to accommodate you to be seen together. At the very least for the pedicures. Instead I watched her get her nails done, then she went for her pedicure. Since my nails took longer my friend sat and watched me for 30 minutes after her pedicure. The other odd thing is Tracy was half way done with my nails then moved me to the pedicure chair. When done with my pedicure she then finished my nails by having me turn awkwardly while she attempted to do my nails while I sat in the pedicure chair (perhaps this is why they are chipping already). When my friend went to have her pedicure the gentleman didn’t even ask her what kind she wanted and gave her the standard pedicure (when she would have preferred one with a scrub and wax).
To me, going to the salon is having the “experience” of being pampered. Instead, it felt like we were being rushed through, as they kept getting up and down to do other things.
If you have appointments scheduled then have proper staffing. Don’t make your customers feel like they are a bother.
I will not return to this spa. I have been a loyal client at Love Nails in the Oaks Mall plaza and will return there to have my nails redone properly. Hannah and her staff are polite, personable and you never feel rushed. I only went here because my friend treated me and she picked this salon. I feel she should be given a refund for my nails, as this was not quality work. An acrylic fill should last a minimum of 4 weeks if not longer….

shoutout to my girl Diamond!🤍
Came in for my birthday set and she did her thing, of course. Every time I go in, i’m a little indecisive, but she always finds a way to make my nails look beautiful! She also makes me feel so comfortable whenever I’m in there, love that. 10/10 would go back again. Sit with my girl Diamond y’all🙂‍↕️…

Jennifer Hughes: ★

I would give a zero if Google would allow. This was the worst experience I've had in a nail salon. They first sat me to do a pedicure and then after sitting for more than 15 mins they decided to dry my feet and send me for what should have been a fill on my nails. The guy sat down and reeked of beer so bad I mentioned it and he puts a mask on them proceeds to big my nails he was literally burning my fingers when I pulled my hand away because they were on fire he says look how hard I'm working here. Then proceeds to continue to grind them even further. The lady owner comes over I complained and she switched spots with him to finish my nails. The acrylic is so thick, completely uneven and it took longer for just the full on my nails than it took for my 2 daughters to get both pedicures and fills. Definitely will never recommend this place to anyone.
My 1 daughters pedicure left her feet rougher than before, when you leave from having a pedicure your feet should feel at its very best that's not the case in this salon. For 3 people to come in and all 3 walk out very unsatisfied with the worst quality experience ever in a nail salon this place really needs to reevaluate the way things are done here. Not to mention the constant nonstop family arguments between the owner and their daughter not any kind of ambiance what should be a relaxing experience….

Sundra Gurule: ★★★★★

I visited Pro Nails in desperate need of a pedicure. My big toe had a half-grown nail and discoloration that I was told couldn’t be covered up. Tracy overheard my conversation with the nail technician and stepped in, assuring me that she would handle it and not to worry. Tracy went above and beyond, transforming my toes to look amazing. She didn’t stop there; she meticulously aligned all my toes, giving them a flawless, Barbie doll-like appearance….

Angela Cook: ★★★★★

Tracy made my nails look so beautiful! I shared the look I wanted for my nails & she exceeded my expectations by carefully picking the shades best suited for my skin. (I can’t capture exactly how perfect my nails look in a photo.) I will be back and highly recommend ProNails- everyone is friendly, happy and professional 💯…

Mariah Michaud: ★★

I tried this place last week cause I’m new to the area and trying to find a good salon to go to. At first I loved it. The customer service was amazing but the quality turned out to be the worst I’ve ever had.I’ve had my nails steadily done for almost 10 years. The very next day my gel polish started chipping. I have multiple nails already lifting and breaking and mind you I don’t do anything rough to cause this. I’ve never had this happen with a brand new set and I’m honestly super disappointed…

Gregg Realtor: ★★

First, I will say that this review has nothing to do with the employee's or the former owners. Ray and Vicki as well as the workers are fantastic. Since this business was sold my wife and I have had issues several times with appointments. We have been going here for more than 22 years. Lately, we have had numerous appointments scheduled only to find out the appointments were not made or the wrong times were written down. We have spoken to the new owner each time and he made the appointments but then somehow forgets or writes down the incorrect times. This past week my wife called and made two appointments for her and I. We had to update our appointments from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm, the same day. We spoke with the new owner and he stated no problem at all. The day of our appointment we received a call from the receptionist stating we were late for our appointment. My wife advised our appointments were for 2:30 pm. We were quickly said no they were not they were 1:30 pm. My wife explained she spoke to the owner and changed the appointment to from 1:30 to 2:30 pm. The receptionist told my wife that was not correct. Once again, she told him again what had taken place with the owner. The receptionist informed my wife they had other customers at 2:30 pm so we could not come. At this point my wife was upset because this same issue has happened previously. She tried to accommodate numerous times to allow us 15 minutes to get to the shop but was met with no even though this was the owners fault. My wife told them to forget it and we would go elsewhere. I called back and advised the receptionist he needed to call the owner and make this right since it was his mistake and he had done the same thing previously. The owner called back and did nothing but blame my wife. He didn’t offer any solutions and did nothing to help us for his error. He failed to realize I was sitting in the car with her when she made the appointment originally and then had to move it to one hour later. I quickly explained the events that took place and we were told ok. If this was the first time this has happened, we would have said okay no problem. However, this was not the first time it happened. As I stated, it has happened several times since he has taken over after never happening prior to him buying the shop. We miss the way the shop was operated when Ray and Vicki were the owners. To many avoidable mistakes are being made by the new owner….

I forgot to ask her name but she did an amazing job taking care of my nails. Extra care and they turned out better than i imagined. Thank you so much!! Beautiful color too!…

Candis W: ★★★★★

It’s always so calming when I come here, I didn’t have to wait long maybe 5 minutes if that. She did my toes just how I wanted them and the pedicure was amazing. It’s not far from where I live and I’m glad I finally found a nail salon that’s perfect for me. I also got my eyebrows waxed. Everything was awesome….

Ayanna Price: ★★★★★

Ms Gwen is so great! She takes her time and makes sure that you feel wonderful and your feet look awesome 😎Vicki is my nail tech and she’s always on point!!! Love my new design…

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….

judith bertran: ★

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….

Jaclyn Romero: ★★★★★

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….
