ashlie sinclair Amazing nail salon. They are super creative and take their time. Very professional and always know how to do the newest thing! Been going to them for over 3 years!

James Powell Loved my nails, Danielle didsuch an amazing job!!! Its been 2 weeks and my nails yet to lift(rarely that they dont lift) and the colors... love it!!! (By Dina Powell)

JoAnne Kustenmacher It was absolutely awesome. Took her time and worked with my nails to make them look good after cleaning and looking after my 3 grandbabies for 2 months. They looked great! Thank You!

The Dog Spot & Training Center Loganville Best nail experience ever! Chairs give great massages, tons of nail colors to choose from, no excessive scraping of my feet, leg massage was superb, and my nails turned out awesome!! We will be back!

Jean Maurer Best in town! Owned by good people! You’ll get excellent pedicures & manicures, in a clean facility, with comfortable Massage chairs, friendly service with attention to detail, & fair prices, i highly recommend NAILS BY KIM.

monique meyer Came over to Crescent beach for a quick beach day and decided to get a pedicure. I mapped salons in the area and this was the closest so I stopped by and they took me right away. They had a beautiful orange color that fit my mood that day and boom $27 and I was on my way. I plan to make this my regular routine. Tiny parking lot tho, so I wonder where you could park if they were busy. Not sure

Melissa Pandika Editing to add that Kim gave me another lovely power dip manicure. My last manicure lasted over a month, with no chipping or lifting! Original review: I got a powder dip manicure from Kim—she did a beautiful job. She was very thorough and meticulous to ensure my manicure would last. Plus, she’s extremely kind and gentle—the nicest nail tech I’ve had! Highly, highly recommend. I’ll definitely be back.

Karissa Amrhein I love working with Mrs Kim! Shes very sweet and thorough! I get dip powder every 3-4 weeks as Im allergic to gel. I never have issues with nails breaking or color fading. Im a dog groomer so the dip also protects my natural nails from the grooming Dremel. I love the French tip look, and Kim is always careful to create beautiful nails for me! Its best to book online, especially around the holidays as she books up fast!

Lillia Przybycien Oh my goodness!! What an amazing salon, Kim is amazing and so thoughtful with her work! Nice prices, beautiful outcome and she gave me a free nail sticker design for both nails in the photo, very sweet! I will definitely be back again and again and I cannot stress it enough how amazing she and her work is!!! Her cuticle care is spectacular by the way, do yourself a favor and book an appointment with her!

Lora Lee Bellar Consistently flawless acrylic nails! Highly recommend Sugar Coat Nails! Relaxing pedicures! Never feal rushed. Customer service is excellent from the moment you walk in their door.

maegan altemose I haven’t had my nails done in a long time. I wanted to go with my normal French full set. Jennifer exceeded my expectations. My nails are beautiful. She was very meticulous with getting the shape perfect and her brush work is exceptional!

Rick Jacobsen My wife goes to Sugarcoat to have Tina work on her nails. Tina does an incredible job! She is the best nail technician my wife has had in a long time. Thank you for your wonderful establishment and great employee Tina!

Audrey A Ms Joan is my absolute favorite!!! she is so talented, kind, and makes great conversation. i have never left disappointed with my nails. she is efficient and so skilled.

hailey larsen The best work! Kindest and most personable service! Could not recommend more!

Susanne Rainier I am visiting St Augustine Beach so I didnt know where to go for a manicure. After two weeks, my gel manicure is still looking great. My nails were so bad I wouldnt even post a before picture. She was quick, thorough and efficient. I will return for sure if I return to this area.

Tom Blythe Today I enjoyed a wonderful pedicure by Lillian. She did a great job with my deluxe Pedi. My feet feel great! Whenever we are in St Augustine I book a visit to Polish Nails and Spa. Friendly, professional service rendered. Thanks Lillian Ill be back!

Susan Zimmerman Went here 2/17/24 for a dip fill and pedicure. The man that did my nails was very gentle and I left feeling like he did a good job. Less than 24 hours later the top of my all of my finger nails has cracked and the top layer is starting to come off. See photo of the thumb nail where the top layer is off. $50 down the drain. If I had paid by credit card, I would be disputing the charge as I did not get what I paid for.

Amanda Berry I’ve been coming here for a couple years and always leave extremely happy! I typically see Haley or Kim, but everyone is great and always friendly!

Dana Tilton clean place, they were able to get me and my daughter in last minute, if you are in need of a quick pedicure, this place does the trick. Super nice staff. To me, the only downside was they didnt use a liner on the bowl for the pedicure. I could be wrong but I thought that was fairly standard these days and more sanitary to use liners. But overall was happy with my experience.

Jen C I had a great experience and found a place in St. Augustine that I’ll be going back to. Cindy was very gentle with my thin and fragile fingernails. She did an excellent job and the pedicure was just as amazing.

Megan Lee Thomas did an amazing job on my nails! Wonderful staff, very polite and professional! Definitely coming back, Im incredibly happy with the end product.

Grace Sanderson I got my engagement nails done here. They did amazing and were very nice! I got acrylics with gel bubble bath and white chrome. He waited too long to propose so they grew out a bit but stayed looking beautiful for 4 weeks!! Great quality!

Ashley Garcia Aparicio After 8 years in this town i unfortunately cant recommend this salon over other places nearby. Its very hit or miss and despite most of the employees being very pleasant theres a couple of bad eggs and a rude woman in particular. One of the nicer ones did this work here…

Alli B This location is my favorite nail salon in the area. From the outside, it’s nothing special, but inside the atmosphere is well lit, clean and the ambiance is great! Terri was very helpful and she spoke very good English, something I prefer regardless from where the originate. The have reasonable prices and offer a beverage while you relax. Massage chairs are always clean and in good working order with sanitary practices. I’ve never been cut here and they tsk great care for safety and satisfaction. They even had time for an unplanned walk-in for me today. I will be back

Isabella Dyer Unfortunately yesterday(on my birthday) I had an absolutely horrible experience. There was only one nail technician and apparently she was new. She ripped apart my cuticles to the point that I was literally bleeding non stop, she applied my acrylics horribly, my index one was fully crooked, and when putting on the polish it was super bubbly/bumpy. I don’t have a photo of the polish but I have the aftermath of when I left midway through. I was crying because of the frustration and pain.

Ashleigh Ledoux First time here (as I recently moved to the area from California) and I was nervous about the change (Ive had the same nail guru for 4 years!) Jenny was PHENOMENAL! Right away I was welcomed, the environment was clean and relaxing, and Jenny did a quick, and beautiful job with my nails while making me feel at home and making me laugh. I made the right choice going to Deluxe Nails and Ill be going again! Thank you!

Chelsea Toldi They are always very accommodating when I don’t have an appointment. Sonia made sure I liked everything she was doing with my nails and took extra time to make them look perfect. I have been to other places since I moved here but now deluxe nails is my go to salon!

peyton robison I came in today I’m not sure who did my nails, but I am really really disappointed and I am really angry. They are poorly done. My cuticles have stuff on them from the nail polish and acrylic. my nails are big and lumpy. I’m very disappointed and I paid $95 when this should’ve been no more than $60. I am never coming back here and I’m not recommending anybody here

debra wycherley My absolute favorite nail spa. The techs. Are so friendly and kind. They do an amazing job whether you are getting nails done or have an ingrown toenail. I always leave feeling amazing, skin and polish looking flawless. Their hours are perfect for people with a busy work life. I also love that they are next to planet fitness. So after a great workout, you stop for a luxury self care. Can’t beat feeling and looking good and enjoying amazing people in the process.

Lauren Denmark I paid AND left a tip to be polite, but I am really, really disappointed. These nails are embarrassing--not lavish. I stayed for 2 hrs/paid $111 for a set of chicklets on my fingers. I am taking these off as soon as I get home.

Leeann Diamond Read the full review for my honest opinion. This is my second visit here... both times, I loved the nail techs that worked with me. They provided good conversation and, more importantly, listened to what I wanted done and, for the most part, did beautifully. Unfortunately, I do not think I will be back as I was completely floored by the cost on this visit. I do not like to question or cause a scene so I didnt. BUT I am questining how these nails cost more than my wedding nails?!? I know that I ask for a few extras but I dont think I have ever been charged this much... like seriously ever; even when I was getting full sets on both fingers and toes. Sooooo 2 of my nails needed fake extensions because they were just a bit short, and I did french on both fingers and toes, and SNS dip on the fingers, I did the level 5 volcano pedicure and did a chrome rub on the fingers and an accent design on each daddy toe and matching ring fingers. I thought it was complementary but its worth mentioning I enjoyed 2 glasses of white wine. It really was a beautiful morning. The weather was yucky so the shop was slow, I complemented the atmosphere multiple times. I always tip $20 for hands and $10 for toes.... I dont know if thats good or bad or what; Ive been told different things so thats just my standard now. I finished up and my bill was ....$185.00!!!! HOLY SMOKES!! So yes $185.00 plus my normal tip $30.00... I just spent $215.00 on a mani/pedi. The nails are cute but not $200+ cute. Really really sad I thought it found my new go to place but nope I wont be back.

Sasha As a first time customer, I had a very pleasant experience here. The salon is clean and smells nice. The ladies are friendly and most of all, I love my nails! Thank you. :) I will be back.

Jacqueline Tiner Excellent service. Been using this salon for 2.5 years and I am very happy with the service they provide. All the nail technicians are friendly and very attentive. A shout out to Rady who does an amazing job. Thank you.

Abigail Jewett I went to Lilys Nails for a gel manicure and left with the wrong color, shape and a bloody nail. Two women worked on my nails, they were extremely rude, yanking my arms around and snapping at me to open my hands. There were bubbles and dust under the polish and when I let them know that I was concerned about the finish and shape they insisted it would be fine. I was given less than 30 seconds to choose a color and although I picked out a white polish, I was given a peachy pink. The gel was all over my fingers and curing to the washcloth underneath my hands. One of the women picked at my cuticle so hard I started to bleed and when I expressed my frustration they proceeded to ask for a tip and still charged me $35. Very disappointing experience.

Donna OKane Lily is wonderful!! She did a beautiful job on my nails and she was so much fun to chat with! She took great care of my feet and gave me tips to keep my heels smooth & soft!

Roger Odachowski It was my first experience and it was amazing! Rose was fun to be around and did a fabulous job on both my feet and hands. The time spent was so relaxing and a great way to start a vacation with my wife. Everyone at Lilly’s were all so friendly and fun! Had a great time talking and conversing with them!!

Sydney Garrett 10/10 they were FANTASTIC. I wish I could remember the woman’s name who did my nails because she was SPECTACULAR. She was also very kind and fun to talk with. I was a walk in and they had no problems getting me in and she did better than the inspo pic. Got a pedicure with gel polish too and it was great. The price point was the same as most salons if not cheaper. I’ll definitely be making this my go-to spot!

diana roffman Staff is so friendly and quick but efficient! I decided to give them a chance today for the first time as I live right around the corner and I was blown away! Never had gotten dip powder before usually get acrylic but I love them so much!!

Austin Vitello Phenomenal customer service, high-quality job, my friend got her nails removed and they were fast and efficient

Andrea Ruiz Hello, I wanted to leave my experience, I did this touch-up a week ago, I must admit that it had never lasted so little time. It was my first time in this place, I wanted to try something closer to my house but it went very badly, it had been going to another place for a year and I have never experienced something like this. The delay in the procedure was immense almost 3 hours for a touch-up, what I asked for was not done attached photo of what I ordered and additional and the most disappointing thing is that my nails rose, regrettable. You can see lumps in the nail polish, the shape of the nails was not what I asked for, they cut my nails too much than what I had ordered, the nail polish was damaged very soon. If you have more options, don’t go, you’ll leave very sad like me. I lost the money. The girl’s attention did not criticise her, she was kind but the job was not what I asked for.

Michelle Ruiz I walked in to get my nails off and was seated immediately. The lady who was originally helping me almost had my nails completely off but near the end she re wrapped my nails with the tinfoil and walked off. I sat there for a while and when I looked over she was working on another lady’s nails! Did not say anything to me just left and never came back! So unprofessional! I should have been treated the same as a customer coming to get a set done. That was very rude and to not even have the decency to say anything to me or ask someone to cover for her. Wow! Will not be back.

Toria TheRandom I LOVE the atmosphere. The decor is gorgeous and the staff is super kind and friendly. We called ahead of time and they were able to get our bride and all 4 bridesmaids at the same time. Our bride LOVED her nails and Eli made sure to help her create a perfect design that she wanted. Jenny helped me with my Pedicure and she did a fabulous job. She was very gentle and even tested the polish on my nails to make sure it was the one I wanted and then helped me switch to find the perfect color. All the bridesmaids were very happy with our nails. Thank you Emily Nails for the fabulous time.

Jim adkins I cannot say enough great things about Good Nails! I treated my wife to a well-deserved day of pampering, and this salon exceeded all expectations. The staff and owners were incredibly kind, talented, and professional, creating an inviting atmosphere that made her feel truly special. What stood out most was their commitment to exceptional customer service. Even though we arrived close to closing time, they went above and beyond by locking the doors and staying late to ensure she got the full experience without feeling rushed. It’s rare to find a business willing to prioritize customer satisfaction like this, especially considering how often nail salon hours don’t align with demanding work schedules. The quality of their work speaks volumes—they are clearly skilled and passionate about their craft. Whether you’re looking for a manicure, pedicure, or both, I highly recommend Good Nails for anyone seeking a place that combines professionalism, talent, and a truly customer-first approach. We’ll definitely be returning! If you’re in the area, don’t hesitate to give them a try. Good Nails delivers luxury-level service that’s worth every penny.

Joyce Ervine Good Nails is clean and well run. My family and I have been patrons for 3 years. It’s hard to find the right fit when you move to another area but I found it with Good Nails. It is a family owned small business. Please tip well and pay in cash so they don’t have to pay a cut to the credit card companies. They are worth it!

Megan Hill I have been going to Good Nails for about 16 months now and I will continue to go for as long as I live in STA! Johnny, Tina and team are wonderful and do such a great job too. Here are some photos of my acrylic and gel set I recently got. I some times just go for gel, but I also love their acrylic work. Highly recommend!

Sunshine Dalzell Pedicure was mediocre. Plus, my credit card was supposed to have been charged $40, but the cashier took it upon himself to add on a $10 tip that I did not authorize. I cannot recommend places that blatantly steal from their customers. If you decide to give them a try, then hopefully youll get a better nail tech than I did and make sure to check your receipt before leaving the salon.

Ember Skyer As a disclaimer i have not gotten my nails done in years but if thats how its supposed to feel i dont know why anyone would. I showed the image of the brown nails as a reference for the shape but wanted them painted black. Im not sure if the services have changed but my cuticles look a mess there is product up to them and on them that is hardened. They are thick and misshapen. He could have just been having a bad day but when I asked if he could change one he just kept trying to convince me it looked fine. I didnt want to argue with the with him I just wanted to get out of there at that point. Im not sure if youre supposed to feel a lot of heat when they file them down but its probably going to take a lot to get my nails healthy when these finally come in. It was a nice place and the people were nice. Like I said maybe he was just having a bad day.

Nicole P Edit: first time was five stars. Three times since, between 1-3 stars. Last time in was the last time I’ll ever be back there. They waxed half of one of my eyebrows off! Thankful that after two months it grew back. Nails were uneven when we got the dip, and the massages were terrible and short after the first time. Really wanted this to be our go to salon. Leaving the first review attached, as it really was a wonderful experience the first out of four total trips. Walked in with my mom and daughter and they accommodated us immediately. Very clean nail salon with pretty decor. Tons of colors to choose from. Two of us did the dip, one did gel. The Volcano Pedicure was awesome! Time spent on massage was amazing. Hot stones and wax were relaxing. Also got my brows waxed, they look perfect. Foot baths and seats were sanitized once we were finished. Nail technicians couldn’t have been nicer. We will be back!
