Top Reviews about 19 Nail Salons in Gainesville, FL

Gabby Taylor This was a pretty good experience.The workers were kind and they had manners. The nails were gorgeous, I mean they did a fantastic job on the nail art! The only bad thing about this excellent nail place was the price… On average prices are 50 for a full set it was 75 per. But other than that I recommend going and getting your nails done at orchid nails Jonesville FL!

Ann Queen Orchid Nails is a pleasant and professional salon. The prices are very fair, the results are perfect. I highly recommend Orchid Nails. Ask for Snow or Peter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sarah MacDonald Always great service! And for the review below stating she was told “she didn’t have time”, I was actually the woman in the salon and that’s not how the conversation went. This person was rude and while she was in fact told there was no time; that was not a personal attack. They are a very small “mom and pop” shop with only one person that does certain services. She had a fully booked schedule & truly didn’t have time and was honest with her. That’s no reason to blast a business. Smh

MadiTheRavenCos My boyfriend and I got our nails done on Sunday, it wasn’t busy when we came in as we came in an hour or so before closing and were tended to right away, they were very accommodating to what we wanted and we both left very satisfied with the final outcome.

Taylor Smith Very upset with my visit! I have been a customer for years! Yesterday I was in for a full set! I was charged $5 more for something I didn’t want done, I thought it was something new to the service for a full set of acrylic nails. My nail tech was Alan, he was super polite while doing my nails. But today, it looks like my cuticles have been completely cut off! My fingers are red and puffy! Called, was only told I could be refunded a whole $5 until the manger came in and the tech could talk to her about the issue! I travel all the way across town to go to them because I never have any other issues, but this issue has completely changed my mind about going there again! If I could give 0 stars I would! This is completely unacceptable!

AMarria Mills They put a lot of effort into their designs and nails. My nails last me up to month in a half when I get them done by them. I do a lot of work that I have to use my hands and my nails don’t just pop off like when I go anywhere else. I appreciate there work and love the staff. They make the experience of getting your nails done and feet very judgment free.

Lindsey Mateo I am so happy to have found Enso! This salon is incredibly well ran, and their attention to detail and cleanliness really sets them apart. Mallory is incredibly detailed and does such a beautiful job when shaping my nails. I’ve also had several services performed by other nail technicians at Enso, all of whom did a phenomenal job as well. My standards are high, and Enso surpasses them all!

Amanda Hill This was my first time at Enso and the best experience I’ve had at any nail salon in Gainesville! Fran gave me the best manicure I’ve ever had, she is so meticulous and my nails look perfect! Everything was super clean, the atmosphere was spa like, very relaxing. Thank you so much Fran, I will definitely be back to see you!

Deanna Charts I’ve been going to Enso for about 8 months now and went for the first time under the new ownership today. I’m happy to say it was the same old Enso! I received the same nail perfection and friendly employee interactions that I have always loved and come to expect from my services there! Will definitely be continuing my regular appointments!

Angel Cogar Fantastic! I ended up here because my usual places were closed on Sundays. I showed Ms. Cindy a picture of what I wanted for New Years Eve and she knocked it out of the park. She was fast, gentle and very nice. I will definitely be back.

Lauren Gentry Took my little lady here for her Birthday and I cannot express how beyond pleased I was all the way around. We’ve gone to MANY nail salons and none have matched what we experienced today, from the welcoming atmosphere, welcoming and friendly staff. We’ve had so many bad experiences elsewhere especially when my little girl gets her nails done, but they were so gentle with her and gave her exactly what she wanted (literally looked like the picture she showed them), and with my nails they are the best I’ve ever had done he understood what I wanted and needed (due to my career) and went above and beyond and even recommended a nail shape that complimented my wide nail bed and fingers which NO ONE has ever even mentioned to me before when getting my nails done. They also did a phenomenal job on both of our eyebrow waxings, didn’t hurt and for the first time my skin didn’t react negatively after. They were also talkative, which you don’t get often in a nail salon, there was a lot of laughter so to say I couldn’t be more pleased is an understatement….they literally made our experience fun which hasn’t been the case for many years when we have been to other places to have our girls day! If I could I would definitely give more than 5 stars, but they will now be our go to with nails, waxing, etc.! Thank you for a wonderful experience for our girls day and all the girls days to come ❤️

Tiffany Murphy I usually do not get my nails done while traveling, but I decided to take a chance today. My Daughter in Law and I got pedicures. We were both very please! The staff is very friendly, helpful, efficient, and very thorough! The shop was clean and great choice of colors. We will definitely be back while we are here at Shands. When the nail tech found out why were here, when we left she told me she would pray for my Daughter in Law.❤️. I have to say that the whole staff is the friendliest staff I have EVER had the pleasure of doing business with!

Rose Henderson Can’t speak highly enough about this lovely place. They are definitely my go to. I’m always taken care of and made to feel right at home. Very relaxing atmosphere for a racing mind. Also, best hand and feet massages you will ever have in your life. Family owned and it shows. Everything they do is with love and they are always striving for greatness. Mama did an amazing spooky set on me today! I am so grateful to have found them. Ps this is a dip set on my natural nails, I came in with 2 nails on this hand that were a little bit shorter, Chris did a wonderful job shaping them and blending the lengths together.

Brandy Duncan Absolutely LOVE this place. Went to many different salons before I found this one and I am so happy I did! Emily and Chris are AMAZING at doing my nails every single time. They are always so nice and welcoming. Emily did this set for me and it came out even better than I imagined! If you’re looking for a nail salon this is for sure the place. I drive a good distance just to come here and it’s always worth it. NEW REVIEW! as always Emily made my nails absolutely amazing , so happy with this outcome ! She always gives me exactly what I want and makes them so beautiful. After a month of not getting them done I’m so happy this is the set I got , and just in time for Valentine’s Day!

Fran Vasta Great place, friendly people and great service. She did an awesome job on my nails!

Sydney Hoopaugh Velvet Aura is the only salon I’ll go to in town! Mhika is so amazing at what she does and makes sure her team is on par with the same level of service. The space is so relaxing it’s such a haven compared to other salons where you leave with a headache from the fumes, or just being overwhelmed by the constant door opening. Being appointments-only means you get such a personalized experience and your tech isn’t trying to manage running the store simultaneously. Mhika usually has movies or a show playing, so it’s such a great brain-break from the outside world. Mhika has been my mail tech for at least the past four years, and I literally refuse to see anyone else!

Alani Cromwell Mhika is such a skilled and courteous nail stylist! Just by walking into Velvet Aura you feel relaxed from her plants and complimentary coffee/snacks station. She always takes extra care with her Russian manicure (included FREE of charge with every service), very attentive to details, and the vibes are always immaculate. I also appreciate that her salon is 100% fume free. Ive never had ANY complaints whatsoever, my nails are always beautiful!

Katya Hartley I’ve been to @mhikanails three times and she gets better every time. Incredibly talented and innovative in her technique and services. Top quality products and service. My natural nails have never looked better and they actually last so long. The salon vibes are immaculate and she always has a movie or show playing during your service. You are also surrounded by plants so 10/10

Nina Kaharl I brought my daughter here, it was her first time getting her nails done and they were very kind and patient with her. They did the exact design from the example photo, but checked with me every step or the way with length, price and things like that. We will definitely be back for future services. The place was clean and relaxing.

Silvana Superb service and value!!!! They are the best! Lucky is the sweetest tech and the gentleman who did my pedicure was excellent and professional!! You gotta try their Pedicures! Super relaxing!!!

Leah Stuerman Went and got my eyebrows done and will honestly be coming back regularly! Staff is so friendly and good price. She did a very thorough job on my eyebrows. Can’t wait to come back for a mani/pedi!

Megan Walls absolutely love this girl, her work, and the experience! would recommend to anyone ♥️

Franci Tabaczenski Everyone was nice and professional but Im not impressed with the quality of the service. It doesnt look very even and smooth and one of my nails has hair from the polish brush stuck to it. Also, they didnt paint close to the cuticles making it look like its already a week old polish and they didnt do a good job cleaning around the nail. Its cheaper than most places in town but not worth it.

Daritza Herrera Sunny and Cindy provide excellent customer service. They are both patient and detailed oriented. I am very happy with my manicure and pedicure which lasted >3 weeks. I love that they carry OPI polish. It’s probably better to walk in without an appointment. Also, better to bring and pay with cash. I can’t wait for my next appointment.

Amy Bradley They were very helpful and in about an hours time i got my nails done! I love my nails no one can tell which are fake and which are my real nails, hehehe!

Mr Cowarts Daughter Kidprenuer Pop Up at Mlk 2025. It was great. This was the 5th year. Our 2nd year participating. Enjoy the pics. The children had a blast. Music, raffles, shout out. Free face painting, interviews. Ms. Edwina, you rock!

Clint Asbell Hands down, an amazing spa experience for kids. My daughter and her bestie obviously had the "Best Friends Forever" spa experience with Edwina, the owner. From the lush robes to the lemonade in a champagne flute, these girls enjoyed their services and were treated like true princesses!!!! The place is beautiful and the vibe is on point!! Id highly suggest taking advantage of this experience whether you come in solo, with your bestie or an entire party!!!!!

Sheena Asbell Such a wonderful place for your kids to be pampered & really enjoy a true spa experience ! My daughter and her friend lived their best spa day doing the best friend package to celebrate a 4th birthday! Thank you to the wonderful young ladies who gave the girls the princess treatment!

Heather Grove Keisha just did an amazing job and she is such a kind soul. As a nail biter, I needed something subtle and short and she NAILED IT! She has a baby toy poodle too … so really she is the best!

Joshua Bell The service here is very professional. The salon is always clean and she has snacks and drinks just incase you wanted a snack. I really enjoy going here to get my manicure and pedicure. Keishia who is the owner of the salon is very friendly and always making the experience a wonderful one. I really refer anyone looking for a nice place to go this is the place to go.

Tazia Cox I have been going to Keisha for a while now and every visit is great! She is very professional and personable. She makes you feel very comfortable and customer service is A1!! The shop is always clean. She executes all to designs with perfection!! You will not be disappointed!!

Yashira Ortiz Went 2 days ago for a full set and all of them came out, the lady said she could fix them but she wanted to charge again. Dont let them get you for foul. They are not worth it. Stealers.

Kathy Im new to town and needed a pedicure. I just picked the closest place to where I live. I definitely picked the right place and will go back. Clean, great customer service and a great pedicure. Conveniently near Publix, easy to park.

Karen Cardona Love this places. They offer great services.Always clean all the tools. The basic pedicure also includes paraffin. This salon have the best prices $$ in town

Bev G I’ve had consistently excellent massages here. It’s become exceptionally difficult to book services, though. Unfortunately, scheduling an appointment for a massage more than a month out isn’t realistic (for me) and booking multiple services for a single day doesn’t seem possible unless you book a very long time out. I just tried to book an hour massage and a facial on the same day and the first Saturday morning available was almost three month’s out. Good for SR that they are so busy, but bad for customers who can’t (or don’t want to) book that far ahead.

Nancy Báez Jessica did an amazing correction in my eyebrows. I had a previous old work that not only was fainted and bluish, but the shape was super thin. Jessica brought me hope and did a job only like an artist could accomplish. After a couple of sessions, I have the most beautiful natural-looking eyebrows. I recommend her as she is a very knowledgeable and kind person. The process was not painful for me and I found it very relaxing. I fell asleep last time as I trusted her in the whole process.

Joleen eliz No words can truly describe how relaxed I felt. I have had many MANY facials before. I typically have a very hard time relaxing during them and I usually feel the same leaving as I did when I first arrived. However that is not the case here. I have never felt so at peace and so rejuvenated in my life! I think I have finally found the perfect place to go to when life needs to get a little quiet. I’m so extremely grateful for the experience I had.
