Grant Williams Helen is my girlll! She is very friendly, talented & gives you exactly what you want with no problems. 10/10 the best nail shop in town! Highly recommend.

aylisa redding 10/10 best shop in Tallahassee they can pretty much do any nail design you may want. Helen is my go to person very affordable and great work. Everyone in the shop takes pride in what they do and they work.

Ngelika Tobias-Narvaez Was excited to come for Helen, heard she did great work and my old nail tech moved so I was looking for a new long term tech. She gave me an appointment time of 5:30 after I told her I was a full acrylic Christmas set with designs. 15 minutes before she asked if I was still coming. After getting there 5 minutes late due to traffic (I let her know), She was still 20 minutes behind from her last appointment so I still had to wait. When I got in the chair she was very snippy and seemed to want to get me out of the chair quickly. She was kinda rough with flipping and filing my hands and again, didn’t really look over her work and was kinda on auto pilot not speaking. Her designs he werent very crisp and she never wiped them off to try again. I told her I didn’t like a color and she said “ok you need to pick I have another customer.” But I’m a paying customer as well… why would you book me for a full acrylic set when you had an appointment before and after me and rushed me out of the chair, I realized this would NOT be a place I would give my money again after she went to ring me up, showed me the price still not saying anything and handing me a pen to sign and I still gave her a tip and she took the receipt and never said bye or anything. I wasn’t rude I wasn’t mean or nasty, I asked 1 maybe 2 questions? 2 gems popped off when I woke up the next morning and looking over them I noticed many imperfections from bumps to dents and a finger print from when she took my nails out of the light too fast to rush me out. The nails were some what ok but I would’ve spent my money where I was wanted as a customer. Super uncomfortable and uncool. Edit: with the response along with that back and fourth conversation we had on Instagram, I’m not sure why she’s making me seem like I’m a bad customer or a terrible or difficult person. This was MY experience and from the reviews prior and her work online, I would have no reason to walk into this nail salon being rude or nasty. I’ve never had a bad experience in a nail salon or in general that warranted a negative review but wow… My old nail tech was an able to freestyle a vibe AS WELL as fit them onto my shorter almond nails (I’m a teacher, they need to be short). I’m not saying my money is better than anyone elses but it felt like it wasn’t even valued on the same level, I’ve never been told to hurry up and pick because the tech didn’t time her stuff out properly. I showed up 5 minutes late and still waited 20 minutes to get started because she was running behind on her last appointment, so late or not, I still waited, that’s fine. If she forgot about me or got times mixed up and told me that was fine and I would completely understand but rushing me out the chair is so unacceptable! I left my job early for this appointment. Again during the appointment I felt like I was so polite even after the hurry up comment so I’m not sure how I made it uncomfortable for her during the appointment. A week later my nails are already lifting like it’s been 3 weeks. I’ve never had an experience like this, and I pray you don’t either, maybe I caught her on a bad day and I wish her the best but degrading my character because I made an honest review is unacceptable.

Shanika Joseph I went here twice and got my nails done for my birthday. I got an acrylic full set and a young lady whose name I dont know did it. I noticed there was was something green under my nail and then noticed it was on multiple nails. Upon removing the nails I saw FUNGUS. This nail salon clearly has employees who don’t properly clean their tools before using them on other people. Fungus is extremely dangerous and I couldve lost a finger. If you plan on going here you might as well bring your own tools if you want to save your fingers. It was a beautiful nail set but terrible outcome.

Amanda K Beca does my nails, and they are CUTE every single time. She takes her time to make sure everything is just right. The blue set is the set she just gave me and theyre my faves. I also have gotten pedicures and polish on my toes and it was amazing. My oldest daughter also gets hers done here (hers are the pink tips) Great atmosphere, never crowded, if my kid comes, theres a nice spot for her to sit and chill. Definitely recommend, you wont be sorry.

madison gorman I have been going to j nails for nearly 11 years! I have seen each of the nail techs who work here, they all do a phenomenally job! I honestly will not go anywhere else for my nails, toes, or eyebrows! You will not regret going here.

Brianna Leigh Beca always does an amazing job with my nails!

Dominique Draper I love this nail shop. I always go to Kelly and she is amazing at her craft. She is very attentive and takes special care to make sure you love your nails. She is the best.

Trista Dawson i love it here. they do nice work and have no problem fixing something you don’t like.

lcjameson Im so excited to have a new nail place close to my home. For the past 24 years Ive been working in Southwood and going to a nail place right by my work. But I retired and Im thrilled to find elegant nails so close to my home. The salon is beautiful and calm and peaceful and I didnt have to wait and the prices are reasonable, and the people are lovely. Thank you!

Kimberly Walker Wont be back. My couple of my nails are bumpy,the guy left nail polish on my skin & just did an overall bad job. Then when I was paying the lady up front started getting onto him in front of me about my nails. She could have pulled him aside after I left. Even tho they were speaking Chinese I could still tell she was yelling at him..just bad business in my opinion.

Gretchen L. Beatty When I got to this location, I was asked what I wanted. I mentioned that I needed to have my nails fixed and I was told to go sit down. She didn’t ask me if I wanted to take a look at what colors they have or anything like that. After I was seated, that’s when I was asked what color I wanted. I pulled up a picture of the color that I wanted, and asked her if they had a color similar to that. She brought over all the colors that they offer. I chose the one I wanted and she verified with me three times that the color I chose is what I wanted. I said yes, all three times. Once I was taken back to where I would be seated the lady that started doing my nails took polish off four of them before getting up and walking away. She then came back did four more nails and got up and walked away and this time took the electric file with her. Upon coming back to where I was seated she was eating food and brought the electric file back with her did my two remaining nails grabbing the electric file and walked away and said nothing to me. Nobody said anything to me as far as why this lady got up and left so many times and didn’t say anything to me. I was asked if I wanted some water. About the time I was about ready to get up and leave Kim, who is an absolutely wonderful person came over, did my nails and apologize profusely for her coworkers rude behavior. I will not go back to this nail salon because how I was initially treated.

Twyla Sketchley I love Tee and her staff. Kind, sweet, caring. Ive been coming here every 2-3 weeks for more than 2 years and have never had a bad experience. Im hard on my nails and my nails withstand almost anything. They are always beautiful. Tee does fantastic designs for me that always get peoples attention and compliments.

Koda Banks Beautiful service. The husband and daughter were able to do my nails and toes at the same time as they were not busy. The husband asked how I liked my nails after every step of the service.

Jenny Ralph I’ve been going here for about 6 years. I get dip nails and feel they are a great value and long lasting (sometimes up to 5 weeks!). Like any place, if you go at peak hours you will have to wait.

Kayla Rivera The customer service at Allure is top tier. I want to thank Jennifer for doing these beautiful nails and really taking the time. She gave a wonderful experience and I will be coming back!

Shatoria Christopher This nail place was so clean in quite the lady really took her time on my time nails she gave me brand-new feet I will let her do them any time in the owner gave me new nails its a color acrylic I love it I cant stop looking at them u guys have to go check it out in they also give u wine

Betty Moses Every time I have been to Penny nails, it has been a pleasant experience. Stanley is professional and through and really good at what he does.

Shannon Norton The worst experience in my life the girl dropped the nail polish in my lap and didnt know how to work her equipment the proper way cutting my finger nails up

Erica Love The salon itself is tranquil and clean. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

Riley the best princess Not a lot of nail techs. Also there work isnt the best.

Kelsea Holmes This is my 3rd time coming here for pedicures. The pedicures have lasted over a month with absolutely no chipping. The service has always been good. Great customer service and they really scrub your feet. I have gotten the #4 Pedicure which is pure heavenly. The only issue I would say is the pricing isnt consistent. For the same pedicure I have been charged between $70-$80 between 3 different times. I dont mind, but if you have a strict budget you may want to ask about the charges. Other than that, I love it here and will continue to be back. Ive been serviced by 3 different employees, but my favorite is the older gentleman.

Jamina Wusik I got a gel pedicure as I always do. This was my first time here and my last. My toe nails are crooked, and the paint is chipped. Literally it’s been a day. 1 day, I have never smh. I got a kids paint job for my 5 years old which usually lasts a day maybe 2…al the polish is off but I was told while there that They would not fix it if she smudged them. My oldest daughter pedicure basic at best but that’s fine. We were rushed my daughter’s eyebrows are crooked and missing a chunk out of them. My little one has nothing to show for and I have chipped and crooked toes. This is exactly why I stopped going to Mall nail salons, not to mention the woman doing my five-year-old nail polish kept grabbing her hand roughly and turning it in order to paint it just no patience at all and I’m still a good person. I made sure I tipped on top of being $155 but they can keep that business to the people who don’t know any better.

Miranda Smith Im very upset with my experience here. I paid $45 for the nails in the pictures. I felt rushed out to where my nails didnt dry and are now all messed up. Not only that the man made my finger bleed. My fingers were not cared for properly as there is still dried glue on the backs of my fingers, hang nails, and disproportionately sized. I am very angry about this experience and will not go back. I was also charged $2 for not wearing a mask and wasnt told about it until I thought to ask.

Blacdadi Strahberies As an professional and licensed esthetician I would like to say this place is a rip off and and a disgrace to the beauty,cosmo sector. Im assuming this is a family business because grandma someone mother was brutal during a rushed pedicure that left feet with the same dry skin I came in with and tell me I should hve gotten number 2,numerous of times had to ask for a clear coat,manicure was rushed if i hadnt brought notice to my nails still being dirty they would have just pushed me out the door,I treated a friend to a pedicure and she also said she wouldnt come ever again and apologized for bringing me

Daphni Gregory My Girl Linda never disappoints! 12/31/21 My girl Linda hooked me up again!!!! I miss her sooo much! It’s been a minute since I’ve been to her bc we both be so busy. But I’m back! And these fingers missed her touch! I love it when she does my nails! ❤️ Ask for Linda when you go to Governor’s square! 03/06/2022 Linda got me Birthday ready!!! Thanks girl! Y’all go see Linda at City Day spa! 05/25/2022 Love this marble design! Thanks Linda!! 02/17/2023 I’ve been getting my nails done from Linda for 7 years! She’s the best!❤️

Cheryl Witt Guy in charge is bossy. I came with friends for the sole purpose of a relaxing foot soak and massage as we had been on our feet for hours. There were three of us, but only two available attendants. It was a cold and rainy day he refused to let me soak my feel while I waited for him to finish. Finally my friend convinced him and I was able to enjoy a few minutes of bubbles. He massaged my left foot really well and when he shortchanged the right one I asked for a little more. NO! After that I gave up.

Mrs. Baby K Ok!!!! I love this place but, they give you the prices that they want to charge you. EDITED: 02/12/2025 Well, the young guy gives all the prices. Its mother, father, and son. My nails are usually 65 and pedicure 35 ok...... So, my daughter and I went recently and he did white powder on my nails ( when I asked for white gel nail polish) and pink powder on my daughter ( when she only wanted French tip) we kept getting a no it wont look right or last long ( when I get gel nail polish all the time and it lasts just like it always does) so now I know why he did that ( MORE MONEY!!! Because he said something about the bills at the salon. Ok ... Moving along, I said how much for my pedicure ( just to see what he would say because its usually $35.00) he said, $45.00 I said no, regular polish, he said no only gel. I said do you have regular polish for toes anymore??!! He said no!!! JUST LIED TO MY FACE! I said well, no thank you!!! SO TODAY, I WENT ELSEWHERE TO GET MY PEDICURE ONLY $30.00 AND IT WAS A MAGICAL EXPERIENCE!!! I LOVE IT!!! I WILL NOT BE COMING BACK HERE BUT I WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE ONE I WENT TO TODAY.... WAY!! CHEAPER AND NOT TRYING TO GET MONEY OUT OF YOU!!!

Ms. Tinson I visited Hawaiian Nails with a friend who has been going there for a while, expecting a quality experience. Initially, everything seemed fine as only three people were working: the mother, the husband, and the son. The mother was welcoming, which gave me hope, and I picked out the colors for my manicure and pedicure. The older lady did my manicure, and I was satisfied with her work. However, when it came to my pedicure, I immediately noticed that the older gentleman who was assigned to it was rushing through the process. I attempted to guide him on my preferences, but he ignored my requests completely. When I told him I was displeased with the way he was doing the pedicure, I asked the woman who did my manicure if she could take over my pedicure. She spoke to the son, who then asked me if I didn’t like it. I said no which noticeably upset the older man at which point, disrespectfully yanked the plastic protective cover out of the water and then told me to leave. The son, seemingly the only one who could understand my concerns, informed me that the older gentleman was the only person who performed pedicures. Throughout this ordeal, the rudeness of the older man was shocking. I’ve rarely experienced such poor service—especially considering that I view pedicures as a special treat that I seldom indulge in. I take great care of my feet and budget for these moments of pampering. Being told to leave was entirely unacceptable and disheartening. My expectations were not unreasonable; I simply sought a basic level of courtesy and service. Customer service is immensely important to me, and I will not tolerate disrespectful treatment when spending my hard-earned money.

J D I took my teenage daughter to Pro Nails on Pensacola St first, and were turned away because they “don’t do acrylics for minors”. The woman was very condescending and rude to us there. We happened to see Hawaiian Nails on the way home (we were on a time crunch, so didn’t think we had time to find a new spot) and it must have been fate. We were taken care of immediately, without hesitation. Young man was very quick, we were only there for 30 mins total! He was very gentle with my daughter’s hands and did not hurt her. The nails turned out exactly like she wanted. Well worth the $40 plus 30% tip. Excellent service, friendly staff and atmosphere. We will definitely return!

Jasmine Hutcheson 1st, sponge was washed & reused. Nasty! Poor service. Poor communication. I asked to plz focus on cuticle care due to frequent hand washing. It was rushed & not thorough. I am not satisfied with the manicure and expressed that. There was still no effort to resolve. I sensed that because I chose natural over spending big money with gel or powder, my satisfaction wasn’t a concern. Certainly not worth $55! I took a chance with this place and regret it.

Kathleen Scott One of my favorite nail salons! They are quick and efficient without losing the "Im being pampered" feel. The techs are friendly and quick to recognize repeat clients. Not overly luxurious, but comfortable and clean. And I found my new favorite summer nail color!!

Kamaya Payne Horrible experience, the people in there have the WORST attitude- the person i went with got charged 78$ for a pedicure and a cut/file down on her nails. When i told the lady i didn’t like my nails she caught an attitude and was very rough with me since the beginning. She would smack her teeth and role her eyes at me as well. They are also unsanitary, they use sour smelling rags on your legs and they use a vacuum to get the filing debris off your hand- WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!

Ashley Bean The young lady that did my nails did an exceptional job. However, the lady at the front desk talked so loudly on her phone, just short of yelling, the entire time I was there. It really ruined it for me. I wont be back.

Barclay Renovations Quickest pedicure I’ve ever had. No frills, no extras. Asked for two colors on my nails and I was told no, they don’t do that. Asked for acrylics on my toes and they would only do one toe on each foot and they don’t accept tips if you pay with a card. The lady actually stopped me from signing and adding it. So I left it off. I can’t believe a tip was even turned down considering the service really didn’t warrant one. First time. Last time.

Ariele Williams Not my regular nail salon. Chose them due to being open late. Horrible attitude soon as you walk in the door. Does not know how to talk to customers. Needs to learn customer service skills. Did not even get a chance to get my nails done because the lady at the front desk has such a horrible attitude that I could not deal with. Walked out just as fast as I walked in. If you value customer service do not go here.
