Nail Salons 15 Reviews in Pensacola, FL (Part 3)

kelsey griffin I walked in on a Tuesday around 11am and was quickly greeted. Although the techs were busy the woman at the front desk let me know someone would be with me shortly. I asked for gel x with a cat eye and that’s exactly what I got! Ne took care of me and I was in and out in no time.

G Raychel I was really impressed with Nancy! She has been doing my grandmas nails for years and I had the pleasure to have her as my nail technician. I did a simple short gel nail and she was so meticulous! I was very happy with her attention to detail! I would highly recommend requesting her!

Mary Sands Do not go to this place. Not only is it run down, but I was given 3 fifty dollar gift cards that they will not honor because they switched systems. They stole my money.

Rye I got a refill and wanted to get my sister acrylics for an early christmas present to her. My nails are thicker than they should be, and the tips of them are not painted so you can see the acrylic. They also didn’t file them all the way down like they were supposed to, she left color on my existing nail. I asked for acrylics for my sister and they did not do acrylic. They put glue-on tips on her nails and painted over them with gel and charged me $72 for them. The ends of the nails are slanted and the nails are crooked. They took advantage of the fact that I wasn’t watching her do my sisters nails.

Alaina Rodriguez Good environment, way overpriced for what was done.... got French tip, gel, which is what I got... but Ive never had them peel off in under 10hrs!!! Thats absolutely crazy! I got them done yesterday and half werent fully reaching each side of my nail. Im not sure if it was the polish gel used or poor curing...but poor application in general. I mentioned I was a bartender so they typically cure for longer (at least at my usual salon) I got two gel services mani pedi and paid for my friends pedi and the total was $190...will stick to my regular nail place :(

Courtney Grissim Came in for a gel mani while on vacation and Evelyn did my nails! Beautifully decorated and clean salon owned by very sweet and talented sisters! I had so much fun chatting with Evelyn—and she gave me perfect and wonderful French tips. I’m thrilled with them and I’m actually pretty hard to please. She’s conscientious about her work and was a perfectionist—she made extra sure I was happy before I left and was just so lovely. Will definitely return when I’m back in the area. 10/10 recommend.

Stephanie Ammons My experience at Medina Belleza was nothing short of amazing. I work hard, and own a cleaning business so I’m always after to get my nails done because I feel like I will ruin them - but Evelin, the owner, suggested I try a Luminary manicure on my natural nails to keep them strong, and long…so I did and I grew my nails for 3 weeks and they didn’t even chip! Not only are the services super professional, the environment inside the salon is bubbly, joyful, and positive. Everyone working there makes you feel like a complete princess! I will keep coming back, and highly recommend you go book your next manicure ASAP!

Jean I love that this place has only 5 stars. It deserves it. I was lucky enough to get a last minute pedicure due to a cancellation. I walked into a very fun and nicely setup of nail salon (other services, too!) and was greeted right away and offered a glass of wine. Yes, please. The young lady (one of 3 sisters there) was talkative when I wanted her to be, but also let me just relax when I wanted. She did a fabulous job and I enjoyed it immensely. I cant wait to go back with my daughter and make more of an experience out of it. Highly recommend and believe the 5 stars are warranted!

Courtney Truax I loved the women here! When I asked about a small bridal party this business and these women were ready to help, even when we showed up late. They set up for a bridal party, gave us the works, and played music that matched our bridal party theme. So very considerate, excellent pedicures and exceptional gel extensions. These ladies rock with their hospitality, prices, and presentation. Would use over and over again.

DiDi W. Came to visit family, I needed nails and 3 other family members wanted pedicures. We were all seated and the nail tech started arguing with me that I needed to have a pedicure with my family. Would not take no for an answer. My sister in law finally convinced her that I only wanted nails. $65 later, after I specifically showed her my very slanted nails, they’re almost all slanted, and my thumbnail has a very interesting swoop. Terrible customer service, they constantly tried to sell other services by saying “you need lip wax”. Insulting. Would not recommend.

Sherri Stewart Prices are very Good. I have been going there a lot now and I am still getting great service every time I go! Louis is very good at what he does. Louis is very fast and thats one of the reasons that I go back to him! Plus they are open every day including weekends, both days on the weekend to. Today was the first time that I have been there on a Sunday morning and its still GREAT! I have been going there for over a year now and I still get the same service as I did the first time I went to Louis... prices are still GREAT!! I enjoy getting my nails done there and I think that anyone should get their nails done there! Kelly does a Great job when Louis is not available. When I have a problem with my nails, Louis always fixes them, just like when I had my knee surgery and 6 nails had popped off, well, the product had lifted up on those 6 and he fixed them for me and the price was not that bad either.

Cass Nice a peaceful salon. Very nice service. They did both my manicure and pedicure at the same time. I wish I got the gentleman’s name who did my feet. He did an exceptional job, he took his time and was very detailed oriented.

Chris Cagle First time to visit and can’t say I will be back. The most uncomfortable, stressful $140 I’ve ever spent in a nail salon and my nails look like crap. The staff was loudly arguing with each other over who was supposed to do my nails. I would have rather them just not do them if it was going to be an issue. The lady who ended up doing them was not happy and you could really tell in the quality of her work. Edit to add, already chipped after a week, I can normally go at least 3 weeks with dip

Lindsey N I have had Ms. Mia do my nails both times I have been, and she has done flawless work! I will continue to see her every time I can! The green set was taken from Pinterest and I failed to take a picture, but I swear it looked exactly the same! She’s magic ✨Also, Ms. Ruby gives the best most relaxing pedicures. She worked meticulously and methodically to get my ingrown toenail fixed and all my toes looking and feeling great! Mr. Louis painted my western theme and I loved those too!

Amanda Fansler I have never felt more welcome and heard at a nail salon. Angelique listened and executed exactly what I asked for. I will definitely be back. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Ashley Mitchell I very rarely write reviews on the first go round, but my experience here was UNMATCHED. I have gotten my nails done for 10+ years and have tried it all acrylic, dip, gel, etc., but no one who ever truly cared about the health and wellness of my nails. I booked with Angelique & before even starting anything she asked me about my nail habits to determine the best manicure possible. I’m a habitual nail biter who is rough on her hands, and I learned more in my one appointment about nail care than I ever have in 10+ years of nail appointments. She talked through every single step that she was doing to make sure that I was informed and also checked in on me to make sure I wasn’t burning or uncomfortable. She guided me through picking color, shape, and length, but ultimately left it up to me, so I felt like I could make corrections without that salon guilt (iykyk) Lastly, everyone in the salon made me feel so comfortable and not just awkward small talk. You would’ve thought I’d had been going for years! I am looking forward to my next appointment already. (Before & After! PS I know these nails are short, but that was completely my choice as I have fast nail growth so I always like to go a little shorter) Anyway, if you struggling finding nail techs who listen and you can trust try out Glitz!!!

Keisha McIntyre I have been a customer at Glitz Nail Bar & Spa for quite some time now and I can HONESTLY say this has been the absolutely best customer service experience I have ever experienced! Starting with the owner and on down to the staff. If anyone has an issue with the owner or any staff members, then you really should look in the mirror because these ladies are AMAZING!

Destinee Harris My experience with Taylor, the owner, has been deeply disappointing and unprofessional. Her communication skills are severely lacking, and I have often felt disrespected and treated as if I were a child. The salon itself is cramped and uncomfortable, and Ive noticed that she frequently rearranges chairs and desks to ensure that my clients have nowhere to sit when they visit. Despite my ongoing politeness and respect towards her, I have not received the same courtesy in return. Taylor has carelessly discarded my tools without my consent and has dismissed my vibrant energy as “pushy.” She has also attempted to dictate my pricing strategy, arguing that my nail specials compete with other technicians, including herself. Additionally, Taylor often rummages through my belongings that I have not made publicly accessible. When I have attempted to engage in constructive conversations to clarify these issues, she has insisted that she isn’t “arguing” with me, yet she remains dismissive. Her communication is inconsistent—she ignores my calls but expresses frustration when I take time to respond to her texts. I have consistently sensed a bias against me; her interactions with other technicians are marked by warmth and joy, in stark contrast to her treatment of me. Throughout my time in the salon, Ive always maintained a respectful demeanor, yet I have felt unwelcome since before I even moved into the booth. Overall, my experience has left me feeling marginalized and unsupported. When the contract was terminated, she attempted to unlawfully take my belongings by insisting that I had seven business days, until 5:30 PM, to retrieve my items. However, the contract explicitly stated that I only had 48 hours to collect my things, after which they would be considered abandoned and become hers. To prevent me from accessing my property, she deactivated my entry code to the shop. It’s important to note that Florida law mandates technicians must have 24-hour access to their belongings unless the contract is in default, and we possess all of our items.

Valentina Whitfield All I can say is wow! Kristi is by far the best nail tech I ever had!! She was warm, kind and made our Mother & Daughter Spa Day extra special. It was a nice, cozy environment and the service was top tier. I would recommend this gem to anyone!!

Julie Gilley Bowden I have been coming to Kristy for over three years now! Her professionalism and talent are the very best in my opinion. She truly cares for her clients, listening to their requests and providing an exceptional nail and pedi experience. She also provides waxing, lash extensions and permanent make-up! You wont regret using Kristy for your next beauty appointment!

Mary Lowery Kristy is amazing with my 80 year old mother who has dementia. She is very gentle with her and takes her time. Not to mention she is very good at what she does, and also makes home visits since my mom cant get out to a salon. Im so glad I found Kristy, and my mom will never see anyone else besides her!

Tara Smith I have countless nail techs in this city to find someone to be my "nail person". Once i found Kristy using a groupon, I swore my allegiance and loyalty. Shes wonderful. Caring, talented, and puts love into her work. A perfect pedi and nails, Every. Single. Time

Michelle Calhoun Pedicure are essential in my daily life health care and routine. Therefore I only go Nail Salon that have 5 STAR Rating with Clients Reviews on confirm Professionalism and Excellence. She will take the individual time to make sure that you have a positive experience and awesome PEDICURE.!!!

Erica Cassidy I’ve always loved this place for my mani/pedi! My nail tech Kathy does my nails perfect every time, every shape I’ve got, she’s done excellent and she goes the extra mile for me and I love her for that! She isn’t too rough on messaging the legs when I get my pedi, always makes sure I’m comfortable and my water is perfect. She could almost put me to sleep. Never been rough, never grew a fungus under any nails. The other employees even when they’re walking around they still will acknowledge clients and give a hello or how are you! Pricing is reasonable!

Lexi Powers I went into Lux Nail Bar when I had a break at work after my nail broke. Its extremely uncomfortable for me when I have only one or two nails missing so I always end up ripping them off subconsciously. So it was nice when they said they could get me in right away. I also had them filled not even 2 weeks ago at another place and though the girl was very nice, she didnt assure that any of the acrylic that was popping up was removed and smoothed before filling so you could see the yellow and distorted lines in the middle of my nail. Andrew, my tech, explained that he would do his best to fix and seal them because lifting of the nail can lead to bacteria and mold if water gets in. He took his time to drill off the parts that needed to be fixed and filled them in. He was understanding that I didnt have time to get a new set and that I would have to do it next time. He worked with me to figure out how to hide the lines that he couldnt completely fix under the acrylic and did an absolutely amazing job on the French tip. He saved my nails! And I work in an environment where my appearance does mean something, so I was so very happy to leave with this set. I will definitely be coming back.

Jessica Medina Andrew did an amazing job on my Christmas nails! The shape, attention to detail and his ability to take my idea and make it a reality is truly incredible.

Drew Shannon Second pic is what I asked for. 1st one is what I got. They have a huge wall of colors but he told me they only had 4 browns to choose from and then he told me sorry ones being used so I only had these 2 colors. One basically looks black. When I first arrived he peeled my old nails off with an acrylic nail and it was painful- never seen this done they always soak them. Shape and design is way off. The nails were extremely thick and wide. All were different shapes, sizes and lengths. It felt extremely rushed as I saw him only put oil on 8 of my nails lol. I paid 67 for these plus I always tip. I decided to go back in the next day to ask them to take them off because I felt so embarrassed wearing them and they’re not what I asked for at all. I was so polite and even offered to pay. They made me explain it to literally 5 different people before they would seat me and fix it. And one of them was trying to make me point out the tech who did them which was very uncomfortable. The same guy told me nothings wrong with them they look just like the pic (if you truly believe that you’re in the wrong business). During me re-explaining it 5 different times they all talked in another language while looking at me making it very obvious that they were annoyed and talking badly about me. (Y’all aren’t sneaky and you’re extremely unprofessional). The girl who “fixed” my nails spoke to me once the entire time to say “clear color?” as she was already painting it on. I had to ask her to please fix the shape as she was just gonna repaint them. She didn’t ask me what I wanted at all. A very “let’s get this over with you’re a bother” attitude. And they’re still super crooked. Really bad experience. I would not recommend this place.

Haley Baker I’ve been here numerous times and my nails have always looked great, but I went today and they were a little busy so I don’t know if that’s what happened with my nails or if she didn’t know how to do a fill correctly. I didn’t really notice them until I stepped outside into the light but you can still see the color I had before and where the previous length of my nail begins which makes it look nasty and not clean at all.

Angelica Casanova Highly Recommend Daniela at Pensacola Vibar Nails who patiently did my nails after trying several colors to see which one suits me better. Patient, talented and very dedicated in what she do is how I will describe her work. Definitely worth the time and price when you get your nails done by Daniela

Vika Aberle Ve at Vibar Nails Pensacola is my girlllllll!!!! She is so sweet and patient and willing to try designs outside of her comfort zone to make me happy!! My Halloween nails are so unique and fun and I feel like I’m talking to my own Babushka during our sessions ❤️❤️❤️❤️ HIGHLY recommend setting an appointment and giving yourself a “treat-yo-self” day!

Averie Sawyer 10/10 experience! 100% recommend if you’re looking for someone who focuses on detail and nail health. She removed my acrylics gently and cleaned up my cuticles with no pain. I’m so happy with the results!!

Jennifer Rodriguez As someone who is quite particular about my nails, I was a bit nervous going in for a Russian manicure. I typically go for simple nude colors, but the shape is everything to me. Unfortunately, my initial results werent what I had hoped for, and I left feeling a bit disappointed. However, I spoke with the owner, who was incredibly understanding. Once Daniela took over, she worked her magic, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the final result! My nails turned out absolutely beautiful, perfectly shaped and just the right nude shade. I was genuinely moved to the point of almost crying when I saw how lovely they looked! I highly recommend Vibar nails—not only for their skilled technicians but also for their excellent customer service. Thank you, Daniela, for turning my experience around. I’ll be returning for my next appointment.

adeline Such a cute interior, nails last a long time, definitely recommend! It does take a while, but it’s worth it. All the employees are soo nice.

Fallon Earlington This is my second time here, and Im quite upset. I just paid $71 for a gel/powder fill on Thursday, and by Friday morning, one of my nails had already popped off. Im really frustrated because Im leaving for Texas soon and dont have time to get it fixed. Last time I got my nails done here, the technician asked me if I had eaten my nail. I felt like they were making fun of me because Im plus-sized. Regardless, I want to know what the explanation is for this nail falling off so quickly. Its ridiculous that this happened the day after they were done

Laurel Peoples I love getting my nails done here! My feet feel amazing and look great too! This is my second time and last time I brought my uncle and they remembered us and even asked when he was coming in with me next! So amazing! Thank you! I’ll be back in a couple weeks :)

Tifanie Smith Ben did amazing on the oldest acrylics, everyone was amazing and nice. We will be back

Victoria The nail techs and staff were super nice!! Equipment was great and it was very clean! However, my pedicure left a lot to be desired. I got the VIP pedicure and even though they went through all the steps, they were out of one of the special lotions, and the massage was kinda of lack luster and had a lot of smacking of my legs, I personally was just not a big fan. They didn’t offer us any drinks which is of course is not a requirement but just a nice touch. Then with my polish, I had to ask for a bunch more coats of the gel polish to match the sample I chose. The first time the tech called it done, it was uneven and translucent. She was very sweet about it and did as many coats as I wanted. She also however left a large uneven gap between my cuticle line and nail. It looked like I already had about a month of grow out. I came home and added polish so you wouldn’t notice so much. Lastly it’s chipped already and normally I can have gel polish on for months on my toes if I wanted, but this barely lasted two weeks. People were super kind though so had a hard time deciding on the stars to give. My friend’s polish looked better. I don’t know I would go back unless someone asked me to.

Christina Myerski I’ve been going to Mike for over a year now and my nails have never been healthier! I love the new “chrome hot nails” look. I am always a satisfied customer & appreciate the friendly customer service and convenient location. Love the brand new nail desks, chairs & lighting … thank you for taking great care @Bellagio

David I had an amazing experience at Bellagio. I came in for a manicure and pedicure for my wife, mom and me, and the staff made us feel right at home from the start. They were friendly, professional, and really paid attention to detail. The atmosphere was clean and relaxing, perfect for unwinding. My nails look fantastic – way better than I expected! I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend Bellagio to all my friends!

Lisa Williams Very clean business. Visited from Iowa on a vacating and Leon did a great job on my pink and white nails. He was very particular. He paid attention to the details. Thanks Leon.

Miranda Hammond Hannah was amazing I love my Disney nails! Took me in as a walk in. My pedicure was amazing! The nails turned out so cute

Ashley Malone My first time here and I loved it! The pedicure turned out wonderful and the foot massage was fantastic! Sophia did my fill and she is absolutely AMAZING, my nails turned out perfect great nail artist! Cannot wait to go back!

Countdown to Cancelled Today was my first visit. I will definitely be going back! Hannah did my nails and she did exactly what I asked for. I’be never been 100% satisfied with my nails but I can say that my experience today was more than 110%! Fast seating, clean environment, friendly people, top notch quality and pricing. I will definitely be going back anytime I get my nails done and sending everyone that way!!

Raquel Potts Went for the first time this weekend and they were fast, friendly and did a great job.

Grace Mingo The gentleman who tool care of me did a fantastic job! He precisely cut, filed, and dip-painted stiletto acrylics for me, and theyre beautiful. Shout out to Diva Nails - especially for being open on Sundays!

Chloe Mann I’m not sure what the man’s name who did my nails was, but he did a phenomenal job! Everything was really good and he was very nice! They even had a christmas tree up which I thought was super cute! They even gave me a free gift for christmas which was really sweet!

Perla Guerrero I absolutely love this nail salon! Nina always nail the design I want perfectly, no matter how detailed or specific it is. The shape is always on point, and their attention to detail is unmatched. The service is amazing—everyone is so friendly and professional. I leave feeling pampered and thrilled with my nails every time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch nail artistry and service!

Jo Reeves Lovely salon! Very clean, professional, and comfortable. I got a dip and pedicure - excellent work. Lots and lots of Beautiful colors too choose from for nails or toes. Very relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend this business.

KP Andrews I went in today to get a full set. After talking to the tech we agreed on doing an overlay. Everything was fine as far as the process. The design was the problem. I showed the tech my photo before we did anything at all. He didn’t say he couldn’t do it. Instead, he asked another tech who tried it on a tip to show him. He said “I do it my way.” He didnt ask me if I liked it or anything to make sure i was satisfied. Im not the person to cause a scene. But, if you’re saying you can do something you should be able to do it. I ended up going to Elegant nails to have the design redone. The first photo was my inspo. The second is what the tech at vanity did. The third is from when I went to elegant nails and had them fixed.

Reylina Dickens I love my nails! The shape, design, everything was exactly what I wanted! My set was $80 as they do charge for designs it seems. The pedicure was good nothing extraordinary but still nice! Edit: I’ve been going for a couple months now and I LOVE THEM! Tracy is my go to tech but all are talented! If you get designs the fill can be $80-$95 pricey but worth it

Misti Davison The employees were really nice and helpful. It is a very clean and peaceful environment. My nail tech was very sweet, patient, and kind. I love my nails and am happy overall, except for one thing. I decided to try the Gel X, and during application, I noticed that on my right hand, pointer finger, the extension did not adhere to my whole nail. The tech tried to add more gel from under since it was already applied, but it did not work, and I have a gap between my nail and the Gel X extension. For how much these cost, its really disappointing. I unfortunately did not notice that the tech trying to add more gel did not fix the problem until after I was home and looking at them.

Jessica Meisenzahl My normal nail salon was closed on Sunday so I decided to try the nail venue. I never complain about service, especially my nails. As long as they stay intact with the powder dip, I don’t complain. I’ve been getting my nails done for years. She filed my nails paper, thin and the powdered dip was not sticking. My nails have continually chipped over the last 12 hours after having them done and my nails are so paper thin I’m afraid I won’t have any left by in the morning.

Alivia C. I always get GelX nails here and they do such a great job everytime :) David has a great attention to detail and hes very sweet, he will not let you leave unsatisfied! Thank you for the nails!

Diana Pereira My teenage daughter received a manicure here the day before we were leaving for Disney. She was so excited! However, the tech did not want to wait since it was the end of the day and put the clear coat on before the original coat was dry. He told us it was dry and fine. Two hours after her manicure, it still wasnt dry and looked like the pictures. She was devastated! It didnt even last two hours even though we were VERY careful. We were unable to get it fixed because we were leaving the next day. We would love for the owners to contact us and make it right with her somehow.

Breanna Perry This was hands down the BEST experience I have had at a nail salon. I was a walk in today and Ben was my nail tech and he was wonderful. I had a picture off of google that I asked if he could do and Ben recreated it beautifully for me! Throughout the whole experience he was always checking to make sure I liked what he was doing. He was very gentle with my hands and I appreciate that so much! I’m definitely going back again! I LOVE how my nails turned out!

Amanda Kell I visited this salon for the first time today with my sister and we had a wonderful experience. Lana and Ben were our main stylists and they both did a great job with the acrylic sets we requested. They listened to our ideas and gave us both gorgeous unique acrylic full sets. The atmosphere of the salon is soothing and comfortable and everything was tidy and clean. We will definitely be back!

Cherrie M This is the best nail salon in Pensacola. I always get treated like family and they are very friendly and professional. Lana makes my eyebrows look fantastic. Ben does amazing acrylic nails. Tina is my go to. She’s amazing. If you’re looking for a regular salon to get your nails done and etc- this should be your go to place. Love them and their work!!!!

Alexis Tapia The service was good. I had a guy who was very nice, extremely quiet but he took his time doing my mani & pedi. The decor is very modern and nice. It appears very clean but it’s also new. It was quiet and they had music playing softly. I thoroughly enjoyed a massage with the chair. The manager/owner talked a little took much while I preferred to relax. She was friendly though. I noticed that she was over the workers shoulders and kept watching every thing they did which would bother me if I were an employee and I wouldn’t feel I was trusted to adequately do my job and as a customer it made me uncomfortable too.

Branko Stojsavljevic Very good nail salon. Walked in without an appointment and received service right away. Great job.

Shanice Rhinehart I got powder it’s so cute I highly recommend this place the staff is nice and respectful

Tracy Allenburg Everyone at Aqua Nails does beautiful manicures and pedicures. I have never been disappointed. The attention to detail is outstanding. Gel pedicures are perfect and long lasting. I got my first mani today with Angela and I dont think you can get better nails done anywhere else in Pensacola.

Lift My Soul "I absolutely love this nail salon! The staff is so friendly and professional, and they pay attention to every little detail. My nails always turn out perfect, and the atmosphere is so relaxing. If youre looking for top-notch service and a great experience, this is the place to go!"

Jacqueline M. The Service that I received at Aqua nails was unheard of Angela. The owner looked at my pictures and not only did she deliver the style that I was looking for she added her own touch and made that flower that you see on my ring finger like a magician if you wanna get your nails done and you want them to be flawed and looking like the picture and I don’t wanna get into how great my pedicure turned out, the perfect French manicure even my daughter from Atlanta says that she can get this done correctly so if you want your nails to look good, you better hurry up and get down here

Ronita Witherspoon The Nail Techs are great! They do amazing work. And exactly what you ask for. But the receptionist today had a slight attitude cause I was taking to long. Guess she was ready to be done with today or me. Other than that I highly recommend this nail shop.
