Daisy Morris A very kind woman prepped my nails while the man who did my nails (I think the manager) was finishing up another guest. I would be fine with this normally but it seemed she wasn’t trained in putting tips on and she struggled through it. She was very sweet, but she glued two of my fingers together and it was made me very anxious and it hurt. She also cut me with the drill. I would have been happy just to wait for the nail tech who does full sets to apply the tips. It took at least fifteen minutes to get through the tip application process alone. When he began on my nails he hardly said to words two words to me and he cut me with the drill twice in the same spot I was initially cut. He did not address it or apologize until he buffed over it with his dirty buffer. I am really unsure of the sanitary practices at this place. He finally apologized and he did apply an antiseptic. I was literally tearing up because it hurt and I was incredibly anxious at this point. He continued the silent, awkward service without even allowing me to check the shape. He was also very rough moving my hands around. In my opinion, my nails look terrible and they have no apex and they are likely to break. They are lumpy and I just hate them. I give myself zero stars for not stopping the service when I knew it wasn’t going well and I definitely would give this salon a -1 if I could.

Ashley Nelson I have been to 4 different salons. This hands down is the best one I’ve been to! The salon is clean. Mike took his time, and made my nails look so good! It’s always hard trying to find a salon in Gainesville that actually cares about the nails and is a good price. The cost of my nails as a fill and him changing color was $53 without tip. They just got a return customer!! Thanks Mike! Will be recommending to all my friends

Dreezy Best nail shop experience ever! At one point, I had two nail techs doing my nails at the same time. One working on my hands and one finishing my pedicure. The techs were so kind and uplifting, one in particular called me a queen twice. They also gave me some snacks, made great conversation and even had us laughing. They are just joyful people. They speak to you soon as you come through the door, they are transparent about their prices, and also offer waxing services. This was my first time at the shop but I saw some of their regulars come in and they treated EVERYONE with the same respect. Amazing job!

Candace Cosgrove I asked for a deluxe pedicure with gel. Ms. Angela was great and took her time with the actual pedicure. When it was time to pay the guy that works there said my total was $75. I asked did that include tip because a deluxe pedicure is $50 and gel polish add-on is $15. He stated that those were old prices and that I needed to ask him next time before I get a service done how much it cost. I explained to him that if those arent the prices he should take the sign down. He then started to be very rude and started yelling because I told him Im only paying $65 because thats what the sign says.

Jordan adam This was the worst experience I have ever had. I am new to the area and looked up reviews online to find a nail shop. I called the day before to make an "appointment" so that I wasnt just a walk-in. From the minute I walked in and knew something was off because they seemed surprised I was there even though I had called and explained on the phone what I was coming in for. I explained to the guy what I needed done and he assured me he could do it. I sat down and he almost cut my natural nails with my SNS still on them - which no one has ever done because it is not good for your nails. I calmly explained to him that they were my natural nails and not tips - I didnt want my nails cut, I just wanted them filed because they had grown since my last appointment. Throughout the appointment, he kept assuring me that my nails would be beautiful and I am all for trusting the process. Towards the end of the appointment, I knew this appointment was the biggest mistake. I came in with beautiful almond shaped natural nails and left with my nails being a weird rounded shape, all different lengths, and the worst nail design I have ever seen. I wanted some small flowers and these look like abstract fireworks a 5 year old drew. It took everything within me not to cry at his table and I still payed $50. It took the guy two hours to ruin my nails. The moment I got to my car I cried I will NEVER go back to pro nails. I have already made an appointment at another salon in town and they have assured me that they will take care of me. I am hoping that by writing this review I can save someone else the time and money I wasted. I wouldnt have gone here in the first place if the reviews online hadnt been positive. The first picture is the design I showed him and the other pictures are what I received.

Bella I got dip powder and my nail broke within a week, plus the others have chipped and broken off shortly after. I paid $60 for this so it was extremely disappointing. Also, they tore up my nail beds and made my fingers bleed while getting the manicure. Would not recommend.

Ebony Robinson If you are looking for an Artist who takes pride in her work and the relationship with her clients, I highly recommend you book with Tori. She offers a great experience, great vibes and even advice if your are having a bad day and need to vent. In regard to her work, Tori is extremely talented and extremely creative. Her work speaks for itself and her nails last a long time without lifting unless you’re rough like myself.

Evelyn Schentrup My nails were already lifting after 4 days. I purposely tried to preserve them by not getting my hands wet after getting them done, not putting too much pressure on the nails, etc. The last straw was when my nail tore off along with my natural nail bed, causing me to bleed. In addition, there were a lot of small problems immediately after getting them done. The sides of the nail had random spots where the white wasn’t covering it. They got acrylic on my cuticles and skin leaving it irritated for almost a day after i had to take it off. The nails were crooked and i had to spend about an hour filing them straight and touching up the white. There are bumps in the polish, most likely air bubbles. The nail glue stuck to my skin and took almost a day to get rid of.

Shavonne Alston My 14 year old daughter is a nail biter. Tracy gave her some tips on how to stop biting her nails and to get them to grow. My daughter wanted acrylics but Tracy told her the nails won’t stay on because her nail was way too short. I appreciated her honesty and for not just taking our mone and the nails fall off after a few days. My daughter has let her nails grow and was finally able to get acrylics, Her nails are still really short but Tracy was able to give my daughter the look she was going for. Thank you Tracy!!

Kanika Copeland DON’T GO HERE!!!!! The male nail tech does not know how to polish well. I asked him several times to redo the polish because of how sloppily and carelessly he polished them. I originally wanted French manicure polish but after several failed attempts, I chose a solid color hoping that he would be to apply a solid color neatly. Because he reapplied my polish so many times, the back of the nails still had remnants from previous attempts. I was also charged an additional $5 for “cutting and shaping” my nails but I think that he added the fee because he assumed that he wouldn’t be receiving a tip. Though the service was awful, I tipped him anyway. After reading the reviews, I noticed a commonality among those who left bad reviews. I feel as though they purposely give bad service to certain people to ensure that we do not return. This is their way of targeting a specific demographic.

Jenny K TERRIBLE. BAD SERVICE - WORST PEDICURE I EVER RECEIVED. My first and last time ever going to "happy nails." Literally cut my toenail down to the quick so it bled. No apology because the man spoke zero english. Continued to attempt to "fix" it by filing which made me cringe and feel extreme discomfort. I told him to stop. They charged me the full $30. AVOID THIS PLACE. UNHYGIENIC. DONT KNOW WHAT THEYRE DOING. DISGUSTING.

Lolianne Rivercat Shady practices. I went in to get a manicure. I agreed to pay $35 for gel. She hands me a wash tub full of samples, probably 8-10 rings of them. Then when I picked out a color she said that would be extra. So I asked which ones are for $35? This woman picks out ONE sample ring and takes the rest of this big bin away from me. So.... You quote a price, say where to pick from, and then 90% of those options cost more?? No thank you. 0/10 do not recommend. Edit to reply: Im not stupid, and it has nothing to do about prices "back in the day". My issue is that I was quoted a price, I agreed to that price, and then the underhanded attempt to squeeze in the extra charge.

Adrianna Ragwah As someone that was referred by a friend, I made an appointment with Anna. After waiting 30 minutes, I was instructed to go to Cassie. I expected my expectations to be met however they were not. Though Cassie was very kind and tried her very best, I was not happy with my dip nails and I was still charged full price. I’m not sure why I wasn’t given to Anna as my appointment was specifically with her (which I mentioned multiple times), however what I paid for the designs were not worth it. They were not precise and they my nails were clumpy after the designs. My toes, which has never ever happened before were clumpy and not filed straight as well. They had specks of my nails which showed that the nail wasn’t smooth before being painted. Sadly disappointed with my services however, workers are kind. Edit: My nails ended up breaking and chipping in less than a week. I ended up going back on for repair and Anna accommodated me. Her designs were precise and cleaner. She was so very sweet and her work is absolutely amazing — she served amazing customer service!

Keisha Echols Went in while in town for a quick visit, needed a pedicure/gel polish and dip powder redo for my nails. Should have gone elsewhere. The powder job on my nails is not smooth, she didn’t clean my nails well, and didn’t take the powder evenly to the base of my cuticles across my nails. I didn’t want to embarrass the tech so I called immediately after walking out to request a portion of the money paid; they refused. Offered for me to come back so they could “fix it” but I communicated several times while she was in the process of doing my nails that they did not look finished. Not to mention that my daughter and I had already spent two hours in the nail salon, and my daughter was hungry and tired. Pedicure was also not good; it was rushed and quick, “massage” was all of five seconds. Too many other salons in the vicinity to waste your time, and money, here. Walk a few more steps or drive another minute away for better treatments and services. Bad business. I would not recommend.

Adriana Sanchez My daughter went here today per her roommates suggestion. Unfortunately, she had a terrible experience. Not only were the gel nails thickly applied and lumpy, the technician failed to cut the cuticle and left polish all over the skin. Despite her dissatisfaction, she still left a 20% tip. She immediately called me from the car and explained the situation. I told her to go back in and ask them to remove the gel nails. The owner was rude and refused, and told her the paint would come off in the shower. She ended up going to Venus nail salon and they fixed her nails for $10 plus tip. My college age daughter does not recommend this nail salon.

Naomi Ellis My friend recommended this place. I came in on Saturday at about 1pm. They got me in right away which was great. I paid for a manicure and a pedicure. I matched the gel polish to the dip powder (they do not match as closely as I thought they should but that’s not a huge issue, my toes are much darker than my fingers). It cost me $120, not counting the 20% tip I gave to her as well. Unfortunately by that night my right thumb nail broke. They’re closed on Sunday so I waited until they opened on Monday morning to come in. They said they didn’t have someone to fix it and it would be a thirty minute wait but after we agreed to wait they had the young lady who did my original set on Saturday fix my thumb. Now since I was just here a couple days ago I know how talented she is. I love this set. The color and shape are perfect. However she did not spend the same time and attention to detail this go around. My right thumb now is significantly thicker, darker, and even crooked especially compared to how symmetrical the rest of my set is. I offered to pay for the repair as I don’t believe anyone should work for free but was turned down. She made a comment while repairing my thumb that I should just do acrylics without the powder dip. That since my natural nails are short that’s why it broke. Please note I did not blame anyone for my broken nail neither did I expect free service to have it fixed. I know I’m not exactly a nail connoisseur however I’ve been getting my nails done consistently since the pandemic lifted restrictions. I’ve only had a nail break like this one time before and that was about a week after I had them done and at a different salon. This length is pretty normal for me and I’ve never had this issue. Regardless, my experience Saturday was wonderful which makes today so much more disappointing. I know she was capable of doing a much better job then what she did today and chose not too. Because of this I will be taking my business elsewhere. Included are pictures of my set and my repaired nail for a comparison. I apologize for the quality of photos as it does look worse in person.

Weilling Chen I got a deluxe pedicure that was $50. It was not good at all. It said there was callus removal, but there were no callus removal gel, just the standard scrubber. The technician was so lazy so barely scrubbed. The massage was horrible. She kept scratching the bottom of my foot with her nails and rubbing the exact same spot. When I asked her to massagey calf instead on rubbing the same spot on my foot, she gave an unwilling glare. Her polish technique was really bad too. She painted outisde of my nail and used too much polish in just one layer by over painting so it dripped off to the side of the nail onto the skin. The salon also didnt have a proper nail drying station. The station was six feet wide but had only two mini 4 inch wide portable fan, one on each end, as the drying fan. I sat there for 30 minutes with my feet right next to the fan and it could t even dry one later of polish. Definitely would not return!!

Rebecca Hearton I have had many great gel manicures here from various techs and my issue is not with the bad one i just received. My issue is when I showed it to the staff and that the polish didnt cover the whole nails and that it was globular in some areas, she tried to insist that it was satisfactory and thats just the way a gel polish look. Very nice people but dont like that they try to pass this as professional work. Unfortunately because of that I wont be coming back.

deAnna Petruch When I tell you that Kenny went above and beyond to make my girl feel beautiful, it is not an exaggeration! He absolutely killed both of our nails, and we had an amazing experience! We will definitely be back because they were so gracious and accommodating! I will recommend them to everybody that I know!

Michaela Colin Love Nails Spa is amazing! Kenny took such good care of my nails. I wanted a basic manicure and came in with very uneven nails since some had broken, but he asked me what I wanted, really listened, and evened them out so they all looked uniform. He cured them really well and his paint job was great. PLUS he gave an awesome hand massage. First time in & I’ll be making it my go-to place from now on :)

Cheryl Lore My mother and I have been loyal patrons of Love Nails for years, visiting monthly for some top-notch pampering. Everyone at the salon is absolutely wonderful, making each visit a delight. This last time, we treated ourselves to pedicures too, and oh, were they fantastic! The big massage chairs are so comfy—they practically swallow you up in the best way possible. We both opt for dip powder manicures and have consistently walked away with flawless results. Can’t wait for our next visit!

bby peach waste of $70. i really did not like my experience here. i picked a purple shaded color and i got a nude. (107) the nails weren’t even fully coated and the service was rushed. the design was fine but i’m just really upset with the color. i told the lady it wasn’t the same and she did nothing about it. the lady’s were nice at least.

She takes her time to do a very detailed job that anyone would be delighted to come back for. 200% super recommended. Call Karina and schedule your appointment today. Come get that traditional dominican pedicure and manicure youll love forever.

Christine Engels It is a great place to do your nails and eyebrow waxing. The staff is very friendly and professional and take time to get the job done well. If you feel like having a small glass of wine, coffee, tea or water, they serve your wish to you- and provide snacks to go along with. The place is small and cozy, which I like a lot. It is well decorated and extremely clean and comfortable. All in all it is a magnificent experience. I always look forward to doing my nails at Karina’s !

Nancy No nonsense nail salon, basic interior, relatively clean. You get what you ask for and not anything more. This was my first time getting dip powder and I brought pictures for reference. I think it was Tungs wife who did my nails and she did a good job. I asked that she not add any tips onto my natural nails since I work in the medical field. She was understanding and the end result has been the longest lasting manicure Ive ever gotten. However, she didnt even clean under my nails in terms of regular nail care. Prices seem reasonable.

Chris Clark They always do a great job on wifes nails. They last and dont fall off before its time for a fill (and shes VERY rough on her hands). They also do an amazing job on her eye brows. My wife naturally has no arch to her eyebrows but they worked their magic when waxing and made her eyebrows have a arch and they look phenomenal! Best theyve ever looked!!! By far the BEST pedicure Ive EVER had!!! DEF recommend Classy Nails for all your nail/waxing needs!! Everyone is VERY friendly. Great selection on colors and designs.

Jennifer Ponce Came in as a walk in on a Friday 12/1 pm and had about a 25 minute wait. Staff was so friendly and they helped recommend a color since I was between two. Writing a review two weeks later because my gel manicure is still in tip top shape and I work in healthcare! Would definitely recommend this salon for their quality services, affordable pricing, and overall for providing a positive salon experience! 1st picture is two weeks after my first gel mani there! Phenomenal!! :)

Dawn Pelham I got a pedicure it was nice, but I also wanted to get a wax and it didnt look like they had enough staff so I just ended up leaving. I went back again and over the last year or two they have added new options to their pedicure selection. I got the new on with the collagen and I get the foot wax at the end. I must say, I really enjoyed the pedicure it was nice and relaxing and the massage was very good. I did leave a nice tip and I really took pleasure in the whole experience. There was plenty of staff. I recommend going on a day during the week instead of a weekend, because its not as busy and the nail technicians arent rushed. If you decide to visit they have a selection of alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks.

Stacie Johnson I used to have some great thoughts about this place before my last visit. The day before my renewal ceremony, I was surprised with money to get my nails done. Due to previous experience there, this place was where I wanted to go- NOT ANYMORE. The guy that did my toes took advantage of the fact that I was on the phone with with family and friends (mind you, I also had my 4 year old daughter with me) to make sure the ceremony was going to go as planned and he charged me $12 more as well as gave me services that I did not ask for, even after I had already told him that I did not want the service he was offering to me. The gentleman that did my finger nails was so sweet and seemed to be very excited for me and I appreciate him for that. His graciousness though isnt enough for me to go back ever again though. So, when you go get your nails done here, dont get distracted by anything else, pay attention to what some of them maybe trying to do.

Love Carr I really enjoyed my experience. I got a gel mani, pedi and an eye brow was. Im really careful because I love to grow my natural nails and they treated my nails like I would treat them. I also dont like thin brows, I only get a clean up and they did EXACTLY what I asked for.

Michaela Colin Swan Nail is AMAZING. I got a pedicure from Swan herself and she is so kind & we had a great time talking & laughing. You can tell she genuinely cares for people. Shes also efficient, I was in the chair for less than half an hour and she did a beautiful job. Another woman came in after me and was also in and out for her pedicure in under 30 mins. The paint dries super quick, too. The prices are great & the place is super clean, I’ve never had one nail salon that I always go to, but now I will!
