Top Best 8 Nail Salons in Hialeah, Miami-Dade (part 3)

Dina Roumeliotis Favorite nail place in Miami!! I’ve been coming here for over a year, I live in Hialeah so it’s closeby. I’ve gotten gel, acrylic and DIP. My nails always last 2 weeks and I get so many compliments. They do a great job!! Also lots of colors to choose from. I got acrylic with gel on top.

Elaine Pinillos-Angulo I stumbled upon this nail salon this morning. My daughter’s new school is nearby & I really needed a gel mani + pedi while I waited for her to get out. I absolutely loved it here. It’s calm, clean, decently priced, & my nail tech did an amazing job! They now have a new regular customer. Going back in a couple weeks & planning to continue :)

Mujer Virtuosa Very disappointed. About yesterday’s service. Unable to comunícate with language barrier. I am unhappy with the result of my nails. I feel like if its not expensive they don’t care about your natural nails. I have only washed my hands and the nail polish is gone Also I wanted my nails filed and he only did one nail, I had my nails done before in other places but nothing compares to this time. I think he was in a rush. I believe every customers nails results should reflect the professionalism of the person and the salon. My time and money wasted.

Dayanara Ramirez Haven’t been here in years, tried the place out because it was the only option open. A simple manicure and pedicure and they couldn’t even do it correctly. While doing my manicure I noticed their were leaving a big gap from the bottom of my nail ( very noticeable ), so I asked them if they can go all the way down. After they said they would I got completely ignored, the owners wife started ranting in their language for a straight 10 minutes because I guess it bothered her I asked ? When she wasn’t even doing my nails. Moving on to the pedicure, first they ask you if you want to cut your toes ( which is extra isn’t including in your pedicure) and they don’t even cut your toes ?? They literally pretend to. What a disgrace, this will be the last time coming here. Wouldn’t recommend. Open for so long I don’t even know how.

Ronald McDonald Huge fan of DK nails. I’ve been coming here since I moved to the area a few years back. I usually get dip or acrylic and it looks great for weeks!!

Kelly Rodriguez First time here over 20 yrs I was so glad to choose this place again they were so kind family organized make you feel good And they did a fantastic job on my toes and nails For sure I will be back

Kirchelle Rooks I love Randy on my nails he never disappoints…staff is super friendly

Martha305 _ Been coming for 8 years love Mimi and Kevin. I’ll wait just for them to do my nails and toes I don’t mind the waiting. If you want good quality then you wait and people need to understand it’s not easy running a shop with three small children and all by yourself in this country. I love the way Mimi does pedicures and how Kevin can do any design I ask him too. They are the best my loyalty to them has never changed. And if no one likes there kids there then go somewhere else it’s simple you don’t need to come on google to write any bad reviews. They are the best!

Aisha Felipe New owner! I definitely recommend this place. The new owner is very experienced in acrylic nail designs and my nails last about 3 weeks to a month!

Becky Reyes I used to go somewhere where it was really expensive to do my nails and I didnt feel welcomed there. Here I feel more comfortable and welcomed by the owners and other nail techs. They usually do an amazing job with my acrylics and if I feel like there isnt something I like then they fix it for me when I let them know or explain why it has to be done that way. The blonde nail tech does an amazing job with pedicures but she takes a very long time, but a good job in the end. The owners have young children that are sometimes in the shop, they tend to stay to themselves but just know, hope you like kids. Prices are decent for the work, of course I wish it was cheaper but being that this is right by my house and I have been going there for so long, its my best go-to nail salon.

Claudia B I absolutely LOVE this place. I started coming here because my good friend gave me a gift certificate . I was happily surprised and have been coming here ever since. My technician Erika is very professional. I love her work, but it is more than that. The staff is very nice and you even get coffee or wine when you come in for service. I never have to wait and they are very accommodating to my schedule. A must try..5 Stars for overall cleanliness and service as well. Happy Customer

Suaza giraldo I give this place one star because most staff, in general are nice. The owner Colombian lady lacks manners & customer service and unfortunately she is always there. There is not much variety of colors. The work done is ok not great. & for what they offer they are over priced. You can definitely get a better job & experience elsewhere for same price.

JL After reading reviews I decided to give this place a try. Nails were done well but I was harassed by one of the nail techs who I have never even seen in my life for the entire time I was there. She was mad because I kept my purse on me. Not sure why she got so mad. If I want to keep my crossbody on me, it is my right to. Spoke to the owner she said she would take care of it. I called today to make an appointment and the owner remembered me and told me that she’s never had any issues with the hostile tech and that the tech doesn’t even remember me or saying anything to me. I feel customers should be valued more. I had spoken to her about other services I wanted to try but after careful consideration, I prefer to spend my money in a place where I will be valued as a customer and feel comfortable. I paid $80 for my daughter and I to get a regular mani-pedi and I was feeling uncomfortable and insulted the whole entire time. Sad that a place with potential can be tainted by one lousy employee.

Damaris STILL A 5 STAR REVIEW. Ive been going here for a few years. I have yet to be disappointed. A hiccup here and there will not stop me from making this my one and only nail salon. Sonia is my #1 nail tech but I also like Erika and Reina. There isnt that chatter that happens at other nail salons. This is a friendly but professional place. Clean and orderly. This is not a cheap nail place but theyll cater to you and do a great job.

Linda Milien Ive Been going there over 10+ years. Don(Dung) always does my nails and hes amazing! Linda & Sandy as well but for a pristine pedi/Mani thats the place to go!

Maribel Galeano I have been now a long time customer at this location and extremely love this place. Linda and Don are beyond flexible

Nicole Ruiz They are really good and cheap. Just dont get the gel nail polish because they charge you $60 for it.

M Rodriguez Horrible and unprofessional. They pretend youre not even there once you go in, theres only like one person working for manis, one for pedis. And let me not even get started with how the place looks; disgusting and dirty.

Maggie Almonte-Ortiz Horrible Service, they get there super late. It doesnt matter how long youve been waiting they service whoever they want. Only 1 person doing pedicures, and shes very rough. You have to wait for hours! I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN!

Francisca Astrada I have been coming to Model Nails for years. The service is great, and I never leave unhappy. I highly recommend it. Keep in mind that to get a beautiful result, you must be patient. Prices are responsible. Thank you, Tony and Emy, you both ate the best! They have two ladies as well who do an amazing job with Manicure and Pedicures. (Claudia and Mary)

jenny ramas-suarez Best nail dressers in town. VERY professionals. I drive almost 30min out of my way just to go there. Ive been going there for many years and I dont see myself in any other place. Never had an issue. Im kind of conservative when it comes to my nails but once in a while Ill do some art in maybe a nail or two. Staff is nice and friendly. Cant be more pleased with service. If I could give them more stars I will do it.

Christopher Duran Owner had me come in and wait till someone was done to then be attended. While I was sitting someone walked in and said what she wanted. When he finished working on another lady he attended the woman who walked in after me and ignored me because I saw he looked at me knowing he passed me by. All I wanted was a manicure. Better going to Spanish owned nail salons

Alexis Morales This place is very good I went to see John and of course he did an excellent job again totally recommended and I forgot the nice ladies name who did my toes but she’s very amazing too. Hands-down totally recommended coming back.!

Jenni Lenis Today was my first time going there. I called that morning to make an appointment at 2PM and they were nice. The plaza is small and so is the salon. It was packed when I arrived but I was seated immediately with my technician. Her name was Virginia, super sweet older lady, very personable. I asked for a simple gel manicure. My first issue with her is that she cut too much of sides leaving them sensitive to the touch. She said I had too cuticle, and then I already had a cut on my thumb but instead of avoiding the area, she decided to cut the cuticle making my cut bleed. And then she cut me again on my pinky finger. My third issue, and I might be picky on this one, but that’s my opinion, she didn’t paint all the way to the tip or around the nail. I think she would benefit with more training. I was going to say something to management but honestly, after she took an hour doing a simple manicure, I just wanted to leave. My nails feel rough and sticky. All in all, I won’t be going back. Posted before and after pics and btw, tips are cash only.

Ana Castillo I love this place always clean amazing nails techs and great prices !!! Best in Hialeah

Laura Hernandez 9/6/2021 First time coming here and my experience was great. I came as a walk in with no appointment and the wait time was decent, nothing crazy. What I had done was regular pedi and dip mani. Jacob was very detailed and left my toes and hands looking fabulous and feeling brand new. Will be returning :) 7/22/2022 Updated review: I have done my nails here plenty of times about now. Still coming here and I always leave happy. I have now also done my nails with Lily, she is great! Everyone is really nice and accommodating.

Susan Araujo Katie did an amazing job on my mani pedi. She is fast, efficient, and her painting skills are great! She does a very good pedi.. she cleaned out my nails very nicely. I will definitely be back

M3k_A Amazing nail salon! They had good service. English isnt their first language, but they DO understand it well and speak it great. The old reviews on this from 6+ months ago are false and not true! They newly renovated their whole place and it looks great! They also incorporated a new item that lets you create your own polish color from this app!

Katerin M I really wish I could give this place a zero because they suck!! It was my first time going here and will never go back. The guy was super nice and all but did a horrible job, I asked for something and he did whatever he want it. And let’s not talk about the price.

Katelin Sarria Great nail salon! Amazing service very friendly and helpful. Great pricing as well. Their nail polishes are brand new and it doesnt smell bad. They have brand new equipment and new massage chairs with spa lights.

Kayla Gravenhise I came out here from NYC on a trip and i had a broken nail. They were not helpful at all. They didn’t speak English. They kept brushing me off saying u have to wait it’s people ahead of you. So i waited and waited. Then 30 mins go by I’m still waiting and another worker talks to me and asks what i need done. I explain it to me them & they tell me they don’t have the white acrylic i need for my nail to be fixed. What nail salon doesn’t have white acrylic?? I guess i wasn’t spending enough money for them and i wasn’t Spanish for them to work on my nail. Totally unprofessional and RACIST. They were also talking about me in Spanish and laughing at me, they figured because I’m black and don’t understand too much Spanish, that i was dumb and someone to play with. WRONG ONE. Do NOT waste your time and money on this place.

Isabel Laza After reading all the reviews I can understand why people are not happy most of the staff don’t speak or understand English and may seem rude. I was lucky that the tech I got did a great job. She used sanitized tools and knew what she was doing. Management/ Owner needs to hire staff to clean and organize the salon. Especially the nice hanging lamp in the entrance it has layers of dust. Sad because it could be a nice salon if owners would run it better.

Davdog Good afternoon. I hope this review finds you all well. My girlfriend visited this nail salon today October 14th at 02:00 pm. She was taken in as a walk in and that’s appreciated, but she was attended by someone who seemed to not have any experience at all or is potentially fresh out of nail tech school. My girlfriend went through a bad experience and it is as follows: 1-the nail tech did not use any sanitation while using the tools. 2-the nail tech failed to do a poor nail painting job by causing to spread paint outside my girlfriends nails. there was no clean up after. the nail tech said that my girlfriend can wash off her hands back at home. 3-My girlfriend had to constantly tell the tech to continue adding more layers of paint as if the paint was bad quality or had been watered down. 4-Eventually my girlfriend gave up after guiding the tech multiple times as to how she would like her nails to be and let the lady continue doing the job. My girlfriends anxiety levels are now going up. I understand this anxiety is not the salons fault. My girlfriend has anxiety which is something that many people suffer. she mentioned this at the moment of payment, that she does bite her nails at times, but that the nail job was poorly done and all she wanted to do was to express a concern with the most humble and quietness possible without causing a scene. The owner/manager did not think so. 5-The owner/manager of the nail salon was explained the situation and with the most unprofessional disgusting loud attitude stated, that the nail job was done greatly and that the reason why my girlfriend’s nails looked bad is due to herself. My girlfriend understands her anxiety issues. However, she experienced public humiliation when all she wanted to do was explain her experience in a quiet professional matter without making a scene, yet, the owner/manager handled my girlfriends concern with a very loud voice and drew attention toward them which is what my girlfriend wanted to avoid. The owner asked her to show her the nails and she expressed that they looked great. Then she asked her to show her her feet in front of everyone so that she can judge and provide her opinion publicly. This made it impossible to tend to my girlfriends concern. My girlfriends anxiety went up the roof and returned home with almost a full panic attack and anxiety. According to my girlfriend, even the front desk person appeared to be embarrassed toward the response of the manager. The times of great service are long gone. The times to take care of a customer are long gone. There is no longer any empathy towards the people. My girlfriend paid the whole service. We don’t need a refund. What we want is a little more courteous behavior, not someone speaking loud as an animal for the whole store to know the small concern my girlfriend had. I highly suggest you revisit your sanitation policy, and customer service/managerial skills. An experience that I believe women look forward to, and consider therapeutic, ended in a disaster. People may say they are just nails. I would say it is important to provide great service. Businesses will fail due to poor service and unfit personnel. You have to wow the customer and it starts with the head of the establishment. I will not mention any names but you must know by now who I am referring to. As I mentioned, my girlfriend does have anxiety and she bites her nails at times, potentially making her nails to not look amazing. Yet, we’ve seen her nails done correctly and there is a difference… even if she bites them. Please see pictures attached to this review. The first two pictures are her nails done well. The other set of pictures are the nails done today at Unique Nails in Westland mall. P.s. the main concern about all of this is not the quality of the nail job, but how it was handled at the end by someone who is suppose to be supportive and empathetic toward their customers. Thank you. Regards.

Diana Moreno I came in to get a pedicure, waxing on my face. And my eyebrows cleaned up a bit they where nice but when it came to my eyebrows they messed it up the lady tool out way more then she was supposed to and messed the shape of my eyebrows and then didnt bother showing me them till I left and I had saw it in the mirror

Emma Johnson Went here for a pedicure today and the tech cut several of my cuticles too short causing them to bleed. She didn’t take any hygienic steps to remedy it or apologize. I had to perform wound care on myself later in the day. Additionally she used tools and brushes that were not from a new or sterile package like I’ve seen at other salons. Causing for concern about the chances of getting an infection or blood borne pathogen from here. Overall I wouldn’t recommend going here unless you want to spend an additional $15 at CVS on antiseptic and Neosporin.
