My nail came off 2 days after i git them done. Worst nail shop ever. They need to learn how to do nails the right way. But the employees are very nice.

These are very nice people and I went to them for over a year when I lived close by. I will be honest and tell you that I preferred to have the husband do my nails because he did a great job and no pain. I went about every two weeks for fills and I think the wife was jealous (without any good reason) and she got upset with him (and I could hear it even though different language) every time he would do my nails. It became not worth it to go there any longer and the drama. The wife was rough when she did my nails and charged extra...no clue why.

So I tried this place out because it had a 5 star review. My experience in no way reflected anything close to 5 stars. I walked in to get a fill-in where I was asked to pick a color, as with all salons, and have a seat. When the woman came over to do my nails I thanked her for fitting me in because they closed soon. She did not reply. She sat down and began working with out a word. She did not ask if I wanted a trim down, which I did. I said so and she ignored my request. She then went on to filing my nail bed so far down I was practically burning from the heat and pressed so hard when filing off my cuticles that I was bleeding. She showed NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of this even though I clearly flinched every time she broke skin. Which of course made the pain even worse as she put on the acrylic, paint, and acetone to remove the excess. I couldn't wait to leave. The only words that came out of her mouth were, "pay now". Absolutely ridiculous! They charged me $25 for the worst service of my life and I had scabs for nearly two weeks! Do not go here!

Must try them out if you are new to town. Best price, great pedicures and friendly service in Gainesville!

It's hard to find a really good nail salon that has a staff with super friendly personalities! I just moved here from south Florida, am in clinics at UF, and barely have any time to myself. I called them right before closing and they still said come on in, did an amazing job on my french shellacs and french pedi, and even my eyebrows! Would recommend them to all my friends : )
