A Royal Pampering is the best! I have been a client for over 5 years. Paula and Victoria are amazingly nice, and I am continually impressed by the high bar of excellence and level of detail in their work. Their pedicures and gel manicures are impeccable. Highly recommend! read more

I was really optimistic about my visit here based on the Yelp reviews but couldn't help being a little disappointed in the experience. Priscilla was friendly and did a good job on my pre-wedding gel manicure and pedicure, and I didn't mind that it took longer than most mani/pedis I've had, as she paid attention to detail. What I found distracting, however, was what I believe to be the owner's frequent cell phone use. I overheard what sounded like a rather argumentative personal conversation during my manicure. During my pedicure, she was working on a pedicure a couple seats over, and took at least two phone calls during that service. In addition, I also heard her debating with the person receiving the treatment about what the person had booked; I'm not sure of the situation's details there, but it was a bit awkward to be sitting so close to. I hope to give this place another chance the next time I am in town to see whether my experience that day was a fluke. read more

My first time at A Royal Pampering and I was thoroughly impressed. Priscilla took care of me. I was running late and it was not a problem for her. She was very professional and detail oriented and I now have very happy feet. Will definitely be a regular. read more

A Royal Pampering is one of those places that you really wouldn't find on your own unless 1) by word of mouth OR 2)searching on Yelp. I've kinda hopped, skipped and jumped from spa to spa over the years trying to find a nail technician I click with. It's not always about the actual service for me. If you're going to sit for an hour you might as well find someone you can chit chat with. Well Paula seems to be that gal for me! I heard about her through word of mouth and decided to do some Yelp investigating. I was impressed by the consistent 5 star reviews and decided to make an appt. I used the message feature on their Yelp page but after not hearing anything for a few days, I decided to call her. She picked up right away and was able to accommodate me for one of the 2 days I was available. I do advise getting to the location a little early as it's quite tricky to find. It's located in an unmarked pinkish office building and if you are familiar with Fairbanks you know what a pain it is to make a sharp turn across traffic. There's one entrance that you can enter to park in the back. If you're coming for any appointment after 5pm , you will need to call/text Paula since the door is locked after hours and she would have to let you in. The space is a one woman operation and it's small, but cozy. There's a room for massages and waxing and another small sitting room for nail services. Paula started with my brow waxing . She has you lie down on the massage bed for this. I was impressed by how precise and meticulate she was. She would kneel and double check her work from all angles before handing me the mirror to make sure everything was to my liking. The pedicure was relaxing and just what I needed after a long, workday. She doesn't have a traditional pedicure chair but , instead, uses a copper tub for you to soak your feet before she royally pampers them! Seriously, the time she took just on my cuticles was insane! I don't think I've ever gone anywhere where they have really taken the time that she did. And all with a positive attitude and great conversation?! I love her nail color wheels she created to pick a color of polish. Instead of standing at a wall staring at colors, she gives you a basket of color wheels so that you can sit , relax and decide without being rushed. It's really genius if you ask me. No need to have cash here as she has one of those squares for her phone to take credit cards. Pricing is on par for a nicer spa experience. My total was $60 for a pedi and brow/lip wax before tip. She is available by appointment only(texts are best) and offers nail services, massages and waxing. She is also open to hosting date nights and mentioned that she's had couples bring wine and light bites and get pedis and massages. While she is limited in how many people she can take on for an appointment- you really will get her one on one attention with no interruptions. I'm really thrilled that I discovered her and can't wait to go back. I already shared her info with close friends because I think she's that great! read more

Love Paula's services! First, she replies to messages very quickly and is willing to accomodate a demanding schedule. Second, her Brazilian bikini wax is absolutely best. She is gentle, uses high quality wax. No redness, no bumps, totally worth is! And her friendly personality is exacly what I need when coming into a salon, you are a friend here, not just a client. I keep coming back! read more

I am so so so excited fellow yelper Cecille R. recommended A Royal Pampering and now I'm glad to pass that on! Paula is a one woman show who waxes, massages and does nails. She has an incredible personality and puts you at ease the moment you walk in the door. She's great at reading people and knows when I'm in the mood to talk about life, the universe and everything else or need some silence to relax. Paula is also METICULOUS in everything she does and while this means you won't be in and out, it is well worth your time. My gel manis and pedis have been gorgeous and lasted 2+ weeks and a month respectively. I haven't personally tested her artistic skills but I know she is willing to try almost any picture you bring in and I have seen some of the cool art she has done, from football mascots to holiday designs. My eyebrow and lip wax also came out beautiful and have lasted longer then my typical ones, as she made sure to wax the hair in each individual direction that it was going. Talk about attention to detail. Her current office is not your typical salon, but she has done an awesome job of re-purposing a small office into her private studio. It has a separate room for waxing/massages, an area with couches for your pedi and a front room for manis. I love getting to sink into a plushy couch and dip my feet into a copper bowl, rather then the traditional salon chair/hot tub combo. Since she runs this all on her own, you have her undivided attention during your session which is something you won't realize you've been missing until you've tried it. And even though she can only do one person at a time, she will gladly let your friend or partner hang out with you until it is their turn and enjoy some bubbly in the mean time! The best part is, her prices are comparable to everything else around town and I promise you are going to get a much better treatment and finished product here. read more

A Royal Pampering - French Gel mani and the copper tub used for pedicures - Nail Salons Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

I cannot live without this place. Strong words, I know, but so true! I have gone to other places to have my nails or eyebrows done, and after meeting Paula and getting the royal treatment for the past four years, I have come to the conclusion that there is no one better out there. Here's why: 1. Paula is a talented massage therapist (love those as well), nail artist, and waxer. I get compliments on my eyebrows and nails all the time from friends, strangers, and coworkers, and I always feel great about how I look after my monthly services. 2. A Royal Pampering is a place I can go to truly relax and unwind. It's a calming, clean, relaxing environment and very quiet. Unlike other salons, I am the ONLY person getting my nails done during my appointment, so I can just enjoy myself and not feel rushed or bothered by anyone else. As a client, you always have Paula's undivided attention as she works to make you feel your very best! It's truly time for myself and so luxurious. I look forward to it each and every time. 3. Paula is always looking into the latest techniques, technologies, and the best ways to serve her clients. For example, she is about to start offering micro blading services to her clients, and the results thus far look amazing! 4. Most importantly, Paula is extremely personable and kind. She is easy to talk to and not someone you need to be embarrassed in front of. Case in point: my husband, who has never had nails or anything like that done before and never felt comfortable doing so, went with me to Paula for his first ever services. She did everything she could to make him feel comfortable and never go beyond his comfort level. No matter what your situation, I would trust her with any service. read more

Total hidden gem recently joined Thornton Park! Got a pedicure here and it was such a pleasant experience. No nail salon fumes or attempts at upselling. Best thing! It is only 2 blocks away from me! Love the unique space, it's like walking into someones cozy home. read more

Paula has moved to a new and bigger space since I left Florida. The new space is fantastic, but most importantly, the service is still the absolute best. She takes appointment only, so that you can get the service you need at the time you plan for. Paula is the most attentive to detail of anyone I have ever been to. She takes her time and makes sure your nails and brows are exactly as they should be. She cares about her clients, remembers all our needs, and makes us laugh, as well. If you want walk-in, assembly-line nails, this is not the place for you. But if you want individualized attention to detail, you will be thrilled you found Paula. Also: no acrylics, so no worry about that toxic smell. She also gives a masterful massage and microblading. read more

Well done. Pleasant and clean ambiance. Not rushed, attentive, careful with details. Exceeded expectations. read more

I have never had such a great pedicure and an education on feet pampering. Paula was very attentive to my feet and made me feel very comfortable in which I have a hard time doing this. Thank you Paula for the great treatment. read more

Paula at A Royal Pampering is the most meticulous nail tech I have encountered. She listens and she works to give you the customized experience you expect when you're going to a business owner for your service. The salon is comfortable and inviting. Stephanie, her nail technician is polite and courteous. There are many salons in town, but I won't settle for less than the best, so Paula is it for me. Thanks, ladies for doing great work! read more

I had the pleasure of having Paula do my nails for a wedding and it was an incredible experience. She's so personable and has an impeccable attention to detail. Cant wait to have the luxury of going to get my nails done again. Cheers Paula, to many more years of continued success!! read more

Paula with A Royal Pampering is by far the best Spa I have EVER been to. She is the first massage therapist I have found who actually takes her time and really owns her art while utilizing and incorporating western remedies. Not to mention amazing at waxing and nails!! I am one of the pickiest people on earth but have never had a single complaint ever and I've been seeing her for 3 years +. I HIGHLY recommend Paula to everyone I know - always! :0) read more

I just started coming to A Royal Pampering. It was my first pedicure experience after the Covid shutdown. The salon is big and clean! It is usually just me and maybe one other person in there. Paula gave me the BEST pedicure ever! It was not rushed, and the massage and hot towels were lovely! I highly suggest you give it a try! Thanks Paula read more

I have been to countless nail salons in my lifetime. A year ago, I got my nails don't at my go-to salon and ended up getting a finger fungus that took a year to get rid of completely...and a costly dermatologist appointment. Needless to say, I was ready to swear off nail salons for good. I had a few friends recommend A Royal Pampering before I gave up completely. I am SO glad I gave them a shot. I decided last minute to get my nails done for my wedding anniversary, which meant trying to Boone the night before and getting them done first thing the next morning. Linda came in before her shift technically started in order to accommodate. That was my first "wow". As soon as I walked into the salon, I felt like I was a welcomed friend and not just another customer. Linda is an excellent conversationalist and incredibly knowledgeable in her craft. She helped talk me through exactly what I was looking for, and spent focused time making each nail perfect. There was no pain, no fear of getting cut by a file, and no scraping off of my nail....all regular experiences at other salons. She told me what she was going to do before she did it, which was amazing. Furthermore, and for me, most importantly, the place is CLEAN. The tools they use come right out of the sterilizing solutions right in front of you. I felt like I was in one of those small-town salons you'd see in something like Steal Magnolias, where you just sit and chat with your girlfriends while getting beautified. Paula and Linda, thank you both. I'm so glad I don't have to swear off getting my nails done after all! Next visit, I'm bringing the hubby and we are getting pedicures! Can't wait!! read more

A Royal Pampering - Nail Salons Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

I saw my sister in law get her eyebrows microbladed by Paula. It gave me the nerves to try it myself. And let me tell you I am so happy I did! Love Paula. She is amazing. Spends so much time explaining the process and answered every question I had. She did an amazing job and my eyebrows looks so natural. Her technique is beautiful.... and she does a great job using the best products and has definitely done her research knowing what creams to use and the right type of blade. They look exactly the way I want them to. I could not be happier! I can't wait to come back for my touch up next year!! read more

I had a great experience here! I got a gel manicure that was perfect, and got my underarms waxed. Paula is amazing, and just such a lovely person. I cannot recommend this spa enough! read more

Amazing. Got cupping done for the first time because so was so stressed out and it was a huge relief. Will be back for sure.

A Royal Pampering is certainly a jewel in a city full of salon rubble. Paula was able to accommodate me for a same day appointment to do a basic manicure. If you're looking for a quiet, private setting with a down to earth technician, this is the place to go. I would certainly return for repeat services and recommend her to others. You've experienced the rest. Now treat yourself to the best! read more

A Royal Pampering - Manicure with nail strengthener. - Nail Salons Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

Paula is simply glorious! I was on a hunt for an awesome place to get a pedicure, I have found it. Her studio is cute, clean, and private. I usually get a pedicure and a gel manicure with her. Manicures: The gel last a long time, does not chip or do weird things to my natural nails. I simply do not have to worry about the way my nails will look, her attention to detail and magic hands make the experience wonderful. Pedicures: Disclosure I play soccer so I am hard on my feet and worse on pedicures. Her pedicures last 4 weeks for me. Regular pedicures not gel, as she will tell you, if the pedicure is done right you don't need gel. Anywhere else I usually chip or the polish just plain rubs off. This has never happened with Paula's pedicures. Aside from the quality she actually gives a real foot massage with the pedicure. No banging or overly light touch where I'm left wondering what is the point of you touching my feet? Just pampering that makes the hour long time investment for the pedicure totally worth it and something I look forward treating myself to. read more

A Royal Pampering - Regular pedicure after Paula has worked her magic on my feet. - Nail Salons Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

There are not enough good things to say about Paula, so I won't even try!!! She is amazing at everything she does! I've been using gel polish for almost 10 years now and I have never found someone that does as good of a job as she does! I was out of town getting my nails done and it took the lady almost 45 minutes to get my gel nails off that she did for me 3 weeks prior!!! Needless to say, her no chip jobs, don't chip!!!! :) Also, she has tons of fun add-ons like rhinestones, stamps, and will try just about anything you bring to her! She is creative, spunky, and fun! you'll never want to leave her! :) read more

I really wanted to like this place. I received a gift certificate to get a gel manicure done so I went on a Friday afternoon. This place is by appointment only and although I scheduled an appointment the morning of - they were very accommodating. When you arrive, make sure you park at the LensCrafters across the street from it. The walk isn't bad and only takes maybe 1-2 minutes. When you walk in, they ask if you would like any beverages - water, tea, wine, etc. I felt very welcomed. Unfortunately, the 3 stars that I am leaving is from the gel manicure I received. It took almost 1.5 hours (I walked in at 4 and left at 5:20) to have this done. My nail technician took a bathroom break (still forgiving because we're all human) but she also was checking her phone and texting while I was getting my nails done. She also seemed to be rushed to go home since it was almost closing time because she almost dismissed a bump on my nail before I mentioned that I would like it to be fixed. I liked the final product of my nails but unfortunately my thumb nail chipped under 24 hours. I don't know if I would return to get my nails done again here but they offer a variety of services which I haven't checked out. I was impressed by the 5 star rating on the yelp page and was excited to check it out. Unfortunately, it wasn't the great experience that I was anticipating. read more

I was looking for a new nail place and boy did I find that and more! The owner, Paula was warm and welcoming and a master of her craft! She provides top notch personalized service with expert technique. By far, the best pedicure and gel manicure I have had in years. Paula has transformed her new place into a pampering sanctuary where she truly delivers the "Royal" treatment! I can't wait to try out her message and waxing services! read more

After several times getting my nails done here by Linda, I can confidently say you'll never leave disappointed when you come here. It's sad to say that one of the many things that makes them stand out is that they're always on time, if not early!!! I never have to worry about my appointment being pushed later as it does at other salons or showing up only to have to wait longer to be serviced. Their attention to detail also never disappoints. They make sure to take their time, ask you several times if there's anything you'd like to change (nail shape, length, etc) so you always leave with exactly what you wanted. They also have tons of great colors to choose from and never hesitate to add a certain color if I request it. If you want friendly, reliable, high quality service, this is your place! read more

After reading the reviews. I decided to give A Royal Pampering a try. I made my appointment online. When I arrived, I was greeted with a warm smile and immediately seated at the station for my mani. When done, I was escorted to the pedi bench and offered a beverage. The complete experience was lovely and relaxing. This has been my BEST mani and pedi ever! PLUS, my mani stayed fresh and beautiful for two solid weeks. I will definitely be a regular client and have already recommended this gem of a place to my friends. read more

The short version of this review: 5 star quality and service. Best massage I have ever had (and I get a massage at least once a week back home). Very creative and thorough on the mani and pedi. Mom and I were thrilled with the experience. Make an appointment with Paula today. For those of you interested in a more detailed review, please continue reading. My husband treated my mother and I each to a massage, a mani and a pedi for Christmas. He asked for my help to find a good salon, so I began scouring Yelp and came across A Royal Pampering. I emailed the owner, Paula, and was very pleased to receive a quick response-in the same day. Because of her quick response and beautiful website, we decided to go with this salon. When you first arrive at A Royal Pampering, you may feel a little taken aback as you arrive at an office building. But as you climb the stairs, you see Suite 217 which has a gorgeous crown on the door, easily signaling that your pampering is about to begin. The moment you walk through the door, you are greeted by glorious aromatic candles and a cheerful Paula! Massage: My mother received the 60 minute massage which she really enjoyed. I received the 60 minute massage with an add on of cupping. This literally was the best massage I have every had. I have had a massage every week for the past year, but this was the best one ever. She is very aware of her client's needs and would adjust the pressure depending on the client. I prefer a very firm massage and she provided! And the cupping was a great experience. Ask Paula to explain the benefits of cupping and try it out! Pedi: As we were driving to the appointment, my mom commented how much she would love to have a Seminole painted on her toenail. We laughed, as we thought this would be an impossible request. Well, we were blown away, when Paula said she could do it. And then she actually delivered! See the pictures! Wonderful job! My mom was thrilled, as she is the #1 Seminole fan around! I requested ombre as I have always wanted to rock that look and I was not disappointed! I am so excited with the gorgeous teal to pink ombre she created on my pedi. Mani: More perfection from Paula. I got gels, which are a beautiful pink. My mom, of course, wanted garnet and gold nails! We were both thrilled with the results. Paula is focused on providing a very custom, individualized experience for each of her clients. We did not feel rushed, but felt that she was very dedicated to (1) make this a pleasing experience for my mom and me and (2) is very detailed in her work. She prefers feedback so she can provide you with the result you want. Make an appointment today. Seriously. read more

All I can say is I am so glad my usual nail salon was too busy and told me to come back later- for the last time! I was looking on Yelp for a new nail salon and saw that A Royal Pampering had 5 stars, so I made an appointment for the same day. I was a little nervous because I'm used to the typical pedicure-chairs-in-a-row type of nail place, but as soon as I met Paula and saw her cute studio, I didn't mind at all. I got a gel manicure, basic pedicure and my eyebrows waxed, and I can honestly say my nails AND brows have never looked better! She is so good at what she does and so easy to talk to, I enjoyed every minute of my experience. I will definitely be back and recommending to friends! read more

This is a very basic nail salon and i will admit that it's very clean but i expected a more "royal pampering". when i first came in, I didn't see ANY colors on the wall and LUCKILY i had brought my own polish but I just had a basic pedicure which lasted less than an hour and the water wasn't warm and it will chilling my legs during my pedicure. i had asked if they had any jewels or rhinestones and she said they didn't have those. I got a straight polish and it costs $45 for a basic pedicure and the bench seats were at a right angle and wasn't comfortable to relax in. the pedicure was fine and my feet were quite soft at the end which is why i'm giving this place two stars but $45 for a complete basic pedicure and i gave a $5 tip but that price for just a basic service when i could go to a regular salon and pay $25 for a great pedicure and a design for $5. i'm just really disappointing for such an expensive price. read more

A Royal Pampering - excuse my pale little feet but as you see i could've done this paint job at home and save $50 - Nail Salons Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

A friend and I went to A Royal Pampering, and we had a great experience with Paula and Victoria. This was my first pedicure since Covid, and the place felt very clean and well-managed. Paula was very quick to respond when I contacted her through Yelp to make an appointment, and she was very friendly. The only negative is parking can be difficult in the shop's particular shopping center, but there is plenty of parking in the shopping center nearby. I recommend getting a pedicure at A Royal Pampering! read more

I love this place. My gel mani always last. I like the fact that it's appointment only. Therefore, I don't feel like they are rushing bc they have ppl waiting in the lobby. They are super clean and I don't have to worry about get an infection on my feet or hands. Very nice staff. read more

No two experiences are the same and they can only get better. This time i went for a full blown mani, pedi, eyebrows and i feel like my laundry feels when they come out of the dryer lol squeaky clean, polished and renewed. for anyone wanting to try Paula's service and feel the way i feel today even at 9 months pregnant, don't get scared away just because she is not one of those buildings you go to and then wait 30 minutes to only leave 10 minutes later, poor and unhappy with the work. Give it a chance and your nails and eyebrows will never be unhappy again.. (She also does massages) ... Leave your girlfriends at home and come enjoy a few hours to yourself. Lol :) read more

A Royal Pampering - Ahhh.. Pretty nail :)))) - Nail Salons Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

I must say this was the most fun I've ever had in a nail salon! I will be back. Linda did a great job on my toes!

I need more stars people! I found my nail spot and I can't be more excited. If you've had botched up nail jobs you'll understand. First this place is very nice and clean. Linda was very warm and welcoming. She got started on me as soon as I came in. Appointment only nails salons are the way to go if you're like this business and keep the schedule properly. I like techs that take their time to do a good job. That means a lot to me. Linda did exactly that. She took her time. She did it right! Annnd she checked the corners of my nails to make sure she painted the whole nail. THAT was HUGE!! No one had ever taken the time to do that. Seriously where has she been all my nail life!! Now I feel like I can keep my nails done and be okay with spending the money. She's a gem! The prices here are very comparable to other places which makes this place even better. Oh and they do online appointments! You can go online check and see who is available and book it yourself. No more signing a notepad that doesn't mean anything!! And lastly but not least my nails looked amazing! I tried something new and Linda was very encouraging and she didn't even rush me to pick a color!! I'm telling you this woman is a gem. I don't give compliments like this if I don't mean it!! Please go check this place out! One more thing... there is at least 30 years of experience in this business!! It matters...experience matters!!! Okay okay! I'm done! Thank you so much Linda!! You changed the game for me! read more
