I had an excellent pedicure and a mind-blowing calf and foot massage. I'm embarrassed to say I'm blanking on the provider's name, but the experience was outstanding. I do a lot of standing postures and often walk upwards of eight miles, so my calves and feet carry plenty of tension. The strength and skill with which they were kneaded made an immediate difference. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I will definitely be booking a deep tissue massage the next time I'm at Vilano Beach -- my favorite part of St. Augustine. read more

Save your money. this place was poorly maintain, they didn't open tools in front of you so I don't know if they were clean. polish was old and left bubbles in the gel and hair. Also they cut my cuticle nails dry no water or baggies with solution just dry tugging on my cuticle beds. If you are on vacation AVOID THIS PLACE! read more

They charged me 70 for a pedicure and the lady said she could do my nails but when I was about to pay she said she couldn't do my nails for waxing and STILL charged me 70 dollars for just a pedicure read more

They were all very nice and it was the best pedi I have ever had! They did not rush at all. The foot massage was incredible. We all laughed and had a wonderful, relaxing afternoon. read more

I have gone to Bamboo for a very long time for my pedicures. It has always been a wonderful experience! Lisa has anyways gone above and beyond to spend so much time making me feel relaxed and doing a fabulous job! Winnie is always the sweetest and so loving. She was always saying I needed to try her facial and massage...so, I finally did, yesterday, for my birthday! Words can not explain! Two hours (seemed like 30 minutes) the BEST massage and stretching I have ever had!!! I was so relaxed. She's strung and knowledgeable The facial was amazing! I feel like a new woman from head to toe! Try it! You will not be disappointed! Saving my money for another! read more

Disgusting dirty environment with mold growing on the walls and ceiling tiles hanging down or missing from water damage. Garbage cans were overflowing with dirty hair wax strips onto the floor , dust and dirt covered every shelf and table . Your appointment means nothing and i witnessed a woman waiting 40 min past her appointment time for her nail technician. I would never patronize this salon . I dint understand how the health department allows the owner to stay open . read more

Thank you John and Hong. Visiting from Atl... Very kind people that work here. I will come back when I return for a beach visit.

The ladies there were super friendly and social. They did an amazing job with mine and my husbands toes. read more

Bamboo Garden Salon Vilano Beach - Waxing Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Do not even bother making an appointment at this so called establishment. They don't respect time nor men! I made an appointment for noon today, December 31. I arrived about 5 minutes EARLY. I was told to sit at the pedicure chair, no soaking, nothing. After 15 minutes I asked what's happening, the owner said your technician was late today. I said "that's not my problem". I waited another 15 minutes (for a total or 30 minutes waiting doing nothing!) and left. During this time two women came in without appointments shat down and we're taking care of immediately. Obviously sexism is at play here. To make matters worse, one of the women who entered without an appointment mouthed off to me that, "I was on my phone while I was waiting." When I confronted her, she did not respond or look at me. I left. Do not bother with this place. read more

Totally worth it. Lisa spent so much time on my feet and was very detailed with my nails. It was $50 for my gel pedicure, which is a little steep but I enjoyed my time here so it was worth it. I recommend (ask for Lisa!) read more

Bamboo Garden Salon Vilano Beach - Gel Pedicure - Waxing Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

I've been going to this salon since moving here about a year ago. I can't say enough about how nice and friendly the staff is! Winnie in particular is a joy! I go for regular mani & pedis as well as the occasional lash extensions read more

Don't waste your time or money go over the bridge and go to someplace decent they do not respect your time at this business I set an hour and a half for an 11 o'clock appointment and left at 12:49 Nine members of my family go here they will not be returning They have the rudest staff ever they don't even acknowledge you're sitting there. Winnie. You lost a lot of customers today read more

Got a gel manicure and pedicure here. The pedicure polish seemed rather thin compared to other pedicures I have gotten at another salon. It chipped after a few days (less than a week). The manicure chipped after a few days too. There's another salon I normally go to where theirs last at least 2 weeks before I see any signs of chips or wear. I can't help but feel this salon waters their polishes down to thin them out. Also, making an appointment is for appearances only. You make an appointment over the phone and you are waiting 1+ hours beyond the scheduled time to be seen. This happened twice. The first time I thought it was just the fervor for the holidays. The second time it happened made me realize they don't really follow their own scheduling. Really nice staff, but the product quality and appointment issues make it less likely I'll go back. read more

I have been here twice- both times without appointments. The first time I was overcharged for a simple pedicure (75$) not including tip. Then the second time more recently I went well before closing and was told they couldn't take me despite there only being one other customer in the establishment and several people available. read more

I had a great experience at Banboo garden salon. I went as a walk in and was seated immediately. Winnie was so cute when she asked me what color I wanted to paint my toenails. She was smiling and had me laughing. But I'm a guy who loves a pedicure. They did a great job and when I left it felt as if I was walking on a cloud. I had happy feet. read more

Really wanted to like this place. There's not many nail salons open on Sundays in the area, so I saw this one had pretty good reviews and decided to book an appointment. I enjoyed the atmosphere and my nail tech was so nice, I enjoyed talking to her. But it's day three of my gel no chip and two nails are already peeling. And instead of gently removing the gel no-chip I came in with, she filed it down so now my nails are extremely thin. It wasn't bad $55 for gel mani/ regular pedi. I was even there for almost two hours so it was a full treatment. But I felt like they spent so much time massaging and doing extra things the actual product fell flat. read more

I came here for a pedicure but the foot massage was amazing! Winnie spent so much time on my feet. She dug in deep and I didn't realize how much my feet needed the work! Thank you Winnie! read more

First, I would like to say I would NOT recommend this salon. I was very disappointed, especially given the yelp reviews. My sister and I called and made appointments. We were there on time. We were seen in a timely fashion. Winnie was my manicurist. She was very rough with my manicure. While she was trimming my cuticles she took a chunk of skin. Then she proceeded to tell me my nails were bad and I needed gel. I explained that I didn't want gel. She soaked my nails in warm water for approximately 5 minutes (total), trimmed my cuticles (plus a piece of my skin), painted my nails then gave me a 2 min message. read more

Very nice people. Clean and well kept store. Felt like I received very special treatment. But something tells me they treat all their clients like that. Will defiantly go back read more

Always love this place. Have been going to Bamboo since they were in FI. Winnie and John are the best. Thanks

My friend raved about this place and I decided to try it. Lisa did my pedicure and it was great. John did my nails and did a horrible job. I showed him what I wanted and he started but it was looking so bad and not like the picture I showed him at all. He was on the first nail and I told him I didn't like it. He actually hurt my finger when he tried to fix the nail I didn't like. He then proceeded to change my nails and didn't take off what he already applied. It feels bumpy and doesn't look good. I just will never go there again. Just be warned they don't do well with acrylic nails with gel polish! Total was $75. What a waste a money. Will stick with my other nail place. read more

This place is overpriced and not worth it. I was charged $50 for a basic pedi with gel polish. And maybe i would have been content with that ridiculous price if it was worth it. The nail tech didn't say a single word to me, there was no massage or hot towel included. I won't be returning. read more

After relocating to St Augustine from MA four years ago, I tried every nail salon around. I was not happy with any until I discovered Bamboo Garden..they are really great at what they do! The pedicures last a long time and the foot massage is incredible. I highly recommend this salon :) read more

I got a pedicure on Saturday morning, there was only 1 other customer there. Lisa was very professional & did a great job. The prices are very reasonable, I would have paid more for the same service at home. The salon as clean & neat. I would recommend it. read more

Absolutely the best nail salon you'll ever go to, first time here & I am writing the review while to are running my feet. That's how good they are. The ladies in here are so pleasant to be around. A very peaceful environment. You won't get a better foot massage. I highly recommend getting the pedicure with the mask, hot stone and extra massage time. I won't be going anywhere else. Many of the customers drive an hour to get their nails done here. read more

Bamboo Garden is a wonderful salon located in Vilano Beach! I've been getting mani-pedis there for several months now. Their service is excellent & they are very reasonable. John, Winnie & Rena are fantastic! read more

I had an SNS manicure yesterday. Today every one of my fingers is red, swollen and itchy to the end of the top joint. Thinking back, I didn't see any evidence that any of the equipment the guy used was new, clean or sterilized. He was working on two of us at once. I never saw him wash his hands, and he didn't wear gloves. In addition to the fact that all the furniture is shabby and torn, why the heck didn't I walk out of there??? This place is convenient, but save yourself from a nasty infection and find another salon. Too bad because the people are nice and they seem to have a lot of regulars read more

Beautiful salon. They couldn't have been nicer. Great staff and very clean. Coming back next time im down here.

I have tried to support this place, a local business. After experiencing terrible pedicure from one of the technicians, I decided to go back and had a good experience with John. This time I scheduled an appointment with him and arrived on time to find him with another customer while telling me I did not have an appointment....one I made the day before with Winnie. He was rude, angrily dismissed me as not having an appointment and returned to his customer. No one else was in the shop. There was no apology, no offer to have me come back later or reschedule. When I asked if anyone else was coming in, he threw his arms up into the air as he walked away from me. I will never consider going back. I guess there are enough good reviews to keep them in business. I will not excuse the way I was treated for just showing up for a scheduled appointment. read more

My natural nails have been tore up . I ask the technician several times if she knew what she was doing ??? In addition she was late , and And anxious. A man started my services and then she came in and took over . The place is very nice & clean . But the service it terrible and the technician is very rude . read more

I found this place today and it was a wonderful experience. Super clean, nice staff and super relaxing. Did a deluxe mani/ pedi with Lisa. She was wonderful and very good. My cuticles were in rough shape and she really took the time and care to clean them up. My polish on my toes was perfect and the massage was a slice of heaven. I highly recommend them. read more

Hands down the best job, both dip and gel pedi I've experienced! Very professional and experienced, not to mention friendly and personable!

I made an appointment to have SNS nails done. Waited for awhile as it appeared they didn't write my appointment down. John started my nails while working on another person's. He put gel nail polish on my nails. I told him I did not want that and that I wanted the SNS nails. He showed me a clear nail polish bottle that was labeled SNS but never put the SNS color powder on. Several times he told me it was OK and to try this, meaning the gel polish. This is not what my appointment was for and did not like the fact that he was doing what he wanted and not what the customer wanted. First time here and will be my last. Very disappointed in the customer service! read more

Best gel manicure ever. I had my nails done here with a large party 2 days before my wedding. We were a big crowd and they were able to handle us all, although it did take a long time and trying to get everyone's bill paid was a bit disorganized. I was so happy with my nails that it was worth the chaos. My group included several children who kept messing up their manicure, and the staff kept touching them up for free. My grandma's nails needed quite a bit of repairs before they could be painted, and her manicurist was really kind and took her time to make sure my grandma was happy. My gel manicure stayed on through my wedding and the 10-day honeymoon afterward (which included white water rafting, swimming, hiking, rappelling down waterfalls, and all sorts of other activities which should destroy nails). My nails were seriously growing out to the point that they started to look silly before I even had a single chip on my tips. I wish I lived in St Augustine so I could go back to this place every time I needed a manicure! read more
