    Pros: Very friendly people. Extremely clean bathrooms. Very good pricing for services. Cons: My 40-45 pedicure last 36 minutes Only four therapists on duty, so wait was long Not all the services listed on the pricing sheet were actually performed. There is a huge push for up-selling for every choice you make. ("This is a much better polish for only $8 more", "oh, if you pay $5 more you get better options". I will readily admit that people here are friendly and nice. The manager was very pleasant and accommodating. The prices are very good and the chairs (at least the ones that worked) gave good massage therapy. My daughter really loved her pedicure and rated it five stars, there was also a gentleman in there that seems to get rave reviews; he seemed to really go above and beyond and his clients looked like they were in heaven. He even followed one customer out the door to make sure she got to her car. But I can only gauge on the treatment I received and not what others received. My therapist was clearly sick, kept wiping her nose, was annoyed I would not upgrade to ultimate level (I chose the super deluxe, two levels above the basic) and snatched the pricing guide from me when I started looking at what was supposed to be included with my chosen pedicure. My pedicure was listed at 40-45 minutes and it lasted a crisp 36 minutes. She refused my request for a liner and allowed my tootsies to soaked in the water about 20 seconds before she started in. When I realized I was getting poor service, I began to compliment her and thank her and she did slow down a little and show some care, but I still walked away with a hangnail and a feeling I would never go back there again. I realize that everyone is not equal when you get personalized service like pedicures. But with only four therapists, you have a 25% of having a bad experience and a 75% chance if getting a great one. My odds were against me this

    My first experience at Brilliant Nails and Spa was fabulous! I went the Thursday before Easter after work for a pedicure. I didn't want to wait until Friday or Saturday and have to deal with the crowds. I waited about 10 minutes and then was escorted to my pedicure chair. I selected a polish color from their tower. The pedicure chair was very nice and provided relief to my tight back muscles. And I was impressed that I didn't smell acrylic nails. I chose the deluxe pedicure for $32. Tommy took great care of me! I'm so glad I spent a little extra money to get more of a foot and leg massage. He joked with me and made me laugh several times. I told him it was my first time at the spa and he told me it was his first time giving a pedicure LOL! Tommy told me they have on average about a 95% return rate at the salon. And I can understand why! One regular customer who was sitting near me said she'd been coming here for years and wouldn't go anywhere else. I have been trying to find a nail spa since I moved to Jacksonville in 2014. I have been to nearly 20 different nail salons and I think I have finally found my new nail salon home!

    Pedicures here are amazing. They are so friendly and accommodating. It feels like I have new feet. I didn't have time for a manicure but I'm definitely going back..

    * disclaimer: I hate leaving negative reviews as I value peoples time and skills, but I had to post this. Please read ... POSITIVE: walk-in service, no appt needed, pedicure came out nicely NEGATIVE: 1. limited nail color selection 2. I agreed to do get gel manicure done with matching regular paint for my feet; when I selected a gel color for my hands, I get told there is no matching regular polish. That sucks, but whatever, so I chose another color (not at all what I originally wanted, but good enough). I asked if the gel color matched and was told yes, not to worry... 3. I asked for basic pedicure with callus remover, was told to upgrade to deluxe pedicure (asked if it included callus remover, as it was safe to assume when told to upgrade), and got affirmation, but then I got charged $6 extra for callous remover at time of checkout. 4. Worst part: - upon getting the manicure, I get cuts/wounds by the cuticle cutter & buffer - first coat of gel polish is not matching the toes, but I know sometimes it takes two coats to really compare, so I let her begin the second coat--completely different color (I mean bright purple vs red)! - I immediately tell her the colors don't match, but they argued, saying it matched, and the second help. - I refused, and said I was not going to walk out of the salon with those that color nails, and asked to get the soaking process started. - Owner/manager, I suppose, came over told me to "relax", that they were going to figure out how to match the color. - I refused that and told her I was just going to leave with the pedicure and basic manicure. - Nail tech begins to remove the gel polish with the buffing machine, tears up my cuticle again to where it's bleeding; did not remove all the polish, as you can see in the picture, then told me she was not going to polish my nails at all. I asked her if she could do clear, to which she agreed and did. I ended up spending $58 for all that and I still have to go home and fix my nails and paint them myself. A WORD TO THE WISE: do not waste your time or money here.

    Tommy offered to take a picture since it was my birthday!

    Tommy and his team were extremely friendly, caring, and overall did a exceptional job! I felt so welcomed, when I walked into the door, they greeted me and I was immediately seated! I got the deluxe pedi with Tommy and a gel manicure with Diana. I drove past 5+ salons to come here and it was worth it! Definitely coming back! Thanks guys!

    Tommy does the best brows, I never go anywhere else. They also give the best pedicures with the best massage.

    Standard shellac gel nails.  My nail tech was very meticulous, did not get any bubbles or dust and went to the edge.

I finally found MY salon!!! ‍ Now, fair warning: I'm a little bit of a salon snob. (Okay, maybe more than a little ) But in my defense, I literally named my first daughter after my former stylist, so when I find "the one," I'm loyal for life. And for the record... she moved away first, so let's not throw around the word hypocrite Here's my personal salon checklist: Fun area where I can wander before/after A funky, welcoming vibe inside A stylist who knows their stuff and is super friendly AMAZING products And of course... FABULOUS results And guess what? This place checked EVERY. SINGLE. BOX. Shoutout to Zoey she absolutely nailed it! My hair looks incredible, I felt totally taken care of, and the whole experience was just FUN. Located in the Five Points area, so parking can be a hassle arriving early at busy times suggested!

I'm already looking forward to coming back and would 100% recommend Libby to anyone ready for a change. She's amazing!

Through her talent, creativity, and determination she completely transformed my hair. Now I genuinely feel like a princess every time I leave the salon. Anna has such a gift for making her clients feel beautiful, and I know she'll bring that same love and dedication to this special season with her growing family. She will be greatly missed, but I'm truly grateful for everything she's done for me over the years.

Linda's entire team is welcoming, skilled, and committed to making every client look and feel their best.

Thank you, Anna, for helping me find my confidence and for all the wonderful years! Wishing you and your family nothing but happiness and blessings in this exciting new chapter! See you again soon!

Whether I'm in for a simple trim or a complete transformation including length and color, she makes sure I leave happy and with increased knowledge as to what products she recommends and how to style and keep my locks healthy and looking fabulous. It's always been a challenge to maintain my hair as it's so easy to whip out the old faithful bun routine, but with her help I now love getting into her chair and have had fun experimenting with different hairstyles and techniques utilizing her guidance and expertise. I've recommended her to my friends and family, and those who have taken my word left the salon more than satisfied with the results. As long as Ashley remains in Jax, I shall be her faithful client! Thank you Ash for teaching me that hair care doesn't have to be daunting and stressful and for making every visit not only a fun one full of laughs but also a learning experience!! I will be sure to continue recommending you specifically to anyone looking for a hair stylist. As for the salon itself, the staff is friendly and helpful and the coffee they serve definitely gets me through those morning appointments I definitely appreciate. From what I have seen, there's talent in the salon with varying styles and techniques but the outcomes make for happy comfortable clients.
