Hostess girl was very rude as soon as I walked in. I could tell it was because she didn't think I had an appointment, but I did. I was actually 10 minutes early for the appointment, but I still had to wait for someone to open up. Isn't that why you must have an appointment (no walk-ins) AND pay a $25 deposit ahead of time? Not going back, there's too many other nail places in Destin! Do yourself a favor and do the same!

I had heard such great things about this place. I've tried to walk in serval times and couldn't get appointment. This time I booked an appointment. I wanted a pedicure and dip. I got a deluxe pedicure which was ok. One lady comes and starts prepping my nails for dip. She nicked my cuticle with drill. Then did the base dip then another girl came to file and buff while pedicure was being completed. She told me i would come to her to her station to finish. She did a very sloppy job on my nails. One of them looks like she didn't even put a topcoat. One of my toes was messed up moving as well. Definitely not up to the standards I've been told about.

I love Destin nails. My nail tech Gunn is amazing, she knows my shape and my colors so well. She is incredibly talented and can do some amazing designs. Some people complain about how they run the business but they have to run it the way they do in order to respect their nail techs time. They are very busy and Gunn is always booked out weeks in advance. This is because they are amazing! But because they are so busy, you have to always make an appointment and if you cancel or show up late, that messes it up for the nail tech for the whole day. Do yourself a favor and go here and ask for Gunn.

I love Destin Nails. I'm new to acrylics but have been happy with the quality and care Rose takes to do a great job on my nails every time. The price is great, the staff is so friendly and professional. I always recommend to anyone who asks where I got my nails done! :)

Update to my review to add eyelashes!! I loved them! Mod is the gal to go to for lash extensions. Verdict on eyelashes. Only did them once. Lasted about 2.5 weeks nicely. Second half of that week the false ones started to go missing. This is my personal amount of wear time for these (kinda like a fill in for nails). Upon professional removal my lashes were a teeny weenie weenie but shorter for about a week. They have now returned to former glory. Waking up to clean under eyes and not having to apply 4 coats of mascara to my blonde eyelashes was awesome!!! I would ABSOLUTELY do again for a special occasion. I don't really need to be looking that fine all the time anyway. The guys couldn't handle it. Sssssssizzle. Hahahahahaha Mod does amazing pedi's and My pink and white with her husband was perfect. I finally found a permanent place to get my nails done!! Yay!!!

Came here while on vacation cause the nails I had turned ugly with the water. It was the best decision ever because wowww, I love my nails so much!! This is the best job anyone's ever done on my nails. She was so careful with my nails and made sure everything looked perfect. Book with Gunn, she was amazing I didn't take good pictures so I ss from a video I took

Disappointed that I was created with a lot of attitude when I arrived 9 minutes late for my appointment. Hit traffic and didn't get the check as quick as expected from lunch but instead of a polite "you'll need to wait a few minutes because your a couple minutes late" I was greeted with "how long ago did we cancel her? You're late we were wondering where you were. And yea I guess we can take you but you're late." Not some place I want to take my business. Lady at the desk seemed nice but the guy that seemed to be in charge not so much.

So disappointed. I had high hopes for this place but I'll not be visiting again. They have a $25 policy for new clients that are late or miss an appointment. I wasn't late just thought it was odd especially since I was 5min early and they weee running behind. After being pointed to a pedicure chair after 10 minutes. I wasn't asked the type of service I wanted. Just in a chair and told to put my feet in the water prepared for me. The water was warm at best and was cold in a matter of minutes. After my really crappy basic pedi in which my cuticles and nails were not properly trimmed or filed. My toes polished with a polish thinned by a significant amount of acetone. Another girl came by with a new bottle and put on another coat. . 3 days out I now have zero polish on the edges of my toes. Save yourself some time and $$ go somewhere else read more

I came here to get dip nails. When she was finished, the nails were mustard yellow and were crooked on many fingers. While the woman was filing my nails, she kept the file in the same spot for several minutes leaving my finger to bleed. She then not only continue to do my nails but also not let me wash my hands in case any infection occurred. I'm sure there are better nail salons in Destin. Would not recommend. read more

Very friendly staff. However, my polish chipped within hours. I usually get OPI but chose a different brand so I won't blame the chipping solely on them. They have OPI brand as well I just decided on a different color. When I looked closer at my not chipped toes you could see the layers of polish. They were wiggly and uneven. The pedicure was a bit rushed which could explain the uneven layers. read more

It has been YEARS since I have had a really good leg and foot massage during a pedicure. I am on a week long vacation and desperately needed some new polish on my toe nails. I saw this place when I went to publix the other day and the prices seemed reasonable. So I decided to stop in today. The older woman gave me the most intense and long massages ever! She was absolutely amazing and I feel completely relaxed! I couldn't have asked for a better massage! That is my favorite part of a pedicure and most technicians skip past it with a quick rub down. She took her time and is very good with her hands! I completely recommend this place! Sucks I live 2 hours from her and can't use her regularly. Least I could do is write them a great review to get more service in here. Did I mention it wasn't crowded at all which made the experience that much more relaxing! read more

The first time I went to Destin Nails the results were fantastic! The second time I went, yes, I had an appointment...the salon was packed and I had 3 different people working on my pedicure and dip nails. Only 4 days after that appointment my dip nails began chipping and coming off! Needless to say, I doubt that I'll be back. With the amount of money I spent I expected my nails to last at least 3-4 weeks :(. I also expect a salon to make my appointment with only ONE person who knows what they're doing. read more

I've only had my nails done a few times so I wasn't quite sure what I wanted but it was my birthday and I broke my real nail down really far so my boyfriend took me. The gentleman working not only squeezed me in an hour later in the only open spot available (he showed me the schedule), but he also didn't make me feel dumb when saying I didn't know what I wanted or needed. My boyfriend picked out a nail color where each color was different, I was embarrassed to ask for that much effort and offered to do a simple, single color but the nail stylist, Dien (I believe), responded and said "Don't feel bad, it's fun!" Even though I was tasking something ridiculous. While my nails were dipped, my boyfriend enjoyed an awesome Deluxe Pedicure. That was such an awesome visit and we'll definitely be back!

Whether your a local or a weekend vacationer, you won't find a better all-in-one nail salon. Danny and Mod are incredible at all aspects of their business. From customer service to personalized nail art, to great prices, I haven't found a better salon in the world. I live in Brussels, Belgium and get to come visit my parents here on the Gulf Coast. I've lived in San Diego, Los Angeles, Rhode Island, Germany, and Paris. Truly, I've traveled the world and they are the best! Gee is amazing with my nails, Mod is an incredible artist who can recreate any Pinterest look I've found and Danny is my Mom's favorite. From relaxing pedicures with a glass of wine to glam eyelashes that will catch everyone's eye, you get it all at Destin Nails. They are fantastic. I recommend making a reservation as they are busy. read more

This is a family run/owned business and they actually care. Big props here. (3) Friendly for the littles!

(True, as This is from each spa filing "the top" of my nail. I'm actually in the process of growing them out, so I told her not to file the top of my nail.) Finally, after drying for at least 15 minutes, I noticed my big toe has like a bubble under it that moves around when touched. She finally comes back after 15 minutes. And I inform her she needs to repaint that toenail. She does. // I wore sandals for the next 3-4 hours to eat dinner that evening in 40° weather so that they would dry completely. Then sleep over night and wore socks & boots all day. My wonderful future daughter-in-law bought me these cute new slippers. That pic is what my nails look like 24 hours later. Then I put closed toe leather flat shoes on and wore for rehearsal dinner. The next picture is the next morning, 36+ hours later. I regret not making an appointment with my normal spa at home for polish that would not get damaged, before coming to Destin and trying this spa. Perhaps it was the inexperienced staff member, I don't know. I picked the China Glaze polish. I think it was the goop.

Mod is amazing! I came from NY and thought I would never find someone that did lashes to my liking but she is even better than the person I had. I have been going to her for over a year and she is so precise and fast. My lashes look just as good two weeks after as they do on the day she does them!! The salon in general is very clean and all the people are very friendly and the prices are very good. If you don't try them it will be your loss!!!!! read more

I have been a client at Destin Nails for 5 years. I have ditched my spa treatments and replaced them with Destin nails. Now I get Mani/Pedi, facials and Eyelash extensions all in one place! The services are top notch and the staff is amazing!!!!! Definite must try if you are in Destin and want some relaxation and pampering! My boyfriend now begs to go with me. read more

Super friendly staffs. They are very professional with their clients but yet make you feel comfortable and relaxed every time you make a visit! This is probably one of my go to places for my nails. The nail technicians make their way out to make sure clients are satisfied and never hesitates to change things or do it again if clients arent happy. read more
