    Glitter pink nails
    Noelani M.

    Came here as a walk-in on a Sunday afternoon and had a wonderful experience with Naomi as my technician for both gel manicure and regular pedicure. She was efficient but also made sure to take her time to make sure things were done well. She always checked with me to make sure I liked the color and my nail length/shape so that I left happy. My only complaint is that I didn't get a hand massage or lotion after my manicure (maybe cuz it's gel?) but I did get a nice foot scrub and massage during my pedicure. I recommend making a reservation if you can because even though I was a walk in, they were busy.

    I go here every time for acrylic sets, the service is great and everyone is very nice. Today, i got my nails done and they look amazing, i think his name is phillip. He did a great job!!!

    My beautiful mani! (Gel color: Rose City, MI from DND)

    So I was in the area and needed to get my nails done ASAP and found this spot through Yelp. It definitely has its pros and cons but the end result was spectacular! Cons: - wait times (there were not too many technicians available when I went so I did have to wait about 20 minutes on a Tuesday morning even though there weren't many customers) - ambiance is just "eh"- area is clean enough but doesn't feel like a super fresh spot - music was blah- romantic sort of stuff- and the manager was all about it. In fact at one point I was vibing to some chill r&b type stuff and he asked an employee to change it back to his stuff lol Pros: - good selection of colors for gel (ask for the samples to look at- not just those on the wall) - Very friendly and competent staff (the front desk girl was super sweet in helping me find the color I was looking for) - my technician, Rebecca, was not only very sweet but she is SO detailed and great at what she did. She was very gentle which made me think it wouldn't be so great because I have plenty to work with cuticle-wise, but she did a beautiful job! I was pleasantly surprised and happy with the outcome! All in all, I was happy with my walk-in experience!

    The mani  "freshly" done/ still at the place. Crooked paint, did not do full nail, brush strokes all over, sloppy edges

    Any stars are just for the business itself - This place is very convenient, since it is open until late and on Sundays too. The pricing is not cheap, but still doable, especially since it is so convenient. They always have a bunch of people working so wait, if any, is not long. Now about the quality if the work- sigh- it really depends who you get. I have occasionally had some 'ok' manicures here. Most of the time the job is rushed and sloppy. This past time took the cake. It literally looks like a 3rd grader painted my nails. Crooked paint job, left paint on my skin, did not paint the full nail (makes it look like i have a week of grow-out from the get-go), brush strokes all over.... I will let you see the picture and draw your own conclusion. I am so disappointed in actually being charged for this level of work.

    Found this place by luck while in the area. I had actually tried to get my nails done at my regular spot but since it was a Saturday and I didn't have an appointment, I wasn't able to and thought my nails would have to look crazy for the next couple of days. Thankfully I decided to walk into Encore Nails. Even though the place was busy, within 5 minutes of walking in, I was sitting in a chair and getting my nails done. The staff was super friendly and they have a large selection of gel nail colors. The pricing is also very affordable, specially in comparison to places near my home in Miami Shores. I liked how my nails came out however, upon further inspection after I had left, I realized a few of my nails were crooked. It's not easily noticeable unless you're really looking closely so I'll let it slide this time. Will probably give them another shot when I'm in the area again.

    Had a little spa day at Encore Nails with my friend and bride-to-be. We walked in on a weekday afternoon and they were able to take us with little wait for a pedicure and gel manicure. The space is newly done so you get a clean vibe inside. It's been over a week and I do have one chip on my index finger but that's my fault for trying to pry a sticker off of a box at work! My nail technician did a fabulous job painting the crevices of my curved nails, being careful not to miss a spot. If I lived in the area, I'd be back! The salon is a bit newer and didn't have a sign up yet as of last week so it was a bit harder to find. So FYI the entrance is under the UPS sign!

    Finally a great nail place in Doral. All the employees here have experience and are professional and nice. J Ho was the one doing my nails and they came out great, he was quick but efficient. It was a walk in, not sure how much everything was cuz my friend jumped at the credit card machine. There are massage pedicure chairs. I got chrome gel on the nails and regular polish on the toes. They line their pedicure basins and everything looks very tidy. A little hard to find cuz the sign isn't up yet but it's under the UPS store sign in the Publix plaza. If you're looking for a really good nail salon, hit them up!

    Almond shaped acrylic full set with gel polish

    Encore Nails is a brand new spot in the Doral Plaza shopping center next to Publix. Desperately needed to get my nails done for a meeting, I took a chance and popped in. Jay (one of the owners) helped me with a gel acrylic full set in a natural almond shape. Here are a few of the things that stood out the most for me: 1. New and clean 2. Nice vibe and music playlist 3. Everyone speaks fluent English. This is big for me as a Latina who is much more comfortable communicating in English. I welcome any business in Doral where I'm not forced to have to speak Spanish. 3. I was in and out in 45 minutes flat for a full acrylic set plus gel polish fully dried! 4. Jay really listened to me and how I wanted my nails to look. He did an amazing job making my set look so natural. I am very happy with the results and service. I enjoyed my experience and looking forward to going back to have my fill-in done in about two weeks.

    Visiting family, and needed to get my nails done quickly. Staff were very accommodating, and were very good at getting people seated as soon as a spot opened up was available. I was directed to Jay, and he was by far the best part of the experience. He was able to recreate a image I found, and make suggestions to enhance it. He was very comical during the entire process, and his work is probably the best I've ever had done. Thank you Jay!

    I have been going to Encore ever since i moved in the neighborhood in August last year, they are amazing, the service is TOP TIER!!! They never disappoint....if you're ever in the neighborhood please stop by and get your nails done. One of my favorite nail tech to go to is Jonathan, i love love this guy!!!

    The service is amazing and I was so happy with my nails! I recommend Anh, she's amazing. My sister was not happy with her nails, but they took it very well and Anh redid them for her. We were very happy :)

    I had a very disappointing experience at European Wax Center in Doral, FL…read more My appointment was scheduled for 10:45 AM, and I arrived at 10:52 AM - keeping in mind there was no available parking, which delayed me slightly. Upon checking in, the receptionist immediately told me that because I was 7 minutes late, they would not be able to perform all the services I had booked. I asked what their grace period policy was, and she told me it was less than 5 minutes, which was surprising since I've been coming here for over a year and had never been told this before. I then asked a simple question: "Is my waxer ready right now?" She said no, she's still with another customer. So I asked for clarification: "Are you limiting my services because I'm 7 minutes late, or because my waxer isn't ready?" She couldn't give me a clear answer. At 10:55 AM, my waxer came out and told me she couldn't take me at all because I was "10 minutes late." I explained that I had actually been there waiting, and that she herself was not ready at my scheduled time. She insisted she couldn't take me because it would "mess up her schedule." I pointed out that she wasn't ready at 10:45 anyway, so it didn't make sense to place the blame entirely on me. Instead of any effort to accommodate or resolve the situation, I was simply turned away. This experience felt unprofessional, inconsistent, and dishonest. After over a year of being a loyal customer, I was treated with zero flexibility or accountability on their end. I will not be returning.

    I booked an appointment here specifically asking for an acrylic overlay refill with gel. I have it…read morein writing that they offer this, and it is listed on their website. However, the experience was a nightmare from start to finish. The technician was clearly unprepared; she didn't have the matching acrylic color, her tools were in poor condition, and she kept having to borrow tools from other staff. The quality of the work was shocking. She cut my natural nails unevenly and actually sliced one of them so short that she had to glue a fake tip on it to make it match--completely defeating the purpose of an overlay on my real nails. After two hours, the result was awful. The nails were filed sideways/crooked, very thick, and the acrylic was flooded onto my cuticles. I spoke to the manager because I was afraid to let them continue damaging my nails. While they offered to fix it the next day, I canceled because I didn't trust them to touch my hands again. To make matters worse, when I spoke to them the following day, they claimed they 'don't do acrylics' there--a blatant lie considering their website ads and my booking confirmation. This place practices false advertising, charges premium prices for unskilled work, and takes zero accountability. If you value your natural nails, run the other way."

At first they weren't sure if they could fit me in, but after a few minutes they found a nail tech and took great care of me. Pedicure was first and it was excellent, followed by a manicure that lasted about two weeks (and honestly could've lasted longer if I wasn't deep-cleaning at home after I returned home from my cruise). The staff was friendly, efficient, and fast. The salon was clean and nice, they offered water, and the location is super convenient with plenty of free parking nearby. Paid $60 for a regular mani-pedi, which felt very reasonable. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again.
