I went in with a reference photo and would have totally been okay to pick something else if I was told they couldn't do it. The results of the nails that I got were WAYY off from my reference photo and I would have been fine with it if it wasn't done so messy. There were air bubbles cured under the polish, patchy spots, and my cuticles were stained with polish. I don't like being a pain, so I was going to deal with it, but I really was not satisfied and I paid a lot for my nails. I contacted them and was told to come back the next day and they would fix it or do something else for free. I came back and chose a different design so it can be more simple and I liked how it came out except for the fact that my cuticles were still stained from the previous nail polish mess, and when I went to the counter after with intentions to just pay a tip to the different nail tech for doing something else for me, I was charged an additional fee to change the polish even after being told I would not have to pay. So I'm left still unsatisfied and I paid even more money for their messy work. read more

Okay the vibe in the place was great and everyone seemed to have their regulars and were yappin away- I got David he did my nails and the work was good no complaints on a fill. But he charged $5 for a broken nail- okay.. then $5 to "shape" I already had the shape coming in *pic posted* so he charged to file?? Moving on. He did my pedicure.. got a deep clean $40 he rubbed both the products they use at the same time for 10 seconds maybe 15 seconds then wrapped in the hot towel.. so no massage no type of enjoyment at all he used the grater on my big toes longer than he did my whole pedicure combined. I asked before starting if gel was 15 extra he said yes I repeated it again he said yes then charged me $20. My 3 year old got regular polish which I asked how much she said $10 then I was rung up for gel for $20.??? Even tho she didn't get gel. Honestly don't recommend going if you don't know anyone who goes there so you can get your moneys worth as well if you don't want to get charged for crazy things. read more

Hi! I have Zoe every time I go to Encore nails and she is the best! The vibe is super clean and pretty! Book Zoe!

It really pains me to have to leave this review. I really do love the nail technicians, and I always love the way my nails turn out at encore nails. I went in for an eyebrow wax on 13 December. I left and felt a slight other than normal sting. Once I got home I took a closer look and realized that I was burned on my eyebrows from the wax. I stopped by the salon, they offered no resolve, no compassion, and no desire to make it right. I am traveling overseas, and was planning on taking pictures with family, but now my face has obvious scabs from the injury. I am so disappointed in their lack of wanting to rectify the situation. They shrugged me away said the manager was not available and had not texted back. I know this was an accident and I know the technician did not mean to hurt me, but I did expect management to make it right. read more

Was going to a tech name John, he was AMAZING! Never failed. Then he unfortunately left, so I tried David. He is just as amazing and fast! He was so friendly, understanding, listened to my likings and one thing that stood out the most, he let me see the color against my skin tone as color can be different in tube. He was so patient. Definitely will continue going to David. Thank you David! read more

The nails looked beautiful from above but I realized after I got home that they have no apex and completely lack integrity.... and now two days later they are lifting and already getting caught in my hair. I was so excited to get my nails done again after so long and I'm so incredibly disappointed. read more

I got my nails done here and the design I showed and received were vastly different. My nails were not even and when mentioning my issues the nail tech had an issue. I do not recommend read more

One disappointment after another unfortunately. Beautiful salon clean and well equipped but that's about it. I have tried about four different techs at the salon and not happy with any of them. I got talked into so the Gel X nails that were supposed to let 3 to 5 weeks only to have them come off after a week. Got them fixed but one of the supervisors and same thing, two weeks later they started peeling off. I also was never able To get another appointment with her so I tried other techs and same thing. They move you around in the middle of your appointment to another person, you can never call there because they don't pick up and their mailbox is always full. My daughter has also been going there for the past months and this past time she had to go back three time to get her nails fixed and was treated so badly that she won't go back. read more

Ivy was amazing!! For my engagement trip in Puerto Rico my nails lasted on the ocean, and wind. Everyone was very sweet. I wish I would have got a price quote in the beginning, but over all it was a clean and nice place. The vibe was good. read more

Full set nails with dip, gel, toenail, polish with chrome on fingers and toes. Excellent job. Thank you, Emily. Some people have put on here that this place does everything all a cart it's because they really offer great services. You can add extra massage minutes to your pedicures you can select every service that you want so you're not paying for things that you don't like or need I really like it and I'll come back here for a long time. read more

I love this new salon. All of the employees speak English! My favorite nail tech is Wilda. Such a lovely person and crazy talented!

Me and my little sister came to get our nails done, and left very upset and disappointed with what we walked out with. First of all it was 60 dollars for just some simple acrylics which in my opinion is extremely overpriced when I have gone to another nail salon and pay 60 with design and length but I chose to go to this nail salon because it was way closer to my house than the other one. My little sisters french tip nails are literally a line on the top no curve to them what's so ever doesn't even look like a proper french tip mind you not she paid 67 dollars for them to look ridiculous. For my nails I just got a simple one color and very short and mine were 60 dollars and they charge 5 dollars for "shaping" which i've never seen before, because you have to shape any nails you do? am I right. When I got home I had to file underneath my nails because there were acrylic pieces sticking out underneath them, and the way the acrylic was laid they are bumpy and not smooth at all. The salon is very pretty inside and has pretty good business but I definitely will not be going back I much rather drive the 30 minutes to the other nail salon where i'll be paying less and walking out loving the nails I am given. read more

Encore Nails - The very over priced and wonky nails. - Nail Technicians Near Me - Minneola, Florida

I did call on a Sunday to inquire if they made appts or walk-in only. They made an appt for me. I went in at 4pm (their chosen appt time not mine) and had to soak off acrylic that had been on for 4 weeks and had dip put on. We had moved here 3 weeks earlier and I was desperate to get my nails done. I was also hoping this would be my new go to nail salon. I like to find a good place, a good technician and stay there and form a good relationship. I'm still shopping. I felt like I was holding up their closing for the day. There were 4 technicians sitting up front, bags in hand, waiting for the person doing my nails so they could all leave together. The only person in there that was somewhat friendly was the receptionist. For a quick in and out with no discussion of likes or dislikes, this is it. read more

I went to this salon for a pedicure and manicure. I requested my toes and nail match. I requested a regular pedicure and dip manicure. I was told the color that I selected would match even though the manicure would be done with with the dip product. The color on my toes and my nails did not match at all. It was visibly different to everyone around me in the salon. When pointed out, I was dismissed and then told that sometime they can't get the colors to match. They did not offer to try to fix my toe color to match or provide any other fixes. Additionally, the staff were not friendly and lacked customer service skills. I paid full price, gave a 20% tip and walked away extremely dissatisfied. To top it off ... my toe nail polish chipped the night I got the pedicure. Sadly, I was almost happy it chipped because I couldn't stand the extreme differences in my toe color and nail color... I won't return to this salon. read more

I have a love hate relationship with this place. I love the vibe, I LOVE Sue. I have always struggled to get nails to stay on without ANY lifting up for two weeks. Every time I have Sue do mine they last, look lovely, and she has an eye for detail. I have more sensitive, thin nails as I can't genetically grow super strong nails. She knows not to go too fast, too long or too hard when filing with the machine. This is one of the ONLY things I do for myself bi-weekly as any "self care". This past week I had called 4-6 times DURING open hours to schedule an appointment. To my frustration I kept getting the mailbox not set up yet error and no answer, which usually only happened to my mom. So I went on Sunday first thing, Apple Maps said they open at 10 so I was there at 9:55... doesn't open till 11. Came back at 10:50 and was the first person at the door, to my shock I got seated with Sue as a walk in. She had taken all the polish off and had start cutting them down when I got asked to get up and to go another tech, because she allegedly was the only one in the whole building that can do liquid gel. There were 7+ walk ins BEHIND me. It felt too awkward to say no, because I was a walk in and was grateful they could squeeze me in...plus I had never had this kid before and I was willing to give him a chance. Needless to say I wasn't happy. Fought with myself for two days as to if I was being too nitpicky or if it was valid. He never cleaned up the acrylic around my cuticles so they were slopes and attached to my finger, started lifting not even two days later. Got them fixed on Tuesday straight from work. And he was RUUUUSHING!! Like took less than 20-25 minutes...? I went back as soon as I was off work and called ahead. I got fought with about how they never clean up the cuticles when doing a fill, which was absolutely never my experience in any salon. That I would have had to pay for an additional manicure. And then I got put with a tech who was SO ROUGH!!!!! She took off the gel polish with a bit that was so abrasive that it took layers of my skin off and actually hurt, then cut me with the buffer. They looked a lot better after around my cuticle. But they are all not totally straight and have a sharp slant to them. Plus the nail's themselves were so sharp I could have cut myself or my dog. Thought I was crazy and showed my mom and I could leave scratch marks of my arm no problem. So I had to file the underside myself when I got home. Which I shouldnt have to do anything myself after spending 65+ dollars at that point. I tipped her because I appreciated her taking time out of her day to fix them but I won't be getting up for another tech or booking with anyone else ever. My second time there I came JUST for a fill and the tech started popping off all of my nails without me agreeing to a whole new set, after the second nail I spoke up in confusion and said if she was going to put on a new set I wanted a SOAK OFF, not a rip them off and she said that I just never had a good nail tech know how to take them off without hurting. It still hurt and then I got charged $60 for a new set that was just supposed to be a simple fill. I have thin brittle nails and when they come off like that I get left with a thin paper layer that takes me 3 months to heal back to my normal. I was frustrated but didn't like other places near by, then found Sue and Stuck around for a bit. They get one more shot with me and then I'm out for good. I so badly wanted this to be my spot. I HATE trying new techs, and salons. Sue rocks, Tom did a nice set replacement for me a while back. That's my input. I've had about 5 techs now from that spot. Sue would get all five stars in my book. read more

I am disgusted by the lack of service my son and I received. I wrote my name in the sign-in book indicating the service we wanted. The front desk person asked, while i was signing in, what service I wanted. I responded and told her 2 pedicures. While sitting in the chair for about 7 minutes, 3 women came in, and they asked the same front desk woman whose name is Jenny, if they could get pedicures. They did not get a chance to sit down in the waiting chairs because they were taken back immediately by Jenny. My son and I are black, and the other 3 female patrons are white. Jenny was the only person working the front desk. A minute after the women were seated in the back pedicure chairs, I approached Jenny at the front desk and asked, "Did they have an appointment?" Jenny responded "no". I then said, "ok, we don't want to get pedicures anymore." My son and I walked out of the salon. I don't like confrontation, so I went and sat in my car. I needed a moment to gather myself. I wanted to document this, I went back into the salon to ask the front desk employee her name because she didn't have a name tag. I asked for a manager but she said the manager wasn't there. I asked Jenny if she knew why the treatment toward my son and I was wrong, and she said "yes." I'm not on social media, so getting on my phone to record the interaction was not on my mind. But because I didn't record it, does not mean it didn't happen. My son was a witness and had many questions after we left. I live just around the corner from this place, and it's disheartening to know this is the mindset amongst members in my community. I am not advising people to stay away from here. However, I will ask that you be aware that at encode nails, you may receive service or lack there of bases on your skin color. I tried to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, but they are not listed. read more
