I've been going to Golden Nails for over 4 years now and there isn't another nail salon in San Antonio I will go to. Even after moving, I still make sure to get my nails done here when I'm in town!

I've been coming to Golden Nail and Spa for almost 6years and I will not go anywhere else because the way Julie has transformed my toes has been a journey. I had ingrown toe nails from all the heels and improper care and now they are beautiful and every 3wks I'm here getting my pedicures. Julie is the best at what she does, you'll never want anyone touching your feet, again. Then there's Tommy and Mimi who are amazing when it comes to manicures. Tommy is my regular but when I have an emergency or he isn't available Mimi is my girl. They are the best and my nails look beautiful, healthy and natural. I call before I head over and ask for availability and they are very good at getting me in with little to no wait. They have the best personalities, we laugh, talk and very friendly yet professional. I leave here feeling and looking better everytime. Ask for Julie for your next pedicure and for Tommy for any manicure and Mimi, you will not be disappointed... ever!!!

Lumpy, thick, uneven.

I used to really enjoy going to golden nails but as of recent the manicures they've been providing are SUPER hit and miss and after today I'm done giving them my services. This manicure is dip on natural nails with no tips and all I can say is HOLY THICK and LI. It took the lady 2 full hours to do this and on top of that they charge 20$+ for chrome and it doesn't even look good. Overall, it took way too long and costs way too much for my nails to look as bad as they do. Definitely disappointed but will be looking for a new nail spot.

I came in to the salon today to get a full set and a pedicure. I got the passion fruit pedi for 50$ and I ended up paying 135+10 tip. This is the worst manicure and pedicure I have ever had! The experience wasn't bad but the product made me almost cry. I asked multiple times for him to put a nude/pink as a base and he only put a clearish coat that didn't cover anything. Didn't fully take off my polish. And then I was charged 85 dollars for a half assed regular acrylic set?? I'm so sad :(

Like really what is this

140 for this bullshit , Do I even have to explain further ? Not only was I rushed but she also cut me peep the pinky this place used to be good now they just charge you and insane amount of money for horrible job not only that but I did the math 30 for a basic pedicure wich is what I got let's add 15 for shellac so 45 plus 10 for eyebrows was and 7 for lip so we are at 62 and let's say 62 plus 50 for a French tip where I was cut and was not done correctly she didn't even trim the nails... so that is at 112 now I had my punch card fully filled at 15% off so where the hell did I ended up at 140 and I tipped ?? Y'all are scamming and up charging for absolutely nothing and horrible service DO NOT GO HERE

This is what I asked for.

Talk about highway robbery. I will never come again and I will make sure everyone knows how outrageous their prices are!!! $115 for my granddaughter and myself. She doesn't hardly even have nails!!!!!

Copy and pasting my review from google because I need people to not go here. I used to go to this place all of the time two years ago and I used to love it. I moved back to San Antonio and I was so excited to go back here and it was literally the worst nail experience I have ever had. Firstly, I asked for a very simple design and I asked them to only use gel because I do not like powder. The guy, Tommy, told me he could only do dip powder nails and then could do the design on top of the dip powder. I went with what he said because I figured, he is the profession, he must know what he is talking about. Come to find out the two other friends I came with were able to get simple designs without using a powder for the base? Secondly, I have to have my nails medium-short length for work. I understand that coffin shaped nails have to be longer, but I asked my nail tech to slightly taper the nails because I think the square shape is ugly, and he straight up told me "No that's ugly." Thirdly, one of my nails has already snapped in half. All I was doing was putting my shoe on. I have never had nails be this weak before. They are also already lifting at the bed and as I am looking at them, the acrylic is all over her place. These honestly have to be the ugliest nails I have ever gotten and they charged me $80 for these?? For short nails with a simple design? I am assuming the nail tech only told me that he "had to use powder" to up charge me. I still paid for my nails, when I really shouldn't have, but I got an ugly look for the lady at the counter when I only tipped a small amount. I shouldn't have tipped at all due to the horrible service and terrible nails, but I still did. I wish I hadn't have paid or at least called back and gotten a refund. I will not be returning here.

Cut from excessive nail filing

I came in today for a quick fill and was not impressed. I've never walked out on a service and this should've been the first but I hate to be rude. Here were my issues and photos for reference. **The photo with the snake ring is what my nails looked like coming in.** I only wanted my nails cut down and filled. * Acrylic application slightly on skin ( = premature lifting) and buk * Fingers cut due to filing technique (when I let my technician know she blamed my cuts on the new drill bits and nail files) * Inconsistent shaping -- (I asked for a slight narrow like my right pinky, I told her that one was perfect and none of them resemble that nail) * Over filed natural nails to create new shape (my nails will be uneven once they grow out) * This length was considered long -- $65

Everytime I come here, they never disappoint. Everytime I come here, I have to post a review and show my nails . Lately, Mimi has been doing my nails and does an amazing job!

I love golden nails!! Ever since I found it I'm a regular for manicures and pedicures! I see Vicki and for my manicures, always gives me exactly the shape I want and they never chip or break when I do the dip powder! There are so many colors and she always gives me advice on what color would go best with the shape. I've been Coming to golden nails to Vicki over a year and now so many of my friends go to her, she never disappoints Also for pedicures, she always gets ALL of my callus off and I've never found a place before here that accomplishes that! I'm so happy I found my salon, 10 out of 10!

Dip manicure with tips

I was so happy with my experience. I got dip with tips. Hannah did an amazing job and was so sweet to me. Definitely recommend this place and her!!

Notice the nails are not the same length, or evenly filed.

This place gets their money off ripping people off, and just making up prices as they go. I have been going here for a couple of months only because I'm new to the area, and it's close to my house. I thought they were more expensive than my last place, but that's inflation, right? No, they literally change their prices every time I go. When I ask why, once they said it was because I asked for a different shape? Seriously!?! No nail salon has ever said that to me in 20 years! Don't go here. They can't do a good job, they lie about prices, and they are just not an honest establishment.

I asked if she…read morewas available within 1/2 an hour and they initially said yes but minutes later called to see if I could come 45 minutes later and that was fine. I got there on time and checked in and they gave me some nail swatches to look thru. After a few minutes, they sat me in a Pedi chair. I continued looking at the swatches and saw Sandy still doing a Pedicure. I turned on the massager on the chair and just chilled out. When she finally got to me, we exchanged pleasantries because it had been awhile since I last saw her. She's very friendly, kind and personable. I like to develop relationships with my Self-Care peeps and it's important to me that they're engaging, talented and easy to get along with. Sandy is that type of person. She's fast and helps me out. I showed her my one broken nail that I told I kept trying to grow out but kept breaking and showed her my thin, scraggly nails. I told her I was trying to grow them out for months after I stopped using Dip Powders. She hooked me up and made them look pretty even if the nails weren't long. Kudos to her and thank you for not letting me feel embarrassed about the state of my toes and nails, LOL!! She'd just say "It's okay! I'll take care of you!" :-)
