I'd give this business a 0 if I could. There's probably 2 techs I'd genuinely recommend and the other 90% are HORRIBLE. Some may argue with you about the colors and designs YOU choose. For example, the nail tech I received today. I wish I got his name but I was too blown away by his lack of experience. Anyway don't say I didn't warn you. Below is Inspo vs Reality. And a close up The pinky nail was pointing in a different direction too read more

The absolute WORST attitude and customer service. I came in with my 10 year old daughter for her to get a gel manicure. The lady that normally sits on the first chair and greets people decided to take our request. She had earbuds on and was talking with someone the entire time. I asked her not to cut my daughter's cuticles, she did it anyway. I assumed she had not heard me, as she was still on the phone, so I decided to just let it go. My daughter wanted a french, and when the lady did the first tip, I asked her if she could thin it out bc it was too thick. She completely ignored me. She then did the second one in the same way, so I repeated myself. Her reply, in a nasty loud manner was: "Will you relax? I'm not finished!". I was SHOCKED. I then replied: "Then answer me the first time so I know you heard me." She continued to ignore me and speaking on the phone. When she finally thinned them out, she asked my daughter if they were ok and in an extremely rude way said: "Yes, or NO?" Afterwards, she made my daughter extremely uncomfortable, rubbing cream up her arms in an extra firm way. On top of that, she charge me $45 for tiny nails and a crappy manicure that she completed in 15 minutes. It is a shame that people like these have jobs in AMERICA in service and treat customers like this, but it's even worse when it is for no reason and while servicing a child. I am never going back and I advise everyone never to come here. read more

I have been coming here for over 10 plus years and NEVER have I seen what I saw today. Mid appointment my tech was asking me how I was going to tip. When I said I didn't have cash and I would tip on card he was like no only Venmo or Cash App. So I said okay. Then maybe 5 minutes later he's bringing me his phone and telling me to scan the code. Then I scanned but decided I will WAIT FOR MY APPOINTMENT TO FINISH AS A NORMAL CUSTOMER DOES. He went to check his Venmo again after I scanned it maybe 2 minutes later. Like please just finish the service. Checked again while top-coating. Lost a customer. What a shame. Other places you can go close by. read more

Time goes by, nail techs abandon you, and it's always a little heartbreaking when a once favorited spot takes a turn for the worst. I used to love the service at Lumi, everyone was super friendly and meticulous, but these last two trips to the salon have left me unsatisfied. The last time I visited Lumi, I requested "very short" for my pedicure. I didn't want to be rude and ask again, so when the nail tech did half a pass with the nail file, I didn't speak up -- BIG mistake -- I went running a few days later and to my horror was left with large, dark bruises on both of my big toes due to the length of the nails. Also, I was talked into getting a gel polish, which the techs really push for some reason... and the machine really burned through the application (faulty machines perhaps?) Today I went back to have my gel removed and to take advantage of the Mon-Thurs $25 mani/pedi deal. Another not-so-welcome surprise was when I was instead charged $35 and when I asked they told me due to Covid they upped the price. While they had hand sanitizer accessible, I did see a few of the employees with their masks around their chins and drinking the water bottles that they used to offer the clients... another stingy change. Poor management and subpar employees have me questioning this salon and looking for a new nail spot. read more

It is badly mismanaged some of the nail tech do a good job, most don't, they are very loud speaking their foreign language and they ask tips to be cash and very pushy about it. They don't care about client satisfaction they just want to finish quick get paid, get tips and goodbye...very crapy read more

I had my nails dine on Saturday. I'm super disappointed. I got a dip manicure and regular pedi. The pedi was ok. No massage at all. He put my feet in to soak in regular water. No foot soak beads or anything. I did see others had it so I questioned it. Then the same guy did my dip. All was fine until Tueaday, of the same week, I noticed one nail chipped. I've never had a chipped nail with dip. My nail was actually coming away from the nail. In addition, I asked for a glitter layer on 2 nails. Then Wednesday, still of that same week, the entire glitter layer peed right off, in one sheet. Today is Thursday, the chips got worse so I'm taking it off. Complete waste of money. I won't go back. The only positive take-away was, it was a clean place. Sorry not sorry. read more

Bad experience several times. Guy there painted nails with the skills of a child all over my cuticles. I found two different techs there I liked..Vivian and Wyn but was told they don't take appointments walk-in only. Today I walked in and they had a waitlist. I was told an hour for my request. I walked the mall for an hour and checked back in to be told I couldn't have my nails done by either bc they have appointments coming in so complete waste of my time. Just seems like customer service could improve.. read more

LumiGarnet NailSpa - After 2 days only!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Miami, Florida

Following the events of Hurricane Irma, my sister-in-law and I made a mad dash to The Falls this evening for some much needed post-hurricane self grooming efforts. We walked in without an appointment, an hour and fifteen minutes prior to closing time. The spa was totally empty with about 5-6 staff on deck. We were seen immediately. The spa itself is really beautiful with state of the art massage chairs. The foot spas are squeaky clean and you can tell all their equipment is either fairly new or upheld really well. Understanding that it was really close to closing time, we both had two nail techs working our hands and feet at the same time. We were literally in and out in approximately 40 minutes. Our nails came out perfect, the staff was really pleasant and appreciative of our business. Reading all of the other reviews may sway you away from this place, but honestly, we had an amazing experience. I am so glad we chose to come here than to our usual spot in South Miami Heights. read more

Let me start of by saying this use to be my go to spot all the time. I would be here every two weeks however today is my last day ever coming. My nails were ruined and the customer service was horrible. The nail techs wanted to charge me full price for ruining my full set and extra to fix it. Don't come here. Save your money and time and go somewhere else. read more

Meeehhh, I've experienced better...I have given this place more than a few chances and every time I come, it seems to disappoint me more and more. The selling point is the $25 mani/pedi from Monday's thru Thursdays until 4 pm. The problem with that is too many customers coming for that price and so the wait could be upwards of an hour and they do the job in less than an hour for both! Now that would be great if the mani/pedi was done right, but it is not! The last time I went, the guy left my nails full of bubbles and I was so unimpressed and done with the whole experience that I just wanted to leave! That's how disappointing it was! It's like a meat factory where they have one customer after another after another that they don't care one bit about satisfying their customers. I give them 1 star for the sheer fact that they keep the place clean and it's nice and bright but other than that they get little love from me. I asked for some coffee and the guy pointed to one of the young girls helping fold towels. The young girl (probably on high school), grabbed the coffee carafe and was trying to fill it up with water when one of the other girls came yelling at her, berating her in front of everyone! I felt so bad for the girl! She left the carafe on top of the water fountain after the girl Was super rude to her! At that point, I was sorry I even asked for the coffee! It was never made! The young girl apologized to me when I paid. And I told her not to worry that I understood! So sad! They just lost this customer for the poor job and berating their subordinates! Bad business practice! read more

What is it they used to say? " A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" or something like that... So last week for my elderly parents' first outing since the pandemic began, I decided to take them to the Falls to walk safely outdoors and get some much needed exercise. One of the first stores we saw was LumiGarnet NailSpa advertising a promo mani-pedi for $25. I could see from her expression that my mom really wanted a little pampering and, although we had agreed that we would not go into any stores and increase the risk of exposure, I stopped to check out the nail salon. First things first, I looked around and saw everyone taking precautions, the place looked clean and there was hand sanitizer everywhere. In addition, a sign said all customers must wash their hands before being helped. It was clear they were doing their best to keep everyone safe. The friendly receptionist even agreed to keep an eye out for my mom to make sure she didn't forget to keep safe (she is 81 after all). Fast forward: Even though I paid $20 to upgrade to the gel nail polish which is supposed to last a minimum of two week's,, the polish started peeling. She's had gel many times before done at LaBelle Beauty ACADEMY by students and at other salons that wouldn't come off without soaking in some sort special nail polish remover. We went back to get them fixed - most places will fix them for you within 2 weeks. After acknowledging that her nail polish shouldn't have peeled, the receptionist asked if she wanted another manicure and began to sell her a different kind of polish. Of course, I pushed back and told her that we were simply seeking to get her thumb nail fixed as it should have peeled. After a little back-and-forth and having spoken to her manager if we wanted them fixed we would have to pay for a whole new manicure. They didn't even offer to fix the really bad one or give a deal on the new manicure. I was really happy we had found this place for her to go get her nails fixed at the mall where she can walk around safely in the outdoors In a beautiful, shaded and sometimes air-conditioned location. Sadly, I must say, that this bird in the hand got away! No matter how nice you are to me, how great your customer service is during the sales process, if, when it comes time, you won't stand behind your work, you won't be seeing me again. read more

Went in for the special and was comvinced to do gel since it would last longer. My daughters gel nails began to break the day after placement. My gel nail manicure began chipping less than a week and peeled off damaging my nails. I spent nearly $200 and was told it would last 2 to 3 weeks. Will not go back. Do not trust. read more

Place is bright and clean- no loud club music-- all good there. We were told to wash our hands and then no direction for about 15 minutes standing up while there were 8 chairs open. Once they sat us they left us soaking in cold water (not warm even at the beginning) for about 20 minutes. They don't really pumice or Primo your feet, asked her to file down-- not done. On gel manicure, she complained when I said yes to a 3rd coat of funny bunny. Stating my nails weren't smooth so to previous gel.... She never buffed them. Doesn't touch the cuticle or fill the nail bed with gel...it looks like I have a weeks worth of nail growth already. Not worth coming here. read more

I went here against better judgment. The reviews were horrible, but someone recommended them. I should have trusted the reviews. This place is notorious for changing prices every time you go, they literally charge whatever they want every time. Aside from that, I got my nails done a week ago and the polish is already peeling off. They give you a hard time when you reach out because they weren't done properly. They are overpriced and unprofessional. read more

When I 20 years old, I didn't believe in love at first sight. But all of that changed when I walked into LumiGarnet. You always get greeted with a wonderful smile, you can't really see the smile because of these dang masks, but I know it's there. Once you get seated on their beautiful massage thrones, a nail angel will begin to work miracles on your feet. The work they do is basically surgery; I get a reoccurring ingrown toenail on my right big toe that could be very painful, but when I leave LumiGarnet, the pain is gone, and my stoke levels are at an all time high. All in all, I'd highly recommend this place to all my bros! I'd even take my own mother here! With so much divide in our country, LumiGarnet is what America needs right now! So, stop the hate by coming to LumiGarnet, not only are you doing yourself a favor, but you're fulfilling your civil duty as an American. read more

The nails here (especially dip manicures) are always worth the wait. I've been coming here for a while now (was recommended by a friend) and all staff members are really nice and greet you warmly. Catalina (FOH) is always super nice and takes the time to get to know everyone. Making an appointment is crucial and staff will do their best to accommodate. Nice nails take time! The prices are a bit on the higher side but you get what you pay for. If you decide to do a dip manicure and a pedicure, expect to be in the chair for a good amount of time. read more

I wouldn't even give this place one star , but a zero star option is not available. Do not go here! They are scammers and steal your money. Tiffany is rude and unprofessional and treats the clients like trash. I had a gift card given by a friend and she would not accept the gift card that she personally sold to her. She was shown the receipt, the transaction and still denied the gift card. I had to pay and my friend paid for two gift cards. Apparently they tend to do this often when you read the reviews or act as if the computer system is down. She ignored me and wouldn't even speak directly to me and went back to doing nails for her client after she denied the gift card that had funds. We need to shut this place down! This place has no business being open. Delinquent place. read more

Took my 9 year old daughter and two of her friends here before heading to a concert for her birthday. Had them each do a polish change. While the girl was very nice, she did not speak any English and spent 5 minutes on each girl. It took 15 minutes for 3 little girls polish changes, which isn't bad because I realize it was not a full manicure but was in shock when the girl told me the total was $30!!!! She did not even put clear polish on top of their nails after painting them, needless to say all of the girls had chipped nails by the end of the night. Total waste of money. I will never be back!!!! **this was at the sunset place location read more

I love it. I've been coming here for years. It's a great location in a nice outdoor mall. Yes it may be pricier than other places but it's in The Falls. They have specials during the week if you want to pay less. Not all techs are created equal (that's why I'm giving it a 4) so it can suck to get a bad tech but that just hasn't been my experience. They take appointments, ask for Kim, Tiffany or Van. You won't be disappointed. And yes, like any other place, they can fall a little behind. Have a glass of wine or a cup of coffee. Plenty of parking. They have other treatments (brows, spa predicates, etc.). read more

I have been going to LumiGarnet for 5+ years and was a loyal client of Linh's. I am very disappointed with the way this salon has significantly decreased in quality. The customer service from the receptionists and technicians alike are lacking to say the least. Your appointment time is never honored and your requests (square nails, filed/cut short, etc.), are ignored. Nobody wants to pay your high prices and leave unsatisfied and with a bad taste in their mouth. I am sad to say I am now seeking a different salon. LumiGarnet- you need to do better! read more

I've been going to this salon since before gel nail polish was a thing. When they first opened they were impeccable. As time has gone on their quality has gone down. For the most part I've never had a terrible experience some techs leave my nails ok some leave them perfect! The main reason I gave them 4 stars is because consistency is key and with the utensils some keep them in a crayon box and use them for everyone that comes to get a mani pedi Other use the sterilized tools that come in a sealed packet. The nail filer and foot scrubber are disposable and a new pair for each client is used. The place is cute as well. The chairs are comfy. Their prices aren't bad either. If you come in Monday - Thursday before 4pm the gel mani regular pedi is only $40! You can't beat that price. My gel usually last more than two weeks too. read more

This nail salon in the Falls shopping center has really gone downhill and is the worst experience EVER!!! I had acrylic fingernail fill ins . Worst ever. When she was done pieces of nail was hanging off several nails and each nail tip was jagged a rough not smooth as it should be. Her name is supposedly. VICKY and she is absolutely the worst and very rude about it! I asked her nicely to fix it and she was so bothered to do so. It was so bad she could not fix with the nail file she had to use electric one and it took another 20 minutes that is how bad she did my manicure, what bothered me the most is afterward she retrieved an old worn out stained bristles nail brush, THREW it into the sink and told me USE IT NOW and started to speak in her native tongue with a very angry tone flipping her head around!! Well I left I did not go use the nappy old nail brush I am a human being paying customer NOT A DOG!!!! Ban this place immediately! They are so bad and the owner does not care at all!!! Forget them so many other great nail salons! No wonder they are open on Monday's to take business from most salons that are commonly closed on Mondays! Well never never again!!! Trash! read more

As I got to my car I got a call that it was my turn. I explained my time situation and she assured me someone was ready for me right then. I went back in and 20 mins later, no one had even spoken To me. I understand you have to wait sometimes, but lying to me, and completely wasting my time out of greed is unacceptable.

BUYER BEWARE! Never left a review before, but I am so shocked and disheartened, and want to WARN YOU. Came by this store to get powder nails and toenail gel polish REMOVAL ONLY - was told (by the gentleman at the front) it would be $20. Came by the following week to have it done. The woman, who apparently handles all of the business but claims not to be the owner, was extremely rude and gruff. I tried to make conversation, she filed the top of the nails down too far, split my toe nail, nicked my fingernail bed, etc. I have NEVER been treated so nastily in a salon, and was embarrassed and disappointed. When I was finished, she told me it was $40. I asked about the difference in price, and she said the man quoted the price incorrectly, that the price would be $20 each (hands and feet). I thought that was high (and felt like it was Bait & Switch) but I wrote it off as a bad experience, and even left her an additional tip, and left. I was so taken aback at the rude behavior that I had encountered. My nails will take a long time to recover! Yesterday, when checking my credit card - I saw that she changed me $80! I called the salon, spoke to the same woman, and before explaining the details, I asked again for the price for getting dipped nails AND gel toes removed - again I was told $20. I confirmed this price, asking again - that is "for both?", just to be sure. Then, I explained my situation and told her I had been charged $80. She told me I had to come in person, and bring my credit card statement. I went by today, and she pulled the receipt and showed me I signed for $44. I knew this. I showed her the credit card statement. She refused to help and was rude and said I needed to call the credit card company. I stepped outside and did so - as she left me no choice but to file a formal complaint to dispute the charge. Afterward, I went back in and told her there would be an investigation and I had filed a complaint, and I asked her for the owner's contact. She refused to provide it and this time urgently asked me to call the credit card company back to cancel my claim and said that NOW she would refund the difference. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I told her she lost a customer (not that she would care) and I will spread the word. Now I am reading these reviews, only to find this is a pattern. Wish I had checked here first - BUYER BEWARE!!! Never again! read more

I was incredibly happy with my gel mani and regular pedi! I had Don who was wonderful. I'm usually nervous to go on a day when they're having a special (Sunday's right now are buy regular mani pedi and get one of them upgraded to a gel). I think extremely reasonably priced for how good of a job they did. And I'm extremely picky when it comes to my nails. read more

I went in for a mani/pedi and was extremely disappointed with the lack of customer service. Instead, of being greeted with a hello, I was rudely asked "what I want!" After, this I told to wash my hands and pick a color which I did, and to sit in the front chair. I asked the nail tech if this was the seat he wanted me to sit at just to make sure. The technician responded, yay that's the first chair right and rolled his eyes. At this point I said have a great afternoon and left. I will never be going here again. read more
