I really was hoping for the best, but that's sort of what I get for waiting til the last minute to get my nails done. I had called ahead to ask if they could fit in a last minute nail appointment, and they said yes. Had gone in with the hopes of just getting simple acrylic black matte coffin shaped nails. Nothing super special or fancy, and something I believe anyone can do. Upon sitting down, I was greeted by a male tech (not an issue at all, I've had my nails done by men before and they've looked great). Sat down, and got started. He began to file my nails AGGRESSIVELY. I didn't want to complain so I didn't say anything. He proceeded to cut and shorten my cuticles, which he proceeded to cut too short twice, on both hands. My cuticles were bleeding, and he just shrugged it off. After cutting my cuticles, he cut the nails with a strange angle. I kept asking if he was going to fix it, or if he could shorten it and he said yes (he never did). They were not coffin shaped. After applying polish and the matte cover, my fingers were BURNING. I've never experienced this before in all my life, and it was very painful for at least an hour afterwards. After an hour of being on my hands, my left ring finger matte finish began to bubble?? It was so strange. I was so unhappy with them, I ended up taking them off after getting home. Very disappointed and will not be returning. read more

I brought my daughter in for a mani & pedi, and Tony turned it into a comedy show w bonus sparkles. Not only did he nail the manicure (pun intended), but he also had my daughter giggling like she was front row at a stand-up set. Honestly, I'm not sure if we paid for nail art or live entertainment. Either way, would definitely return. read more

My daughter was getting a mani pedi with gel nail polish on her hands. I was getting a pedi. I only take my daughter to get her nails done on special occasions which this was one of them. She was getting gel for the first time. What was suppose to be relaxing, enjoyable and calming felt extremely rushed. She must have had her feet in the water for 5 minutes. We sat in the chairs and waited for 15 minutes before the water was started. Her entire service was less than 30min. While I understand she's a kid, we're still paying customers. For $55 just for her I was expecting a little more from this place especially because they claim "not be like like others" her nails were a decent length which just required filing, but were cut without asking. She felt rushed to pick colors and chose different ones that she initially wanted. Until I noticed and spoke up for her. If you're in the business of hospitality and spa like environments. People should walk out with a smile on their face and happy. Not feeling they wished they would have gone to a different place. There was not much attention to detail on her nails. She had nail polish on her fingers and the ends of her nails felt rough, which shouldn't especially with gel nail polish. We won't be going back read more

I've never left a bad review but I'm shocked by the gel manicure I got. My nails feel butchered...I just asked for a simple gel manicure with chrome. There was no attention to detail, my cuticles weren't even pushed back and all the corners of my nails were cut (which is painful). She was working so fast as if there were people waiting....there was only one other person getting their nails done. The only thing she got right was the color I wanted. That was not worth $50+ for the quality I was given. read more

I want to start this review by saying this has nothing to do with their customer service. They are all lovely here. I went in asking for a new dip manicure, and unfortunately what I got was sub par. I'm pretty sure the gentleman doing my nails used the wrong dip adhesive and was using a gel top coat instead, because the dip powder kept sliding off my nail causing him to half to put like 6 layers of dip on. The dip was super uneven which made him file the dip down significantly. So much so that you can see my bare nail through the dip on a lot of my nails. Most of my nails look thick, uneven and chunky, or even dented. My pedicure was great, but the lady who does them either pushes to give you a design or does it anyway without telling you... I absolutely would have stayed to have them fix it but I was there at that point for almost 3 hours and just wanted to leave. read more

I'm not one to write poor reviews but today I'm saddened to say that I had a not so good experience with this salon. It was my first time and I asked for an acrylic gel French tip pedicure. I showed the example pictures just to give my lady an idea. I think she was confused and started doing just gel and I asked if we were still doing acrylics..the owner said that it's not to late to fix but I didn't want to give the lady a hard time and we continued with gel. I had a broken nail on my big toe so she only did one overlay on that toe. For the regular pedicure ($30) and a gel French tip design($25) and an ($8) overlay on one nail..total came out to $63. I was originally overcharged and asked to see the menu and she did overcharge me after matching her ACTUAL prices. She charged me more because the French tip design I showed her was not the "usual French tip design"...I promise it's was a regular French tip design. I wish they would have told me prior to doing it that it was going to be more even though regular French tip design is all I wanted. The overall look is not bad at all but this experience and trying to scam me was unbelievable. read more

So this is a follow up from the last post. Turns out you can't just use over the counter meds to get rid of the fungus this nail salon gave me. I had to make a doctor apt $25, and there are two options for recovery. First is typical: takes four weeks to up to four months to heal!!!! No Polish or nails allowed during that time!!! Cost $12 with insurance... but if you get it on three or more nails they want you to take oral medication however the oral is hard on liver so you have to have a liver test before they will give it to you!!!! It all could have been avoided if the man who did my nails, sanitize his tools properly, and use proper sterilizing agents to ensure that I did not get fungus under my nails!! I'm still pissed!!!!! read more

Well, they changed ownership and now it's awful. I had a pedicure and Tony rushed through it and did a terrible job while the whole time trying to upsell me on gel and when I said no he started in on flowers. Nope again. He jammed an object under my nail while trying to clean there which was very painful. Worst yet, I had the callous removal and he kept showing me and everyone there the gunk he literally grated off my foot. To top it off, he was in such a rush that he missed the second coat on part of my big toe. Of course, I didn't see it until I went home after this $50+ pedicure. This used to be a nice establishment where the staff were respectful and kind. As soon as we sat down, the employees started in talking amongst themselves in Vietnamese which I do not speak. My mom forgot her color number and the man there was very rude while talking to her. We will not be back read more

My daughter and I were looking for a salon that could take us both for 2 services each, and when we called Royal nails Jackie was great. She was able to get us in, even though she had a lot of scheduled clients and she did an amazing job. Jackie is sweet, upfront and honest, and wants to give you the best possible experience. She was so efficient and she did beautiful work. The pricing was good as well, and everyone at the salon was friendly and did a great job. Another thing that I loved seeing was that Jackie (and staff) actually disinfected the tools they use and the little nail drill bit pieces. Their pedicure chairs had liners and they opened new bags of tools when they began the pedicure. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be back for sure. read more

Happened to find this place while I was at a brow appointment next door. I'm so glad I did! I went to a nail salon (yesterday) and had the worst nails done of my life. I explained that here and they helped me fix the shape of my nails, the color and a polish change on my toes! The ambiance is so cool. Such a cute shop! The owner was so friendly and made me feel at home. Frank and Anna were seriously the best!!!! This will be my forever nail spot! Definitely give them a try! You won't be disappointed! read more

I have been a loyal customer to Royal Nails for eight years and now that they've changed ownership they no longer have the excellent service they used to have. Jackie and Frank were amazing at customer service. I went in there today because I got my nails done two weeks ago and the paint is already wearing off the Tips and they wanted me to pay full price to get them fixed again. My nails usually last a month Frank was amazing at doing my nails, well I'm sad to say they lost a very loyal customer today. Also, their prices have gone up, and their service went down. read more

Love Jackie and frank! The cutest couple and owners of this little gem inside a plaza I never knew existed. They take their time and precision for each client and never make you feel rushed or unwelcome. I've been to so many different nail salons where I've made appointments and always had to wait longer and never felt appreciated. Not only are they time efficient and professional, they are so sweet and easy to talk to! Also, my nails always last more than 3 weeks and barely chip. Frank is absolutely flawless when it comes to doing my nails! 10/10 recommend! You won't regret it!! Plus they're locals! read more
