I have been seeing Henry since the day they opened Royal Nails in Denver off Santa Fe and I can honestly say they are the best. Henry is so thorough and patient. When I turned 30 my patience seemed to evaporate but Henry stuck it out with me. His wife is the best eyebrow waxer I've ever experienced! All in all a fantastic choice and not $100,000 for a mani/pedi. read more

Get Your Nails Did on the Cheap I came here with some hesitation. My usual spot usually runs close to $30 for a no frills, unimpressive pedicure. I think I paid around $22 at Royal Nails. They did a much better job than I am used to. I will definitely be back. read more

I am so so so happy to have found Royal Nails. I am a recent transplant to Denver from NYC, so finding Nga (owner and amazing nail tech) was a big deal for me. Nga and Henry own this shop and they are lovely. Not only do the provide the BEST acrylics I've ever had, they are sooooo nice and friendly. I get compliments all the time on my nails - I always get nude natural looking colors, so this is a testament to Nga's skill set. Honestly - love this place and that it's a family business. read more

EDIT TO RESPOND TO OWNER: Hello! thank you for reaching out! I thought your entire staff was kind and accommodating. I had a relaxing time at the shop and was happy to spend my money this way. The reason I gave 3 stars is because the paint on my toes began to chip right away and my cuticles on my hands were cut a bit too deep - nothing major. 2-3 bubbles appeared on my gel polish manicure. Again, my experience was good, but perhaps the quality of polish should be reviewed at the shop. _______________ This is a no-frills kind of place, meaning that the decor and equipment is not upscale or fancy, but it gets the simple jobs done which is exactly what I was looking for. I asked for a simple gel manicure and normal paint pedicure - one color, no designs, very simple i'm pleased with the outcome of my nails and considering it's the city i think $60 total was a relatively affordable price. I liked that the nail tech I had was not pushing me to add more to my bill. I came in on a Thursday and they were not busy. My total time in shop was less than an hour. I would come back here for another quick mani-pedi read more

I had a full set put on and then a rebase done with two different staff members and both were great! I also got a gel pedicure done and really liked it. The first set was gel and the second was dip. They did a great job matching photos of what I wanted and asking me along the way if I liked it. They are really busy and my members had to get up a few times to help other customers despite me having appointments, but overall they were nice. read more

I feel like I was robbed of an enjoyable salon experience and then was robbed from the grossly overpriced service. I got a shellac pedicure and a no frills, no polish manicure and was charged $62. My calf massage was cut short by a call on my beautician's smart wrist watch. She took the call and completely forgot that she had only just barely touched my left calf. Next, I got my "manicure" which took less than 5 minutes and even less attention because my beautician was busy looking at the door. I NEVER get manicures but figured I'd get one since I just got back from camping and had hard to reach dirt under some of my nails. The dirt is very much still there. read more

Was skeptical at first but by the end I was SO impressed. Henry did a great job getting my nails looking the way I wanted, natural look with the dip. I can't wait for them to grow out a bit more so I can go back and have him do the ombré dip. Definitely a diamond in the rough. read more

Across the street from King Soopers? Direct neighbors with a Liquor Store? Located right at Speer/Colfax/Santa Fe in downtown Denver... How did I not realize this nail salon existed? Talk about convenience! Facility & Services: average time, below average decor, and above average pricing. BUT coming from a girl who rarely gets her nails manicured: it gets the job done! (and I personally do not understand the rave on gel sets, by the way!) One downside is that the technicians do not seem well-versed in customer service standards are. I usually find comfort in getting to know my technician by asking for their opinions during the manicure. Not only did my technician not seem to understand the request - which is rare - but he also opted not to answer the times he did understand! Kind of strange. In summary... Regarding location, efficient timing, and lacking the need to make a bestie with the nail technician... Royal Nails is the perfect place for me! read more

Royal Nails - This is the only picture I have of my Manicure from Royal Nails! Wasn't a fan of the color I selected. - Nail Salons Near Me - LakeWood, Colorado

Amazing! Had a pedicure for an event in Denver. It was still perfect a month later! Definitely come here if you don't want to pay an arm and a leg for a quality pedicure. The people who work here are extremely nice and professional. On my way out l decided l also wanted an eyebrow wax for my event. The lady was quick and very efficient. One of the best and quickest waxes l have ever had! :) read more

I came in because I had a nail emergency. I'm not from Denver so I kinda just picked a spot blind. The salon itself is nothing fancy. Overall looks clean , the neighborhood is a little sketchy looking. Just my opinion. But they did a good job on my nails. My only complaint is that they don't have many gel colors to chose from. read more

Everyone is friendly and super accommodating- good nails at a good price I like getting my acrylics done by Nam(probably spelling her name wrong, sorry) highly recommend her to any of my friends read more

I got my nails done for my wedding and Henry did an amazing job! I've tried at least 4 different salons and this by far the best. Everywhere I've gone always make my nails super thick and messy but Henry made them perfect to my liking. He made sure that I actually liked my nails and was satisfied with the design. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Awesome place good price great service. Be better off if you book in advance cause they get busy. Only downside is they're closed on Sunday. Went during covid the only place I see take it seriously. read more

Never come here, brought my daughters for full sets. My daughter's nails look amateur, nail tech started cutting her nails and said if I cut shorter its $5.00 extra..What???? Then she tells here here is a perfect length and clearly they are not. See photo, my youngest has an ok looking set, oldest daughter is livid. Please don't come here, we should have went to Mai Nails on Alameda. read more

Short version: avoid at all costs. I've never actually had to walk out of a nail place halfway through the job. Really, I should have known better by the stench of chemicals when I walked in that something wasn't right. Whomever this woman was doing my nails, she either has zero command of the English language, wasn't listening or didn't care. She was rushing through my foot so much that it was actually hurting me until I asked her to stop. Then, she tells me that my heels need scrubbing and I tell her that this is why I am here. She proceeds to use some soft brush on it that will do zero good to me. I get my feet done on a weekly basis, I think I'm pretty used to the routine and this was certainly not right. So she hands me some menu 10 minutes into the job and I just say: Just fix my heels, this is why I'm here. Nope, not understanding. Anyway, at this point I've had enough and I just stood up and walked out. This was a first. Ever. Effin disaster. Don't go there. Seriously. read more

This has been a reliable and creative nail shop for over 15 years! And I love how they haven't changed !!! Top down a go too!

I've gotten my nails done here 3 times and it always comes out good! And their prices aren't bad, $40 for acrylic and gel polish including the $5 coffin fee. They employees are very nice and make sure you like your nails as they work! read more

Lets face it...white people just can't get it right when it comes to nails. They charge too much and do a job that never lasts. I have been looking for a place where I can get a good mani/pedi without breaking the bank. under $50 for a pedi and a shellac mani. This place it's my new go-to. Such a quality job! Thanks! Oh, and one girl was asking about sterilizing equipment. Yes they do it. its by the wall next to their pedicure chairs. And they don't use the cheese grater on your feet either... just a pumice stone. Plus a calf massage! read more

I went to Royal nails after a bad experience elsewhere. Super friendly girl did my nails (Tu I believe her name was) and the gentleman working there was attentive as well. He even played guitar while I was getting my pedi done. It was neat! Very attentive, detail oriented, and always smiling. I'll definitely go back! read more

Doesn't look like much but they do a good job and it seemed clean and well-run.

I received a mani/pedi with a full set of acrylic french tip nails. $20 for pedi, $22 for french tip acrylic nails. No waiting, friendly staff, and professional level services. I was most impressed with the lengthy foot and calf massage. Definitely will come back, fills are only $14!!! :D read more

I really loved Henry's work when I went there three weeks ago. But I went again yesterday and the lady who did my nails was very rushed. I neither asked for gel, nor was I aware of the price (which was my fault) but they charged me for gel when I never asked for it. There was a lot of misunderstanding but overall I ended up picking my nails off. read more

T did my pink and whites, and they're absolutely perfect! I'm on the picky side, so when my coworker recommended Royal Nails, I considered first that hers are done well. We got in right away during lunch, and the atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming. My nails are the perfect thickness, shape, and most importantly (to me) pink:white ratio. I'm very impressed-I have a standing date with T, every 20 days or so! read more

I've only been once, but I'm going to continue to go there for as long as I'm in Denver. $5 for a polish change? $11 for a plain manicure? Yeah, this reminds me of home (L.A.). Quality service and fantastic prices. Get your eyebrows done, too, if that's your thing, b/c it's $8 and I watched two customers walk away happy. read more

Royal Nails - light pink tips - Nail Salons Near Me - LakeWood, Colorado

It is in a great location with plenty of parking and is reasonably priced for downtown. Positives- there was no wait at all, however I went during lunch on a Tuesday. It is very quite and they have an excellent selection of polishes and services. Seems fairly clean. Negatives- the staff was not super friendly or welcoming. It was advertised for an extended massage with this service however that was not provided. Don't expect any frills like a drink! Recommendations- get a lower level pedicure, the woman next to me got the basic and it seemed to include everything from the mid level pedicure. Make an appointment if you are coming during non work hours. read more

My cousin got her nails done and they look so pretty, that I decided to get mines done. So I searched and searched on Yelp for a good salon, and read all the reviews and it was really hard to find one since people had both the worst and the best experience. Then read how people got a fungus or whatever, and my friends say that their fingernails really hurt and it will be hard to do things, so that made me worried. It took me a while to finally go to a nail salon, Royal Nails is actually really close to my house, so that is convienent for me, so I went with my cousin cause she needed to rebase her nails, it was a slow day and there was no one there so we got help really fast, that place didn't smell like I thought it would. I got Henry and my cousin got another lady maybe it's his wife not sure, but his english is really good, so I told him this was my first time and he was very nice, he worked pretty fast. He cut my nails really good, I don't like other people cutting my nails but he was good. He put the acrylics on and all that other stuff, he didn't really talk much which was fine cause I wanted him to concentrate on my nails, he worked really fast and they came out so good!!!!! I love them so much!!!!! Even though it took him like 30 minutes to do it, they came out great and my cousins nails came out great as well!!!!!!!!!! This place doesn't look like much, but they do a great job, this lady came for a pedicure and the girl that was working on her was really nice! I would definitely come back for a rebase and my fingers don't hurt, but I can't type really fast. The price is reasonable too. :) read more

Royal Nails - Full Set with French Tip - Nail Salons Near Me - LakeWood, Colorado

The air conditioning was working when I was there this afternoon... I wish I lived in Denver; this would be my nail joint! I walked in (had a few hours to kill) and got a pedicure and shellac manicure. No waiting (but every other chair was taken). My gal was great (Tu?), friendly, professional and super helpful with my indecisive self in color choice. The decor is nothing to write home about but the paint looked new and it did not have that acrylic smell many salons have (either they don't do that many of them or have great ventilation). My total was under $50 (that never happens in Las Vegas). Super happy :) :) :) read more

This place sucks! I had a mani and a pedi - she cut my finger, left all kinds of edges on my nails. Didn't remove calloused skin from my fingers and rushed the hell out of it. Honestly, and this isn't coming out of anger... I could do a better job myself. To be fair, I'm from NYC which has some of the best spa's in the country. Nevertheless these kind of mistakes are just out of line. Sincerely Guy with crap nails read more

Ignore the location. Yes it's kinda in a weird strip mall. But it is worth it. I had 3 broken nails and needed a re-base. I had everything fixed and touched up for $18.00. The service was great and the place clean. It is dated but you're going for the nail treatments. I was in and out within 30 minutes. The staff is really nice and not too pushy. New favorite denver nail place. read more

Not a fan. I went in to get a regular manicure and was pretty underwhelmed. I wanted an opaque nude color and usually have no problem finding something. The only one they had was translucent. Overall the color selection was lacking. The service was very quick. I love to get in and out but in this case the quality was very poor. There was no reason to rush as I was the only person there with three people working. Another review mentioned that his nails were cut unevenly with ridges. I also had this happen and the shape was lopsided on a few nails. By the time I was home my thumb had chipped a bit even though I was VERY careful. On the brighter side, the staff was pleasant (kind of quiet) and the price was fine as well. If you are desperate, you could do worse, but be prepared for a lower quality manicure. read more

Uhhhh... Worst nails ever! Granted, I wanted to change my color from darker to lighter, which I know can be challenging if they are not prepared to take off all the old color which seems to be the case in most places around here. Well, this guy did not voice any opinion on it being a problem, so he did my new nails on top of still most of the darker stuff left there and now I have random dark purple spots showing both through the new color and under my nails.. He realized it looked bad and started trying to get the old color off from UNDER my nails. That resulted in my own nails being super short and uncomfortable underneath and STILL the old color showing. Also the place was dirty and did not have any vacuums to suck in the dust so I felt like I was breathing nail dust the whole time.. Gotta go find a place that will fix these terrible nails for me :( read more

The Guy who made my mani shellac was toooo lame with his work and don't put too much detail. .....aweful job not worth $$ He was also- Not good in regular manicure or pedicure too!!! .....shame!p Maybe he is just good to glue "plastic nails" read more

The bad reviews on this place are really surprising to me. I love Royal Nails. I went in today and was out within 30 minutes with the best gel manicure I've had in Denver. Na was super quick, filed the perfect shape, cleaned up my cuticles really nicely, and the polish looks great. Someone wrote that they don't have a lot of gel colors but I was actually really surprised at how many colors they did have (at least 4 or 5 wheels of colors with 10 colors on each wheel....) oh and did I mention it was only 26 bucks?! That is the best price around town. My new go-to place!! read more

Na is the best, she does an awesome job every time. I do a little bit of an almond and stiletto and she never disappoints me! Everyone is really nice, for some customers a lot of polish colors are of importance, but for me I use my own so I have no complaints. You cant beat $14 re-base/fills and a perfect shape! I usually make an appointment just to be sure, but walk-in's are not bad at all. Summer can get a little busy though. read more

I've been going here for years, I don't go anymore because they used to be the only place I would go and they would do so good and do the designs how I like them and they were decent in pricing. Now they charge for everything and SUCK! They rush through a full set; leave nail polish on the side of your fingers and they nails just look sideways and gross. Pedicures went up too and no matter which one you get the massage is short lived and isn't worth the price. Good luck if you decide to go but I never will again. read more

I have been going to Royal Nails on and off over the years and they have never done a bad job. When I recently went to a different salon and found myself bleeding a little too much from a few too many places on my hands in the first 10 minutes of the manicure, I excused myself from the salon and sped (sorry, Mom) over to Royal Nails to get in there before they closed to salvage my manicure. They took me in even though it was nearly closing time and fixed up the other salon's whack job on my hands. They also only charged me for a polish application. These people do a very good job on nails and toes and are honest business people. Sometimes they don't focus very much on hand or foot massage during your service, which is something a lot of people look for when choosing a nail salon. They are so reliably and consistently good, and I've found their manicures to be the longest lasting that I am giving them 4 stars. read more

I've only been in once so far, but overall I'm pleased. I was a walk in and was helped right away. My gel mani lasted almost 2 weeks and I am very hard on my nails. My regular pedi is still going strong. I'm going in for my second visit later today and will update my review with a pic soon. read more

Walked in and each spa chair was filled with super straight, super metro guys, all needing their pedicures in time for Monday night football. Ok, I digress. We are asked to come back in an hour. We come back in an hour and all those same dudes are sitting there, yacking away about their girlfriends shopping habits and this seasons draft picks. We sat their an additional 15 minutes with no acknowledgment of our existance and then walked out. read more

The pedicures start at $20 but you get what you pay for. It was the fastest pedicure I've ever had and my feet are still VERY rough. I regret tipping and I'm not back. Its too bad cause I work close and this could have been a regular place for me. The employee never tried greeted me and never asked if I'd been there before or how I found them. She did not engage me at all during my visit. In fact, when she cut my toenail - she has cut my skin too and I pulled back and said ouch. She never said sorry. She literally grabbed my foot and kept going COMPLETELY disregarding the pain she caused. If I could of given zero stars on this review I would have. read more
