THIS is the nail spot to be at! I moved here 7 months ago and have tried several salons in the area, and nothing compares. The tech expertise, attention to detail, and genuine friendliness here are unmatched. Every visit feels welcoming, and I always leave beyond satisfied. I will not go anyways else. Highly recommend! read more

I truly hope that people are reading current reviews, because this is a great little shop! I am always on the hunt for the best pedicure around. It seems as soon as I really like a place, the sands shift. I requested a deluxe pedicure, and the young woman that performed it did a really nice job on both my nails and the massage. It is a very relaxing and pleasant place. I will definitely be returning! read more

Please be mindful of reviews from over a year ago. Same name but different ownership and very different experiences!! I only gave it another chance because a friend suggested they were better now. I had a classic pedicure and dip manicure. The pedicure was gentle enough I was comfortable enough but she put the effort into the trouble areas. Provided a drink and comfy, operating massage chair. The leg massage was just what I needed! The dip manicure was very well done. Someone complimented my nails yesterday and it's been 2 weeks since I had them done! I would be mindful of your schedule and not be in a hurry. They were kind and take the time to do a good job. read more

The service is amazing they get you in typically pretty quick. They offer complimentary drinks and everyone is always so friendly! It's very clean and they keep up with what nail designs are trending so they can do any inspiration I've ever brought in and requested. read more

Fantastic experience! Clean, professional, and precise. My nails look amazing, and the staff was so friendly!

New ownership at Royal Nails. Ivy, the owner, is awesome and did a wonderful job! Will definitely be returning!

Royal Nails is under new ownership. They are all anazing. they keep the salon very clean and the music is relaxing . The staff is friendly. They will even stay late. They truly love what they do. Great customer service and Tom has done a fantastic job on my manicure and pedicure. I will continue to go back. I have beenthree times under new owners and had a great experience. read more

Today was my first time getting my nails properly done, and the staff were so kind and did such an amazing job. I got a gel manicure with a different color on each nail, and the wonderful lady who painted my nails did such a great job! The ambient music and the chill vibe of the shop were definitely relaxing, and I will definitely be back! read more

Not worth it she kept saying just talk to ur mom and u won't even notice that I'm hurting u and saying see i didn't even cut u when I kept saying ow bc she was drilling so far down and hitting my skin, to add on they got into an argument with my mom bc she didn't get the color she asked for they gave her clear when she asked for light blue we walked out with my thanks perfect but our nails burning in there and walking out the picture below is all the proof y'all need!! read more

I just had a pedicure at Royal Nails. First time in shop since Lisa's passing. Hannah did a wonderful job. Please give them a try. You will not be disappointed! read more

Got a pedicure here yesterday (10/21/24) I met the new owners who were super nice! Very clean salon and my pedicure was wonderful! I will definitely be coming back monthly for my pedicure! Thank you so much for a great experience! read more

I wish I could give this place zero stars! I went for a polish change and thank goodness I brought my own sandals because this place RECYCLES the flip flops that people leave behind. That's disgusting, unsanitary, and CHEAP! Speaking of cheap.. the owners actually put rubber bands under the sanitizer nozzle to keep people from getting a full pump of hand sanitizer. PETTY! The nail polishes are watered down and leaves streaks on your nails and feet because they keep adding thinner to the polish to stretch it out. Not worth it. I will never return to this nail salon. read more

Royal Nails - CHEAP! - Nail Salons Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Horrible! I got a pedicure and manicure with shellac and dip. Whole thing was done in less than 40 minutes and cost me 92 dollars. The pedicure itself lasted 10 minutes. I specifically went for a good pedicure as I'm due to give birth any day now and literally did nothing to my feet except put them in hot water and put the polish on. Will not go back read more

Very unpleased atm!!!! I go to the same nail salon every week pay 32 for a full set with shellac and then 25 for fill in with shellac today she told me I owed 38 for fill in and shellac and I got a nail fixed how in the hell does that make since!!!!! I went the fuck off also explained that my nails look terrible!! They were not willing to fix the problem or make it better so time to hunt for a new nail salon!!!!! Ugh look at this shit!!!! All my nails are supposed to look like my pinky and yeah clearly that is not the case read more

I've been going here for several years and the entire staff is like family. I'm always happy with my nails.

I was pleased at first.. but after really looking at my nail they did not push my cuticle back and give a decent manicure. Because if that I have a lot of growth look in a week due to not get a decent manicure.. not a complete two weeks one pops off.. I didn't spend $97 dollar for them to fall off in two weeks. So I'm very disappointed. Maybe I'm being petty but I have had my nail done before with gel and they last a lot longer. These were dip powder.. so not sure if I should judge the powder dip by this experience.. I return to the shop for the man at the front door tell me that's normal. Would love others opinion of how long their nails last. Gel and powder. They are very nice and I agree with the owner that I should of called the next day but I have a very busy life. I'm not mad and will try them again but will look at them closer before I pay. read more

Really wanted to like this place. Nyguen did my pedicure and manicure. Rushed, sloppy and she knicked me multiple times. My big toe is so sore. They also seem to only use alcohol to disinfect their tools, not an autoclave. I won't be back. read more

The prices are honestly not worth what you get. They mishaped one of my nails and told me they couldn't fix it &that it was my fault because my finger looks crooked to them...? Anyway little to no care is given in the short pedicure time and they are rough and made a few cuticles bleed. Mimi's on Summer in the Kroger shopping center is WAY better in service provided for price and they are more polite. read more

Royal Nails earned a zero for service, products and skill. Believe the Yep score!!! Women , please do not waste your money at the nail-shop.The equipment does not work. The workers are not careful. Customers complained about workers hurting there feet during pedicures. The owners are racist . Please support Kevin's mails. They are around the corner . The establishment is upscale ,professional and definitely worth the price!! read more

I love Royal Nails, but even though they do take reservations, they can not accommodate three people at one time. My mother-in-law, my daughter and I wanted to get mani-pedis all at the same time and we were told they could not schedule that. Too bad! Their loss... read more

I've never thought about ever downloading this Yelp app. But after reading the negative reviews on here I felt compelled to write a review. I've been going to Royal Nails since 2008 and I've never ever had bad service not one single time. I read one review where they said that they were "too fast". Well I like the fact I can go get my nails done whether it's just a fill in or a full set I'm gonna be out of there with nails completely dry within 30 to 35 minutes. I'll always give a 5 star review to Royal Nails! read more

This is the worst nail shop I've ever been to. The inside is nice and the nail technician are friendly. Which almost make you overlook the inexperience nail technicians. Only two people women in the shop are knowledgeable on the services they provide. That's the manager and one nail tech. I went in for a simple gel removal and a overlay on my original nail. Only to leave with three of my nails badly broken and the manager tell me she can fix it by adding fake nails. That's was so unacceptable if I wanted fake nail I would came in a told them to cut all my nails and fake one. Terrible Terrible terrible service and should've learn my lesson from the first time I had bad service there. This have ruin my day. read more

I don't get my nails done often so when I do, I'm thinking convenience first. For that reason I have come to Royal a handful of times over the years. They are always sweet and very prompt with their service. Today Lisa is doing my nails for an event and I know I'm in good hands! read more

Royal Nails - OPI - Silent Mauvie - Nail Salons Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I have been going here for the past couple of years and I have loved their service. I am very particular with my nails so I will say that only one nail tech is preferred when I go due to being unsatisfied with others but I have had good experiences with them for nails and feet. They have taken extra precautions during COVID and that is appreciated. read more

I've been twice and BOTH times my nails were atrocious. The second and most recent time, i went for my birthday. They weren't correctly drilled around my cuticles, the polish wasn't even covering my full nails, they are PAPER thin and they nail tips weren't correctly glued down leaving a gap between my actual nail and the fake nail. The day after one nail chipped cause there wasn't enough acrylic where the nail tip was applied. Then the next day half of the acrylic chipped off another one. Because I work 9-6 in West Memphis I wasn't able to go back immediately. Well apparently you have two days to go back to have something fixed. And if you try and call and talk to them about it, they'll just cuss at you and get mad that 'people want us to fix their fuck ups for free.' Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't apply enough acrylic or make sure the nail was buffed enough for the acrylic to stick to my nail, I'll do a better job next time.. WAIT. THIS WASN'T MY MISTAKE. I AM NOT THE NAIL TECH. I'm beyond disappointed and will NOT return to such a rude and ugly shop. I can not believe the manager actually thinks it's okay to speak to people like that.. I wouldn't recommend this nail shop to ANYBODY. Buyers beware and don't waste your time or money!! 2.5 stars just isn't acceptable. I should have checked reviews first. read more

This is my second time and both times my pedicure was not up to par for the price!! They dont offer any services needed for people of color with dry skin! JUST DON'T GO!!! read more

Thank you Royal nails for squeezing us in at the last minute. However it would have been nice to know your signature pedicure takes 19 minutes from the time your butt hits the chair until you are swiftly escorted away for your 10 minute dry time! I still have rough heels but my color is beautiful! Thanks OPI for saving this review from zero stars! read more

The nail shop is beautiful here and very classy. They are very polite when you walk in. The place has a strong nail polish odor. You have to ask for the prices when you come. No one from Yelp has really seen the place before. The have 5 nail stations and 5 pedi stations to. There is a separate nail drying station area where you walk in. The techniques of doing nails is really fast. My sister is was 10 min ahead of me, however we finished at the same time. Only giving a 4 star rating cause of the odor and fastness read more

Royal Nails - Simple hot pink nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

This place is overly priced for the service they provide. They do not take the time to clean up around your nails. They only put 1 coat of clear on your nails. I was in and out of this salon for a full set and pedicure within 25 minutes if that tells you anything. Typically would take 1:15 or 1:30 anywhere else! I went the first time and thought I would give them another chance. This was my second time going and same service both times! I will not be back! read more

I would leave 0 stars if it were possible! The man that runs the shop completely profiled me and was completely prejudice to me. It wasn't for the color of my skin, but for my appearance. I went into the shop on Monday (5/6/19) requesting fills and inquired about mirror-chrome powder. I was told that they did no special services, and i would need to go somewhere else to get my nails done. I then asked if they did Gel Polish. He told me yes, but i would still need to go somewhere else to get my nails done. My jaw dropped! I drive a really nice vehicle, wearing designer jeans and carrying a Coach. But i have tattoos that are very visible, long hair that is shaved on the sides. I don't look like most women in the area i live, plus I've been living on the West coast for the last year. So my style is a year ahead of the area. So since I don't look like the everyday Soccer Mom, i was refused service. WTF?!?! And I spend alot of money each month on my nails, and am looking for a regular shop to go to. What an idiot!!! That's not how you run a business, atleast not in this country! read more

I have been to this nail shop close to 100 times I'm sure and I've always asked for Lisa.. these past few times I've had her have been awful. My pedicure took 10 mins and dip powder 10... (pedicure and dip usually takes an hour and a half or close to it) every single one of my toenail shapes are botched and she didn't paint the whole nail on any of them... and i didn't even end up really getting a pedicure- she put my feet in the water, took them out, and put a hot towel on them. AND with my dip nails, she "sealed" with gel- which is NOT the correct way to do it (there is a step four sealant) even though she insisted it was. My nails were gooey for days and they changed colors and after 4 days they started peeling/rolling off like gel does after a few weeks. $68 for a rushed half done job and i will not be going back. read more

I am so disappointed/disgusted....I decided to try this place because it was close to home bad mistake!!! The ladies seem to have a preferential treatment to those without skin pigmentation...I noticed those whom had no pigment were offered wine/ water as well as treated differently and were engaged in friendly conversation where as I got cold silence. Nonetheless my nails look like my 12 year old did them...won't be going back!!! read more

Lisa is usually the person to ask for when getting acrylics. I had been coming here for at least 6 years. Over the last year my visits slowed until they have now become non-existent. Lisa is now sloppy. She no longer takes her time. She's not thoroughly polishing nails. And the pedicures are too quick to be relaxing. It could be due to high demand of her but in that case she should work by appointment only so she can take her time with her clients. I also started to notice that my price was never consistent. I always got the same thing. A full set. And my daughter would always get a full set coffin shaped. One week her charges would be $28 and the next visit they'd be $32. Then when asked why the price change they would always say because of length. Well hell they the same length as they were the last time. And then on my last time visiting, I asked for an overlay and they didn't even know what it was. Being a cosmetologist, I had to explain that it's getting acrylic nails without getting nail tips glued on. She was like oh we don't do those. Why not? Oh well. We stopped going. read more

These Nail Tech is such in a hurry to complete while they can get to the next, doesn't realize they during sloppy Ass work, Then he charge you all this high end money for un professional work zero stars from me never go again read more

Been there many times, service has always been mediocre, but it's convenient!!! After last nights experience, we will never go back!!! My daughter and I went for pedi/mani, we were in and out in less than 30 mins! Didn't soak our feet, didn't scrub our feet, did a sloppy job painting them! Very disappointed!!! I usually tip like 30% but nope not last night!!! They r always too quick to get u in and out without even asking what u want or if u are even satisfied with the service!! I don't usually review on places but this one, I HAD TO! read more

Don't go here! Long wait, don't follow up with you once they leave you sitting and I tried them three times. First time was bad, second time ok, third time I walked out after waiting in a pedicure chair for an hour with my feet soaking in cold water. They took two people ahead of me that were walk ins. Third strike, never going back. read more

They are always great - I don't ask for a lot, just a simple gel mani and regular pedi, so I can't speak to their experience on any of the more complex services. Usually the wait time isn't bad, but if you're afraid it's going to be, just make an appointment before you go. I've done that before and they always make sure I get in first if I've already made an appointment! I won't go anywhere else now that I found this place. read more

I have given this place several chances and every time my nails end up looking awful. Don't recommend at all.
