I've been to my fair share of nail salons in Jacksonville since I moved here, and this is by far my favorite. Located right outside San Marco Square, right next to Marble Slab Creamery, San Marco Spa and Nail does the best job for the most reasonable price. The staff are extremely friendly and skilled nail technicians, I've never had an issue with my gel or powder dip nails peeling before the expected time frame. They have a wide variety of colors to choose from. I also love getting pedicures in the recliner chairs and getting a massage. What I like about them is that you can walk-in and they will find a time for you, obviously having an appointment is always better, but sometimes life happens. For anyone living in the area, this is the nail salon to make your own! read more

This is usually my go-to salon in San Marco but this time I went and got a manicure and left with about 5 cuts that are still hurting 2 days later. I also don't think the cuticle tool they used was clean (grabbed it out of a dirty bin) which honestly grosses me out. I probably will need to skip them for a while (or forever). read more

San Marco Spa And Nail - Gift certificate for one hundred dollars. Expired one month ago. They would not honor it. Terrible customer service. - Nail Salons Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Underwhelming nail set. They are so thick. They don't look natural at all . They are lopsided. The pinky nail is a joke. It has so much product caked up on it. I walked in with long, beautiful natural nails. And in the process of her taking my nails off, she cut every single one of my nails. Truly a terrible experience . I wanted a new full set and I have every regret going to this shop. read more

I went here twice for a pedicure and honestly wasn't super impressed the first time. I had a little bit of time and knew they accepted walk ins, so I gave them a second shot on a Friday afternoon. Jenny showed me to my pedicure chair right away. I picked a bright pink color and started up the massage chair. Between the massage chair and the foot massage Jenny gave me I literally almost fell asleep. This was like I got a whole deluxe pedicure with all the extras for the same $30 price of a standard pedicure. Holy crap! Jenny is so good! I came home and took a nap after - that's how relaxed I was! She also did a great job filing, shaping, and painting my toenails. I will call ahead and ask for her every time. It's the best pedicure I've found so far in Jacksonville! read more

OMG!!! Such great service! They made us feel so welcomed as if we had been coming to their establishment for years and this was our first visit. Sam did a wonderful job on my brows and manicure and Kim did an awesome job on my husband's pedicure and manicure!!! We will definitely return! Highly recommend this nail shop! Would give it 10 stars if there was a such rating! read more

I had been driving back to my old nail salon- almost an hour away- until I found this place. They always do a nice job with my dip nails, they are thin and smooth which I really like. And they last usually about 3 weeks. They also do a great gel pedicure. I love that they always honor appointments. I have been to many nail salons where they take any walk in and then your appointment starts late which was a huge frustration for me. read more

San Marco Spa And Nail - Dip nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I can consider myself an expert with nails I don't completely know how to do them myself but I have got my nails done since I've been about 15 years old and gone to many places until I find my place and nail tech then life happens I move or they move or something I am that person that will drive 30-40 min to go to their fav nail tech. My roommate recommended this nail salon and I am so happy i listened to her. I did not book an appointment I was a walk in and they were fast to get me seated and the attention to detail was 10/10 I got a pedicure with gel and gel on my natural nails I loved it. The best thing I saw was the way they great their returning customers, they are genuinely happy to see them and provide the best service and experience possible it's not the typical get the job done as fast as possible and next or the hidden up-charges some nail places add and you end up spending more than they originally said. I will definitely go back I have told friends bout my experience as well already and I'm so happy to have a new spot that is so close to me. read more

Great service, friendly people. Got a dip powder ombré manicure and deluxe gel pedicure for $100 total before tip. I was walk-in on a Saturday and they managed to find time for me. Deluxe pedicure was fantastic and includes sugar scrub, paraffin wax, hot stone massage, and lotion. The pedicure was so relaxing I almost fell asleep. Highly recommend and will be returning. read more

My favorite nail place in Jax! I have been going here for over 3 years. My nails always last and they are usually always able to get me a same day appointment. Pictured is my 2 week old full set still looking great, besides needing a fill lol. read more

San Marco Spa And Nail - 2 week old full set almond shape - Nail Salons Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Stay away! This place is terrible. The manager put Halloween decor on my toes at Christmas and laughed at me. I cannot see well and this was very frustrating after what they charge. I wanted it fixed and called the manager once I got home and my 7 yr old granddaughter told me I had a witch and a ghost on my toes, I was livid. I have been going there for months. I called the manager and he pretty much said "OH WELL DONT COME BACK!" NEVER AGAIN MY FRIEND TRUST ME. read more

They always take there time! Very pleasant ladies and gent. Very organized. Paint is always so neat! I've recently moved away but when I visit home I always go here and they still remember me after all these years! Customer service is exquisite!!! read more

This place is my favorite nail salon EVER!! They are always trying to work around my schedule and most importantly my gel nail set stays longer than any place I've ever went. They put it on thick, but it stays 3-4 weeks looking great. Of course, I have to get my nails done before then, but it's a great salon! The photo is after 3 weeks! read more

If there is one thing I know, is women will always tell the truth about salons, nail bars and spa's. My gf was complaining about the place she was going to, so I took it upon myself to do some research and the females have spoken! This place simply does the best job for nails. Set my gf up with an appointment and 4 weeks later, not only are they still on, but they look amazing! read more

I found myself in the area with some time to kill and decided to pop in for a manicure. It's not a fancy place but they did a nice job. Friendly, good service, good prices ($15 for a basic manicure before tip). No complaints from me! read more

I found myself in the area meeting a friend in a more central location. Living in Oakleaf, this is a bit away from my house, however I was in desperate need of a pedicure! I ended up getting the deluxe pedicure and before tip, it was $38. Great deal! We were promptly greeted and offered a drink, which was a nice touch. The woman doing my pedicure took her time and was generous in the time my legs were massaged. In the deluxe pedicure, you get to enjoy a sugar scrub, mask, paraffin wax, and lotion. The salon also had a great selection of colors! Every customer that had walked in, they took time to connect with and greet in a friendly manner. Even though I don't live in the area, next time in San Marco, I will definitely be back! Great deal for a great result. read more

Don't go here to get your nails done. Told the man that the tips were not flat, before the acrylic ... he said "they would look flat after the acrylic. As you can see they are not. Called the next day to schedule an appt, with someone rake to fix the nails thag were wrong.... they told me is my nail bed. Wtf you must think I'm dumb. I haven't had fake nails in some time, I've been growing my real nails. But I have plenty of experience with fake nails. Tips weren't even really attached to my real nail. I left there unsatisfied customer twice in less than 24 hours. read more

I really wanted to like this salon due to its close proximity to where I live, but unfortunately I left disappointed. I will say that the customer service is great. The technicians were very nice. The issue I had with this salon is how they do their gel nail manicure. Instead of filing your nails by hand they use the rotating filing machine. This caused my cuticles to bleed and did not leave me with a decent nail shape. All of my nails look like different shapes and don't match, unlike other salons I've been to where they're all consistent. The technician also made me feel bad for having shorter nails (I work in an ED so I need short nails ) by telling me she was scraping/burning my skin under my nail with the machine because I cut my nails so short (this has never happened at other salons) $30 for a gel mani, in my opinion was unfortunately not worth it. read more

Their nail art capabilities are limited, and it took three hours for a mani-pedi. The leg massage was pretty good, and the massage chair was what made the trip to the salon for me. The staff is really nice, although when I walked in and asked if they did powder dip with glitter ombré, three ladies surrounded me to examine my nails with a confused look on their faces, speaking in another language trying to figure out I'd whether they could do it. The toe nails came out a bit lumpy because the nail tech didn't leave any drying time between coats. The big toe was smushed after I left, even though I stayed there an extra 30 minutes (a total of two hours) drying them. The powder dip nails lasted over two weeks without so much as a crack. read more

I initially went in because of the great reviews. The salon was dirty and the decor was old... not what I would expect since it is located in the heart of San Marco. The gel manicure looks nice but the tech was extremely rough and made 2 of my fingers bleed with the electric drill. She didn't seem like it was a big deal or apologize. It made me second-guess the cleanliness. Won't return to this salon any time soon. read more

Tech didn't listen to what my oldest daughter wanted then argued with her and made her feel bad that she didn't want a crooked acrylic nail. My tech was rough and cut my cuticles down to the point of bleeding on 4 fingers. Horrible shaping job on my regular nails when I just asked for them to be even. When I selected the color I wanted ( went for my wedding nails) another tech who had been listening said you can't have purple for wedding - I have pretty pink I firmly and politely replied it's my wedding I will pick my color. Very rude. If I want someone's opinion I will ask. Painful and horrible job- wish I had taken pictures. Steer clear. read more

The best gel manicure ever! It lasts for weeks. The staff and owner are super nice. They really take their time with each customer.

I really like this nail salon. It's quiet, personal, and never super packed. It's a good "alone and relaxing" time salon. I do wish they had the hours posted here, I always forget when they close on what days read more

I can't even say enough good things about this location, I'm very surprised about its lack of reviews! Super professional and courteous staff-- Emily is amazing, my gel manicure always last longer than anywhere else I've gone in Jacksonville. They always give you exactly what you request without pushing you to upgrade and they spare no attention to detail on any service, no matter how small. I love it here! read more

This is my 3rd time here. The technicians that helped me were courteous and thorough. I can't stand feet--even my own which is why I get pedicures, to make my toes bearable to myself. I actually feel bad for anyone who has to touch my tootsies or anyone else's for that matter. I leave with a great looking set, all clean and sparkly. My calves and feet are moisturized and relaxed after the massage and hot towel treatment. I mean I can't really complain especially after they offer me a drink while I'm getting the service. I shudder to think how the technicians would rate the state of my feet when I walked in there. I'd probably be a 1 and that'd be generous. SO, four stars to these hardworking folk. They do try and make small talk but honestly I don't care if English isn't your first language. It doesn't bother me. Hearing people speak in their native tongue isn't a huge deal breaker---but I'm not a Nosy Parker, paranoid or easily offended. If all you care about is leaving with a mani or a pedi that doesn't shame you, this place is reliable and consistent. read more

This place was by far the worst ever!!! They first did not do the color that I asked for and did not change it after I asked. Second I am getting a BAD infection and 3rd the place is dirty read more

I ended up going here on the recommendation of a friend. My normal place is so far from where I live and I needed something closer before leaving town. I am not in any convinced that the lady who did my nails has any idea how to do Dip Powder. First, the powder never went all the way towards the cuticle. My experience is that you press the cuticle down, trim it up, and then apply the powder. I wanted them thin and she put on 4 coats of powder. During the filing process, she took even more off the base of the nail. I needed a fill in before I walked out. I complained and she added even more dip powder. She gouged one nail so badly that you could see my regular nail. She only added one coat to cover it up. The rest of the nail had 4 coats. Some nails are thicker on one side than the other causing creases, lumps and ridges on the surface of the nail. Every nail has an extreme slope at the base because of the gap between the nail and the cuticle. I paid for my nails to have ridges, lumps, bumps, be uneven, and thick like hoofs. This is horrible!!! Now about the place in general, it was very dingy feeling. Did not get the feeling of being sanitary. The nail techs were screaming at each other about 30 mins into my visit. I was there for almost 2 hours. I really debated leaving before I ever sat down. I should ALWAYS listen to my first instinct. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST! read more

Had a great experience! Happy people, my manicure came out wonderful!

I drive all the way to San Marco from Orange Park. I absolutely love this nail salon. Highly recommended!

Horrible customer service. A young lady that works there talked to me very rudely...for no reason at all. Gladly she did that before she did my nails so I left. I will not patronize a place that has no respect for their customers. There are so many other great nail salons in Jacksonville to give your hard earned money to. read more

I was looking for an inexpensive and quick mani, and found this place! I paid under $15 and was done in under 30 minutes without an appointment. I walked in and was greeted and taken immediately. If I'm in the area again I'd definitely return to this place. read more

Great service! I never feel rushed when I get a mani/pedi here! Great massages and the whole package!

I came here because they are close to downtown and the other highly rated place was closed today. I MADE A GREAT CHOICE!!! The ladies did a fabulous job on my daughter's gel mani and both our pedis. They were super friendly, super fast (but definitely not rushed), and truly, the BEST leg massage I've had during a pedi. I highly recommend coming here! read more

I have been looking for a new nail salon because my last salon did great work but did not value me as a customer. I decided to try Nail and Spa and what a great choice.
