"I had a great experience getting a manicure here. It's hard to judge when looking for a new place in a new town, but the salon was clean, the people were friendly, and my nails turned out great. Can't ask for much more than that."
"I had been preparing for my graduation trip out to LSU and wanted to get my nails done with more than just simple purple or yellow. Little did I know that the folks at Unique Nail Salon had a Baton Rouge connection as they have family out there. So when I selected yellow and purple polish, they asked why I chose LSU colors. I told them what I was thinking and showed them some designs, and they advised me that gel would be a better bet for what I wanted. Given that it was the Friday before Mother's Day, they were rather busy and I got passed between about 4 different people (3 who worked on the overall mani/pedi and one who did the tiger stripe design for me). This isn't a negative, as the employees were working hard to balance service for all of the customers in the shop. Each person conquered a different part of the mani/pedi and it was all seamless. I appreciate all the techs that worked with me that day, especially given my special request. The added effect of having my nails and toes done added a special touch to my graduation weekend of which I so appreciate!"
"Happy to be the first to review here! Elegant nails just opened about 3 weeks ago so I decided to give it a try. The salon is large with a great atmosphere and very clean. I had Jenna do a gel manicure for me and she was fantastic. Looking forward to going back!"
"Henry did a great job, he was very gentle with my sore feet. . The salon is very clean & bright. Lovely people!"
"I stopped by after work to this brand new salon. First, it's beautiful! But more importantly, I had a great pedicure. Mia was meticulous about making sure it was perfect while I relaxed and enjoyed the chair massage. A very welcome addition to the Nease area!"
"I'm updating my review based on my experience today. On my next visit I had a much better experience. Had a very good massage and a strong attention to detail. I tried the jelly pedicure which is supposed to help exfoliate your feet. A powder was added to the water which made the water turn into a jelly-like substance which you soak your feet in. They then massage your feet and legs with the jelly. So it was different than anything I've had elsewhere.Prior review:The staff is friendly, and the salon is clean, but they do not give the best pedicure, as they rushed through, I think I was in the chair for 20 minutes. I've had better, so this would not be my first choice. The best part of getting a pedicure, besides having your nails look nice, is feeling pampered, and their treatment was lacking, no massage at all, very little scrubbing and sloughing, and not much cuticle trimming.They need to take an extra 20 minutes and provide more attention to detail."
"I made a last minute appointment to get SNS here and by time time I got there, they were completely busy. I didn't request anyone specific so I'd still have to wait. Mrs.Tanya approached me and asked me what I'd like to get. I told her and we went over to her station. She examined my nails and recommended that I get acrylic this time and then SNS down the road as my nails were really flimsy and needed to grow out some more. Acrylics are not my favorite but I decided to trust her. She ended up doing a beautiful job on my nails and was able to use the same color I had wanted in SNS. you can really tell she takes pride in her work.She asked if I wanted a pedicure and I didn't need one at the time but I did need my eyebrows done. Again, amazing job. I'm definitely going back to see her."
"Had a very off day last weekend at our usual nail spot, Moda. Most of the family faces were gone and staffing was only three people. Despite calling ahead there was a two hour wait, but with only three technicians working I am not surprised. Lovely space, great pedicure choices but sadly I will be going elsewhere in the future."
"If your looking for a place that is priced reasonably at $35.00 for a 50 minute massage you have found the right spot. No coupons or vouchers but a flat rate of $35 which is very appealing to those who are on a budget. I would like to commend Stephen for doing a great job. Typically I would get a female masseuse, however on the day we went all where booked. So glad they where. Stephen exhibited a professional demeanor, asking questions before my treatment , pin pointing certain areas that may need more attention then others, if I wanted the table heater on or off, and if the temperature in the room was comfortable. The massage was firm and he asked periodically if he needed to go softer or harder in touch. He valued my quite time and allowed me to relax without engaging in conversation during my massage , unlike some experiences I have encountered in the past at other places . The faculty was clean and professional. A simply welcoming station with seats and a couch. There where also some essential oils and products for sale in nicely organized showcases. The only thing from giving it a 5 was, I was not offered any oils ( peppermint, lilac, etc) to enhance my experience. Typically they will ask or apply some under your nose to breath in during the massage. See you back in 2 months!"
"Everything! The service is fantastic, it's clean, and the employees are very talented!"

Stopped here while visiting from Atlanta. Im very big on my nails being a certain shape and not being too bulky. I was kinda hesitant about trying a new place out of town but I'm so glad I stopped here. Wendy did my fill in and pedicure, and she did a phenomenal job. My full set looks like my real nails. She also shaved down previous acrylic on my big toes that was way too bulky. I love the way that turned out because my toes look natural also. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

Edit - Dana is no longer there, I'm so disappointed. Dana did a great job with my fill-in and pedicure. I've struggled to find a place/person in Jax whose quality of work is consistent. Great staff! My only complaint is parking in that area of San Marco, I will be back!

I had such a wonderful experience here! I haven't had a pedicure in two years because I lost my big toe nail, and I was embarrassed to go to a salon. Now that it had somewhat grown back, I decided to walk in and see if they had any openings. I was greeted right away, and I signed up for a manicure and pedicure. When I explained about my toe, she was so understanding and acted like it was no big deal. I had a wonderful, soothing pedicure and a beautiful French tip gel manicure. With family coming into town that weekend, I was excited to have my manicure and pedicure looking so beautiful.

This high-end nail salon in PVB is top-notch! The staff provides outstanding service with a keen attention to detail. I've been a loyal customer for years, getting manicures, pedicures, and eyebrow waxing. See owner Jennifer & she'll make sure you're taken care of. 5 Stars

I had an appointment with Mimi for an eyebrow wax & dip powder on my natural nails yesterday after removing my acrylic tips. As always, Mimi took the time to make sure that my nails looked flawless! She never rushes through appointments, & is very detail oriented. The salon is very clean, & everyone who works here is very friendly. My eyebrow wax came out perfectly as well. I found my forever nail salon! Highly recommend this salon. Thank you Mimi!

My daughter kept telling me about this place and I finally got her! So special and nice people! They are a team with lots of attention to customer service and they're Friendly ! I don't usually like nail salons but they convince me to try them out and I'm so glad I did! The special massage chairs are awesome with heat and so many options. The nail menu is huge and they even pulled out a chair for our purses, a pull out table for our beverage. It was like first class! I'll definitely be back! They also offered online scheduling.

I tried this nail salon last week based on the Google reviews more than the Yelp reviews. Sorry but there were more on Google. I asked for Tina to do both my fill in and pedicure based on the reviews. She was very friendly and I thought she did a nice job on both. The only disappointments I had were their lack of OPI products, which I really prefer, and the salon needs a little deep cleaning. There were spots that were dusty, a laundry hamper with unfolded laundry sitting out and things that just made it seem a little unkept. I think I will give her another try as she did a nice job. I do hope they get some more OPI products and do a little cleaning. It's very convenient in the Publix shopping center where I shop regularly.

"Clean, modern, nail salon. I dropped in after yoga next door. Happy they could take walk-ins. Got a wonderful pedicure and wax. Calm here. Family who owns and runs this salon is so kind and skilled."
"I have come here multiple times for simple services such as a trim or blowout, and yesterday I went with the intention of doing a bit more--I can say this place treats you with the same amount of care, compassion and comfort whether you are coming in for a trim or a full on new look. Lauren is a true artist in her craft and she has always made me feel confident in my curls. Her attention to detail is impeccable and I've never really felt comfortable getting my hair done outside of a blowout before her! She will explain the process and work with your vision every step of the way. Her advice on how to care for my hair has helped me achieve a realistic routine at home which goes above and beyond most salons who usually just want to sell you product. Thank you so much for making my curls happy and summer ready!"
"I walked in on a Tuesday afternoon and chose this place due to the really good reviews it had and the proximity to the AirBnB I was staying at. The majority of the previous reviews are from prior management. Either way, I felt so welcome from the moment I stepped into the salon.Jackie was very sweet and did a nice manicure with a wonderful, long massage on my hands and arms. I almost fell asleep to be honest. To make matters worse (or better), she offered to do my eyebrows where honestly really almost fell asleep because I was lying down.While I was getting my manicure I had a nice chat with a gentleman who had also worked there and had lived in the Philippines. As a Filipino, I get REALLY excited when non-Filipinos go and always want to ask them about their experience so that was very enjoyable.I believe the owner's name was Kathy and she was so very kind and incredibly thankful that I had come in. I'm sure you all know how hard it can be to establish clientele for anything when you're the newbies in town so take my advice, go here, and leave happy."
"Hell naw - I have a gap tooth eyebrow! I've been wearing bangs too long and felt like I had my eyebrows growing crazy so I stopped in to get them cleaned up. Fairly slow day. Three techs there with two other customers. The one that didn't had anyone asked me what I wanted. I say eyebrows and take a seat. Maybe two minutes later a tech that was working on a customer's full set acrylic nails stops and comes over to me. I thought that was strange but maybe the other woman wasn't trained on eyebrows?I'm seated at a manicure station since the 2nd customer is laid down getting her eyebrows waxed in a small back room. Super strong stench of acrylic is hitting me hard. But I clearly tell the woman "can you just clean them up please? I do not like them thin." She smiles and nodes.Woman was sweet and nice but when she passed me the mirror to check myself out - left eye looked great - right eye is very thin and has a gap?!I'm going to have to remember 1st grade art to draw in some lines or find something on YouTube. I guess I'll be rocking a side part. Not coming back."
"I want to give a shout out to Ooh La La nails and my technician, Anna, for always providing a great experience. After 25 years of going to the same nail salon in Amelia Island it was tough to find one in Jacksonville that would work for me. I tried multiple ones here and found Anna and Ooh La La Nails last year and have been very happy. I love OPI polishes and don't want any other brand. I do hope they will continue to order the new colors as they become available. It is very important to me. I get the SNS dip and the Ooh La La pedicure at each visit. The salon is clean and organized. Check them out. I think you will agree that it is a great place."
"I arrived on time for my appointment and was immediately taken to a pedicure chair. The building itself is gorgeous. Kimberly took her time with my toes and did a good job. They offer complimentary water or wine."
"I'm almost scared to review this place because it's pretty much a gem that I'm hooked on. I booked on a whim when momma was at the end of her rope and just needed to be rubbed down to dissipate the bad vibes. I almost booked through Groupon but I always do my homework and looked at their site. Honestly, I found their online booking to be just as reasonably priced through their website as it was through Groupon. So I end up having to take my 5 year old with me and they were very cool about letting him sit in the lobby with his iPad and earphones. But also telling him where he can find the restroom and me if he needs me. Luckily it wasn't an issue. The room was comfy and the therapist offered a table warmer if I was concerned I would be too cool. That's a nice touch! She asked about my concerns and areas that I might want special attention given to. And she actually listened. The hour flew by and I felt so refreshed. As an added bonus I took advantage of the massage membership they have and it will make sure I don't neglect my self care going forward AND will pay for itself in just 2 massages! So keep your eyes peeled for the promotions they run."
"It's always hard moving to a new place and finding a good nail salon. This place is very clean, prices are reasonable, and they do a good job! I got a gel pedicure and it lasted me 3 weeks before I had to go back, and I am on my feet all day for work. I didn't get my techs name but she did a great job and made friendly conversation during my pedicure!"
"Is Aveda priced higher compared to other salons? Maybe. Do I love getting a bargain sometimes? Sure. Do you often get what you pay for? Yes!! Do I always get FANTASTIC service at Panache Aveda? Definitely! I steered away from Aveda for a couple of years after being a client for 7+ years (I moved to a new area and tried a friend). While I loved the way my friend did my color, no matter how many different brands of color he used...my hair was dry, brittle and eventually started to break!I switched back to Aveda (services and products) a few months ago and I am soooo happy I did! My hair is back healthy and shiny again.The Color Specialist I see is Casey. She listens to me, gives great suggestions and gives me the EXACT results I want. I trust her so much, I even brought my Little in to see her! From the amazing techniques to the relaxing hand massage and scalp massage, this place knows how to keep a client!"
"All I can say is...WOW. Came to this spa a few years ago and had a good experience. Decided to come back yesterday for sauna, clay mask, and hour massage. The experience was even better than I remembered. My therapist Margie was so polite and made me feel extremely at ease. She gave me clear instructions so I always understood what was happening and she checked in with me to make sure I was warm/comfortable etc. I'm a runner and my leg muscles are very tight, the hour massage she did alleviated almost all of my pain. Would highly recommend! Covid precautions: all staff wearing mask and customers when not in private room, covid survey and cleaning in between sessions."
"Exceptional. Beautiful spa as well and all new equipment. Staff was kind and professional. Highly recommended!"
"Family Owned Business- The Owners & Staff so very nice. Took my Mom & myself to get a pedi and leg massage she loved it & so did I.They really take their time with you and do a great job. The place is very clean & pretty inside,great atmosphere."
"My daughter and I love treating our self to little mani pedi here. It is extremely easy to schedule a reservation or come in as a walk- in. The staff is extremely friendly. The prices are reasonable and they do a really great job"
"Most definitely my #1 favorite nail spa in jacksonville. Highly recommend to any and everyone, women and men, adults and children. The owners are insanely sweet and kind, I've never felt so comfortable at a nail salon. My boyfriend and I have only been three times now and will continue to come back! Amazing pedicures and wether it's a gel manicure or I'm getting a full set, they do a really great job, don't take all day and have reasonable prices. You won't regret coming here!"
"Took my daughter for manicures today and wanted to try the new spot in town. I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it is inside! We were taken in right away and the workers were all so friendly. I caught a glimpse of the massage/pedi chairs and I wish I was getting a pedi! I can't wait to come back and get one! They're running a 20% off special right now which is great. I am so happy we tried this place!"
