    Easy parking behind the building (both street and parking lot). The staff is very friendly, and my pedicure did look nice in the end -- special thanks to Conchita for her kindness and attention. That said, I found the experience didn't fully match what was advertised. The menu lists hot towels and a massage, but I never received either. It also states that scrub and callous removal are included, but when I asked, I was told callous removal was an extra $10. I was told there were massage chairs -- technically true -- but they weren't the traditional kind. They only knead in one spot, and the chair didn't move backwards. At 5'10", my legs were uncomfortably bent the entire time. Men's pedicures are an extra $5, but my friend didn't get polish, so we weren't sure why there was a surcharge. Overall, $50 feels too steep for what was provided. I won't likely return, but I do appreciate Conchita's friendly service and the nice finish on my pedicure.

    Barby nails is a little pricey but their attention to detail is amazing and the amount of time and care spent made it worth also they give you candy

    i've been going here for months now and my girl Alexa kills it everytime !!! i've never left w a bad set.

    The refill price is the exact same as the new set price, my friend got a pedicure that was $55 and didn't receive the hot towel or the massage portion, and they charged the same price for a kids manicure as an adults manicure and didn't do the whole service for the kid either. I asked for ombré and it was very harsh lines so I wouldn't even consider it ombré:)) definitely wouldn't recommend going here unless you want to leave unsatisfied and with poor quality and an empty wallet.

    I was looking for a place to get my nails done as a splurge as it has been a while. I decided to stop into this little salon located in the heart of Coral Gables. It is nestled in a one stop shop with an array of different beauty businesses. The place is very small and welcoming. The staff treat you like family from the moment that you walk in. They do all types of manicures and pedicures. They are meticulous with their work. You are able to show them any picture and they will duplicate it. Had a very nice experience.

    This place is amazing! The availability is incredible for someone with a busy schedule. Also the color options are vast! Conchita is great! I do Apres with her - they last a super long time and they look fresh weeks later. She listens and makes sure you are happy with everything. She's honestly the best!

    First time in Miami and needed to get my nails done for my upcoming cruise and came across Barby nails. Although it was a little expensive, it was 100% worth it! Karla was very nice and did an amazing job with prep, shaping, and design:)

    Very thick application and nails didn't fit my nail beds properly

    I'd like to preface this review by saying that Barby is very sweet. It sucks that I feel the need to write this review when the experience that I had at her salon could've been prevented. I've been to this salon a handful of times before and I've pretty much always liked how they do apres gel x, especially when Yaneth does them. I've had apres done several times in various salons and it's hard to find someone that does it well. Barby accommodated me on a Sunday which was nice of her and she did my hands. Unfortunately she was rushing - it seemed like she needed to be somewhere and was left with a chunky application and nails that didn't fit my nail beds properly. I didn't say anything when the service was done because I didn't want to make her feel bad or inconvenience her, which is a mistake because at the end of the day I'm a paying customer. Once she left, I was helped by Rosy to put acrylics on my feet, which I unfortunately didn't like how they turned out. They were too long and it was uncomfortable walking in sneakers. I've never done acrylics on my feet before and after this experience I've learned it's just not for me. I felt so self conscious about my feet that I actually soaked my toes in acetone at home the next day to remove them. Also, she accidentally cut me on one toe and it stung for several days after. I want to make it a point that Rosy is also very sweet and we've always gotten along well and laugh together. While Rosy was doing my feet, she actually kindly and gently pointed out that my hands didn't come out as well as they should have and I agreed. Around two days later I contacted Barby to tell her about my concerns and she initially told me that they came out chunky looking because I got them cut as short as possible. I always get the nails cut as short as possible when I get apres and I can attest to the fact that they didn't come out chunky because of how short the nails were, it's because of the thickness of the polish and application. She then told me I could come in to get my hands fixed but didn't specify if I was going to be charged a percentage or otherwise. I also told her about my feet and thought doing builder gel would be better instead. After having trouble with finding times that worked for Yaneth and I, I asked Barby if she would kindly refund me for the service to which she said no because there was nothing wrong with them and that the services were done correctly. I can understand that for the feet - but not for the hands. After responding to her message about no refund, she stopped responding. If she wasn't willing to give me a refund, then she definitely should have at least granted me a credit to use for other services. I will not be doing apres for a while because my nails are too thin and damaged to do anything but a simple manicure. I paid around $215 for both services total, which is not cheap. Unfortunately after this experience, I will not be coming back.

    Nails that were redone but do not match the rest of the set

    Honestly unless you speak Spanish, don't go here. I gave this place a shot three times and they just don't care. To be completely honest, first time they did amazing work. I was happy. Although there was a scheduling issue, they almost cancelled my appointment because a woman who was 30 minutes late to her appointment, showed up at the moment the nail tech had my hand in hers ready to get started. Second time I come for a refill and pedicure and was super overcharged and did not get what I asked for and then a nail pops off. I come again to fix it and they fix my nail and it looks COMPLETELY different from the rest of my set. I mean dude, I paid almost over 200 bucks and the least they could do was put their effort in making the customer happy and doing my nails right. I feel like since I speak straight English they took advantage of that and took my money while leaving me with mediocre-ish nails. For example, I asked for a pedicure with regular polish very simple, how did I end up paying 70 bucks for a pedicure??? They did not even do the full treatment like they did with other women, which was the water bath and rub my feet type thing. They just slapped on the polish and sent me on my way. Truthfully, I was not going to demand them to do the full job but I expected it. Also, they offered other woman who spoke Spanish a glass of wine and a coffee. But not me. Only at the very end when I'm about to pay; they finally offer like?? You know I'm going home so why now? (I did try to speak Spanish to my best capability and used google translate by the way) I had to go home and file my nails to perfection and somewhat give myself what they could not provide. I find it depressing because they do good work but sloppy at the same time. I don't know, I personally felt I was not treated fairly. As nice and sweet as these ladies are I just also felt like they didn't give a shit and it hurt especially when this shit was NOT cheap. I would recommend these ladies to people but based on my experience, I'll have to look elsewhere.

    Barby is the best! I've been going here for over a year and love the care and attention they put into each and every set!

    This is the best place to get your nails done. The nail techs were so lovely and I absolutely loved the service. The pictures do not do it justice.

Her place definitely isn't the type to bring friends, as she is the only manicurist in her studio, but great for a little self-love! She offered wine and water, and she has a jar of chocolates. Enough to make any stressed person really happy. Pampering, begin! I'm super happy I stumbled across her Yelp page, and all the positive reviews. I messaged her through Yelp, and her son (or nephew?) was quick to respond back with how I could book an appointment with Nery. She is extremely packed on weekends and evenings, so I took a half day for myself and went on a random Tuesday morning. A regular, non-gel mani/pedi for me took about an hour and a half - just as estimated when I booked the appointment too! Nery was welcoming, and completely understanding that I am indecisive. I changed my nail colors at least 3 times, and spent more than half my manicure debating is I should change my pedicure color (I did). But who can resist when Nery has walls of OPI and Zoya colors? I'm a sucker for Zoya, and dozens of colors she had on her wall, I also have in my closet. That's how I knew I would love Nery - quality polishes. None of the gross Kleancolor stuff I see a lot at other salons in the area. I chose a matte green from Zoya, opting to not put a top coat on it because it's a matte and c'mon, it looks really good. My favorite part? When she broke out the hand-mixer turned pumice stone when it was pedicure time. I don't know why I loved it, but it craked me up. And it really got all my dead skin off the heels of my feet! Eventually, I nodded off for a few minutes because it got to be really relaxing - the music she was playing when I was there was a great Pandora station of chill dance music (think Sia and Kygo). In the end, my toes and nails looked great.

    I have been going to Karol for over three years now, and I cannot imagine trusting anyone else with…read moremy nails! Even after moving to Orlando, I still make the drive back just to see her because she is truly amazing. I get endless compliments on my nails - from the design, length, to the overall health - and it's all thanks to her incredible skill. What blows me away is how I can show her an inspiration photo *once*, and she recreates it flawlessly without ever needing to look at it again. She knows her stuff, always gives the best advice, and I fully trust her judgment... except when I make her cut my super long nails every once in a while (I know it hurts her a bit inside, but she's a good sport about it!). I absolutely love Karol and recommend her 1000% to anyone looking for a top-tier nail technician. Llevo más de tres años yendo a Karol y no puedo imaginarme confiarle a nadie más mis uñas. Incluso después de mudarme a Orlando, sigo haciendo el viaje de regreso solo para verla porque es realmente increíble. Recibo un sinfín de cumplidos sobre mis uñas, desde el diseño, el largo hasta la salud general, y todo es gracias a su increíble habilidad. Lo que me sorprende es cómo puedo mostrarle una foto de inspiración *una vez* y ella la recrea impecablemente sin necesidad de volver a mirarla. Ella sabe lo que hace, siempre da los mejores consejos y confío plenamente en su juicio... aunque a veces me quiere matar cuando le pido que me corte las uñas- y se que le duele Adoro a Karol y la recomiendo al 1000 % a cualquiera que busque una técnica de uñas de primer nivel.

    My nails came out beautiful, but I don't recommend this nail salon. I was looking for a mobile nail…read moreservice on yelp and yelp sent my request to this nail salon. Since I was anxiously looking for a mobile service , I didn't hesitate to book the appointment when I received a text from Karol. When the day of the appointment came I received a picture from the owner indicating what door I should utilize to access her studio. At that moment I realized the mistake and explained the misunderstanding and offered to pay a cancellation fee. At which point the owner proceeded the charge me for the full service. $130. She argued that she had sent me the address (which is untrue), and that she doesn't offer mobile services although her square profile clearly states 'they'll come to you' under location (see attached picture). Against my wishes, and after a lot of back and forth with the owner, I drove to the salon, which is very far from my house. She sent me a screenshot of what she received from Yelp, and although it didn't specify that I was looking for a mobile service, it clearly showed that I was looking for services in my area, which is very far from her salon. Nonetheless, I decided to make the best of it. I chatted with other customers, the owner, and my nail tech. My nails took a long time, but I didn't mind too much because I was very happy with the result. By the time I was done with my nails, I wasn't feeling my best and wanted to get home, so I informed the owner that I wouldn't be doing my pedicure. I was told that I would be charged for it. I couldn't believe it! Logically, I got the pedicure - I was already there. As an entrepreneur myself I pride myself in providing the very best customer service. Sadly that is not what I experienced today. While I understand that the misunderstanding wasn't entirely the salon's fault, it wasn't mine either. Meeting me halfway would've been a more appropriate response. And forcing me to pay for a pedicure as well was unnecessary. I was so pleased with my nails that I was actually considering going back and recommending the salon to my daughter who works in the area. However, after having experienced the inflexibility of the owner, lack of accountability and poor customer service, I won't be returning and my daughter refuses to go, as well. If anyone is looking for a mobile service beware that this person doesn't offer this service although her square profile states that she does. Only giving it 2 stars because my nail tech did a great job.
