This was, without a doubt, the worst experience I have ever had at a nail salon. I paid $85 for a pedicure, and that is with a discount because it was my first time there and honestly, I don't feel like I should have been charged at all based on the service I received. The problems started immediately. I told the technician that I had gel polish on my toes, and instead of properly removing it, she started drilling it off. It was painful, and I told her she was going to damage my nails. Eventually, another technician came over and removed it. It still wasn't done the way I'm used to, but at least it wasn't hurting me. Next, I asked to see the polish colors. They only had one small basket of polish, and many of the bottles looked old with chipped paint and worn labels. When I asked if they had color books or additional options, I was told, "This is it." The actual pedicure was rushed from start to finish. I even timed it because it felt so fast. Every step, including the hot stones, lotion, and oil, lasted about five minutes or less. The technician never cut my toenails, cleaned up my cuticles, shaped them, or even filed them before applying polish. These are basic parts of a pedicure. By the time she started painting my nails, I was honestly trying not to cry from frustration. The polish application looked sloppy and uneven. It genuinely looked like a child had painted my toenails. When she finished painting, I told her I was done and ready to leave. She insisted there were more steps, but at that point I had completely lost confidence in the service. I went to the front to pay, and another employee asked if I wanted a manicure. After the experience I had just had, I couldn't believe she was seriously asking. I was visiting from out of town and was in a pinch to get my nails done. Big lesson learned. I would not return, and I definitely would not recommend this salon. read more

10/10 love everything they do- would recommend them to anyone and everyone! Bin & Phoenix have really taken what Mike started and kept it going- as a client of Mike for over 20 years- I can truly say every person there goes above and beyond! Most of the nails pictured here are by Annie- but one by another- I love that Annie takes what I show her and makes it her own but still capturing what I show her- usually show her 3-4 inspo pics and she goes ABOVE & BEYOND!!! 10/10 go to them If you want amazing service with people that actually listen to you and care about why they do!!!! read more

Fantastic nail salon! Staff were very nice and my gel fill turned out beautiful. the salon was recently remodeled. Beautiful spa

They do not use an autoclave to disinfect their tools. The towels are basically rags with holes and frayed edges. The techs do not use any sort of cuticle cream when working on your nails, and have you soak your nails in cold water for around 10 seconds. The salon also had an odd odor. I was the only customer in there on a Saturday afternoon and I can see why. Avoid. read more

Bella Nails and Spa is owned by the nicest people and their staff is great. My favorite technician is David, he does a great job and does the best leg massage I've ever had. I highly recommend the whole staff as at one time or another they've all helped beautify my feet. read more

Went there for SNS and got "dip". I thought it would be ok I've had dip before. The top coat started to peel in 2 days. My nails are horrible at a week. I gave them 2 chances thinking the first time was a fluke since I was packing boxes later in the week. Nope! Limited colors and subpar product or application don't know which but i don't have $50 to give away and get jacked up nails the next week. Peace read more

I came here for the first time and didn't need an appointment staff was nice. Brian did a great job and nails looks good. I recommend Brian I was very impressed by his work. read more

I have been going to Bella Nails in Gainesville for gel manicures for about a year. They are caring, accommodating, attentive, and especially are clean. They repaired a nail damaged at another local nail salon. Nail art is available. I like the Cat's Eye polish. It is obvious that many people there are long term clients and this salon has been around for many years. I do not think they would be allow me to leave without a perfect manicure every time. read more

Love this place! I've been to quite a few nails salons in the Gainesville area and the salon is always clean, great staff, very courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. My daughter and I get gel nails and pedicures frequently as a mommy daughter bonding time. She loves it and they treat her well with her requests for special ornamental nails. Can't recommend a place without it being top notch. Also very affordable too. Some other places overcharge. read more

I am constantly pleased with Christy at Bella Nails. She really knows what she's doing. She's highly skilled and she's fast. I brought my daughter with me today too and she nailed my daughter's request for a fun star design. My nails always last when I come here and they're never bulky or too thick - but just right. Add to that, she's so sweet, always remembers my name. Sticking with Christy! read more

Very clean! Great staff! Best pedicure I have ever gotten! Will take my 95 years Young here. She is so picky about her feet!!! read more

I decided last minute to get a pedicure and everywhere else was closed or by appointment only. Bella got me in as a walk in immediately, and they did a great job! I got a basic pedicure that lasted probably an hour, and the prices were great. I only brought tennis shoes and not sandals, and the guy doing my toes made sure I didn't leave until they were totally dry (which I appreciated). I'll definitely go back! read more

I visited 3 other salons when I moved here before Bella. The people are super friendly always accommodating. It's clean. Love how meticulous they are with cleaning my nails. And David and Mike give the best massages when you do a pedi or a mani. It's my go to now. read more

I've been going to Bella for a year now and they never fail to disappoint! Christy does amazing full sets with design or just plain! Lee is the best for pedicures! They always remember my sister and I and love to ask how we are doing! Before this salon, I tried almost everyone in Gainesville and was always disappointed! Never will go anywhere else!

My sister was visiting from out of town and we decided to go get mani pedis. We were given a very quick appointment and thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing experience. The technicians are very friendly and professional and the environment very clean and calming. read more

My mother and I just wanted a mani pedi. No appointment and were told by 2 other salons, must have appointment - no offer to wait. Bella accommodated is, we're very professional and friendly. AND they did a great job! Even though it's a little further away than I would like to go, I'll be a regular from now on. read more

This was our second time here, my daughter & I. We love the atmosphere and ALL the people! Everyone is SO nice! We both got manicures & pedicures. Everything was done great & their prices are very reasonable. I especially appreciate that they disinfectant the tools & wash down every station after they are done with a client. And, everyone wears a mask. My daughter is graduating, so this was our last time hereIt is so sad that we found this place her last year here in Gainesville. read more

I took my mother to Bella Nail Spa and the service was awful. They seem to prioritize other customers over us. I waited patiently yet others who arrived after me were serviced before me. The person who did my mother's pedicure stopped mid-pedicure to begin someone else's pedicure. He just left her sitting with a towel on her legs...no explanation. While waiting, I watched them converse with other customers, but when servicing my mom and me, they only spoke to each other in their native language. Overall, I didn't feel the welcomed there and don't plan to return. read more

Every time I come here I am so happy and satisfied by the service, prices, and quality. I highly recommend seeing Brian. He puts time and effort into his work and he pays attention to detail. The prices here are also very reasonable. They recently renovated the salon and they have super nice pedicure chairs and tables. It feels very clean and relaxing. Honestly I have very uneven and weak nails that are really hard to deal with, but they always beautiful when I leaveAgain, see Brian if you can!!! read more

I like Bella Nail spa. They always can fit me in or there is just a short wait. They do get busy, but I think that is a sign that they are reasonably priced and do a good job. The pedicure is good. They do massage your legs and do a hot towel wrap. (To get a great rating would involve hot stones) It takes about 45 mins for a pedicure. The chairs are nice. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. They always do a great job on my nails. They are friendly. Several women from my office go here as well. I definitely recommend Bella Nail Salon. read more

STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! I went to this nail salon weeks ago for a full set. Yesterday I decided to soak off my nails (I've done this many times before and have the tools at home to properly do it) and realized that they used MMA acrylic!! It has taken me almost a full day to even get somewhat finished with soaking this stuff off and my natural nails are ruined! If you don't know, MMA is used by dentists for teeth bonding and it is highly toxic and ILLEGAL to use on nails! I can not believe how bad my natural nails are, they are paper thin and peeling right off of the nail bed. I am ashamed that nail salons today still choose to save money by using this horrible (did mention ILLEGAL) product! read more

Decent nail place. Great prices. Cathy was very good! The other tech was a little cranky. Only bummer was a clear nail polish started to chip the next morning. Which makes me think they don't use the best nail polish. I like that they put plastic on their pedicure chairs. read more

I like how the pedicures are in a separate area from where nails are done. It definitely cuts down on smelling the fumes while you get a pedi. Everyone is really great here, especially the man. The regular pedicure is great, but the deluxe is the way to go. They do a great job! read more

I just went in to get my gel polish taken off. Decided to come here because it was on my way home. They immediately got me to a station & brought out a bowl of Acetone to dip my fingers in. The bowl looked as if it had been used by another person. Floating particles of old polish chips. I told them & they took the bowl to the back & brought another bowl & it still was not clean. I believe they reuse to acetone from previous customers. The place was dirty & just was not inviting. Will never go back. read more

I've found my new salon! Natalie was very good and precise. Best mani-pedi I've had in a really long time. This is the first time in ages my nails are exactly the right shape and EVEN! I can only speak to her service and will see if I can always get her, though others seemed equally skilled. read more

John is a great nail tech... meticulous. They fit us right in as walk-ins on a Saturday. I would highly recommend.

When I called and made the appointment I asked for gel, but when I arrived I changed my mind and asked if they had time to do gel acrylic. The employee fit me into her schedule, gladly. Very pleased with the customer service and her work! I will be returning. read more

When you make an appointment and you sit there for 25 minutes while she is finishing someone else's nails and have to leave because you are going to be late to go back to work. The shop is not very clean and they reuse the same tools over and over on people. read more
