I'm visiting Destin, FL from AZ. It was time for a nail fill and my sister advised me to go to Best Nail Spa. I called and made an afternoon appointment. I was greeted when I came in the door. I have white tips and use the clear powder. When she started working on them, one popped off so it had to be replaced. I was very happy with my fill from beginning to end. I could tell that she cared about the work she was doing and wanted it to look good. I felt they have a fair price too. I see why my sister chooses Best Nail Spa, they do not disappoint. My nails look great!! read more

Worst pedicure I've ever had! Had to ask multiple times to trim my toes they finally did and left them all uneven in length with rough edges , no dead skin removal around or under toes, horrible paint job, watered downed polish with acetone! I'll never go back and DO NOT RECOMMEND to anyone!! I'll leave the name out but the place across the street is absolutely amazing!! Wish they would have had an opening today. Feeling ripped off and very disappointed!! I'd give it zero stars if I could!! And I just watched them pull out a used pumice stone and use in the next customer! read more

30 minute pedicure! When I asked about the leg/foot massage, he said he did it. I think I would know. So, they cut some of the services supposed to provide out, obviously, to get it down to 30 min. Some polish didn't dry even after an hour, some peeling off next day, maybe thinned out to use rest of bottle (?) read more

We've all had those unfortunate salon experiences, but this one was by far the worst for me. I've never felt so disrespected or taken advantage of. My technician was kind and did her best to communicate, though it was clear there was a language barrier. To help, I pointed to the service I wanted on their menu pamphlet, and she began my pedicure. It was obvious she was stretched thin, juggling me and two other clients at once, so the service felt rushed. The end result wasn't great--uneven polish and messy edges--but I wasn't angry. I still thanked her for her time. The real issue came when I went to pay. A different technician tried to charge me double the price of the service I had pointed to on the menu. When I questioned the total, they brought over my technician and insisted that the higher price was correct. I asked to see the menu I had originally used, and instead of trying to clarify the misunderstanding, they spoke to me in a very demeaning and dismissive way, essentially blaming me for reading it "wrong." I calmly explained that there had clearly been a miscommunication, but their tone and attitude made it clear they weren't interested in resolving the issue fairly. read more

Kit was excellent. Perfect pressure for leg massage, and attentive to detail. And personable.

Had a great manicure done by Natalie. She did a beautiful job shaping and painting nails. If I lived in area would definitely be my go to nail tech. read more

I went in for a gel manicure and gel pedicure. I had no polish on beforehand. The pedicure was fine, decent massage, good massage chair. The manicure was quick and seemed a little messy but I overlooked it initially. I paid $119 for both, plus a tip. 45 min later when I got home, I noticed a bubble one of my thumb nails. When I touched it, the paint peeled off and the underneath polish was still wet. I painted on clear top coat to try and make it not get any worse. Over then next week, my other thumb nail did the same thing and 6 other fingers chipped and peeled. I went back in a week later, not sure what they would do to make it right. The same man took me and buffed (very roughly) the parts that were chipped and then tried to do to he same with my thumbs but they were lifted on the back by my cuticles too. So those two got completely removed and started over. The rest got an extra coat of polish. I went home with messy polish on my fingers and an abrasion and a split on one thumb. While I appreciate that he attempted to fix them, by the third day, my nails are chipping and peeling again. Service was definitely not worth what I paid. read more

We are on a family trip and all of the ladies decided to get Pedi(s). We chose her since it was right around the corner from the beach house. Everything was fine until the guy doing my pedicure started snarling at my feet. I was so taken aback by him being so unprofessional. Needless to say, I'm glad this is not in my hometown but I would like for future customers to be aware of what they are walking in to. read more

Great mani-pedi and great price!! My wife said it was the best pedi she has gotten! Will come here every time we are in Destin

Reasonable prices and the guy was fast but they could use work on their friendliness and it says complimentary drinks but I wasn't offered one, read more

I have been going to this Salon for 8 years.. every one is kind and they do great work in their mani and pedis!!

I really like this nail salon. To go here, I have to cross the bridge and pay the toll so it really says something that I choose to go here almost all the time. I tried other salons in Niceville so I wouldn't have to cross the bridge but Best Nail Spa has a much better polish selection, they are open on Sundays and the polish stays on longer without chipping. I could probably go longer than 3 weeks with their gel polish if I wanted but my nails grow too fast. I always get a deluxe pedicure and a manicure with gel on both and I've never had an issue with them not having a polish or chipping as other reviewers mentioned. If you want a harder massage, ask for one of the guys. They do a great job. I have tight calves and Achilles and the extended massage is why I get the deluxe pedicure. I did have an issue a while back when I tried dip polish. It was a big mess but they fixed it while I was there and then 4 days later when the polish peeled off, they redid my nails with gel and they were kind and polite about the whole thing. I did tip on the redo and the whole experience was time-consuming and frustrating, but I don't feel like they did anything wrong - it was jus a bad experience. I'm sure it was frustrating for them as well. I'm sticking with gel moving forward. I have never felt like they were talking about me. When I go to the nail salon, I don't really want to talk much and they don't try to make conversation the whole time but they aren't rude. It's just the right balance for me. Occasionally, there is some client in there talking on her cell phone (sometimes on speaker, while getting a manicure), but there's not much anyone can do about that. It seems to be real estate related every time so maybe lots of realtors go there. I've been coming to this nail salon off and on since 2005 and it's my favorite by far and I highly recommend it. read more

I've been coming to Best Nail Spa for years. Henry and Natalie are the best dynamic duo there is. You walk in and it's so relaxing. Nail stations are dedicated to only you, not that type of set up where you're bumping elbows with the person next to you. You get what you pay for and it's well worth it. They are literally the best place in Destin. read more

I was able to walk in and only have to wait a few minutes. The pedicure was fabulous and the atmosphere was very calming.

Made a recent visit to this place while in Destin for a family wedding. They opened for the wedding party and immediate family. The staff were so friendly and made the morning a lot of fun!! read more

My husband and I got mani pedis and the ladies did a wonderful job. Massage was A1! Beautiful job shaping nails and service was great.

OMG this place is amazing I went to five other nail salons and none of them could get three pedicures for my friend and her mom at once and they are really easy to talk to great massage chairs super nice people looks and little cluttered when you first walk in but amazing once you go to the back super fast and easy and great service and staff is super helpful read more

*UPDATED* I have been here multiple times, the first few times I really enjoyed it. However the last few times have gotten worse and worse. I had a gel polish change about 1 month ago and it was horrible!! The guy was very nice and friendly as usual. He was quick and did a good job, I thought. I handed him my card like always, I was with a friend who was ready to go, and when he returned I quickly signed- then I asked "wait, why was this $35... it is always $25!" He states that I was charged $10 for a manicure.. ok that's fine but I didn't get a manicure!! I told him that and he said yes I trimmed a couple of your cuticles. Um, ok well again... I didn't get a manicure. 1st I didn't ask for one 2nd I personally do not like them (and would have asked him to stop had he started giving me one) 3rd when you get a manicure most places soak your hands, cut ALL your cuticles and give extra TLC to your nail beds, they put oils etc on them, sometimes hot towels and they end with a nice lotion massage for your hands and arms at the end. Well guess what. I didn't get any of that fancy stuff. He did cut a couple hangnails but didn't touch a majority of my nails, so I didn't think twice. Then after my nails were done, I asked can I get alittle lotion on my hands they are super dry.. I put my hand out, thinking I'll just rub it in.. he then rubbed it in for me, I thought, well that is nice of him I'll give him a little extra tip for that (but this still was not the 5-10 minute glamours manicure hand/arm rub!) SO! Again, after I mention this to him he says he can't do anything and I'm still being charged for everything. Wow, ok it's $10 I'm not going to sit here and argue but I'm not happy! As we are leaving my friend mentions her pedicure wasn't the best, the person cut her foot! So we are both alittle frustrated with our visit! Neither had the relaxing salon visiting like we hoped for. {SIDE NOTE: I like short square nails, I left with average length and some rounded! And normally it wouldn't have been a huge issue but with everything else, it just added to the frustration!} TWO days go by and 4-5 of my nails are chipped! I have been using gel for about 10 years and never have issues.. I do not do any intense work that would cause it to chip, nor am I hard on polish. I had a wedding the next day and knew I can't go like that, so I go back in and explain my situation. They were very nice and redid the polish without question, they did not charge me, but I still Tipped them for their time. Fast forward to today. My nails are long overdue and I have a holiday party tonight so I go in on my lunch break to give them another chance because normally I enjoy this place. The last time I came (for the redo) they were very nice and the polish lasted and looked great. I figured they must have just had an off day 4 weeks ago. WORNG!! I walk in, they are not very busy and I sit with the same lady who redid my nails a few weeks ago. She is very nice and starts working on my nails.. (she is not a manager just an employee.) I tell her specifically so there isn't any miscommunication that all I want is a polish change no manicure. She says "ok, that's $25..." then starts asking me about my previous 3 Star Yelp Review (which clearly explained my issue last time) keep in mind this review has been posted for 4 weeks and no one has reached out to me...they didn't comment on the post or say anything when I went in last. No manager came over or tried to talk to me about this post. She took it upon herself to start grilling me about my personal opinion/experience while she is working on my hands! She was not gentle with my nails and was obviously upset. She mentioned her manager was not happy that a customer was upset and spoke with the guy who did my nails. (He still worked there because I saw him, so it's not like he was fired over this!) she then got really short with me, if I asked a question I got a one word answer. She then started talking to another guy there about me who was on his iPad, I couldn't understand them but could clearly hear "yelp" and "google". I'm not stupid. No one would look me in the eyes. I wanted to just walkout, and if I wasn't on my lunch break and in desperate need of getting my nails done before my party tonight I would have. I couldn't believe how rude she was! I would have gladly spoken to someone about my review had they asked, I also went in today to give them another chance because I understand people have off days. I hate giving anything other than 5 stars unless they deserve it. So I was giving them another chance.. but instead was treated like scum! I am livid! I will never go back there, and will happily steer ALL my friends away from them. I love helping local businesses but after this treatment I am disgusted. I try not to be a negative person so, On a positive side: They do have a wide variety of polishes, services and a clean environment which is always important. read more

I've been to this location 4-5 times now and each time I'm like wait why did I come back here. Dirty tools caked with other people's dried cuticles. Uneven and inconsistent nail work. Different shaping on each finger. Different lengths. It's silly. I've had three different nail techs and each did a mediocre job. Employees with their bare feet out giving themselves foot massages and watching their phones. Only plus is they have suchhh a good and relaxing playlist. But unfortunately that's not enough to bring me back. They need higher standards for their employees. I'm lucky I didn't get an infection from those terribly nasty tools. When I told my nail artist her tools were dirty she shrugged it off and continued. Cringe. read more

The color showed up different then it was on the example. Lady explained that it changes Shades depending on the temperature after she applied one hand. When I said I didn't like it, she said that it's not done yet really harshly. And after that she started to talk and laugh to her colleagues in different language. It's seemed like they talking about me. She stopped to be nice even the way she hold my hands changed. I felt really humiliated. I left salon literally in tears. I paid whole amount and left tips because it's not about money, but attitude. She made them thin how I wanted though. read more

This place should be re-named to "Not so great nail spa" I came in as a walk in and was told it would be a 10 min wait not so bad, I sat down and search for a nail color as I waited I found a few that I had liked, I was like great they have an awesome selection of nail polish. After that I was seated and I told the nail tech the color that I wanted he went to go look and came back empty handed he said that they don't have it anymore, I then gave him my second choice of color he went to go look and came back empty handed again this happen 3 times good thing I liked more than one color but it's still very inconvenient for the customer. Anyways as I'm sitting there I take a look at his cosmetology license and it's expired, oh great other than that I feel like they talk crap about you in there language and there service took way to long. there is more but I don't feel like bashing this more than I already had. read more

I am happy with the actual nail services that I received from Best Nail Spa. BUT I WISH IT WAS MORE SPA LIKE !!! I prefer to relax while getting a pedicure but the workers talk loud and cut up with no regard to the customers trying to relax. They need to change their name to Best Nail PARTY !!! Woohoo everybody scream !!! read more

The staff was very friendly. I was offered a drink as soon as I got there. I was given plenty of time to pick a no chip color. I was there to get a gel fill but I needed a few repairs and Henry told me it was only $5 more for a whole new set. He did excellent work and paid attention to detail. I was here on vacation and picked this salon by chance. I was very happy with the service and price. Very clean also. read more

Love the quietness, very professional. I would of liked a "harder" massage on the legs & feet but other than that very good. I will go back.

Great Pedi really took the time and gave a great massage! My 6 year old son came with and got his first pedi too! He loved it!

Love it here and will not go anywhere else. I refer wedding clients. Awesome staff and quality service.

I am local, and visited Best Nail Spa because Anna was highly recommended to me. I was not disappointed. Anna was very meticulous, and my gel nails were solid through an entire 4 weeks! I will see Anna again today. Well done! read more

Terrible! The absolute worse pedicure I have ever had! The guy that did my feet was so rude, rushed to finish. Had polish on my toes I asked him to get it off and he had a terrible attitude! Don't go here! I should not have paid for this much less tipped him but I think I was in shock that he could treat a customer so bad! read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. This was my first visit. On the one hand, I had a very enjoyable experience here, taking into consideration my social interactions, as well as my pedicure overall. Then there were the fine details of the actual pedicure. There are two things that left me dissatisfied: no top coat was used at the end and I left here still sporting all of the same callouses I had when I arrived. I completely expected the girl to whip out the "cheese grater" implement and tackle my rough areas -- just like all the other salons automatically do. Instead, she made a half-hearted attempt by producing a buffing block and lightly going over my calloused areas. Booooo! I ended up coming home, soaking my feet for a bit, applying my callous remover, pulling out my personal "cheese grater," and handling this important step myself. It's things like this that ran me out of nail salons and made me my own nail tech in the first place. This said, it's not a *bad* place, but my pedicure was not done very thoroughly, and pedis aren't cheap. read more

We were seated right away for our pedicures (after being told it would be an hour wait at a place right down the road) and the staff was very friendly. Great place to go when you want a little extra pampering! read more

Excellent and always accommodating. I'm a local and they can do acrylic/gel in one hour and holds for a long time. Highly recommend.

Signed in with a ain't time of 15 min. Told them I was walking my son to sport clips for his hair cut. Came back to being sat in chair with cold water to soak my toes in. After 30 min wait with no one speaking to me, I left. Went to rose nails read more

My mother and I have been going here for over a year now and love this place. The quality of work and customer service goes above and beyond other salons in the area. They remember us by name and do outstanding work. We are local and have tried other nail salons, but you cannot beat this place. The entire staff is fantastic and they keep the place super clean, which is a big deal to me. I appreciate thier service and will continue coming back to this place. Highly recommend this place. read more

The name says it all! The salon is clean, staff are very friendly, very talented and always accommodating. I've lived in Destin for awhile now and have tried other nearby salons but I'll always come back here to see Natalie, she is the best! read more

Jenni did a fantastic job with my nails! She's efficient and tidy! Would definitely recommend her to others!

I wish I could give no stars! These people are horribly dishonest. I called twice and spoke to two different people confirming pricing before scheduling an appointment for myself and my daughter for multiple services. I was asked to pay up front and each service was exactly $10 more than what I was quoted. I was then told to leave when I asked for a manager to complain about the dishonest business tactics. DO NOT GO HERE! read more
