I have had consistently good service every time I have come, no matter who renders the service. They do their job, do what is requested, and do it well. Offering comfortable pedicures. I get the regular pedicure for $35. I don't do gel polish or anything. They offer you water as you enter and a warm greeting. They have TV's where you can watch an hgtv show, or listen to what they have on surround sound. I just like this place. It's simple. They have good service. And they do what you want and well. Oh and it's clean and sanitary! read more

Castle Nails - Entryway - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Johns, Florida

I've been a patron of Castle Nails since they opened their doors 20+ years ago! I HATE change, but if it's necessary.... I won't hesitate! Once I came to Castle Nails, I've NEVER looked back! Over the years, while traveling for work, I'd have my nails done at various different places in other cities/ states and would not be happy with the results! I cannot think of even one time that I didn't feel the need to have them re-done at Castle Nails when I returned home. I no longer travel for work nor do I wear artificial nails... but I do go for regular manicures & pedicures. Having been a consistent customer for 20+ years, I've seen countless nail techs come and go, but several of the original ones are still there as well! I can't say enough about this establishment! Go see for yourself! The same owners all these years! Prime location in Julington Creek Plantation! Always clean! Always welcoming -- calling customers by name! Just one of the best places to go for some pampering after a long week at work! read more

Honestly, I don't want to tell you the name of the person who gave me one of the best pedicures of the year because, selfishly, I want to make sure I can squeeze in again! Typical location but great customer service! Will be back again. And again. And again. read more

Too pricey! Gel design $55 for a child. It was nothing crazy either. It's my usual go to but not after today. I won't be back after being here for 18 yrs. read more

Castle Nails after thoughts: not a complaint, merely sharing my opinions for "Process & Improvements" only!!! The salon is designed well, plenty of nail & pedicure stations, & clean in overall appearance. Owner & employee are very nice, and also met Joy from "Joy & Nail," who now works there. Now to recommendations - I don't know business but I believe that any "not so well experience" deserves an opportunity for review. Made my appointment on Friday, 2/9/2024 and trusted appt scheduler that the assigned nail will take care of me. Got to my appointment early to pick my colors for my SNS service. Let's begin here, any new nail tech who provides service to their "new 1st initial meeting customer," should inquire how long he/she has been getting SNS. This is important since if the nail tech doesn't possess the greatest skills as the person who highly recommended verbally assured me during scheduling. Someone who's been getting this service for quite some time would immediately know the level of service the nail tech's is providing. (nail shapes to final nail result). At time of any appointment, especially initial service not yet experienced at this location, customers such as myself give full confidence & reliability to owner & employee. With that trust, do communicate with your customer who is getting their 1st experience on that particular service prior to their departure & actually look at the service given (hands/feet). Assure that your customer has received quality service. Be fully transparent with your customers who has vast knowledge of the SNS process or any nail salon services. Total of that experience was $50 + $20 tip. At present .5 of 5 (2.5 of 5) read more

Spent 3 hrs on a regular pedicure and manicure. Cut my toe and got upset at me for saying something about it so they switched to an other technician. The new technician messed up so badly doing my acrylic that the owner had to jump in to fix. Ended up charging me full price after cutting my toe and taking 3 hrs. Bad service over all. Will not be going back. read more

Please do your a favor and never come here, the owner seems nice I been a customer on several occasions till now one of his employees decided to start yelling at me over my pedicure because he did my nails different shape. He was extremely disrespectful while I was seating in my chair just expressing that my nails look different and one was complete shorter than the others he got so upset drew his equipment down and started yelling that I was "TOO much that I wouldn't shut up complaining " never in my life mind you the nails total was $125 for a pedicure and a full in read more

A friend regularly goes to one particular nail tech here and highly recommended her. I saw her nails and she had them completely decked out in different colors. They even glowed in the dark. I didn't want anything that extreme but liked her work. She showed me her Instagram page and I immediately decided I had to have her do my nails. Her name is Relia (just call her Lia) and she is at this nail shop only on the weekends so I set up an appointment with her for Saturday. The drive was a bit far but I believed she lived up to her reputation. She had my nails and eyebrows done in a little over an hour. We chitchatted about the health of my nails, where I went to get my nails done prior, and other things. She did an amazing job on both, so much that I feel like I could come back to her on the regular. I was on the fence about getting a pedi done but after such an awesome experience I caved. This was done by a sweet older lady who did everything to make sure that I was comfortable and non-thirsty (she asked me twice if I was sure I didn't want something to drink. I got some water the second time she asked) I sat in the chair totally relaxed as she used hot stones, her hands to massage, warm towels, and polished my toes. After leaving there, I was ready to face the day. I definitely need to return. read more

I like this place a lot. My husband and I both had pedicures here. They always do a good job. Will keep coming back. read more

Ended up here on a day my usual place was closed. This may be my new usual place now.... Great work, friendly techs, nice setting.

NaNa did an amazing job I haven't had my nails done in years and I feel so good with these! She also gave me a pedicure on the spot even though I didn't ask for one when i reserved my appointment. Recommend and will be coming back! read more

This place was recommended to me about a year ago and I have been going ever since! This place is always clean and welcoming. I prefer longer nails but I tend to be picky when it comes to shape and thickness so that's where Phaly comes in and does an amazing job every time. I never once had a complaint on any set or pedicure. My family members also come here and enjoy it very much. Love love love it here. read more

I've given this place several try's just because they are very convenient to my house but this will be my last time! The nail techs here are HORRIBLE at shaping! I spoke to the manager and he stated that every shapes differently as if that was ok. This is a total waste of my hard earned money. Sn: this is the finished product after 2 hours and 4 times trying the "fix" the tech new set! read more

We use to go there all the time. Service is terrible now. I was charged for services I didn't receive and when asked I was told I was incorrect even though I was reading their brochure she handed me. I asked for more polish and she didn't do it but barely used any to cover my nail. I won't be back. Gave 1 star because I had to read more

Came here the day before my sisters wedding. Our mani/pedis turned out fantastic and lasted longer than most. Helen the owner was so welcoming. When my 7 month old baby started getting fussy before my treatment was over, she asked if she could watch over the baby so I could finish. I was blown away by her kindness and incredibly grateful. Great experience, thank you Castle Nails! read more

I have now visited this nail salon 3 times and will continue to go back! I always request acrylic overlay and my nails to be very short. I have gotten my nail done like this for a very very long time and this is the very first time the nail tech has delivered exactly what I have asked for. I have even brought my 3 year old daughter with me a few times and they paint her nails and were so patient and kind with her. We are new to the area and it feels nice to already have a reliable nail place. Oh and if I have to give a negative I could say sometimes you do have to wait, but it's because they do not rush though and I appreciate that. I know I don't want a rushed job. read more

Best nail salon in St Johns! Helen and team raised the bar no one can beat! Clean, easy to schedule an appointment, even though it's not necessary. Always look forward to my fill-ins! read more

when I went into the salon I picked the gel color for my manicure and the owner asked if I wanted my toes to match. i said yes and he brought the bottles to the technician. it was darker on the side where I had my pedicure. I was then taken for my manicure and when I was done I paid and about to walk out I noticed my fingers did not match my toes. one was red and the other purple. I brought this to the owners attention and he said that I could have another coat put on. i told him it wouldn't change it because they are two very different colors. His only reply was it was the coordinating color OPI sent. well even so , they are clearly different colors. He didn't care I was unsatisfied .No other compensation or even try to rectify the situation. He just wanted me to go. Very POOR customer service!! So after $57 I did not get the service I paid for. I will NEVER go back there. read more

Clean and very professional! The staff are friendly and accommodating. Husband loves it too , he says "Great leg massage!"

I LOVE this nail salon. It is rare I go anywhere else for myself, with friends or with my daughter. They have always been so helpful and accommodating when my daughter comes with me to get her nails and toe nails painted (she's 5). It is so relaxing and clean. I love seeing the same faces there and never have to wait long (I always walk-in without an appointment). I've been going here for the last 3 years when I moved to the area. read more

This place is the best! Everyone is friendly and helpful and they really know their stuff! I went here after getting my first set of acrylics, which were done pretty poorly at another location, and my nail tech was able to correct them with a fill in, some nice grooming, and new polish, and now they look beautiful! The shop itself is very open and spacious, with plenty of chairs for both mani's and pedi's. Beautiful paint and florals on the walls and beautiful fixtures. They have a huge selection of polish as well. Castle Nails is a 20 minute drive from me and slightly more expensive (only by a few dollars) than other places I priced, but it was well worth the drive and paying a little extra for great results. I plan to go back here for all my nail needs! If you're looking for a reputable Nail Salon, you should definitely check this place out! read more

This is a cute salon - unfortunately my $30 gel manicure that is supposed to last 14 days started peeling at day 4. Such a sad life, my poor manicure only had 4 days on this beautiful planet... I won't be back. Sadly. I really wanted to love this place! read more

This place was recommended. We went for the hot stone massage, being nurses we are always on our feet, and were really looking for to it. The person with me got the full bang and while my tech gave me the basic. I picked a color only because I would be there and because did that mine still ended up to be more money. I went for the massage and made that clear so I'm very frustrated and disappointed. I gave two stars because I like the color. read more

We have been coming here for almost 2 years, usually every 4-6 weeks. Minimum of two people and three services at a time. Often 3-4 people and multiple services as well. We had an issue with my moms nails and just asked them to redo the nails. Simple remove the polish and redo the polish. The owner told us no and he didn't care if we spent $40k a month there and hung up on us. It is a bummer as we have developed good chemistry with the workers. However if you provide service like that we will no longer attend. Options are out there and if you don't value our business we will move along. read more

I've been to this nail salon 3 times. The 1st time was lovely. The 2nd time was durning Christmas so I figured that was the reason I sat for 30 minutes with foil & acetone on my nails until the cuticles burned. I must be stupid because when I went back today I thought it would be different. NO SUCH LUCK! Unfortunately this time it was my 14 year old daughter who sat with acetone wrapped foils until she became upset. It took me getting loud with the owner for him to get up & take action. I'm sure if you make an appointment & get to know your technician it may be different but I'm not willing to find out. read more

Lovely nail salon. This is probably the largest nail shop I've ever been to and they have all of the latest OPI colors and I noticed they offer a few other nail polish brands such as Orly. Seemed like it was very busy when I went and I assumed there was a wait but I was taken back within 5 minutes. Staff is very friendly and the salon is CLEAN (plastic coverings inside pedicure tub). The techs take their time with you and my tech (Mailee) did a perfect job! Some might think this place is a little pricier than other nail salons but you get what you pay for. Basic pedicure and gel manicure cost me $55, which is average to what I've always paid in the past. I highly recommend this salon! read more

Castle Nails - Another beautiful French manicure! - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Johns, Florida

This had always been my go to place for over 10 years. I loved that they made me feel welcome and like family. Kind and caring. Not anymore. My lady that I used "who was fantastic" was able to open her own business. So I thought well I will try and still go and maybe someone else could come close to her. Not so!! Went back 3 different times and got bad pedicures and the last lady was so rude and was jerking and pulling my legs. You can no longer talk to the owner as I have tried and he just doesn't listen and no longer seems to care about his customers. Very sad. Use to be the best place ever but very SADLY not anymore. read more
