This is the most amazing place to get a pedicure!!! My boyfriend had a big nail problem and they used a little electronic handheld that buffed- off the build- up so his nail looked normal- my boyfriend said it had not been that way for more than 40 years. The staff is friendly, makes you feel at home and welcome; the vibe is comfortable. If I lived here ( we are from Chicago), this is our place!! I cannot say enough good things! I really cannot say enough good things! Thank- you, so much! read more

I have been coming here for my pedicures for over a year and am never disappointed. I love their easy-to-use, online booking system. Prices are clearly stated and completely transparent. Linda has been wonderful to me at those times when I had to reschedule at the last minute. read more

After almost 4 years of not coming back here, I was very happy to meet PAULA she's new and her service and way of doing nails is amazing ask her by name she's from Venezuela and a great manicurist. read more

For the record, this is literally the first Yelp review I've written. I've had negative experiences in other places but never felt strongly enough to write a review until now. I am in extreme disbelief and disappointment with this salon. Prior to my appointment, I made it a point to clarify the pricing due to the fact that the time prior, they were very deceiving with their pricing. I called ahead to verify how much a hard gel refill with gel color would be (I was told $65... which is still overly priced IMHO, but it's coral gables so not surprised) needless to say, I ended up leaving paying almost double. The nail technician asked if I wanted to make them shorter (BECAUSE OF MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE I KNEW BETTER AND ASKED IF THIS WAS GOING TO BE EXTRA) I was not surprised when she told me that cutting my actual nails would be an additional $5??? You'd think that cutting your nails would be standard in an overall manicure charge.... The work done on my nails was decent (despite having dry patches and my cuticles not being cut).... I feel as though they are not being ethical and tricking their customers into paying more. I use to work at a high end salon and have friends who work as nail technicians. Therefore, I fully understand nail technicians or really anyone working in the cosmetic industry for that matter to be compensated for the amount of labor provide. With that being said, The nail tech only spent 25- MAYBE 30 minutes on my nails but I was told that I was being charged more because of the amount of work that needed to be done? Upon arrival, I had even complemented the nail tech for how well my nails had held up. They were perfectly intact from the previous appointment. I am the furthest thing from a confrontational person, but I could NOT not say anything. I politely expressed my concern to the front desk hey lady, I believe she is The Manager. I emphasized to her if my nail technician would have expressed to me how much more I would've been paying, I would've gladly walked out. Her only response was I go by what the nail technicians told me they did. I left paying $98 when I was told it would only be $65 . This place is unprofessional and sketchy. If you see below, I am not the only one who has experienced a situation similar to this. I truly don't mind spending a pretty penny on a service if the work itself is good and the people providing the service are transparent, but sadly (FOR THE SECOND TIME) it was the opposite of this. Unless you have money to blow and don't care about honesty, I would stay clear of this place. read more

Love this place. Linda is the very best! And the location is just perfect. Prices are good for the Gables

Love this place! First time doing Dip and they did not disappoint found my new nail salon

mediocre nails. Tore up cuticles on hands and feet. completely torn up cuticles . Pricing is nothing to crazy .you would think with a bleeding nail they wouldn't charge to fix a broken nail but they did. miss the days when nail Salons were relaxing an you leave happy. read more

INFECTION ALERT!!!! HORRIBLE INFECTION FROM HERE!!! I went to this place for a gel mani and pedi. The guy who did my nails was horrible, rude, so unprofessional and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. On my toe nails, he pulled out some skin on the side of my nail. It was a violent pull with his dirty fingers and I yelped. This resulted in severe pain and infection the next day. I saw a doctor and he said it's infected and I have to be on 10 days of antibiotics now and I can barely walk. It's excruciating pain and I get pedicures all the time. This has never happened. I've never seen someone so unprofessional. He also pulled out a hair from my toe with his finger and I looked at him and was like what was that......?!?!?! He was like u had a hair! Are u kidding me. Horrible unprofessional disgusting truly stupid. I also have a cut on another of my toes on the top. Also note they don't cover the foot baths with plastic. I should have stopped him after all that but I didn't realize I was going to get an infection at the time so I let him finish my finger nails but he shaped them so bad and painfully that at that point I did tell him I don't want gel, just a regular manicure. I needed to get out of there as fast as possible. When he was done, 3 of my nail beds were bleeding severely. He used a drill on my finger nails too without asking me. The receptionist Yari and manager were really nice when I showed them my manicure and didn't charge me for them because of the blood and the look of the whole thing which was horrible. They offered to redo it but I just wanted to get out of there so I left. I still paid for the pedicure though because I didn't realize how horrible it was at the time and didnt realize I was going to get an infection and I just wanted to leave. Waste of money and now I have to pay for medical bills and medicine. Posted a pic of the Hispanic dude who did my nails. Avoid at all costs. He has longish hair and a half bun. Avoid. Also side note when I asked him for advice on a color he was so rude and unhelpful that everyone turned to look at him. read more

Gables Nails - The worst most unprofessional manicurist I have ever met. Avoid at all costs. Got a severe infection from this. - Nail Salons Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

If you want bad service and to be charged double for a basic service you got the right place. I came in for a fill in with regular nail polish and was charged $60!!!! First of all the owner tried to belittle me for wanting regular polish over gel when I was walking over to pick out my color by yelling out "omg I can't believe you want regular polish, are you really going to sit over there and wait for it to dry..." I just laughed It off as a joke but should have just walked out. The one start is only worth the nails, they turned out nice. HOWEVER, I wasn't happy with the shadiness. The owner and the manicurist were talking in their language clearly about me because they would used a few words in English like "5 weeks" and "oh ya she has long nails" come to find out they were plotting the price. As those were the exact words the receptionist used to tell me the price went from $30 to $60. My nails were "over 5 weeks old" which is damn near impossible with acrylics to get away with without having multiple nails fall off and bad lifting on all your nails. On top of that they said they charged an extra $10 for length (never heard of that for a fill in). I had one lifted nail that had to be redone completely (which is usually included in a fill in or $5 extra tops). While I was expressing how shocked I was with the price the owner didn't even look up or make a comment. When I walked over to tip my manicurist and said thank you, she didn't even lift her head up or acknowledge me. I should have been surprised as a majority of the time she had her earphone in watching a show or something. Sad that I was planning on coming back because I liked my nails. Another customer lost. read more

The only star was Miriam, the manicurist. Unfortunately it was my first and last time coming to Gables Nails. Completely overly priced. The massage chairs don't work. They don't provide a clear wrapping on the pedi basin. Despite being in a pandemic state, the entire floor was filthy. There was a dirty rag when arrived (due to the rain) and they couldn't even change it out. The equipment had dust particles and residue from acrylic nail filings, and overall the place was just uncomfortably unsanitary. Did I mentioned it being overly priced?! I stayed for the simple need to get a mani/pedi, but I'd not come back. If Miriam would go else where, I'd follow her. read more

Me and my family have been going here since I was in middle school. Service used to be great and very welcoming. At this point, I've had skin burned on my face from a wax, paid more for an acrylic set than I ever have, been shouted at for being 10 minutes late, laughed at by the employees for getting upset at this. I was ignored while getting acrylics removed, which resulted in me getting passed along to two different employees and sitting for three hours in the salon. Employees have talked bad about customers to my face. Feels like a judgmental and unforgiving environment and not relaxing and what it used to be years ago. read more

The best pedicure and manicure by Jael. Love the place. Reasonably priced too. Great location.

They always take care of me and can never thank them enough. My favorite nail place Special shoutout to Vivian who left me looking fresh and cute read more

I love that my appointment is always honored. If I make an appointment for 2pm I am seen at 2pm. I've never waited more than 5 mins to get my mani pedi started. 10/10 recommend this place. read more

I rarely ever write reviews but it is necessary to write this so people can know how GREAT GABLES NAILS IS. This is by far the best nail salon in Miami! I would never go anywhere else! Everyone is so nice and accommodating. It is a really nice environment because most of the customers have been going there a long time and so the conversations are enjoyable and fun. I get acrylic nails (sometimes I do dip sometimes I do gel) with Kim and I LOVE THEM! I am VERY careless with my nails and often hit them and break them, but I call Linda and she ALWAYS finds a time for me to come in and fix them. Linda is extremely helpful if you have any questions you can always ask her. She knows every single color polish by heart (and the corresponding number). Kim is very knowledgeable and has been in business for a long time. She is a perfectionist so she always makes sure she likes how they came out and YOU like how they came out. My nails always look great when I leave. If you want beautiful nails of high quality then you have to go to Gables Nails. I have tried other salons (some in the area) and none even measure up to the caliber of nails at Gables Nails. I cannot recommend them enough. I have sent numerous friends and family there (who are now customers). Again I cannot recommend this place enough! Go and see what I am talking about! read more

I am the most pickiest person when it comes to my nails. But I am not exaggerating when I say that I can walk into Gables Nails and be 100% confident I'm gonna walk out happy. By far Kim is the best nail technician I have ever went to. I say this with every bone in my body and with total conviction. I feel like a bad ass b*tch walking out of the salon with a fresh set of nails, I have no complaints. Also doesn't hurt that she has the best go getter/ in your face personality that I have ever come across. read more

Love this nail salon! I have been a customer here for years, almost always for gel mani/regular pedi, which is done in one hour flat and lasts me 2-3 weeks. I usually book an appointment in advance with the same person, but on the off-chance I need to go as a walk-in, I am almost always paired with someone immediately. Most employees have been with the salon since I started coming here and I can confidently say they are great at what they do. read more

I had a lovely experience here for a simple mani/pedi. The salon was clean and the technician paid great attention to the shape and look at my nails. I accidentally smudged one of my nails and they made sure to fix it. I'm very happy with my experience. read more

Jael was wonderful. The salon was clean and comfortable with a lot of nail color selections. Will definetely be back soon. My nails look great! read more

I loved my experience here! I was seen right away with an appointment (some places still make you wait in Miami even with an appointment), and Melissa gave me a great fill-in with gel polish. She was very thorough with the shaping and really took her time throughout the process. Though I paid more than I am used to because I usually just get regular polish, the pricing seemed fair ($50). More importantly, the quality was great for the price, which seems to be less than commonplace in Miami. I will be back! read more

First things first, I really like the color purple, and I really like the purple walls. Second, I left this place content with the job that they did. I was able to get in and out without a problem. The pedicure chairs were comfy and it ran me $38 for a mani/pedi which isn't too shabby. However, it only took a couple days before my nails were chipping and I had to take the polish off. Sometimes I would blame my overactive hands for this kind of problem but I do not think this was the case in this instance. That being said, the experience was ok- I did not have to wait, found the staff to be not overly friendly but nice enough and the space seemed clean. It's a short walk from my house and for that reason alone, I will probably be back. read more

This is the most efficient Nail Salon in Miami.. So much so that I nearly crush on the owner. She is always impeccably dressed and runs a tight ship. She is constantly walking around verifying everyone is on task and that their quality of painting is up to par with what she expects. I will admit that I have been to other salons where my pedicure lasts maybe a week longer, but 2-3 weeks is great by my standards. I also must disclaim that I never do hands. The place is always packed, but there is never a wait.. Why you may ask? Because the lady doing your nails is not talking to you for an additional hour about her kids or the latest salon "chisme".. So if you are the typical Miami "chismosa", this is not the place for you, but also the reason why it is my number one nail salon in Miami... And the fact that it is in Coral Gables, between my work and home, is even better. The hours are awesome. They are always open and always able to help. You only really need an appointment if you have a favorite nail person. Otherwise, if you're like me, you trust them all because they are all awesome and you will be out within 35 minutes. They also offer gel, OPI and Essie but have all the colors you could ever dream of and many OPI colors, which I think are way better quality than Essie. read more

This was my first time at this place and the girl who was doing my nails was using the machine that they used to level your nails on my cuticles and cut my finger! She didn't even realize and when I brought it up she didn't apologize. She then tried to use it again on that same area when I told her to please use another tool! Not a good experience and also very expensive. $80 for tips and gel polish read more

Gables Nails - Nicked my finger - Nail Salons Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

Went first time to do my nails with T AND HE WAS GREAT. Two weeks later called for an apt. And lady was extremely rude! Took 5min to try and get me an apt and with an attitude she kept on saying she couldn't find me on the system when all she could have done is get my info down and make an apt. Wow! I cannot believe they just are so willing to loose costumers when they're happy to wanting to come back over scheduling an appointment. GUYs I can't stress enough how important is to listen to reviews. A lot of people complaint about their service and I still gave them the benefit of the doubt and here I am writing a horrible review because they serve it. Is not only about good work but also great service and this place has ZERO of it. Don't waste your time or money! ****To reply to your absurd comment. Yeah sure I didn't even speak to you I exactly know who I spoke to and she was plain and simple rude from the minute she picked up the phone. I did have an appt. I don't show up to places because I don't like to wait! Your reviews and stars speak for itself sweety you guys SIMPLY HAVE A HORRIBLE COSTUMER SERVICE! And EVERYONE READING THIS GO THROUGH REVIEWS THEYRE MAINLY ALL AWFUL and my worse regret is giving you guys a chance after I read them. I'll make sure I give u a bad review that u guys deserve as well on my big following social media platforms. read more

My $70 gel manicure chipped and cracked within two days of my appointment. they make you give them a credit card number to book an appointment over the phone yet when it's time to pay they conveniently no longer take credit cards, only venmo and cash app, and somehow they blame that on covid? i think they just don't want to pay taxes. overall they were rude and it wasn't a pleasant experience. read more

Gables Nails is spacious, clean and offers a wide array of services. They feature a larger than average variety of polishes in both regular and gel. Honestly, I followed my nail technician, Melissa, to this location a few weeks ago. I have lived in Miami for over 15 years and have always frequented nail salons based on cleanliness, convenience and efficiency, for the most part. Melissa is the difference maker for me and my husband who have become her loyal customers over the past year. She is very detail oriented and provides a mani/pedi that lasts a full two weeks and has never left me feeling like I needed to go home to correct or finish her work, as is often the case with random nail technicians. While Gables Nails is above average in terms of its facilities, I would likely follow Melissa to her next location if she were to leave. I do appreciate the salon's online booking system. It makes appointments easy to book and sends you email reminders and the option to add appointments directly to your calendar. I'm not a frequent reviewer because I have to be wowed by a product or service in order to take the time. Melissa and Gables Nails were worth my time. read more

Visiting in Coral Gables for the first time. I went on the hunt for a nail place in the areas. My SNS from two weeks ago in Austin needed to be redone. I walked into another nail salon and thankfully the person that does the SNS was not in yet, so I decided to walk around buy time while the nail tech came in. I walked right to Gables Nails. I was cheerfully greeted by Kim. She did an amazing job; better then the place in Austin. Since there will be additional trips to this area, I will definitely come see Kim again at Coral Gables Nails read more

My daughter and I went to do our nails and the first time was fine but the second time, this women,MABEL,starting to raise her voice to my daughter because she said that she can't remove those types of nails and because my daughter couldn't tell her the exact and specific material of those nails. FIRST: YOU CAN'T NEVER RAISE YOUR VOICE TO MY DAUGHTER AGAIN! When I told you don't do that, you told me that it was not with her, that it was because always, your colleagues or your bosses give you the jobs that you don't like...that is not an excuse to raise your voice to MY DAUGHTER. SECOND: We are not experts to know the specific material the nails that your salon put to her. And THIRD It made us feel horrible and not respected. Mrs LINDA ended attending us who was a beautiful person, and SHE apologized a lot of times for the behavior of her partner. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! read more

I wish I can give it a zero after doing my nails and feet which the poor girl who did, did do a good job. I didn't leave her a tip because I was so angry. The only way to pay is using an app on your phone, you can't give a credit card and when I told her I don't use apps she wouldn't let me leave the store without leaving my wallet or my phone to go pull out cash. There are a lot of people that do not use apps and you cannot only ask for that sort of payment in a establishment. They didn't mention that at all when I got there, they have a little tiny sticker stuck on the front desk saying it , no sign where it's visible before you get your nails done. Then when I explained I don't use apps to pay things (like my mother wouldn't either so I'm not sure what she would've ever done to leave the place) they were all very rude and very ugly. The owner really should close down, shes had this business for a while (because I've been in the past) and looks miserable and is very very unprofessional, Not to mention watches TV as she's doing nails, looks tired and has a very bad attitude when she speaking to you and pushing high priced work. read more

I wish I would have read previous negative review. I am a flight attendant based in Miami. I travel all over and get my nails filled across the country! I was in the Coral Gables neighborhood between flights. Walked in and asked if I could get nails filled. Told them they were acrylic and I wanted gel. When she asked If I wanted them shorter I said yes...we are not allowed to have long nails. She never mentioned an extra charge for "lifting" "thinning thick nails" or anything. I pay 45.00 everywhere I go. I was shocked when I went to pay and she said 60.00!!!!! I thought a mistake? A whole new set of nails is not much more?? I walked out and looked at their list of prices. There was nothing about "extra charges" on their price list! I want my money back as I planned on paying 45.00 plus tip. I did not have 70.00 to pay for a fill. This business is deceptive and not upfront with their customers on the exact charges. Please read reply I received. I will contact BBB if not refunded. I feel like I was robbed. read more

Gables Nails - Text - Nail Salons Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

This is not the kind of review I like to do but I think it's necessary. I even thought about it over night before posting. I was recommended to this place and because I needed my nails done I didn't want to pay attention to the reviews. The young lady at the front was very nice. The lady who did my many pedi was pleasant; I introduced myself hoping she would too but she just smiled. It was all going well until we got to my mani. I was very specific with what I wanted square top with rounded corner and to make sure the side were well painted because otherwise the mani won't last. She filled down my right hand way lower than my left without even asking me first if I wanted then shorter, which I didn't. The tops werent square and none of the nails were left the same length or the same style since some she left rounded. When i told her they weren't even, her excuse was one hand had been longer at which time I actually clarified I had made sure to fill all the same size after my middle finger nail had broken. She did not get all the sides painted as I had asked her either. When the nails were dry, I accidentally touched one against my cheek and felt it wasn't dry. Her explanation was, the last coat left a sticky film that she had to take off, odd I thought but ok. She cleans the nails and the results were some had shine while others looked dull and unevenly coated. I point it out to her and this time she tells me it's because the nail has to be buffed out. I have been getting gels for over two years and never have I had them buffed out which mind you it didn't work. But wait the best part is I paid $20 more than all the other places I've gone to in the past and that did not include tip or parking because I had to pay for street parking. On a good note, (I think)I brought the issues up while paying and the receptionist did offer to get someone else to fix them but I had to get going after being in there for an hour and half and no reduction was even mentioned. In conclusion, nice people, bad job and coral gable mark up. I personally will not be returning read more

This is literally THE worst nail salon I've been to yet. It hasn't even been a WEEK and my nail already broke off. T did my nails and made my cuticles bleed and argued with me telling me that my nail was straight and my finger is crooked when it was my NAIL that was crooked. Was charged for shape when I literally asked before if they charge for shape and was told "not really". Overpriced and horrible service/quality. Don't waste your time or money here lol read more

I've been going to Gables Nails for about two years now. I have recommended this place to all of my co-workers who have also made this their new salon. Linda is a great receptionist! She knows most customers by name and is quick to guide you to the appropriate station for fast service. Kim's technique and skill is like no other. I regularly do my dip manicure with her and I'm satisfied each and every time. My nails last up until my next manicure - never any complaints. Said does my pedicure and he's absolutely the best. He makes sure to take his time and pays attention to detail. I visit this salon every 3 weeks and it's always a pleasure. read more

Wouldn't even give this place one star. In Miami for a week stopped by to pamper myself a bit even though a had a pedi before coming. The African American lady that I came to find out was the manager had a terrible attitude like she didn't even want to be there. Just very negative vibes. And the lady who did my pedi didn't even massage my feet for a minute which is why I mainly went there. Terrible experience overall. read more
