My first time at galaxy nails! I showed up right at 10am and was out by 10:45!! Great service, only complaint would be chrome being $15. Full set w tips, chrome, and almond for under $80. Will be returning! (reference photo included)

Festive Dip Nails

Hands down my favorite nail salon in town! I am always able to make an appointment which is usually last minute on myself, of which is always kept to actual appointment time. You walk in and see that they care. You are always greeted with a hello, Galaxy is always super clean and decorated for any occasion! I can go simple or show a picture of what I'm thinking, there is never hesitation by any of the staff. They nail it every time, even if they have other staffers help. All staff is super kind, friendly and just want your experience to be top notch! If you happen to have any problems like a break or smudge you can always stop back in for a fix, of course within a reasonable amount of days without issue. I will not go elsewhere. This is definitely one of my top favorite designs, Michael you absolutely nailed this one!!!

The only reason I'm giving a 2 is bc the lady who actually gave me service was nice. I will say that I felt like the staff was super nice with their white customers and not so much with me. I'll give several examples: First, walking in off the street, I'm NOT greeted-just "What would you like?" By a man who wouldn't even look at me twice. I say in a very nice way "I'd like to know if I can have a fill in please?" He says something I don't understand so I say "excuse me?" The lady sitting around interprets his directions and he does not look up at me at all. Next, he shoos me over to a booth and just drops some things that looks like books down. I've never been here, I don't know them so how would I have known that those were the "books" they use for you-the customer-to choose your color? He literally DID NOT SPEAK AT ALL. When the lady who did my service came over, I asked "how much is this service?" . She said "$45 for the fill in and oh! You have a mail that I need to fix, that's $3 and your nails are long, that's an additional $5." I said okay. Now, her "fix" of the nail that I expect to be her applying an overlay to the nail to save it. YES, I EXPLAINED THAT, she said they do not do that. Hun? So, even though she cut my nails down, just applied a fake nail over mine to "fix" it, my service with $56 with tax. My fingers are gritty because they don't allow you to wash your hands and what she put on my cuticles was not cuticle oil. There was no lotion, no hand rubs and not even a damn "Goodbye! Thank you for your business!" Just her pushing my hand way saying "have a nice day". I strongly recommend that if you are of color, you can spend your money at a place where you will be treated well. This is why I'm not getting nails done anymore. I don't need to be treated like I don't matter when Karen & I are paying for the same service. Very expensive service to be treated badly and there was nothing special about this lopsided fill in

Regular Manicure
Sylvia J.

Came in right at 10 am when they opened. Came for a gel manicure and pedicure. They first asked that I use hand sanitizer (which I appreciated) and then I went to pick out a color. The color of summer 2021 is a mix between neon and mint green -- and I WANTED IN ON IT! :) Unfortunately, so does everyone else. They were out of that color (for gel and dip powder) and so I ended up just getting regular nail Polish (fingers crossed it'll last). I had two nail techs - one for manicure and one for pedicure. Were very friendly and super professionals. Nail tech who did my mani tried out a bunch of colors on my nails so I could pick out a color that I liked. So appreciated. She even reminded me a few times that I needed to be extra careful with my manicure since it wasn't gel, or powder. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience and it was all done within an hour!

carrot cake color on the ends. But is yellow most of time

I had my tips painted carrot cake color and they turn yellow most of the time'. I contacted the Nail Salon and never got an answer back.

Just went here for the first time and had a wonderful experience! Everyone is nice and professional. My nails turned out amazing. I had Son as my nail tec!

Always super happy with my services at Galaxy! Salon is always super clean, friendly staff and would highly recommend.

Everything soaked off. (My nails were a MESS)
Olivia C.

After work I came in to get my nails done. I was seated right away and asked if i wanted water soda or wine. (A pleasant surprise) The service I received was the dip powder manicure and the removal of what I had on my nails already. After everything was soaked off, I had to wait about 10 because an appointment person had came in. Fast forward and older man sat down and did my nails. He let me know the color I chose had a unique finish but I decided to go with it anyway. I absolutely loved the way it turned out! I'll definitely be back I'll be sure to make an appointment though!

I just wanted a basic manicure and thought I had communicated that. Instead I got gel nails. Doubt I go back.

Currently on the look for a good nail salon in Iowa. I'm from phoenix here temporarily for work…read more Came in for a pedi and ended up doing my nails as well. The pedi was great and the man who did them was lovely. I didn't really like my manicure but that's on me for not speaking up.

My sister is getting hitched so I joined the bridal party for a mani/pedi on a random Tuesday at 5:30PM. The place was pretty busy! (Totally would recommend reservations-- which we had.) First I sat to get a pedicure. The staff was efficient and did a pretty darn good job in my opinion. I got a gel French dip and left pleased. Then I went to get a manicure. I am a chronic nail biter and I had worked so hard to grow my nails for the wedding. But alas, Bridezilla's antics the week of had me gnawing on not one but two of my pristine nails. Eeek. So I asked for an acrylic set and called it a day. I showed a photo of this pink to white ombre set I saw and I'm not gonna lie, my manicurist nailed it. Super happy. Minimal bleeding (again, I don't go to nail salons ever and am a nail biter. So I'd consider that a huge win.) I thought the pricing was high-- but who am I to judge that? The location is stellar, parking is a non issue. All of the staff were polite and professional. My manicurist/pedicurist could obviously tell I never did this and was communicative and kind. I am giving this a 3.5 star. Mostly because my daughter (the flower girl) came with and wanted just a normal pedicure with silver nail polish but then had her manicure done as she sat in the pedicure chair? She wasn't asked what she wanted (she actually wanted another color and some designs or a statement finger) but is nine so she didn't say anything. I felt bad she left disappointed... though her nails looked fabulous. Overall, Grace Salon is above average and worth a stop if you want your nails done and are on the Coralville Strip.
