If you don't have an appointment call. They're happy to accommodate you day of. Otherwise if there isn't room they will tell you to come back in an hour or two. It's a small salon, but they have awesome pedicure options. It isn't the fanciest salon, but it's a decent one and reasonable. They were super nice to help with minor accommodations. The pedicure chair has a cell phone charger. The had the callus gel remover for 10$ extra, very worth it. I take excellent care of my feet, but even with regular buffing and those foot peels I was surprised to see the huge difference it made. I just love the Galaxy mail polish I got. read more

This place sucks . Doesn't even deserve 1 star. I had a bad mani/pedi before bcz they thin the polish and it chipped the next day .However, I tried them again and this was the worst pedicure I have had . Never cut the cuticles. I even brought my own polish . Heels look awful . Questioned why my heels look like this and she said you got dry skin . read more

Gold Nails - Apparently dry skin - Nail Salons Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

I've never been to Gold Nails and heard nice things so I wanted to give it a try. Upon arriving I was greeted by one of the employees and told to pick out a color. I picked my colors and sat down in the chair. My pedicure was good, but not great. Very little interaction with the employee. Very little scrubbing of callouses, my nails were not clipped, just filed. I sat down to get a gel. Still, very little interaction... but a nice gel manicure. I did notice my fingers were burning for 2 seconds each time they went under the light. Not sure why but it wasn't excessive enough to say anything. He also did not cut the skin around my nails which I have gotten with any other manicure I've ever had. He did use a drill... which was weird because I only got a gel. Pros: the hand wax mold. Wow, did my hands feel soft, nice manicure, speedy service, massage, hot towel Cons: mediocre customer service, a bit pricey, did not meet my basic expectations They definitely do an OK job. I would return IF customer service was better and the employee did a better job communicating with me but I'd definitely like a smile or something to make it seem like they wanted my business! read more

Had a basic manicure and they did a great job. No frills but only $15 so that's expected. My nails look great. Took a star away because the place is very small with no place to wait for your appointment and zero air flow. read more

,This nail salon is by far one of the best places in Rhode Island. The establishment is clean, comfortable, and the employees are very kind. For the standard prices as most nail salons, they provide more services (parafin wrap for hands, wrapping heels in Saran with a special lotion, warm back massage, calves exfoliated). You'd think you were in a 5 star spa for the little extras. I really love being pampered by Gold Nails! read more

This was the nail in the coffin for me. Very sad since I have been multiple times before and am happy to support local businesses. I went in as a walk-in this afternoon, and asked for dip powder on my natural nails. I was seated quickly and looked through the booklets for dip colors. There wasn't much of a selection, so I asked to see the gel colors. Nothing impressed me so I settled with a nice pastel color that was in the dip booklet. I was a bit indecisive, for which I apologized over and over. It was very clear they were annoyed with me since the owner mocked me to the workers. Which was offensive and rude. The worker who did my nails left my nails very sloppy. The pictures speak for themselves. Residue left all over my fingers, ripped skin under my thumb and not even some cuticle oil to soothe/repair the dryness that happens with dip. It's clear that if you annoy them, they'll let you know it. Save your money and look for another salon or individual nail tech. read more

I give this place 0 stars they cut my cuticles they were rushing the whole time, two people were switch off during the process and they did a horrible job on my nails. The pictures speaks for itself. This set was supposably 50$ unacceptable . read more

Gold Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

Rude employees slow and messy other customers were complaining about there nails to and over charged

As most women know there are nail salons on almost every street and they all are VERY similar. They typically offer all the same services for around the same price and there is really nothing that makes them stand out! However Gold's is a place that FINALLY stood out. In addition to it being clean the staff are also very nice. I first came here during the week and it was quiet which was great because there was no wait and I walked in. I got a classic French Pedicure which was AMAZING. My pedicurist actually spent an appropriate amount of time on my feet for once! The pedicure- which included a standard massage was incredible but the best part was the hot stones! The hot stones took my pedicure from average to amazing! Then as my nails were drying I was treated to a wonderful neck massage! So the hot stones and the neck massage are two extras right there; which stood out and is enough to keep me coming back! read more

I wanted to try this place based on the reviews & im so glad I did. I got a gel mani & gel pedi, all the extras are amazing! From the hot stones to paraffin wax and the back massage.. even the weighted heated neck cushion was nice. They do get busy very quickly so plan accordingly or make an appointment, but they are worth the wait . read more

I went to Gold Nails on the recommendation of a friend. I was so pleasantly surprised! I had a .function to attend and really needed a manicure and pedicure... I was able to get in and had the most wonderful, relaxing, pedicure and manicure. The spa is extremely clean and is owner- operated so they really keep everything up to speed. The pedicure baths are all disinfected between clients..not only are they cleaned. but they are then lined with a new plastic! I have never seen this done in any of the other salons or spas I have been to. The pedicure was wonderful! I sat in a massage chair that has all of the bells any whistles--lower back, upper back, whole back, gentle, deep tissue, rolling, punching, relaxing...anything you could possibly want!!!! While my feet were being pampered I read my kindle. A wonderful massage for my legs and feet! After the polish was applied they put warm wax on my heels and then covered the heel area with plastic wrap. Then a warm wax treatment for my hands! After the polish wax was removed from my hands I again washed my hands and then my nails were filled and the cuticles were oiled and cleaned up. Warm towels were used to remove the oil, etc. And then came the polish. While that was being done my neck and shoulders were receiving a wonderful massage. Since I had gel polish applied (so it wouldn't chip it peel while I was away, it took no time to dry). Oh I forgot to mention that during all this pampering a nice cold bottle of Poland Springs water was brought to me...this was so appreciated as it was one of those very hot, humid bad hair days !!! I must say that I was so very pleased with everyone and everything Gold Nails has to offer! I will DEFINITELY be returning! !! read more

Gold Nails - More!!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

I usually LOVE this place!! The services you receive for the price you pay are above and beyond! (I usually get a mani/pedi). The staff are sweet and friendly and always do a thorough job! However, my experience today was anything but! I was rushed to pick a color, sat down in a chair, and then the guy didn't even ask me what type of pedicure I wanted (I usually get a pricier one with callous remover and foot massage)! He used a flat, metal foot grater that had no grates on it for a total of one minute on each foot (I haven't had a pedicure since May!!) The whole thing lasted 25 minutes! He ASSUMED I wanted a classic pedicure which, I believe, should last at least 35-45 minutes! A great place with great staff and crept for this guy!! I declined even getting a manicure from him because that's how awful he was!! I don't know his name but he's the younger of the two guys there. Again, great place, great services...just need to get rid of this guy. read more

Gold Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

This place is a new hidden gem in atwood ave. Its so near everything. I would go here after I go shopping and reward myself with some "me" time. Its so convenient too that its in a plaza with a huge parking lot. The owners are very friendly, very nice people. Their staff is very polite and would cater to whatever you want your nails to become. They have lots of colors and everytime I come, they always have new ones added. They have a nice big TV and a lot of magazines to chose from. Their massage chairs are new and are very easy to use. At the end of any service, they would give you a free back massage (my favorite part besides admiring my newly manicured nails) This place is my new go-to place. I definitely recommend this place and will becoming back a lot. read more

Gold Nails - My mom thrilled with the pampering she's revieving - Nail Salons Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

Great job by Gina! The place itself is quite small and you may have to wait a while if you don't have an appointment (I came in without one and waited 20 mins!). Gina did a great job shaping and filing my cuticles and nails. Interestingly enough, they don't soak them first, but overall their nail color selection, parrafin wax, and massage truly make up for it! Gel mani (includes wax, massage, and hot towel) is $25. You're able to tip by card! Will come back again. read more

I can't express how much I enjoy it here! It's super clean, and they have a ton of colors to choose from! My favorite is getting the gel manicure with the color change nail polish!! And the raspberry & pomegranate spa, it's very refreshing! All employees are just simply fantastic, and professional! read more

Do not go here. I've tried them 4 times, 4 times!!!!!! First two times I just needed a pedi and fill no issues. On my third time I asked for a new set the guy did refused to give me the length I wanted. Fourth time went for a color change she ended filing my nails so thin two of my acrylics randomly broke doing daily things I always do less than 24 hours. Mind you every time I seem to go I seem to pay more and more each time. They up charged you for everything nail shape I also swear they thrown I. Hidden fees like the heated pillow the hot stones for pedi in which I asked for a regular pedicure. Once I paid 70$ for a basic red nail full set and pedi. Sounds absurd. Never going back. That's it. read more

Horrible experience they are so aggressive while doing your nails. They hover over you to see what's going on. Literally pull and push your hands out the way. $30 refill for a regular color nail polish. The tech messed up while painting my nails and try to fix it but when couldn't he just told me to go dry my nails. He noticed I kept staring at the nail he had ruined and literally left the place! Had to ask another technician to fix it. They hurt me with every tool they used. Literally burned my skin and cut me varies of time. The burn feels worse than it looks. HORRIBLE read more

Gold Nails - Cut and burn from nail filer - Nail Salons Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

Nice clean place on Atwood Ave. Decently priced and staff was friendly. I ended up with a pomegranate pedicure for $40. Along with the regular pedicure treatment, this package consisted of a scrub wrap, (short) hot stone massage, 10 min foot massage AND you get a 5 min back massage as your nails dry. As a new customer, they gave me a $5 coupon for my next visit and they have a loyalty card - after 10 visits, you get a free manicure. Def not a bad deal and I would return if in the area. read more

My go to spot for my nails. There is never a line, staff doesn't ask me a bunch of annoying questions to try and force small talk, AND you got a back massage and hand massage with any manicure so it's a win win. If you pay cash you get 5% off! read more

I will never go anywhere else but GOLD NAILS! They change the game when it comes to nail services. Heres why.. -They are cleanest place I've ever been. Down to the detail of technicians wearing uniforms. -The quality is outstanding. My nails never break or chip and they are beautiful every single time. - Pricing is more than fair (5% off if you pay in cash too over $40!) -While you wait they give you a heated weighted pad for your back. - They wax dip your hands at the end! - Mini Back massage at the end (the real reason why I keep coming back) Con: They will stop what they are doing midway through to take care of another customer. I sometimes will be there 2+ hours because someone stopped filing my nails to take care of a walk-in even if i made a appointment. Gold nails you are the best! read more

Awesome nail salon! So clean from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out. The pedicure chairs are very new. They keep plastic wrap on them until a client uses it, I saw the nail artist scrub and disinfect the chair immediately after a lady got up. The people are friendly and really make sure your nails are done good. Also added bonus.. they have wifi and give you the password on the wall!!! read more

I did not have an appointment for my pedicure so I waited over 30 minutes. It was a busy Saturday afternoon for this spot. I did the basic pedicure for $30. The chairs give you massages. They line the bowl with plastic for cleanliness and the tools are sterilized. Although, the foot scrubber not too sure if it's sterilized but most places don't usually. The basic pedicure includes a sugar scrub, hot rocks, massage, and hot wax for the heels. They also add a hot towel before they paint your nails. Lastly when you go to dry your feet they give you a neck and upper back massage. Great deal and price. read more

Pros: Clean salon and no smell of chemicals, Different pedicure options, I went with the basic one and it included a hot stone massage for my legs. Complimentary Paraffin wrap and shoulder massage with manicures. Cons: I noticed there were long wait times when it got busier (close to an hr), AC wasn't working that day, One of the worst gel manicures I've ever received not even lasting a week before starting to chip. The nail tech also didn't ask how short or what shape I wanted my nails, I had to tell her twice to make my nails shorter. read more

I have been going to Gold Nails since they opened and have refused to go anywhere else since! They remember me by name and I always get individualized service, which is true for all repeat customers. They even greet my mom, fiancé, and sister by name after only seeing/meeting them once or twice! They always give amazing massages after every service that just really gives the experience that something special. After a long day of work I look forward to going in and being pampered! They give hot stone massages with every pedicure and paraffin wax treatment with every manicure. They are about average priced for the industry so not much to say about that. But the extras they provide for the same price really makes up for other salons being "cheaper". You pay for what you get! If you're looking for a new nail salon and it's close enough I'd definitely recommend trying them out! read more

Really clean!! They are friendly and their work is just pretty. I got a regular mani/pedi it was relaxing and got a warm back rub!! Excellent service read more

I had a gel mani and basic pedi. They have a wide selection of colors. During the process you dip your hands in hot wax and it leaves your skin feeling baby soft. The manicurist aren't only skilled at nails but they're also amazing at massages. They use a hot towel placed in plastic and push it over your knots over your neck, shoulders, and upper/mid back. Their massage chairs can recline and have multiple settings. They use a nice sugar scrub follow by moisturizer for all pedicures. You can pay an extra $5 for full pampering. Not only did my manicurist did beautiful work but she was the sweetest thing which is so hard to find. I felt very comfortable with her even with the language barrier. There wasn't any of that non-english smack talk like most places. Needless to say at the end I felt like a pampered princess. I left with a big smile and relaxed muscles! read more

Came here for a dip manicure and it was chipping within a week. Came back, they redid ALL of them, not just the ones that had chipped. They said it was just a new top coat they had tried. Although I wish I hadn't had to come back to fix them, they made sure they were nothing less than perfect the second time. read more

My first time here and I love it....... Got a pedicure and it was worth every penny.......

Love this place, they are always very accommodating, very clean , professional, reasonable prices, nails always look perfect!

I love this place! They place a soothingly scented heating pad on my shoulders while they file my nails, took great care shaping my nails even though I keep them very short, do a great job with the heated chair massage, and the paraffin wax dip makes me hands SO soft. The value I received for their regular manicure was far greater than any other nail salon I've been to. The punch card is also a plus, and I got a free manicure for my birthday! Would 100% recommend this nail salon. A friend recommended it, and since my first visit I have not been back to my previous nail salon. read more

I went to gold nails 3 times and loved it. However, after my last manicure, my nails hurt. I chalked it up to the gel nail polish. But three days later it hurt to touch anything and they were very red. One week later they hurt so bad i went to urgent care. They said I had a fungus and put me on a round of antibiotics. I'm traumatized! Dying for a mani/pedi but don't want to go through that again. This place gives great service but they obviously don't clean their tools well enough, don't risk it read more

person doing my manicure messed up the shape, length and even the design after saying they could do it. My mom got a pedicure and whatever they did have her nails an infection. Will not be going there ever again read more

Wasn't impressed the lady was rude upon my arrival. She made me wait 20 mins, had another tech she did horribly and put so many layers of gel on my nails I refused to tip her. She's lucky I even paid. Will never go again !!!! read more

I was ripped off. First off, I suggest you do not tip right away like I did before I had the total. I'm sorry, $20 for a polish change is too expensive. I tip 5 and it's 15 for a polish change in the toes. I'm far from cheap but I DO NOT LIKE BEING RIPPED OFF. I'm an excellent and generous customer. I firmly support small businesses, but I will never come back here again. Congratulations for the expensive polish change but you lost me when I walked out of the door. That's not smart business bc I would easily spend $100 next time when I have actual time. It's past 7:30 on a Friday night so I just needed it done read more

The best pedicure I've ever gotten! Lots of extras, neck and food massages are included

The staff is wonderful. Very clean salon, all pedi chairs have a disposable bag in the basin and tools are opened from a sterile bag. Each mani comes with paraffin wax for hands and back massage. Each pedi gets a massage, hot stones and paraffin for heels. Cannot beat this place. read more
