I asked for them to remove my gel acrylics and they used the electrical sander on every single one of my nails down to almost my skin. it was painful and when i said it hurt she kept going and held my hand. I'd never come back here. all of my nails are now broken due to the fact they are basically one layer now. Thanks ladies! read more

The best nail salon in this area! I would drive an hour to come to them just because of how kind they are to be each customer that walks through their door. the husband and wife go out of their way to remember their clients names. Their work is so cleanly as well as neatly done every time! read more

They took me right away. The girl who did my nails was very accommodating as well with what I was looking for and they turned out great. Not a super fancy salon but they have a great color selection. I am overall very pleased with my dip mani and pedicure. read more

Returned for the millionth time but this experience completely different from past appointments. My nail tech must have had Covid because her utter misery was that evident. Not that she was sick- just absolutely a wretch. Kimmy was lovely as usual, but I wish I had shown her my pedicure because it very likely was the most pathetic paint job I've ever received. Slap-happy and goopy. I knew this upon exiting but had already had enough of the dour attitude and needed to get air! But I knew my feet hadn't completely dried and another tech was rushing me out; in the process messed up a few nails which had to be redone...:( read more

I was visiting Connecticut for the weekend and decided to get my nails done last minute. I have gotten dip powder manicures all over the country and this was by far the best! Great attention to detail, amazing color. Just a wonderful job. Highly suggested! read more

Very clean place and everyone was very nice and accommodating. It was a last minute decision to try a new place closer to work and I'm glad I listened to the other yelp reviews. It really was a great place for a pedicure and they did such an awesome job! I'll definitely be back again. read more

Lovely staff, so friendly and patient. We came an hour before close for appointments, the only customers and although we were there past closing they were so welcoming and kind, something hard to come by in the area. Loved the selection of polish colors and spa pedicures. The massage for pedicure was the best part, he spent time on every step and my feet felt great! Very clean and simple interior, offered water and beverages complimentary. It was a bit pricey for a mani-pedi but we did upgrade to gels and spa pedicures which take much longer. for the area, the prices are normal. We will be back to try more metallics thank you! read more

HORRIBLE. Inexperienced, rushed, didn't accept coupon. Wouldn't recommend and would NEVER go back

Definitely coming back ... regular place was busy at 4pm and couldn't accommodate. Drove down Route 25 and remembered this place but also remembered how awful and dirty it was 1 year ago. Walked in and what a difference! Completely renovated and 3 very enthusiastic and cheerful women greeted me! I was pampered for 1 1/2 hours - pedicure with an amazing foot massage and great attention to detail with the nail polish. Manicure - very good hand massage and again, amazing attention in every aspect. I was even given a neck massage which was totally unexpected and this woman knew what she was doing. This location was previously in disarray and not a clean place, but like I said, it is under new ownership and they deserve a chance to succeed. Please visit and you will not be disappointed. I'm giving a full 5 stars because it was a very pleasant surprise at 4:00 on a Sunday afternoon. read more

I recently decided to get a full set of nail tips looked up local places. I live in Monroe, went in on Sat they took me right away and it was busy. Very clean, very nice, very impressed. Prices were very reasonable. nice large Tv to watch.on the wall. Every one was super friendly . The girl was exceptional so pleasant and concerned if liked my nails. I would highly recommend Golden Nails, good hours too!! My nails look beautiful, just how I imagined. Great job! read more

They always do such a great job here. They are super friendly, work quickly, but not too quickly, and my nails always look perfect when I leave. They are very clean, using materials fresh from unopened packages. Also their sinks all have liners in them that are changed after each pedicure. It is always a pleasant, positive experience when I get my nails done here. read more

Love this nail salon!!! I come all the way from New Haven just to get my nails done here. I do work in Monroe but even on days off its worth it. The employees are so nice and they give you so much attention. Prices are fair and the scenery is relaxing. read more

If you haven't been to golden nail salon then you're missing out. Golden nail is the best nail salon in Monroe and newtown area. Camie (the owner) is very friendly, funny and very professional. She is always so helpful with choosing what color to do. The salon is organized as they all work as team players! Every employee has a positive attitude. John, who does my pedicure gives amazing massages! I'm highly satisfied! I love this place!!!! Xoxo read more

While this place is across town, I will always make the trip. My usual place was Coco nails but it is just too busy, too crowded, and the workers do not take their time. The first time I came here was on a Friday (same day as the town prom) with my mom and sister and they took us right away for 3 manicures. I decided to go back a few weeks later and the woman recognized me straight away, asked how my sisters prom was, and if my mom returned to Pennsylvania. Seriously? How often does business owner remember you after your first time there!? Right away I knew this was my new place. They are so friendly and do such an amazing job. I had her take off my acrylics and do a gel manicure, she very kindly suggested a powder gel and told me it would help strengthen my nails. It was refreshing to be offered in a kind and gentle way to help my nails rather than just for her to make some more money. The only possible downside (which I don't personally think is a downside) is that they do take their time to ensure your nails and hands look and feel beautiful. It was a lengthy manicure but then again I did have acrylics taken off and my nails were in bad shape. If coming here, make sure you have the extra time to spare because they will not let you leave with a subpar mani/pedi! You can pay with cash or card, and tips are preferred in cash (although I didn't have any cash on me she was still polite and thrilled for a tip on my card). read more

I absolutely love this nail salon! I have been back 3 times already, and I live 30 minutes away. I have never been to a nail salon that cares so much about each customer. I had my wedding nails done today, and they are perfection!!! I will continue to keep driving out of my way for Golden nails because of the amazing job they do! read more

Golden Nail - Perfect wedding nails!! In love with them! - Nail Salons Near Me - Monroe, Connecticut

New owners, again, but Camie is super professional and so sweet! I've been through 3 owners now and like her the best. She obviously has a lot of experience and does beautiful nails. Super clean, affordable, and wants customers to be happy. I do gel nails regularly, broke a nail a few days later and she so kindly repaired for free! Highly recommended. read more

Horrible time. Got a pedicure only to wait 2 hours for a manicure. Painted my own nails because we had to leave to go to a wedding. No one helped us they just ignored us and did new peoples nails. Still had to pay full price even though they didn't even file our nails. Now we're gonna be late to the wedding. read more

LOVE this place! Ive been hoping nail salons all over town in search of one to stick with and this is definitly it! I get acrylic nails, and i need them short/lasting because of my job. This salon is very clean is the staff is so friendly. Love it so much there and constantly look foreword to getting my nails done read more

Have had several manicures at Golden Nail since August. After the first visit, they knew me by name. Very personable and friendly staff; I had gone with my daughters once and now they ask me how they are every visit. Neat, clean, friendly, efficient and professional. I had a low break on a nail so they put a silk wrap on it to prevent it from snagging, tearing and bleeding, 2 days later, the repair did not hold so I went back fully expecting to pay for another repair. Instead they repaired my nail free of charge with gel nail. It made my day. I would highly recommend them to my friends and family. They accept walk-ins, but if you plan on going at a more popular time of day (after school, work or on weekends), I would recommend making an appointment. read more

Had a 1:30 appointment the man who was going to be doing my nails was on his phone until 2:00. Whiped my hands with a dirty towel, he smudged my nail and said he didn't have time to fix it and overall my manicure looks awful I will need to get this done tomorrow. I recommend staying far away from this place. read more

I haven't been here in such a long time but the new look is amazing! It's so fresh and clean and she is so welcoming! I had a weekend over the weekend and wanted a full tip set and didn't like the last place I went so I decided to try this place out after my friend had raved about it. I love them! She really took her time on each nail and they look fantastic. Definitely coming back! read more

Love this place!! Came with my mom for the first time on my birthday, got a mani pedi and it was amazing! Super clean, super friendly staff. They have toe polish/nail gel combo boxes so you can match your gel mani to your toes ! Also, definitely upgrade to the spa pedicure - the whole staff knows REFLEXOLOGY and they do it with your foot massage part of the pedicure. :) They love massaging here and will go over the 10min. I would definitely recommend! I am here now after work, came all the way from Norwalk, got here at 6pm, an hour before they close and they still accommodated me for the mani/pedi - no problem! And their Reflexology was so good the last time I just had to upgrade to spa pedicure again! Thanks Golden! You guys are the greatest! Definitely put a sign with balloons on the street so everyone who commutes on route 25 knows you're here ! :) :) read more
