Man, let me tell you... Deanna at Hammer & Nails in Gainesville just delivered premium foot therapy like she had a degree in restoring souls and soles. Her touch? Perfect. Her pressure? Dialed all the way in. Her attention to detail? Had me feeling like royalty in the chair. If you're anywhere near Gainesville, do yourself a favor and go see her -- she'll get you right, no questions asked. Additionally, the experience that I got from the front end from Miss Karla is top shelf. She is so detail oriented and she makes this place work like a well oiled machine. Nothing but complete team synergy this place hits. read more

I had a great overall experience at Hammer & Nails. The shop definitely lives up to its "luxury grooming for men" vibe--I left feeling relaxed and taken care of. My haircut with Chrissy was amazing. She was warm, friendly, and easy to talk to, and the conversation made the whole experience even better. She really set the tone for a great visit. The front desk staff (I'm sorry I forgot her name) was also very welcoming. She took the time to introduce the services and even gave me a tour, which I appreciated. The only part of my visit that didn't quite match the rest was my pedicure. The technician--Arlene or Marlene, I believe--seemed to rush through the session. She had a headphone in, which I don't mind if it helps her focus, but the overall experience felt a bit quiet and less engaging. I would've appreciated more check-ins, like asking if everything felt okay or if I had any specific concerns (for example, areas like calluses that I wanted extra attention on). That said, everyone was very nice, and I still left feeling pampered. With just a little more attention to detail during the pedicure, this would've been a perfect experience. read more

I came in and saw Lorenzo Morales to get my beard shaped up and looking neat for my upcoming marriage. Also had a facial...I think it was the premium beard service. He did an amazing job. He did exactly what I wanted and I'm looking good for the wedding. Go see this man. I will be back...FOR SURE! read more

Monica is amazing, she has insanely gentle hands, and I could barely even tell that she was cutting my hair. It was an amazing experience and came out perfect very clean and professional well 100% be back again. I will be a returning customer. read more

Another fantastic appointment. Haircut with Lorenzo and a manicure with Peyton. I recommend asking for both of them on your next visit. The entire staff is great at the Gainesville location. Join the club if you have not already. read more

See all

First time customer, I went to relax on my birthday. I received Excellent service! Staff was well aware of my request and they were willing to help with my needs read more

Avoid this place. I can't speak for all locations, but at this location they're like vultures when it comes to looking for a tip. The service that they provide is just descent but nothing special. Also don't go here thinking that the actual price is the price shown. The barbers and other workers are nice and do a great job so maybe the company should just pay them more instead of expecting us to pay their employees wages. $90 a month for 2 haircuts is high enough already and should have the tip included. Nothing is guaranteed with this place besides the fact that when you leave a bad review the owner will call you at 8:30 Easter night complaining that you left a bed review about her business. Also I'm sure she's going to leave a long lengthy reply to my review telling me how I'm wrong about everything just like she does on every bad review. LOL Do you actually believe your lies? My spouse nor anyone else ever called out anything. Oh and after I handed her the phone she just wanted to make sure that I didn't damage your fragile ego. Nothing more. read more

First time today. Great haircut and beard trim by Chrissy. Ashley on the desk is great also. Bought the membership and encourage readers to do the same. read more

I have been to a few of these salons that cater to and pamper men. This is unquestionably the best of them. They offer full service haircuts, including wash, and hot towel. Although my main indulgence is the various options of pedicure. Yes, they serve you beer and wine while you wait and while you are groomed. You have your personal TV with noise-canceling headphones, while you are completely pampered. I am standing by my five star review. Since this is the nicest place I've been in any ZIP Code. That said, I look forward to the day when they also serve whiskey as an option aside from beer or wine. Men, try it I dare you! read more

Awesome place for men! Highly recommend. Monica was great. Straight razor shave and facial.

Let me start by saying the haircut I got was really great, I have no issue with the haircut I received. However, it was not any better than the one I get for $25 at my much closer barber shop. As a first time customer I was supposed to get the premium cut for the price of the regular cut. One of the differences being a 45 minute experience versus a 30 minute. Unfortunately, I was in and out of there in less than 30 and that includes paying and walking to the car. It was supposed to come with a neck massage as well which if I received I don't remember getting which probably tells you enough right there. I don't see myself joining as a member for several reasons including the fact this place is 35 minutes away. Also, the fact my experience wasn't that much different from the $25 barber shop is hard to justify the additional expense. I did get a free beer out of the deal but I could have bought several cases of beer for the money I saved by staying close to home. I may come back for the pedicure service in the back room because that looked cool but I just don't see what the advantages are to spending $120 for a premium haircut at this place. read more

I was overdue for a haircut and Ms. Shay got me looking high and tight for the approaching holidays. She did an amazing job as always. She is meticulous and always has me looking my best. I also tried a facial for the first time, which was the best thing I've done for myself in a long time. I felt rejuvenated afterward. Ms. Shay was able to help alleviate the ingrown hairs on my neck and made my face feel 10 years younger. The front staff is always super welcoming and friendly every time I visit too. read more

Came here as a gift and Arlyn was awesome for a pedicure. I stand for work all day so getting my feet taken care of makes a huge difference in how my whole body feels. Thank you hammer and nails! read more

Had an awesome mani/pedi with Melissa! 10/10 highly worth it, especially as a first timer

amazing haircut by Shawn and great pedicure by Paola. always a fun time coming to Hammer & Nails!

Booked at last min appt due to hectic schedule and saw Ms Shay. She took her time and attention to every detail. To out all the bulk on top to flow with my fade. Suggestion to hair shows her knowledge and skill. Definitely book with her. Also this spot has excellent drinks before your appointment. read more

Lorenzo hooks it up ! Honestly Though you can't go wrong with any artist here. Been getting classic cuts and classic beard trims. Professional and high class! read more

This place was indescribable! FINALLY, a solan that caters to men (and Not just the metro-sexual type) I started with a Premium Pedicure. Even got a veteran discount! The quality of the service isn't to be rivaled! The Technician took her time and really paid attention to detail. The overall feeling, the look, even the smell ....spoke of a male atmosphere! Price was a tad high, but well worth it! I tipped a little extra as my Technician was expecting! read more

100% recommend. The staff really makes the experience. The ambiance is a perfect balance of upscale and classy, yet casually comfortable at the same time. I've been coming here for a couple months now and every time has been an enjoyable experience. I've had Dayane for both my haircut and a manicure, and she has been awesome and welcoming. On my first visit a couple months ago I had the pleasure of meeting the owner who struck up casual conversation while I was sitting at the bar. Her hospitality really set the tone for the whole experience and it was great to see that carry over to the mentality of the staff. Oh, and did I mention - she was actually working to cover an employee's closing shift who was in an accident on their way to work. That just shows the dedication to not only the business but her staff as well! I highly recommend giving Hammer & Nails a try. Especially if you've never had a manicure - still surprised it took me this long in life to get one! read more

Lorenzo nailed a first time haircut. Very professional & great recommendations. Comfortable environment for a haircut

Melissa did an outstanding job for my husband. She provided a first rate pedicure and manicure. He was truly pampered and will definitely be a regular client. read more

Awesome service!! Pedicure by Mel and haircut by Lorenzo. Recommend this service for everyone!!!

I go see Shay at Hammer and Nails in Gainesville every 2-3 weeks. Shay is friendly, she listens to what you want, and her attention to detail is unmatched! read more

Book with Lorenzo. 10/10 service. Great place and vibe. Well worth the membership and at a reasonable price. read more

I booked a premium pedicure for myself and a sport package pedicure for my brother as a birthday gift. It was more so of a running joke since we both had serious workman's feet, so I went really expecting too much. However, I was surprised at how awesome this experience was. The bar in itself Would have made the trip worthwhile, but the service was top notch. Our feet felt as soft as a newborn bum and looked better than my wife's feet. If I didn't live so far, I might be a regular here for the manpampering, but my brother is sold. He'll be coming back often for some TLC for his feet and maybe find his new hair spot as well read more

Ok...so I just had my first visit to Hammer & Nails. I'll be honest, I was skeptical and figured I'd leave thinking it was just an overpriced haircut/beard trim and just return to my regular barber. I was WRONG! I received a better cut/trim than my normal barber, a full shampoo/conditioner, beard conditioning, a great beard trim with razor cut and left smelling and feeling amazing! Who would have known!!! They have a "membership" which was mentioned briefly by my stylist Paige, who was amazing, and figured it would be double what my barber would charge. WRONG again! It's just a few more dollars more but it includes two monthly services. Pretty spiffy! I'm signing up! read more

Great haircut - worth the money. I believe Paige was my barber. He was awesome. Very thorough. My only complaint was the hard sell on the membership. I get my hair cut about once every 6 weeks so a membership doesn't make sense. No one went over the top trying to sell it, but it came up in every conversation and my concern is that I'll eventually get annoyed enough to stop coming back. Part of the value in paying more for a haircut is the relaxation factor. It's not relaxing to have to constantly explain why I don't want a monthly membership. But other then that. It was well worth the money, and the haircut itself was noticeably better then a typical barbershop. read more

Lorenzo cut my son's hair. He knew exactly what to do with my son's double crowns (kept the hair long), so he wouldn't get cowlicks. He cleaned up the back and gave my son the exact haircut he wanted. Would totally recommend this place and Lorenzo! Top notch! read more

Lorenzo was excellent. He really made my face look and feel good. Also rehydrated it.

I went for a shave and cut and it was an interesting experience. Shave was ok, I have sensitive skin so probably wouldn't do again. Cut was great. read more

Stopped in for a premium cut today wirh Shay and it was an excellent experience as usual!

Shay is incredibly skilled and took great care of my teenaged nephew. He has always dreaded haircuts because he is never happy with the end result, but his first cut with Shay won't be his last. She took the time to understand what he wanted and even to show him how to style it and use products to recreate the look at home. He was very happy! read more

Got a clean cut and shave from Sim today and he was great! will Definitely be coming back just because of him

Awesome vibe and top notch service. Make sure you go see Shay! She's amazing and treats her clients with so much respect and it shows in her work. read more

This place is awesome!! Lorenzo cut my hair and did a fantastic job!! Love the way he cuts my hair and is a super cool person! After my cut Mel performed my pedicure and it was amazing experience!! It was my first time and Mel made me feel externally comfortable and I will be doing this from now on! read more

Have been a member for over a year. I've always been pleased with the services. Shay is fantastic!

I'm writing this review for my husband because he doesn't write reviews. I told him he needed a pedicure or I wouldn't be seen with him with his sandals on! I found hammer and nail and I thought it would be the perfect venue for him. We'll it was! He had a great experience and I'm sure he will return. If you have a spouse or significant other who thinks their too macho to get a pedicure than this is the ticket!!! read more

Okay hear me out. This was the best mani pedi I've ever received. I went here as a woman using my husbands membership. And although they didn't paint my nails, the experience was so relaxing. Melissa did an amazing job! read more

I'd like to shout out Melissa at this location. She really goes over and above in her management skills by ensuring a special appointment each time. She is an exceptional customer service oriented individual. Highly recommended! read more

Satisfied our custom haircut request with no questions asked! Will return In the future!
