I have searched and gone to many nail salons in the vicinity. Venus Nails&Spa is next level! I got a pink&white set, a refill to the pink&white set, and an acrylic blue French with blue gel (pictured) set. I greatly appreciate the expertise of the staff. They care about healthy nails and custom styles. I also highly recommend the pretty much any pedicure. Their prices are posted and very reasonable. The deluxe pedicure is lovely. I have my eye set in the Volcano pedicure next. If you're looking for the perfect retreat, atmosphere, and vibes- go here! Bonus: the care and price!

She did no cuticle prep at all, she didn't clean up the excess chrome on the side of my fingers, and there was a ridiculous amount of gel left under my nails. There was so much gel that when I got home I used my nail drill to take off the bulk of it. They also started lifting after less than a week and fell off within 10 days. There were also deep grooves in my nail beds aka rings of fire. For paying $70 + tip for a service I expect it to feel like a $70 service and it did not. Really disappointed, won't be going back.

I have been coming here to get my lashes done for about a year now and ABSOLUTELY LOVE this place…read more The Beauty Factory is a female owned beauty salon offering a variety of services from eyelashes, to eyebrows, to nails, etc. The interior is super clean and they offer complimentary snacks, drinks, and coffees for their guests. The service is phenomenal and I love the people who work there. They are genuinely some of the nicest, most accommodating people. I have been seeing Darimar for my lashes and she always does a wonderful job. She is the sweetest and I am always happy with the way my lashes turn out! Booking appointments is super easy and efficient as well. Everything can be completed on their website. You can even request the technician/specialist you want to see. They do require you to put a small deposit down to confirm your appointment. Although this is factored into the total cost of your service, and therefore is deducted when you pay after your appointment. I have never had any issues booking appointments and they will work with you if you need to adjust the time for an appointment (up to a certain time in advance). They do have a strict cancelation policy, but this is clearly stated on their website. Again, I have never had any problems with this and think it is very fair! Overall, The Beauty Factory is a wonderful beauty salon in Gainesville. The service is above and beyond. All the ladies working there are so friendly and their services are personalble. I always look forward to visiting when I get my lashes done because I feel welcomed. Darimar does a fantastic job on my lashes and I always leave so happy! I truly could go on and on with ample amounts of positive things to say about this business. Truly one of the best in Gainesville and I would highly recommend looking into booking an appointment with them, you won't be disappointed!

I'm pretty new to the pedicure game, I'll have to admit, but I've tried a few places in town now…read moreand I'll say this has been my favorite spot when considering the entire experience and the value. I get the Lavender pedicure for $39 and I have a great time. Kim and Shu have both been my specialists before and both give great massages, and my feet leave feeling very smooth. My nails get trimmed well and although I hate when they mess with my cuticles, my feet ultimately thank them. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. Complimentary drink included!

Are you serious I can't buy an extra ten minutes? Not only is the answer no but the kid lectured me on how they are not a reflexology place. Ok.... Then they did not have the hot pink color I wanted so I had to modify there as well and settle. Ok... They do offer complimentary water and wine, but do beware, you are only allowed one glass. Wtf? I'm going to the hospital, was going to be getting a couple hours of mani / pedi service, spend well over $100 with you and you lecture me that I can't have a second glass of wine? Uh, no... Li is lovely and worth seeing if you go to the salon. Stay away from Noire as it's not high end as it appears to be and definitely not worth the up-charged prices. May as well go to a ratty nail shop instead and save $$$. We women gladly pay $$$ to relax and be pampered. It is very upsetting to go somewhere expecting pampering and not receive it.

Highly recommend Pretty Nails & Spa! They were clean, organized, and efficient. Everyone seemed…read morehappy with their nails, including me! Staff were friendly and helpful, and the pedicure/manicure chairs were very nice. A couple info points that I like to know about my nail salons: - Pedicure chairs have massage functions - Pedicure lotion is not heated, but the towels are - Manicure chairs are comfortable - They used Bath & Bodyworks lotion, which I'm not super fond of. I would prefer a professional brand. Also, the fragrances of their products were fruity, which many people don't like. I like floral or no scent, which I think is pretty standard. Overall, it was so nice to have a mani pedi with foot/leg and hand/arm massages! I would prefer better products, but the nail work is terrific. Very satisfied with my nails!

Pros: - owners are nice…read more - easy online booking - conveniently located on hwy 90 Cons: - not very skilled at nails beyond the basics - deceptive photos on google If you want something basic, this place is fine. If you want anything even a little elaborate, go somewhere else. I chose this nail salon because of the amazing photos they have on Google Reviews. I love nail art, especially during the holidays, so I was wanting simple glitter ombré, with snowflakes on top. I showed not only a pic of what I wanted, but a video as well. During my appointment it became apparent Jessica did not even know how to do gel glitter ombré, so I pivoted to just doing a simple layer of glitter on top of the neutral color I had picked out, so what I walked away with was nothing like what I asked for. My nail polish isn't super even, and I need to touch up the filing. I simply don't like my nails, and am disappointed this is what I will have for the holidays. I totally understand that not every nail tech is skilled at nail art, but then make that clear. Tell the client it's not possible, and that you can only do the basics. I would have just went with red nails if I had originally known what I was going to get by trying to get nail art. My pedicure was good.

Everything has…read morealways been pricey, and while lamination worked the best for me, I can't justify spending $150 every few weeks, especially because my eyebrow hair grows so fast. I've heard about Ziba during the 20 years I've lived in Gainesville but never felt inclined to visit until recently. I'm so glad I finally did. The service was quick, she was incredibly friendly, and she genuinely understood my whole eyebrow journey. We even laughed about why it took me so long to come to her. The threading didn't hurt like other places, and she was so precise. For $25, it truly can't be beat. I even told her she should charge more, but she explained how she tries to stay mindful of her clients and the cost of living. That alone says so much about her character. I had booked tinting too, thinking I needed it, but she was honest and told me I didn't. That level of integrity is rare. I walked out so satisfied with my brows, and I'll definitely be coming back.
