We went here in a pinch on vacation. The owner let us know it was an inconvenience, but took us anyway. He acted like it would take him a long time to do our nails. We were grateful. Our nails were done just as quickly or quicker than at home. I gave better than average tips because they made me feel like I was putting them behind with mine and my daughters business and I wanted our nails nice on vacation. Plus complaining about our nails. I was growing out acrylic and refusing to have my natural nails filled. I have great natural nails and wanted to converge without pain, cutting the acrylic down and blending. It can be done. I've done it, and my natural nails were almost grown out. My daughter only had gel polish. My nail technician was ok, my daughter had the male technician, maybe the boss? who was a putz. I had a feeling and should have left when he acted like he was doing us a favor. He didn't seem busy after he quickly polished my daughters nails. Both of our polish chipped the next day on 4 fingers or more each. Which made us annoyed the rest of our vacation. The salon is cleaner than the one at home, but to pay the amount they charge on top of my great tip? I paid 158.00. For basically polish changes. No luxury hand massages or anything. My daughters was more expensive than mine? Didn't make sense. But, we were on vacation. They looked fair when we left. I wouldn't go here even as a last resort. Very full of themselves for no good reason other than location. I wish I would've saved my money and left our nails the way they were because they looked just as bad or worse the day after. We've decided to never get our nails done again!!. We can watch movies at home and do a far better job without inconveniencing ourselves or anyone else. What should have been a great experience from the reviews left us looking at our chipped nail polish day after day feeling embarrassed when we had nice events to go to in Savannah. My daughter was trying to chip her polish off yesterday 3 weeks later and I quote, " funny how this won't come off, but the edges chipped the day after". Just know they may nod and laugh. Make u feel like they're doing you a favor. They thought I complained about my local salon?!!! Our polish was up to the tips from our local salon 2 weeks earlier. We just wanted a color change. Big mistake!!! HUGE. read more

We had a wonderful experience here at Lily's! Our nails techs were so personable and funny and the massage I got was amazing. We picked this place at of the blue and we were so happy with our choice. I would definitely recommend! read more

The salon was very clean and most of the staff seemed very friendly and detail oriented. the man who did my pedicure, however, seemed very disspleased with his job, and was rough with my feet. I guess he assumed I was going to be rude to him be uase he kept talking about how much he wanted to change jobs. while he was pulling my feet out of the water he slammed them down on the mat. He was rather careless and seemed inconvenienced with having to touch another person. the other staff members were very competent and friendly. I went with my friend and she said her pedicure was very relaxing. He also roled his eyes at me a lot, even though I was trying to be friendly and polite. read more

I had been on vacation and away from home (and, thus, my regular nail salon) for about 2 and 1/2 weeks by the time I was hanging in St. Augustine. And my nails were RAG-ged! Lily's is my mom's local, so when I said I need to have my set of gels refilled, she immediately made me an appt. here. The salon is spacious, clean, bright and blissfully comfortable (I find many FL establishments have their AC cranked waaay too high for me). The staff is professional, just the right amount to chattiness (without the faux-interest). I had a "spa pedicure", as well, which was great. Dare I say, they did a better job than my place at home?! Gasp! It's true: well-shaped, nice and thin, with a beautiful paint job. And quick. The pedi and gel fill in about an hour, 15 minutes. That's in-the-door to done-drying. Superb! I couldn't recommend them higher. read more

I have been here twice. They were able to fit me in right before Thanksgiving. I came in to get a fill with gel and reshape my nails to almond. My sister and her friend went in to get gel and pedicures. The fill was pretty good and the shape of the nails was good. It was performed by the daughter's fiance or husband. I do not recollect his name. Issues: (1) He made the nails too thin (five of them broke within a week with the tips cracking off because they were too thin). (2) The gel was not done properly. His cohort recommended that he do one nail at a time because the color I choose clops into the sides or is distributed unevenly on the nails if not dried immediately. He decided not to do this. One of the nails chipped within two days. I went back to get it fixed a few days later. Instead of removing the paint from the whole nail, they just filed it down and painted over it. Needless to say, this was insufficient and it chipped the next day. They did not charge me for the first repair. I did not go back after it chipped again. Pedicures My sister and her friend got pedicures at the same time and they were wonderful. They said they were the best massages ever. The pedicures were performed my the owner's husband and another young man. When I went back to get my nail fixed, I got a pedicure as well. It was performed by the daughter who looked like she might be a teenager. It was really bad. She didn't perform all of the things very well. Although, the finished paint job did look nice. The other aspects of the pedicure were not good. read more

I highly recommend this place, absolutely a gem mine. You will not regret it. Very talkative people, good conversations, and good vibes at this place. Definitely will come back here but make sure you make reservations or make an appointment, because this place is busy. If you want a good atmosphere, come here for an amazing mani/pedi. read more

I love going here. Lili dies my nails in pink and whit. They last and stay shiny fur three weeks. Everyone is super nice and you instantly feel like family. I highly recommend this nail salon. read more

I went in with 7 friends. Lily said we could bring our own wine, and we did. We had a blast. The entire staff is young, energetic and fun. We all got the works pedicure. Very good service, fair price, great atmosphere. read more

So the reason I feel bad giving this place one star because the rest of the staff did a good job with my nails but the owner is sooo horrible. She is mean to her staff and to the people who walk in. She literally yelled at a customer who was trying to tip because the customer didn't explain it right. Such a hostile environment. I feel really bad for those who work here. read more

Here on extended vacation, my nails were in desperate need. I found Lily's and now wish it was Atlanta. Lily did a GREAT job on my fill-in! She knows her trade....gave me some pointers I've never known. Also enjoyed laughing with her...she's a hoot. Plus had fun chatting with her adorable Granddaughter. read more

It was a nice environment with nice techs working. No selection when it comes to which pedi. It was the most basic pedi I have ever had. It was hard to schedule a time too. Hubby and I were trying to have a relaxing time together and after picking the scrub, I wasn't prepared to have the leg massage with it. A bit rough. Otherwise, good color choices and convent location to the hotel. read more

Lily did a wonderful job on my nails! She was very friendly, kind and professionalHighly recommend this service.

This is my favorite nail salon in St. Augustine. Anthony gives a great mani/pedi. The salon is clean and bright, the service is quick and efficient, and the price is right. read more

Please read all of the negative reviews about the OWNER. It's unfortunate that I have to stop going to a pretty decent place with good prices. The past 2 visits have been rushed, performed in silence practically and today completely ignored. I was told twice by the owner to "just wait" while waiting 15 minutes over for my appointment? Afterwards she didn't even acknowledge or say thank you for waiting. It was so awkward my nail tech didn't even speak to me, ring me up and charged way more than my regular price? It's unfortunate they treat regular customers this way, as we all go to get our nails done for a relaxing, positive experience. Also, the children/grandchildren. of the owner should not be left to run around the salon. I understand they are just kids, but a screaming 2 year old playing his iPad right next to me is not what I go to the nail salon to deal with. I've struggled writing this review but the customer service at this business is terrible. The only reason for 1 star is for the outcome of my nails. read more

Was visiting on vacation and they got me right in without an appointment. Showed them a design I saw on Pinterest and they gladly did it and better than the picture. read more

They were able to squeeze me in as a walk in and have me out in less than an hour (gel manicure and reg.pedicure) as requested to make it to my outing on time! Clean and great customer service! read more

Went to Lily's Nails on recommendation of a local. Needed a french mani and pedi done for a wedding. I made an appointment, arrived a little early and was taken right away. Salon is roomy and very clean. Service was wonderful - my technician took his time and was very detail oriented. My nails came out great! I would make this a regular nail salon if I lived in the area. read more

Found this place on Yelp. Run by a guy from northern Vietnam ("Tim") who came to St. Augustine Beach from Atlanta for a "more laid back" lifestyle. Just got a polish change on my feet. Tim was very meticulous, spent more than half an hour, and used OPI products. My toes look fine, although frankly I don't know how one could screw up a polish change. Was charged all of $8 which made me about fall off my chair. Would be double that in the DC area, at least. Haven't had such an inexpensive nail job since Mexico. Don't know how Tim can stay in business. Rents must be really low in St. Augustine. read more

So all of the men who work here do a GREAT job, just not the woman. She seems rude, is rough, and rushes through your manicure. The manicures and pedicures do seem to last a good 2 weeks from this place which tells you they do a good job, just make sure to ask one of the very nice gentlemen to do your nails! read more

Best pedicure my mom has ever had. Really great manicures as well. Reasonable, on-time, and wonderful service.

I called to make an appt and they took me in within 30 minutes. Very good pedicure and manicure -- loved the sugar scrub that smelled like oranges!!! Made my hands so soft just in time to marry my husband. Thanks Lily's! read more

My daughter and I both enjoyed a mani/pedi here today. It's a clean, spacious salon. The staff are welcoming and professional. I've been to a few other nail salons in the area and this one is the best by far. I will definitely be back. read more

I love Lily's! Just had our bachelorette mani/pedis there today and they were wonderful. Have been going there for my nails for about 6 months! Everyone there is wonderful and they do a great job! Wouldn't dream of going anywhere else! read more

Best pedicure ever! The sugar scrub they use makes the skin baby-angel soft. My manicure/pedicure look great and my hands and feet are so smooth. I am incredibly happy with their service and will be back again next I'm in saint Augustine! read more

I went to Lily's while on vacation. My manicure and pedicure were very relaxing with attention to detail. They included a very nice scrub and massage. My nails themselves came out beautifully. I will go back here on my next visit. read more

Joanne is talented,swift and clean shop. a I get a new process/technology called ANC. My nails last and shine. Best is that it is NOT acrylic or gel. The first damages the nail and the latter degrades after 10 days. ANC is the best I've ever had. Wow!! No harsh chemicals, no rough filing, no UV light (yippee), no drying time (super big yippee), no damage to the nail bed (health and safety - get's biggest yip). This is the latest product AND IT IS GREEN!! Gotta love that, too. I have a hard, shiny and longer lasting nail color. To me that is a lot better value for my $$. Lily's at St Augustine Beaches is the place to go!! read more

Sky did a great job on my manicure and another man gave me a nice pedicure. Both gave me a really nice massage and were friendly.

Only open til 7pm, guys. They need to update. I showed up at 6:40 and they told me they were closed so try to get there on the early side.

My sister and I really enjoyed our pedicures. The leg massage felt wonderful with the sugar scrub. We really appreciated the attention to detail, and are feeling pampered. Vi was a delight to chat with and gave me a beautiful pedicure. Great folks! read more

Anthony does a great, high quality pedicure w/ leg massage for a great price! My favorite nail place in St Aug and a great location on the beach read more

I am so thankful for Lily's Nails. They are a well established salon here on the beach. The service is great and they go out of their way to accommodate scheduling. Joanna has been doing my nails since she first began. She has become a very talented technician. And the atmosphere is very relaxing. read more

Moved to the area a little over a year ago and tried several places that were lovely inside but the workmanship was poor. Finally found Lily's and have been coming here for almost a year now. I have gel nails and was tired of nail techs who put on a ton of gel and then drill it off for so long that it hurts. Lily's is no frills. The inside could use a makeover, and most of the staff is a little standoffish. But they use quality products and in my experience do really excellent work. I can usually go three weeks before I need to have my nails redone--and I'm not very gently on my nails at all. Lily is the person I usually go to, but have also had her daughter Joanne and she does an equally good job. read more

Absolutely wonderful nail salon!!! While on vacation I was suffering terribly from a horribly ingrown toenail that would've ruined all of my fun. I called on a Friday morning and they were able to fit me in right away!!! Anthony did a really wonderful job, fixed me right up and the sugar scrub add on for $5 was well worth it!!! Fantastic pedicure for under $30, and everyone was very, very polite!!! Highly recommend!!!! read more

This is a wonderful, relaxing nail salon. My feet had not seen a pedicure for some time, so they were in rough shape Jackie did a fantastic job gently removing the rough skin, and the sugar scrub was so relaxing. I will be recommending Lily Nails to all my friends read more

While vacationing, called and made an appointment for a full set. I usually get acrylic, which have made my nail beds very thin and in bad shape. Tim told me about ANC, which is different from all the others and is less stress and filing on your nail beds. It cost a little more but was well worth it. I am so pleased with my nails and it was so pleasant chatting with Tim while he did them. Very personable group of people working there. Anthony put a new coat of polish on my toes and was friendly and funny as well. Wonderful experience. read more

Lily's Nails - Full set using ANC. - Nail Salons Near Me - St. Augustine Beach, Florida

my family (3 of us) just had manicures & pedicures here today & everyone's price was different. During the pedicure, we were asked to choose between a sugar or mint scrub; but, not informed that it would cost $7. Apparently, they imposed a $2 scraping fee as well. My mother had gel polish removed - and had had them done there 2 weeks prior. Anyway, they charged a $10 soaking fee. None of the prices were disclosed before the service was rendered and the price board is confusing to interpret. We are from NJ and NYC and rather used to higher prices but never would've agreed to these prices at an average salon. People friendly certainly but very poor business skills, u fortunately. My parents rent here and will not return. read more

very pleased with service, fast reliable professional.friendly staff

On vacation and found a great nail spot! Very nice place and easy to find. I thought the owners were warm and freindly. The price was about what I pay at my own nail place back home. I felt very relaxed. I love my nails. read more
