second time in for a spa pedicure. Today Vincent did a fantastic job, really enjoyed the foot and leg massage. I get the basic with reg polish for $26 and add callus removal service for $5 I run hot so when I first walked in, AC was off and door closed... but grateful someone turned it on since more clients were walking in and it would have gotten warmer. read more

I love them ! thank you to may i went here because of the yelp reviews, good price will be coming back :) read more

Palm nails is located in a little strip mall. There is a good amount of parking. Does not seem like parking would be an issue. This was the first time to this nail salon. Think I arrived there at just the right time as I got seated right away. A few minutes later, more people came in and had to wait a bit. The staff seemed nice. More on the quiet side. Had some old school music playing in the background which was cool. They had a few spa pedicure seats and manicure stations. This visit was for a pedicure. Got seated in one of the spa massage chairs. They have books of nail polish colors that you can choose from. There was a good selection of colors. Just got the basic pedicure and added on the callus remover. For the callus remover, she scrubbed extra hard. Not enough to hurt, but close to it. I did not inspect the finished product too closely before leaving. But, afterwards, noticed that the polish color was slightly lighter and did not have the shimmer like the polish that was selected. However, that's my fault as she did ask me if the color was OK. Also noticed a spot on one nail and noticeable brush strokes in the nail polish. Not bad enough got me to go back and ask to get it fixed. But, definitely far from perfect. Overall, this place is average. Not bad and not great. But, a quick place to stop by and get the job done. read more

This is definitely not a place to come for a quicky. It took a little over 45mins for a refill. At first my lady was super friendly and nice, then she got a little on the rude side and hurt some of my fingers. At the end though, I must say she did a great job and I was happy with my nails. My friend on the other hand, who was here to get her nails done for her bday ended up not so happy. One of her nails actually broke less than an hour after we left the shop. she wanted her nails all yellow but the ladies kept pressuring her to add little designs. Her yellow nails ended up looking good on color as we left but the design was not the best at all. I mean look at the pictures and judge for yourself. Overall, she went back to get her nails fixed because even the yellow got choppy. We will not be going back because we spent almost $70 bucks here. I believe we deserve better for that price, at least on the attitude. read more

Got a good detailed pedicure with them yesterday. I would recommend checking it out. read more

The gentleman who used to work here is why I went here but he is no longer there so I'm a little sad ): but other than that, the gentleman provided me with the best service! I loved my pedicure!!! I advise everyone to give this place a try to see if it fits you! I'm very picky with how my toes are done! read more

Nails break off very easily i've had to come back three times since i got my nails done and they're still fresh. I got a fresh full set the next day had to come back to get one nail fixed later on that day three more broke that same day ! had to go back to get them fixed the next day, later on that same day another one broke so i went back the next day and got it fixed. this will be my last time coming to this place because it just don't make no sense its like i wasted my money then they wanna charge me every time when it's not my fault they are popping off so easily. i can't even wash up without being cautious of another one popping off . read more

I called them at 9am to ask if I can get a pedicure. I told them anytime was fine but just let me know so I can fit it into my schedule. They said come in at 930 to start. I get there at 925 it's now 10:15 am and not single person is even close to ready to get my pedicure. I have been waiting almost a whole hour.. Such a waste of my time, it's just disrespectful as hell. Learn to run your business better. It's so crazy to me how they don't respect your time. read more

For about 5 years I Used to drive 13 miles to get my manicure from Vivian. She was so detailed and the sweetest person there. Right in the middle of covid I was told Vivian left to the Philippines on vacation. I waited for 3 month but she never came back. Anyone know what really happened to her, Maybe have a phone number or know where to find her. She was the only reason why I drove so far for a manicure. Truly Vivian was the BEST nail tech I've ever had. read more

No social distancing enforced whatsoever. The wait time runs from 20-40 mins . If you call ahead of time the lady will tell you their is no wait time . Location gets very packed , no empty seats . I went for a pedicure & got French tip . The guy who was attending me was really fast . He also hurt me twice as he cut my nail to short and continued to try and cut them until I told him twice to stop . Prices for a pedicure are very decent and affordable . If you request designs or gel it's an additional fee. Only bad thing is it's in a shared parking lot & it's a really small nail salon with no social distancing or temperature checks. read more

Love this place! They care about their customers and make sure they are satisfied. They will make it right. I've seen women complain about the wait - but waiting because there are many customers says this is a place worth waiting. read more

I'll never be back Used to be my go to place not anymore Overpriced There is not enough distance between clients They make u wait for hours When you call they tell you to come knowing they won't be done in 30 min. There are super nice people working there but some of them are rude As AF . I don't like to argue. this last visit left me crying for how rude one of the nail techs was with me. I barely said anything still she wasn't professional and kept treating me as a nuisance trying to finish quickly to snatch another client's money before some else did. She was so greedy and rude. Instead of feeling relaxed and pampered I felt anxious and attacked. I found a better lace on main st and Broadway read more

was in a jam, needed my nails to be did. i did a walk in around 10 am came in for a mani/pedi.... after the mani i cancelled the pedi, paid and left. she used dirty tools on my nails same buffer pad that was obviously old and used before the next day my nail beds were already splintering. i would not recommend this nail salon from what i witnessed it was not a very clean facility they reuse dirty files and buffers on clients and got the nerve to be expensive read more

Okay so this was my first time ever getting my nails done with a professional! Vivian did my manicure and Nina did my pedicure. Let me say I never done my nails and they were both super friendly, professional, and made me feel very good and comfortable. The place is nice and very welcoming. Vivian is a pro and the gel was on point! My hands looks perfect. When I said there was a slight missing spot on the nail's edge she fixed it right away and kindly. Nina is still good when she cleaned my cuticles, when he did a full callus exfoliation I was laughing and yet she did a great job. I also noticed she missed an area on top of a nail so went back and she was so kind and fix it. Obviously my manicure looks way better than my pedicure but hey I don't have perfect feet and nails to begin with. Next time maybe I will get regular color on my pedicure and gel only on hands. I am adding pictures so you see yourself. read more

Horrible horrible service!! Sara the owner always makes you wait than the usual.. she lies and always says there's a 5 minute wait but it's not true you wait at least 45-1 hour. When you call and make an appointment expect to be ignored for a while. Last time I scheduled an appointment and she made me wait 40 minutes and another customer got there right at her appt time and she got her before me. I left very upset with out getting seen and she didn't care! Don't record this nail salon. read more

Very disrespectful of people's time! do not say & tell your customers there is a "10 min wait" and make them wait for over an hour+. i've gotten my nails done for a very long time to know what is quality work. therefore, this wait and bad service is not worth the kind of quality they provide. overall terrible service and terrible quality read more

I have been going to Palm Nails since 2008, 2 owners. People who know me know I think getting my nails done since I was 15 years old. I have been all around the country and some parts of the world and still got my nails done. There and only been to places where they don't pop off. Wiesbaden Germany with Kim and here at palm nails. Granted you do get some techs who hurt you or burn you or who are a little rough but if you ask to go to a gentle Tech they will put you with one or let Sara know. But most do very well and are gentle read more

2 hour wait. No customer service. Some of the ladies here only do pedicures?! Waste of time don't come here

I came in to get a pedicure and left with a my big toe cut underneath the nail. When I proceeded to tell the person doing my pedicure she hurt me when I jolted away from her she started hysterically laughing. read more

I have been to this nail salon for years now. It is a bit expensive but the quality is worth it. I've had my nails on two weeks now and all good. They do drill a bit more but not painful just let they know and they will stop. All positive experiences here. I won't go anywhere else! read more

Don't recommend. The girl I had seemed like she didn't wanna be working and did such a basic job of providing a pedicure (polish removal, small trim and filing). While cutting the cuticle, did it so much so at least on 3 different occasions I had to pull away. Then when I asked her to file my toes so the tops were smooth she complained to her coworker (in her language of course). Even had a customer come back for a broken nail and pointed her out. Very disappointed since pedicures aren't cheap these days. Definitely won't be coming back! Day 2 after pedicure: An infection has started on the toe that she cut too deep! Hoping I'm able to treat it at home! Please be warned! read more

I had my mani & pedi here with Brian. He did a good job. I went another time but he was off so I had a lady do pedi and she proceeded by clipping my nails in an angle without asking. I just had my pedi done again with Brian, he did a great job! Ask for the deluxe with paraffin and scrub. He did exactly what I wanted. I recommend Brian! Make sure to let them know ahead of time if there are any concerns.. read more

The people are rude here. first of all the acrylics were advertised for $35 but they told me it was $40 and then $8 extra for one mail with a heart shape. And then $10 extra for the coffin shape for all the nails. And $8 extra to get three little rhinestones on the mail with a heart shape. So $64 for one set of short coffin nails with one heart shaped nail. Super expensive and considering the reviews they already have I wouldn't want to spend $64 on nails that might be bad read more

I'll start off on a positive note. The gel manicures are great and they have a large variety of colors to choose from. They give you a hand and arm massage and are very precise in their work. Daisy is my go to nail heck. She always does an amazing job for a decent price. I usually get overlay on my natural nails and choose a gel color or take my own covers for her to apply. She is the only nail tech I go to every 2-3 weeks, but sometimes If she's too busy I'll just have the owner take care of my nails for that day. They do manicures, pedicures, waxing, full set acrylics and nail designs. The downside is they don't respect appointments. I've had them skip me numerous times even tho I call hours in advanced to schedule. Your best bet is to just show up and see how long the wait is. Be ready to wait standing up because they're always extremely busy. There's plenty of businesses in the area so you can grab a bite to eat or get some Starbucks coffee so your wait doesn't feel as bad. read more

Just called in, to make my usual appointment that I do every 2 weeks for a gel manicure, and gel pedicure. As the owner Sara informs me that Vanessa will no longer be doing my nails and toes if I don't start tipping her more. I am very disappointed and upset that they told me this because I have been a customer for many years, I've also taken them many clients. What a customer decides to tip is completely up to them, there is no need for the OWNER or NAIL TECHNICIAN to ask for more tip. After many years of being a loyal customer I have decided to go there no longer. This is not the first time I've had problems with this salon, they never respect appointments, and I've seen a lot of other customers get into altercations with them about there service. Very disappointed. read more

Very nice people. Hard working. Does a very good job. Used them for more than 10 years when I lived in San Diego. Decided to stop by to fix my nails while visiting. read more

The owner doesn't have you go in order to get your service done because they NEVER check the paper where you write down your name. Today I came in the owner Sarah was all the way in the back doing a pedicure she looked at me and not one employee asked what I came in for. A lady came 15 minutes after me and Sarah said she was first and had her seated before me. Terrible service. I waited an hour to get crappy work done. I did the deluxe pedicure and the lady (short hair, loud voice & always talking, wears high wedge heel, always walking fast down the hall) that did it was rushing through everything even putting the polish and clear coat. They don't accept credit/debit cards as form of payments anymore! They only accept cash or VENMO. It isn't a business profile Venmo it's a personal one so are they doing that so they don't have to report those earnings on the taxes to the IRS? Kind of fishy... read more

i've been coming here for years and i love it!! Sara and Yen are great. Definitely reccomend coming here!

Although the ladies here are nice, they don't do a thorough job on pedicures, maybe because they are always overflowing with customers as the place is always packed.
