    A friend of mine recommended this place for me since she has been going there for 25 years. I went to her lady, Vicky and Vicky was wonderful. I felt comfortable in the space, it didn't feel cramped while there was people in there but super spacious place. Vicky was very pleasant and I enjoyed her. The place is face mask optional and they do serve wine too which I like that as well. I declined to have a glass this time but will do next time. I'm very basic when it comes to nails(short, square and nude colors only) so she definitely did what I asked and I love my nails. I will be going back as I already made my next appt with her.

    My mom and I have been coming here since 2002! Ray is such a talented artist and Vicki does the fastest full set I've ever gotten! Great product, service and people! I recommend Grand Nails to everyone who complements me on my nails

    Terrible texture from a rushed job (is it rushed if it took an hour and a half??) look at the thumb! And one of 3 injured nail beds

    I came last night to fix a dip manicure and requested not to see the technician I saw the prior visit (she made my nails way too thin and there was a giant bubble in my pinky and her tool malfunctioned TWICE and broke any length my thumb nail had started with...) I wanted to see Vickie but she's usually busy with appointments, which is fine, she told me Kim would take great care of me....at 6:11pm I asked if I should come back as I needed to be at a game I was playing in at 7:15 and had already been here 40 mins. She assured me no. I left at 7 and was of course late, which would've been fine had it not been the worst experience I've ever had. 3 nail beds were bleeding and even more stinging. She attempted to stop the bleeding and it hurt even more. You can see the scabs on my THREE nails, there's what looks like DIRT that dried in my nails that clearly weren't dry enough before I left After last night I don't want to even get my nails done ever again, it was that bad. It's unfortunate my review can't be better because the establishment is very nice and I have had good service done before, but most of those technicians are no longer employed here.

    This the most unprofessional establishment that I've ever been to! They have sign on the door that says that they close at 7 pm! I pulled up at 6:24! I get it! Everyone wants to go home but turning away a customer 40 mins before you close is ridiculous! To add insult to injury this would have been my 3rd time going! And I tip 40%! I told the lady who I talked to to change the sign on the door! If you want to drop serving custermers at 6 or 6:20 put that as your business hours! I've been in customer service for 10 years! This is so unprofessional!

    I was a regular here but the quality is going down. Got my gel done and paint started chipping the third day. When I went back to show them, they did not offer to fix it instead talk to each other in foreign language making me feel super awkward. So I decided to pay them to fix their bad job! Overall, bad experience. Won't be going there again. P.S picture from 6th day. You might not be able to see cracks on third & fourth finger nail but they were there. I have never seen gel crack like that before.

    I came here with my fiancé to get a pedicure. The nail techs were nice, and we didn't have to wait long, despite being a walk-in. Beware of the chemical fumes in the place. They are loud!!!!! the owners usually have the doors open, or an air purifier on. I enjoyed my pedicure, and was especially pleased with the hot towel treatment. One tech even took what looked like a cheese grater to the crunchy looking calluses on my fiancé's feet. Yes! I know there are cheaper pedicures to be had in Gainesville, but the folks at grand nails do a pretty good job.

    If you're reading this review, chances are you're contemplating getting a Brazilian wax. Let's be…read morereal: yes, they hurt. There's no avoiding it. But honestly, it's something I feel like people should try at least once. Yeah it hurts, but the result is so nice afterward plus you don't have to do any maintenance down there if you plan on going swimming or to the beach. I've gotten Brazilians at this location and one in Jacksonville and like the efficiency of Brazil's Waxing Center. At this location, Karen was the technician who did mine. She was super funny and personable and was great at distracting me. For pain tolerance reference, I've gotten my underarms waxed for several years and only recently started getting Brazilians. They hurt the most for the first 3 waxes, but as the hair gets thinner they hurt less and less. Honestly, the first time was the most painful and then after it was totally doable! A few tips for first time waxers: do NOT go work out right after your Brazilian or go swimming/do anything that could clog your pores for AT LEAST 24-48 hours after. If you ignore this recommendation from the technician, I almost guarantee you will get ingrown hairs. No one wants that. I actually really like the exfoliate and ingrown hair serum that they sell there, but I don't think the soap is worth the money. Bottom line: just try it!!

    Fantastic appointment with Nicole. She was so friendly and very knowledgeable. Great personality…read moreshe did a very thorough job. It's always a little awkward getting a wax, and Nicole helped keep the whole experience very professional and fun

Booking online is easy for two people with a variety of service options. Any time there were updates or changes, their front staff problem-solved effectively and always do their best to accommodate. Your lavish experience begins at checkout with a hot, scented towel. Next, you are brought to a delightful, gender separated locker room. The lockers are stocked with a towel, shoes (although I always bring my own slippers), and a silky robe to change into. There is a shower and sauna along with mirrors and vanity to prep yourself for post-relaxation adventures. Spa Royale's relaxation room is expansive. Unwinding officially starts for me when I get to put my feet up in one of their loungers with a hot cup of tea, mixed snacks, and/or flavored water (changes weekly). Their facials are heavenly and their massages are legendary! While the Grand Indulgence is luxurious, I would actually recommend the Himalayan Salt or Deep Tissue. The Grand indulgence and 90-minute facial are similar with the them massaging your arms and feet with body butter followed by warming mitts. The Grand Indulgence also adds an invigorating scalp massage complete with warm oil (Note: your hair has never felt so soft and vivacious... but you may not want to go to a 5-star restaurant dinner after). All their therapists are experts in their craft- a special shoutout goes to David! What I especially appreciate is their privacy and professionalism. They have a couple of dual rooms- which we usually pick. Great for mom/daughters or couples. You will feel comfortable the whole time! Bonus note: a new tradition for us is have lunch at the Cafe first. If you go, be sure to have the chicken quesadilla!! The coffees and smoothies are fabulous too.

    This is a review for SHEENA. This salon has many independent stylists and you should get reviews…read morefor each because the salon itself has very little control over the experience. I researched salons to instal hand-tied extensions for 5 months before finding Sheena. I wanted someone knowledgeable in technique and multiple brands, reasonably priced, and flexible with my schedule. In my experience, this combination is * v e r y * hard to find. She promptly booked me for a consultation and immediately made me feel at ease by asking a ton of questions about my lifestyle, what look I was going for, and my maintenance expectation. When I say she asked me detailed questions about everything, I mean everything. It was the only consultation where I left and I felt like the stylist and I were on the exact same page. We booked my install for 3 weeks later and she ordered my hair when I said I was ready to work with her. On install day, she got to the salon before it technically opened and we were able to talk and work in peace without the hustle of a normal hair salon. She worked efficiently and swiftly to always keep the process moving. Even when my color was developing, she was arranging the extensions perfectly for the most effortless install. All in all, I was in the chair for 5 hours and left with the most STUNNING hair. Truly, I got the hair of my dreams. Best yet? There was a small problem with one of the installs, and she saw me the next day to fix it and recurled my hair free of charge. Couldn't say enough wonderful things about Sheena and I am eager to sit in her chair again.

I'm astonished that they still have her working here working with people , not only a horrible hairstylist but she has horrible customer service skills , and so does staff.

    I've been going to nail first for years and I've never been disappointed. I usually don't ask for…read moreanything complex - solid colors, to keep it simple. today I thought I would try asking for a simple design since one of the nail techs there mentioned that she does designs for people all the time. I was with a different nail tech today, and I showed her the picture - just a simple French tip, sparkly, with a little gold bow painted on the end. I told her I knew my nails were shorter than the picture, and if she thought they were too small to do this design, then don't worry about it and I'll just pick a color. but she said it should be fine. I told her I liked the colors in the picture - sparkly white for the tip, gold for the bow. I kept the picture out on the table for her the whole time so she could see. when she got to the French tip part, she started painting them GOLD instead of the sparkly white. I thought maybe I was just not seeing the vision? maybe she was going to paint over? but nope, just straight gold. which I was resigned to just accept - it wasn't that bad, just a little gaudier than what I wanted. then she gets to the bow. she asks what color. I said "well the picture has it in gold, but since you did the French tip part gold, I don't really know what color you think would work. maybe red?" and she said "no, the tips are gold, the bow can be black with gold painted over it." I was so confused as to whether we were even looking at the same picture, but i didnt want to be disrespectful and I know this is her whole job and she knows way more about it than I do, so I didn't want to correct her. she painted the bow on HUGE, covering the whole nail, in solid black. then she painted over it in red. then in gold. then in silver?? and I just did not know what to say or do. I paid $70 for these. I know im such a pushover at this point but im just so disappointed. I don't come and do this often because its pricey and this looks absolutely nothing like the picture. Im not seeing a place to add a picture for the review as im typing this, but if I can find a way to do it I will. I think now I know that nail first is not the place to go if you have a specific design you like even if it's simple, or if you want to have more of a say in what your nails look like. If you want to pick a color and let the nail tech take the reins, this is the place to go.
