Pros: - owners are nice - 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. read more

Queen Nails - What I asked for - Nail Salons Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

See all

High quality and very reasonable cost! I recommend Queen Nails over the other places here in town hands down! read more

I received the best service from Lucky; pedicure & foot massage with hot towel. Thank you for a relaxing time. See you soon! read more

I went to this place several days ago. I just wanted to see how the service would be under the new management. Big mistake they have posters everywhere that they have half off for new customers and some other discounts. Well I went there and requested just a gel on my hands. I had a manicure days before at another salon but it had gotten messed up so all I needed was gel. I requested gel and they were like: no manicure? I said no manicure. They asked me several times and i said no manicures. He did gel and then charged me $35 for gel. I feel like services like that are not trustworthy. I know i will never return. read more

I was disappointed with my visit. The owner is pleasant, but it took her an hour and a half for a basic mani/pedi - no gel or dip. My big toe smudged by the time I got to the car as the polish was applied very thickly. My fingernails were filed crookedly so I had to file them myself when I got home. The polish on my toenails started chipping and flaking off less than a week after the service. The salon is also a mess and I was concerned enough about sanitation that I'll never go back. read more

A+++++. Flew in from out of town for a wedding and needed a mani and pedi. Queen Nails , without and appointment, walk in with my mother and two sisters. Best service ever! My mom and my sisters were 100% satisfied with their nails, which has never tapped. When in town I will return. read more

Three stars are for affordability, how nice everyone was, and the relaxing nature of the pedicure. However, the polish was just terribly applied. It looks like my little cousin did it. Apologies in advance because toe pics are kinda gross but gotta show receipts. The nail polishes on the wall all look old and crusty, and as the older woman was painting my toes she had to add polish thinner to the bottle- if they buy some new polish, maybe it won't be so difficult to apply and the manicures and pedicures will look like professional jobs. I could have done much better at home and now I have to try to clean it up myself. But everyone is really nice! read more

I just had Gel Fill and Gell manicure yesterday and would highly recommend Queen Nails which I learned is now under new management. It was a relaxing experience and the attention to detail was awesome. It is also in a great location as I was able to pick up bbq right afterwards in the same plaza. read more

Fabulous service! Lucky is always trying to above and beyond for her customers. Great atmosphere. I love seeing everyone and have met some great customers too! read more

beautiful job on my full set of dip acrylics!!! exactly the shape and color I wanted!

I'm highly recommend this place. The lady helped me pick a beautiful color and did amazing job. The best manicure I had in Gainesville. read more

Queen Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Let me start by saying my manicurist was awsome. He is one of the owers and really takes his time to clean and prep the nails properly. I got shellac. He was great and my fingernails look great. His daughter did my friends nails and hers turned out just as great. This would be a 5 star review if it weren't for the new girl who made my pedicure experience pretty painful. She cut my cuticles way too close to my actual skin so that the rest of the time all the products she used burned horribly. I would also add that they are very clean. Unlike other places I've been to (looking at you Tammi nails) the equipment and work stations were clean. And my manicurist washed his hands before starting my nails. I will definitely be returning again just asking that this new girl not do my toes. read more

Queen Nails - Very satisfied with my shellac mani from today - Nail Salons Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I Love Queen nails, went back again today and they never disappoint. Henry did a great job removing my old acrylic nails and giving me a pretty pink gel manicure. He always takes his time to make sure he doesn't damage your nails. Can't wait to go back next week to get a pedicure done. read more

I recently got married and decided to get pink and white acrylics. Four weeks later I remebered why I dislike acrylics; they destroy your nails. I looked through many reviews and found Queen's Nails. Angela was my tech and she did an amazing job! This is how a nail salon should be, customer centered and customer driven. Angela took her time doing my nails and suggested shellac; a much better option than acrylics. She is very knowledgable about her profession and very friendly. If you want your nails done correctly go here! I will definately go back and bring my friends with me. read more

Queen Nails - Light pink shellac with a little glitter; done by Angela. - Nail Salons Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

The ONLY place in Gainesville that I will get my nails done. The place is family owned and operated and they will always take care of you. Since moving to a new location (a few doors down from the old place) they now have fewer spa chairs, because of this it's really important to call for a reservation. I got a shellac manicure and it lasted almost 3 full weeks. read more

Came here for a manicure a few weeks ago, my nails have never looked better! No pain whatsoever and my nail polish stayed on for a very long time. Staff was friendly and very professional. The price was also very reasonable. What more could you ask for? read more

OMG - where do I start? As a licensed cosmetology professional I am very cautious when I go into nail salons because they don't follow state law regarding sanitation and you ask them to do one thing and they do what they want to do. Totally not the case at Queen. Henry took the time to listen to me about how I wanted my nails done, then he repeated it back to me to let me know he understood me and then explained to me how he was going to do it. A+ in my book. It takes him longer to do a set of nails but I prefer quality over quantity! It is worth it! Make an appointment because the regulars keep them book and they really can't take walk ins. read more

I went to Queen nails this weekend based upon the reviews that I have seen on yelp. I had a full set done which cost me $45, and when they were done they looked beautiful. But here I am three days later and four of the nails have already lifted. This is not worth $45. I am sad to say I will not be going back because as far as I'm concerned this is the worst set I have ever had. None have ever lifted as quickly as this set has. read more

Queen Nails - This shows 3 Of the nails. The 4th is on the other hand. - Nail Salons Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I choose this salon based on such high reviews. They all forgot to mention the tools used for pedicures are not sterile. They came from the nail techs container in her bucket. Not wrapped, they were community tools. Wow....i was horrified. I knew right then i would not be retuning. No tool was used to loosen dead skin around the nail or cuticle, which i guess is good seeing how they had been used on other customers. I choose no polish just to get out of the quicker. Terrible job in trimming my nails and filing also. I've been in many salons here in Gainesville and i have to say this is absolutely THE WORST salon and pedicure I've ever had. read more

This was probably the best gel manicure I've ever received. The owner really knows what he is doing, and he'll be sure to tell you all about it. The sweet man does a fantastic job and talks your ear off, so it will be a very long time. But it is definitely worth it. My nails have lasted 3 weeks so far and look amazing. You have to make an appointment or you won't be taken. I'd recommend this place to anyone. I would have preferred to see a sign with the prices somewhere though. read more

Queen Nails - The nails I got done. The gel they use is very expensive and very good. He's careful to make sure he doesn't damage your nails. - Nail Salons Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

This couple does quality work for a great price! Very friendly. They explain what they are doing. I plan on going back.

A young woman learning the ropes gave me a pretty pedicure. I was impressed with her desire to do a perfect job. What I did not like was the male owner (?) criticizing her in a loud voice in front of a room of clients and speaking in a different language with his wife (?) about her. I would like to return and receive the same service from the same woman, but the atmosphere was uncomfortable enough that I'm reconsidering. read more

Queens Nail salon is very clean, sanitary & customer driven. Beautiful nails every time i visit and the waxing is amazing!!! Never breaks my face out leaving no bumps or redness! Nails always look natural and they always do repair work on your nails. They use very high quality products and change/clean everything in between each use. Definitely the only shop i will give my money to!!! read more

Update 4weeks later - my first nail chipped! It's been 4 weeks and my nails look great! I'm very hard on my nails so I know manicures don't last but this one did! I'm definitely going back :) These guys know what they are doing! They are so very meticulous and charge the regular cost for deluxe service. I got a regular pedicure which includes a wax treatment on my feet. I also got a gel Manicure and loved how clean my nails are. They are very sweet couple who give recommendations for colors and also will take their time to explain you what they are doing. It was a nice experience except that I spent 3 hours here. The wife is good and doesn't talk much but the husband talks way too much and can't multitask (talk and do my nails). I had a flight to catch in a few hours and wasn't expecting to spend 3 hours on a mani pedi. Although my nails look fab, I'd like a little less talking so they can focus more on my nails. But they did a superb job. Will definitely be back read more

This review is long overdue. I've been doing my nails here for the past 3-4yrs and i'm never disappointed. Not only are Henry and Nancy great at what they do, they are some of the nicest people I've met since I moved to Gainesville. They really take care of you here. 10/10 read more

I'm kind of torn, this is a good nail salon with a nice family running it. If the husband or wife does your nails, and the wife or daughter does your pedicure, it's usually great. Today, though, I had a pedicure done by a new white girl. First she is not very friendly, doesn't tell you when to move your foot, take it in our out of the water, etc. And her hair was hanging on my feet/legs. She barely cleaned under my toenails, did no shaping, and did absolutely no scraping of the dead skin on my feet. In fact, the bottom of my feet are still rough. Then the polish job was horrible. I could have done better at home myself. If not for the massaging chair it would have been a complete waste of money. Then I got home and realized I've been running other errands with wax still on the side of one foot. I have been loyal to this place but lately my nail fills have been only okay, different lengths, crooked, and polish not completely covering the nail... If I go back it will only be for fills. I'm never taken at my appointment time anymore, last visit I sat for 45 minutes before I was called over to sit on the chair to start my nails. I never make my appt on a day I have to work or have another appt within a couple hours, because I never know how long it will take. Part of that is because the husband takes his time and does the cleaning up of the nails and then the fill well. So there are pluses and minuses but I don't feel like a valued customer anymore, sadly. read more

Best manicure/pedicure I ever received. I was never in pain while they were working on my toes or nails. The family had excellent customer service, funny and very informative. Lived the massage chair while my feet were feeling fabulous. My nails cane out perfect. Best French manicure ever. They took their time to make sure everything was perfect. read more

I went to get a pedicure based on the reviews on Yelp and it's full of crap this s***. I got a pedicure is all I got and I took my husband and he got one too the lady that did my husband's feet was really good at what she does. She was the older lady. The lady that's younger that did my feet did nothing but soak it. And paint my nails. But the older lady that did my husband's feet did a very good job. read more

I loved Nancy! My french manicure looks great and my waxed eyebrows look even better.

Best job! Meticulous work! They take pride in all their work! Owner is very nice and very prideful of his work. We came in without an appointment and they squeezed us in without inconveniencing anyone read more

Queen Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

We have lived in Gainesville for just more than a year, I keep trying different nail salons hoping to find one that is clean and they also do good work. I have finally found such a place. Make an appointment and go relax with this family run business. read more

I stopped in today for a pedicure because I wanted to try a different nail salon. Angela did my pedicure and she was amazing! The salon is clean. Angela was very friendly and she did a great job. I will be back to get shellac on my finger nails. Try to call and make an appointment first! Great place. read more

This was a horrible experience from the start. I wish I could give it a negative star! The store looked as if it was under renovation or not yet open for business which is completely fine if the employees were pleasant. There was one customer and a male and female employee. I told the female employee what I wanted to get done and without responding to me she called the male employee's name. So I walked over to him where he harshly scolded a child before ordering me to sit down. I did and again explained what I wanted to get done. He then asked me if I got the gel on my hands done somewhere else with a nasty attitude. I said yes and again with a nasty attitude he quoted me $30 for a gel removal and just regular polish (without a manicure) plus more for a pedicure. I thought that was pricey so I asked him if the $30 was total and he laughed at me like I was an idiot...I also heard the female employee laughing. So I immediately stood up and said I would go somewhere else. He then said, "what for the price?" in combative manner. My husband and I informed him that he was speaking to me in a disrespectful way and he began arguing with my husband. I honestly don't know what is wrong with these people but save yourselves the disgusting attitude and go somewhere else! It seems this man thinks he can be verbally abusive to not only that poor child as well as his customers. I was able to get everything done somewhere else for guess what?? $30 total for my hands and feet! read more

Best Pedicure I've ever had! Very sweet staff, incredibly clean, careful and truly treated like a queen.

Wonderful place! So happy I went there. Everyone is so nice and my nails look amazing!!!

I usually come to this place for an eyebrow wax/lip wax by Angela. She usually knows exactly how I like my brows and does them to perfection. However, recently she hasn't been in the salon. I came here a few days ago to get just a lip wax, and the older female waxer (not Angela) burned the living crap out of my upper lip. I didn't realize how terribly bad the burn was until I got home and waited a few hours. I have an embarrassing 2 inch RED mark above my lip, the size of a wax strip. This is how I spent my new years. After being a loyal customer, I can assure that I'm never coming here again. I'd rather pay $2 extra somewhere else and not have my skin ripped off and the embarrassment of all my peers and friends seeing where my mustache wax went wrong. read more

Let me start by saying that I could not wait to get out of there! I made an appointment for pedicures for my mom and I and for a fill for my mom, they don't have gel polish!!! A bottle of gel polish they had sitting out was a sample! Needless to say we only got our pedicures, the man could not stop talking! What was supposed to be relaxing was absolutely terrible, I told the woman not to clip my toe nails and she still insisted and she finally stopped asking and listened to me. The man took well over and hour and a half for a regular pedicure because he kept stopping to talk and get up to show us stuff that we really didn't care to see! Not to mention he kept making 'jokes' about taking our clothes off and coming to our house! I will NEVER return and I would NOT recommend this place to anyone! read more

I found Queen Nails soon after moving to Gainesville last year and still consider it one of the best undiscovered places in town. In fact, I'm hesitant to write a review as I don't want anyone else to know how fabulous the family is -- the business is truly a labor of love. You get to meet mom and dad, Nancy and Henry, and daughter, Angela, who is working her way through nursing school, and a loyal band of customers who would never go anywhere else. The shop reminds me of "Cheers," where "everyone knows your name." Their work is incomparable, and they are proud of it. The sign says, "Walk-ins welcome," but I recommend making an appointment. Despite my best efforts, word is getting out ... yes, they are that good. read more

Not only did I receive excellent service, but these are the best of the best quality acrylics I've had. Henry and his wife explained everything to me and shared product information that other salons never do! I can't wait to go back for my fill! read more
