I have gone to Royal Nails for almost 3 years. My experience with my nail tech has been nothing short of incredible. She is super detailed, kind, remembers what I like and what works best for me and is always working on ways to make sure I get the best Dip nails and pedicures. They have the newer massage chairs that can massage your head, neck, hands and arms and your back all at once. Super relaxing! They offer waters, wine and other beverages (pretty sure I have seen Mimosas) while you're being worked on. My experiences have been so good that I was able to convince my hubby to come in for a pedicure with me. He ended up loving it! Now he actually goes from time to time on his own, when our schedules don't line up together. Lisa, the owner, has always been able to work with my ever changing schedule with ease, she smiles and greeted me by name when I walk in. And I truly appreciate that. And while my original nail tech has moved on, I recommend Anthony for artful and intricate nail work, for sure! He's quiet at first but if you talk with him, you will find someone that is REALLY funny and isn't afraid to show it - I honestly think it makes the time fly by when he is in that mode! read more

Very much due for an update. It's been years since I've been at this salon. Since 2019 actually and the treatment has been night and day. In 2019, I had a good experience, but it was packed and I felt like a number. I also would up getting waxed and spent $100+, which had me in a tizzy, and mind you that was before tip. Extremely expensive compared to the prices I was used to in South Florida. Enter 2023. I'm officially a resident of Tallahassee. My nails, as per usual, are falling apart as I'm terrible at maintaining them, always biting them when the anxiety hits. I finally bit the bullet and made an appointment. When I arrived, I was set up with Tran as my manicurist. I went in to get both a gel manicure and a regular pedicure done. It was 2 in the afternoon, and as I've become used to drinking wine at a nail salon, I ordered myself a glass of Chardonnay. Honestly I really needed the down time and Tran just made it all the more enjoyable. I was reminded me of my old nail techs, Laura and Maria, in South Florida who I miss deeply. To me going to the nail salon isn't just about getting my nails done, but it's also a place to talk to other people and get to know them. A place to meet a friend of sorts. The attention I received was fantabulous (that's fantastic and fabulous all rolled into one). The wine was chilled, Tran and I spoke about books, Broadway, and food as she did my nails, and did I mention that my nails look amazing? I felt like a new woman walking out of there. I'll definitely return and request Tran! She does awesome work and she's just so nice! read more

My daughter and I both had full acrylic appointments. Mine were longer and differently shaped compared to the picture I showed. Definitely too thick. My daughter's was down right horrible. She didn't want to complain so I didn't see the issue until after we left. The nails nearly bend the wrong way. I called with no response. Facebook messaged and got a general response, but clearly then was ghosted. read more

Horrible experience! Lady who did my pedicure was very nice but for the price I paid, it was absolutely not worth it. It was subpar and I came for an elevated experience. I added on gel nail polish and they switched her out for another girl who did phenomenal for the last 5 mins of my service. I expressed that I wasn't pleased, the lady at the counter looked me in my face with no remorse, did not care, and still swiped my card for the full amount. I will never return and I will never refer anyone here! I work in the service industry and I would never treat someone like this for this amount of money. read more

Royal Nail Spa - A photo of the exterior so it's clear what establishment I'm referring to! - Nail Salons Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

I've been going here for the past 2 years now being a college student in Tallahassee and never had a problem until today. I always get hard gel and have never been charged more than $70 and I always tip. I get the same thing every time, hard gel, almond shape, and one color nothing different today. But for some reason they decided to try to scam me and made me pay $80 which is a lot for a college student. I fought as much as I could about how I've never gotten charged that much and always come for the same exact thing and they just charged me more for getting almond shape which I have always done. Something is not adding up and I'm pissed. read more

I have been going to Royal Nails for the past 5 years. I have a birthday outing this weekend, so I booked an appointment with Olivia to get a pedicure that cost $75. Olivia was great as always and did an awesome job. However, I was waiting for another person to come and do my French and put a flower on my big toe because Olivia had another client and I told her it was okay and I would wait for the other person to come and assist me. I was told to wait a few minutes but was waiting for over 10 minutes. When I asked how much longer I was told a few more minutes. When I got tired of waiting I started to get my things and put on the shoes (they give you to not mess up your pedicure), that's when I told was it would be an even more wait because the person I needed to do my French and flower was with a client. It is very upsetting because if I knew the person was with a client, I would've waited or let them know I no longer needed the French on my toes. I'm not sure if I will go back because this experience has been unforgettable. read more

They quote you one price then over charge you! They charged me $140 to put PAINT on my 8 and 10 year old nails. No manicure or anything just PAINT! When I told them I was told it'd be $35 each the owner laughed and said my daughter had "messy cuticles " she's a CHILD! They refused to refund me what they over charged! Do not go to them! read more

I'm here visiting family and friends and 2 nails needed to be repair. My sister told me about this nail salon and made an appointment for both of us...Appointments are prefer as a result of this place gets "busy". A bit unsure of this place based on the recent reviews from Yelp... but my experience was great. They offer a range of nail service with great art work.. not sure about the price since I'm only getting 2 nails repaired ($8). read more

Earlier today I went in to have some tips put on. An older gentleman helped me and he absolutely butchered my nails. Almost every single nail is bleeding or rubbed raw. I am seriously concerned about not only a skin infection but also a fungal infection due to the instruments used. He used black dip and then put a gel top coat. It caused uneven texture and nail shape. They looked rushed and lacked attention to detail. I haven't had my nails done in 15 years. I was hoping for a delightful experience and left feeling shaken and worried about my nail health. I was in shock at how awful they turned out. I paid, tipped him (I know I shouldn't have but I'm too nice) and left. Once in the sunlight, I saw how horrendous they looked and it confirmed I needed to have them fixed. I went in and asked for them to be redone. He took me back and within 3 minutes caused yet another bleed. Thankfully, Lynn came to save the day. She spent an hour fixing his mistake. I asked to leave her a tip, because without her I would have left crying and mortified by my nails. I highly recommend Lynn. But I'm still concerned over the health of my nails and what they will look like when I remove the dip and tips. I'm terrified I'll get a skin infection or fungal infection. The tools used were not sanitized and you could tell he them on multiple clients without sanitizing between clients. I regret not walking out when I saw that and when the first bleed happened. I'll never return to this salon. However, I cannot stress enough that Lynn was an incredible nail artist and saved the aesthetic of my nails. I would recommend her to anyone. She actually deserves the initial payment and additional tip I left the salon. read more

My service was wonderful and my nails looked the best they ever have! Out of every salon I have been to, Royal Nail Spa tops them all.

I had a wonderful experience here! I asked one of my friends who always has beautiful, long-lasting nails where to go, and she referred me here. I came on a rainy Saturday and escaped the storm for a few hours of pampering. My nail tech was so friendly and I felt the pricing was fair for the dip polish that I got. (around $100 for a pedicure and SNS powder dip manicure) The space itself is worth mentioning, too. The nail spa is huge and when I was there, it was bustling! Everything was clean and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. They also offer complimentary beverages including mimosas. I opted for water but it's great to know that I can have mimosas and a spa day with a friend here. read more

I love this salon! The whole place is really nice and it's pretty large with lots of chairs and nail techs. I got a acrylic set with gel. My service was $55 before tip and took less than an hour (including removing my old set). Lynn does an amazing job and has such a great attention to detail. This is definitely my new go-to nail spot in town. read more

Royal Nail Spa - Acrylic set with gel - Nail Salons Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

When I go to get my nails done, I go to get in and get out. I don't find the experience "relaxing" so the atmosphere of a salon typically doesn't matter to me. However, Royal Nail is one of the only Nail Salon's in Tallahassee that feels like a REAL salon. It was recently remodeled and to me, it looks great! I have jumped around to multiple salons in this city but was recently recommended Crystal at Royal Nails -- she's amazing! During my last visit at Royal, I scheduled a 4:30 appointment for a gel fill (I had a meeting I needed to be at that began at 6:00)That day, they were unfortunately running very behind and I was not seated at a chair until 5:00. I expressed that in order to make it on time to my meeting, I needed to be out of the salon by 5:45. After asking whether or not this would be possible I was reassured that I would make it to my meeting on time. Because of this request, I had two different nail techs work on me to accommodate me. I was very impressed, my service only took 25 minutes and I am still very satisfied with the outcome. Thank you Royal Nails!!! read more

Terrible fill. I wanted brown tips but the pink acrylic didn't match so had to paint the whole nail. Then looked like this. Took so long and overpriced. $81 for fill (without design) and regular pedicure... I live in San Diego and it's cheaper there... doesn't make sense. read more

I like that they offer wine and drinks. However for 170.00 for full set ombré and a pedicure. The quality was poor. I was also rushed through because they were so busy. Paid for an upgraded pedicure but wasn't in the water 15 minutes before they started applying paint. read more

I had gone here a couple weeks back and got my nails done and I absolutely loved them, but I went back Monday October 24th 2022 to get very simple acrylic, black matte nails and I was very disappointed. The man who did my nails started the acrylic pretty low down. I've already had a nail break due to half the nail was done thick and the other side was super thin (shown in first picture). I drove an hour to get there after hearing a lot of great things about this place, only to end up having to pay $70 while my friend who got her nails done with a design and all only spent $65; and still left disappointed with the end results. I now have to go elsewhere to get it these fixed if possible. read more

Friendships were had, jokes were told, and memories were made. Every technician was engaging, friendly, efficient (except you Kevin, but we still love you), and even laughed at our terrible jokes. Our two hour experience with Kevin was unforgettable, extremely detailed, and the highlight of our time in Tallahassee. If you want extreme detail, witty comedy, and a serious confidence boost be sure to ask for the new hire Kevin (We suggest eating before for this all day experience). Honorable mentions and a special shout-out to Julie, Philip, Peter, and the lady who fixed the green nails. Can I get a Hooyaaah! read more

Royal Nail Spa is the ONLY place that I will trust with my nails (I get sns dip gel nails). They always have a lot of employees on hand so they are very quick with taking walk ins. Since I moved here in September, I have had 5 different people do my nails and they have always come out perfect. Everyone is always kind and helpful with picking colours/shape of nail, etc. read more

Simply put, this place is a 10/10. Amazing color section for regular, gel, and dip polish. Talented techs who can design full sets that are absolutely Instagram worthy. Great selection of pedicures with scented lotions and scrubs. Whatever you do- don't skip the paraffin treatment! They're open Monday-Saturday, I highly recommend coming on a weekday if you can get away from work. Perfect place to bring a friend and get pedicures while drinking a mimosa. In fact, that's what I'm doing while I write this review! Hands down the best nail salon in Tallahassee and the only one I trust. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!! The nail tech was rude and would not listen to me when I told her that what she was doing was not what I wanted. I repeatedly showed her the photo and nothing was done to change the outcome of these terrible nails. Nothing was done to compensate for how poorly they were done and THEY DO NOT GIVE REFUNDS. They proceeded to tell me they did not have the right colors which should have been communicated to me before I paid $70. I had to go somewhere professional and get them fixed. Overall a huge waste of time and money. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I went here with my sorority and we were all up charged and taken advantage of for awful service. I repeatedly asked to fix my nails and was told no, I also asked the nail tech to stop hurting my toes after I was cut serval times around my toe nail bed and was still constantly in pain. Every women in my sorority was charged $50+ over the average amount for a nail appointment. When comparing checks we were all charged differently for the same service. I paid close to $200 for a gel pedicure and a full ombré set. never in my life have I paid this ridiculous amount of money for my nails, especially getting the worst quality ever. When I made a comment about this incident to the manager I was only given $10 back. My toes are still in pain. read more

I've gone to royal nail spa for about a year now. I am a busy college student and I have not been able to find another salon who can flawlessly do a mani pedi in around just an hour. They never let me leave unhappy and the salon is very nice and feels luxurious. The only reason I didn't give it 5/5 because for a young person it is pretty pricey. But overall amazing experience, couldn't recommend it enough. read more

Don't let them fool you to think that a a callus removal is included with your regular pedicure. I was asked if I wanted them removed and I assumed it was included because they didn't tell me it was an additional charge. When it's time to pay they charged me an extra $15 for a 3 minute callus removal. Complete robbery. I notified the manager that I was not told it would be an added expense. Her answer to me was that her technician didn't know English. Not a valid excuse. So I will never go back to this salon again. read more

I love this place! Definitely one of the best Spas in Tallahassee. They offer mimosas and wine (first drink is complimentary), they have many many many different colors to choose from, and all of their employees are great an welcoming.

I had a great experience. The salon is spacious. There are great color choices especially for color matching gel and regular polishes. I got the classic pedicure with sugar scrub. My nail tech paid great attention to detail and I enjoyed the scrub and massage. I also got a gel manicure with Phong and I am satisfied with the results. When he was applying the color he noticed that the polish had air bubbles in it. He gave me the option of using the color with bubbles or picking a different color. I chose another color and appreciated him stopping instead of giving me a lumpy polish job. Previous reviews have indicated that the gel polish lasts two to four weeks and I hope to have the same results. read more

Royal Nail Spa - Gel manicure: Smooth job, polish isn't too thick. Hope to see lasting results. - Nail Salons Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

I saw awesome pictures of great Halloween designed nails in the reviews here and even pricing saying they paid $100 for their toes and nails with design. Unfortunately, the service I received was not nice. I arrived and the lady who was supposed to be there to let me in had her back to the window I stood outside for 5 min then I called cause she was apparently not turning around. Finally inside, The whole experience seemed mechanical like I was moving through a factory line with no personal experience. Told to wash my hands and pointed twords a sink behind crowded setup of nail tech stations. Their was no nail brush to remove dirt from under the nail. I finished washing my hands and was motioned twords the front to another Staion to pick my color. They have a decent selection of gel polish but was hoping to get a design I found on Pinterest similar to what they had in their reviews. But, No such luck was blown off when asked if they could do the design I liked and never given any guidance. So I had the gentleman doing my toes just do plain color no design. This still cost $58 I found out later. The service for my pedicure was mediocre at best no leg massage no clay no sugar scrub. Now comes time for my nails I go to the front and another gentleman is going to do my nails I sat down and he started applying the tips I asked him if they charged extra for longer tips. He replied yes. So I asked how long for how much and he was very dismissive and told me to wait. After he applied them he chose a length and was like this length?? And I was like sure and he said $65 I was like ok. I asked if I got them shorter if they'd be less he said no. I was then informed if I wanted a design the cost would be $5 per nail and that if I wanted regular polish it would only be $58 I was so appalled at this I just opted for No Polish! Then I got told sarcastically how I must be a pro if I can gel polish my own nails. At the end of my service I left with unpolished nails very thin they will probably break. And a bill over $100 Oh and I forgot to mention they BLARE COUNTRY MUSIC! read more

I showed the person doing my manicure the fifth photo to explain what design I wanted. The third and fourth pictures are what I received. I was shocked at the work and too uncomfortable to say anything at the time. The original cost was $45 for gel and an additional $3 per finger with a design. I ended up paying $57 for this... I cried when I got home because I was so frustrated that they thought this was acceptable so I called to see if they could fix it. I went back the following day and a new lady changed the two designs to plain pink because I did not trust them to redo the design. Instead of taking off the original nail polish it was hardly buffed and now the two fingers are really thick with polish. Overall an unpleasant experience. I did not get my money back for the designs and ended up with a regular subpar manicure. Very disappointed being that they had such great ratings. read more

Yeah... I get the occasional pedicure. I like it too! There. I said it. Sweet wife and I declared today to be "Date-Day" (after the school drop-off) and so after a choice breakfast at Oleans (have you been? - you ought to check it out), we motored north to Royal Nail, my wife's go-to for nearly a decade. Great service - professional environment - organized/structured layout. Very friendly and efficient. Drinks were offered and so, a strict "When in Rome" constructionist, I opted for the Mimosa. The over-the-topness of one on a Monday morn' was befitting of the event. Pedicure was solid. I did chuckle a bit when, fully honest, the technician proclaimed "I'm going to do the best I can, but I can't guarantee perfection!" (In her defense, my feet are right off of early man's in the middle-paleolithic era.) I don't have the stones Gordon C., has to exuberantly go on about the experience - but I definitely second his position. So - guys - go get a pedicure here. You'll like it. Hell, what's not to like? p.s., call me petty, but the mimosa included a sparkling (certainly not champagne) that was seriously sweet. I'd suggest the house looks at Freixenet Brut in bulk. Not champagne, but the Spanish cava (to me) is virtually indistinguishable and pennies on the value-dollar! It would make a better Mimosa. Call me peevish if you will. read more

Royal Nail Spa - "We're going to do the best we can, sir. We're NOT miracle workers, though..." - Nail Salons Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Five stars for the gel manicure and peach Bellini. I don't understand why my drink wasn't complimentary and why my gel manicure was rather expensive so one star for that. $45 for a gel manicure is steep. I suppose you're paying for the experience of drinking at the bar while getting your nails done, but I had to pay for my "complimentary" drink so I don't know if that even counts? The service is fantastic as are my nails, but I don't know that I can justify paying more for a gel manicure in Tallahassee than I do in South Florida. I'm sure I'll get a side-eye roll, but it's pretty much expected that things are higher-priced in larger cities. Might go back for a basic pedi and reevaluate this review, but I don't know that my wallet would appreciate that much. We'll see. read more
