I've tried many nail salons in town and this is by far the cleanest. No worries about getting a pedi here! Very friendly staff and their aquarium is a beautiful site too. Try them out you won't be disappointed. read more

I came in made a last minute apt and they not only where friendly and warm to me but they took good care of me and my sister! I was offered a glass of wine, put in a car they made comfortable for me and did my nails both in under an hour! I even asked for speciality nails considering I was going to Disney! I wish there was a place like this by me! Every time I visit Florida (my sister) I WILL stop in here! read more

Royal Nails and Spa - Just got a black gel polish done. Simple and beautiful. I'm in love with Royal Nails and Spa! - Nail Technicians Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

If you're looking for mediocre yet overpriced service you've come to the right place. I have never in my life had an appointment with a nail salon and had them say they couldn't accommodate our very standard service requests. They rushed through our service so fast that even those of us that got be same color had very different outcomes. The manager screamed across the Salon when we had asked why we were being charged for services we didn't ask for and told us she "doesn't need our tip and doesn't care if we tip". Just so incredibly rude I've never had such a horrible experience especially one that cost so much money. read more

I absolutely loved it! I totally recommend it! Make sure you schedule an appointment soon because it is AMAZING! Probably the best nail salon I have ever been to. She made many recommendations and helped me choose a color. Overall, my experience was amazing! I was out of town and needed to get my nails done, so I decided to go here. I wish we had a nail salon like this back in my hometown! read more

See all

Great find for only being in the area for one night. Clean, professional, great quality of polish and selection. I'll definitely recommend and visit again if in the area. read more

I truly love this salon...Mai is SO GREAT!!! My toes & nails look absolutely AMAZING!!! This salon is the cleanest, nicest & most professional in this town!!! I would not go any other place!!! :) read more

Not the best place for a pedicure. I've been coming here for a while and started noticing that my nails were actually changing shape from lack of cuticle care. They leave your cuticles in worse shape than when you walked in. Not sure if the pedicure gets better if you spend money on a gel pedicure which they try really hard to promote. In addition not the best Customer Service neither. Finally complained to manager and she saw nothing wrong. Had an attitude which made the whole experience even worse. I will not be returning. Found a new place. Went two days later and they said "has it been a while since you had a pedicure?? LOL My point exactly. read more

UPDATED REVIEW: Clean, bright and friendly. Quickly accommodated me as a walk in. Best French manicure I have ever received! However, they are the first salon that I have been to that charges extra for gel polish removal! Gel manicure with a regular polish pedicure was $75! $15 more than I have paid at salons within 20 miles of this shop. read more

Friendly staff, accommodating. Went with my 80 yr. old mother. Mai took great care of her & did a wonderful job. Place was clean and well decorated. Music was calming. read more

I received the best pedicure EVER here. The place is So clean and modern. I would highly recommwnd. Ask for Mai, amazing.

Very unhappy with services here. I was told on the phone that they do powder dip nails, however, ONLY base coat was dipped. My cuticles on my tors we're cut too far and bled a little. The lady never said a word but painted over it. THANK GOD it never got infected!! read more

Highly recommend Nancy! I have been searching for a new local salon and haven't been able to find a place to fit my picky request. The salon is clean, efficient, and has a great selection of colors. I am super picky when it comes to my toes and nails. I let Nancy know how I like my cuticles and polish and she had no problem doing as I asked; I was so happy!! She was so kind and we had a lovely conversation while she did my mani and pedi. She is my new nail tech for sure and I can't recommend her enough! Thank you Nancy for giving me exactly what I was looking for! read more

Excellent mani/pedi. The staff were friendly and the facility was clean. This is one of the nicest nails salons I have visited.

Love Royal Nails. I have gone a few times and my experience has been wonderful. I always get compliments on my nails. I highly recommend them. The nail technicians are lovely...lots of fun. I suggest making appointment they so busy because they are so good. read more

Best mani pedi I've ever had. I got gel polish on my hands and she was so attentive to details and knowledgable about tips to keeping them lasting longer. She removed my previous gel polish the correct way and even did 3 color coats and 2 top coats. The uv light is built right into the desk, one for each hand, which kept the desk tidy and comfortable. The salon has lots of real cnd shellac colors to choose from as well as some others, and opi polish. Gel polish $19, pedicure $24. Overall I was unsure coming in because of the building exterior and parking, but SO glad I did! Really clean, new, relaxing atmosphere and they don't try to talk to you if you're just trying to relax. I made an appointment in the morning and they immediately sat me when I came in around 2. Definitely making this my new default salon in town and recommending it to my friends! (: read more

Faboosh. So great, I love coming here, they are attentive, tidy, and my nails always look fresh. Very happy with my recent trip and love coming here when I can get it. Must make an appointment as they are VERY busy. read more

One of the best pedicures I have had in St. Augustine. I normally go every two weeks and have tried most if not all the salons here. Very clean, and they have every OPI color there is!!!! I also had my nails filled and could not be more pleased! They look perfect! This is a family owned business and everyone was very friendly and professional. Next time I will try the lash service they offer...excited about that one! read more

Just moved into the city from Atlanta and visited several places but I am happy to have found this little jewel. I will be back whenever I need services. I am picky so let's cover the basics. 1. Clean & smells clean. 2. New and high end equipment. 3. Multiple services offered. 4. Moderately priced. 5. Very Nice Staff. 6. Atmosphere-Nice music, big fish aquarium with exotic fish. 7. Bottled water fountain & Clean restrooms 8. Not in a strip mall so you actually feel like you are in nail spa. 9. Open on Sundays (yay for the working moms). 10. My nails looks great and I left happy. Once the word gets out, you will need an appointment but this is the best place in town-hands down. Thanks, read more

Excellent and friendly service. Manicure and pedicure were done perfectly. Highly recommend!

I was in town on our boat and had limited time. They were able to accommodate me in my time frame. I had two nails tear below the quick and it was painful. Thomas was able to repair the tears by using a "dip" and you would never know there was damage! My nails are now strong, look great and the pain is gone! I highly recommend this delightful place. The staff was very helpful even though they were busy! read more

Great pedicures with a lengthy leg massage. Great attention to detail and not rushed like other places I've been too. Would definitely recommend!! read more

I went in for a pedicure, having arrived here from New York and in desperate need of a pedi. I was impressed with the quality of customer care and attention to detail for myself and others that I observed. Even as walkins came in and were not turned away, none of the staff appeared to rush through their respective customers. So I decided to ask for a manicure. They were able to fit me in - and I received the same attention and care. I highly recommend Royal Nailes and Spa. read more

This experience was a disaster. I went in to get a full set of acrylic nails done on the 8th. I showed the nail tech a picture of the shape and length that I wanted. He filed them down way too short and the shape was wrong. I asked him to cut my cuticles, the nail tech filed past my cuticles with the dremel until my fingers began to bleed, when I flinched and looked at my hand, he grabbed my hand and saw the blood, he squeezed my finger and said "Oh your finger is fine." Also, he charged me extra for cutting my cuticles when that should be something every nail tech does. None of the nails looked the same, they were not filled in precisely, and the nail polish job was a mess. The lady sitting next to him (another nail tech) told me to come back in/call if I didn't like them afterwords or if I had any issues. When I left the salon I didn't think anything of it until I payed close attention to my nails, they were terrible. So I went back in the next day, I was discreet about the situation because I was being mindful and respectful of the business, I didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable or scare anyone off by saying I hated my nails. A different lady began to criticize and blame me for not liking my nails. I was being polite and explaining the situation but the nail tech continuously cut me off and wouldn't let me speak. She claimed that one of the nail techs sitting next to him the day before, said that I loved my nails which makes sense because she's me and knows how I feel, right? Then the nail tech that did my nails came over, made a rude comment and walked away. I kept my mouth shut, and the nail tech kept going on and on about how this was the only time they'd ever fix my nails. That's okay, I'll never be going back. The guy that was re-doing my nails was really nice, but again the nails were utterly disappointing. They curved upwards and the nails were not a consistent shape. I didn't say anything because I just wanted to leave. They charged me 70 dollars all together, I wasted my time and money. Super disappointed, would not recommend. read more

They are always very friendly and get me in on time. I haven't found a nail salon I like any better than here! My nails look great every time! read more

To bad the person that answer the phone has no social skills, cero customer service, cero disposition to work with public, she is disrespectful, unprofessional and very hard to deal with. She will kill this business eventually. I feel sorry for the other workers bc she will send the business away, like she did with us. Never going back!!! read more

Nail-fill stayed on for along time which is why I am rating it. At first, because my Pink&white fill took a little longer than normal, I was not going to comment; Cramped parking and very small but...the nail girl did an excellent job!!! Going on 3 weeks now and nails have not lifted. I have tried many salons and the precision here is worth the trip in my opinion. Going back again in a couple of days read more

Exceptionally clean and friendly. Beautiful equipment, get the wax treatment on your hands and feet, devinely moisturizing and healing.

Called to schedule an appointment for my bridal party and was rude because I was making an appointment in advance and told me there's not enough people to take care of us and was really rude about it. Finding somewhere else to go read more

Extremely disappointed. I have been a loyal customer for a while now even though certain things seemed questionable. They VERY MISLEADING when it comes to pricing. They charge extra to trim cuticles during a manicure!! Customer service is also horrible. They officially lost my business when I accidentally dropped a polish bottle while choosing a color and after apologizing a ton (and obviously being pretty embarrassed!), they insisted I pay $15 to replace what was probably an old polish thinned out with acetone. Instead of understanding it was an accident, they displayed HORRIBLE customer service. I'll be driving past this place to go someplace else in the future and so should you!!! read more

Great first time experience at Royal nails. It was very clean, the staff was friendly and it came with a free glass of wine! I was very impressed with the staff and thought that they did an excellent job. The only thing I would tell someone wanting to come here is to make an appointment. They don't really take walk ins and we had a couple of tries before we were able to get in but I'm glad we did! :) The prices were extremely reasonable as well! read more

I went to st Augustine first time ever for a friends wedding and wanted to get my feet done. I was a walk in and they seemed booked all day but who I believe was the owner gave me a pedicure and it was great! I read my book and relaxed for once. Afterwards my husband and I went to the beach and now back in Georgia my nails are intact. read more

Read the reviews online for this salon and decided to go, well for my surprise they were practically empty only 2 customers and they couldn't fit me in to do a pedicure & gel refill, and it was 10:00 am, then the guy tells me the prices, he wanted to charged me for color, I'm not from here but where I go I get to do gel refill and includes the color not extra, he looks like he didn't wanted to do my nails at all. Very disappointed read more

I got a gel manicure and I'm not happy. For the expensive price I paid, I would expect a loooot more. No cuticle care, massage, or anything! The polish was put on haphazardly. They didn't even bother to clean the sides!!! I can't believe I paid money for this. I'm not happy read more

This is my best new find. I am posting this because in the past so many of the Asian shops got bad press for whatever reason. For years I went to upscale salons for my mani/pedis. Well Royal Nails blows away any salon out there. It is clean, professional, friendly and a nice comfortable feel. I use Tina, but have used other staff when she isn't available and they are all very good. Give this place a try it will not disappoint. read more

What a great place! You might not guess from the outside but it's a little gem. Super friendly service, genuinely interested in creating happy customers, clean and very reasonably priced. I will be back! read more

This is the best place in town to get your nails done. I've tried many places around here and none compare. It's very clean and the nail techs are fast but accurate, which is a perfect combination. I made an appointment because it was for a Saturday but it really wasn't necessary. The staff was lovely. I had a gel polish manicure and it was very high quality. The first week I had it I was on vacation so my nails didn't really see a lot of action. However, once we got back home I was back to my usual routine which is pretty hard on my nails. The polish was still looking great 5 weeks later. A couple of my nails had tiny chips but it was only noticeable to me and the chips occurred around week 5. I'm a mom who is constantly scrubbing something and always have my hands in hot water. The polish has stood up to everything. I had to remove the polish not because it wasn't lasting, but because my nails had grown longer than I like and were getting in my way. The manicurist did a really great job and my nails looked perfect. I basically told her what I was thinking and she took care of the rest and did amazing. It was hard for me to remove the polish because my nails still looked beautiful, but I had to. I will only get my nails done here. read more

My fav nail salon in St. Augustine and I've been to all! Fabulous family business. Your return after a year is like a Phoenix arising from the ashes it was. Congrats! I have to respond to Tara's 12/28 review and * rating though....this is a total and complete fabrication of what occurred and she should retract!! The nerve to post a LIE. I just so happened to be at the salon that day to get my pre-NYE pedicure. This person walked into the salon while holding her large cell phone in her hand and talking hands-free the entire time. First of all it is very rude to be using your cell phone while at a salon as it is a time for rest and relaxation for some of us. Anyway, while talking on the phone, and holding her cell phone in one hand, she proceeded to examine the nail polishes in the wall display. I was standing next to her trying to find my color. After picking up about the fifth color, while still on the phone, she managed to drop the bottle onto the brand-new tile floor. Certainly accidents happen yet this was not the case! At any rate she never once apologized... She proceeded to walk out the front door come back in and complain about how her expensive flip-flops were ruined. Never offered to help clean up the huge mess she made because it appeared to be a brand-new bottle of nail polish. Never asked it I was ok...I get that she was embarrassed, but she was rude. She actually had the audacity to tell her would be nail tech that if they would not charge her for the bottle, then she would stay for her nail appointment. Needless to say there is a sign on each side of the nail polish rack warning of the inconvenience fee charge. So, she left after canceling her appointment and paying the fee for the bottle that she broke. The staff had to get down on their hands and knees and clean the mess that she tracked all across the floor with her expensive flip-flops. This process took close to 30 minutes of their time, but luckily the salon was fairly quiet so they did not have to inconvenience other clients like myself while they tended to the mess she created. That folks is the true story of a completely rude and selfish individual who has no respect for others especially small business owners. But, it does not end there... She called the salon shortly after leaving to berate and belittle them for their business decision and tried to school them on how to run a business so I am actually not surprised that she went on this website and gave a bad review either. She seems to be a terrible person filled with vengeance! Frankly I was embarrassed at how disrespectful and rude she was to this salon and staff. Never once did she offer a simple apology! Goodbye and good riddance from a decent client and human being. read more

Wow. I never write bad reviews as I feel like everyone can have a bad day but I had to. Monday my friend and I made an apt for Dipping Nails and pedicures. Yes Dipping Powder. To start, they used dipping powder but half way through she got up grabbed the gel bottle color and started painting my nails. I questioned before she even started painting what she was doing as this was NOT dipping. They claimed it was and was just as strong. Well whatever she had already done the powder clear base twice so what was i to say no thanks and walk away? I gave it a chance and left her a tip as that's the right thing to do. Meanwhile, there are slight brush marks and bubbles on my nails hence why i wanted REAL dipping powder. The tips of my nails were not exactly sealed either. Yesterday, I decided whatever not worth the hassle to call. Well this morning, my nail chipped. 36 hours later! If you know real dipping that's a benefit it lasts forever. This dipping is not real dipping it's dipping with gel color on top as they are too cheap to get the dipping powder colors. Well it clearly doesn't work well being i have a chip in my nails on day 2! So i called when they opened this AM to explain and ask for a refund. I'm leaving for out of town, i do NOT have time to go back before i leave as we all know the process of taking off gel alone takes forever then to redo them all. Yes, zero time for me! The "manager" who claimed he was the owner was incredibly rude and said i have to come back in to have them fix. No refunds. That's their "policy". What part do you not get I'm leaving town for a wedding and have no time to do that? I'll have to go and get them done in Georgia when i get there i guess. The so called owner acted like this was my fault and said why didn't i come in yesterday? Seriously? like i said yesterday i decided screw it and live with it ( back to my everyone had a bad day live with it) well, The chip happened today and that's when i decided for $40 that's absurd. I am disappointed with the way they acted towards me and would not want anyone to go through this experience i did. Oh did i mention i had my toes done there too and the girl didn't put the dividers in and they smeared because my toes overlap. This was done before nails and she had to fix my big toe while i was getting my nails done. I didn't think to look st my toes before i left. That's just the icing on the cake. I'll be driving all the way to Jacksonville to my original place moving forward and i suggest you all stay clear of this place! I'm actually shocked by all of the great reviews. read more
