I got a fill in today. Fill in price is $35. I got one design on each hand. So I knew it would be more than $35. She charged me $65!! My daughter got a long full set and was charged $85. I wanna know how two nails with art on them add $30? read more

Royal Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Clair Shores, Michigan

Usually good service, but owners wife has had a bad day or mad at hubby you'll feel it. She is a great skilled technician, but can be moody. When that happens your fingers will be sore. The other issue is on staff member talking across the room in their language. Very rude to say the least. Do that on your own time, not when I'm trying to relax! read more

I've been coming here for a few years. Kenny & Tiffany (owners) are always very friendly, the salon is always clean, the technicians are professionals and very good at what they do. This is a well-run business and considerable investment is regularly made into making it better. I always leave satisfied with outstanding services, which usually include manicures and pedicures. read more

Just want to start out by saying the pricing here is absolutely ridiculous. They claimed I had to get a gel manicure for a design on my nieces nails then charged an additional $12 for said design. How are you gonna charge $12 for a design on 10 fingers?? Not to mention my manicure chipped immediately after getting my nails done there this evening. They're lucky my niece was with me or I would've made a fuss about them charging me $127. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. read more

This is my favorite nail salon. I get the acrylic nails with shellac and my mom and grandma get just shellac. There is a very wide variety of colors in shellac and in regular polish. I've never been disappointed with their work. They always do a great job. read more

I have been a customer for about 7 yrs. Kenny & Tiffany Own and operate a fantastic salon with fair prices. I have never ever been disappointed with my Mani/Pedi's acrylic, gel, dips, eyebrow waxing, etc. They use quality products and are meticulous with their technique. They offer every color under the sun, too many colors to choose from for someone like me! Their salon is VERY clean with comfortable chairs and friendly smiles. Sometimes a wait during peak times, but they offer appointments and accept walk-ins, always honest about wait times when busy and very accommodating. My only criticism is enduring Fox 2 politics on the big screen for the last 18 mos, would prefer an apolitical channel ( head phones an easy fix)...having said that - HGtv today, a pleasant change. read more

Have been here multiple times and the price seems to go up and up the more i go and i get the same service. Was charged $75 today for work worth maybe $50 very disappointed. Only place that charges so much and i will not be back. read more

Well I've tried various closer to home salons and my nails were not happy! I'm back to the best. early in the week is my go to time, lot less crowded, and nails are back as they should be! it's a bit of a drive but heaven forbid I would drive cross town for Tiffany and Kenny, they knows their business very well!!! read more

I did nails professionally for years. I am extremely particular about my nails. They do a perfect job every time. The salon is clean. They have good Covid protocol in place if that is a concern. If you're looking for conversation or to socialize....not your spot. It's pretty much in and out, which is what I like. read more

3 nails came off in less then a week normally never had problems till this time but the service was bad and the nails wouldn't even last a week waste of 40$ read more

Pretty impressive color selection. Picked a cute color and was told it was too sheer so I couldn't have it :/ so picked another. No liners on pedi. And they use the cheese grater thing ( I asked them not to though) but it's alarming. The lady was also on her phone talking and touching it with her gloves ... so probably never coming back here. The lady also left In the middle of service and started waxing another customers eyes brows. I thought it was rude while I was waiting to finish my pedi. Worst place ever read more

Me and my sister in law have been going here for over 6 months now, and as we do love our nails after we leave, the customer service is terrible! They always speak in another language which Is extremely rude but they also are constantly trying to make you get shellac, if they world actually read their yelp reviews and take them into HIGH CONSIDERATION, they cops turn the review's around and probably get more customers. PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS ROYAL NAIL SALON EMPLOYEES PLEASE read more

I would give this place, no stars if I could. I only went here because my normal place was fully booked today & I broke a nail earlier. So I called royal nails asking if they're still accepting walk-ins, they said, yes, I asked them how much it would be for a fill-in of acrylic with shellac over it for almond nails I was told 45. I drive there & I get seated with the most unfriendly worker there, she doesn't say anything to me and has an attitude & is barely responding to everything I'm asking her- she's just saying yes or no or "mmm". She starts to do my fill and she's not even doing it correctly, - didn't compare nails, didn't check the shape, some nails were rounded almond & others were pointy, & she cut the sides of 6/10 of my fingers to the point where I was bleeding, then towards the end of her shaping my nails she tells me to wash my hands & another lady is going to pain them instead of her. So I get up to wash my hands & she leaves right away. The other lady starts painting my nails & right away she sees my fingers cut up on the sides & bleeding so she puts super glue on top of the cuts, I'm sitting here thinking what in the actual fuck! Then she starts painting my nails with a sheer medium colored pink & starts the first coat then the second I seen it & said "that's still too light, I can see my whole nail under it, can we use a different pink instead to put on that then do another coat of the medium sheer?" & she replied "there's nothing I can do for you" & I didn't even reply bc I'm like shocked at this point. So she continues painting my nails & (with the sheer medium pink color) & I'm seeing she's using a lot of polish on some & barely any on the other nails so they're all different shades of sheer pink so I tell her "can you put an extra coat on these fingers because they are way lighter than the rest" & she breathes in deeply & tells me "I will but I'm not going to take them off for you" & I'm sitting here thinking OK obviously she knows I'm unhappy and I'm not getting the best service and she's actually making it worse instead of trying to make it better... so then at the end, I tell her my thumb has bubbles at the tip of it and she says "no one's going to see that no one is going to look that close at your nails" & I'm thinking this has got to be a fucking joke at this point bc WHAT the hell?? She finally ended up finishing and putting my clear top coat on and then as soon as I put my hands in the les lamp she got up & got her purse & started to walk away from me. I took my hands out of the led lamp when it went off & I was expecting some oil or lotion per every other place I've been to but she was just standing next to me looking at me waiting for me to pay & get up & her husband in front of me says "it's $50" & I replied "$50? You guys told me $45?" & he says "you have long nails, it's $50" & she gets a little loud saying "your nails long, they $50, it's $50!" So I looked at her & just shook my head ok & handed him a $50 & walked out. No thank you, no sorry for the horrible experience, no have a good night, nothing. The first time I've ever NOT tipped someone who provided a service for me & I don't even regret it. (& I'm a server so that just goes to show how horrible it really was for me to NOT tip). Safe to say I will never be coming back to this place again. read more

Every time I try this place again I am disappointed, I try it once in a while because my friend goes there as it is near her house. The staff is absolutely rude ( visibly looking at my friends feet and back to each other and laughing then speaking Vietnamese - clearly talking about her, a paying customer of YEARS). And do not try to correct them, even though you are the one with preferences you are paying for, or they will behave aggressively (filing etc.) and blame any issues on your nails rather than their technique. They also offer "volcano spa" for pedicures which is an absolute joke of an "upgrade" but probably the only way you'll get a passing pedicure- for $15 extra. read more

After coming here for more than 2 years I will NEVER come here again!! Kenny is rude and acts as if his customers are an inconvenience. He asked if my nail polish was regular polish or shellac. I told him it was regular but there was a coat of clear shellac underneath the polish. He argued with me and said they would never do that and if one of his employees did that he would fire them. He was the one that did my nails and put the clear shellac on but insisted it wasn't him and that I must have went to a different nail salon. I was so embarrassed. Then when he was done filling my nails and went to paint them he told me glitter was ugly and the polish I picked out was very ugly..again embarrassed and I will never go here again!! Its to bad since the shop is clean and pretty. They are relatively quick and do a good job but the customer service sucks!! read more

Read reviews about how rude the owner was here, but friend convinced me to give shop a try...Jenny did my manicure & was pretty tough on my natural nails with the file she used..my friend went back recently & was treated poorly..supposed to be a relaxing time..not a place to be mistreated..had planned to go back for a pedicure, but went elsewhere. read more

Can't believe no one has written about this place yet! I used to come here all the time before moving, and my family (two sisters, dad and stepmom) still goes quite often. Everyone here is awesome-- even Kenny, who may act gruff sometimes but is secretly a big sweetie. Their pedicures are a little piece of heaven. They treat you wonderfully, have a great selection of OPI colors, do gorgeous acrylics, and their lotion smells SO YUMMY. It's something fruity and I've never found anything quite like it, much to my disappointment. They also do beautiful, tasteful designs (flowers! but not showy ones!) on request that will make you smile every time you look down. Four stars because they could probably be a bit cheaper, but take that with a grain of salt because I don't have much to compare to except terrible mall salons where you definitely get what you pay for (and you don't pay much :[ ). read more

I've been a customer for many years. It's convenient, I'm right around the corner. As of today, I will not be back. Aside from the owners not being friendly (ever)...it's the damn news station. Kenny always has OAN News on. It's depressing and ridiculous. We come in to relax. Not to listen to angry politicians and sad depressing news. My one hour of relaxation is s ruined by the angry vibe going on in there and I walk out tense instead of relaxed. The girls are fine but no one seems happy or comfortable in there. There a dime a dozen...give your money to someone who appreciates their customers! Ps..no matter who does my nails, I always have to reshape them once I get home. read more

I usually have a good experience here. However, the last time I went, the drying lamp burned my skin after I got a pedicure. I had a severe burn (like a very bad sunburn) on my ankles/shins for 5 days. My legs smelled like burning flesh for days. Sorry if that's gross, but it was very disturbing. I understand that they are UV lights. However, the bulbs should NOT be that strong. People bring their small children here to get their tiny little nails painted. Imagine if you brought your 6 year old daughter to get her first manicure and she ended up with beet red skin? I've been getting my nails done for 13 years, and I have never gotten a burn from the drying bulbs in any other nail salon. They laughed at me when I called to tell them what had happened. I didn't think it was funny. Extremely unprofessional. read more

This salon was supposed to be my new go to for my shellac manicure and pedicure.. but the lady who did my nails did such a poor job and overcharged me ( I swear she made up her own price) I asked for a gel overlay over my natural nails. She cut each of my cuticles and left the gel overlay bumpy and thick.. the powder is still under my nails and when I asked to wash my hands she said no.. I didn't realize till after I left the salon and was very upset. The shellac polish is everywhere and very messy as well. read more

I have been going to Royal Nails for about 4 years. Today is the first time I left feeling I didn't get my monies worth. Technician that did my nails was rushing, pushing and did a lousy polish job. Both mani and pedi. Guarantee she spent not more the 5 mins scrubbing and cleaning my feet! Filing job was rushed and uneven.! I will go back but will request a different technician if I need to. read more

Excellent place!!! Have been going here for years and now my daughter goes here too. Great manicures and pedicures, with reasonable prices. They are very clean and I always see them washing the pedicure bowl, vacuuming and disinfecting tools. (Disregard what the Texas woman says.) Very honest! I left my ring here and they kept it safe until I picked it up!!! read more

I've been going here for the past ten years....and not for the customer service but rather the convenience of it's within walking distance location and cheap prices. I never cared that the employees were cold and unfriendly however I did stop going for awhile because the pedi chairs were always broken. When they put in new chairs I resumed coming here...until today. Once again the pedi chair was broken. Kenny did my nails and I asked for short stilettos. He told me it was an extra $5, which I agreed to. When he filed my nails, they were square and again I requested stilettos. He filed them down a bit more and then continued to comment on how stilettos are difficult. They were still square...couldn't even say they were coffin shape (see pic). At this point I feel I shouldn't have to argue about the difficulty of performing a service I'm paying for. I said "fine" paid and left without painting my nails. I came home and with an emery board and a few minutes of my time, was able to easily achieve the look I desired (see pic). Instead of charging for a service you're unwilling to perform, decline doing it. I would rather you say you can't do it (like the woman next to you did about the ombré nails you said were "out of style") then say you can, charge me for it, complain about doing it and then still not do it! You turned what was supposed to be a relaxing enjoyable experience into a nightmare and I will never be back. read more

This is the worst salon I have ever been too!!! If you want terrible customer service go here. I went there today around 11am I wanted a simple acrylic full set with a heart on a couple nails. They told me they don't do any designs and can only pick one color which on their website almost every picture has a design on it so there false advertising. After I mentioned it to them, they told me to go somewhere else. I change last minute and decided to go with blue. Not even an hour after I left a nail broke so I called and they said i can go get it fixed next week. Now, the same day, another nail broke, I've realized none of my nails are the same length and their curled at the top, I got them a bit long but they are very thin. Any nail tech should know if it's longer nails to make then thicker so they DON'T break. I HATE MY NAILS! Im going to try and get them all taken off for free since all of the problems with them but I doubt it because they've already been very rude in person and on the phone. Usually I tip great and I'm really nice but this place has me very frustrated. read more

Best & safest place to have medi & Pedi's done not to mention the nicest couple whom are the owners were very pleasant & prices are very reasonable. read more

I am a retired cosmetologist who did hair and nails for over 20 years. I thought I would try this place, as my nail person was off for a surgery. Kenny, is very rude, and the person who did my nails was talking in a foreign language, back and forth to Kenny, the whole time. They do not speak English and pretend that they don't understand you, which is difficult because they do not listen to what shape you want your nails, what length, etc. it is not a friendly place, as they advertise. The owner asked me to bring cash the next time I came in, which makes me wonder if they pay taxes. Also, I find it impossible, due to the language barrier, that these girls are licensed and attended school at all. I felt like the whole time I was there, they were talking behind my back in a different language. (so rude)! Also they charged me more than what the price chart said. When I asked that she file my nails in an oval shape, she cut the sides of my nail with clippers instead of filing them. This is a clear sign they didn't attend school. Not returning. read more

Kenny and his wife are the best. Going today. Miss having my nails. Only place i will go

I have been going to Royal Nails for 6 months now to get my gel manicure and occasional pedicure. They have always done an excellent manicure, and the gel lasts usually 3 weeks, sometimes more. I have been to other salons before and their gel manicures NEVER last that long. I have had 3 different girls do my nails and they have always done a good job. My pedicures have both been very nice. They will shave if you want them to, which I do, I like my feet smooth when I leave! They also have a new brand of polish that has matching gel and regular polish, for those that like the mani pedis to match. I like two different colors, but my MIL likes matching, so she's happy. SPOILER ALERT, bring a CASH TIP. You can use your credit card, but it's one of those phone swipers, and not everyone likes to have their card swiped on a strangers phone, so you may want to pay in ALL CASH. The gel mani is $30 and the pedi is $25. One more thing, the salon was updated about 4 months ago. read more

Royal Nails - Gel mani from 6 days ago, still no chips or peeling. - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Clair Shores, Michigan

Very clean place. Acrylics are good for the most part, a couple of my nails are a bit slanted but look good, they've been on for about 14 days now... hope they last a long time! Lots of colors to choose from. reasonable prices (mani/acrylics and pedi for $50) They use a razor on your feet during the pedi. Not sure why people don't like that, but I needed it. :) read more

Excellent service! The ladies are very nice. The shellac has looked fantastic the last two times and lasted two weeks. I've had a hard time finding a good nail salon in SCS and so far this is the best one. I recommend this place for sure. Great prices, just make sure to bring cash for a tip as they don't allow you to add it on the credit card. read more

I had a full set of acrylic gel done and they were horrible. I asked for pink and white and was given a clear base with white painted tips. They were done so poorly that you could see the nail growth by the following day. Very disappointed at the result. Got a new full set two weeks later at a salon that listens to their customers and does quality work. read more

I became a customer last summer and am very pleased that I did. The service and care by the staff is excellent! The quality in their work is very satisfactory. The prices are reasonable and affordable. I would recommend this establishment to anyone. read more

Guess standards in Tx and mi are vastly different. Place was filthy, they barely cleaned the pedicure bowl. In TX the have disposable plastic liners then bleach everything. I watched them Barely rinse out the bowl for each customer. Then when needing to remove my gel polish, I didn't want to soak my fingers in a bowl of acetone. Prefer the cotton ball/aluminum foil removal process. They were put out when I said I didn't want to soak my fingers. Employees kids running all over the place. Very unprofessional. Pedicure was mediocre. Not relaxing. I guess I am spoiled by my girls on TX. if you want something basic and cheap this place is alright. But I'll never go back when I visit Mi. read more

After trying many nail salons in the area, this one has by far given me the best manicure with acrylic dip. I didn't have to wait to get to a chair and the process was quick and precise. My nails are not thick like many other places have done, and they're the perfect shape. My friend had hers done right after me and she was really happy as well. Finally! A place I could consider my go to! read more

I made the switch to Royal Nails a couple of years ago... at first, everything was great. I thought they did a good job, it was clean inside, and the polish was neatly displayed. The live birds can be irritating from time to time and the tv station is dreadful but a good job on my nails is what I was there for. The prices are higher than what I used to pay but I was willing to pay if my nails looked great. My nails were lasting for 2-3 weeks with hardly any chips or anything. I get short length acrylics. I was using regular polish for a long while because it seemed to work just fine (aside from the dry time) and it is WAYYYY cheaper but then switched to shellac because of peer pressure and dry time... My last several visits spread over months have been a huge disappointment. I went in on a Friday recently before going out of town for a full set with shellac, I spent $50 with tip and they all popped off 6 days later (the same thing happened during the summer which was why I waited so long to go back). I will NOT go back again. read more

Best dipping powder manicure I've ever had! Jenny was amazing, I would definitely recommend friends/family to this salon!

I will never be back to this salon. On more than one occasion I have found the owner to be very rude. At first I thought everyone has a bad day I will go back because honestly I am always happy with my nails. I then witnessed him being very rude with another customer but, I still went back. This last time the woman at the station next to me got up and left before getting her nails done because she couldn't believe the way Kenny talked to me. That kind of sealed the deal for me. I will not be back and if you want to be treated with respect and courtesy when you are paying for a service do not go to Royal Nails. I will never be back and I will make sure to tell everyone else that I know not to go there either. read more

I had my nails done today for the first time in 5 years and I'm very pleased! I waited for less than 10 minutes and a manicure cost $15. The atmosphere was wonderful and I think the birds are my favorite characteristic. I'll be returning. read more
