We've visited Ruby Nails multiple times over the years, but after another enjoyable experience, it felt like time to finally leave a review. This visit was a summer Monday morning outing with my sister-in-law, daughter, husband, and me. We stopped in without an appointment and were seated in less than five minutes. We've also visited on busier Saturdays with appointments and have had good experiences then as well. While our feet soaked, we were offered water, wine, or soda. It's a small touch, but one that always makes the experience feel a little more welcoming and relaxing. All four of us chose the Deluxe Pedicure ($36), which is only $6 more than the Classic ($30). The Deluxe includes a drink, an exfoliating scrub, lotion, and hot towel wrap. They also offer additional upgraded pedicures with extras like hot stones, but the Deluxe feels like a great value and is usually our choice. My technician was attentive and professional. I especially appreciated that he asked permission before using the callus remover rather than just assuming. He was friendly without being overly chatty, which was perfect because part of the reason for this outing was spending time catching up with family. The salon appeared clean and well maintained. They use disposable liners in the pedicure tubs, and overall it felt cleaner than many nail salons we've visited. One fun detail from the day: my husband picked his polish color first, and I ended up liking it enough to choose the same one. I wasn't expecting to leave with matching toes, but here we are! The only minor issue was that my polish application wasn't quite as smooth as I would have liked. It isn't noticeable unless I'm looking closely, but it did seem a bit thicker than ideal. The polish on the other members of our group looked perfectly smooth, so it may have simply been an isolated occurrence and I think the issue was the polish and not the nail tech. For three Deluxe pedicures, our total was $108 before tip. We never felt rushed, the services matched what was advertised on the menu, and we left feeling relaxed and refreshed. Consistently good service, short wait times, a clean environment, and a relaxing experience keep us coming back. We'll definitely return. read more

This was my first time and I would highly recommend it. It was busy, which is a good sign. It means people enjoy coming here. I waited just a few minutes before being seated. Everyone was very friendly and nice. The prices are great compared to other salons in the area. They offered me a cold drink, which not all places offer anymore. Overall the quality and customer service were top notch. I will definitely be back read more

Traffic was bad and nail tech was late for appt but couldn't delete my review and out of fairness I gave it 5 since the owner reached out to apologize read more

Such wonderful technical skill when you have I grown toe nail and skin to deal with. Very appreciative of the help so I can be pain free. I am here today Nov 29 and got Coca Cola Red. Such a fun and bright red for the holiday season. The chairs are so great because I can push it forward enough and do not need a pillow behind me to make up for my short legs. Th e massage chair is so great! My tech today was The Anh Chau. He uses a modified piece that your ankle sits in so he doesn't have to bend over so much and it helps me because he can really see what needs to be done on the bottom of one's feet way easier. He did such a great job teaching me about my ingrown and to make sure I get it worked on every visit and not just when it hurts. read more

My fav spot here in St Augustine for my pedicures. They are always very welcoming and friendly. They add a nice touch to their presentation for pedicures just enough to make it feel special and spa like. The ambiance is also relaxing and clean. Summer pedis are in full effect! read more

Best Nail Salon in St Augustine hands down. Very pleasant atmosphere and very clean. Every time I go, I get consistent, quality service. Love this place! Highly recommended! read more

Very nice people great leg massage and fantastic pedicure. They have organic nail polish too and lots of different options.

Very clean and upscale, great location, and super friendly staff. Had an amazing time here. Thank you Ruby Nails!

This place is "A bit of Heaven." Just found it when my regular nail salon on Anastasia Island was booked. My nail technician Tina made my spa hour perfect. Soothing music, a choice of 4 excellent massages for the pedicure. sanitary covers on the bowls, sterilized instruments, over the top massage chairs, and comfy nail salon chairs. We spoke about the country of Vietnam, and the issues her friends and family are having there with Covid 19. It is rough all over. Just a wonderful, rejuvenating experience on US Route 1 in St Augustine near Bridge 312...in the Barnes and Noble Shopping Center. Treat yourself when you feel a bit worn out by it all. read more

If I could give it zero stars I would the staff was nice but did an absolutely horrific job they weren't even all the same length or shape I left the salon crying I didn't even want to pay and still don't know why I did. Wish I went back for a refund. I had to go to a different salon right after to get them fixed and they said the fill was thirty turns out it was $45 for the worst acrylic job I've seen in my life. Don't go here. read more

Overall not a good experience, I picked this place based on the good Yelp reviews and I was completely disappointed. I got a regular pedicure and a gel manicure. The gentlemen who did my nails mismatched my toes and fingers so they do not match. The entire experience was completely rushed, and overall not clean. No paper towels down on top of the manicure station, he used a cuticle clipper he borrowed from the women next to him to clip my cuticles, so it was not sanitized. He also only did two coats for my gel manicure, every other place I've gone to uses 3 coats. I'm exactly one week out from when I got my gel manicure and multiple nails have chipped. I will not be going back. read more

Horrible pedicure Didn't paint all of the mail and the cut job was silly Don't waste your money read more

Really nice! We were a group of 4 and they were able to take us all together! They have great price points to fit everyone's budget. Very relaxing atmosphere. You must choose to come here if you're in the area and need some pampering! read more

Walk-ins definitely welcome. Great pedicure and better price. V was amazing. She has the best hands!

wonderful care. I feel so relaxed after the pedicure and my feet are so soft and beautiful!

Man who did my nails was very rude. I kept asking him to change something and he wouldn't listen/ would barely change how he did them so i had to ask over and over. they turned out uneven and not nice anyway read more

I go to this salon as it is right down the road from where I live. However, every time I go I always regret it. I asked for a manicure and gel Polish. I was not please with the manicure as my cuticles did not look clean and still look cracked. After just 4 days my nails and the Polish are cracking. I have been to this salon a few times to give them chance after chance and thinking maybe a different person will do a better job but it's apparent that their goal is to rush to get to the next customer. I think I've learned my lesson. I will not waste my time nor money going back. read more

Ruby Nails St. Augustine - You can see after 4 days that the Polish and nail is cracked. There's a hair on my pointer nail they left in the Polish. - Nail Salons Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

The first time I came for a pedicure & gel manicure I was very disappointed. The atmosphere was anything but quiet & relaxing. The person doing my pedicure was talking to the staff member next to us the whole time. A neighbor of mine has been going to Ruby regularly and has not had the same experience so I decided to give it one more try. I asked for a female and was given Lin. She was wonderful!! She was very professional.. I had a pedicure & gel manicure & I am very happy with the results. Will definitely book with her again. read more

Full SNS set, within 3 days nail broke and less than 2 weeks 3 broke. Popping off like press ons! Terrible

Worst nail service ever!! Came in to get a gel-refill and truly did not expect TiTi "a nail tech" to be so frustrated when asked to properly shape my nails how I wanted them and she could not. They also did not want to do my toes because they stated I was to complicated. I wish I can give 0 stars; this salon would best suit 60+ or older. None detailed easy service. Never go there if you looking to get high grade nail service! I had to get my nails reshaped out of town and completely done over while on vacation because they was so horrible! read more

While visiting St Augustine, for a family wedding. My lovely aunties and I happened upon Ruby Nails. There were four of us all in dire need of a mani pedi- it was fairly busy for a Thursday afternoon, but we called a few minutes ahead and they were ready and happy to take us. The service at Ruby's was exceptional, we were even offered refreshments while we were pampered. We shared laughs and staff even gave us suggestions in places to eat and visit while in the area. Wonderful experience, I doubt they would disappoint. read more

Gentleman that did my pedicure was friendly kind and did a great job. The lady that did my manicure seems to be angry with me because I didn't want to gel. She was rude and basically manhandled me. During the whole process I felt like I was bothering her and she didn't want me there. I didn't get the gel because I had a budget and I did not want to cheat them on a good tip. So in the end, I still tipped well, but I made sure the gentleman definitely got majority of the tip. If I return, I will be only to get a pedicure with him, and never again with her. read more

These guys were great! Seriously there was nothing wrong with any part if my experience. My pedicure was thorough, gentle and the massage was perfect. I got dip nails and the process was all good. I've only had them on a week but they seem to be holding up well so far. Next time i'm in the area and need nails done I definitely plan to return here. read more

I haven't written a review in months, but I had such a great experience here that I had to share. I was looking for a nail salon closer to my new home and found this cute, clean salon with free wifi, wine, soda, and water for its guests. I started with a manicure with Amy, who was great. She was super detail-oriented and my nails look wonderful. She then let me know that pedicures are 20% off through the end of the month, and I had the time, so I decided to go ahead and do that, too. I could either have 20% off a classic pedicure, or get the deluxe pedicure for the price of the classic, and I went with the latter for some extra TLC (and was not disappointed)! You get to choose your scent for lotion and scrub - I chose citrus - and she really went above and beyond to treat my feet and legs before she even started painting my nails. It was really relaxing. The prices are reasonable, too: I got a classic manicure and a deluxe pedicure for $40 (before tip). I'll definitely be back for future mani/pedi needs! read more
