My 15-year-old daughter and I went to Solar Nails for a little pampering, and we both got acrylics with French tips--each with different colors--and they turned out so so so good! The attention to detail was amazing. It was a bit on the pricey side ($90 total with tip), but totally worth it for how beautiful our nails look and how clean and professional the salon was. The staff were kind, welcoming, and super patient--even with all our color requests! Posting a few photos so you can see how pretty they turned out. Definitely recommend if you're looking for quality work and a relaxing atmosphere! read more

Solar Nails - Mom fixing her nails with dip - Nail Salons Near Me - Gulf Shores, Alabama

I'm not a Mani/Pedi dude usually but when special occasions arise I do like a nice pedicure. It's especially a good thing because, as of my retirement, I've vowed to only wear flip flops :-) So, my washing machine died with a big heavy load of clothes in it and I had to ball it all up and bring the load to my local laundromat. Since there was going to be a wait I spied this nail salon next door and decided to check it out. As I walked into Solar Nails in Gulf Shores, I was immediately struck by the clean, brightly lit atmosphere. They also have a 100 health department score on the wall, so very clean. It's a charming nail salon with a serene environment, with a friendly and professional staff. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Anns, one of the talented nail technicians, and led to a comfortable massage chair. I couldn't help but notice the attention to detail in every aspect of the salon, from the tidy nail stations to the soothing Christmas music playing in the background. I decided to treat myself to a top shelf pedicure, and Anna ensured my experience was nothing short of exceptional. Her friendly demeanor and professional attitude made me feel at ease, and hee meticulous attention to detail left my nails looking absolutely stunning. The process was gentle and relaxing, with multiple scrubs, gels, lotions, hot rocks, and hot towels and I was thrilled with the final results. Aside from the top-notch service, their organized and attentive demeanor and especially their salon's cleanliness. It was evident that they prioritize customer safety and satisfaction. The tools were thoroughly sanitized, and the entire space was spotless and nicely organized. Bottom line: As my visit came to an end, I couldn't help but feel rejuvenated and eager to return. With its outstanding customer service, skilled nail technicians, and commitment to cleanliness, Solar Nails has earned my highest recommendation. Whether you're a local or a visitor in Gulf Shores, Solar Nails is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a truly indulgent nail salon experience. read more

French mani/pedi: what is not explained that at this establishment unless you upgrade to gel, they will not paint your nail pink with the white tip. I personally do not like gel, but in my years of having mani/pedis I mostly get french and every single one had pink as standard. I got the deluxe pedi which was quite lovely and gentle, and I prefer over a hard uncomfortable scrub, so I appreciated that and their willingness with no issues to make the water less hot. When the pedi was done, I saw the polish was clear and it was then that they explained the clear vs pink with the gel. I then declined to get the mani. My toenails aren't the prettiest- it looked yellow. I went home and put sparkly on it as is shown in this picture- you all may have a hey day with how yellow it looked beforehand. read more

I was a walk-in and immediately waited on. Very clean and friendly staff. Everyone was visiting with each other and the staff. We all cheered when Henry the owner came in just to tease him. Definitely recommend the products, service, and pricing! read more

Came here on a trip to the beach and Ly was AMAZING. She educated me on how to get my nails to grow longer in terms of doing dip, builder gel, acrylics, etc. She found a color in the dip similar to the butter yellow I wanted. When she saw my facial expression that although I liked the color it wasn't exactly what I wanted, she put coats of the exact butter yellow I was looking for!!! Made them to be my new favorite set of nails. She was kind, understanding, and made my experience amazing. I highly recommend if you're local and/or coming from out of town to stop by! Thank you Ly! read more

I went here yesterday after one of my nails came off. Jessie did my nails. She does phenomenal work. I told her what I wanted and she went above and beyond to make them look great.

Solar nails is a small, no-frills nail salon in a strip mall in the same area as Rouse's Market. We had appointments for three pedicures. They were very busy when we arrived. They took us at three different times with the last being about 20 minutes after our appointment time. The technicians and greeter were all nice and joked around with us. They cleaned the station before each pedicure. The pedicures were basic - soak your feet, trim your nails, buff rough edges, lotion, and nail polish. Pretty typical although they seemed to rush through it a bit. Prices are reasonable. read more

I had a wonderful experience here! My nail tech was Jerry, he is very experienced and very kind. He made the experience easy because I trust he would make any set of nails look pretty. He loves his work and does a great job. Every one in the salon one smiley and happy. There was a lot of regulars and customers were on first name bases with the techs. Definitely make an appointment because they are busy! read more

My daughter got 1 full set acrylic with gel $50 & a luxury pedicure $60 & I got a gel manicure $35 & a $60 luxury pedicure. That all equals $205 & then tax at 10% was $20.50 then bill should have been $225.50. How did my bill ended up being $260? Well, I asked and the owner said because with luxury pedicure with gel is extra $15 so that's an extra $30. He says a lot of customers get confused. Well, that's because the price is not listed at all on sign. I wish I had a pic of the sign! If a lot of customers are confused then he should try to improve that but he's benefiting from the confusion. There are 3 options for a pedicure. A regular pedicure, & deluxe, & luxury. But if you add all that together that's still $235 & 10% tax 23.5 would equal $258.50. This is why I don't like going to places I'm unfamiliar with. With my manicure I just wanted gel and she kept saying it won't last long trying to get me to do a different thing. Now, the service that Jerry gave my daughter was top notch. The woman I had kept periodically speaking Vietnamese like she was on the phone via her AirPod because no one was near by us. So, she was one the phone the entire time I had the manicure & possibly the pedicure. One thing I was very appreciative towards was they all sang happy birthday to my daughter which was absolutely wonderful of them. I was happy with most of everything except for the price because it was absolutely ridiculous & the silence of the woman working with me except for her (constant phone call)& periodic Vietnamese she was speaking. It just made for a very uncomfortable service. read more

I was a walk in yesterday afternoon and was taken care of immediately by Anna for removal of old tips, dip polish and pedicure. I just want to say the service was impeccable, the price was fair and everything was very clean and good quality products were used. I would highly recommend this nail shop and Anna! read more

Got a dip with Lee and she did fabulous!! Highly recommend!! Clean and friendly and close by.

Sadly the staff (well most the staff) was really kind and funny! They sadly did the bare minimum for price. They are rushed and messed up my moms nails. Both pedicure and manicure. The manicure for her was redone twice each time with more attitude and nasty remarks. Including her being yelled at "you know nothing" they were unable to understand what she was asking for. A pink and white Acrylic manicure but a more natural pink. As they gave her HOT PINK for the nail bed... I got just gel on my finger tips and less than a week later I have 3 nails left... not only was the pedicure poor but they also cut into my moms skin made her in pain as they did so. She said it the worst pedicure she's ever gotten. sadly for what seems like a good salon and good people it was not. read more

The nails I asked for turned out well but I was overcharged. I asked for dipped nails with extensions which they informed me would be 45 dollars and I checked multiple times. Because I've never had them done before I didn't realize that he was doing something other than dipped because they looked very similar. When he was done the man at the desk said it would be SEVENTY DOLLARS. I said no I was told it would be 45, so he checked with the stylist and informed me that he had done something more expensive but I hadn't asked for it. And I didn't even understand how to say the expensive thing he was saying. My mom wasn't there so I was scared to refuse so I just paid and left but I'm very disappointed that they would do that because I know for a fact I didn't ask for it. read more

I got a pedicure there recently. They really need a more clear menu for pricing. I would have never picked the most expensive one if I had know the foot massage it came with was about 3 seconds of light rubbing and that I wouldn't get the usual pumice exfoliation. There was a little scrubbing but not what you get for less at other places. And you can tell my feet definitely needed a little extra work. My toe polish is okay but it's a little messy, not better that what I can do myself. Which is the only reason to have someone else do it, in my opinion. I wouldn't go back. read more

I was a walk-in but highly recommend an appointment as many locals come here also. This place was the best, great humor, fun techs, and they really seem to have a home like feel with their patrons. Many come here time and time again - but highly recommend an appointment! Great little place on a rainy day! read more

I wanted to like this place but the man in charge was speaking so loudly the entire time it was unnerving, I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible, not relaxing. To the service, my toes look nice but the person was rude, I think she was bothered by her boss's voice as well. Of course this is just one person, one experience, but not returning. read more

Loved this place! Wish it was in my hometown. So kind, took their time, and we left wishing we could be regulars. Fun and calming environment. Glad we came here on our vacation! read more

Spectacular service! Everyone was so nice & pleasant. My pedicure was wonderful & the technician did a very thorough job p

So, when I attended the nail salon I walked in and it was originally a 1 hour wait. I was with my sisters so it was up to them. We waited for 30- 40 minutes in the front of the business and then I was taken to the chair. She did my nails very quickly & not the shape I was requesting. The power went out while I was there for about 5 minutes. With them not being the shape I wanted I pointed that out and she said she wasn't done. They were filed a bit but not as much as i would have liked, and then I was charged $55 for plain white round nails, and i tipped $5 so in total $60. The nails were done very quickly so they were very weak and flimsy and would chip if something touched them the wrong way. The tips started coming off 2 days after I paid $60 to get them done & now not even 1 full week later they were so messed up I ended up removing them. Disappointed to be out $60. Unfortunate. read more

Nicki crushed it!!! I had two horribly broken toe nails, she fixed them with NO problem at all! She matched the color perfect and no one would ever know! While there she gave me a full set and I am a new person! 10/10 recommend! Everyone was so nice and friendly! read more
