I had a pleasant first experience here! I came at 5:30pm as a walk-in and surprisingly, despite already having a lot of customers, someone was available to help me out right away. I got a dip manicure and am pleased with the results. My nail technician was detail-oriented and cared for my nails well, still fixing little things all the way to the end. I appreciate how my dip does not feel thick. In total she did three layers, but it doesn't look or feel like three layers, which I like because my nails look and feel more natural. The dip manicure costed $40. The price is okay; I've been to another salon in Gainesville that does a good job, too, and is cheaper, but I can't complain too much over Tami's price since I had such a positive first experience. Tami Nails also has a huge selection of dip and gel colors--I was impressed! After flipping back and forth between multiple pages, I chose a light green/pistachio color (043). The color ended up looking lighter on me than on the sample but I actually really like the final result! If you want to get your nails done with friends or family, come to Tami where it's well-staffed. However, if you have a party of two or more, still call to make an appointment, especially if you plan on coming in the late afternoon. My walk-in was quick and my nails look great so I can definitely see myself coming back! read more

Tami Nail Salon - Pedicure! Nice job, pleasant atmosphere. Friendly staff! - Nail Salons Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I went into the salon as a walk in initially planning on only getting a full set with gel polish for my birthday. My nail technician was Toan and I can honestly say it's the best experience I've had at a salon. He took his time but also moved at an experienced pace, made sure to check with me on what I liked and disliked and even encouraged me trying a ballerina tip style to start so I can transition to a stiletto shape next time if desired. (I was between two nail styles.) He not only made my vision come true but also gave me a wonderful experience during a pedicure that I decided on last minute. The attention to detail was impeccable, the vibe was immaculate, reasonable pricing and his sense of humor immediately put me at ease. Can't wait to come back for my next set. I already know who I'm requesting. (: read more

I came to get my nails redone and I never wanna go anywhere else again. The process took awhile, more than it usually does when I get dip powder, but only because my stylist was so meticulous and made sure they looked amazing. I'm so happy with the result! Same with my eyebrows, I got them waxed here and they look amazing. Definitely recommend. read more

My girlfriend highly recommended this nail salon to me. Since moving to Gainesville I have had trouble finding a clean salon with quality nail service. The last salon I went to was so horrible. The person doing my nails was digging his own fingernails into me to scrap off the nail polish he kept accidentally getting on my skin. That last experience quite literally left me scarred. I am so grateful to have tried Tami's nail salon which will me my new nail spot in Gainesville. Melody, my nail girl, was great! I got a gel manicure and a pedicure and was super satisfied with the results. The place seemed to be clean. The only thing I didn't see was her removing the tools from a sealed sanitized bag. I saw her spray some solution on them when she was done so I am hoping there is more to the cleaning process than just that? They did have individual, disposable plastic bags for the pedicure tub which is an absolute must for me. I went on a Saturday and they were pretty busy but they took me in quick. The prices were comparable to most other salons. read more

The only reason I can give this salon 3 stars is because Timothy is GREAT! I give him a 10/5 stars! He listens to what I want and then does it! He's the best acrylic and dip polish nail tech I've ever had, and I've tried a LOT of nail techs in Gainesville. If you're looking for a natural look, he nails it. He is known in the salon for taking his TIME and making your nails beautiful. However, it's too bad he works here, because the owner is always rude. She answers the phone rudely, and I had my nails done by her one time and I will NEVER get them done by her again. When I asked for something, she came back with rude remarks. Lastly, I make an appointment and usually end up waiting for 30 minutes. Not good! I would give this place a 1 star if it wasn't for Timothy!! But of course I must continue going here because of him haha. read more

Very clean place with nice and considerate workers! I showed a picture of what I wanted and they made sure to get as close as possible! I got a gel manicure and pedicure. The pedicure was amazing, and well worth the price. It included a nice massage (that lasted quite a while), a sugar scrub, and hot towels. The employees did not act rushed even though they were busy. I felt like I got my money's worth, and will definitely be back. Thanks again! read more

Tami Nail Salon - Wanted a very natural look, came out perfectly! - Nail Salons Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

If I could give Tami Nails a 3.5 stars I would. Everytime I go here there is always a long wait even if you make an appointment. But it's soooo worth the wait! They do such an amazing job with the dip SNS, they almost look like I'm wearing acrylics. They last on my nails for about a month, and they look so amazing. My only complaint is that one time I went and got dip and the top coat started to have a "cracked glass" look on my nails and I had to go back the same day and they had to change the top coat. Other than that, I think this is the best place to get your nails done in Gainesville read more

While I was getting my manicure, I witnessed a BLATANT case of racism. One of the nail technicians made a black customer pay BEFORE her services, stating that "people like her" had ran out without paying. If this is the case, then they should make everyone pay before their services. I was appalled by this flagrant prejudice. In addition, my nails weren't even well done so take your business elsewhere. read more

Always a great job at Tami's. I've seen a few nail techs here and each have done an excellent job on my nails no matter what I ask for. It's gotten to the point where I just show them a pic of what I want and they deliver great results! read more

This nail salon is amazing! Everyone was super nice and the establishment was very clean! There was no wait time and I was a walk in. I'm very happy with my nails, I'm definitely going back for my pedicures and fill ins! Lastly the location is perfect and it's right next to my publix!! read more

Tami Nail Salon is the best in Gainesville. I got a gel manicure, which looked beautiful from the start, and lasted THREE WEEKS. When I got them replaced they were still in great condition, had just grown out naturally. I would definitely recommend Tami Nail Salon to anyone who is looking for a top-of-the-line manicure in the Gainesville area. read more

Excellent service. I walked in and there was no wait! Hy did my manicure and pedicure. I really enjoyed the hot towels and foot massage during my pedicure. My nail polish came out very clean.

I had already previously written a good review but they provided such good customer service for me yesterday, I had to come back and write another one. I got a dip manicure yesterday and the guy who did them stayed an HOUR PAST CLOSING to finish my nails. I was the last customer there. I had on awful acrylic previously from another salon and they didn't even charge me to take it off. It was a lengthy process too. The guy was so incredibly sweet and very detailed. I would also like to add that my coworker got her nails done with me back in November and she was sick. One of the staff offered her cough drops and was so caring. My coworkers and I will only come here for our nails. They're just too nice!! I work in the same plaza so I am so grateful to have them! Thank you to the staff that stayed with me on 1/4/19!! :) read more

Not sure of the person's name but a man did my nails so that narrows it down a bit. I walked in around 1:45 pm and since they have tons of workers, he was able to do my nails immediately. Every other place I've gone to get my nails done before has cut up my hands, made me bleed and made my hands ache for a week after. Not here, he was very gentle while maintaining efficiency. He didn't make me bleed, which sadly is a selling point but it is. He shaped my nails perfectly and painted the design I wanted without me even having a good picture of an example to show him. He just knew ‍ read more

I have been to what feels like a million nail salons since moving to Gainesville and I FINALLY found one. I love Tami Nails, they have good nail technicians and I've always come without an appointment and no matter how busy they are I have yet to wait over 10 mins to get my services done. They offer everything and are up to date on all the latest trends. Haven't got waxed here so not sure how they are with that service. read more

Went in Tuesday for a fill. The young lady talked me into doing gel chrome Polish for an extra $20. It will last soooo much longer. Well it's Saturday and I have 2 nails with large chips in them. I should've stuck with regular polish, not as interesting but I'd have saved $20 and still had polished nails. Day 5 and it's just getting so much worse now have 6 chipped nails. How does one's nail chip in their sleep? read more

Tami Nail Salon - One chipped gel nail after only 4 days - Nail Salons Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

This was the second place I tried in Gainesville, and I was so happy with it that I ended my search. For starters the pedicures here are the BEST (at least the best I've ever had)! The chairs are nice and comfy and have message features. They also use this foot/leg mask that smells like peppermint and wrap your feet and legs in a warm towel. It's so relaxing! I also get my gel acrylic fill here. The first time I went in my nails were a wreck. The guy took the time to clip away all the loose and broken parts, which was unlike the first nail salon I tried in Gainesville. Both of the guys that do fills are really nice and personable. I also like the machines they have for drying the polish. Practically everyone that works in the salon is really nice. I've only taken issue with one woman that works there, which to me isn't enough to write the place off. I would really recommend this place if you're looking for a nail salon. read more

Worst service EVERY. Me and my daughter went there today and we was in there for over 3 hours. They kept skipping my daughter. I asked the man that did my nails to put a design on my toes he said he couldn't do that because I didn't get gel paint on my nails. They was very rude also and they charge to much anyway. Ive been to them several times before but they was ridiculous off there game today. I won't be back. If I could give them a zero I would. read more

This salon is one of the worst I've ever been too. I called ahead and they were vague about timing and pricing. They didn't answer any of my questions and just pushed and pushed me to go in. I went in and they had horrible customer service I picked my color and sat down. I mentioned to the lady that I had a small paper cut on my index finger that was almost healed up and just asked her to be careful. The lady next to her said that I couldn't have my nails done if I had any open cuts. I told her that I'd had acrylics done many times with cuts before and it's never been an issue but they refused to do my nails and practically pushed me out of the store. I was extremely offended by the customer service and will NOT be going back to a Tami Nails Salon ever. I was very exited and this was a very disappointing experience. read more

Tami Nail Salon gave me by far the best set of acrylics I've ever had! I still can't get over how amazing they look. The precision and care they offer is truly unmatched, and my nail tech, Lani, is incredibly talented. I'm so thankful I found this local gem. Definitely my go-to when it comes to nail care for now on!! read more

If you go at an unplanned time, like 5:30 p.m. or a few days before a school break or during finals there will definately be a wait, but if you're strategic you can walk in and go right to a chair. They are very polite and friendly. My favorite part is their huge selection of colors (and that they don't mind if you take a long time deciding)! read more

New to Gainesville decided to try tami nails ...the first time I went and my nails popped off in 3 days but I was like whatever... this time I go and get my nails done and the lady did not ask how long I wanted them before she started cutting , that being said she cut my nails too short I said " no I wanted them long " so she cut the rest of the nails long but left the ones she had already done short . Then she proceeded and I noticed my nails were different lengths she said no they're not that's just your fingers and kept going, then when going the nail art she messed up and neglected to fix it because she would have to " repaint the whole nail" and to make it better my rhinestones are already coming off after one day (you can see all of this in the pictures) and when I complained and said just take the nails off and give me a refund , the lady said "well how will we get our money?" Beware they will f*ck you up with no problem but it's like pulling teeth to get them to do anything about it read more

Came here for a full set. I got marble and ombré in charged me $60 I been to other places that charged me less but whatever they don't look bad but they're aren't my favorite either. Many people have complimented me but I'm generally a picky person. One thing for sure they are very dedicated and took their time on them. The manger is very nice and does a lot things at once . The place looks clean and you can tell that their pedicures are good I'll definitely come back. read more

Tami Nail Salon - Nail Salons Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

The employees at this salon do not greet you or acknowledge you when you walk in and also do not respect appointment times. In addition, there have been several times that I have requested that I get something done in a particular way, only to have my request scoffed at rudely. I find this bizarre given that I am paying for a service. In addition, my nails are done poorly almost every single time. I have given this salon several tries but will never be returning. read more

They do an alright job but it's kind of rushed. Whenever I come, I always get the same thing, a gel manicure and gel pedicure. For SOME reason they always feel the need to verify and tell me 3 times that what I want to get costs more, as if to make sure I can pay for it. It's insulting, embarrassing, and irritating. I'm in the shop right now and this is the third time it has happened to me. I've never seen them repetitively verify that any other customer was aware of the price. Why me? Who am I kidding? I know exactly why :-/ read more

Why can't I find a decent nail salon in Gainesville?! This place seemed great the first itme I went but that's where it ends. I've been back twice more and both times they were so busy that the guy that did my nails (same guy all three times) caught me with the drill REPEATEDLY. What? I've been getting my nails done off and on for 15 years and I've never had that happen over and over. I went home with some dried blood and a sore cuticle area. My nails weren't dried in the uv lamp because thay were too busy and after 25 minutes in front of the fan (being ignored) I got up to leave. 1.5 hours later (no joke) my nails were still tacky and getting dings. This usually means they weren't dried properly between coats. My nails also are coming up, which rarely happens unless a crappy job was done. They didn't check to see if anything needs to be glued before doing them (that's how you get nail fungus ladies). My ring fingers are obviouly different lenghts.... Yeah. Won't be back. read more

I just had a gel pedicure here, Kent was my nail tech. I am so pleased with the service he provided. He is perfectionist to say the least and went out of his way to check in with me to ensure that I was happy with the acrylic he put on and the color I had picked out. I was a walk in and they got to me within about 10 minutes. I think there prices are reasonable and service is top notch. I definitely will be back, all the staff were nice and helpful. Thank you Kent! read more

DO NOT come here if you don't want to wait at least 45 mins before someone will do your mani or pedi. EVERY time I've come, I've waited at least 45 mins even WITH an appointment. Horrible service and defintely not worth the wait. read more

I go here to get my natural nails done with dip powder and I get an occasional pedicure. My last experience was very displeasing. They were extremely busy and I'm not sure if this is why the quality of my dip powder manicure is how it is. Within 1 or 2 days of getting it done I have at least four or five nails with vertical cracks and lifting on the sides. I went in yesterday and had one of the more severe nails fixed but they seemed unwilling to help me match the previous color and left me to figure out which color have been previously used. Now I'm running around with a slightly different colored nail and a weird yellow residue around the bed of the nail, I guess because the color is orange, but you would think a nail tech would clean that up for a person because it looks weird.. No hand massage given for a $45 nail service is pretty disappointing too. She didn't even put cuticle oil on my cuticles. I left there spending $70 (before tip!) of my hard-earned money and I am not satisfied at all with the quality or the unwillingness of assisting me match the previous dip powder color. I would honestly appreciate a refund for the dip powder "service" so that I can go somewhere where it doesn't feel like I'm a burden to the employees. There's ALWAYS a wait and whenever I walk in I have to get the employee's attention and say hello first... It's not the biggest deal in the world but being friendly in a service industry goes a long way in making a person comfortable being there. I've noticed that when customers walk in that appear nicely dressed and are middle-aged white women or college-aged girls pulling up in Daddy's BMW they are overly friendly and seemed much more willing to help. JUST SAYING.. read more
