Nails by Elena - Jacksonville (FL)

Rachelin D Since I’ve lived here for a year, I have constantly been coming here. The service I receive is always wonderful. I always have great conversations and feel so welcome by each employee. This time around, I had Allen do my nails and she did amazing as we chatted it up. I have the inspo picture with the pink “aura” look and I really wanted a red base. Allen nailed the look for what I was imagining. Can’t wait to come back again as always.

Magali Ojeda First time coming here to get a gel manicure. Andrew was amazing and did a great job. Definitely will be coming back here ❤️

Karli Mester I will be honest and say I am a very picky. Customer and Racquel definitely came in and did her thing on my set. Very personable and listens to exactly what you want. Highly recommend!!

Elizabeth C BEAUTIFUL RUSSIAN MANICURE! Stella was detailed, careful, and worked very quickly to complete my manicure. I had no pain or bleeding AT ALL during cuticle cleanup unlike the experience I’ve had in most other nail salons. My nails look healthy and feel very natural, not thick like an acrylic manicure. The location was clean and bright, and the owner was very friendly, helping to translate to ensure I got exactly what I wanted. Booking is easy as it is all online. I did accidentally book a same day appointment and was unable to change it (oops!). But the owner quickly responded and changed it with no problem. I will definitely return for my next manicure and pedicure!

Cynnez Young I appreciated walking in and someone was at the reception area waiting to greet and assist me. The inside was lovely and simple which I love. No appointment was required and I was serviced immediately (no wait). They used this cool machine to buff my feet which felt greet, I thought that was very unique and innovative as well as time saving for me and the technician. My technician was very invested into removing the dead skin around my cuticles and that is literally my favorite nail tech!!! I love seeing and peeling that away, it just makes the nail/feet look fresh and appealing! I wonder if they plan to update the outside area to make it more appealing. It may be different shifts but there were not a lot of technicians working on this Friday. I am curious about them offering drinks, since I had water with me they did not ask but I also did not see other patrons with a drink from the establishment. I worry that outsiders walking pass may not be drawn to come in as the outside has an outdated look. I think adding the extra service of offering a beverage or a warm aromatic shoulder pad would elevate the already wonderful service. Overall my nails look good for me getting regular polish and the state of my nail beds. I opted for regular polish since I just took off acrylic I knew gel/dip would just separate and crack. So the regular polish isnt as flat and clean but again she did a great job with how my nails are. Will be back for that gel service end of April before my trip! Thank you for your wonderful service

Jen B I love this salon! Mr. Lee is the bomb! He completely restored my faith in nail techs. Some of them still care about their clients,and take pride in their work. Thank you so much for a great experience! I highly recommend this salon!

Jada Gipson I had the most amazing experience getting my nails done at Nail Gallery! Cindy is incredibly talented, and she went above and beyond to create a stunning design that I absolutely love. The attention to detail, precision, and creativity she puts into her work are unmatched. The entire visit was relaxing, and I left feeling pampered and so happy with my nails. If youre looking for beautiful nails and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, Nail Gallery is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Ashley Kerby My mom and I started going to get dip manicures together a couple months ago. The first time we went, I was looking up nail salons close to my home because my mother snagged a nail past the quick while she was with me, and Secret Nail had the most consistent reviews with highest rating, so I suggested we try them for a fix to keep my moms nail protected while the damage grew out. My mom is in her 70s and had never in her life had her nails done professionally before this, so she was nervous. But the woman who greeted us listened to our concerns and suggested dip powder, which is admittedly pricey but has been a game changer in helping my mom keep her brittle nails unbroken since then. We go every 2-3 weeks and have worked with many different nail techs - Elaine, Vanessa, Lina, Diane, and Kevin, to name several. All the staff there have been very kind and helpful as well as consistent in service. They do take appointments, but weve almost always stopped by as walk-ins on weekday afternoons so far and had no trouble with quick service. If you are sensitive to strong smells I would recommend not going on a Saturday, because its one of their busiest days and the acetone scent can be strong then. But otherwise, I highly recommend them!

MYned Tina did a great job with the manni/pedi. Such steady confidence in all her morons. Shes been doing it for q6 years she said. It shows. Peace filled environment and smiles all around. This was a great experience that I plan on having many more times.

Haley Shelar Best pedicure at the beaches! My experience has always been positive, but today takes the cake. I came in with my 9 month old for my first postpartum pedicure. We had made an appointment but did not tell the store I would have a baby carrier with me. When we got there, they almost immediately sat me in the very first pedicure chair, the one with the most room around it. They set up a chair and ottoman for my babies carrier to sit on so she was within arms of me and she could see me clearly. It meant more than they know! My heels were roughed up from walking on jagged rocks, and they are smooth as baby skin now! I chose gel polish with my pedicure and asked for ghost designs on my big toes. I absolutely love how they came out! Four days ago I had a negative experience at a different nail salon during a manicure, but I will be coming to Pablo when I’m ready for a fresh set! Amazing salon, tons of color choices, very clean, But they do not use individually wrapped tools. Would 10/10 recommend!
