Top Reviews about 19 Nail Salons in Galveston, TX

Cindy Tejeda I’ve been going to Annie for my nails for several years now, and she is hands down the best! She is an absolute artist. I love how I can show her a picture of a nail design, whether its a trendy design or a classic style, she replicates it perfectly and even better than the inspiration photo! Her talent and attention to detail are incredible, and I always leave with flawless nails leaving confident and happy. Annie is not only a fantastic nail artist but also so personable and professional. She truly listens to what you want and makes sure you’re happy with the end result. If youre looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and can bring your nail inspirations to life, Annie is absolutely the one to go to. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my nails! I’ve also had the pleasure of getting pedicures from both Min and Tina, and they are both incredible! Min creates a super relaxing atmosphere, and his attention to detail is unmatched. Tina is just as talented, with a warm and professional touch that leaves me feeling pampered every time. Both give top-notch service, and I always leave with beautiful, flawless feet. Highly recommend them both for the perfect pedicure experience!

Alurea Bond Annie did such an amazing job on my 30th birthday nails! I showed her a reference picture and she made it 1000% better! She took her time and was so attentive to detail! Thank you for making my nails look beautiful! Will definitely be coming back to her again! Book with her, you won’t be disappointed!

Lizzy Bueno I started going to Cozy Girl Nails at the beginning of November 2024, so I’ve had a few pedicures and acrylic sets done. Lyn does an amazing job for nails … her work is unmatched. I got them done there by someone else last week, but I was very disappointed. Fortunately, Lyn fixed them, and I will be sticking with her! All of my pedicures have been done by different technicians and all have been great. Their prices are fair, so I’m happy to tip more for their work ☺️

Christina Chitty Best experience! Have been going to Mindy for years, she is the best at designs & my nails always last a full 4 weeks. Highly recommend. Check it out

Kelly Brady PLEASE JUST KNOW! IF YOU GET ACRYLIC/POWDER, THEY WILL POP OFF AND SHE WILL NOT FIX IT. After two days, nail popped off…COMPLETELY. Went back to get it repaired and she stated she could not do it. No explanation why, no apology, with a stern face and an attitude. She could not repair it now or no later date. My initial visit went extremely well no issues…which is why I went back. I walked in, she asked what I needed, I replied Just a repair, she replied “Can’t do it!” Professionalism is in the toilet. Find somewhere else to go. Spend your money somewhere where they appreciate you.

Mel Urbina Tina and Jerry are truly exceptional. I’ve tried many nail salons, but I always find myself coming back here. They are incredibly detail-oriented and help me choose a look that I’m happy with for the next 2-3 weeks. Their work is consistently top-notch, and their prices are very reasonable. Plus, they never make you feel uncomfortable if you can’t leave a tip, which is rare these days. They deserve far more than I can offer, so I’m leaving this review to support them. They are kind, funny, personable, and highly skilled. I’ve never had a single complaint, and I constantly get compliments on their work. I went in today and had the place to myself for about an hour. Even if they were busy, I’d gladly wait my turn. I usually expect a wait when I walk in without an appointment, but they always seem to be available. If you’re looking for excellent work at a fair price, give them a try. You won’t be disappointed!

Alanna Harris Extremely rude employees, cannot believe the level of disrespect I was met with. Walked out didn’t even want to give them my money. This place needs to be re-staffed immediately.

Sonji Sonji “JIJI” I went there on a Thursday about 5 minutes before opening. Molly did not open the store until 15 minutes passed time to open. When I finally got in, she just sat in the back office. When I had question(S) she didnt know anything about anything. SHOCKED! I guess I will go back to shopping on-line. The two day wait will be worth it.

MJ Ngo Extremely disrespectful it’s obvious these workers are unhappy with their life to be taking it out on customers. My daughter walked in asked a simple question and was met with a disgusting response, I see now by reading other reviews this is an ongoing occurrence. Save yourself the time and order online.

J Gom I’ve honestly tried to give this salon a chance over and over again but the customer service is POOR. Each time I come, I keep having issues with my pedicure and acrylic set. Today for example, my toe nail was clearly chipped and she painted over it without clearly fixing it. If you’re the nail professional, I should not have to stop and ask the nail tech to buff it out, smooth it out or offer an overlay so that it looks neat and professional. When selecting a nail polish, sometimes you don’t get to see how it looks against the toe nail until a few coats. I asked to remove because it required too many coats for it to look good. They wanted to charge me extra to remove and do over when my other foot wasn’t even done. The nickel and diming of everything, including their mistakes is ridiculous. I should not have to pay for every single thing that should be included in service. It’s ridiculous… people spend way too much money for them To keep rushing or having people who can’t even communicate due to language barriers. Basic requests is not understood. It’s annoying and frustrating. They are under new management and they need to get it together. I spend well and tip well but today as I walked out of there, there was zero effort to even provide customer satisfaction. I will NEVER come back and spend my money at this establishment.

Selina Palacios They did pretty good on my nails and I didn’t notice anything wrong until I left a finger is a little crooked and my card was charged more than said on the receipt. Update: they gave me back 10$ of what they owed me but kept 5$ even though I tipped in cash

Noe Lusk DO NOT GO!!! I purchased the $40 pedicure & by the time I got home (which is a 5 minute drive) my feet were dry & my heels look like this. When I called to let them know that there was a problem they acted like they could not hear or understand me. So I told them that I would come back up there and they said ok. When I showed him my heels he said that they could NOT do anything about and that the skin on my heels were too thick & that if they would have filed any more then I would be hurting and bleeding, then he recommended that I put "medicine" on my feet every day after I take a shower & file them & then come back every two weeks for a pedi (for real dude?) When I asked what kind of medicine he tried to SELL me this "medicine" for $20. I couldnt believe it. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY! If I could give this place a BIG FAT ZERO I MOST DEFINITELY WOULD.

Amber Gabriel I attended an art conference here and had a wonderful stay. The large complex offered many types of session rooms and formats from expos to seminars. They even covered floors with plastic for the paint and clay workshops. Staff were helpful and friendly. Plenty of parking and elevators.

Sean Butcher This hotel feels like its straight out of the 2000s, and I love that about it! Its an extremely relaxing place with all the creature comforts you expect from a family friendly touristy resort. Theres a nice restaurant with a breakfast buffet, a rooftop steakhouse, gift shop, coffee shop, bar, and of course a pool. Even though the hotel feels a little dated (in a good way in my opinion) the rooms are very nice and clean. Its a nice family getaway for groups going to Moody Gardens or just visiting Galveston in general. My only complaint is that many of the amenities of the hotel are not operating during the "off season", which made the service aspect of the resort feel lacking during my stay. This is a minor issue as the main amenities, like the pool, restaurant, and spa, were still open.

Flip Coin Attended the Festival of Lights. A bit underwhelming with the pageantry of their illumination displays. My neighborhood’s holiday light shows offer much better dynamics and creativity. Definitely Not worth it for $30. Five dollars would be more appropriate. Plenty of parking, and felt safe. The staff are responsive if you ask them.

tammy proffitt Always wonderful and friendly service! Wendy and the staff are accommodating as to what we like or specific needs. Been my nail place since 2021

LaQuesha Lewis Do not go here they tell you to make an appointment and when you do you sit there for 3 3 to 4 hours and when get up and leave the man is so rude saying sometimes you have to sit 3 to 4 hours to wait to get your nails done. Do ask people to make an appointment if you not going to be ready to do that person nails at the schedule time.

Kelly Lee Do not go here! They rush through your service to make the money and if you dont like it and ask them to fix something the same day they tell you that its you and they wont correct the crap job they did while rushing. They just want money. I asked for the 35$ lashes and the owner tried to get me to do the 100$ set because "individual too heavy, this better". I kept saying no and i wanted individual and she finally accepted what I said and told me i needed to wait an hour. So I asked for a soak off and a full set. Charged 100 for a short full set acrylic with pink and white painted hearts. Are you kidding? When I asked the tech (not previous lady) to soak off my original set, she said "tips better" and proceeded to get a white tip and shove it under the acrylic and ripped them off my natural nail taking half with it on most of my fingers. I wasnt happy throughout and kept having to correct her on the nails. They were crooked and rushed. I reluctantly paid and went home. I was unhappy and went back a couple hours later to get anyone to fix the structure of the few nails that she messed up while rushing (some nails where too small and my real nail was still exposed, the lengths didnt match on both sides, and some were uneven on the sides from filing too much) and the owner told me no. I was really sweet and nice when I came in thinking theyd help me because Tony said theyd help me, but no. I asked her to take them off and refund after she said she wouldnt fix the ones that were messed up and she ended up yelling at me!! She told me she needed to charge me if she did anything. Three of my nails werent even glued to the tips. She kept saying the acrylic looks bad because my nails grow like that. I tried to tell her theres a way to fix it. Ive been getting acrylics for 20 years, I know theres ways to counteract the way my nail grows to make it look the normal way. Just. Dont come here. I will be disputing the charge because the man Tony said theyd fix them for me but by the end of it all she did was file them and put nail oil to make them shiny. Do. No. Go. Here. Edit: They responded to my review and said "oh I wish I was there to fix the problem right when it happened, please call back so we can resolve". If this is true and they arent the owner like the lady that was there said she was they need to fire some people. You run a terrible business that is just mass produced crap. You want to get someone in and out as fast as possible so you can make more and more money. That lady that said she was the owner kept trying to sell me something and wouldnt take no for an answer until i had to say i didnt have 100$ for lashes. She gave me longer nails than what I wanted so she could charge a long length fee. You copy and paste responses and arent genuine. I doubt you even live in the state this nail salon is in. I will be telling people to stay far away from this chop-shop.

Ayanna Brown When I came into the Galveston Ulta I had the worst experience I entered and was immediately racially profiled and was followed around the store and I am from Galveston and have never experienced anything like this before I’ve been to Ulta many times and when I go to the one where I live I am treated poorly because of my race I wouldn’t recommend spending money there.

Anel Hernandez Glad to finally have an Ulta on the island!! Nice staff and very helpful too!

Bailey Lin So glad to have an Ulta in Galveston now. It’ll save me some gas not having to go to League City so often!

Ricardo Alvarado Let me preface by saying that I get a lot of massages (2 per month with a personal massage therapist and then more at hotels and spas whenever traveling) I also work in the spa industry so I have lots of experience with these types of treatments. I was warmly welcomed and given a tour of the beautiful spa facilities by Marisa. My 80 minute deep tissue therapeutic massage with trigger point therapy with Shalanda was THE BEST MASSAGE I HAVE EVER HAD. I usually have to tell other therapists at the other places I’ve visited exactly what I want because my intake form gets ignored. The moment Shalanda told me to get started laying on my stomach, I knew that she knew exactly what I wanted and needed without me having to say a word. It was obvious Shalanda took great care to read my intake form which really ensured a complete and totally relaxing experience. Shalandas massage work is heavenly and her pressure incredibly therapeutic. I shed tears of joy/bliss when she was massaging my hand because no massage therapist has ever shown it the attention that she did. I truly wish that I could bring her home with me but I will be back as often as possible to treat my muscles to Shalandas magical hands. To top it off, I was able to finish things with the best steam shower and the nicest body scrub. The only thing that could have made this better would be a 100 minute massage option as I didn’t want to get off the table! Can’t wait to come back.

Recytex Llc This is a Galveston hotel w the best customer service

Mac Land Was completely a joke I was hoping it was.phones were device was there just wouldnt given 2 sh... About.the front desk and up front.floor employees seemed to always have been given the opportunity to cure cancer the exact time I was saying... Rude un helpful...at over 700 a night u want to think about having a phone and a AC unit internet.... none of worked

Crystal Vogt My husband and I both had massages here and came away feeling amazing. We did a 90 minute massage and I would do it again in a heartbeat! The massage therapists were skilled and helped to bring so much relief to our bodies. I would highly recommend them!

Stephanie Elledge I get deep tissue massages about every two weeks to relax. I went here with my best friend on Saturday evening. Today I am sporting a few large bruises that are intensely painful. The massage therapist didnt adjust the pressure after I flinched and stopped the massage twice. Now I have bruises along my neck and spine and the inside of my calves as well as my shoulder and lower back. We were supposed to get 30 minutes of foot massages and the therapist barely touched my feet. Then after I paid the full price the lady at the front was incredibly persistent that I leave a tip. If I could give zero stars I would.

Hannah Best massage I’ve had in a long time, maybe ever. My husband and I did the couples wellness massage. I cannot recommend enough!

Heather Reeder King Nails is absolutely AMAZING! The environment is beautiful, clean and modern. They take so much time to ensure you are happy and the results reflect this! Just look at my daughter’s GORGEOUS nails!!!

Stephanie Shultz They did a quick lousy job. My polish is goofy and she didnt go to the nail base so it already looks grown out. Someone texted me after the fact and said "Technicians are human and everyone has a bad day"

FluffyCatLord Update I got my nails done October 30th it is now November 7th one of my nails has completely ripped off. It seems like not enough glue was used I have to go on the under part of my nails to file off excess gel. Had an amazing time. Super nice. Amazing stuff. Solid color is 55$ for my design was 90$. Definitely coming back

Jeny Do Super nice!! They made sure I was comfortable with everything. They were gentle. And my nails came out great. I truly recommend anyone!! five stars !!!

Jocasta Iolanthe Tried this place for the first time today. They are superior at managing this nail salon. Excellent customer service, very clean. Absolutely the BEST nail salon Ive ever been to. I cant wait to go back.

Sarah Correia Azevedo Rodrigues My tech is the best. She fixes my nails that I got from this other shop without any problems. They did a fantastic job and made the experience well worth it! Ill be returning for sure!

sandra Knoefel Well we are visiting here for three days has the best pedicure and manicure. David and the owner are amazing. Very friendly and professional could not have had better experience.

Rhonda Bloomer I found the prices at this establishment to be quite high. When I communicated my preferences to a staff member who appeared to have undergone cosmetic surgery, she maintained that my nails were already shaped as desired and refused to fulfill my request. Consequently, I had to request a nail file in order to make the necessary adjustments myself. Additionally, I was charged an excessive amount for a basic nail set, which totaled $63, despite not opting for shellac or powder, it was the basic of basic. Pedi was $45, which is norm. On a brighter note, the pedicure service was exceptional. However, it was disappointing to notice that the staff seemed engaged in conversation and laughter among themselves while glancing in my direction, which led me to feel as though they might have been speaking negatively about me during my visit.

Marnie Robinson Loved the all around experience there got and outstanding.owner and she is amazing.with them pedicures I will be going to her other locations for other facial treatments like Lips and brows Love the Sister Pedicures we had

Remarkable Review Came here to get my nails soaked off and then a powder set. This was definitely not the cleanest nail salon. the staff here say hello to you when you enter but theyre not so friendly when theyre working on your nails. The woman that did mine was talking to her co-workers around and not even paying any attention to the work that she was doing to my nails. She filed my thumb nail down so much with the electric filer, that it hurts to the touch. I probably only have a thin layer of nail left on top of it. Not only that but she didnt even complete the nail removal process when she found out I didnt want to get my nails done after that, she hurried up and "finished" to get me out of there. she was in such a hurry that she didnt even get the acrylic and glue off of 5 out of 10 oh my nails. I mentioned that to her and she acted as though she didnt understand. I definitely wont be coming back. I was charged $10 for the soak off and I still paid it but Im definitely not happy that Ive had to go through this.

asia and ashley suayan My favorite place to go, they always so nice when I walk in. Pedicures are amazing and my nails are my favorite part. Every time I go I challenged them and they always achieve. Recommend 100%. They go beyond with nail art. Here are my favorite from the past three months.

Wanda Gutierrez We absolutely love this place. My sister comes into town from Oklahoma and I meet her from Houston to go to this salon—we usually get pedicures but the nieces get manicures and they love them. The salon is quiet, peaceful and the staff is respectful. The treatments are all nice and very well done, polishes are perfect even on my awful nails.

misty rhame Absolutely enjoy my time at Joy Nails. Great atmosphere. Beautiful salon with great customer service and amazing techs. Ben did an amazing job on my fall theme nails. I gave him a few design ideas and he made it a work of art. You will always get original nails and designs from Joy Nails. The whole team are amazing people and the owners are the type that truly care about their business and their customers.

nelly zamora I convinced my husband to get his first pedicure with me, he’s typically shy since he has psoriasis, but the staff was so accommodating and reassuring. They kept checking in with him with each step for his comfort level, he walked out happy and relieved! I wish I can take them with me back to Dallas. Thank you!! **side note they were extremely friendly and have conversations with my autistic child who was present! He was very interested in what daddy was doing** will be coming back for every cruise trip

Stacie Meshell I absolutely love Joy Nails ! The atmosphere is always very pleasant! Can has done my nails for many years ! And Annie does my grandmas . We are always accommodated and always a very warm welcome !

Jennifer Rasberry I moved here to Galveston looking for a new Nail salon! Aqua nails is not only close to my home but they are very friendly n I love my toes n nails every time I go! I recommend Aqua nails 100%

Minh Hiếu Dương Highly recommend Aqua Nails and Spa for any bride and her bridal party. The service and staff were great and the set up was perfect. My bridal party and I truly enjoyed the experience.

Kel G I wish I could give this trash business 0 stars. They fixed three of my nails (got them done elsewhere) and this was the WORST dip nails I’ve ever gotten. Overly wet & goopy - the nail is uneven & unshaped. How do you mess up extra short plain black nails? Terrible trash business. Do not come here. Save your money! Can you tell that these nails were done by two different shops???

John Hickleberg Really kind and nice people! I recommend you to go there

Tuoi Huynh The service was very nice and my nails were very lovely and the lady was lovely and nice.

Kimberly Beatty Terrible experience and horrible nails. All of my nails are crooked and shaped weird. The service was terrible as the guy seemed pissed off the entire time. He got up once to put pain medication on his wrist. He then complained to me and blamed me for his terrible work saying I didnt relax my hand. I will NEVER go here again and strongly discouraged anyone from going here.

Always A Plus I called ahead of time to see if they were busy and they said no, I asked for nails and pedi and this is how my toes come out and then after an. Hour of waiting they said they could do my nails. I didn’t do my nails Bkus I didn’t have enough time left! That’s why I callled ahead of time to make sure I could get both services done before 7! I got here at 535 and they wanted to start on my nails at 650

livvv I’ve been going to this place for almost 3 years. Today I went in and wanted to change my color of my nails. But anyways I’m on a budget cause I just started working again. So I just got plain nails, that should of not been $55 bucks. They should of been $45. All the sudden she wants to charge me extra cause I’m getting my nails taken off. Like I said I’ve been going there for almost 3 years all the sudden she charges me to get my nails taken off when I am getting another set. Who does that?? I will continue to go get my toes done, but other than that I won’t be getting my nails done.

Jayne Carr Very insistent up sale which I didn’t agree to but ended up being charged for. “This looks better.” I don’t care. I didn’t want it!! On top of that she hurt my toe when trimming. I will never be back.
