American Nails & Spa

Thursday of last week I came in and asked for a nail technician that would apply gel nail polish for longer than a week as I haven’t had any luck recently. I spoke with Michael and he assured me doing both dip and gel, my nail polish would last at least 3 weeks. I paid $ 80 for a pedicure and an overpriced manicure only for my nail polish to lift and start peeling on day 3. I came in today very upset as it hasn’t even been a week and I have 3 fingernails with no nail polish. I wasn’t even trying to get this fixed for FREE. No one was willing to help me. They suggested I come back tomorrow to speak with Michael as it was his day off. I persisted I wanted to pay to either have the rest of the nail polish removed, $ 10 or have the 3 missing fingernails fixed, $ 8. However, they refused to help me, claiming they were very busy and to come back tomorrow. Terrible service.

Have gone in a couple times. Have had to go back because of a bad wax job on my eyebrows and have them fixed somewhat.
Went in to get a fill and pedicure.
My fill was HORRIBLE!!! Had gel done and it was so bad. Bubbles and bumps all over.
My nails on the side were sticking out.
You could see the line where the new fill went on. Was in a hurry so did not notice till I was home and packing for a wedding.
Went back 4 days later and was told to wait a week and come back. Then he would fix them for a discount!!! Are you kidding me.
Also everyone of them lifted.
My pedicure was even horrid. One nail was broken really short so the girl painted my skin to make it look long. WTH
Besides the horrible job I was charged $ 70
WHAT A RIP OFF !!!
The gel they used actually peeled off!!! Really !!!
DO NOT GO HERE !!!
I don’t care if it was the last nail place I would never go again!!!
You all NEED to send your techs back to school if some of them even went.

Got a wax. Overpriced and they didn’t do a complete job. I’m still in disbelief. Sidenote: no one greeted me everyone was on their phones. Do yourself a favor and skip this place.

Horrible. I think the guy who did my nails was either new or had no clue how to do nails. Went in with my 2 girls and mother. Got 4 manicures, 2 pedicures. One daughter got a full set and the rest of us got gel manicures. Total cost 163!
Bubbles in my nails. Which I told him about, he tried to fix and start over. Still ended up with bubbles in my nails. Went to check out and told the «boss» he didn’t take any $ off.
Horrible. I wouldn’t ever go there again, unless u have a specific person u know.

Horrible experience. the lady who did my fills was very inexperienced and could not do a simple design that I told them I wanted before hand and was assured she can do it. 2 days after my fill 3 of my nails came off and when I went back to get them fixed they were blaming it on me. Very unprofessional staff .the whole time they were trying to get me to upgrade or sell me another service. .lol This is place is the absolute worst !!!

Oh my… I’d really like to give this place a better rating, but I left disappointed with a very sloppy manicure. When I walked in I was surprised how spacious and pretty this salon was, it also looked very clean. I was immediately greeted, then seated only a minute or two after choosing my color. This was the best part, now onto the service. Unfortunately the guy who was taking care of me had either little experience or little talent. He did a decent job with my pedi, but my mani… just look at the picture. The nail polish was very thick so the first coat was pretty much all lumps with darker spots here and there. The second coat — not only he missed the sides, but would miss the nails as well, then would scrape off the nail polish from my fingers with his very long nails with no gloves on… not a very pleasant experience to describe it politely! Water for my pedi was so hot I immediately had to take my feet out (he left to get the pedi stuff without checking the temperature, I had no idea it was so hot). The short feet and palm massage he gave me was actually painful, he was pressing too hard and I had to tell him it hurt. Overall I wasn’t happy. Such a shame because this salon is in my neighborhood and I was really looking forward to checking it out.

I will never go back to this place, the guy that did my nails did not know what he was doing. I was only doing a gel manicure & pedicure, the pedicure was OK, but not even a week later, 3 of my toe nails started chipping. The worst part was the gel manicure was TERRIBLE, the guy didn’t know the proper way to take my old gel polish off and started scraping the polish along with my nails until he saw me pull my hand back because he was hurting me, when he polished them he kept missing the sides and it I feel like I would of done a way better job myself at home. I will never go back or EVER recommend this place to anybody…, and of course the polish on my nails chipped 2 days later when it’s suppose to last 2 weeks!!!

One of the worst manicures I have ever gotten. I got a full set. My nails are full of bubbles, one hand is much thicker than the other, the extra $ 5 I paid for a durable shiny gel coat is dull and smudged on two fingers and she cut me on both hands. When I told her my hands looked smudged I was told it was just the cuticle oil and would wash off. It did not. Im heart broken that I just spent $ 50 on a manicure I cant wait to get off. Do not go here!

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars because it’s very clean and my nail tech did a great job. Parking is easy and the chairs are comfortable.
BUT, when I walked in I was told to put my name on the list and pick a color– no time estimate, so I assumed it would be just a few minutes. Wrong. 20 minutes later I was asked which services I’d like. I said that if just like a manicure because now I did not have enough time for a pedi too. However, the young man assured me that they would do the mani while I was getting the pedi; Great right?! wrong again… the mani never happened. I had just enough time to put the slippers on and go.
I hate being lied to and given a choice I would have preferred the manicure. This just aggravated me– don’t say you’re going to do something if you’re aren’t going to do it!

DO NOT EVER COME TO THIS DUMP! If I could rate this place in the negatives it would be negative 1,000. I received a $ 25 pedicure, on top of which I paid the nail an $ 8 tip, all on my credit card. However, when I checked my bank account a few days later, I noticed that I had been charged $ 49 — 100% more than what I originally paid. When I called the store to complain, the so-​called manager argued with me for 5 minutes and refused to issue me a refund. Not once did she apologize or try to make it right. These people have zero respect or integrity and are completely lacking in customer service skills of any kind. No wonder the place was completely empty on a weekend afternoon.

This place is great! The people are great and they know there stuff! I have never left this place disappointed! And especially Michael! He’s my favorite but then again they all are! Great prices! Love them! I’m loyal forever!

I asked for dip it/​next gen but the one lady didn’t understand me. Another lady came and said they only have 2 colors for dip it (pink and white). Since I wanted pink, I went for it. Later on she said let me try solar on you, I asked if it’s the same price with next gen, she said yes. After a while I asked to check their price list and solar was $ 50 compared to my usual next gen which is only $ 30 and it’s not even in there price list. So I asked, where is your next gen price. She said, I told u we don’t do it.
When I she was done, there were sparkles dust and black specs on my nails which she can’t remove since she already painted over it. I paid too much for the service I didn’t want and a service done poorly.

I’ve tried so many salons and I found this hidden gem by accident! Now I drive from south beach just to go!

Love this place! Tiara is my favorite! She is the best and has many years of experience. I am always beyond satisfied when I go to her.

No wait on a Saturday which should have been a red flag to begin with. One of the worst gel manicures I have ever had. The technician basically painted most of my finger then wiped off most of (but not all) the excess. I got the distinct impression that no one in this place has a clue what they are doing so it isn’t even worth complaining. The color selection is terrible. They don’t have normal brands like OPI or Essie and the manager tried to convince me that the cheapo brands were just as good even though all of the colors on the sample board were chipping off the artificial nails. Really really terrible.

The best! I’ve been twice and both times I’ve been greeted immediately and treated as their most important customer. It’s one of the nicest nail salons I’ve been too… very quiet, clean and peaceful.
Have Tina give you a pedicure, she throws in the most amazing feet and leg massage with it which wi keep you coming back for more.
They’ve officially found a new regular and loyal customer.

I love this nail shop. nail tech Sam is the best. He very fast, great personality, and does a very good Job…

Great place to have your nails done! Ask for Sam, he does a fantastic job with attention to detail… no sloppy polish job!

I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t love love this place. Michael does fantastic and perfect nails. Alway gracious with a design. Sam does excellent pedis. The fact that they put the liners inside the tub is sanitary. And Sam does great with the ingrown toenails. Gets em every time! He is my go to guy and funny too. They both speak very good English. Some other things I notice that’s new is Massage half hr or full hr plus 20% off right now. My husband got Tiara for a pedi and he liked it a lot. He getting a massage next! We drive for a living and that is what the dr asked for. Of course the normal waxing and facials with the massage gal. Be back soon for more treatments!

Got a walk in appointment (not hard considering only 2 people in the salon). I stated I wanted new acrykics. The tech proceeding to try and sell me on pink and white and gel (stating these would cost 50 bucks) I insisted (after 4 times) I wanted acrylic. She cut my nails twice then blamed me saying it was because I was using MY OPPOSITE HAND to text. No apologies. The acrylic bind was crooked and not evenly applied. I asked for a thin silver line design which was too thin and she blamed the fact that I got acrylics as why they were too thin.
I was charged $ 40 which she asked me to pay before my nails were done. Including tip.
No good. I will not be back big disappointment. Feel like other Unilocal reviews were not accurate.
