Bahama Spa and Nails

My go to nail salon when i come into town! Everyone there is very friendly and know what their doing it. I can tell they love what they do.
From regular or gel mani/​pedi to waxing to acrylic they have it all!
The décor of the salon makes me feel like I’m relaxing in an island! So cute!

This place is my get away! I love coming here. They are the best gem in Saint Louis. Been going here for almost 10 years now and have never had a complaint. If you want the best. .you have to come here! Great service… great people!

I do the gel nails and I like they have so many colors to chose from. The pedicures are nice. Eyebrow waxing is nice, I wish she would have done a little more, but I’ll tell them next time. The place is nice and clean too, but the reason for the 3 stars is in my few experiences that I’ve been one time I didn’t tip because the tech kept leaving for a lengthy time (to eat lunch I believe) and the other times they didn’t seem to fractious of my tip because I felt I was being talked about as I left. Just kinda rubbed me the wrong way, but again I’m not from St. Louis, but it’s the nicest place I’ve found so far. I’ll keep looking but until then I think it’s decent.

The only advice I can give is do NOT waste your time, money or gas to bother with this place. I got my nails done on ¹²⁄₂₁. By ¹²⁄₂₄ one had already popped off but of course they were closed. By ¹²⁄₂₅ two more had popped off and of course they were closed and I was at my parent’s house. By ¹²⁄₂₈ when they were finally open and I was back from my parents I was missing 5 nails and it looked like I had been a month without getting them filled.** When I called to see if I could come in and fix them they said yes and that the gentleman who did them was the only one working. Well at this point I looked kind of like a «high class hobo» so I made the decision to give him a shot at fixing it. When I went in I had to wait over an hour and try to find the same color as the other nails (no they would not just repaint them all the same). When I finally got to sit in the hot seat he said that he could not believe that I expected him to fix them for free and that this would be the only time he would do it. He also argued that I had NOT just gotten them done the week before but 2 or 3 weeks before and that he would not fill or fix the ones that had not fallen off. I even brought in my receipt. He rushed through them as fast as possible which I guess was good since I had already been there waiting for an hour.
**PSA: I did nothing rough on them. I pretty much sat around watching TV and eating the whole time (I mean it is the holiday season right!)
Now on to the following week. I got him to fix the ones that had popped off for no reason with much resistance. It has now been 2 weeks since I got them done and I finally invested in some nail glue. 3 more of the ones he rushed through fixing have popped off as well as a new one.
All in all I learned a lesson in this whole experience. Do not bother going back to the place that could not figure it out the first time to have them fix it. Just give it up and try someplace new.

They are amazing. Everyone works so well together, it’s like a well-​oiled machine and the quality of work is outstanding. I can bring in an outrageous idea or picture and they do whatever they need to recreate it AND it’s flawless. I love this place!

This place is amazing! Finally after NUMEROUS nail salons I have found my nail home! First off, it’s gorgeous inside. The techs were all very friendly. I like that the pedicure area is in a more private space towards the back. They also have an airbrush and were able to do an ombré for me, which 4 other diff salons told me they couldn’t do. And they have an adorable puppy to brighten your day. Lee is amazing!

You can tell that the people that work there, enjoy their jobs and take pride in their work. An added bonus is, they work together like a well oiled machine.
I know this ’cause both times I’ve been there they took my hot mess of my fingers and eyebrows, and then turned them into beautiful again. Yay! Thank you!

Best experience ever the ladies we’re very nice and my feet felt like clouds upon leaving this will be a bi weekly trip for me…

After my visit to my new go to salon, I had to write my first review! I walked in on a Saturday morning and got a gel manicure and a basic pedicure for $ 54. My technician was HA, I belive. She was extremely attentive and friendly. I needed assistance finding matching color sets and she went above and beyond and compared different brands of colors together. The atmosphere was nice and clean. What I love is that the place is themed and has a palm tree in the front and a gorgeous waterfall in the center. A recommendation I would make is to offer drinks because the first thing I noticed when I walked in was the manicure bar. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because my gel color and regular Polish didn’t fully match but it was close. HA did try to meet my needs but the shades on my hands and feet are slighty different. Another recommendation is to find exact matching polishes for each gel shade. They do however carry OPI gel that have their matching Polish but I prefer the gelish brand color. Overall, this is a wonderful salon and I recommend this to everyone looking for a fresh salon.

This is the best bang for your buck. They are $ 5-​$ 10 cheaper than places around. You can see how clean they are the moment you walk in the door. I will not go anywhere else. The care and attention they have. Very, her impressed.

Sub par manicures and pedicures and almost certainly the techs talked about us in Vietnamese the entire time. I recommend Clayton nails and spa who were full today when we needed to get our nails done. Instead we went to Bahama nails. Won’t be coming back.

They are just across from my work so the location is perfect. I love the tiki look. The girls are always so nice. And they really do a great job. I’ve been 3 times now. Will definitely be back. They have a great gel nail color selection too.

My go to nail salon in STL. The customer service is great & the quality of their treatments is always on fleck. I’m hooked on the color changing «mood» gel manicures.

After 2 attempts to get my toenails painted I left the shop without the service, but they still made me pay $ 29 for a botched job. I tried to give them a chance but both ladies made a mess of it. The nails looked awful and the clean up left my toes red.
I keep my toenails short and I know it can be difficult but good technicians can handle it.
I had been a regular but I won’t be back.

I hate giving bad reviews. I’m usually inclined to just skip reviewing altogether unless it’s positive. But there are SO many good reviews of this place and SO many bad reviews of the place I normally go to, so I just want to share my experience.
I went in on a Sunday and was seated right away. I wanted a full set with gel polish and a pedicure. I walked out after both, having spent $ 70.00. That’s in the ball park of about what I’d expect to spend, but I didn’t expect the full set to be so poorly painted and the acrylic so uneven that I’d have to get it filled quickly thereafter. The pedicure was okay – nothing too extraordinary, so I’m not sure why my total was around $ 70, when elsewhere, that gets you a full set with gel polish and a really fantastic pedicure.

I have found my go to spot FINALLY! I usually don’t leave reviews but I really did enjoy my time at this salon.
There are indeed some pros and cons about this salon but the overall experience was amazing!
1.) I walked in with no appointment and the wait was 25 min for a gel fullset and basic pedicure. At first, I was very hesitant to leave but just waited since I have a hard time choosing polish. I was taken in within the wait time which was pretty surprising since the salons I’ve been to have been inaccurate about their waiting times.
2.) The polish selection is decent. Wish they had Essie but they did have a lot of OPI and China Glaze. Their gel selection is pretty good, no OPI but mostly Shellac and Gelish.
3.) The service was amazing. Even though the tech didn’t speak fluent English, she tried her best to please my needs and also the receptionist went around also to make sure everything was A OK.
4.) The price was not too high but not cheap. I had a full set with acrylic powder and Shellac on yop, it was $ 40. The pedicure was priced very well at $ 24.
I came while a bridal party was finishing up, I sort of assumed the service to be not perfect but it went very well. I got taken within the wait line and also loved the service done on me. I will be back!

LOVE this salon! Went out of my way to go here for a mani/​pedi based off a friend’s recommendation. Nail tech (can’t remember her name) did an outstanding job. She really took her time to make sure my nails looked perfect. Very reasonable pricing — $ 35 for a basic mani and pedi. I even got compliments later saying my nails looked like it was a gel manicure! Will definitely be going back.

Awful experience and I will not be going back!
A friend and I went in today to get our eyebrows waxed and a polish change using gel polish (nails and toes for me, just toes for her), and we were told that it would not be a problem. We picked out our colors and went to the chairs to see that they had water poured for pedicures. We again told them we just wanted our polish changed and were not getting pedicures. No biggie, just a misunderstanding.
All seemed fine until they finished with my friend and she went to pay. That’s when they told us the price — it was $ 25 just for gel polish!!!
A pedicure is $ 24, and their price list states that a polish change on toes is $ 10. No where is it noted that a polish change using gel polish is more than a flipping pedicure. I would have just gotten a pedicure if they’d have bothered to mention that.
I was oblivious to what was happening while my friend was questioning their pricing because I was still having my toes done. It wasn’t until I went to the manicure bar to have my nails polished that my friend was able to tell me how much she was just charged.
Before she started on my nails, I asked what the price is for just gel polish (no mani) on my nails — it’s $ 30 even though their price list says $ 7 (again there is no mention of gel polish being more anywhere on their pricing sheet). When I asked how much a gel manicure would be she said $ 30. I was obviously confused, I mean how can a manicure and a polish change be the same price? When I asked she just kept repeating the same thing — that polish only would be $ 30. I’m sorry, but that’s absolutely insane.
Needless to say, I left without having my nails done. When I went to pay I let them know how disappointed I was by them not informing us about their price discrepancies. The lady’s response was that we should have asked. Normally, I’d give that to them, but we read the pricing info that they had available and the prices for what we wanted to have done were listed so there was no need to ask. The appropriate thing for them to have done was mention that a gel polish change on toes is more than a pedicure when we said we didn’t want a pedicure.
The only upside of our visit was that they did do a nice job on our eyebrows (and that was very reasonably priced at $ 12)

My bestie and I got Mani/​pedis here today and were very pleased! We both got gel manicures, she got the Bahama Spa pedi with paraffin dip, and I got just a regular pedi. Our nails looks awesome and we felt pampered! I would suggest an appointment as they are very busy!

Yes guys I came back! Even after my interesting experience last time I couldn’t help it.
My shellac manicure was so great last time that I opted to give it another go before the holidays!
I happened to get the same girl again and I sat at the bar again. She took her time, made sure I was happy with my shape and the opaqueness of the color. I went for a more natural pink this time instead of red.
I can’t stop staring at them as I type this review out. They are so deng shiny! I was happy with my second experience here. I might be a regular who knows. I was happy with the shellac manicure I got last time and I think I will get my moneys worth this time around too.
