Not only did I feel COVID safe due to their safety protocols, I had a lovely woman care for my nails. I was fortunate to get the owner! My nails were beautiful. And now, nearly three weeks later, still no chips or fading. I choose this salon due to the reviews of others. Hoghly recommend them to you.

I really enjoy going to Galaxy Nails. I have gotten multiple acrylic sets, acrylic fills, and pedicures done. Each time my nails have been great quality, and have lasted a long time. The environment is clean and organized, and the staff are very kind!

I was very happy with my dipped nails. The nail tech constantly asked me if I liked the color, if I liked the shape, which proves a high emphasis on customer satisfaction! The nail tech took extra care to preserve my nail bed being that it was my 3rd set of dip nails and my nail was long but thin, I really liked the attention to detail there! The highest note I will say is that unlike 2 of the other nail salons in town, this place uses the dip top coat like they are supposed to, vs other nail salons that put a clear gel top coat on top of dipped nails (not the correct method for dip nails). I like to minimize UV light and loved when I found out about dip nails. I would recommend this place!!!!!

I had a wonderful experience at Galaxy Nails from the moment I walked into the door until I left. The spa is sparkling clean, the staff is friendly, and punctual. My pedicure was top notch and relaxing. They have the reputation for a reason and I’m happy to have found them!

I love galaxy Nails! They do such an amazing job on your nails and they check in with you throughout the process to make sure you like what theyre doing and to ensure they arent hurting you at all. Ive gone there a few times and will continue to come back for more. This is an amazing establishment, that takes into account covid guidelines and makes you feel safe. They were voted the best nail salon in Bloomington 3 years in a row and I can see why. You will have to call at least a week ahead of time because, since they are so amazing, they book up fast!

I was 5 minutes late on accident and the owner yelled at me and said I had to pick if I wanted a Mani or a Pedi because they wouldnt do both. All that over 5 minutes?!? They do good nails but Im never going back .

Review №27

Not a relaxing experience at all. They are clearly understaffed because my nail tech was rushed the entire time and skipped important manicure steps like soaking my hands, pushing cuticle back, removing dead skin, etc. My nails are beautiful but look overgrown and the skin around my nails is dry. The massage I got during my pedicure was extremely rushed; I did not feel cared for. I just felt like he wanted me out of his chair. Stop exploiting your workers! It shows. Will not ever be back.

This place is awesome. I will never go any place else. The gentleman that did my nails was amazing he offered me a drink made sure while doing my nails that I was ok and that he wasnt hurting me like most salons do. He showed me a better way to get what I wanted. He took his time thank you for the great experience.

I have been getting my nails done here for the past few months, and it is the best place in town! They always make sure that you are getting what you want through the whole process. I have gotten acrylics and gel polish done here and it has been perfect every time. My nails always look great for 2 or 3 weeks and I always get compliments on them! I think that for the service that you get it is very reasonable price wise.

Great first experience. The salon is clean and cute. The staff are friendly and professional. I was asked multiple times throughout my appointment if I was comfortable, if I liked the color, shape, etc. It was busy at 11:30am on a Friday so I think appointments are a must. Will definitely be back.

Review №53

I enjoyed myself here! I had a gift card for 50$ and pays an additional 15$ for a gel pedicure. Found it a little pricey but it wasn’t a bother because I had the gift certificate. Professional, clean and friendly setting. Beverages offered and I’m pretty sure they’re complimentary. My biggest problem was the lack of entertainment. If they played something like HBO movies I would have given 5 stars. Listening to classical music was different and unexpected. Friendly staff. Tons of color choices and services offered. Gel came out well and had stayed on now for three weeks.

I started going to Galaxy Nails about a year ago. And they have never disappointed! I get exactly what I want and the quality of work is the best around. I bring my 8 year old daughter with me sometimes and they treat her with just as much respect as any adult. Seriously the best pedicure in town! I recommend this nail salon to all my friends and YOU!

I highly recommend Galaxy Nails! I’ve been to a number of nail salons in the B/N area over the years, but Galaxy is my “spot” now! The nails consistently turn out great, but the service is always wonderful! They are friendly, offer you beverages (including margaritas!) & have a variety of services/polishes to choose from! You won’t be disappointed going to Galaxy nails!

I just had one of my best, if not the best, experience getting a pedicure and nails being done. I live in Alabama and am in Bloomington visiting my son and family. I just lucked out finding Galaxy Nails. It took a bit getting an appointment, but it was well worth it. I see now why they are booked up. Linda is the best. She took her time and did a fantastic job. Price was very much worth it. This will be where I will be getting my nails done when in Bloomington. Just wish they had a salon in Alabama.

Galaxy is by far the best nail salon I’ve ever been to! Everything about the salon I love....the tidiness, cleanliness, location, and decor. Khan and Kevin are awesome along with the rest of the staff- fun and professional! Their customer service is phenomenal!! The best part I love supporting a local salon! I absolutely recommend everyone to go there! Galaxy for the win 🤩

Best nail salon I have ever been to in my life! I am greeted by name every time I walk in and I am so lucky to have found Kevin!

I could not recommend this place enough!!! Ever since the first time I got my nails done here, Ive religiously gone back and wont go anywhere else. They do an amazing job of remembering and greeting you by name when you come in. Despite how busy they usually are, they all are so friendly and accommodating. They even remember to make my strawberry margarita for me each appointment! On top of all of that, their skills are top notch. Ive never walked out of this place being less than estactic about how great my nails look. Every time. Quality place right here.

I am a cross country truck driver. Stuck in town for a few days and really needed my toe nails cut. Last time I was at home, my wife refused to touch my feet, so she told me I needed a pedicure. So, while I was here for a while I looked on Google Maps for the closest nail salon from the Pilot truck stop and found this place. First time pedicure and I have to say it was a great experience. Staff was friendly and courteous. Took their time and made me as comfortable as possible. I recommend this place to everyone. Wonderful experience and didnt break the bank.

Galaxy Nails is truly amazing. The service and prices are amazing!! The salon is so clean and nice. My nails turned out beautiful!! I recommend making an appointment, as they are not a huge salon, which I LOVE. I didnt feel rushed. I really cant say enough good things about this salon. I do want to add, have cash or check for tip. You are not able to add tip to the credit/debit card transaction. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I cant wait to go back!!

Both times I have visited, Ive gone in as a walk-in. I was always greeted and seen relatively fast. Liam was my nail technician for my pedicure and Mike did my nails. Both were friendly and had a good rapport with the staff and the clients. Everyone takes pride in their work and the prices are fair for the quality. Dont forget to bring your tip in CASH! I look forward to visiting again.

Review №84

I visited here a few months ago to get a French gel manicure and it quickly became my new favorite nail salon! All of the staff are so nice and welcoming and my manicure was amazing. They really took their time with getting it just right and just how I wanted it. They put my hands under the light several times to ensure it would last well and it did! This is the only place I can go to for a gel manicure that lasts 3 weeks - I end up taking it off because I need to cut my nails, not because it’s chipping!

Review №95

I got acrylic powder (I actually wanted gel but I guess when I said full set they thought I meant that) and they look good! A lil chunky but good! I’m only giving it 4 stars because I paid $10 for an eyebrow wax and when I said I wanted my eyebrows to stay thick the lady just waxed around my eyebrows. Like she got closer to my hairline than my eyebrows so they still look messy since the most she did to my eyebrows was pluck them but i’ll Just get them done somewhere else. Also I never got a complimentary drink or anything but it’s cool I guess some people get different services than others. Overall though the nails are pretty decent!

My mom brought me here once and I havent gone anywhere else since. I tell all my friends that this is the place to go. I have gone to Twins, Head to Toes, and castle off and on before finding this place. There service is incredible and the staff is so friendly. There gel I swear last longer than anywhere I have been. There pedicures are amazing and for the same price as other places in town you can get an essential oil pedicure which is specular. I have time to go as much as I would like but every-time I do I am never disappointment.
