Review №1

I had been going crazy looking for a place that had an easy way to schedule appointments online, hours that reflected mywork schedule (many close at 6pm), and that I thought would do a good job. I will say with an appt expect to wait 20-30 minutes which one of the downsides but understandable when it’s based off of how long it takes for them to finish with someone. It is pretty pricey as well (an extra $20 for gel polish) but they did a good job and were incredibly nice. I have already made my second appointment and will likely keep going there. They can also do nail designs at a fairly reasonable price, but those appointments end at around 5:30, so I do have to come in the weekend.Update: I got a nail design at my follow up appt. It was great! I’ll attach pictures of what I asked for and what I got.

These are the best nail services I have ever had. I have been using nail services for more than 15 years. As soon as gel was available I was a huge fan. Then as dip became available I loved it. My nails have never been this healthy, long, and long lasting. Best pedicures ever! I cannot say enough great things about Gables Nails.

I’ve been getting my nails done here for a few months now and they do a great job. Kim is the best. Even when I’ve needed a nail fix they always are able to squeeze me in on short notice and the salon is very nice.

My roommate recommended this place to me! Everyone was super nice and answered all my questions. My nails came out so beautiful!

Great service and the staff was super friendly, professional and without the long wait times, also very easy to walk in and get taken care of immediately. I’ve been to many nail salons in South Florida but hardly any compare, I highly recommend asking for Vy, super fast, polite and professional, great conversationalist as well and gave me the best manicure i’ve ever received. The owner was also extremely welcoming and helpful when deciding what services to get.Will definitely be returning for all my future manicures and pedicures!!

My daughter and I went to do our nails and the first time was fine but the second time, this women,MABEL,starting to raise her voice to my daughter because she said that she cant remove those types of nails and because my daughter couldnt tell her the exact and specific material of those nails.FIRST: YOU CANT NEVER RAISE YOUR VOICE TO MY DAUGHTER AGAIN! When I told you dont do that, you told me that it was not with her, that it was because always, your colleagues or your bosses give you the jobs that you dont like...that is not an excuse to raise your voice to MY DAUGHTER.SECOND: We are not experts to know the specific material the nails that your salon put to her.And THIRD It made us feel horrible and not respected.Mrs LINDA ended attending us who was a beautiful person, and SHE apologized a lot of times for the behavior of her partner.HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!

The receptionist a couple weeks ago at Gables Nails Salon is an obnoxious person. Customers should not have to endure that attitude. She was super rude with me and my niece. If that’s the kind of environment cultivated at Gables Nail Salon, not even the best and professional manicurists (they have some very good latinas manicurists) will be able to save it.

It was very easy to make an appointment online through their website. They also send reminders, which I appreciate. I went for a pedicure today with a cracked nail and Vy was very gentle and thorough. The chairs they use are comfortable and give great massages with plenty of settings to choose from. Their spacing between customers is done really well. The space is very clean and well kept. I will definitely be coming back.Edit - 02/15/2021I’ve decided to edit my post and review due to the abhorrent experience a friend of mine has had with Kim today after I referred the nail salon. Edit - 02/15/2020: This occurred on the 13th, not today.How dare she embarrass my friend while giving her a manicure. You have no right to make someone feel ashamed of their hands due to their differences. I will never be coming back here again or referring anyone to this establishment unless some serious action to remedy this disgraceful treatment is handled. Shame on you, Kim.I’d give this zero stars now if google would allow me to.

I have gotten nonstop compliments on my nails since I came here! T was my artist and he made sure I was comfortable and happy with the whole experience, you can tell the place is well loved by its regulars.

I was referred to Gables nails by a friend. My appointment was February 13th, and while I know that is the day before Valentine’s Day, it was as they were too busy to do my nails correctly. My pedicure was great. I had Miriam. However, Kim did my dip with tip and seemed annoyed that she had to do my nails as I have a disability and require more attention. I was helping her maneuver my nails, but she still seemed irritated. She was using the nail drill pretty rigid, and it was hurting. At this point, it was painful, and I could not tolerate it much longer. When I tried expressing myself and giving her some tips on making it easier to do my nails, she ignored me and kept watching her videos. Everyone at the salon was staring since she looked so bothered. I felt embarrassed and feel like I was not treated fairly. I will never come back again. If I could leave no stars I would.

I have been a customer for years as my nail tech was excellent. After he left I continued to give them a chance although their service is awful. But after today, I will never return. The owners are so rude I’m shocked they are still in business. I was told they were not giving appointments today but would take me if I showed up. When I arrived she denied this and the owner yelled out in front of everyone that she couldn’t take me and accused me of being wrong. It was humiliating. Don’ waste your time, there are a lot of great nail salons in the gables that will appreciate your business and treat you with the respect you deserve.

Ive been taking my elderly mother here for a few months now and every time has been a pleasant experience [my mothers not very computer savvy so im writing a review based on her experience]. Our favorite nail tech Maite was the one we always chose but she has since left and last Saturday Jael was taking care of her and she didnt miss a beat. She did a very good job and was patient and caring.An issue arose where my mother had misplaced (or perhaps lost?) a new pair of sunglasses. We alerted Linda (supervisor?) about the issue and although we left without the glasses, we were pleasantly surprised and impressed with her sincere concern and follow-through in trying to locate them. Linda is an asset to your establishment and i hope these words of appreciation find their way to her. We will be returning.

Complimentary beverages. Establishment was clean, calming & cool tempered. Melissa was the bomb. Thank you for my pedicure.

Gables Nails is my go-to nail spot! All of the techs are awesome, but I swear by Kim & T for my dipping powder nails! I do not trust anybody else to keep my nails healthy while looking incredible! Also, can’t forget about Linda the receptionist, she’s so warm and accommodating! Thank you for being amazing!

They allowed two male customers not wear a mask while getting service. No took my elderly mother there and it was clear they allowed these two men talk freely and walk about without their masks on. Not sure we will be back.

Review №19

They do walks in but no communication at reception or the nail tech. The lady used a dried out nail polish that was like rock stone on my nails bumps and horrible looking. I told Her it’s no good She continue to use it anyway. $47 for a regular mani & pedi for bad service. I’m sorry I tipped Her My hard earned $5.00 cash prior to Her completing. Thanks to the manager She saw it and repolished with a cleaner nail polish. The receptionist told me after I finished they don’t talk Card only cashapp zelle or a bank machine which charged me $2.50 to use the card. These people are so thoughtless and selfish now a days no good service anymore.

Review №23

Hey all, so recently I’ve been struggling to find a good affordable nail salon in Miami. I think we can all agree some of these locations are overpriced and the results aren’t very satisfying; nevertheless, I was driving around the Coral Gables area and one salon caught my eye. I booked an appointment, and when I tell you this is the best salon in Miami, it is the best!!! I 100% recommended. Gables Nails is most definitely a 10/10.

Review №24

I called to tell them I would reach in 15 mins (which would have made me 10-13 mins late for the appt) because some stuff happened in the morning and she told me that THEY’RE cancelling my appointment and I have to pay a cancellation fee. She didn’t offer me another day to come and just left me to figure it out. I told her forget about rescheduling and I’m never going back.Don’t see why I should have to pay the cancellation fee when they were the ones cancelling me while I was in my way

I received a gel pedicure and manicure; whilst my husband received a pedicure. During this Covid- 19 epidemic the staff did a great job with cleanliness. I really loved the job Jael did for my services, and my husband stated Said has been the best he’s ever had. Thank you Gables Nail for a great day of pampering!!

Review №31

This place is nice and clean however they use a cheese grater on your feet to remove callouses. My lady wasnt paying attention and grated the heck out of the TOP of my toe, tearing off the skin and making it bleed. The polish job was good but my I lost the skin on the top of one of my toes. Will not be returning for a pedicure.

They took me as a walk-in! The staff was very nice and professional. The chairs were comfortable and the facility was very clean. They did an amazing job on my nails!! They provide a wide range of colors and I saw gel too! I highly recommend this place and will be coming back for sure.

Review №33

I really wanted to like this place. The one technician that greeted me upon arrival seemed rude but my actual nail technician was really nice. My biggest complaint would be the quality of their products. I had a gel mani and regular pedi done. Normally when I get these same services at other salons my nails are strong and the finish lasts forever. Immediately after my mani my nails felt significantly weaker than even my natural nails and two ended up breaking within a week. The finish on my toes didnt last very long either. The paint literally just came off on its own. :(

I have come to this place twice, both times for gel manicures. On both occasions the gel polish began to chip within a few days. Very poor jobs. Each time it was a different person who took care of me. Not the owner. I hear she does a great job but she is never available when I have gone.

This my second visit to this nail salon. Im originally from Colorado which is flooded with nail salons but customer service is given where ever you go and is a key focus for any of the salons you go to. They have employees constantly on their phones, calling out and having their own conversations besides focusing on the customer in front of them. I am a 90s kid but even I know when to pay attention to a customer and when it is appropriate to be on my phone. I gave this place a second chance and now I never will come here or recommend this location for nails weather it is at my job, people from home coming to visit etc. If Google allowed zero stars that is what I would select.

Love this place! Came in as a walk in and they were busy but happily and quickly accommodated me. My nail tech Melissa was super cool, down to earth and did a great job and my dip mani and matching pedi. I would totally recommend her and this establishment.

Review №39

Amazing service quality. I came here after going to Venetian Nails for almost 2 years because of the convenient no wait time but they become too focus on quantity not quality. Then I was recommended to visit Gables Nails which is walking distance from my office and I am so so happy! I never thought I would be so pleased. I always get Gel nails and seriously my nails last for over a month!! Its been 2 months since my last pedicure and my toes still look perrrfect!!

Review №40

I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. The lady that did my acrylics (Kim) hurt my nail bed really bad and burned the sides of my skin with the nail drill, she didn’t even notice. Like seriously for a nail tech you should know what you are doing. First & last time I will ever go. Also I expected a better attitude from the people that work there.

Review №41

Super rude and Disappointing!!Worst service ever from the reception. 1) Even though I had booked an appointment for dipping powder, they didn’t manage to serve me as they said if you need French you should tell it from the the phone. Only two employees do French. Unacceptable behavior as the employees were openly discussing this for 10 minutes in front me, telling that it was my fault and I should have specified from the phone that I wanted French. In front of me all of that !2)Also they overcharged with manicure once they realize this would be the last time I would be in that place!3)Wax on hands: The lady doing wax obviously didn’t know how to do it as she was struggling, had me full of wax all over me and still left many hairs. She performed different techniques on each hand, proving she didn’t know where to start/how to do it.Do not spend your money there! Also, what the customer shall say? :Hire an educated aesthetician who knows how to wax ???

I ran into this nail salon for a broken nail repair and they were the only salon in the area that I found that could do the ombre nails with the dip powder. They did a great job and have a very nice nails salon.

Review №43

Went on a Sunday and the air conditioning was broken but that can happen anywhere. Oxana did my mani pedi and she was very good but I did my nails one day ago and the nail polish is coming off even on my feet.i am sure the nail polish is thinned out to extend the use. I had never had polish come off on my feet before, they usually last 3 to 4weeks minimum . Did not like an Asian lady patronizing one of the manicurist because she took too long with a client. They run the place like a factory, not going back...feel sorry for the poor employees!

Kim did a good job with a gel powder dipped manicure; however, the pedicure was not as nice because the pedicurist (not Kim) cut me, and also cut the woman she worked on after me.

Review №49

Okay so first of all. I have to give props to the place for having walk ins. Most places Ive called had to be appointment only. I do however have to complain about how hot it is inside of there. The lady who did my nails, which I believe is named Miriam, was not gentle at all & HURT my nails and made them bleed terribly and didnt even apologize. Also, as I struggled to get my purse when my nails were recently painted, she didnt even bother to help, therefore I didnt bother to leave a tip :) (There were other kind ladies, so if you want to go, I recommend you get someone different :) Other than the lady, it was a decent place with good prices.

Review №56

The typical Vietnamese nail joint: uber-noisy, especially with really high-volume chatter in a language nobody but the employees can understand; absolutely no inter-change between the nailers and the customers (here, thats probably better). Zero décor. And of course, the one wannabe queen (also typical) whose opinion of herself, which she crams down everybodys throat, is so extravagant and unreal that its almost - - no, it is - - a stereotype.On the positive side: usually (but not always), the manicure is a good one. Not a great one, but a good one.
