The first photo is my complete overlay set I paid $65 plus tip. Not bad the second photo is what I showed the nail tech and what I requested. The last photo is my previous set. Overall my experience was ok my nails were filled very hard to the point they were bleeding around the nails I asked the nail tech not to use alcohol on my ring finger which was clearly turning red from being filled to rough. She sprayed my hands with water and continued to use the cotton ball with alcohol on my fingers. I will say the nail tech was nice enough to have objects that you can rest you hands on while she worked which was nice and comfortable. I was looking forward to going here but I will not be returning. My fingers still hurt the next day from being filled to rough. Do with this information what you will this is a honest review
Mai did my nails and she was amazing! I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she totally delivered. I do dipping powder but because I wanted a different type of glitter on 2 of my nails she said I would have to do those 2 in acrylic which I didnt mind. I loved the final result and the best part this was done on my natural nails.Will definitely be going back and asking for her from now on 😊
First time there and Ill definitely be back to see Quincy. Shes awesome and such a sweetheart!💕
Came in to get my daughters nail done for her first time. Explained what she wanted which was a simple matte black coffin shaped nail. I was told set price only to be told after the fact it cost more for the shape. Like what?! You already have to shape the nails so I’m not sure why the extra cost, especially since I showed what we wanted before hand. I didn’t argue and simply paid. Aside from that her nails just were badly done. Crooked nails, and they appeared as if they were lifting. They were done at a upward angle. Super strange looking.
Good, friendly, and affordable service. I was impressed with their work on my nails and was equally impressed with the cost. I would definitely recommend. I went to Quincy.
I loved the first set of nails I got here, but my last visit was extremely poor. My last set of nails started lifting the same day of the appointment, and were on crooked. I went in to try and fix it today and they told me that was the lifting and crookedness was normal. It was unfortunate seeing as I still had to pay the $40. Some of the nail techs are awesome, but I wouldn’t recommend going here for consistent quality.
UPDATE AS OF JUNE 16, 2021.....I AM STILL A REGULAR CUSTOMER OF TOMMYS - EVEN OVER 3 YEARS LATER!!!! He is the ONLY person that I will allow to do my nails at the salon.I am here RELIGIOUSLY every 2 weeks and Tommy NEVER disappoints me. I just LOVE the client/technician relationship we have had over these past few years. He TRULY is a great guy - We laugh and BS literally the whole time. 😂🤘🏼😎🤗Here are quite a few pictures of MY hands so you can base your own opinion - WHICH BETTER BE NOTHING SHORT OF AWESOMENESS 🤩LADIES, take it from a regular customer at this salon, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IF YOU COME HERE. Tommy ISNT the ONLY great nail tech here - They are ALL good in MY opinion. Ive just clicked with Tommy since day 1, so he is who I choose to stay with. 💯Thank you Tommy for putting up with my crazy self - And Ill see you soon 😂🤍🤣
I went and got a manicure and the very next day my nail broke. I contacted the salon and they stayed that they would fix it and I could come in anytime during the day. I arrived to the salon at 4 pm. I was not helped until 5 pm in which they put the broken nail to soak. The woman instead of waiting for my nail to soak and be done took a person behind me and started working on their entire set. I sat and waited for 30 more minutes with no help. As I was going to leave someone else finally came up to me. I informed her I could not stay and had to come back as I had been waiting a hour and a half. I did not even receive an apology.all I got was an “okay.” I am not happy with the service that I received today.
I used to love this nail salon but lately they have gotten way too comfortable because they have a high clientele due to accepting walk ins. The customer service has plummeted and I have been going to this salon since it was La Vi Nails. They pick and choose what they want to do when it comes to designs each day and don’t really set appointments. I made an appointment over the phone a week in advanced for my birthday and upon arrival, no one knew I had an appointment... They just stared at me. When I requested Quincy’s help she stated “ I don’t want to do your nails.” Why did she say that? I will never know. Currently looking for a new salon after 5 years coming to this one.
Im very happy with the way my nails turned out. I came in as a walk-in for a mani and pedi with gel polish on both. The wait wasnt long and the gentleman who did my nails did a great job (I couldnt understand the name but it started with a T...). He was very meticulous about cleaning up the cuticles but was also very gentle. I have been searching for that go-to place and I think I found it.
So I hate leave bad reviews, but I need to share my experience. I went in to get an acrylic design done with my friend, and they were able to take us right away. After the design was done the colors were not really what I was hoping for, some nails are crooked, and I didn’t like their attempt on the design. But the original lady I had was nice so I still have a good tip. Well I went back the next day to change the color (knowing I’d have to pay), and I got the same guy who did my friends nails. He seems soooo annoyed I was back, and was the most aggressive nail tech I’ve ever had towards my nails. My cuticles were horrendous looking when he was done and the quality of the second coat (which was just a plain color) was horrible. As I was leaving he told me “okay no more color changes”. I tipped again cause they made me feel awful for coming back, but I know from this experience I can’t come back if they lack this much hospitality and professionalism.
Service was good. Rose did her thing. Was fast but precise. Great prices on everything you need
It Was My First Time And I Must Say Service Was AMAZING & Fast, Workers Were Very Friendly, Loves The Atmosphere And The Fact That They Offered Drinks Upon Arrival. The Only Thing That I Minded Was The Fact That The Shape (Acrylic Coffin) Wasn’t As “On Point” As It Should Be, They Work So Fast That Accuracy Isn’t Their Best Quality. Other Than That I Loved It.
My husband and I went for pedicures together and they were able to squeeze us in for an appointment. They were super professional and did amazing jobs! I highly recommend for pedicures my nails and feet were rough and they did an incredible job!
Staff is friendly and fast! Prices are nice and the techs are good at what they do. I love this place
This is my first time here and I’m really impressed with how clean the salon is. The people working here are very kind, efficient, and on time. I got a gel manicure ($25) and a deluxe pedicure ($30) and the pedicure was fantastic. Their prices are super reasonable and they are all listed on their website. I will definitely be coming back! They also practice social distancing, mask wearing, and plexiglass shields at the manicure stations. 👍🏼
Im new to Florida and this place was closest to where I was staying. For the life of me, I cant remember my nail techs name, but he did an excellent job of bringing my designs to life. I get my eyebrows waxed there too, but even though its been done by the same person, it comes out differently each time she waxes them. No biggie though, because my nails and brows come out looking bomb. The staff alwayscomes to watch what hes designing when he does my nails (when theyre inbetween clients). The place is clean, staff is attentive, and they have lots of color options. Its affordable, they do great work and Id recommend getting your nails done here.
Its a really great place to get your finger and toenails fixed proud customer since 2017 🎊🎉🎊
I usually get my nails done every other week or every 3 and this is the first time I absolutely hated it walking away.. I went and got dip powder which they said was $35 (no tip). I asked for almond shape and after he was done with one of my hands, he tells me that it’ll be an extra $5 because of the shape I chose.. (never heard that before in my life). After he was done with the powder, he shaped it a little more and asked me if it looked okay and I kept telling him I wanted it more pointy and he would file it rounded more.. He wouldn’t understand what I wanted even after I showed him a picture. Once he added the shiny top layer, on some of the nails it was stripy and wasn’t smooth. One of the nails had a pretty rough edge and I kept asking him to fix it on my way out and tried and he also saw that it was bumpy and said that that was the best he could do.. if I could give less than one star I would.. horrible place!!!
Do NOT get your eyebrows done here. told her not to make them thin just to clean them up & she did the exact opposite & made them super thin & uneven, they look horrendous. it was traumatizing
Absolutely love this place, This location definitely is a hidden gem. I recommend this place to every and anyone. The staff there is always super friendly and nice. I personally recommend Brian, he’s very understanding and gets the job done. Thank you Blue Water Nail Salon!
I had such a nice relaxing time at the spa getting my nails done . I asked if they could do a spiderweb on my ring fingers and big toe, they pulled it off so wonderfully Im happy !
I went on a busy day and even though I made an appointment to get a fill on my nails I feel as though I was not given enough time to do my nails. I asked for a design but was turned down. The nail tech was very rushed and seemed like they wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible. Because of this, I was not satisfied the outcome of my nails.
I went to this salon twice and BOTH times I got cut by 2 different technicians. The first one at least apologized and the second didn’t apologize, didn’t finish my manicure with a massage and tried to rush me out of the salon. My mother is a nail tech and this by far has been the worst experience I’ve ever had.
I never write reviews but I was so impressed with the service here that I had to leave one. Today was my first time at the salon and they have earned a new customer. My nails came out beautifully.
This review is in reference to COVID-19 and precautions that nail salons in particular should be taking. They had a sign on the door with about 8 “rules.” Masks, wash hands, etc. One rule said “customers will be seated 6 feet apart.” When I first entered, there were not many people there, so by default.. everyone was 6 ft apart. Once I started my manicure.... they sat someone not even a foot away from me. This, to me, was rude and not thoughtful of other people’s feelings and desires to social distance. They did not check anyone’s temperature, I did not see anyone wash their hands in between customers, wipe down tables or chairs... nothing. If you are looking to be safe during your next nail salon visit... do not come here. They essentially ran everything exactly as before the pandemic, just with customers also having masks on.
Really bummed about my most recent experience. My first time here was the best. My friend and I felt especially cared for and the techs took their time and gave great massages.Most recently I made an appointment for 3 people for my friends birthday. When we were seated I even made it a point to say that my friends and I come here because of the great massage we received last time. We were in the chair for maybe 25 minutes, rushed so that they could get to the next person. No massage really, just rubbing lotion on my legs for a little bit. We drove over 30minutes to go to this salon, expecting the same experience as the first time, but we definitely didn’t receive that.I definitely won’t be returning.
First time here and Tommy did an amazing job!! I have never gotten dip nails before but wanted to try it and he helped me so much decide what to get, the length, & shape because I was completely clueless. My nails look amazing! He did a great job making sure each one was perfect.
Hands down one of the WORST salon I have ever been to. The first time I went here the nail tech had some kind of food poisoning that she clearly shouldve stayed home for... She kept getting up to throw up and proceeded to do my nails with throw up on her shirt. My nails turned out well but too pointy, so I had to file them when I got home. I liked the way they turned out, so I came back to give it another try. This was a mistake. Immediately I was seen and got my previous nails taken off, but I was NOT informed of the hour and a half wait I would have to receive a nail tech that could do my nails. After waiting an hour and a half, I was finally seen. They hurt my nails and barely gave me a discount. AVOID COMING HERE.
I have been coming to this place for a couple of months now and so far Tommy is the best nail tech Ive gad the pleasure to do my nails with! Recommend 10/10!
I have been a client for over a year now. I love this place. The price is very reasonable and the service is fast, friendly and amazing.
Awesome service! The talent is incredible and the prices are fair. You may have to wait but WORTH IT!!
I’ve been going to Bluewater for years and they’re amazing! They don’t always have the latest trends on nails but they’re the most affordable for great quality. Mimi is my go to nail tech!
Best nail salon hands down! They work with your needs. I walked in having a color in mind and it wasn’t available but they were able to work magic and customize one for me. I am a regular there because of this. Their staff is the best!
I got gel nails for the first time yesterday. The guy did a wonderful job. He was very patient with my ignorance of everything, and was so helpful. Nothing hurt at all. The only issue was with the person who tried to help at the front desk. I was trying to talk to her and then was told, she doesnt speak English. Okay, maybe get someone who does speak English to help, lol. Nice place, would definitely come back.
Have come here for years and have always had a pleasant experience. Love the friendly staff and the work they do!
I care less about go to fancy places for a Service all I want is Great service and professional and I Found is all at Blue water nails. I got my nails set put on with coffin shape and gel for only $40. I enjoyed to talk to the guy doing my nails He make me laugh the whole time, I can’t ask for any better than this.
Should NOT try the new guy at the end.He took almost 2 hours, hurt me like Hell and no apology at all. My nails look terrible, all different shapes and not smooth at all, glue and polish all over the skin. Worst nails I ever have 😢😢😢I have been to this salon several times, most of them are nice and do good jobs, but very disappointed this time.
Honestly the best nail salon experience I’ve had! They do an amazing job best set of acrylics I’ve ever gotten very attentive to detail and really want to make sure you have the best experience! Will only be coming here to get my nails done from now on!
I went with my friend and daughter, they were so nice to us there. Tommy did my nails and the girl took my daughter. We all like the results They did what we asked for. I want to go back soon...
Great place! 1st time and enjoyed my time with Tommy who by the way speaks Spanish and very well. Not pushy and very friendly! Definitely will go back.
I absolutely love Blue Water Nails and Spa. Everyone is so welcoming and after a long day at work its like catching up with friends. I highly recommend Blue Water Nails and Spa for all your nail, pedi and waxing needs! They take their time and make sure everything is done correctly. If you want things done professionally go see Blue Water Nails and Spa, where you leave feeling like a Queen👸
I love this place everyone is friendly and helpful.
Went in for a pedicure and I’m thrilled with the experience! Very busy salon, but definitely worth the wait (I didn’t have an appt). Best pedicure I’ve received in years, and I will definitely be back.
Usually very quick to get me taken care of even as a walk-in, and they always do a great job on my nails! Can’t ask for much more than that.
First off my nails came out okay and the customer service was great. The lady who did my nails and eyebrows was very nice. However my eyebrow wax turned out HORRIBLE. My eyebrows are uneven, one is higher than the other and they do not look the same. One brow is very thin while the other brow I like. She didn’t even wipe the wax off of my face. Now I’m stuck with a messed up eyebrow. I’m very upset and the salon should make sure their employees know how to do eyebrow waxing properly before letting them do it.
Great workers very calm n relaxing atmosphere. N the prices r AMAZINGLY GOOD . CANT BEAT THERE PRICES....THEY R GREAT !!!!
I definitely recommend this place. I’ve gone a couple times already, and both times I was treated very nicely by the staff. It’s also close to the university, so it’s nice that I can get nice looking nails at a place that isn’t too far.
Amazing nail salon! Everyone is very nice and Tommy did a great job on my nails. New favorite nail spot!
I’ve been going here for years. They work hard and they make sure you are satisfied. If you come on a busy day just be patient they want to provide the best service to each customer.
Great over all experience! Professional, courteous and great prices as well. My family will definitely be back soon.
I love the service Tommy did my nails just like the way I want it got my feet done from one of the girl and she gave me the best massage Definitely will come back.
I’ve been to the salon numerous times and I’ve called in an asked for tommy and someone ( a woman on the phone said he no longer works here) I come in the facility and he is sitting at one of the tables doing someone nails? Then I get musical chaired to three different people. You guys need help with customer service extremely rude!
I glad I found Tommy the way he shape the nails super amazing, I got Coffin shape nice and sharp.
This is the best nail salon in Orlando! the staff is extremely helpful and friendly and go above and beyond to satisfy the customer. If you are in the Orlando area and looking for a quality nail salon then look no further!
Great work and fast done by Tommy Make me confident with my nails again, I will be back .
Go to Kim for some awesome halloween nails! I promise that they will last and are super well done! It made my friday and it will make your day too if you are a halloween fan like me.
I had recently moved to the area (Nov 2017) and was looking for a new salon. I was doing laundry next door at COLLEGE LAUNDRY when I decided to give BLUE WATER NAILS & SPA a try. I am VERY glad I did because I wont go ANYWHERE else now. I see Tommy EVERY 2 weeks and if hes not working for WHATEVER reason, I WILL WAIT FOR HIM TO COME BACK! I ABSOLUTELY refuse to let ANYONE else touch my hands/nails! I dont even have to tell Tommy ANYTHING but the # of the polish I want. He KNOWS me and what I want. Its nice knowing that youre taken care of by the salon you use. Thanks Tommy and Ill see you Friday the 30th! 🤗😎
This is the best nail salon around UCF, I found my new nail tech Tommy.
Very nice people and the service is great. I have the best dipping set ever done by Tommy.
I thought Id try a new nail place around town and saw this place was highly rated. I dont think it should be. I made an appointment and still waited a bit to actually get in a seat and helped. The pedicure was fine but when I got SNS dip with tips it was a disaster. I couldnt get the color I really wanted because I dont think I was shown the full range of colors. I told them I wanted a color similar to one on the gel selection but they didnt seem to understand me. Then after the nails were done a few hours later I noticed pain in my thumb and realized the dip from the nail became wedged between my skin and thumb nail making it feel like I have an ingrown nail. Also looking closer and feeling the nails some of them have texture and are not completely smooth. Im really dissatisfied
My friend and I went here to see how much it would be for a design she really wanted. We walked in and they immediately said hello. No one came to us, so we figured they were all busy. I sat down waiting while my friend waited standing up. After about 5 minutes my friend sat down. Someone got up to answer the phone, and went back to their client. Two women came in about ten minutes later and the staff greeted them. Right after greeting them they asked how could they help them. One of the women said they had an appt at 6:30. The woman stopped what she was doing to tell the girl to go sit at one of the chairs where there was a guy waiting to help them. The woman replied that she had an appt with a certain person. Still no one acknowledged us. After getting tired of waiting for someone to acknowledge us, we left. I usually do NOT leave bad reviews (even after having a bad experience), but this was just unacceptable to me. I did not mind that they were busy. I just did not appreciate how we sat there waiting for someone to be available to speak with us, and no one did, but they were so willing to help the two people who came in after us. Maybe Ill give them another chance in the future, but right now, I am livid.
Hands down the best nail salon in the area. Everyone is extremely professional and kind. Though they accept walk-in when possible, Id recommend making appointments as they can get busy.
I had Spa pedicure and it was a lovely experience. Massage felt great and hot towel smelt amazing. I’d definitely recommend here for a pedi 😌😄
Me and my girlfriends we both come here Blue Water nails 2 day ago got Our feet done nice and clean, my girl she Very picky about her nails but one of the guy did her nails and she was so happy I definitely bring her back here again.
Great service. Great people. Very friendly!! And a good and relaxing time 😊
I wanted just a black color on my nails with the dip powder. When she was finished my with nails they had white on them and I told her I didn’t like it and she insisted it was a “marble look” and said look at the powder you can see. I told her I didn’t see anything and I still told her I didn’t like it and she just went to the register and checked me out. Awful experience and will not be coming back. I also have a cut on every finger. I just wanted a simple black color I never asked for anything “marble”. Also, when I got home I had to re file my nails because she didn’t file them the way I waned them. What a waste of my money.UPDATE: I just wanted to update my review since I went back. They offered to redo my nails for free, but I did not want the dip powder again. Therefore, I received a free mani and pedi by Rose and she was great! Thank you guys so much, I will be coming back!
Me and my daughter got our nails done by Tommy, we love this salon.
I got my mani and pedi done here by Jimmy at blue water nail I really enjoy the service.
Mimi did my nails and she did an amazing job! I also asked her to choose a color for me and the color she chose fits me perfectly!
I’ve been looking for a nail salon in the area for a while and this is my first time with Blue water Nails and what can I say the best nail salon in the area I will recommend to everybody need your nails done You need to come here to give them a try Specially Tommy Is the guy you need to see for your nails he very funny very kind I get exactly the shape that I want for my nails, all my nails even and Perfect.
Gorgeous nail art and super friendly staff. Go here for a lunch break pedi or mani and you wont be disappointed.
Okay so... I absolutely love this place. Tommy accommodated me this past week where I went to a salon out of state and they didn’t do my nails right where they fell off within 3 days of having them. I felt so embarrassed that I would come not only once but 2 times because of my nails. But I’m thankful for tommy for helping me out and fixing my nails, 2 more of them just popped off so the shop will see me again this week and I hope for the last time until I get my next set 😂 I’m so sorry. Great environment and if you get your nails on a weekend always book an appointment! Thankful for tommy and his patience!! 💗 what they do need though is an actual receptionist tho
Tommy did the best stiletto shape, I’m absolutely coming back.
Got my nails done yesterday and thanks to Tommy for your Patient with me, my nails look amazing will be coming back.
Tommy did amazing work on my nails I will coming back soon.
Best pedicure I’ve had in a long time at a GREAT price! Highly recommend!
Dip powder came out great. Ask for Tomy! Does a great job with nail shape and great customer service.Pedi with other staff not as great with customer service but okay for price.
Tommy is amazing, to be honest the whole salon is great, tommy Mimi and Quincy!!! Love love love this salon the only place that does the shape perfect!! Love them
I love this place!! Tommy did the best ombré nails I’ve ever had. Definitely come here!
I usually go to a different place that is closer to me until I found this place. I love their service! Every employee is nice even if they are not the one who is doing your nails. I strongly recommend Tou, to do your nails he gives a lot of attention to details. The nails spa does not have a strong smell like other places. I love how my mani and pedi came out. I will definitely come back again.
Only became because of my sister raving about this place and the many positive reviews posted... however I do not plan on coming back. I went on a Saturday evening as a walk in, I know I went a bit late, about 6:20pm, a bit before they closed. My sister insisted it wouldn’t be a problem, but I ended up regretting it. I understand they can be short staffed, so you do have to wait a while for one of the techs to finish with their client, so heads up if you are used to quickly being attended as a walk in. I had a gentleman, do not remember his name, but I felt he was rough with my manicure and pedicure. I also felt it was rushed, but for that I blame myself for going near closing time. My tech forgot to provide a top coat for my toes and had to do it AFTER my manicure... I was surprised at this and didn’t think this was acceptable, this would never happen at my usual nail place. But I just went with it and he told me to make sure I turned on the bottom ac in my car to help it dry, which I did.I ended up getting a manicure with sns powder and gel on top since he said it would help make my nails stronger. I realized after I left that there was some clear gel on the tips of some fingers... I’ve never had that happen before, and again, it might have been because he was rushing to get it done. I just scraped it off. Also, I’m not used to seeing acrylic nails thrown everywhere on the floor where the nail techs are stationed so it also took me by surprise to see that. Not sure if that’s a normal thing to see at other salons but at my usual one I haven’t seen it. Idk. Overall, it was ok. They were nice, the place is small and cozy, and they had plenty of colors to choose from. Maybe it would’ve been different if I made an early appointment but I will just stick to my usual place.
Best nail salon on the east side, My second time with Tommy and again He did amazing job on my nails with dipping powder, I love it.
Very detailed work and affordable price. They have a wide variety of beautiful gel to pick from. Give this place a try girls!
My first time at Blue Water Nails and I love how Tommy did my nails.
Best nails salon best service in tow.
Tommy is amazing with very good personality Highly recommend.
