I absolutely love this place. I have gone to Jessica a few times now and she is absolutely incredible at nail art. The salon itself is really clean and they are all very nice. This place is super popular so to avoid the line just come early in the morning! This is the best salon I’ve found since moving to Detroit. It was recommended to me by a few of my girl friends, who all come here too. Highly suggest this place!
I love this nail salon! They do a great job without being overpriced! The color selection is HUGE, the range of decorative nail services is also very diverse. The woman who greets you is very kind, she finds out what you need and has the ability to hold numerous customers’ desires in her head while managing her staff of 20-30 nail artists, and taking phone reservations while also taking her own clients! It’s really impressive
First time coming here and very impressed with how my nails turned out. I showed a picture and they didn’t disappoint! I got ombré dip with tips added for length. They also were very clear with me prior to starting on what my cost would be with the added cost for tips and ombré, which I’ve not really seen as transparent at other salons. It’s been a week and a half and besides natural nail growth my nails still look fantastic!Only negative is they over commit to services. I had an appointment at 6 and they didn’t even get me seated for my pedicure until 6:45. They were super nice about it and apologized a lot but still annoying. I’ve seen this in other reviews. The work they did outweighs this in my opinion and I’ll definitely be returning. Just something to be aware of.
I used to go here when Tony and his wife owned the shop and loved it. Stopped going after they sold and recently returned. A wonderful dip by Tan. Ill be back.
Just went today and it was a great experience. I cant remember if Lee or Leo did my nails, but he did a fantastic job. Even though he was fast, he was very efficient and my nails look amazing. This was my first time getting an acrylic fill and he did an even better job compared to the first nail place I went to get the acrylics done at first. The owner is also very kind and cares about herself and her employees who are also family very much. Love the calm and friendly atmosphere as well.
First time going there today and had one of the best experience in a nail salon EVER!! Me and my daughter will DEFINITELY be going there to do our nails from now on!! Mamma Tami
Best nail salon in Royal Oak. I normally go to #8, but everyone is professional and does an incredible job. My dip powder always lasts awhile and I never have chipping. Highly recommend! If you ever have issues, Tina is extremely helpful and responsive.
This nail salon is the only one I go to over the past 10 years. I walk away with a final product feeing very satisfied. They remember my name, which is surprising as they have many customers. I feel attended to and valued by the employees of Royal Oak Nails. I have tried other places closer to my home and have not been satisfied at all the way I am at Royal Oak Nails. I highly recommend them.
I moved here and am looking for a good nail place. I went here today because the reviews on google seemed pretty good. Do not go here. It is a factory. They will tell you they will take your reservation and make you wait 45 minutes soaking your nails and proceed to rush through your manicure. I consistently get dip manicures, and they never fall apart. I have already broken a nail. My husband who doesnt know anything about nails even said they looked lower quality.
Royal Oak Nails is the only place I go to now to get my nails done. I used to bop around to random places before but now I won’t go to anywhere else. They consistently do a great job. And while they do get busy, it is because people keep coming back due to the great job they do. The have so many color choices to choose from and will do their best to accommodate what you want. They’re nail techs are kind and friendly.
Ive been coming to Royal Oak Nails for about 6 years now and I wont go anywhere else! Im extremely picky about how my nails are done and they do an amazing job every single time. The shop is run by a family of sisters, their husbands, and other family members and theyre some of the most friendly people around. They always make sure everything you want is done right & Tina does a great job with scheduling and ensuring every customer is satisfied. Id highly recommend coming here over anywhere else to get your manicures & pedicures - you wont be disappointed!
Worst nail salon experience to date. I called ahead to make an appointment and was told that I could just walk in. I went in with 7 acrylic nails that I wanted removed (3 came off during travel so they were pretty loose) and my normal nails just cleaned up. Well, over 2 hours later I walked out with my hands looking like disaster. I waited for over an hour just for them to check the foils, once. The guy who cleaned up my nails was just miserable. He left my nails with pointy edges (I asked for rounded), applied lotion without even brushing off the filing dust (super gross) and broke some of my nails in the process. They spent less than 10 minutes actually working on me. Never coming back here!
I have been coming to Royal Oak Nails for over 5 years now and I only come here! The owner Tina is fantastic at making everyone feel special and never forgets your name and face. The staff is extremely experienced and has great attention to detail. No matter the problem, big or small, Tina will take care of you!
Royal Oak Nails is a great place to go! They always do a great job no matter what person I go to. You never have a problem making an appointment. I recommend this place to anyone.
This is my favorite place to get my nails done. I will always wait if necessary instead of going somewhere else because I know the quality will be great. I usually get dip and it’s never too thick or bumpy like I’ve gotten at other places. The nail artists are all so nice and talented, especially the shop owner. I’m so happy with my nails!! Definitely go here.
Very friendly staff. Definitely worth the money I spent. They do a fabulous job. Im making it my go to place for their services.
I am so impressed with my nails!! They literally have everything for nail art! Super pleased. I was very indecisive and they were super patient with me.
I am delighted that Royal Oak Nails has reopened their doors post-covid. Myself and a friend went for a manicure & pedicure this afternoon and they have taken safety precautions seriously. Not only do all the pedicure chairs have safety plastic to separate between seats but they have plastic partitions on all stations. Their consistent quality in their work was not lost. I am happy to see one of my favorite local business remain open.
My go to, strongly recommend! Great, efficient, and friendly service. You can call to make an appointment, or they also take walk-ins. Salon is clean and professional, and the prices are good despite this salon being downtown Royal Oak.
Royal Oak nails has been my go to place since I moved to royal oak in 2017! I even moved for a year and still drove 35 minutes each way every other Saturday to come to Royal Oak nails. I’ve had many technicians and had a great experience with them all. Would highly recommend! I get pedicures and dip manicures.
This place is the best! They’re always timely, clean, and professional. I always only want a basic buff mani and pedi and I walk out feeling like royalty! Would give 10 stars if I could!!
I have been going to royal oak nails for years. Tina, the owner, is so kind and makes sure you are well taken care of. The place is clean and the prices are very fair. I get dip powder on my nails and they never chip or break off. Vin is my go-to and he is extremely detailed and takes his time to make sure your nails look great! 😊
My favorite spot for beautiful affordable nail art in metro Detroit. I always go to Tina for my nails and her brother for my pedicures. They are so sweet and do an awesome job. Tina does the coolest designs for me so I always get compliments on her work. :)
Royal Oak Nails is the best! Ive been getting pedicures here for years and they do a great job! Everyone is very friendly and they take such good care of their customers. Highly recommend!
They are usually very busy but still are friendly, do a good job and keep it moving
Love royal oak nails! Theres only been a couple of times where i felt like they were rushing and didnt do as good of a job as they shouldve. But they are always, ALWAYS busy! Every single tech Ive had has been great. Anything that is wrong they will fix no problem! This is my go to place
Tina and the team create an amazing atmosphere, they always get you in right away and the finished product is long lasting and beautiful.
Love getting my nails and pedicures done with Tina and her staff! The gel lasts and looks great. I’ve been to several other places over the years but this is my favourite. 🥰
Tina and Vin are my go to for nails. I drive over an hour every time because I know they will always give me an amazing set. I get the dip polish every time, and it always lasts for weeks. I work in a tough environment and they always pull through. Even if a nail breaks they will get me in to fix it right away. Prices are cheap for the quality they provide!
It was horrible! Waited forever then the lady Lisa starts cutting my nails talking about dip? I told her I had acrylic white and pink powder. Then she shapes them wrong doesn’t clean underneath them and had the nerve to think I was coming back. They be rushing doing your nails. Mess!
I love Royal Oak Nails. They are very professional and do a great job.
Amazing group of hard working, skilled people. They closed at 8pm. I called for an appointment at 7:30 and they got me right in. I was there well past closing time. Love that kind of service. Friendly and great price!!!
I always get my nails done here and recommend them to all my friends. Always nice and friendly and I love thier color selections. They are very professional and clean.
I would definitely give this place more stars for great work & pricing..but the covid restrictions in that place are too intense to the point where I felt like I was in a hospital and my anxiety was crazy. Partitions, separation curtains, masks, it was borderline medical..yet behind the pedicure chairs...trash. Everywhere. Makes no sense. Ill definitely not be returning until they chill out.
Have gone numerous times. The dip always comes out great and lasts at least 2.5 weeks. Pedicures are very relaxing as well. Always requiring masks and social distancing.
Great atmosphere and they are very friendly! TONS of color selections! They take the time to get to know your name and will remember you when you come back! My sister and I have been now going consistently for every two weeks for two months and they are so accommodating!
Love love love this salon. I’ve been coming here for years for pedi and dip. It doesn’t matter what staff you have everyone does an amazing job. I’ve tried places all over the metro Detroit …. from Rochester to Ferndale and other salons in Royal Oak for dip, and nothing compares to them for dip. They have so many colors to choose from, matching colors for your toes, and minimal to no waiting when you have an appointment.
The technicians were wonderful. It was super busy. My only issue was that they wanted time to leave my 4 year old by herself to finish her pedicure while I went for a manicure. I was not going to do that, so I lost my manicure appointment.
Tina seems nice at first but she always takes your appt. down but then you arrive and have to wait up til an hour and she acts like this is ok . Also and she will pretend she doesn’t remember who you are if you are not paying top dollar and primarily does this with black patrons I noticed . Even another Asian young lady acknowledged this . Very disappointing because I didn’t recognize it until now . Do not spend your money where you are not wanted . Very sad
Never disappointed. Clean and proper social distancing procedures. They take time and care about doing a good quality job on your nails. So happy I switched to going here, never going anywhere else again.
Great service. Be patient, very busy because they treat you right and provide great manicures and pedicures.
Got a pedicure from here! They still are practicing social distance which is good. The service was a little slow but it was packed.
Everyone there is so kind, respectful and incredibly talented. I have been coming here for over a year and always refer anyone who needs a new nail salon to come here. Tina is the best! The whole place is very clean and service is quick and thorough. Never had a bad experience!
Ive been seeing Tina for over a decade, and I drive over an hour to come to this salon. This is a family business and everyone here really works together so well. The cleanliness and quality of work is outstanding. The prices are quite reasonable. The work is far more meticulous than it is fast, and it is true occasionally (even with an appointment) you may wait 10 minutes or so. That is a testament to how seriously everyone here takes their quality of work, because if you have an issue or a break - it is fixed RIGHT not just fast. This is a place I really view as nail doctors - with an aesthetic side. When you are tired of endlessly salon hopping, and care more about having healthy nails than a quick color job... come here. Your hands will thank you!
Best manicure! Great attention to detail and not too long of a wait time with an appointment.
Tried to get a mani & pedi, we was told it would be a 15 min wait.. Ok no prob but then 5 other ppl walk in after us and was serviced before we were! How unprofessional
Very clean, all employees were sweet and the service was quick. Maybe a bit more expensive than normal salons but its downtown, clean, and I want to pay my technician well!!
The people here are so kind and sweet. I called in to ask for closing time & they had already closed but they said they would still take me in. I went with my boyfriend as well, and they were really sweet ladies. I got Julie and Emy, so if you go they are super nice! The massage chairs and foot massage were great. Will be going back!
Tina is my go to, she’s really good at making sure you leave the salon happy! Everyone is good here and they’re super cautious and have amazing COVID protocols put in place!
Royal Oak Nails has outdone themselves when it comes to working through a pandemic, easily showing up many of their fellow RO businesses near by. Everyone was masked - patrons and staff, shields between you and the technicians as well as plastic curtains between stations.I felt so safe! I was nervous to come out at first, but now that Ive seen how seriously Royal Oak Nails is taking it, Im excited to get back on my regular nail schedule after a COVID hiatus.
This nail salon is clean with great service and a ton of color and style options! I’ve been getting dip powder for a while and they stay smooth and shinny for the full two weeks with minimal lifting. Everyone is very friendly!
Made an appointment for 3pm for me and my friend. Got there on time, nobody greeted us when we walked in, and we had to wait 30+ minutes for somebody to start on our nails. If I make an appointment and you confirmed my appointment, I expect my time to be respected just like I respect yours by arriving on time. Poor time management is a big no for me on first impression.Second impression, the lady that did my nails was rude. She talked trash about me and my friend in Vietnamese, using profanity, to her coworker. It did not show class. My (White) friend and I were talking in English, so the lady didnt think I could understand her. But I speak fluently Vietnamese.I came in for a mani/pedi, I left after my mani was done. Quality was so-so, not worth the experience and how they made me feel.
Tina did a great job on my full set today! She was so accommodating to many walkins even when they were very busy. She is very professional and makes great connections with each client. I can see why they keep coming back.
This place is absolutely amazing. They also have a great selection of dip colors. Th owner is so attentive and professional. Highly recommend!
They always do such a high quality job and are extremely kind and personable. I’ve really loved my experience every time I’ve gone.
My manicure and pedicure is always perfect. Tam is the best! Tina the owner is a always so accommodating and great! I drive 25 min every two weeks and it’s worth it!
I went to this placed, based upon reviews. It was extremely crowded and chaotic. They were friendly, but my acrylic was super thick and heavy.
Decided to give this place a shot because it was recommended to me by a friend. After reading the reviews online, I decided to walk in the same day for a fill and gel polish. The place was packed but they said they could take me. I was a little skeptical because of Covid and I feel like they weren’t following Covid protocols whatsoever. When I sat down lady asked me what I wanted and I told her and she said that she could do it for me. But after about 10 minutes I realized that she was too busy to even pay attention enough to listen to what I was saying. She was on her phone texting, answering the phone constantly and making appointments for people that were calling in as well as walk-ins. She kept forgetting which nail she was even working on while she was filing my nails down and putting the acrylic topcoat on. She told me to go wash my hands after she filed them down and I noticed that they were all different sizes in shape so I mentioned it to her. She blamed me and said that I kept moving my hand. Right then and there I wanted to walk out but I let her finish the job. I went to go cash out and I told her that I wasn’t happy with the process and how my nails looked and she offered to redo my nails after I’d already been there over an hour. I told her no and then I just wanted my money back and she refused and started laughing at me. I was so angry that I walked out and decided to go back to my normal nail place down the street. I will never be back and I will never refer anybody to this company.
The best nail salon in town! My dip manicures last up to 3 weeks without chipping. All staff members are quick and efficient. Love this place.
I have been coming to this place for almost 3 years. Tina is very accommodating in scheduling appointments and Vin, Kim, and the rest of the team do an excellent job! Always impressed and they make you feel like family. ❤
Royal Oak Nails is ran by a family, so everyone is super friendly and welcoming! I wish I could give them more then 5 stars! I love going here! Ive been to 100s of nail salons across the country but none has topped Royal Oak Nails!The owner Tina always greets you, if she isn’t available to speak to you right away someone else will ask you to pick a color and will get you started. (They don’t all speak English so don’t be rude if the person doing your nails doesn’t answer.) They are always busy (because of how great they are!) so I recommend scheduling an appointment even though walk ins are always welcome. Getting there early will give you enough time to pick out the perfect color and not feel rushed.
I drive from downtown Detroit to get my nails done here. The staff is always so friendly and they do an amazing job! Highly recommend!
Based on word of mouth and google reviews, I scheduled an appointment for me and a friend to go on Thursday evening. The place was packed, so I’m glad i called ahead of time to make an appointment. I got dip polish ($40) and my friend got a regular mani/pedi ($45). I was impressed with the work done for my nails. I’m hoping it lasts for at least a couple weeks! (Tbd). My friend was also impressed. She said that was the best mani/pedi she ever had! Also, they had dividers to separate you, and everyone wore masks.
I’m very very picky when it comes to where I get my acrylics done! I just moved to RO and needed a good salon in the area. This is the third one I tried & I finally feel like I found somewhere I can trust to do a good job. I personally like Tina and Tracy.
Love this salon. They always do an incredible job and work so quickly. I honestly think of getting my nails done as more of a chore than luxury and they make the time go by quickly.
I had an okay/average experience. They are very busy (I went on a Saturday morning), and even though I had an appointment I had to wait about 30 minutes. I think the experience largely depends on which nail tech is providing service. Mine rushed through everything but the persons next to me really took her time.
I went in to get a manicure with no polish- my manicure was absolutely laughable. First, 6 people walked in and were serviced before me. At first I thought they had appointments but I asked one and she said she was a walk-in. Then I was rushed by the woman sitting next to the check-in counter. She went through my manicure so fast my head was spinning. I was in a rush to leave anyway because of COVID and I had been waiting so long but when I got home, I saw my cuticles were sticking up on each nail, my nails were filed unevenly, and my pinky nails were left jagged as if they hadnt even been filed. Like I said, I was in a rush to get out of there because of COVID and i had been in there longer than I ever would have anticipated for a 10 minute manicure. Will never go here again.
Went here off a recommendation and enjoyed it. Thank you!
Depends who you get. Some people do a great job, and others not so much. The pedicure massage chairs are great. Polish selection could be better. I got my nails done yesterday, see photo. I don’t think I should have to monitor someone’s work on a manicure. Will probably return due to convenience, but not my favorite nail salon.
Old polish, rude technician and 2 hour wait for a basic mani-pedi. Never again!
This is the only place I have found in my area that does excellent work! I am picky and would highly recommend them to anyone who likes a thorough and professional nail salon!
I love this place, I come here all the time. They have very good prices and always have availability for me.
I had the be experience at this nail salon. I had previously gotten my nails done at a different place and they messed up so I went to royal oak nails to get them fixed. They were so sweet and kind. They fixed my nails and I’m obsessed. Tina is the owner and she is the sweetest nail lady I’ve ever met. I will definitely be returning!!!
Best nail salon in the RoyalOak/Ferndale/Birmingham/Berkley area! Sooo may color options for regular polish, dip and shellac. My favorites, OPI and Essie, always have new colors. The pedicure chairs are SO comfy! Tina and the whole staff are very friendly, efficient and they turn your nails into perfection!
They doing a professional job I recommend this place,they know what they doing.
Best place for dip nails and pedicures. Every employee is super nice and very good at what they do.
Have been going here for years & always have the same person. I recommend Manjola as she always does an excellent job!
