The most positive nail experience I have ever had for my natural nails. Looking forward to a better journey for my natural nails. The most positive person experience I have had all pandemic. An artist who truly cares and just a lovely person in general along with her assistant! :)It was my first visit, and they acknowledged my birthday coming up with probably the only birthday card I will receive this year, and that meant a lot!Thank you!
My partner and I were staying with his family on Tybee Island, and our pedicures with Yaqina were hands down the best part of our vacation! The best salon experience I’ve ever had, and our nails turned out beautifully. We had an amazing conversation, and she was so welcoming and made us feel so comfortable. Thank you so much!
Excellent people skills. Enjoyed the natural aspect of the pedicure more than anything else. I would definitely try it again. No one has to woory about sanitation: Absolutely clean!!!!
Ms. Yaqina was the consummate professional. I had the best experience with her! She knows her stuff and will give the the best pedicure you have ever had. Thank you so much!
My 90 year old Mom had a wonderful birthday present with an in-home visit from nail technician, Yaqina.She is delightful and did a wonderful job with the mani pedi especially on my mom’s neglected feet! She was so friendly and mom felt very pampered.She is a veteran and served in the Navy hospital corps so cleanliness and safety are paramount for her. She is vaccinated and wears a mask.An absolute delight and we will be using her again!
Very personable and kind. I left satisfied with my nails. I will definitely return.
Just moved to the area about a week and a half ago and had my previous nail tech search for me a new spot. She knows I’m picky and expect the best. I’m a military spouse so moving is essential at times. She found Nails by Yaqina and I’m in love! She’s the total package! Comfort, cleanliness, good conversation...and wine! She’s stuck with me during my time here at Hunter. I felt welcomed and didn’t feel rushed like at these other chain salons. I always want the one-on-one experience. Thanks for making me feel special Yaqina😌
She was so kind to my 80 year old mom and did an amazing job on her mani and pedi. Highly recommend her!
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. She is a very knowledgeable and efficient nail tech. Yesterday was my second visit and I plan to continue this experience!!
WONDERFUL. Wonderful experience. YaqinaR has a great demeanor, comfortable setting, pleasant and relaxing person and experiencewith. Very talented. I enjoyed my services and quickly scheduled my next appointment . I highly recommend her
I really enjoyed getting a pedicure and manicure here. She was very pleasant and the service was outstanding.
My husband researched the highest rated salon for a Christmas gift for me. He found Yaqina. First star was that she lives in my neighborhood! Second star was she was professional, flexible and communicative about making an appointment. Third star is that she was absolutely welcoming as I arrived for the appointment. Fourth star is the environment she created was so very comfortable and COVID aware. Fifth star is the quality time she spent focusing on my pedicure. All the stars beyond are for the friend I have gained and future appointments Ive yet to make.
I just moved to Savannah and was in search of a nail salon that had good reviews, but more importantly, also took the necessary COVID-19 precautions. Nails by YaqinaR, LLC was a perfect choice. Ms. Yaqina is an excellent nail tech and a wonderful person. My time in her salon was very relaxing and Ive gotten several compliments on my nails.
She is very friendly and professional. A very warm and welcome places of business. It a great place to go.
Very quaint and cozy nail salon. Very professional, personable, and knowledgeable nail technician. I had a concern about gel polish staying on my nails beyond 2 days after getting them done. Yaqina assured me that she would be able to help me with my concern. It has been a week and my manicure is holding up. The quality of the service is well worth the price. You know what they say, You get what you pay for!
I absolutely love visiting Yaqina’s Nail Salon. The cleanliness, care of my nails, quality of the products, and professionalism she exhibits are unbeatable! Yaqina makes her own products which are exceptional. I will continue to patronize this Nail Salon for as long as I live here, and Ms. Yaqina stays in business!
I didn’t know I needed Yaqina until I came in for my first appointment a few weeks ago. I was met with authentic kindness, professional service, and an atmosphere that made me feel at home. That’s so priceless. I will always be back. ❤️
Yaqina is the best nail professional I’ve ever met. Since getting my pedicures at her salon, my feet have been 10x better. Her private salon is blissful and she is very accommodating and friendly. You haven’t had a pedicure like hers before! Love her!
Best nail experience Ive ever had in Savannah! Yaqina knows how to do nails extremely well and is a complete professional. She walked me through all the steps she was doing as well as gave me post-manicure tips to care after my nails and prolong my manicure. Her salon and nail services are hygienic, professional, and really customer-service oriented. I got a luxe coat manicure & I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you!
I went to Yaqina for a pedicure and it was the most amazing experience I’ve ever had. Her salon is set up to ensure you have a very relaxing and personalized service. From the complimentary drinks, soulful music and growing collection of polish, Yaqina exceeded my expectations. I never felt more at home than I did at her salon. I highly recommend using her services.
From the minute I walked into Yaqina’s Salon I knew I was getting a new salon experience and this time it was personal! Let’s get into it, first off refreshments offered and included in my price, she consulted then serviced my needs immediately and did not try to up sell me on anything else, conversation was informative, entertaining and complementary to my visit. I enjoyed every minute. Lastly, her polish selection was diverse enough for even the most indecisive individual like myself. I can’t wait for my next appointment. Thank you Yaqina for giving me my confidence back!
Yaqina is the most wonderful, kind, and knowledgeable nail technician. I cannot recommend her highly enough and cannot wait to schedule my next appointment!
5 star rating but Id give more if I could. Ive never had such a pleasant nail experience then I did at Yaqinas. Great conversation wonderful nail and pedi service, and just a all relaxing experience. I will definitely be going back, and urge others looking for a similar experience to check her out.
Just had my first service with Yaqina and it was amazing! She makes you feel so comfortable and we had such a great chat while she gave me an awesome mani (with cute nail art!) and pedi. I definitely recommend her!!
Yaqina is the best. Natural looking gel nails using healthy products and none of the awful thick products that so many other places use down in Savannah. Pedicures are great also- she makes her own sugar scrubs.
Yaqina is a true gem! Professional, knowledgeable, and just an all around cheerful person. You will not go wrong treating yourself to any of her nail care services.
Yaqina and Jamie were awesome! They provided awesome customer service! They explained everything prior to receiving services! We would definitely recommend Nails by YaqinaR.,LLC! Fabulous work Ladies!!!!!!
Clean, professional and quiet studio.She took her time while keeping a great conversation. Shes definitely gained a new customer. I will be back soon!
I have been looking for a nail salon since moving to Savannah over five years ago. I have tried about 15 different salons and spas that do gel polish. Today I had my first gel manicure with YaqinaR. Wow! Best manicure in over five years. She gently (VERY gently) removed the old polish and prepped my nails. The resulting polish looks great. Included in the service, which she described as “just” a polish change, was a hand and arm massage with lotion and hot towels. She also offers a full manicure that includes a scrub, longer massage, and hot towels. Honestly, what she included for a polish change was a better and more complete service than the overpriced manicures I have had in spas. Her salon is in her home in a completely separate area with an entrance along the side of the house. The salon is very clean and she uses new files and nail buffers with each manicure.Today she has gained a loyal and repeat customer.Update, October 12, 2019So, I have been going to YaqinaR for about two months now. The manicures and pedicure that I have received have been consistently well done. The gel manicures have lasted between two and three weeks. The gel polish removal process that she uses is gentle and effective. I always feel valued as a customer. I would give her more than five stars if I could.Another update 11/21/2019: my nails have never been this healthy and strong. YaqinaR has a very gentle and effective technique for removing old gel polish and prepping my nails for new polish. If I could, I would give her ten stars!
It is ALWAYS a pleasure to have a pedi by Yaqina R. I have been traveling 2 1/2 hours one way to have “The Yaqina Experience” for 5+ years. Her shop is cozy, comfortable and clean. Her level of customer service is exemplary!! Yaqina R accommodated my last minute appt needs and offered to provide lodging as a bed and breakfast. I highly recommend her services to anyone and feel strongly you too will be impressed.
Yaqina is a very good at what she does and takes the time to pay attention to details. Not only will you walk away with a great manicure or pedicure, you will feel truly pampered with the extras that she makes available to you. Book an appointment with her today! You wont be sorry!
A very warm, relaxing experience. Im glad I had the appointment and I will make another. She is a complete professional who knows customer service!
This was the most personable nail appointment I have ever had. Unlike going to a nail salon, there’s no aweful smell (because she specializes in natural nails), you get a one-on-one interaction and treatment because it’s by appointment only and only one guest at a time and unlike nail salons where they want to get you in and out as soon as possible to get to the most people, Yaqina really takes her time and makes sure you are your most comfortable, you have the polish and design you want and you leave feeling refreshed. I felt like my appointment was tailor made just for me, because it was. That’s something you can’t get at a salon and I will never be going to a salon again. Yaqina is amazing!
I felt so at home and like a old friend reconnecting! Yaqina made me feel like an old Princess lol ! I recommend her very professional services. If you looking for a just you nail experience Yaqina is your technician
Yaqina is wonderful! I just get a pedicure because it relaxes my feet. This is not just for women. Take care of your feet and they will take care of you.
THE BEST NATURAL NAIL TECH NOT JUST IN SAVANNAH BUT EVER!
If youre looking for a nail tech that offers top-notch customer service with a smile you will find that at more at Nails by YaqinaR. Your hands and feet are in good care with all non-toxic products and you have refreshing beverage options. Thanks to Yaqina, my natural nails look so great I am still trying to convince myself that theyre indeed my nails. Yaqina is always patient and excited to try new color combinations and new techniques. Instead of leaving with a headache and sore fingers and feeling like I wasnt listened to (like any of my past experiences) I walk out of my one-on-one sessions feeling refreshed and rejuvenated and like I was just visiting a great friend. You wont regret an appointment at Nails by YaqinaR!
First the drive out to yaqinas is beautiful ride. second yaqina has a relaxing spa like nail salon. yaqina also need does an excellent pedicure its the best my feet has ever had. My feet are still feeling smooth as the day yaqina did them my toenails are shining too Trust me people yaqina has a charming personally that will easily put you in relax mode during your appointment.
For me, getting a manicure is a special event. So special that I have only had a total of 4 manicures, 3 of which done by Yaqina, and including a visit to Yaqina as part of my vacation. This was done for 2 reasons; one being that Yaqina makes getting a manicure such an enjoyable experience, and two, Yaqina is so much fun to be with. Being in her nail studio is like visiting a friend. She makes you feel right at home, so welcomed. Her artistry with manicures is what I have always hoped for. She has every color you can image and an endless amount of creativity to match. For those of you closer than my 900 mile distance, please give Yaqina a try. You will be very glad you did.
Just an amazing experience. Love it
Fabulous natural nail and Pedi services. Calm, relaxing atmosphere.
Awesome service and professionalism!!!
