I selected this salon based on the excellent reviews. Unfortunately for me, the quality and experience was unsatisfactory.I did not have an appointment and they were trying to accommodate many walk-in in clients. My service was extremely rushed and filing was aggressive. 5/10 nails had the tips improperly applied leaving huge gaps between my natural nails and the tips. They are already attracting debris and moisture, which means I need to remove them to protect my nails from greenies. The acrylic was far from my cuticles on some nails making the set look older than it was. The overall result *looks* okay but it’s structurally unsound and it’s also gross now that I have food stuck in between my nails.I wish they would have told me that they couldn’t fit me in instead of giving me this.
I just moved to the area and was looking for a great nail salon. I got SNS American manicure (color 32 as base) on my natural nail. I highly recommend making an appointment because when I went on a Saturday, they had walk-ins they had to turn away because the demand was high. I had Trina, who I loved!!!! We had great conversation and she was thorough! Despite how busy they were, she really took her time and made sure I was happy. My mani & pedi were THE best. I can’t wait to go back.
Beautiful gel mani and pedi!! I was pleased with removal of prior polish, nail filing, scrubbing, rubbing, and polishing! It’s obvious staff does not work in haste and makes sure your nails and toes are done to satisfaction. I love the massage chair and enjoyed watching American Idol episodes. The environment is happy and easy-going. I only wish I was able to sip wine or champagne to make it an extra-special and relaxed self-care experience.
Davy has done my nails 4 times now and I am always super happy with the results!
I’ve gotten my nails done here and I can’t recommend it enough! Garden nails is definitely underrated. I love that I can bring an idea for nail art on pinterest to the staff and they’ll honestly try the style perfectly every time. Prices are amazing too! There’s literally nothing I can say negatively about this awesome business (:
Love this nail place. They always do a great job and they dont cut corners even if they are busy. Sometimes a long wait, but its worth it. I recommend scheduling an appointment because they can get busy and get a lot of walk ins. Friendly and courteous staff who maintain a clean and sanitized salon.
My husband and I got pedicures both of us are very pleased with our service. I’m visiting from out of state so I wasn’t sure where to go. I am so happy that I chose Gardens. Next time I’m in this area I will come again.
Me and my bf visited Wilmington and decided to get our nails done and they did a phenomenal job. Everyone was so sweet and their work was the best acrylics I’ve seen done and I used to do nails. They’re masters at their art, we were very happy 😊
I highly recommend this place. It will be my new favorite many/Pedi. Im trying something new. Dip powder nail. Feels pretty good. Great service. Thanks
I have been going to Garden Nails for over a year now and I always leave with a beautiful and unique set of nails. Davey does my nails and I must say he is absolutely the best!! He pays close attention to detail and gives my nails a perfect coffin shape that I cant find anywhere else. I am not his easies client as I always bring pics off Pinterest for him to remake on my nails and he has never disappointed me! I get compliments on my nails everywhere I go. The salon is clean and he and his wife are extremely nice and eager to please their customers. Very reasonably priced as well. I drive an hour to get my nails done here! I am attaching some of his beautiful work he has done for me over the past year! You wont be disappointed when you leave Garden Nails!
I got a French pedicure by Davy it was amazing. My mom got a gel pedicure by Kallie. Both were wonderful! 11/10 recommend and nicest people also. Will be back for sure.
I haven’t done a full set in a really long time and really wanted to finally go for it. My friend and I came in a d were promptly waited on. And all I can say is I am ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE with my nails. I wish I hadn’t of waited so long. They are great. The service was prompt and amazing.
It was my first time visiting garden nails and I absolutely love them! I will definitely be coming back. My nail art is so pretty and smooth. I’m obsessed
Horrible service, called for appointment, told me to come in, only a 5min wait, my daughter, myself, and a friend not only waited over an hour just to ask to pick a color, when we asked pricing on a design we liked.... They told us $100.00 . Unfortunately we waisted a good hour, hour and a half sitting around because we had no choice but to get up and leave. They are absurdly out of their minds!!!! And the FB reviews say great prices!!! Yeah sure🤔
I always love garden nails :) my favorite nail place in Wilmington!
Everyone here is super friendly and I always feel right at home. They always do a wonderful job and full of smiles! Genuinely love the atmosphere and the prices are just as great!
I had never had a manicure or pedicure and they were very helpful explaining all the options. I very much enjoyed the experience. Staff was very friendly and professional.
My first time here and i will come again. Garden nails and spa has it all! A very friendly and talented staff, as well as a wonderful and relaxing atmosphere. Sophia helped me today. She is amazing! Thank you, thank you for a nice relaxing time.
I absolutely love love my nails! Finally found a good nail salon in wilmington!!
I am NEVER disappointed when I leave here! From eyebrows to toes, they do a phenomenal job every single time! Katrina and Lan are the absolute best and so incredibly sweet, I refuse to go anywhere else. I got my nails, toes and eyebrows done today for such a reasonable cost and everything was just perfect. Thank you for my green and bling nails Lan, you killed it!! 💚🖤
I dont like leaving not so good reviews but I want to share my experience at Garden nails. I enjoyed my mani and pedi. I loved my nails when we got done. I got gel nails. Within 3 days, the gel started to lift/chip. I went back to have them fix the nails because they should last me 2 weeks right. They filed them down a little and put another top coat on. I accepted it but would have liked them redone. It has been less than a week and the nails still chipped even with the fix they did. Unfortunately I probably will not come back. $30 is alot for nails that dont last.Update: I am going on vacation and wanted them fixed before I left. Unfortunately the only time i had was on Tuesday and the process that happened didnt prevent nails from peeling off. They still look good for the most part but not the best.
Garden nails is by far one of the best nail salons in Wilmington they are so friendly and talented!!!! Love my nails every time and get so many compliments on them!!!
My feet and hands are so soft, I loved the end product and my nail tech was so sweet, thorough, relaxing and detail oriented. Some ladies might think Im crazy but I think it took too long, It took like 2 hours for regular manicure and the pedicure I got was with the paraffin. The same tech did my hands and feet and she wasnt dilly dallying either. But Im a bit offbeat and want to get a mani-pedi over with in 30 minutes or less. I had nowhere else to be but I go stir crazy sitting still for that long. So if youre normal you wouldve loved this extended experience.
I recently got my nails done and even though I didnt have an appointment when I walked and they were busy, they got to me pretty quickly. They had no issues with the design I found online. I also really appreciated how gentle the technician was. I think my nails came out beautiful and I am a server so I can be rough on my hands and I am washing them constantly but after 3 shifts they still look like I just got them done.
I went in with my daughter to get full sets. Davy was absolutely wonderful. He did exactly what I asked and kept a conversation. I would highly recommend coming here. He constantly made jokes which I loved. Come here you wont regret it.!!
They’re always so nice and get me in whenever I need! Love these sweet people
I loooooooooovvveee this place, they do an amazing job every time.
Love love love this place. My wife loves this place.
Davy did such a great job!
The whole place was very sanitized and everyone was wearing masks the whole time 😊 I have weak nails and my manicurist gave me acrylic tips and an SNS powder manicure using a technique that she said would be gentler on my nails, and my nails look amazing! The pedicure was also great - there is a lot included in even the basic pedicure! The whole staff is also very friendly. I will definitely be coming back!
Mom and I came in for birthday pedicures. Staff was very friendly and eager to please. Will definitely be coming again!
I love Garden Nails! They do great designs and are so kind.One of the best nail salons I’ve been to in Wilmington.
Very friendly staff, my toes look and feel amazing! Thank you! I will definitely be back :)
Friendly and nice. Did a great job as well.
First time coming to this nail salon. They were so friendly and welcoming! And on top of that, they gave me beautiful affordable nails! Love them! And i will continue to get my nails done at garden nails and spa. :)
Surprisingly great pedicure. Like best Ive had in a really long time. So glad they were open!
I love this place! I have lived in Wilmington my entire life and finding a good nail tech is hard. I was going to another company off of market Street and every time I left there my nails were just so thick. I started going to Garden nails this year and every time I have been there the staff is funny, my nails look great they Also have the dip nails, they look like Your natural nail not this big clunky fake acrylic you get from other salons.The prices are also great! Just know that they are hidden in a little strip mall next to fairy Circle.
The best nail place i’ve ever been to !! they’re really up-to-date on the styles that they can do and the designs The husband and wife that works there are absolutely amazing people and I wish I could post a photo of my nails because they are so stunning always definitely good prices for college students also!!
Very clean and good environment. Katrina did an awesome job on my nails. Everything is cleaned well between clients. This was my best nail experience in a very very long time. Remember to tip small business well y’all, especially in these covid is times. 10/10 recommend!
I put my feet through hell at work and Garden Nails and Spa does a fantastic job of keeping them in great shape. My wife and I dont go anywhere else!
They only had two people
I went in for an acrylic pedicure and left so satisfied. Everyone was polite, professional and friendly and made me feel welcomed. They work fast but never made me feel rushed. I’m definitely a satisfied and will be returning soon.
I have never been so satisfied with my nails! So smooth and she shaped them perfectly. It was also only around an hour for a full acrylic set. I will never go anywhere else!!!
Great place. Davy is really good with nail designs 😍
Got my nails done by davy! he is awesome and does amazing designs . will definitely be going again
They are friendly and nice I would come back and get my Nails done here again. There prices are good not to Expensive either.
The nicest manicure I’ve ever gotten with acrylic tips and dip powder! Will definitely be back. Everyone was following COVID protocols and the entire place was very clean. Thank you!
Davy was fantastic. My nails look so good. Place was clean and my fill in was quick without being rushed. Thank you!
I love my nail thank you David 💛 will be returning
Ive been to several nail salons around town and this has been the best one so far. Davy did the best job on my nails. He was super friendly and took extra care to make them perfect. Prices are reasonable and the staff is really friendly.
I saw all of the good reviews for this place so I decided to come and regretted it. I asked for a dip powder manicure and when I was getting them done it was extremely rushed. All of my nails were different shapes, each of them were not smooth and had bumps/waves in them and I’m pretty sure they gave me the wrong color I asked for. I also asked for tips to be put on and they just didn’t do that. I’ve never experienced such a rushed manicure like this one. I didn’t even bother asking them to fix it. I was planning on getting a pedicure also but I decided not to waste my money if they were going to turn out the way my nails did. I’m very disappointed to say the least.
I recently went in for a removal and full set. I had previously gone to Adore Nails and they left me with the THICKEST nails Ive ever seen. I came to Garden Nails around 6 and didnt leave until 7:45ish. They had to soak, file, soak, and file some more to get those thick nails off! I felt so bad! Davy gave me the best customer service and I left with absolutely beautiful nails ❤️ Ive been to so many nail salons and Ive finally found the perfect one for me 😍 thank you again!
This place is the best and most friendliest ever! I have been going there for about 3 years now and will never go anywhere else. Katrina and Davy really make you feel welcome, and Jael is awesome! Me, my daughter in law and my niece usually go there together and rarely ever wait for long!
Absolutely lovely staff. So precise. I have never been to a place with such fair pricing and genuinely good quality. Totally recommend!!
Kristie is amazing!! Best manicure ever!!
Amazing job every time! Both artists are great
What a lovely, welcoming staff with friendly and relaxing service! I posted my nails on social media and everyone is asking where I got them done! Sending all inquiries your way!
Garden Nail Spa is a great place to go. They do a good job and they are very friendly and always seem to be happy and makes me happy to be there.
Anytime I come here they take care of my needs and wants. Never leave dissatisfied!
I am so glad I found this place. I never wait long. Even if they are busy, they do not rush you. That is something that made me switch from my previous nail spa. This salon takes their time and their prices are reasonable. Everyone is polite and does a great job. Ive never had any issues and their nail polish is quality.
Very gentle, clean and efficient. Great prices for SIMPLE things. Only 4 stars because I dont know how well they do with shaping new sets (my nail shape was already how I wanted, I just needed a polish change and fill, and I did NOT want to pay $50.)If youre a student, you get 10% off too!!!
Pedicure was a good price ($26) and very relaxing. Tony did an amazing job! I also got an acrylic full set and love them! Thanks Garden Nails!
This is a good decent place to get good nails and feet done but just recently Ive made an appointment and wasnt acknowledged at all honestly and ended up booking elsewhere. This was an important appointment before my vacation. The people doing the pedicures were all new people and honestly didnt have a friendly vibe to them so I ended up leaving. They seem to have a broken system with appointments and not so friendly.
Awesome place! Clean, nice, and fast. They do great designs, gel, and acrylic. The pedicures feel amazing and the polish lasts for months. The staff is up to date on nail trends and willing to try different things and take risks. Ive never had a bad experience. I love that you can walk in or set an appointment. If you request a specific technician and they are busy someone will either tell you when to come to the shop or they will take your number and call you when its time to come. Ive been to other more pricey salons and nobody has ever done my nails as well as Garden Nails and Spa. This is my go to place for nails. They are affordable and the entire staff is nice.
A friend and I go here every couple of weeks. Prices are great, service is awesome. They try very hard to make sure that you are happy before you leave. I had the paint chip off of one nail and I went back, they Immediately fixed it and were very apologetic. Love these guys!
I have been getting my nails done here every 2 weeks for almost 6 months. The staff is very friendly and they do great work! Highly recommended!
Love this place! I drive by several other salons on my way here, and it’s worth it every time! They are so sweet and professional, and always recognize me and ask how I am doing. I will continue to drive the extra mile to visit these guys every time!
A fun and friendly staff who do a great job with the services they provide. Highly recommend this place!!
Treated myself to a birthday pedicure/manicure and Tony took great care of me, the most relaxing pedicure I have had in Wilmington in a while! 5/5 stars, highly recommend !
Fabulous service and felt really comfortable with their attention to safety during a pandemic. Pedicure polish lasted a whole month.
It’s an amazing experience every time, definitely my go to nail salon 🙌🏾 Davy is AMAZING!!!
Can’t do a simple nail art design and I’m talking very simple. As long as you want something EXTREMELY basic (one color only) go for it, anything else don’t waste your time.
Amazing staff and friendly service! Just an FYI- bring cash for tipping! There is not a way to tip on your debit/credit card. There is also an atm in the shop. Will be back again (:
I am from out of town and had a nail come off. Called them an got an appointment and had a wonderful experience!! They did a great job on my nails and were very nice and professional!
This is the fourth nail salon I went to in Wilmington since I moved here last month. So far the other salons I went to were mediocre at best. Their attention to detail was awful and they just didnt do a very nice job. They were all very nice but their work wasnt. When I walked into Garden nails they told me it wouldnt be very long before they helped me but I waited quite long. There were only two people working (husband and wife) so I wasnt upset. Im glad I waited because he did an amazing job. He fixed the bad job that had been done to my nails before and they looked like a brand new set. Their prices are very reasonable and they are just so nice. I am so glad I came here and I will definitely be your customer for as long as I live here.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! I drive all the way from Holly Ridge just to get Davy to do my nails. He is absolutely fabulous and always pays so much attention to details!!!
I made an appointment the day before for 3 and did not sit down until 4! I understand a little bit of a wait but this was awful when they were still taking walk ins and other people while a few of us waited. I paid for a gel manicure about 37$ I believe and then two nails broke less than a week later and I was charged 6$ for them to be fixed. They got fixed and the others were so faded for no reason and these two nails looked very different. Very upset !
Best “Hidden Gem” in Wilmington! This salon is run by a super sweet family. Their attention to perfect details is only topped by their excellent customer service! I went in as an after thought on Christmas Eve. Not only were they ready right away for a walk in manicure, the family had prepared a feast (complete with wine) to share with customers! What a surprise ❤️ My nails have never looked so beautiful! Thank you!
I walked in without an appointment; they were busy, but still took me right away. Pedicure was awesome! I highly recommend!
This place is great. Prices are awesome and all of the services are solid. Im very picky with my nails but theyve done a good job for a few months now. I highly recommend them. Small staff. Can be very busy at times, especially on a Sunday.
They did amazing
Ive never been to a nail salon before I got a pedicure and it was great! Very nice staff, loved the massage chairs and my toes look awesome!
This is by Far the BEST nail salon I have ever been to. My nails look the best they ever have and my mom got a pedicure. Perfectionists. Davy did my nails. HIGHLY Recommended
Best full set of acrylics Ive gotten in Wilmington. If you care about how cuticles and the shape of your acrylic looks - go here ! Theyre fantastic. Cute place and the people were super friendly. Very affordable too so idk how high quality the products are but I do know they can form a nail BEAUTIFULLY.
Completely in love w my nails. It was an amazing experience and the service is great. Definitely recommend them.
I love this place!! Very friendly and helpful. They do amazing work every time I go. Great prices too💗
