    Great quality and customer service! The staff does a great job with all services from Dip Nail to acrylic, eyebrow waxing and pedicures! Absolutely love this place! I have used multiple people and they all have done wonderful!

    Perfection every time. This place is pricier than what I’m used to but very worth every dime. Always nice and always do my nails how I ask.

  • Review 3 (2021-09-26 - Rating: 5)

    Been going here since they’ve opened. Very nice place and I’m never disappointed. Andy is awesome as well as Jenny and all the others that work there!

    My mom, sister & I have been going to Nails 1st by Ken for YEARS. Everyone is very accommodating and we have had no issues! We always get compliments on our nails as well. Could not recommend them enough!

  • Review 5 (2022-07-22 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely my most favorite nail salon I’ve been to, they do amazing every time!

  • Review 6 (2018-12-09 - Rating: 4)

    When I get my nails done here they last for almost a month with no breakage. There is usually a wait as well but not for a long time.

  • Review 7 (2021-12-28 - Rating: 4)

    Daughter goes here so she recommended it to me. A young man did mine. He was good but I have never had my nails done in record time. He moved like he was on fire or going to be on fire. I have a nail or 2 that did quite get the full polish or clear coat on them. So those would be my only complaint. My pedicure was awesome. I will go back.

  • Review 8 (2024-12-08 - Rating: 5)

    Great prices and great job. Very detailed work!

  • Review 9 (2019-01-21 - Rating: 5)

    Walked in for a pedicure today without an appointment. I received a friendly greeting and was seated within 5 minutes. The pedicure was excellent and I love the my tech was sensitive to my problem with being ticklish. She adjusted her pressure while using the pumice stone and scrub brush (greatly appreciated!) I have officially found my new place! The color was done perfectly too. Very pleased!

  • Review 10 (2021-06-11 - Rating: 5)

    The man at the second desk did such a great job on my nails. I was in and out in 30 minutes and he kept making sure I was happy with what he was doing. I’ve never had such a great experience at any other salon. They were also very reasonably priced. I highly recommend!

  • Review 11 (2018-02-17 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve been going here the last 3 times and love them every time!! i took my mom today and from now on we’ll be going here together because she loves hers!!

  • Review 12 (2022-07-26 - Rating: 5)

    I almost didnt go here because of some of the negative reviews, but Im so glad I did! All the employees were very pleasant and my nail tech did an amazing job! I will definitely be back while Im in the area and I highly recommend this nail salon.

  • Review 13 (2019-01-08 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve been to nail salons all over Alachua county and I like this one the best, everything is nice and clean. I get the acrylic nails and Andy and Jenny are the best! They are quick and always do an excellent job, they don’t leave your nails soaking while they hop back and forth between customers like many other places do. Sometimes you may have to wait a bit to get in, but it’s worth it! Definitely recommend!

  • Review 14 (2021-03-25 - Rating: 4)

    Asked for a special design for my 16th birthday, very impressed with the nails themselves. The shape was a little different than what I’m used to, but I like it nonetheless. One nail was a little crooked, but not bad. My nail tech was rather patient with me, though she was a little rude at times. As an example, I asked for a little more glitter since she seemed to miss a spot before getting up to handle a phone call. She responded with, “Well I wasn’t done yet,” in a sassy tone. Over all, the service was good, my special design requests were taken well, and my nails turned out great! However, the bits of rudeness here and there made me feel unwelcome or like I didn’t know what I was saying.

  • Review 15 (2022-03-20 - Rating: 5)

    I like this place a lot. The first time I came here it was great, the nail artist was so nice and didnt rush. Second time was good but a tiny bit rude when I didnt exactly classify the sizing for my acrylics but it was totally fine and I understood why, I will definitely be coming here again.

  • Review 16 (2021-04-02 - Rating: 5)

    I called and asked if they had any availability for myself and 2 daughters, they told me to go right in. I was kinda bummed as they were packed but our wait was maybe 10 minutes. Our nails look great! We will definitely be back.

  • Review 17 (2024-08-15 - Rating: 5)

    I LOVE DICKIE, he’s amazing and his work is impeccable

  • Review 18 (2018-04-11 - Rating: 5)

    Came in for a pedicure and absolutely loved it! The girl who did it took her time and made sure to make my feet look awesome!I have looked for a place to get my toes done for a while and haven’t been able to find somewhere that actually does a good job until I came across them 😍😍Will be coming back!!!!

  • Review 19 (2019-02-19 - Rating: 5)

    Pedicure and dip manicure takes a minimum of 2 hours but they do an excellent job. Dip manicure lasts 3 weeks and I have gone as long as 4 weeks between them. I have been very pleased with this shop.

  • Review 20 (2017-08-08 - Rating: 5)

    This is my go to nail place! Great service, prices, and friendly people! They appreciate their customers whether youre a new one or have been going to them for years, they want you to be happy with the job theyve done. Ive even seen them stay past closing on occasion to get to a customer they squeezed in! Now thats good service!

  • Review 21 (2021-06-16 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely the best salon I have used. Andy did my nails today (fill with gel polish)a nd he did a fabulous job. I will always have my nails and pedicures done here.

  • Review 24 (2023-03-19 - Rating: 5)

    I love going here they always do a wonderful job!!! The only one I don’t let do my toes is the older lady:( she is nice but I don’t like her work:( everyone else is amazing!!

  • Review 25 (2018-05-23 - Rating: 5)

    Perfection at its best! This salon is in the Publix shopping center in Alachua, Florida. The salon is always clean and the staff is very courteous. My nail stylist does an excellent job on my feet, fingers, and eyebrows. Great place to visit while in Alachua or passing through. Just off I-75.

  • Review 26 (2022-02-07 - Rating: 5)

    Love the atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff! Always happy with my nails. Ive never had a long wait either.

    I highly recommend Cindy at this location. I have been going there for almost a year (every two weeks) and have never had a bad interaction with her. Her attention to detail and willingness to take her time keep me coming back!

  • Review 32 (2017-07-02 - Rating: 5)

    Clean, efficient always busy, but a good sign, paint or gel last a very long timeOnly place I go as I have to be careful with methods due to lymphedemaLove they use plastic liners in the foot bowl, and can watch them cleaning utensils after each use!

  • Review 33 (2019-12-22 - Rating: 4)

    Great, the young gentleman knew his stuff. However, special needs Moms beware. My son Got alot of eyes for sounds he was making. Also He was asked by one of the staff to turn down his Ipad.
