The best nail salon in town...... I have been coming here now for a couple of years. Very professional, clean, and inviting.Friendly, welcoming, and relaxed atmosphere. Hena is the best, and the attention to detail is outstanding.I have been going back ever since I love this place. They are the best....***You really need to give them a try 💅

Absolutely love this nail salon! I had a mani & pedi and she did a fantastic job! I’m always nervous because most places I usually leave with 2 or 3 cuts on my cuticles but this place paid close attention to what they were doing and were very careful. I showed her the design I wanted and it turned out so cute! 10/10 would come back again.

Hands down best pedicure in town (trust me, I’ve tried almost all the salons). The attention to detail and customer service is to notch. If you want a good clean thorough pedicure service, this is your place. Price is pretty average for a pedicure.

Absolutely my favorite and most reasonably priced place in Gainesville. Henry doesgreat work if you’re looking for someone who does designs, pays attention to detail and such. Hi is the best for pedicures and gives good massages. They have great customer service, they try to work with you if you’re a walk-in as best they can. They offer you beverages etc. I moved here about a year ago and I’m picky about by my nail spots but I love this place overall and never had an issue.

My gel pedicure was the best! The young guy who did my pedi was awesome! He gave the BEST foot massage! My gel yellow turned out great and its lasted a month so far. I get pedis everywhere and this guy did the best yet. My new spot. 👍

Honestly the best pedicure Ive had in a long time. My feet have been so swollen and sore lately (pregnancy) and this was just the pampering I needed. Thank you Hi! I will definitely be back here.

Review 7 (2024-12-24 - Rating: 5)
The absolutely, positively, 100% best pedicure in the state. You will leave feeling like you are floating on a cloud. Friendliest and kindest staff. We cannot recommend enough.

I’ve never been to a nail salon that paid more attention to detail than Only Nails. They go above and beyond to ensure that they take every step to make your nails last as long as possible and it shows! Before I went to Only Nails my nails would break or start lifting within or after the first week, now my nails last 3-5 weeks! Definitely schedule an appointment because they get crazy busy and the wait time can be an hour but that’s expected because they’re literally the best place in gainesville.

Great salon. Nice and kind service. They service you something to drink. If you have any problems they will fix it with no fuss. However I got my nails full set and toes - took 3 hours in total. I believe the lady n the guy were new. Hopefully next time, they can be a little faster. 😅 Definitely coming back. Great work.

I walked in for a fill and pedicure the weekend before my nephew’s wedding. They took the time to listen and recommend the perfect color and even added art work freehand that is beautiful! Very happy I chose Only Nails, thank you Henry and team!!!

Review 11 (2024-05-29 - Rating: 5)
Friendly staff, beautiful nails, and the most gentle but thorough pedicure I have ever had. My nails are almost identical to the inspiration picture. I love them!

Review 12 (2024-03-21 - Rating: 5)
Advertise opening at 9:30am. Not true. However wasn’t long after that. Hi took really good care of me…. He did a Great pedicure. Prices were really good and not over priced. I will definitely be back!!

Review 13 (2024-04-29 - Rating: 5)
I looked up nail salons and Only Nails was the top suggestion due to my location as I live close by.. and it happens to be the best salon Ive visited in town so far. Ive tried out a few others when I couldnt get into Only Nails last minute and none of the other salons even came close to the experience I have at Only Nails. First of all, Only Nails doesnt make you put your phone number into a system upon walking in; the staff actually greet you and are very personable with you. Secondly, Ive never seen Only Nails dirty! Always clean and comfortable! Thats something I havent found anywhere else in town so far. Thirdly, the prices are unbeatable for such a great service and experience. The staff have a very gentle hand and good eye to detail. The staff at only nails spend time on your service and dont rush through the process. Best leg/foot massage Ive gotten from a nail salon was at Only Nails. Never too packed and loud, very nice environment and people here. Your first choice should be Only Nails. No other salon Ive visited yet is as good as this one.

Review 14 (2022-06-19 - Rating: 5)
I came for manicure twice with Henna. She did an awesome job both times!! She is is very kind and talented, even gave me some suggestions for my nail design which turn out great. My nails were good for a month! I came back after a month because my nails have grown and wanted something new. I will definitely go back to Henna (See photos below).

Review 15 (2022-11-09 - Rating: 5)
Quite probably the best pedicure Ive ever had. The attention to detail was unparalleled. Really enjoyed the sugar scrub and the foot massage was next level. Also appreciate being able to try out a couple of different polishes to make certain the color was what I wanted. My only regret is that Im only visiting so I cant go here all the time. If I lived in Gainesville, this would be my number one nail salon. Highly recommend.

Review 16 (2024-07-06 - Rating: 5)
I called and was able to get an appointment as almost a walk-in.The salon was clean and comfortable. My technician was great. I love the massage chairs for pedicures. I had a deluxe pedicure, which included hot rock massage, mud masque, bubble salt bath, then of course a great pedicure with a favorite red polish.

Review 17 (2023-06-15 - Rating: 5)
I absolutely love this salon!! Every tech here is well trained and professional, you can’t go wrong. The equipment, facilities, tools and chairs are always clean and working. Not to mention you can’t bet their prices.

Review 18 (2022-02-03 - Rating: 5)
Love this place!! the owners are so so sweet and remember all of their customers. its very new so they take a bit of time to do a set but it always looks perfect. the only place in gainesville I trust and my nails always last a month (dip powder)!

Review 19 (2024-01-16 - Rating: 5)
I’ve gotten my nails done there multiple times now. Staff is nice and helpful. Always done a great job and the nails last 2+ weeks when I am not too rough on them.

Review 20 (2021-10-28 - Rating: 5)
My best friend and i go here all the time for our manicures and they have never disappointed us!! the price is great and the service is amazing; the nail techs are so talented, 110% recommend!

Review 21 (2022-06-08 - Rating: 5)
They were so friendly and did such a great job! I got tips put on, with dip. They came out great. The top coat with the design peeled a little and when I went back in they immediately took me in and fixed it! Super happy with their customer service and they really do amazing work. I went in the week before for a pedicure and loved it.

Review 22 (2024-11-17 - Rating: 5)
Great staff, great prices, sanitary, best pedicure! I really appreciate the attention to detail.

Review 23 (2024-03-30 - Rating: 5)
Probably the best mani pedi I’ve ever had. I was a walk in and just wanted the most basic service, but they still took their time and did an incredible job. They didn’t have the color I really wanted but I didn’t complain, and they still found a way to make my nails look even better than I could have expected. Everyone was so sweet and the quality couldn’t have been better. So appreciative for their kindness and level of service!!

Review 24 (2022-02-14 - Rating: 5)
This is the best nail salon I’ve ever been to. The service is amazing, all the staff are kind and friendly and I was even offered refreshments while I got my nails done. But the best thing is the price, it’s the lowest I’ve ever paid for a full set, and their work is also amazing. It was one of the best sets I’ve gotten for the best price. Please go here I cannot recommend enough.

Review 25 (2022-09-01 - Rating: 5)
Visited twice. Both times had excellent pedis! My tech, Hi, may have been the most methodical and thorough nail tech I have ever had. Will be back! Allow a bit of wait time, but totally worth it! Next time I get the cat eye polish.

Review 26 (2023-05-21 - Rating: 5)
I came here after my nail set was completely ruined by a different salon. i came in close to closing and the lady was so generous and was happy to fix them for me. they are exactly what i originally wanted and i am in love with them. i will be returning for all my future nail appts 😊

Review 27 (2023-03-23 - Rating: 5)
Only nails is easily the best nail salon I’ve found in Gainesville. Everyone is super nice and meticulous making perfect nails (and I’m picky about little mistakes). I’ve had dip and gel and both have been great.

Review 28 (2023-05-22 - Rating: 4)
New to Gainesville I was looking for a nail salon and Only Nails had more positive reviews than others I researched. I made an appointment for a pedicure and a full set with designs. I showed a picture of what I wanted and they delivered. Ill be back.

Review 29 (2022-03-18 - Rating: 5)
I decided to try a new nail salon and went in today to get an acrylic gel manicure and gel pedicure. My nail tech,Henry made me feel so comfortable and did such a fabulous job. He was meticulous and knowledgeable.

Review 30 (2024-09-04 - Rating: 5)
Exceptional salon. Fantastic leg & foot massage and left with pretty pretty toes! I make time for a pedi when I come to Gainesville from the panhandle. :)

Review 31 (2021-10-23 - Rating: 5)
Ann was absolutely amazing. I was able to get acrylic on my nails. First time ever. She was gentle took her time and quality products. Sanitary, calm, and serene atmosphere.

Review 32 (2024-01-31 - Rating: 5)
These are my favorite nails I’ve ever had! They took their time and actually knew what they were doing. Will definitely be going back!

I got my manicure done with Harry at New Years Day. He is super professional and has been in this industry for over 10 years. My manicure has been lasted for almost a half month without pilling and it looks perfect.This is how my nail looks like right now.

Review 34 (2023-07-16 - Rating: 5)
Incredibly happy with my nails. Everyone was so nice, and they were so detail oriented. And it was so affordable! Definitely my new nail place :)

Review 35 (2023-09-22 - Rating: 5)
Was recommended to Only Nails by a co-worker because her nails always look so good! I couldn’t be happier with my experience, I’m super picky and I have to say my nail tech did a phenomenal job! She paid great attention to detail and listened to what I wanted! Very nice and clean place!

Review 36 (2024-01-10 - Rating: 5)
I had such a wonderful experience today visiting the nail salon. I went in for a pedicure and acrylic nail removal/gel manicure. I’ve expressed with nail salons before when I’m in a time crunch and I did not want either of us to feel rushed but I also really wanted my acrylics removed. not only was my pedicure one of the best I’ve ever had but my manicure came out just as lovely even with the time crunch. I can’t wait to go back when I have a clear window and really enjoy the experience of the nail salon again! The attention to detail was refreshing and I’ll be back. Thank you!

Review 37 (2023-01-24 - Rating: 5)
Thoroughly enjoying my new glazed donut nails💜✨ Anna did an awesome job. Definitely my new favorite nail salon in Gainesville!

Review 38 (2024-01-07 - Rating: 5)
A wonderful place to get your nails done! My technician paid a lot of attention to detail and he did a great job on my pedicure. The classic pedicure is far from basic - it’s a great way to treat yourself and relax. I highly recommend Only Nails!

Review 39 (2024-04-03 - Rating: 5)
First visit today. The owners and staff are very sweet and attentive. More importantly, the pedicure I had was the best Ive ever had.... By far. I highly recommend Only Nails!!

Review 40 (2023-02-14 - Rating: 5)
The best pedicure and foot massage I have EVER had!!! And Ive had many! The tech Hi did a phenomenal job cleaning my ingrown nails, cuticles, and calluses in addition to the best foot massage ever. His wife Hannah did a wonderful job on my husbands feet. She was gentle and took in consideration his very sensitive feet and toes. Highly recommend this place and will be back again!

Review 41 (2024-04-21 - Rating: 5)
Excellent pedicure & foot massage. Hi took extra care with a difficult toenail which I so appreciated. Salon was clean, and everyone was friendly. I will be a repeat customer.

Review 44 (2023-12-19 - Rating: 5)
Very nice, clean, and great prices! I have gotten dip done here a few times and each time my nails have come out great! Only Nails also uses great products for polish, gel, and dip.

Review 45 (2022-03-11 - Rating: 5)
My new favorite place! I have very high standards for a properly done manicure as I look for someone who has attention detail. I’m that annoying customer that if my nails don’t look straight or filed right, I ask them to please let me borrow the file while I “fix it”. That did not happen here! I was here today for the first time after being recommended by a friend and wow! 😍They did an excellent job. Everyone seems to be very nice and so sweet too. Love my gel manicure! Highly recommend.

Review 46 (2023-12-18 - Rating: 5)
Came in without an appointment and was helped right away. The nail tech took the time to compare two colors I was in between and took her time providing excellent service and attention to detail. Very pleased with my experience and will be back!

Review 47 (2022-11-28 - Rating: 5)
The absolute best experience I have ever had getting my nails done. So much attention to detail. I received a dip manicure and my nails are smooth and the perfect thickness - plus it covers my whole nail with no gaps on the sides! Love this place!

Review 48 (2022-06-13 - Rating: 5)
Great service and reasonable prices! Nails are Perfect!! Definitely will be returning!!

I love going to only nails and getting my nails done by Ann. She does an amazing job and takes her time to make them perfect every time!

Review 50 (2023-09-16 - Rating: 5)
I love Only Nails! Everyone is kind, service is always top-tier. They never rush and I’m always pleased with the results. My gel pedicures last without any chipping or lifting! The only place I’ll go for a pedicure.

Review 51 (2023-04-14 - Rating: 5)
Always 5 stars!! The people are awesome and great at what they do! I have a standing every 2 week appt with them. I wont go anywhere else! Im moving to St Pete by end of May. Trying to figure out how to get them to move too!! 😉 Hands down the BEST nail salon Ive ever been to!!

Review 52 (2024-02-04 - Rating: 5)
I took my mom for her birthday and we had a great experience! Very friendly staff, nice prices, and my set is my favorite so far! Will definitely return! :)

Review 53 (2022-01-21 - Rating: 5)
Just when I thought I would never find a great nail salon, I found this place. I had almost given up hope on finding a good, quality nails salon. All the other places I went were trash. Rushed, nails popping off and lifting after only a couple days. This place is great. They take their time, make sure the job is done correctly. Great quality. I have found my home at this nail salon. Fantastic work. Its been almost three weeks and I can go another week before I need a fill in.

Review 54 (2022-12-28 - Rating: 5)
Henry and crew did an amazing job with my mani pedi. I don’t remember the name of the young man who did my much needed pedi, but he did a really amazing job in ALL aspects of the pedi. My toes are beautiful now and the massage was amazing! He really took his time, probably more time than I desired to stay there, but it was worth it for the result I got! Yey Only Nails!

Review 55 (2022-07-05 - Rating: 5)
Consistently great pedicures! I always make an appointment, sometimes there’s a 10-15 minute wait- I’m always offered a beverage during that time or at the start of my appt. My nail tech never rushes through our appt to get to the next client- (even if she’s running a few minutes behind), which I really appreciate that! I get the Gel polish (no issues with chipping) along with a deluxe pedicure (hot stones and paraffin dip)

Review 56 (2022-07-08 - Rating: 5)
Our family had the best experience here! This was the most thorough and enjoyable pedicure Ive had. The nail technicians were so kind and did an excellent job. Highly recommend!

Review 57 (2022-01-12 - Rating: 5)
I had the best experience with this salon! My fiancé and I got pedicures together, then a mani for myself. They helped me try out different shades of pink polish since the original pick of mine turned out translucent. They spent so much time on me and their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. I will definitely be returning in the future!

Review 58 (2022-08-26 - Rating: 5)
I was overly satisfied with the service i had received here today! i called in and asked if they took walk ins and they were quick to answer my call and they had availability for walk ins aswell , i was greeted as soon as i came in with smiles and very kind customer service, henry did my nails and i couldn’t recommend him more! i showed him my reference photo and he did exactly that! and i have a fingernail that grows crooked (i know crazy ) but he accommodated my worries about it being crooked after the acrylic was on and made sure i was satisfied! great service!!

Review 59 (2022-03-09 - Rating: 5)
Henry did a wonderful job on my acrylic fill and pedicure. He was careful and meticulous in fixing the chunky set I had before from another salon. My nails now look absolutely perfect and natural. If youre in Gainesville, this is the place to have your nails done.

Review 60 (2021-12-14 - Rating: 5)

Review 63 (2022-09-19 - Rating: 5)
Update: unfortunately everyone and their mother has found this spot and there’s never not a wait anymore. I love this place but they’re getting too busy. If you want to go here you WILL need an appointment.Amazing experience every time I go.Staff is super friendly and thorough.The first time I came by they were super excited to have me there as they weren’t busy at all, I was the only person in the store, and each time since they’ve slowly gotten busier and busier, which is good for them.

Review 64 (2023-01-22 - Rating: 5)
One of the best pedicures I’ve ever had and I go every 2 weeks. They take their time, don’t rush, and give full attention to the time you are there. It’s a true pedicure service not just a scrub, paint, and go.

I they were so professional and quick to service. I came as a walk in on a Saturday and although they were a little busy, they managed to get to me within 15 minutes. Ms. Anne was great with my full set and design. She gave me exactly what I asked for and did not rusht through. 10/10 would recommend.

Only Nails is the best nail salon in the area. Over the last few months Ive been to over 6 nail salons and they never seem to get it right, until now! I definitely recommend Only Nails.
