Galaxy Nails

After some time, I don’t plan on returning. Once I became a regular my lady started to give less effort. She began cutting corners and paying more attention to other people in the store. My latest acrylics are appalling, a week after, and they started falling apart the day of. I plan on searching for a new nail salon.

This was my first time here and the salon is very nicely decorated and seemed very clean. My mom and I came in for pedicures.
This is the first time I’ve seen a nail salon line the bowls with a plastic bag. It made me feel a little more comfortable with getting a pedi done since it keeps the bowls more sanitary and your feet are the only ones that have been in it. I would have still liked to see them to be disinfected since it still has jets but I’m not sure on how it works being that it’s the first time I have seen this, so maybe water doesn’t flow through the whole system. Luckily I didn’t need her to use any implements (cuticle pusher, nail clippers, cuticle nippers) on me since I didn’t need any polish or clean up done. I didn’t see her grab clean implements once she finished with her last pedi. The massage and sugar scrub felt amazing. They also do a little massage with hot stones and a hot towel.
I had Linda, at least I believe that was her name, she was very nice and we made some small talk. She talked about where she went to school to become a licensed nail tech and we had talked about the school I had gone to for cosmetology. She was very sweet and I would definitely be back to see her for another pedi. It was a relaxing experience and very nice since it has been a long time since I’ve had someone else do my pedi.

I am a nail biter and picker. I went into Galaxy Nails and spa and they made my hands look better than they have in years!!!

The staff was really nice. The woman that did my nails did a nice job. I have been trying to find someone to do my nails LIKE I WANT THEM. I would recommend!

DO NOT GO HERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES UNLESS YOU ENJOY SHADY BUSINESS. Based off of other reviews, I came here for a full set. The person who did my nails not only burnt my fingers by staying on my nail too long TWICE (for which he profusely apologized) but he also CUT the skin surrounding my nail on THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. One of which was so bad that even now, a week later, there is still a large scab. My finger bled quite a bit to the point where the tech had to have another tech come over and finish after about 5 minutes of holding pressure to my finger and putting some blue liquid on it that stung very badly. My nails are now lifting in several places, something that does not happen for at least two weeks if done well. As if that wasn’t awful enough, they STILL CHARGED ME FULL PRICE FOR MY NAILS AND OFFERED ABSOLUTELY NO REMEDY FOR HIM LITERALLY WOUNDING ME (at the risk of sounding slightly dramatic). I feel like the state boards would disagree with that decision. Especially considering it hurt quite a bit when it happened and continues to cause me pain as it heals since it is so prone to re-​injury and opening. I wouldn’t go here if it was the only nail salon on the face of the earth. They lack accountability and will still charge you when they physically injure you without a second thought.

It seems a lot of the 5 star reviews are specifically for Helen, who I’m guessing is the owner. I’m sure she does great work, but I can only rate the pedicure I had today. I don’t know the name of the woman who did it, because she didn’t speak to me. Now granted, I prefer it that way… but a little engaging would have been nice. I ended up getting the $ 40 pedicure because it included callous removal which I really needed. It also came with a paraffin wax and something else, maybe a longer massage? Anyway, the pedicure was just ok. The salon itself is very small. The spa chairs are extremely close together so I was almost touching arms with the stranger next to me. Everything in the salon looked old. The techs did not use new tools like I am used to at the other salon I frequent. I’m hoping they were at least sterilized. When my nail tech left me and went to someone else, I didn’t notice if she got new sterilized tools or not now that I think about it. The callous removal that I needed the most was subpar. My feet are not as smooth as they should be but I didn’t notice until I had left. They do a mask on your feet and a sugar scrub and hot rocks, all of which I believe are part of the regular pedi. The mask does nothing really. I’d rather skip that and just get a longer massage. All of the treatments result in your feet being wrapped in plastic bags which is not great for the environment. The polish options are not great. At least not as good as I’m used to at my normal salon. Overall, the experience was just ok. It was more expensive and not as good of a pedi as I’m used to and I will not be going back.

Having a pedicure today. Very clean and friendly. Prices are not too bad either. Coming back tomorrow for a manicure!

I haven’t got my nails done here but I did get my eye brows waxed twice by two different girls and in my opinion it was horrible I told her I wanted it thinner and she goes oh u look fine I won’t go back they don’t seem like they know what they are doing

Super friendly staff and a clean facility. Also very reasonable prices, I’ll definitely be back. :)

Paid a bunch of money to get my nails done for Valentines Day. I got fancy gem designs and gel put on that peeled in one day, I went back to get it fixed 2 days later they did for free of course. But still inconvenient to have to go do that when I was reassured that it would not peel even though I asked for actual acrylic powder to be placed instead of gel polish. And now about 2 weeks later I decided to take off the rest of my nails to get new set from my normal salon and low and behold I have green mold fungus on 4 of my nails!!! Ewww! I’ve been getting my nails done bout every 3 weeks for over 5 years. Trust me I know nails. I normally only go to my salon in NE Phoenix @Infinity on Greenway Rd. But since moving to Mesa I’ve been trying new places and this place I will never go to again. Even my toes have been having like weird stuff around them since I got the pedicure. I really feel bad talking poorly about any salon because I don’t like taking money out of anyone’s pocket but I also don’t think it’s fair for someone to pay to get fungus infections.

I love this place. I’m glad I found on the East side as I had my favorite nail salon on the west side. My acrylics always look beautiful and perfect! I get compliments on them. Steven is may nail tech always! The hand massage afterwards is just amazing!!! I will NOT go anywhere else on the East side but to Galaxy Nails!

Absolutely the best pedicure in town! The staff is friendly, and focused on your experience. The massage with the pedicure is the best I’ve ever had by far. I’m so glad I found this place!

Went for a pedicure and eyebrow wax with my mom. Being a Saturday afternoon they were a little busy but they were well staffed and got us right in. We opted for the pedicure with callus remover. They were very nice and wanted to make sure we were comfortable. The pedicure included a paraffin wax dip which I think made a huge difference. They didn’t rush through anything and did a wonderful job.
The older lady really took her time waxing my eyebrows and made sure she got every hair.
I’m very impressed and will definitely be back!

Very friendly and trusting. Touc did a great job on my nails and the young lady did a great job on my eye brows. All are very nice. I will be back. Thank you!

Great place, great staff! Got a simple mani for only $ 12 which is cheap and my friend got a full set of sparkling purple nails and that was only $ 30! Not too bad if you ask me! Would love to come back another time!

LOVE! Best set of nails and service I’ve received in the valley! I will be returning for sure!

Okay, I’ve never bothered to write a review before, but I had to!
I was a walk-​in and instantly felt welcome. The staff was so warm and friendly. I got a basic spa pedicure, which was anything but basic! They used this amazing smelling scrub, gave a great massage, and even used hot stones!
I got a gel manicure with a design on two of the fingernails which came out great. The technician could tell that I wasn’t thrilled about the color I chose for my toes, so she insisted that I pick a different one and she redid them!
My total came to $ 45, what a steal! So I tipped generously of course. Especially since there were two people working on me. I highly recommend this salon. I just moved here from Florida, and I’ve had to suffer through a couple bad experiences to find this gem. There’s not many good salons in Mesa and the ones in Scottsdale are too pricey. Galaxy Nails was amazing.
Go see them! You won’t regret it!

Am I allowed to say holy s*%!!! This place is amazing. I came in at 6:30 PM and they fit me in the schedule. They stayed open and they stayed late to finish my appointment and they ended up doing acrylics and gel overlay, the price was more than reasonable. I saw Helen’s husband and the talent blew me away, not to mention the customer service. The skill this man had was so awesome to watch and we kept a nice conversation going the whole time. I found out they have kids and work their asses off. I will only come to this salon, I asked for a difficult hand painted design and I wanted the nails shaped a certain way. It was not only fun to watch but it exceeded my expectations. Remember to take cash, they prefer tips in cash bc they pay fees on each debit/​credit payment. I told him I like natural nails, not too long and not too pointy, he did just that– this place is perfection and not too mention super clean! :)

I love my nails. I was recommended by a friend. Her nails always look great! Helen did my Minnie Mouse nails and I LOVE them. She took her time and did an excellent job. Salon was very nice and clean also.

Excellent, Quality, friendly service and super clean too!!! I love this place & have referred many people here!!!
Helen has been doing my nails for 3 years now and she ALWAYS takes her time and does an Amazing job!
