Nails and Spa at Dadeland

I would give 0 * if Unilocal let me. This salon was recommended by our hotel Marriott Dadeland when we stayed there for a wedding. I had my nails done on Sunday & by Tuesday my finger was incredibly swollen & turning black around the nail! I spent 2 ½ hours at urgent care & was put on an antibiotic for the infection I was called four days later when the culture came back & was told that this was a more serious infection than they had thought & needed different medication. The report said it was a bacteria from «fecal matter». Since I had already left the Miami area I called the salon & gave the station # & manicurist’s name but since I paid cash the man at the desk basically told me I couldn’t prove I was there ! Really?? Wasn’t looking for anything other than for this not to happen to anyone else.

I’ve been here a few times now and my nails have turned out great every time. Last time, I swore I wouldn’t go back because PARKING was a NIGHTMARE! I tried somewhere else and was so disappointed I came running back :-). Khan is great and when I get gel tips it looks so natural and thin. He also works very quickly.
One thing I will say is, if you go for Khan, be prepared to wait at least 20 mins but he’s totally worth it! I’m giving four stars because parking is still a pain.

I love this place! I’ve been coming here on and off for two years since I moved to the Dadeland area, they do an awesome job with manicure and pedicure. The staff are very kind, I recommend this place to everyone.

I’ve been long overdue to write a review for this nail salon. I’m picky when it comes to where I get my nails done, and I’ve probably tried them all, but this place is consistently reliable. First of all, these have to be the nicest people ever, the owner is always there, always friendly, always remembers you, and will always work to get you in and make sure you’re happy. At this point, I’m sure I’ve gotten my nails done with everyone who works there and although some are better/​more attentive than others, I’ve had a good experience overall. You really cannot beat this place when it’s clean, the people are so nice, and you can get a decent mani pedi for $ 30! It’s a simple, no-​thrills place, so you may want to invest a little more if you’re looking for a luxurious, treat yoself nail spa experience. But it’s great for when you need a no-​fuss, relaxing, quick mani pedi.

Awesome!!! Great value, awesome customer service, and very clean!

I highly recommend this salon! First, you are treated with such genuine kindness… and Ken (acrylic fills) and Henry (pedicure) are not only gentlemen, but they are so experienced that they do an expert job flawlessly and very fast! I started 9:30am Sat and was out with both fills and pedi at 10:50 including dry time! The prices are very good too… so glad to find a place close by with such wonderful service! They are one of the very few salons in Miami where all the staff is so nice and they truly want to accommodate you! And I left with beautiful nails! See for yourself… my photo I posted here — red fingernails with the bright yellow background! Just beautiful!

Walked right in, no wait, on a Sunday. Standard ambiance. My pedi was good, no complaints. I wanted to do a mani, too, but the technician had to be told 4 or 5 times to striaghten up several nails when he was filing, and I just thought I would cut my losses and spare us both the frustration. My natural nails were uneven (hence the need for a mani), and I just wanted a simple mani. Sigh.
I noticed no one actually sanitizing the pedi chairs, that was disturbing. Just a wipedown, and on to the next one. Had to dock 3 stars for these offenses.
They do appear to have lots of regulars, so I’m sure its a good spot (even though they don’t sanitize between clients)

I have been coming here for approximately 5 years. Mai and Ken have really made this spot such a friendly place to come.
I always call to make an appointment to make sure they aren’t too busy. Ken always makes sure I get in to see him when I am desperate. Ken and Mai both do an amazing job with the acrylic nails.

I actually like coming here — though there’s a language barrier, the manager and the rest of the technicians try their best to communicate with you and make you feel like your business is appreciated.
The prices are normal for a Pinecrest establishment. The service is speedy and your nails come out great.
However, when you get gel nails, you don’t get the massage or the full «manicure» experience, even though you’re paying $ 25 — so it’s more expensive because of the polish?
They also don’t have a huge selection of colors — for a normal manicure or gel. I’ve had to settle for another color when I go because they don’t have the color I’m asking for.
Great place — I’m a consistent customer. Fix that glitch though. I want what I’m paying for and more colors!

I had been here before to get my eyebrows done a couple of times. Then I figured out I was better off doing them myself and keeping my $ 20 or so a month in my pocket. They only change the paper on the waxing bed if you ask them to. The wax wasn’t bad just not the best.
I recently came back to get my nails done. Though they did a nice job, I felt hoodwinked by the price list classic nail shop style. I asked for gel but there was no difference made verbally or on the price list for using the opi gel on acrylic. The price list said 35 and it ended up being 52 with the Opi. My tech may have gotten a tip if the guy at the front desk was better at servicing guests and updating the price list instead of being on his phone. Other than that he did give me a 5 dollar discount. I don’t usually get my nails done and these prices are why.

Went in for an impromptu brow wax. It wasn’t crowded like most nail/​wax places here on a Saturday. Mai was at the front and immediately asked how she could help and a minute later she was doing my eyebrows. She engaged me in conversation, was very kind and polite. It was a lovely experience. Will be back to try their nail services.

So I was in the area and looked on Unilocal so see nail places open on Sunday. This place pooped up with decent review so I tried it. First, they are friendly here I will give it that much. The place just isn’t clean. I saw a lady finish a pedicure and leave and all they did was spray down the pedicure chair with water. Is that sanitary? I think they should be using a cleaner not just 3 seconds of water.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! AFFORDABLE AND I LOVED MY EXPERIENCE! One of the nicest nail salons in Miami. I’ve been to a lot of nail salons trying to find the right one. I like to say you can tell when a nail salon is nice from the moment you walk in. Amazing service, Beautiful nails, and the best prices I’ve seen in the area.
Like all nail salons, some of the workers are beginners and won’t be as experienced as some others. However, this place is welcoming and if you communicate what you want to the managers who speak English fluently – you get exactly what you ask for! They work really hard to make sure you leave the salon happy with your nails. This is definitely a place where it is worth being a «regular.»

Having read the previous reviews i was a bit skeptical about coming here. I went ahead and made an appointment anyways because im a see for yourself kinda gal. I would say that my first experience here was great!!! The staff is wonderful and I was extremely happy with my mani and pedi.
Had my feet done by Marie. I’m always on the run and she was quick and tedious! From cuticles to massage to painting. I couldn’t have asked for a better job.
My mani was done by Mai. She was also great. She helped me match my pedi color with my gel polish and did an amazing job on my mani.
I will def be back more often.

No question this is the worst manicure I’ve ever had. The man who did my nails, I think Hui, did not push back my cuticles, file my nails straight, or paint the entire surface of my nails. When I asked him to cut them a hair so they’d be equal in length, he cut the first one so short I had to let him cut the rest to match. He then joked about how short they were.
After painting the first layer, I pointed out that he didn’t paint all the way to the sides, and so he did fix that by glopping on tons of polish that he later cleaned by wrapping a sheet of cotton dipped in remover around his nail and digging around mine… leaving smears around all edges of my nails. When he finished and I asked him to fix just one that hadn’t been shaped well, he rubbed it with his nail and told me it was fine. I was speechless.
I feel terrible saying this, but I want future people to be aware, his hands shake and he makes up for that by gripping painfully tight — which doesn’t help in the color application.
There was practically no massage on hands or feet.
He was a sweet older man, but I don’t actually think he could see my nails. I have no idea why he works in a nail salon. Especially on a Sunday. Two days before Christmas.
Finally, they did not offer a refund. I could have stayed to have it redone, while my 3 family members waited, but chose not to do so. Honestly, one sister has bubbles on her nails, my mom’s nails were not cleaned up and are smudged, and while my other sister got a good paint job, the manicurist didn’t clean or file well. I will never return and wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Nothing out of this world but I will say my manicure lasted longer than a week. That right there was worth the money. They are very good at basic mani/​pedi. If you want a special design or for them to replicate something you saw on Pinterest, you get blank stares. Location is convenient and price is fair at $ 30 for hands + feet.

I feel like I just paid $ 12 for a five year old to do my nails. There is nail polish all over my cuticles (as depicted in the posted photo) and they are not properly filed. My thumb nail is basically sideways. I also chose a light color for my nails and when I asked the nail technician to please do a 3^rd coat of nail polish, she simply said no. LOL! OKAY LADY. I definitely won’t be coming back here, no matter how convenient the location is. For $ 12, I’ve had manicures ten times better than this (Beyond Nails). Trust me ladies, it’s not even a mile away and so much better (same or better price too).

I was in Kendall so I could go to Dadeland mall and decided to stop in for a quick mani-​pedi first. Very happy with my experience here! The owners were pleasant and friendly. I got a gel manicure and a pedicure, and my nails and toes looked great! Great service, good work, and $ 20 less than what I was spending in Brickell. Definitely worth the drive if you are tired of paying for over-​priced service and rude people which is common in Miami. I will be back!

This place is relatively cheap. But my gel manicure, which usually lasts two weeks, was chipping within a week. Not happy. I’d rather go elsewhere and pay more for a good job.

Went there yesterday and had the worse pedicure in my 50 years, it was an older lady and my friend that also went had hers done by an older gentleman which was just as bad… we paid $ 20 for a foot wash… the owners were very nice and spoke English but they have to know the pedicures are bad, they didn’t ask «how was it?»
We of course didn’t get the manicure, paid and left… had to eat a whole burrito by myself at Chipotles just to get over my disappoiment ;)
