Galaxy Nails in other cities:
This place is awesome. I will never go any place else. The gentleman that did my nails was amazing he offered me a drink made sure while doing my nails that I was ok and that he wasnt hurting me like most salons do. He showed me a better way to get what I wanted. He took his time thank you for the great experience.
Not only did I feel COVID safe due to their safety protocols, I had a lovely woman care for my nails. I was fortunate to get the owner! My nails were beautiful. And now, nearly three weeks later, still no chips or fading. I choose this salon due to the reviews of others. Hoghly recommend them to you.
I had a wonderful experience at Galaxy Nails from the moment I walked into the door until I left. The spa is sparkling clean, the staff is friendly, and punctual. My pedicure was top notch and relaxing. They have the reputation for a reason and I’m happy to have found them!
Galaxy Nails is a chic store that offers quality nail care. Though an appointment is needed, it is worth the effort of making an appointment. I have been there twice and have been pleased with both experiences so I will continue coming here for all my nail needs.The prices are comparable to other places in town.I would recommend this place to anyone in Blo-No looking for a quality nail salon.Update: I just went to their new location and it is BEAUTIFUL!! The staff is still amazing and the quality of the work is why my husband and I will still go Galaxy Nails for our manicures and pedicures.
I love galaxy Nails! They do such an amazing job on your nails and they check in with you throughout the process to make sure you like what theyre doing and to ensure they arent hurting you at all. Ive gone there a few times and will continue to come back for more. This is an amazing establishment, that takes into account covid guidelines and makes you feel safe. They were voted the best nail salon in Bloomington 3 years in a row and I can see why. You will have to call at least a week ahead of time because, since they are so amazing, they book up fast!
Not a relaxing experience at all. They are clearly understaffed because my nail tech was rushed the entire time and skipped important manicure steps like soaking my hands, pushing cuticle back, removing dead skin, etc. My nails are beautiful but look overgrown and the skin around my nails is dry. The massage I got during my pedicure was extremely rushed; I did not feel cared for. I just felt like he wanted me out of his chair. Stop exploiting your workers! It shows. Will not ever be back.
I have been getting my nails done here for the past few months, and it is the best place in town! They always make sure that you are getting what you want through the whole process. I have gotten acrylics and gel polish done here and it has been perfect every time. My nails always look great for 2 or 3 weeks and I always get compliments on them! I think that for the service that you get it is very reasonable price wise.
I came in to Galaxy Nails after reading the good reviews. They did NOT disappoint. They were very thorough even with the basic pedicure I got. The salon was very clean (and socially distanced) and the staff was very kind and attentive. They are the best Ive been to here in town!
I could not recommend this place enough!!! Ever since the first time I got my nails done here, Ive religiously gone back and wont go anywhere else. They do an amazing job of remembering and greeting you by name when you come in. Despite how busy they usually are, they all are so friendly and accommodating. They even remember to make my strawberry margarita for me each appointment! On top of all of that, their skills are top notch. Ive never walked out of this place being less than estactic about how great my nails look. Every time. Quality place right here.
Great first experience. The salon is clean and cute. The staff are friendly and professional. I was asked multiple times throughout my appointment if I was comfortable, if I liked the color, shape, etc. It was busy at 11:30am on a Friday so I think appointments are a must. Will definitely be back.
I started going to Galaxy Nails about a year ago. And they have never disappointed! I get exactly what I want and the quality of work is the best around. I bring my 8 year old daughter with me sometimes and they treat her with just as much respect as any adult. Seriously the best pedicure in town! I recommend this nail salon to all my friends and YOU!
Galaxy Nails is truly amazing. The service and prices are amazing!! The salon is so clean and nice. My nails turned out beautiful!! I recommend making an appointment, as they are not a huge salon, which I LOVE. I didnt feel rushed. I really cant say enough good things about this salon. I do want to add, have cash or check for tip. You are not able to add tip to the credit/debit card transaction. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I cant wait to go back!!
I enjoyed myself here! I had a gift card for 50$ and pays an additional 15$ for a gel pedicure. Found it a little pricey but it wasn’t a bother because I had the gift certificate. Professional, clean and friendly setting. Beverages offered and I’m pretty sure they’re complimentary. My biggest problem was the lack of entertainment. If they played something like HBO movies I would have given 5 stars. Listening to classical music was different and unexpected. Friendly staff. Tons of color choices and services offered. Gel came out well and had stayed on now for three weeks.
I absolutely love the owners of Galaxy Nails! They create such a welcoming and warm atmosphere and I always feel so pampered. No complaints whatsoever. They do a beautiful job, and my gel manicure lasted longer than ever before. Im so excited to bring my mom here next time she visits!
Ive been to Galaxy Nails several times for pedicures and eyebrow waxing, and they never fail to impress! They have done a very good job every time I have come in, and their customer service is wonderful. Everyone there is so friendly and sweet. I highly recommend coming here.
Both times I have visited, Ive gone in as a walk-in. I was always greeted and seen relatively fast. Liam was my nail technician for my pedicure and Mike did my nails. Both were friendly and had a good rapport with the staff and the clients. Everyone takes pride in their work and the prices are fair for the quality. Dont forget to bring your tip in CASH! I look forward to visiting again.
I just had one of my best, if not the best, experience getting a pedicure and nails being done. I live in Alabama and am in Bloomington visiting my son and family. I just lucked out finding Galaxy Nails. It took a bit getting an appointment, but it was well worth it. I see now why they are booked up. Linda is the best. She took her time and did a fantastic job. Price was very much worth it. This will be where I will be getting my nails done when in Bloomington. Just wish they had a salon in Alabama.
I am a cross country truck driver. Stuck in town for a few days and really needed my toe nails cut. Last time I was at home, my wife refused to touch my feet, so she told me I needed a pedicure. So, while I was here for a while I looked on Google Maps for the closest nail salon from the Pilot truck stop and found this place. First time pedicure and I have to say it was a great experience. Staff was friendly and courteous. Took their time and made me as comfortable as possible. I recommend this place to everyone. Wonderful experience and didnt break the bank.
Galaxy is by far the best nail salon I’ve ever been to! Everything about the salon I love....the tidiness, cleanliness, location, and decor. Khan and Kevin are awesome along with the rest of the staff- fun and professional! Their customer service is phenomenal!! The best part I love supporting a local salon! I absolutely recommend everyone to go there! Galaxy for the win 🤩
I set up an appointment for my now fiancé the day of our engagement and she had nothing but wonderful things to say! Even while I was setting things up here before hand, I felt like they went above and beyond to provide an excellent experience just for me. They are very welcoming and such friendly people!I encourage anyone to give Galaxy Nails a shot for your next appointment.I rarely write reviews, but this place deserves it for superior service and hospitality!
I highly recommend Galaxy Nails! I’ve been to a number of nail salons in the B/N area over the years, but Galaxy is my “spot” now! The nails consistently turn out great, but the service is always wonderful! They are friendly, offer you beverages (including margaritas!) & have a variety of services/polishes to choose from! You won’t be disappointed going to Galaxy nails!
Best nail salon I have ever been to in my life! I am greeted by name every time I walk in and I am so lucky to have found Kevin! He knows exactly how to shape my nails and takes his time to make sure everything is perfect. I never want to get my nails done by anyone else! Would recommend to anyone looking for a perfect manicure!
I visited here a few months ago to get a French gel manicure and it quickly became my new favorite nail salon! All of the staff are so nice and welcoming and my manicure was amazing. They really took their time with getting it just right and just how I wanted it. They put my hands under the light several times to ensure it would last well and it did! This is the only place I can go to for a gel manicure that lasts 3 weeks - I end up taking it off because I need to cut my nails, not because it’s chipping!
My mom brought me here once and I havent gone anywhere else since. I tell all my friends that this is the place to go. I have gone to Twins, Head to Toes, and castle off and on before finding this place. There service is incredible and the staff is so friendly. There gel I swear last longer than anywhere I have been. There pedicures are amazing and for the same price as other places in town you can get an essential oil pedicure which is specular. I have time to go as much as I would like but every-time I do I am never disappointment.
Galaxy Nails is the best nail salon in the Bloomington/Normal area by far. The service is great and the salon is very clean which I love. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by name and all of the employees are always friendly and kind. Lots of nail colors to pick from and they serve wine and margaritas. What more could you ask for?!?
The staff at Galaxy nails makes a point to know you by name and welcome you when you come in! They are so sweet and offer you a drink while you get your nails done. I cant recommend Galaxy Nails enough, they are the best! Manicures and pedicures are always done with focus and precision!
The owners and staff of Galaxy Nails have their customers’ wishes as their highest priority! They have created a calming spa-like environment, and treat each patron to a relaxing and fun experience. They even offer wine, margaritas, or bottled water! I will be returning for years to come for my manicures and pedicures. You should too; you won’t be disappointed!
I had followed my nail tech mike over to galaxy the first year went great. but when I came in without calling first to get a color change. the owner denied me and told me they were booked. mind you they open at 10 and I was there by 10:22. i was told mike had an apt at 1030 and was busy with a different customer at the moment. first every time I make an apt with mike he has never been on time for me. not that i have ever cared if he was on time or not, but dont kick me out for a simple color change that anybody in the salon can do and especially when he is never on time for his appointments. the owner was rude about it and all she could say we are booked. dont have a salon if you cant accept walk ins. especially when there are so many salons around here that will gladly except my walk in. . .all the owner wants is people to make an apt. i have never seen her accept one walk in for as long as i been there. i love my nail tech mike but i refuse to go there and give the owner my money especially when i am a regular customer and i was willing to wait or come back for something so simple. i was really blown away that she turned a regular customer down and how rude she was with me. i will never come back i didnt deserve to be talked to with an attitude and looked at like Im stupid because i walked in wanting a color change. moral of the story dont come here and become a regular they dont care
Update: I spoke with the manager same day as appointment. He apologized profusely and gave me a full refund for my pedicure. He even made sure all of my bridesmaids were satisfied with their experience before we left. After speaking with him he made my experience alot better. I will definitely be back after the quick turn around of fixing my problem.I booked an appointment for 4 people 5days the day I wanted my nails done for a no chip Mani and pedis for all 4 people. This was for my wedding. I started with a pedicure, I was not offered any of the packages that go with the pedicure. I did get a hot towel but no foot or leg massage. They rushed through my appointment. I was done before all of my bridesmaids and they were offered the packages, which two of the choose hot stones. Even though I had booked an appointment for my toes I didnt know if I would do my toes because of money issues. However I decided to do it because it was for my wedding. I wish I would have cancelled the pedicure because I could have done what they did at home on my own. I am not one to write reviews but my experience really upsets me.
Just had the best pedicure ever! Im here visiting from the Chicagoland area and I REALLY wish you all were in my area! For those of you who live around here, you need to make this your nail place! They give you a complimentary drink, whether its water, wine, or a margarita! The massage that I received during my pedicure is the best massage I have ever gotten during a pedicure. Its the cleanest nail salon Ive been to, and all of their polishes are organized by number. A+++. Will definitely go back if Im ever in the area again! Prices are the same as any other nail salon.Thanks for the awesome experience!!
Ive never posted a review about a nail salon but wow! They really care about your nails here. They take the time to make you feel relaxed and get the end result you want. Theyre also very reasonably priced so thats always a plus. Ill be going here for all my nail needs now!
Khanh Tran is AWESOME. I thank you very much Khanh for fixing the disaster on my fingers from Market Street Walmart nail salon. I appreciate you being kind and understanding to my lack of knowledge on nail art. The lime marguerita was great and my nails are fabulous. I am never going anywhere else.
Hands down the best nail salon in Bloomington and Normal area!!! Every time I go in there it is soo relaxing and such an escape. Their customer service along with the quality of their services is unparralled. Not to mention the spa is extremely clean! Kahnh and Kevin are simply phenomanal and they make every client feel special and make sure they leave happy! I would reccomend to anyone and everyone
I went to almost every nail salon in Bloomington-Normal looking for a salon that had wonderful service, technicians who would actually talk to me, a good color selection, and a salon that didn’t make me feel like just another dollar. I have not been to another salon since I found Galaxy Nails! I get acrylic nails/fills, gel manis, regular manis, and pedicures, just depending on what I’m feeling. Khanh, Kevin, and their team have always done a truly phenomenal job! The attention to detail and care they put in to their services is remarkable. Galaxy Nails is a hidden gem in Bloomington!
A bit of context; my wife and I took a trip up to Green Bay for our anniversary to see the Packers play, and on a whim got an appointment for pedicures at Lodge Koehler, a high-end spa. It was a wonderful experience, have no doubts.But I’m confident in saying that the spa that services the Packers, as high-end and swank as it was, honestly was outmatched by the pedicures we’ve gotten at Galaxy Nails. The techs here are friendly and warm, and do an immaculate job. They show the sort of care for your nails that you’d expect from a dental hygienist when they clean your teeth, but without the pain, and a nice massage.tldr; Galaxy Nails consistently offers resort-level services at budget prices. Bloomington is lucky to have them.
Galaxy nails is the best place in Bloomington normal. I would recommend any service they provide. It’s very clean and they treat you like family and make sure you are comfortable along the way. I’ve been to several places and this place hands down, beats them all! Shhh don’t tell anyone how good they are!! ;)
Best salon in Bloomington Normal! Great customer service! I struggled for years to find a good salon that does great work and give great customer service. Khanh and Kevin go above and beyond to make sure their customers are happy! Do yourself a favor, go check them out!!
I absoulutely love galaxy . My fave place to go in Blono. The passed couple times I have been turned away because I didn’t have an appointment which was my fault . It’s better to just make an appointment to make sure you can be seen . There was also a misunderstanding where I wanted a pedicure but only got a toe polish change . They apologized . I will be back they are better than every one else in blono .
Never heard of a small nail shop that don’t take walk in nor do they state anywhere that it is an appointment only business and were not very accommodating and acted just like they did not need my business. As a vet I find it very disrespectful to treat anyone like this and will see to it that my fellow vets don’t do business with this place.
Professional, Courteous, Punctusl and Skilled. You will find these qualities and more at Galaxy. Kahn & Kevin are often willing to go and beyond to ensure their clients are pleased.Adult beverages are offered when being serviced and prices are competitive. Appointments are recommended because the volume proves difficult for walk in customers.

2022-06-12Very friendly, courteous, and professional staff. The salon is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and all proper hygiene protocols are followed. My nail technician was super sweet and was really good at her job. Every technician was focused on the customer they had and paid close attention to them. Lots of service options. They do not accept walk-ins so appointments are required. Tips are cash-only.

2022-01-11After years of hopping around from nail salons, I finally found a nail salon to call home ❤️ I have been going to Galaxy nails for several years now. Not only do they provide exceptional and consistent service, they treat you like family and appreciate every client! Their new location is stunning! It’s large and roomy with a touch of elegance that helps you feel safe, clean, and able to relax during these crazy times. I think would be a great place to host a small party of pedis etc. I also love the variety of colors and brands they have to choose from and they are very organized making it easier!! Did I mention the owners are the sweetest most hard working couple?! And the staff is also very friendly, fast, and skilled. 10 out of 10 recommended Galaxy Nails!!

2022-05-25Every time I visit this nail salon, I always have a wonderful experience. The staff are very friendly and check in with me often to ask if I like the temperature of the water, the color, nail shape, etc. They are gentle and always listen to what I would like. The quality of services is always exceptional.

2022-03-15The absolute best nail salon in town! The customer service is absolutely amazing, and they even know you by name if you’re a regular. Nina always does an amazing job on my nails and I will definitely be a returning customer as long as they are open! The new location is absolutely beautiful

2022-03-04I have been coming to this salon for a few years now and I’m always amazed by the quality of their work, but even more so by their hospitality and kindness. The owners Kahn and Kevin are some of the sweetest people I have ever met. Nina is amazing too. They always make sure to ask the whole way through the service if you are satisfied with the work so far, if they are hurting you, etc. I came into the salon yesterday for a full set and pedicure thinking I had an appt. Turns out, they did not have me in their books because I accidentally messaged the wrong salon in a totally different country to set up an appt 🤦🏼♀️ They not only made room for me in their busy schedule to do my full set and pedicure, but they also didn’t rush the appt and my nails turned out amazing. I probably thanked them a million times for doing this, as I am leaving for vacation in a couple days. This salon is unmatched. 💓

2020-08-28I was very happy with my dipped nails. The nail tech constantly asked me if I liked the color, if I liked the shape, which proves a high emphasis on customer satisfaction! The nail tech took extra care to preserve my nail bed being that it was my 3rd set of dip nails and my nail was long but thin, I really liked the attention to detail there! The highest note I will say is that unlike 2 of the other nail salons in town, this place uses the dip top coat like they are supposed to, vs other nail salons that put a clear gel top coat on top of dipped nails (not the correct method for dip nails). I like to minimize UV light and loved when I found out about dip nails. I would recommend this place!!!!!

2022-01-15This is definitely going to be my new nail salon. My lady was so sweet and she did an amazing job. She made my natural nails look like acrylics. Also, her attention to detail was much appreciated.

2022-03-18Their services were absolutely incredible! The environment was very relaxed and clean and the nail tec executed my idea perfectly.
