Royalty Nails & Spa

I had the most wonderful experience getting a gel manicure from Kim! After my harrowing experience at Helena’s in Denver, I was hesitant to do gel again, but Kim explained to me that she would take care of my nails and went on to give me one of the nicest manicures I’ve ever had. I would totally recommend her services and in particular her gel manicure which was very neat and thinly applied. I’m pleased to have found a technician whom I can trust with my nails!

Just had the worst manicure here. The tech, I think the owner, slammed the process in 18 minutes flat (during which she took a break to remove the shellac on another customer) Pushed back cuticles with out soaking, left dirt under my nails, didn’t use enough lotion/​oil during the terrible and obviously short massage that my hands were turning red. The polish is uneven and looks awful. I wasn’t expecting a spa mani but this was the worst, cheapest wham bam thank you ma’am I’ve experienced. I didn’t tip.

I took my N.Y.C mom to Royalty Nails. New Yorkers have the best nail salons, I know because I lived there. The owner Demi does the Best Solar Nails by far.
I went to Demi years ago, and after a long while she now is my only go to gal for pedi and mani. She is the Best!!!
My mother was so impressed by the way her nails held up after 3 weeks, she called from NY to make sure her nail gal in New York would do the same technique. Bravo to Royalty Nails!

I have been a regular customer for over a year. I started by myself, but now go monthly with my 86 yr old mom, and bi-​monthly we include my 89 yr old dad. Demi, Jess, Kim and Tony are truly kind, funny and thorough. The place is cheery, clean and welcoming and lots of options for mani/pedi’s at value prices. Can walk in, but better to call ahead if you can’t wait a bit when they get busy. Good attention to detail, especially cuticles and ingrowns after softeners and good soak: same towel used, yes; but then use a clean hot towel to get oils from a very good massage to penetrate, then use alcohol-​based spray to clean nails for polish, two coats plus clear topcoat. Simple mani is similar, but neat process to bring nails to a better-​than-​natural sheen. Yes, their first language is Vietnamese, but it never feels pointed at customers, just a natural part of their everyday lives; and they shift easily in and out to converse happily with customers, or to leave you to your own zen. TV gives diversion, or a cover to your conversations. I am a happy ongoing customer.

Another previous client used the word rude to sum up this place and I would agree and add that they aren’t very skilled at acrylic nail application.

I really like this place. Clean, great color selection and, best of all, the people who work here are go out of their way to make sure everyone is taken care of. By this I mean both times I’ve been there the ladies have stayed late to get everyone done. I have NEVER seen that happen at any other nail place. For me, people who go the extra mile like that deserve my business.

I had a terrible experience here today.
I went in for a pedicure and debated walking out without finishing the service. Three times I debated walking out.
The service was dismissive, fast and non-​caring, with little attention to detail.
The woman did not use cuticle softener and started pushing my cuticle back without my feet soaking and then unbelievably starting trimming the cuticle. I couldn’t figure out why it hurt so much so I paid attention when she did the second foot and that’s when I saw she used no softener. I asked about that and the «technician» said my feet were already soft enough because they had been soaking. They had been soaking the length of time it takes to remove the polish. About 45 seconds. Not acceptable.
She did not rinse my feet with clean water before she started the «massage» portion of the service; she simply dried off my feet with the SAME dirty towel she had my feet resting on for the cuticle/​skin removal. That was disgusting.
It gets better.
I looked at my feet before she started putting on the polish and there was still dirt in at least 4 of my toenails. I started trying to pick it out and then discovered tons of dead skin that had not been removed. I was thoroughly disgusted and couldn’t wait to get out of there. She was still using that same dirty towel. She acted annoyed that I was not going along for the ride and hustled me out of there at 5:10, even though they close at 6:00 and no one else had come or gone the whole time I was there. This whole time two other «technicians» were there and they were playing along with the Family Feud game show and it felt like they could have cared less about me as a customer.
It appeared I was an imposition to their free Saturday afternoon. I was in the car getting ready to leave when they left and locked up at 5:15.

I have been going to this salon forever. great attention to detail. good choice of gel polish colors. I am very very picky about my nails and demi is great. Jesse also gives a killer pedicure. The price is great as well. I used to pay way too much for a half decent manicure, for someone who gets their nails done every 2 weeks price matters.
I would call ahead so you don’t have to wait. There are also a lot of regulars I often see the same people in here and they know most people by name :)
