IQ Nail World

This is my favorite nail salon in Gainesville! I’ve been coming here for years and have always left happy. The staff are so sweet and the salon is clean, with a nice open space. KD and Wendy worked hard together on my set today. I showed them my inspo photo and KD started mixing polish to get the right color, practicing the technique, and Wendy took her time making sure her design application was perfect and that they were exactly the shape and length I wanted. I am obsessed with how they turned out! 🤎

I had my nails done by Kim this past Tuesday. The first photo shows the design I requested in yellow, and the second photo shows what I actually received—for $78. Unfortunately, the result was disappointing and far from what I asked for. This experience didn’t feel professional, and it seemed like the work was rushed rather than done with care or passion. I won’t be returning, and I sincerely hope the salon takes this as constructive feedback. Customers deserve quality service—especially when paying premium prices. Money doesn’t come easy, and I expected much better.

Everytime I come here, I’m blown away by the amount of talent and friendliness of these employees. I’m someone who works with my hands a lot, so acrylics only last 2 weeks-ish as apposed to the 3 they are supposed to, however, once I started coming here my nails last up to 3 1/2 to 4 weeks before i even start to see them lift, it’s quite incredible! The prices are extremely reasonable for a college girl! Everyone is super sweet and incredibly dedicated to excellent nails and service ! 10/10 recommend!

I been coming to Katie for about 3yrs now and to be honest took me forever to find a place after moving from south Florida. I am a picky customer my ocd gets the best of me but her and her staff have always been extremely patient and professional. They have a gilt Kim that if you are looking for nail art is good like Katie. I always come with some sort of picture idea that I want and so far have never been disappointed.

I have been going to IQ Nails since opening and have been seeing KD for years. I received high quality service whenever I go. It is one of the cleanest shops in Gainesville. My time is always relaxing and enjoyable. I haven't had any issues with any service I receive. I wish other salons would be like IQ Nails, but haven't found any better in town. Always professional and courteous. Any issues and they fix as soon as possible.
