Golden File Nails and Spa Downtown New Orleans

Wowowowowow! This may be one of the best manicures I’ve ever had. If I lived here this would be my go to spot. Walked in and they were booked but able to squeeze me in with Angel who was AMAZING! 🤩 Super sweet and an absolute artist. Plus I don’t think I’ve ever had my my dip soaked off this fast. 100000/10 would recommend.

I was on vacation and really needed my nails redone because they got messed up. So I did a walk in appointment they took me right away and my service from beginning to end was amazing. I added a design on layer through service and it turned out great. My nails look amazing and if I ever come back to NO and need my nails done again. I will be back.. I love great service and perfection on my nails..

Let’s get it ! I came all the way from DC and had an amazing experience from beginning to end! I spoke with Brandon a few days prior to my visit and he was very professional and informative about all services and setting expectations for my appointment booking. Once I arrived to NO their location was easily accessible and such a vibe ! From the decor to music selection! My friend and I were able to be stationed next to each other while getting our pedicures (which is always a plus in girl world). We were offered beverages and that of course that was a great touch for our first time experience! Brandon let me know that Angel would be taking care of me during my appoint and she did and outstanding job and was sweet and very friendly. They had the 90’s R&B vibes flowing and I loved it ! Highly recommend and will be sure to return when I’m in town !

I’m going to give 2 stars because the lady that did my pedicure did a phenomenal job. But my experience took a turn for the worst when they gave me a nail tech that is clearly new. Too new to be playing with people nails & just to sit in the chair is $70. I assumed for a base rate of $70 I would have no issues with being serviced. First he tried to build my acrylic nail which I did not ask for (that was the first red flag that he was clearly practicing) I asked him for tips he insisted I let him build so I’m like ok. The first nail was decent the 2nd nail was a complete mess so I ask him to take it off & do tips he’s STILL insisting on building it. So now I get him to do tips & he’s gluing them on my nails any kind of way. I wanted to scream!!!!! Because I’d already been here almost 3 hours & only had pedicure. I can’t speak for all the techs but the young kid with the curly too that’s died brown… I do not recommend. I discreetly asked the front desk lady was he knew & instead of saying yes or no, she asked me was there a problem… OBVIOUSLY because I wouldn’t be asking this question. Now my fingers are sticky and covered in glues and acrylic. Horrible experience

I went to New Orleans without a pedicure (bad decision but I forgot about my toes) and decided to walk in on a 1.5 break. Lucky for me, the very nice man at the register squeezed me in. I was skeptical about visiting a nail salon purely off a Goggle review but my toes were hideous so I took a chance. Glad I did. This place is cute, has a great staff, offered one of the best pedicures (no lie) I have ever had in my life! Brandon (believe that was his name) had THE BEST service and my technician (Peter, I believe) was a genius. Took great care of my feet and treated my toes like gold. Even gave me some type of wax/moisturizer treatment that still has my feet feeling soft. I highly recommend this place.
