Had the best experience here today for my birthday! Made the appointment for 3 pedicures and manicure and they fit us all in at the same time. Went great and finished all on time.
Kim was awesome as always!
Amazing service
They were great with my 4 year old. Very sweet and good work done.
I arrived in Galveston after arriving from the east coast and broke a nail on the plane. I called Bells to see if they could fix my nail and they immediately were able to take me. They did a FANTASTIC job fixing my nail and the price was so reasonable. I am so happy I found them. They really saved the rest of my…

Kim is very skilled! I deal with diabetes and Kim has been efficient and safe. I lived in California and visit every 4 to 6 months! She is better than the Podiatrist when it comes to to a pedicure! She joked that she may die before I get back. I said, I will you to live!! Are be in heaven to find her for my Pedicure and Manicure!!!!!
Thanks to Kathy for getting my nails right! I’m so satisfied I will definite back. I love love love them so much !!
5 Star service! Ms. Chi brought my nails 💅 back to life and she's very gentle. Major shout-out to Ms. Lena for the tremendous job that she rendered on my legs and feet. When I came in, my feet 👣 look like I'd been kicking alligators 🐊 . She massaged me so, that I fell asleep. Now, I'm walking on air. I'm so…
Wonderful service!!
Cathy did a wonderful job with my nails. They gave us a special treat for Christmas and for my birthday. My nails and toes turned out great and they did a wonderful job.
This is the only nail salon I will ever go to in Galveston. Their nail polishes are of high-quality and not expired. I love getting the gel on my hands and on my feet. I get the gel on my feet and it could last me up to a month with no chipping. I enjoy getting the gel on my hands and it has never chipped or cracked…
What an amazing experience!! Amazing job! Super fast too! And the people are so nice!
Kathy took her time with my pedicure and my manicure. She was friendly and took pride in her work! I'll definitely use them again if I'm in town! Update..I came back and Mia gave me the best pedicure I've ever had, no exaggeration.
love!!! first time getting my nails done in forever, and i’m super impressed. the techs were all so gentle and kind. definitely going to return! “I feel prettyyy, oh so prettyyy🎶”
Everyone was very friendly, and my mani and pedi came out perfectly!
The ladies here did an amazing job!!! So happy many nails look beautiful!!!
Took their time and paid attention to detail. Lily and Kay were very accommodation and interested in making sure my nails were just the way I wanted them:)
Hands down the BEST nail salon to go to on the island. We come down here to work at the port a few times a year & I absolutely LOVE coming here to be pampered. They are quick to get you seated, it’s always clean, and the customer service is amazing. Today Kathy, Mia & Lena took such excellent care of us. I showed…
Kim and Tan did a great job.
Great experience from Lily! She’s awesome
My Mom and I go together and we love it. Best mani and pedi on the island.
We are clothing vendors for the yearly motorcycle rally and had a day to kill before the rally starts so we decided we needed some pampering. The ladies were very friendly and did an excellent job. They took their time and made it very relaxing.it was the girls day we needed after setting up at 600 square foot tent in the park!
These services were outstanding!
Such a great selection of colors and effects and art. The ladies were so sweet and careful
I stopped here to relax for a bit and get a nice pedicure. Vivian made my experience wonderful and so relaxing!! I’ve never had such a wonderful experience at any other place i’ve been to. She is so sweet and amazing at what she does. She’s very caring as well and just overall the sweetest lady! :)) My feet look so good and my hands look great!!
I tried a few different nail shops and Galveston and this is hands down the best one. The staff is friendly, kind, and they take their time. They know they're repeat customers and they take very good care of you
Love this place, every time I come here with my mom, Kim and Katie always give out great service
Love the service at Bell Nails and Spa! Great experience and love my nails by Chi!!
They did an excellent job on my nails
Super friendly, clean and professional. Always a positive experience.
Love this transparent pink gel (looks like my dog likes it too lol). Thank you Lily, and thank you to the 2 great techs who hooked me up today!
I love all the employees at Bell Nails. They are always friendly, professional and do a wonderful job.
Lucy and Mia are my go too for pedicures they are amazing at what they do. Kay is my nail girl!! She is Always always super nice, sweet, attentive!!! I love this place will definitely keep coming here!!!
Came in for a quick mani with my daughter. She did such a cute design for me!
Very relaxing and gentle.
So cute and amazing!! Lily is amazing! Such a wide variety of colors and options!
Did a great job on my nails.
Came from out of town and needed a quick Mani / Pedi for a photoshoot. These ladies did an incredible job and were very kind!
Vivian, Tan, and Lina took great care of us. Super attentive service, easy conversation, and not a single detail missed. The place is spotless. We’ll be back for sure—our nails have set the bar too high now.
Clean, calm and relaxing salon. Amazing nail techs. No matter who does your nails it will be the best. Everyone is treasured and treated with respect!
Amazing service , feels like a new make over ,
Kathy was so amazing and I was super happy. Im here from NZ and desperately needed nails fixed. Service was exceptional. Thank you again Kathy x
Vivian and Lena did a fantastic job on my manicure and pedicure. This was my second visit when I returned to town for business. I would recommend Belle, ask for these ladies. They will treat you right!
Super great experience 👍 🙌 👌 👏 😀
I had my wedding mani and pedi done by Kathy, and she was absolutely fantastic! She paid such close attention to every detail and made sure my nails were perfect for my big day. Not only did she create a beautiful, elegant look, but she also made the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable. I couldn’t be happier…
Kathy did such a great job! Very detailed and loved the manicure.
I went in to get my nails fixed after a different salon didn't get them right. Kay got me fixed up and they turned out exactly how I had originally wanted them! So thankful for the easy fix!
Came here with my 3 girl friends and we all were attended so quickly and all of our nails came out so cute. Definitely recommend!
Great service, great prices, and careful nail service. I’m a guy that gets his nails done btw
The whole staff was amazing. I brought my two daughters in with me and most salons won’t do kids. They treated them with kindness and respect and showed them what princess treatment really is. They smiled with them laughed with them. All together was a get experience highly recommended
My first time in this place, and Annie hooked me UP! She took care of me and my sensitive finger skin and didn’t give me a hard time about it. I’ll be back next time I’m around, thanks girl! 💕
Overpriced, pushy, do not go for natural real nails. Mine were butchered. Given them multiple try’s, each time leaving disappointed. Last try I was so upset, I left and didn’t let her finish. Also left with numbs for nails, and a halfass pedicure. Never again.
Amazing service Anne and Kim.. I will be coming back::. Absolutely best pedicure and nail set..
Annie is amazing! She does a fantastic job at taking care of my nails. Tan has strong hands that are wonderful for massages. Kim is so sweet and gives extra attention to areas that need it. Vivian does a fantastic job at eyebrows. Overall love this salon!
Lucy was amazing. Went in for a pedicure and left feeling like a new person on the Island!! We come atleast once a year. Now I know where to come for my relax and rejuvenating experience!! Thank you so much!!
My first visit to belle nails was today and I was happy they did my manicure BEFORE my pedicure. I have asked other nail places to do nails first to allow them to dry while doing pedicure but they insist on doing pedicure first. I will definitely go back!!
Absolutely love this spot, amazing customer services. Vivian is so sweet highly recommend her. From the moment you sit down you feel so relaxed and just so welcomed!
Kathy and Lucy did the Fireworks Pedicure. I was not sure I wanted to pay that much but honestly it was worth every penny. They massaged my feet, arms, hands, shoulders. I was so relaxed I could barely stay awake. They did a fantastic job and my nails are beautiful. I would give ten stars if I could.
Good service. Looks great!
Our New place to get cruise nails!!!!! These ladies are super sweet and talented!!!
I will review over and over, but Kay did wonderful on my nails, I love how patient, sweet and knows how to make a conversation. I showed her a picture of how the frenchies I was looking for, and did exactly what I wanted, and even showed me different shades of nail bases.
Everything was great! The staff was amazing and took great care of me!
So good. Was right next to our hotel...they are so nice amazing service
What an amazing experience! Got nails done before we headed out on cruise! Beautiful nails and what a relaxing experience

My family and I came to Galveston, for Christmas week, and a few of us decided to get our nails done. All of the ladies and gentleman, at Bell Nails & Spa, were very professional , friendly, and did a fantastic job on our services! We highly recommend this place, when in town! You will not be disappointed!
Very attentive and detailed. I had a beautiful experience during my pedicure, acrylic soak off, manicure, and full massage. I left feeling very pampered.

My nails look amazing!!! Kathy and Jonh were super fast and quick with their work and were super efficient! Kathy did my nails and Jonh did my toes, super amazing for the both of them. I would come back with every opportunity I get!!
Giving 3 stars because I was half satisfied with my visit here. (EDIT: GIVING THIS PLACE ONE STAR. They really don’t even deserve that)! Kay did my pedicure and shellac on my toes. She was great and took her time attending to detail. (EDIT: When Kay was doing my pedicure, she attended to detail for the actual paint…
Vivian is an amazing manicurist. My hands and arms feel heavenly. She always makes my visit special.
Love all the tech clean environments
Kim did a fantastic job. I highly recommend her.
Great in everyway
Loved going here before leaving for our cruise! I was able to make an appointment and got a phone call reminder the evening before. The staff were very kind and so friendly!
Nice clean place and friendly atmosphere!
Always extraordinary service every time I show up. I have been a customer for more than 6 years. All of the ladies are very nice but I have developed a beautiful friendship with Lily. God bless you all
Very good, and very quick
We were visiting for the weekend and needed some girl time. We got pedis and acrylic nails. The staff was so friendly. I wish I could bring the whole place back home with me. I would definitely visit this nail salon again. My nails turned out amazing. If you're looking to get your nails done, definitely come here!
Today was my first time here and I loved the experience. Everything was done exceptionally well.

Kay is very patient and professional she did my nails exactly as I asked
Had an amazing pedicure from Vivian ! We will be back she took great care of us !
I absolutely ADORE this Salon! I’ve been a customer for almost four years, and I refuse to go anywhere else for my nails. I always book my manicures with Cathy, she is such a hardworking, kind, and caring nail tech. She remembers sets we’ve done years ago and it makes me feel appreciated as a client. Even when…
Great service! The people were very lovely.
Kay did an amazing job taking care of my cuticles and perfect massage and deep polish, I will be back to see you for sure . Thanks
Vivian did a great job as always with my nails and toes!
Great job on hands and feet

Walk in. Great job! Nailslook great
Good service. This the only nail shop I truly recommend
Lily did a Great Job thanks so much!!❤️
From the time I called to check if they accept walk-ins, to the chair, and on to the finished services everyone was kind and helpful. We really enjoyed our pampering before vacation. We will be back.
Really had a great Shellac manicure! Went with my daughter, made appointments and happy we did as they were definitely busy but, very much enjoyed the two ladies who did our nails and will plan to go back regularly!
10/10service and efficent
My daughter and I went in for a birthday, Mother’s Day Mani and Pedi. OMG!😱 I could not have asked for a better experience. I feel so relaxed after the pedi and my nails are so beautiful! Everyone is so sweet to talk with. When I am back in town we will back!
We love this place! Got us cruise ready with mani/pedi w/top of line products. I would have paid way more for what we got else where. This will be my go to every cruise.
4 yr customer here. The salon is clean and the atmosphere is relaxing. NHI is my favorite nail tech.
Brought all 5 of my family members for pedicures and nails. They were thorough and did an excellent job!!
Unfortunately, despite having a great recommendation to come here, my mother and I were not happy with our experience. The A/C wasn't on and the front door was open so it was humid in the shop. We weren't offered beverages as others who came after us were (perhaps since we only got basic mani/pedis). They were…
Great service, clean, friendly, and they do great work.
Nhi is AMAZING & soooo sweet! I have never been happier with my nails! She did a beautiful design worked me in last minute! Thank you so much! 10/10!
Nhi did an amazing job! Definitely coming back to her from now on.
Absolutely loved this place. It's clean and the workers have a great attitude. Definatley coming back!
Came to Galveston for vacation, never got my nails done before the trip so I figured I’d just get them done here in TX. I was very impressed with how fast, yet amazing my nails turned out and for a great price. Overall very impressed and would go there again!
I came into town for a wedding. Bell Nails got me right in with out an appointment and shortly before closing time. Very punctual, professional, very delightful environment plus very beautiful nails & toe nails I highly recommend Bell Nails & Soa Thank you 🌻
Terrible experience. All around.
Went for a removal of old set and new set to be placed. The woman ripped the old ones off ripping my nails underneath so I kindly asked to simply receive a manicure as 3 of my nails were literal bloodied ..so I wasn’t dare going to put a new set on top. I didn’t even ask for color polish because I was so taken back…
Very happy with their Service. Salon is clean. The technicians are friendly and I consistently get a great pedi and mani. Been going there for several years.
Bell Nail didn't give me good service at all. They rushed us because they had other people they bad to do because, one lady said the could fit them in, even through it was closed time. I got there at 4:20pm and didn't get accessed tell 5 lpm. We also had in appointment made. They didn't do what we wanted them to do.…
This is the best nail salon I’ve ever been to! My nails always look amazing, and the customer service here is excellent. Staff is friendly, professional, and very skilled. They also serve wine! If you plan to visit Galveston, skip the Houston salons and get your nails done here
Best mani pedi I’ve ever had in my life! They are ah-mazing!!!
Eyelash extensions were quick and done well in a very clean environment. Social distancing , masks and cleaning procedures are taken very seriously here. Thank you.
Super clean place! They were able to handle 3 walk in mani pedi with no wait and we all love the results!
Well we were reserved a spot here after the hotel spa tech called in. Walking in very nice and clean however my husband and I were disappointed while doing our pedicure. We both bled from our big toes due to tech cutting way to deep through the whole process they cut us numerous of times and really sucked. Horrible…
My wife and i try to go 1a month until covid. We have been back twice since they re opened. Very professional, always clean and love my mani pedis.
