they were very good, and pretty fast!
Best service I’ve ever had
Needed a quick set and the price was good and they did exactly what I wanted to. Easy to communicate with my girl. I can’t remember her name. It was quick and the had lots of customers.
I came in from out of town for our cruise and needed my nails done last minute. This place was amazing. The staff was so sweet and very personable. Highly recommend!
Im new to the island and for very lucky finding this place! Kathy created exactly the vision I had in mind. 10 stars ✨️
Love the experience awesome work I would recommend bells when coming to Galveston
Go here regularly. Staff are lovely and always do a great job
Very professional, my stylist did an awesome job, took her time. They closed at 7, but was still there until 730, didn’t rush us out of there. We are from Iowa and want to bring them back with us.
Me and my sister lori and our new sister Sara came in to get our nails done for Sara’s wedding on Wednesdays . We are from Iowa and we absolutely love the good job they did. They took their time and did them the way we wanted them and treated us like queens. We wanted to take them back home with us. Very nice place
Excellent service very good with the kids and my self
Kathy and Mya were super super sweet and they did my nails super good. I just got a classic French tip and a nail design with a pearl and they did phenomenal. This would totally be my regular nail spot, but I live in Oklahoma and only come for vacation.
Kathy is AMAZING! she is so sweet and wants the best for every customer. please please go here for your nails!!
Amazing! I came into this nail salon with a photo of what I wanted on my nails (pink ombré design). Lily was so helpful with helping me find the perfect colors - we went through multiple options before landing on the exact color from the photo. She was very precise with the color, design, and shape and my nails look perfect!
Lilly and Kate was great. This was my first pedicure and it was great. My little girls nails look very beautiful.
Kathy was amazing. Very kind and great work.

Best nail salon Galveston! My husband had his first pedicure. He said he would come back again. I recommend this place to anyone!
The absolute SWEETEST ladies, Miss Vivian and Miss Kathy tag teamed my full set and pedicure so beautifully and efficiently, I will ONLY go here when in the Galveston area! They made me feel stunning before my birthday cruise, and treated my daughter and cousin well as they accompanied me. They both get 5 stars from me, absolutely talented and sweet!
I must admit that I had not been back to Bell Nails in ove 7 years, as I was less than impressed, but today's services with young Kate left me more than impressed! My feet are so very happy!
My first time going to this nail salon and I loved it 😍 they was very loving and welcoming with open arms. I will be back
Super great service! Everyone was so kind and talkative. Not the mention the beautiful nails we got! Great quality and they took their time while still working in a timely manner. Loved every second and would 10/10 recommend to anyone passing through Galveston 😍😍
Love them soo much!!! Highly recommend. It was my first time here and they did awesome!!!
My family and I came to Galveston, for Christmas week, and a few of us decided to get our nails done.

You will not be disappointed!
Kathy rocked my nails and Vivian gave me the best pedicure ever!! Great job!!!

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…
The ladies did a wonderful job with our nails. Very beautiful!!
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!
4 yr customer here. The salon is clean and the atmosphere is relaxing. NHI is my favorite nail tech.
