Glam Nail and Beauty

I’ve been here a few times, and it’s a solid mani pedi experience. They’re always watching a movie in there, so you can watch Mrs. Doubtfire of Bridget Jones’ Diary while they’re beautifying your nail beds and whatnot. I had a great experience when I asked for nail art for the 4^th of July — the girl nailed it (ha!) and they lasted seriously 3 weeks. Why 3 stars you ask? It’s just way too expensive. I think my mani pedi ran me € 80? Granted it was shellac with nail art on my hands but still. I was offended, that’s just far too much when there are places in town that do € 12 – 15 manicures and € 20 shellacs. If they lowered their prices I’d definitely return, but I can’t justify it.

I’ve been getting my nails done here for a couple of years now and I just love it. The girls are very professional, welcoming and great fun. I work in retail and design so between lifting, typing and making pieces I put my nails through a lot. I get acrylics done every month, they always last until my next appointment and I constantly get compliments on my nails after I’ve had them done in Glam.
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well priced, quick and fun place to get their nails done in the city centre :)

I have been going to Glam Nail for the last couple of years and I find the whole experience extremely enjoyable and relaxing. The management and staff are always very welcoming and chatty. The service is brilliant, in all my years of coming here I’ve never had a problem, the prices are also very reasonable. I would highly recommend Glam Nail and Beauty to anyone.

Excellent service at very fair prices, walked in for gel nails and the girls were extremely welcoming, the technician took her time with each nail and managed to give me amazing looking nails without it taking ages to be done.
They have an excellent selection of colours too.
Definitely coming back to the place for another go!

Got my nails done here today, but never again. I walked through the door, absolutely no greeting, not even hello. There was 1 other man in the salon at this time getting a manicure, who happened to turn out to be the owner/​manager, and no greeting from him either.
I was getting a gel French manicure done, the girl who was doing them, did not speak during the hour and half session, and I mean did not speak. As I was sitting there in silence, one of the other beauty therapist came out from the back room and decided to lay herself out flat on the pedicure chair playing with her phone and watching some of the movie on the tv.
Half way through my extremely uncomfortable and intidatimg manicure, the owner/​manager decided to have a pedicure behind me, absolutely no interest in his customers, only himself.
The beauty therapist finished my nails which to be fair I am very happy with, I went to the counter to pay, she put the payment through (I paid by card), putting my card back in my bag, looked up to pick my receipt and it was left on the counter, and the girl was gone, no thank you, no goodbye, nothing, walked out the door saying to myself never ever again. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. It’s back to many of the other friendly customer service nail bars in the city centre. This place is tasteless.

Came here with my best friend for manicures on a trip home last week. It was fantastic!
The interior is really cute, clean and inviting. The staff were lovely. The manager was really fun and chirpy and the nail girls were very pleasant and made customers feel at ease instantly.
My manicure turned out brilliantly, as did my friend’s. I have one or two tiny chips after a week, but I guess that’s what I get for doing a boot camp class and working in an office with sharp folder edges everywhere… overall, my manicure seems to be set to last me quite a while.
Prices were good considering the ultra-​convenient and expensive-​ish location.
Will definitely be back when I’m home again.

I got a manicure here on Saturday. The place was very busy and they could do with more seating for people waiting. Staff were friendly and the beautician did a very careful & skilful job on my nails. I chipped it pretty quickly though and wondered if it had enough drying time. However I would try them again as the paint job was so perfect!

Had my first pedicure ever here a few days ago, and it was bliss. Before I booked I asked how long it would take, cause I don’t see the point in spending thirty quid for ten minutes of treatment. I was told its take 45 – 60 minutes and it did. I was there over an hour (including allowing my polish time to dry) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. They have amazing specially designed pedi-​chairs with massagers built in. It’s awesome. Staff were great and chatty, and I enjoyed the movie they had on telly. I kinda made the place homey and relaxing. Will definitely go again, my feet are all pretty and soft and scrubbed.

Glam Nails nails glam!
I can count the reasons on one very well-​manicured hand.:
1. Pedichairs!
I made an appointment here based on the recommendation of a friend who had been here, had a great mani/​pedi, and knew that they had spa pedicure chairs. In my book, these are requisite to a true pedicure, yet surprisingly hard to find in most of the nail salons I’ve tried in Dublin City Centre.
2. Colour me Glam. They also have the widest selection of polish that I’ve seen in City Centre. This includes gel and OPI (which is the best in the biz).
3. Hands on. Even if you’re an Olympic athlete, you’re only as good as your equipment. Fortunately, their staff stacks up to their gold standard supplies and setting and does an expert job.
4. Helping hands. Great customer service. Everyone — even those not directly involved in my treatment — was friendly and welcoming. Just call to schedule at least a day before. A prior reviewer visiting town gave a low rating after being unable to walk in for a treatment. In my experience, this place does a steady business and an appointment is a must.
4. Pretty in Pink. The staff and the décor make this a fun place to be. They know how to pamper you. I could do without the movie playing on the flat screen, though. Some glam music videos would hit the nail on the head.

Reading the 1 star review saddens me, as this is my favorite place to get pampered! The gals at Glam Nails go over and beyond to accomodate you and make you feel your best. I am a regular there, I usually call to make an appointment just to make sure I can get in exactly when it fits me but sometimes I have walked in and they have been able to slot me in right away or at least within an hour or so. I always take advantage of their great mani/​pedi offer for € 50, great price for the fantastic job that they do!
The place itself is decked out in pink with fancy chandeliers and they always have a girlie dvd on to enjoy while they do their work. They have a long counter with stools where you get your manicures and these AMAZING massage chairs with a foot tub for your pedicure. A few times I have been in and they are busy so they will send two girls over to me to work on my hands and feet at the same time while I’m still in the massage chair — the ultimate pamper session!!!
Still kind of confused about the 1 star review as they don’t have beds? Maybe she went to a different place… every time I have been there they have been so wonderful and do offer a services card, your 4^th service is 20% off. I have also been in there past closing time and never felt rushed to get out before my nails were dry as the girls clean the place top to bottom every night before closing up. Just wanted to put my two cents in for this place so the other review doesn’t scare anyone away as they have always provided a great experience for me!

I was so excited to go and have my nails done… I wanted a relaxing day and wanted to pamper myself. I stopped in front of the store, but didn’t see anyone. I tried the door, but it was locked. It was around 3 p.m. and there was no sign saying that they were closed. So I thought, I’ll go do my shopping and come back a little later. I stopped by sometime after 4 p.m. and I saw a staff member (I assumed it was a staff member because of the uniform) laying on a bed in another room. I tried the door again, it was still locked, and the staff member made no attempt to get up, so I called it quits and found some place else to have my nails done. I was really disappointed because it didn’t say that it was by appointment only.
