Nails By Amores

This salon closed but Denise is still providing excellent manis/​pedis at a new location: 9586 SW 40 St, Miami, Florida 33 175. Call or text for appointment. I’d follow her anywhere! 786.401.7596

Place is closed down…

So, it’s just Denise now working from her home.
BUT she’s still awesome. I found this place through Unilocal (new to miami) and got a gelish manicure from her. Not only is she meticulous she’s really sweet, too. My nails chip super easily so they’re not really a good review for the standard quality of anything… but a week later and they’re still chip-​free!
I definitely recommend seeing denise if you want a great job done.

I had a great exerience with Denise!
With disaster after disaster I went to Denise. I let her know how upsey I was with my previous experiences at so many other places but that I wanted to try her out. She was super pleasant and she performed a miracle with the hands I had after all the craziness.
I got acrylics and shellac over them. I was told at a nail place whose name shall remain anonymous (Chris*** P**) that I couldn’t have that done… psht smh.
So far so good! I love!

So I went here the other day because my original nail lady was out of town. SO I decided to cheat on her with this place. They were really nice and the service was good. I had the Shellac done and it was done well. THe only one thing I didn’t like so much was the fact that my fingers also had nail polish on them still. Not all of them only some of them. But that wasn’t a big deal. The lady that did my nails she was really nice and patient. She had to redo them because something went wrong with the paint and she was very nice about it.
My pedicure was I don’t know. It came out good but I didn’t enjoy the experience that much. it felt like the lady was scrubbing my legs too hard. I felt like she didn’t pamper me like I have been pampered else where.
But I liked the place the staff was really nice and they were really clean and very efficient. I will definitely go back. I just wanted to say why I didn’ t give it a 5 star. But I will be going back.

I have been shopping around a while since I have been in Miami and I must say that I finally found a place that I will actually return to. I had my gel manicure and regular pedicure for $ 50 which is more than reasonable. I wanted to do my manicure with Denise but I needed to get it done on a Saturday morning so I went ahead with Anabel. She doesn’t speak much English but she did a good job on my nails and toes. But while I was getting mine done I saw Changy (for pedicure) and Denise (manicure) in action. They are definitely the best. I like the fact that you can book your appointments online as I did try and call twice and I was just told she was with a customer and would call me back (maybe they should get a receptionist if they are that busy). But overall the place is decent, no massage chairs etc but they do good work…

Nails by Amores is owned by Denise! Her and her staff do a wonderful job! I recently went for the first time because of a Groupon I had purchased and am now officially hooked. For $ 25 you will get the best manicure and pedicure you have ever had. They also do shellac manicures (which I’m a huge fan of). I did mine with Denise and am in love! My manicure looks absolutely flawless.
For my pedicure I go with Chandry. She does a great job! I’ve never had a better pedicure. For years I’ve been going to the quick no appointment needed nail salons that don’t require an appointment and never truly get a good pedicure, but because I don’t have to stress about making an appointment I just kept going.
Now that I’ve discovered Nails by Amores however, I will not go any place else!

I booked an appointment at Nails by Amores after reading positive reviews on Unilocal.I needed to make a change from the previous salon I was going to because I was tired of paying over $ 50 for a mani/​pedi.
Denise was quick to accommodate me when I arrived and I enjoyed the atmosphere. It is a relatively small place and the staff includes everyone in the conversation, which is nice. It’s a very nice, warm, inviting, latin atmosphere.
Ok so as far as the quality of service goes, I am very impressed and happy. I usually avoid nail salons overall because I feel as though they get a bad rap, but Denise and Anabel (i think is her name?) did a great job on my mani/​pedi. Also, their prices are VERY reasonable. I am a very satisfied new customer.
The only con was that I arrived at 5:30PM and left at 8PM, but I the quality of work compensated for this. I cannot tell the difference between Denise’s manicure and the über expensive upscale salon manicure.
For those who care about fancy décor and cutting edge nail salon stuff, this is not your Brickell/​Coral Gables over priced and mediocre nail salon. No fluff here, just good nail technicians who are also SUPER nice.
For all my Miami Unilocalers, do yourself (and your wallet) a favor and visit Nails by Amores. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Denise and her staff are fantastic. I’ve followed her everywhere she goes. Customer service, attention to detail and fair pricing will keep me coming back for a long time!

I just saw Denise at their new location. now called, Nails by Amores. If you want the BEST in shellac nails go see Denise. I’ve truly never had a better or longer lasting manicure. Im so satisfied with her quality of work. They try to accommodate you in any way they can when you want to just walk in. Thank you Denise for my perfect French Shellac yesterday! (i’ll post a pic) Oh and they have specials on weekdays for mani/​pedi.

I used to get gel manicures and my nails were getting brittle and dry. I went for a shellac manicure with Denise not knowing much about shellac and its benefits, I just wanted something that was going to last and not kill my nails. I came to Denise with little stumps as nails, hoping for a miracle. I havent gone anywhere else since. Denise and her staff are professional, always friendly and above all really good at what they do. I LOVE the French manicure and recommend everyone to get one with Denise. It will last over 2 weeks, sometimes 3. Also, appointments are easy to schedule. Just go online to the website and schedule. I’m always grateful and leave smiling.

I have been getting a shellac manicure and a regular pedicure here for about a year. Love, love, love them. Great price, great work. The new salon offers facials and chair massages! If you are looking for a place to get a Mani-​pedi look no further. I get my shellac manicure with Denise and my pedicure with Chagny… highly recommend.

I’ve had Sellac at a TON of salons, but Denise is THE BEST IN TOWN!!! The salon provide easy online booking and the owner is extremely accommodating! I first experienced Nails by Amores in July and will not go any where else for my mani’s and pedi’s!!!

My first Shellac experience was with Denise and she made me a believer!
I first went to her old location in an an office building on on a Groupon that was crazy cheap and hard to pass up. It’s nowhere near my neighborhood but close to my dentist so I went for it. She has since moved to 24^th street under Nails by Amores and I intend to visit her there soon if I’m in the area. My appt was at 10am but I assume she opens very early as there were a few gals finishing up as I arrived. I’m always a fan of extended salon hours. The office building location was difficult find but plenty of free parking. Once in the building, her location was also tough to find as suites weren’t marked very well. When I visited, most of the staff spoke little English except Denise but they were very sweet. I was offered water, tea, or Cuban coffee upon entering then shuffled into the small service room. The Shellac Mani took over an hour from start to finish which I find pretty normal. No complaints about the nails– they lasted a full 2 weeks chip free just as advertised! Colors were limited but Shellac is still a new product so I expect the options to expand soon. The only downside was the difficult to find location and small one room salon. She also collects emails and periodically sends out specials and promotions.
DON’T expect a super luxurious spa experience here. DO expect beautiful chip-​free nails for 2 weeks!

Like Jen said, Denise is very meticulous. I have been getting Shellac done with Denise for about 3 months and I am very pleased. Shellac is expensive ($ 30 for a manicure) and it has to be applied flawlessly or else it will chip and be a waste of money. Denise is as OCD as I am, so it is a match made in manicure-​heaven. She even has packages like 4 Shellac manis for $ 100 (usually the mani is $ 30) and other great specials. She is also up on the latest trends in nails and beauty in general. She really knows her clients well and is always looking into new services and polishes that we may want.

I’ve been getting shellac nails for a few months now, and had yet to find a place that could get my nails just right. Well, Denise is meticulous and even made a special nail color for me! Yes, that’s right, she made a shellac nail color to exactly match my old Essie «Wicked».

I bought the living social deal, and received the first text mess that the appointments had been double booked. i replied immediately and was given an appt for a month later. I was in no rush so I didn’t care. The atmosphere was very friendly and Denise was very nice. My shellac is still going strong, although I did chip one but that was my fault. I definitely plan on returning!

I have not even been to the salon, and I am already upset with how unprofessional Denise has been. I bought a deal through a «deal a day» website, and noticed when I went to schedule my appointment with her via her faulty booking system website that she ran this deal through multiple daily deal websites (which should have been a good indication right then and there that she was getting in over her head), and realized it would be two weeks would be the soonest I could get in to see her. Less than a week later, I received a mass text from her stating her booking system has malfunctioned and double booked everyone, so «first people to text her back can keep their appointments», while the rest had to wait out the rest of the week to hear back from her. I had to make it known to her several times what my schedule is, thinking she actually makes an effort to get to learn her clients a little bit. (Not so.)
After a month from the time I purchased this deal, I finally manage to book another appointment with her… After a month from the time I purchased this deal, I have finally made it to the day of my appointment, and yet again, another text… This time, it’s a request for me to come in at a time that my schedule will not allow, and I that obviously would not do. I tried to call her back immediately, and only got her voice mail. Needless to say, I have reached my limit: I do not appreciate a business that operates via text, especially if they are unprepared and constantly having to change and cancel appointments over the course of a month. I feel that Denise is taking advantage of the fact that you can’t get a refund through the website, and that people will feel forced to continue to try in the end. What she should understand is that salons in Miami are a dime a dozen, and should realize that these «daily deal» sites are merely a means of getting her on the map, it is up to her if people want to go back or not. I don’t care if the manicure turns out amazing — Once I get my money’s worth, I will NOT be returning, nor will I recommend this place to anyone.

Why do companies sign up to offer deals when at the end of the day they don’t want to honor them. If they won’t keep their word, they definitely won’t have my business. If thats how they treat a possible client who hasn’t even walked into the store yet, i cant imagine the service u get when youre actually there. Good luck to Denise and her nails! Thanks for the opportunity to try your services. NOT!

Amazing! Best nail place I’ve found in miami! I highly recommend her! My nails have always been super weak and they break all the time. She’s however managed to make them grow and keep them strong! I don’t go anywhere else!
