Arenal Nails

Carolina is so lovely and a talented nail artist. I received a very high quality manicure and pedicure. Scheduling was easy over WhatsApp and friendly/easy for American travelers. This is a small 1-person salon but Carolina makes you feel welcome and at home. Very grateful for her services!

I’m on vacation from Texas and I got my nails done in Costa Rica for my surprise engagement shoot here at Arenal nails. She did an amazing job and it looks exactly like the reference photo. I’m obsessed with how they came out. This is definitely where to go if you’re coming from out of town.

Yo gusto mucho mi unas. Mucho gracias, es muy perfecto!

Super professional and very customer friendly. Carolina did an accurate and precise treatment with beautiful design. My nails on hands and legs look and feel just great!

Carolina is so talented at what at what she does and she is such a kind person to speak with, too! I was traveling and my nails were starting to look pretty bad. I showed her a photo and she made it happen! She did such a wonderful job on my nails, even repairing one of them. They turned out SO beautiful.

Carolina was amazing!!! She was so sweet and did such a detailed job. I wish I found her before our last day in Arenal or I would have come back for a pedicure. I love how my nails turned out—perfect timing for Christmas. I would highly recommend her nail services!!!

Best manicure I’ve ever had away from home - cannot recommend enough!! Takes her time and I can tell will last a long time. Also such a lovely woman!

The woman who runs this shop is so sweet and professional and my nails came out amazing! Her prices are some of the most affordable you’ll find in La Fortuna and it’s only a 5 min walk from the downtown strip. Highly recommend!

I had the experience to have my nails done today by the sweetest and most detail oriented woman. Not only is she amazing, but also so kind. I would highly recommend going here. Not a big salon. Just her. But my nails look amazing.

Carolina is the bestest and nicest! She is also a super mom!
My friend and I were almost at the end of our vacation and in need to fresh manicure. We were so lucky to have found Carolina. She was so welcoming and patient. We had no issues using Google translator to chat. I asked her for a blue butterfly design, she drew the butterfly from scratch and added so much details. She is truly a talented nail designer that is super rare to find.
Thank you so much Carolina! 💙🦋✨💖

Im really happy with the service! We searched last minute and karolina was very accommodating.
I love the designs and she was very perfectionist.
I definitely recommend

This space is exceptionally clean and felt comfortable. My friend and I contacted Carolina the nail technician via WhatsApp; she responded (in English) within minutes. Upon arriving to this residential neighborhood when you walk in you can see her nail certificate on display.

She charges the locals and tourists the same amount. Her freestyle nail design is exceptional and my gel manicure lasted a record 3 full weeks. Carolina cares and takes the time to make sure you’re getting what you came for. I would highly recommend anyone coming here. I can't wit to go back! (The photo is Carolina's work, just not on my hands).

Carolina was so lovely and communicative. Being a non Spanish speaker, I was able to use google translate to book an appointment on WhatsApp and use it to have a conversation while doing my nails :) one of the nicest ladies I have met in Costa Rica! Her daughter and dog were so nice and friendly! Her house is wonderful and clean! Highly recommend

Carolina is amazing! You must book here if you're in La Fortuna 💅✨

Carolina and America were so accommodating in welcoming us into their home to do our nails. They were so nice and they did a great job at doing nails! I would totally recommend them! They are only a 5-minute walk from the city.

I walked around La Fortuna in desperate need of a pedicure after traveling in Costa Rica for awhile. Carolina and her daughter America were very accommodating and fit me in without an appointment. I told Carolina she would have to come back to the United States with me because she took a lot of time and did a better job at tending to my cracked heels than anyone I’ve gone to at home! The environment was very welcoming, friendly and clean. Great pedicure and even better people! Would highly recommend.

I can really recommend this nailstudio a lot! The responded very quick on Whatsapp (english) and the place is very clean. They are so nice and made us feel like queens! The nailart is very professional and beautiful. Thank you Carolina and Americana!

Beautiful nails & awesome owners

Wonderful! So nice and very helpful! Definitely go here! You will not be disappointed. 😊

excellent services, highly recommended⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This place is a must! Even if you don’t regularly get your nails done… this is an experience you don’t want to miss. Carolina is so sweet, so kind, and does her job with more skills and grace than most. I took my daughter for her 9th birthday and I also got my toes done. (the pictures of our nails were taken several weeks after we got them done) Carolina was patient with us as we choose multiple colors and sparkles at no additional cost. she made sure we were comfortable and was beyond pleasant to chat with. she gave great advice for other things to see and do in the area and recommendations for the best supermarkets. Best of all Carolina helped us feel like her favorite people. we want to come back again and again. love you Carolina. Thank you for becoming a forever friend. 😊

¡Este lugar es imprescindible! Incluso si no te arreglas las uñas regularmente... esta es una experiencia que no querrás perderte. Carolina es tan dulce, tan amable y hace su trabajo con más habilidades y gracia que la mayoría. Llevé a mi hija por su noveno cumpleaños y también me operé los dedos de los pies. (las fotos de nuestras uñas se tomaron varias semanas después de que nos las hicimos) Carolina fue paciente con nosotros ya que elegimos varios colores y destellos sin costo adicional. ella se aseguró de que estuviéramos cómodos y era más que agradable conversar con ella. ella dio buenos consejos sobre otras cosas para ver y hacer en el área y recomendaciones para los mejores supermercados. Lo mejor de todo Carolina nos ayudó a sentirnos como sus personas favoritas. queremos volver una y otra vez. te amo carolina Gracias por convertirte en un amigo para siempre. 😊
