Wonderful service and kind staff! Crystal and John were amazing! I can't wait to visit again.

Had a very relaxing time at Athena's. It was our first time at a head spa and we loved our experience with Bella and Yen. Afterwards we had a pedicure and gel manicure. John did a fantastic job with my manicure. Very good attention to detail. Will definitely be back! read more

Wow blown away with the fabulous service! At 1st I was a bit intimidated by how beautiful it is inside. Chris and Yen are fantastic! I absolutely will be back! They were on point with everything. I recommend this place to everyone! read more

TO ALL THE LADIES IN THE PLACE WITH STYLE AND GRACE (this salon is for you) impeccable aesthetic, great staff, flawless service, and the mimosas don't hurt. also, i hosted my daughter's 7th birthday party here and they went over the top to make her feel incredibly special. we reserved the 5 private chairs on the side, and they helped with decorations, made a special video for her, AND got her a birthday gift. my mom heart was so full. it was such an unforgettable experience for her and her friends. so much so that i don't think we'll be able to top it for #8, and i'm already anxious thinking about how i can come up with something that will even compare. s/o to tony for being one of the best humans and helping make it all possible! read more

I have been to quite a few nail salons, and Athena Nails truly checks all the boxes. The space is clean, modern, and stylish, which sets the tone the moment you walk in. The service is consistently great, and every technician I have had has been kind and very attentive to detail. They take their time and make sure everything looks perfect. Their pedicures are especially worth mentioning. They are incredibly relaxing and exactly what you need after a long day. What really makes this place stand out is the overall vibe. They host fun events like bridal parties, birthday celebrations, and even karaoke nights, which makes it feel more like an experience rather than just a nail appointment. I have been here a few times now, and it is officially my go to spot. Highly recommend if you are looking for quality work, great service, and a fun atmosphere all in one place. read more

Beautiful salon, the staff were all friendly and I did not have to wait long for my Pedicure. Midway to the service I asked for Gel X set so they prepped my nails at the same time as my pedicure and finished in the chair. The pedicure was relaxing, I still had some callous spots. I wasn't satisfied with my French tip and I wasn't aware it was an extra $15 charge for. French tip So I called and went back today to redo my polish. Brenda was great, she reshaped and matched the nail sizes for both hands in addition to the polish change. Great service! read more

I've come here to test out their head spa and pedicure and both services were really good! I loved the set up of the head spa as they have a full body massager and the person providing the service was very thorough. I really love the customer service here, they are very responsive and friendly. Tony and the staff are great. The salon itself is gorgeous and really clean. They really thought about decoration for this spot because it's gorgeous! They even had it decorated for Valentine's Day when I went. The pedicure came out really nicely! Would recommend if you're looking for a salon! read more

Probably the best mani pedi I've gotten. I went all out and did the top pedicure and it was so luxurious. Helen was my nail tech and she was the sweetest. Seriously will come back. The customer service alone is amazing. From making my apt to sitting and getting my service they checkers on me and the bf and made sure we were comfortable. I will make this my nail home base in Sacramento. read more

Athena Nails & Head Spa - Relaxing views while my toes get cleaned. - Nail Salons Near Me - Sacramento, California

The salon is absolutely stunning. It's not just clean, I mean stunning. I can only speak to the pedicures as I've only been once and that's all I had done but it was a great experience. My full trust and love for a salon also comes down to consistency so I'll report back as I go more times but for now, I love it. The one suggestion I have is for the techs to exfoliate/buffer the feet longer. Especially since I chose the package that specifically mentions that service. It still deserves 5 stars and the other parts were great but I like when salons really get in there. I obviously go for beautiful nails but I also majorly use pedicures to make my feet look and feel nice for me to then maintain. And last time it still felt a bit rough. I'll be back! :) read more

I got a builder gel set. Not only was the paint not clean the polishes are all over my skin my nail tech didn't properly paint as she went. I was getting a pedicure with my sister and they wouldn't let me get a different tech, that doesn't make sense to have someone do my toes that couldn't do my hands. Overall for how expensive I wasn't very excited about my experience here today. There were also fruit flies in our mimosas . read more

Affordable, relaxing, luxurious - what more could you ask for? I came here on a recommendation from an influencer, Hannie, who has been very upfront about her business relationship with this company. They seem really genuine and are even offering her a referral fee without her asking for the head spa services because so many people are coming in based on her recommendation. We love an ethical business! This place is Asian-owned, Vietnamese run. I absolutely loved my head spa service with Gem, she was a Filipino woman, and such a delight! I had the Clarity Crown Ritual service and it was perfect. Super relaxing and thorough. The massage chair/bed in the back was awesome and was on the entire time she was working on my head. I also loved the little touches of adding a blanket in case I got cold and a heating pad. There were a few facial-like moments but the products they use are very basic Cerave brands. I also think the shampoo was not of the utmost caliber. But, this is not a scalp massage, nor a facial, it is clearly advertised as a head spa, so expect a bit of everything but nothing in depth. I will say the laying situation made me a bit stiff after awhile, I definitely could not go longer than 30 mins. Also, I was warned that you may be walking out of there with wet hair because the blow dry is extra. In my case, they included it but it was not sufficient for my long hair. Walking out, my hair wasn't sopping wet, but wasn't bone dry either. read more

I got my nails done last Tuesday (5/5/26) it is now Monday (5/11/26) While the shop itself is very cute and aesthetic inside, I'm not sure how I feel about my manicure. Yes, he got the job done, but in the process, he cut my pinky on my right hand, and it still has not healed. It is bruised and overall not nice to look at. I'm concerned about how when I started bleeding, he put the tip from the bottle of alcohol (at least I think it was alcohol) directly on my wound which is extremely unsanitary. I hope you guys threw that bottle out and are not using the same one on multiple customers. The ladies (I'm guessing the owner of the shop) are very sweet and inviting, so I understand why they would have regulars and why people come here. Maybe keep some bandaids on hand just in case. Also please train your employees not to cross contaminate bodily fluids as people can get really really sick. At the very least, I think my service deserved a discount. I still even tipped them despite the accident read more

Great Service from multiple staff. Thank you to Ivy for a great pedicure and beautiful nail set. They were so welcoming to two walk in appointment. Thank you. read more

Once I walked into this salon, I was in pure awe! I honestly felt like I was either on Rodeo Drive or Las Vegas! The service was also, by far, 5 star quality. I felt like a celebrity. Got both a pedicure and a manicure, and I was pampered with a great foot massage and a mimosa. The owner, Tony, was very communicative and offered some services, including their new Japanese HeadSpa massage, which looks sooo relaxing! I just didn't have the time to try it out. Apparently, this salon has been around for over 15 years, but just recently expanded and renovated. Definitely worth stopping by if you want to be pampered and leave feeling like a million bucks! read more

10/10!!!!!! New favorite nail salon in Sac!! Location- Folsom blvd located in a strip mall. Buffalo Wild Wings is right next door! This spa is seriously gorgeous. I called around 5:45 on a Friday night to see if I could get my nails done.. the woman was so nice and said yes come. I got there 20 ish minutes later and I knew they closed at 7. I felt terrible! That didn't stop or change anything. Nancy did my nails-- I did white dipping powder with acrylic! Nancy was professional, nice, funny and so so kind! Every step of the way she made sure I loved my nails. From the shape, length, color. The amazing thing about this place is that it's not only a nail salon. It's also a spa! They offer a wide variety of different services besides nails.. a head spa, facials, etc! I can't wait to come back and get a pedicure! They also offer complimentary soft drinks or water. They have a loyalty program. They can do chrome, nail art, etc! Come check them out!!! I can't wait to come back. Thank you so much Nancy and Bella (manager I think) read more

Ladies start your , lover girl weekend pampering yourself I tried out a new nail spa today on Folsom in Sacramento, California This was by far one of the best and most relaxing experiences. My nail tech ( Henry) was perfect. He knew exactly what to do shaping and color the massage everything was top-tier. They also serve champagne or mimosa cocktails, and have very cute Valentine's Day decor . The chairs are very comfortable, plush and very unique. The aesthetic of this place is on point and the customer service was great. They are very attentive. I definitely recommend this place. It was a 20/10 @athena.nails.spa6450 thank u I will definitely be back If you love yourself treat yourself read more

My first time getting nail extensions was two weeks ago, the day before Valentine's Day. I asked for Nancy specifically after seeing a review mentioning her work and came in requesting a Gel X extension set. Nancy recommended acrylic instead, saying it was better because you can get fills. I explained that my main concern was protecting my natural nails because they are thin. She then suggested dip as the best option for my nails. It was confusing to be told every option except the one I came in for was the "best" for my nail health. During the service, one extension was clearly the wrong size and my natural nail was visible along the side. When I asked for it to be fixed, she responded by asking if I was sure I even wanted my nails done. When she removed the extension, she ripped it off instead of soaking it, which was extremely painful and didn't feel safe for thin nails. I later noticed that two other nails had similar sizing issues where my natural nail was exposed on the side. I came in the day before Valentine's Day and just needed something presentable, so I left with the set. While I appreciated being squeezed in, the overall quality and experience were disappointing. As someone new to nail extensions, I felt more like a problem than a welcomed client. They did offer me a beverage during my pedicure, but it came after the entire dip set service was already finished. read more

I came in for a pedicure and I was given the menu and intentionally chose the option that include "basic callus removal" so it would be built in. However when we get to that part of the service the tech was adamant that it would be an up charge, even when I pointed it out on their menu. I didn't want to argue since we had already started. But it felt super scammy and I won't be coming back. Just be ready for up charges and a place where the customer experience is secondary. read more

I was so excited to try this place. With such amazing reviews I was excited to try a new nail salon in my area as I just moved back to Sacramento after 2 years. Positives: The salon appeared very clean and aesthetic, staff was incredibly kind, I was serviced the moment I walked in, and the polish came out beautifully. Negative: I was serviced here 6 days ago. Yesterday I noticed that one of my toes was incredibly red, inflamed, painful to touch and had pus coming out by the cuticle. I have never experienced an infected toe in my life, however I believe this happened due to my cuticles being cut too short/too much! I did not pay attention to see if any of their tools came out of a brand new package (my fault), but unfortunately I did end up with an infected toe. Please allow this to be a learning lesson and reeducate your staff to not trim cuticles too low and that all tools remain clean before each client. I am not asking for money back, I just simply won't be returning due to my experience. Totally up to you if you still want to give this place an opportunity. I am not a person who will refuse to go to a place if there is one bad review. Unfortunately things as such can still happen to a client if improper technique is used. read more

I saw this place advertised on Instagram a couple of weeks ago and I was like I have to take advantage of their VIP pedicure special that ran through December. I was immediately greeted by Chris who was super nice and so helpful to walk me through the check-in process. He took me over to my pedicure seat in the VIP area, I was immediately greeted by Helen who by the way I highly recommend for your pedicure service! I'm pretty sure everybody is great that works there, but I'm partial to her. She was amazing from start to finish. I could've fell asleep in that chair, that's how comfortable I was. I was so pleased with how patient and detailed she was with my service. We interacted and our vibe was great. Super relaxing. I highly recommend coming to this place when you wanna really treat yourself. read more

I had the best experience at Athena Nails & Head Spa thanks to Cindy! Cindy has such a gentle touch, pays incredible attention to detail, and really takes her time to make sure every nail is flawless. My set has lasted over two weeks already with no chips, and the design I asked for came out even better than I imagined. The salon itself is so clean, elegant, and calming--great music and relaxing vibe. But what really stood out was Cindy's warm personality; she made me feel so comfortable and taken care of the whole time. Everyone there is sweet, but Cindy is a true standout! If you're in Sacramento and want top-notch toes with great service, ask for Cindy--you won't be disappointed. I'll definitely be back! read more

I want to gate keep but I shouldn't. This place is The absolute best nail salon I have ever been to. No hidden fees beautiful establishment very nice staff.. I do not live in the area but do work nearby and was lucky enough to find this place decided to spoil myself from Mother's Day with a pedicure and a full set gel X manicure upon entry. They sit you down with a menu to choose from numerous options for your pedicure and manicure needs. I learned while there they also do head spa massages too. I was lucky enough to have Kathy and Cindy. They were so amazing!!! they will be my go to nail tech moving forward every time!! Their work was beautiful and clean and they were so nice to talk to. keep in mind I get a pedicure once every two years so my feet were crusty, and these women made them look like diamonds. The salon is very welcoming, and the chairs were so comfortable. I was literally falling asleep.. spoil yourself, come up with an excuse whatever the case this is the absolute gem in Sacramento!!! read more

I found this nail salon on Yelp and had the pleasure of visiting them this past Saturday, I booked with Tony via Yelp and had such an amazing experience! From the moment I walked in, everyone was so attentive and welcoming. They offered snacks and drinks right away, and the environment was spotless, spacious, and elegantly designed. Chris did my toes and provided great conversation throughout my visit super professional and skilled! I really appreciated how they took the time to educate me on proper nail care instead of just rushing through the service. The music selection was perfect, the massage chairs were incredibly relaxing, and I loved that they even have a VIP area for a more exclusive experience. You can tell they truly care about pampering their clients and creating a relaxing atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Horrible job on my nails, cut them incredibly short and the nail tech did not listen to what I wanted. Management then proceeded to blow me off and refused to make it right. Would not recommend there are better places Update: The date was 1/2/26 The technician was named Tony. I asked for a gel manicure, and showed him a design he insisted he could. The style and took two and half hours (he didn't finish) and I was left with something that looked like a kid had played around on my nails. I was offered a free pedicure because they don't do refunds. I was told management would be in contact with me and they never reached out to me read more
