    Pedicure & French tip
    Raquel W.

    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!

    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!

    Couples Mani-Pedi. They have the perfect setup for a nice daytime date.

    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.

    Tried this new place closer to home...they are amazing!! I felt like it was my birthday and I was just here for a full set. Amazing quality, relaxing experience and friendly staff. Give this place a try.

    Relaxing views while my toes get cleaned.

    Amazing customer service. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and to delivering quality service. Additionally, the ambience is very calming.

    Beautiful interior

    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! :)

    Polish on my skin on both hands. She attempted to clean it of 2 times still lots left behind

    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 .

    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.

    A week later. Still bruised and unhealed

    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

    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!

    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)

    Worth it!!

    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

    Corissa G.

    I fell in love with Athena Nails & Head Spa while visiting my son in college. Mr. Henry and Chris made sure everything was excellent and relaxing. It was my son's first pedicure and they definitely made it memorable!

    Ask the Community - Athena Nails & Head Spa

    Do they offer foreign fill (gel x fill from another salon)?

    What is the noise level in the room with the head spa services?

    There is no noise whatsoever unless the door is open then the noise enters the spa room but it's very quiet in there.

    I've been coming here consistently every 3 weeks and I genuinely love this place. From the moment…read moreyou walk in, everything feels calm and professional. The therapists wear scrubs and present themselves very professionally, which I really appreciate ,it makes you feel like you're in good hands right away. The rooms have such a relaxing ambiance ,dim lighting, peaceful vibes, and always clean. You can tell they take pride in their space. And the massages? They hit every single time. I've tried three different therapists and ALL of them were amazing. I won't even say who I see because honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. It's worth every penny. I always leave feeling lighter, less tense, and completely relaxed. I usually end up falling asleep at some point ,that's how comfortable it is. The only small downside for me is the front massage room can be a little noisy since it's near the main road, and you can sometimes hear cars passing. But even with that, I still manage to fully relax. Overall, this place has become part of my self-care routine. If you're looking for consistent quality and a professional environment, I definitely recommend giving them a try.

    Super clean and super nice establishment. Very friendly to book online…read more I booked a Swedish massage and it was amazing! I forgot what the person I got but she was a younger gal with piercings and she was super nice and friendly! Just the right amount of pressure. It was my first time here and I will be back! No disappointment what's so ever. I saw they have facials here and I wanna get one so I will try that next time. Overall I think you should check this place out.
