I am sooo happy I found Athena Nails & Spa! I wanted to do something special for our anniversary and finally convinced my husband to get his very first pedicure after years of trying. So I wanted somewhere that felt really nice, luxurious, and like an actual pampering experience, and this place completely exceeded my expectations! My husband absolutely LOVED it! So much that he already wants to come back with me again lol. And honestly it was one of the best pedicures I've ever had too. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and attentive and really made sure we were comfortable, enjoying ourselves, and having a great experience. The whole place has such a beautiful, relaxing, luxury feel. They even have a head spa section, and now I'm already planning to bring my sister so we can have a pampering day together! I cannot recommend Athena Nails & Spa enough. What was supposed to be a special first pedicure for my husband officially turned us into loyal customers. We will absolutely be back read more

A hot summer Saturday always calls for a girls' day! And what better way to spend it than pampering yourself with a relaxing pedicure? Since moving to Sacramento, I haven't been able to find a nail salon that I really love. I've had some bad experiences in the past and, honestly, I've never been a huge fan of going to nail salons--whether it's because of the service or the cleanliness. Well, Athena Nails & Head Spa did NOT live up to those previous experiences... in the BEST way! Right when I walked in, I was welcomed by the friendly staff. I had an appointment, so I didn't have to wait long at all. I was even offered a drink right away! They have water, soda, or even a little bubbly! I went with the #2 Pedicure, which included hot stones, a leg and foot mask, and a massage. ‍‍ My nail tech took her time and never made me feel like she was rushing to get me in and out of the chair. She did have to step away for a few minutes to help a client who came in for a repair, but she was extremely apologetic and checked in with me. She wasn't gone long at all, so I honestly didn't mind soaking my feet and letting the mask work its magic! For my polish, I went with gel white tips this time. I really appreciated that she asked how thick I wanted the tips because those little details make such a difference! She did a great job, and I LOVE how they turned out! If you're in need of a girls' day or just want to treat yourself to a little solo self-care, I definitely recommend Athena Nails & Head Spa! 10/10! I can't wait to go back and try some of their other services! 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 been coming to Athena Nail Spa for the past 3-4 months, and I've had such a wonderful experience every time. I've seen several different people, and everyone has been incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Tom gives an amazing pedicure, and Haven does beautiful nails! I also love the little extras--they offer drinks and mimosas and truly make you feel welcomed like family from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is relaxing, the service is consistently excellent, and I always leave happy. Definitely a five-star experience, and I highly recommend Athena Nail Spa! read more

We love this place for a pedicure. The staff were very friendly and talkative, and they told us about all their other services. They have a great water head massage machine that we're really excited to try out. I only got a regular pedicure, and it's still looking good two weeks later! I would definitely recommend them. They are newly opened and have a very luxurious vibe with great drinks, fast service, and affordable prices. read more

Overall great experience with all staff! 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

Very uncomfortable chairs, walked out with my neck and back hurting. My arms couldn't fit in the chair so I had them propped on hard plastic to the whole time. Definitely not made for anyone over 140 lbs.They used some facial stuff that still has my face burning, I didn't not know they were going to use anything on my face. They washed and conditioned my hair and scraped what felt like a wooden rake on my scalp. The back of my head was not touched and still had soap on it. There was no massage, just hair washing, and I've received better "massages" from a cheap haircut. Not worth the money and will never do it again. read more

Athena Nails & Head Spa - Toes and a full set of - Nail Salons Near Me - Sacramento, California

Place is nice, work is sloppy and French tips uneven, didn't do the best job and my cuticles are inflamed. Nail tech clapped her hands in my face after drilling them and dust flew in my face... also she got gel all over my fingers and when I kept telling her to make the French tips the same she didn't understand me or something. Oh yeah and cuticles barely cleaned up just sloppy. Vibe was weird cause there was a homeless guy staring at me thru the shop doors like get some tints. read more

5/5 I called and was able to book an appointment same day! The team listened to my request for my manicure, I asked for a builder gel/hard gel French tip set. A previous location made my set super thick and I didn't like that. They listened to my request and made sure that my nails were thin and to my liking. I also got a simple gel pedicure, amazing job. I love how he didn't cut the corners/side (most places do and end up giving me an infection). The staff is super friendly and nice! I'm also happy that they took me in as their last client of the day. Definitely coming back again for my fill. read more

I feel this place was falsely advertised and absolutely not worth the money. If you're booking a head spa expecting a proper scalp and head treatment, I would strongly recommend knowing what to expect. I paid $85 and, unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. My hair was only partially washed, and while they were detangling it, my hair was pulled and yanked so aggressively that I felt like it was being ripped out. I also left with my scalp and face feeling like they were on fire. I'm not sure what product was applied to my face, but it felt like a cheap face mask that burned and irritated my skin. I specifically expected a head and scalp massage, neck massage, and lymphatic treatment. I received none of those. The only massage-like experience was a metal scalp massager that was used for less than 30 seconds. Overall, this was nothing like the head spa experience I was expecting. For $85, I expected a relaxing and thorough treatment, but instead I left uncomfortable and extremely disappointed. If you're specifically looking for a true head spa or scalp treatment, this was unfortunately not the experience I received. Easily one of the worst spa experiences I've ever had. read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Athena Nail Salon! Chris did an amazing job on my pedicure. It was beautiful, relaxing, and truly felt luxurious from start to finish. I also tried the head spa, and it was an incredible experience. So relaxing and such a treat! And I have to mention the massage chair because it was hands down the BEST massage chair I've ever experienced at a nail salon. It took the whole pedicure experience to another level. Everything felt pampering, comfortable, and luxurious. I left feeling completely relaxed and absolutely loved how my pedicure turned out. I highly recommend Athena Nail Salon and Chris! I will definitely be coming back. read more

I had a fabulous pedicure at Athena. Thy gave did a great job with the gel polish, and the massage! Wow! Go to her if you really want to relax. I almost fell asleep. I'll be back! read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but the way this salon handled this situation was completely unacceptable and extremely unprofessional. We were at the salon for over TWO HOURS on Monday. They allowed a nail tech who was clearly inexperienced to do my niece's nails without ever communicating that to us beforehand. We asked for a simple oval shape, and the nails were everything BUT oval. They were uneven, poorly shaped, and honestly looked nothing like what we asked for. At one point, another nail tech even came over to inspect my niece's nails afterward and then began speaking to the other employees in their language. It was obvious enough that someone else felt the need to come over and look at the work. Despite all of this, we were STILL being nice about it. We basically said, "Oh well," paid for our services and left. Our total was over $235, and we even left them a generous tip. Then we went to lunch and noticed that the nails were ALREADY STARTING TO LIFT. At that point, this was no longer just about a horrible and uneven shape--the full set itself was not done properly. I spoke directly with the manager, Bella, and specifically told her that my niece needed the FULL SET redone. Bella agreed and told us to have her come back in. So my niece went back to the salon expecting them to honor exactly what their MANAGER had already agreed to. Instead, Bella suddenly became rude with her and told her she "didn't have time" to redo them. Excuse me? You told us to come back. You agreed that the full set needed to be redone. My niece took the time to return because of YOUR salon's poor work, only to be met with an attitude and told you didn't have time for her? If you don't have time to correct a service your salon did incorrectly in the first place, then don't tell a customer to come back. The entire situation could have been handled so differently. We were patient, polite, paid our bill, tipped generously, and initially weren't even going to complain about how terrible the shape looked. But having nails start lifting immediately after leaving and then treating my niece rudely when she returned for the correction YOU requested is beyond unprofessional. If a nail tech is inexperienced or still learning, customers deserve to know that BEFORE paying full price for their services. And if management promises to correct poor work, they should stand behind that promise instead of being rude to the customer for coming back. Over $235, more than two hours of our time, a generous tip, nails lifting almost immediately, and then an attitude from management when given the opportunity to make it right. Absolutely unacceptable. We will not be returning. 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

If you want value with style - you can't beat Athena. The best value is the head spa. Very comfotable.

Such a lovely experience! Everyone was so sweet and welcoming, and the service was wonderful. I really appreciated the little touches that made our visit feel extra special. Will definitely be coming back! 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

This review is for the way that I was handled. I did not end up getting a service this day - I went to Empire Nails where its far but the owner is always supportive and does there best to accommodate. The morning of my appointment I was late - I was to be there the same time as the opening. So I called multiple times to get through and let them know I'd be there shortly. I sensed the urgency of "okay, please hurry". That is completely acceptable. I arrived and every station was full. I checked in on their Tablet and saw the details if my appointment pretty well outlines but then was questioned about what services I was looking to get that day - which felt like a delay and honestly just uncomfortable - only to be told by someone else that they dont even have anyone that can do what i want and theyd be available in an hour. My response "I called you, I spoke to YOU on the phone, cancel me" Customer service is not about the customer always being right, but life happens, i can deal with flexibility, I'm not gonna be shamed or dealt with in a way that makes me the problem. If I tell you I will be there in a few minutes and you give up my chair without saying, can I create another time slot for you since there is already a walk-in? Give me the option to deal with your adjustments. I was so excited about this appointment. And, slightly embarrassed because the dialogue coming from staff was shifty and placed the whole thing on my shoulders down to disqualifying my service by how I responded to their questions. 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
