    We love Beauty nails, they did a great job!

    We love beauty nails, they did a great job. My friend got her toes and fingers done with gel and I got a fill. Thank you so much!

    I really should've believed the reviews from previous customers, so it's my fault for still going and trying this place out. We were staying at a nearby hotel for the weekend and this was the only place open at 730pm on a Saturday night. They were friendly and didn't have many customer so they were able to take me right away. My nails ended up crooked, uneven and polish has bubbles and very thick. Very unhappy with how it looks and the lady gave me a dirty look when I tipped 15%! I'm giving 2 stars because the pedicure was actually pretty decent.

    I happen to be in Santa Cruz for the day and had a little extra time decided to get my nails done, it was a nightmare experience as I've been to them before in the past and I thought maybe things that change but no they have not. Once I got there immediately I smelled chemicals which is not good to inhale, I had to use the restroom and the toilet didn't work correctly; my nail technician had dirty filthy nails literally wood dirt in her nails, I was getting a gel manicure and as she was trying to file away the old nail polish, and then wrap them in acetone and cotton in foil. She didn't leave it in there long enough, I had to keep filing. She was definitely very inexperienced, my nails were crooked I had to keep telling her they were crooked but of course she didn't understand me. So I had to get the file and straighten my nails out myself, and get the file to get the dirt out from underneath my nails. Now here's the kicker, most nail salons use pre-bagged new clippers, nail file, and in the tool that pushes back your cuticles and gets the dirt out, she use dirty clippers and the tool that pushes your cuticles back and gets the dirt out he was gross dirty and disgusting I literally had to put it into the blue disinfecting water myself. When I was ready to leave it was near closing time I had to use the restroom again badly as I had tacos and it was going right through me, they told me I had to wait as she was putting water into the toilet tank. So I stood there waiting patiently as I was about to relieve myself very quickly. This salon is very dirty in all respects from the bathroom, from all the tools that they use on your nails they are not, and nice individual bags that are new like most salons use. Stay away unless you want fungus on your nails. As you can see in the picture there is still nail polish left on my nails after her filing and using acetone on my nails she did a horrible job

    Omg. Stay the hell away! I have NEVER Yelped before, but the service here was hell. They ripped away at my nails. Made me bleed. Totally was rude. Huong Nguyen was name. Scary. Will never go here again. You shouldn't either. Negative stars.

    Manacure and pedicure done right!

    They are not always consistent, but if you ask for Holly, you will get a good job.

    I was debating writing this, I haven't had this bad of nails in a very long time. I had scheduled a…read moregelx and had to reschedule, I quickly agreed to the new date and didn't realize that it rescheduled to just gel, which I take accountability for not completely reading the full message. She worked around it and called her boss (next client) to see if she could come a little later. My baby was with me due to unforeseen circumstances and it was a little awkward. The owner showed her a Barbie doll and was helpful toward that situation. My nails she messed up on didn't put the bonding glue on a nail and continued. They seemed fine till I left and noticed 2 of the nails completely crooked and when messaged about it she said she adjusted the tip for nail bed and Is out of town and to file it cause that's what she would do. My other fingers were straight, never had a problem before. It was on a Friday and by Monday a couple of the nails were falling off and broken. I don't do much with my hands so for 80$ nails and 20$ tip, to fall off within less than 3 days isn't great. I have paid way less and they lasted longer and looked better and if not they would have me come back in and take off the nail and re-do it. A second one split 5 days in, they looked rushed and not put on correctly

    I booked an appointment with Phoebe at Prism Beauty for a pedicure…read more It is very easy to book an appointment through Prism's website. You select your service, any add ons, artist, day, and time. I scheduled for a Friday, but the artist later texted me to see if I could change my appointment time. I couldn't, so we scheduled for a different day, which was not a problem. There is a $5-$10 price difference between booking with a "senior" or "junior" artist for nail services. I think Prism should reconsider that policy because labeling someone a "junior" artist makes you think you are getting someone who is less experienced or won't do as good of a job and I don't think that is true at all, especially on a basic pedicure or manicure. Prism Beauty is on the corner of a busy main road (Capitola) and a residential street (El Dorado). They do not have a parking lot, so you have to find a spot on the street. When I went, there was nothing available on the residential street close to their building, but I found a spot a little further up the main road. Parking isn't a deal breaker, but definitely give yourself extra time, just in case parking is scarce. When you walk into Prism Beauty, there are manicure stations to your right, lash beds to the left, and two pedicure stations straight ahead. The pedicure stations are on a raised platform with an additional step up to the platform. There is no hand rail from the floor to step nor the step to the platform. If you have any physical disabilities or balance issues, it could be tricky. I would call ahead to see if they have an alternative if you want a pedicure and think the step up would be problematic. I am sure they would also lend a steadying hand if needed. Phoebe was setting up when I walked in. She addressed me by name and was welcoming. She told me to come up and have a seat. I asked if I should choose a color first, but she said she would bring me my options. They have a basket with all of the color options. Reds, pinks, purples, blues, etc. are bundled together, so you can easily find the color family you want and then a specific color. I chose a color, but when Phoebe went to look for it, no luck. She came back and said they have some colors only in gel and the color I chose was one of them. I picked another color, but she said she would also look for something similar. She brought two colors she chose and one was close to what I wanted. I was satisfied, but I did think it would have been easier if I just looked at the polish wall and picked one, since the samples can be misleading in terms of availability. Prism uses pedicure "kits" that come with a scrub, mask, and massage lotion. Phoebe also cleaned up the cuticle with an electric "sanding" tool and used a disposable scrubbie cube on my feet. My feet feel soft. I still have some dry skin on the sides of my outer toes, but they are much improved and look good in open-toes shoes. I paid extra for nail art. I like to get polka dots on all of my toes. My husband is always amused by my polka-dot toes. He judged these dots to be good, but not the best I have had. He pointed out that others have varied the size of the dots to cute effect. These dots are on the small side. Phoebe chatted with me a bit, but I had to initiate most of the talk. The artists working at Prism are clearly friends and the other clients who were there and came in were obviously regulars. They were all talking with one another. I was the outsider. It would have been nice if they had asked me more questions to draw me in, even simple things like if I live nearby or how I found their salon. Overall, I got a very nice pedicure at Prism. I would go back, but I would be very cautious about the days/times I booked due to traffic and parking. I have been trying to find a new nail artist because the person I went to for over ten years moved away from the area. I have tried four places. I would rank Prism #2 of the four for overall feel and outcome, but they win in terms of ease of booking.
