Hannah is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. She is so patient and creative. I love how she does my mani pedi's. Such a nice and chill person. Great conversationalist 10/10 would recommend everyone to pay her a visit! read more

Worst place to get ya nails done by far the worst nail salon my girls has ever been too. She requested the first picture nails and the person who did them was rushing it, didn't take his time and was by far the rudest and most ignorant individual (last picture) . If they are going to do nails the least they can do is listen to the customers request. But we then went to Get Fixed Nails and Spa and national city (second pic) and they are by far the best place to go to. Please avoid coming to C & L if you want to waste your money. read more

DO NOT COME HERE.. i went once for a pedicure and ended up with toe fungus. Had to get my toe nail removed. 0/10 I DO NOT RECOMMEND

Use to love this place but female owner does not listen to customer request. I called and asked for a soak off, then told her I wanted a soak off but she proceeded to remove my previous acrylic overlay with nail tip although I had expressed that I wanted a soak off, she then burned my nail with the drill, I then asked her to stopped, paid for my pedicure and left. I do not recommend coming here. Their supplies are not clean with every use, avoid this place at all cost. read more

I wish I could give ZERO STARS! I was disappointed with my recent visit on July 11th 2025. Only one coat was applied, and my polish started chipping within 3 days. I gave them a chance to fix it, but the worker said it was too late because he already applied gel. I already knew they were going to chip when you could see through the white and paint was uneven. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! This picture is ONLY 2 days after I got them done! The worker was the male guy! Don't remember his name. I hope they see this and start to treat the customers fair and stop being greedy. read more

I have come here twice and will not EVER return the first time around went okay. It was a very quick service and decently priced so I decided to go back. I should have trusted my gut and stayed away!! On my second visit it was rushed once again but things really went wrong during my gel mani. The nail tech seemed annoyed to be removing my gel that I had previously gotten there. Then she was rushing through cuticle clean up that she cut me 3x one of them was extremely painful and I started gushing blood.... She then proceeded to put CRAZY GLUE on my gushing cut and pulled her mask down and blew on my finger. I immediately removed my finger and said no... this was before the mask mandate lifted. Absolutely HORRIFIC experience will not ever return and I advice you to take your business elsewhere. STAY AWAY FROM THIS NAIL SHOP. read more

I've gotten 3 different sets from this place and they do not disappoint. I don't know his name, but I believe he's the only man that works there, he's done my nails every single time and he does amazing! And he's quick! They do get very busy so I recommend making an appointment, but they do take walk ins. I think it's safe to say, this is going to be my go to salon! read more

(DESIGN BY ONYX NAILS) It saddens me to write this review as I have been coming to C&L since I was 8 years old and always loved my experience and nails here. This year I went for my 21st birthday nails. I wanted Jade nails with gold foil but was informed they did not have the materials for it so I found something different (Marble design). I scheduled an appointment with Lyn at 12pm but arrived earlier at 11:37am with the intent to wait for Lyn because she always does my nails for my birthday. As soon as I walked in I was instructed to sit with another nail tech to start my nails which I was hesitant about but it was fine because they just prepped my nails. I then was instructed to go to Charlie although my appointment was supposed to be with Lyn. I didn't want to say anything and sound difficult so I did. Lyn was finishing one client but took another one right after which kind of bothered me because I was supposed to start with Lyn at 12pm. I was then instructed to go get my pedicure done while waiting for my nails. After the pedicure it had been 2:30pm and Lyn finally started my design. I showed her a Marble design and was told she'd be able to do it. She then proceeded to give me basically green stripes with gaps and left it at that. Once I realized this was how she was leaving it I clarified that I didn't want it like this and that I wanted marble which from my understanding is the mixing of two polish colors. It was made very clear that this upset her enough to rudely say "just take it off her!!" I was shocked. Charlie then takes it off while guilt tripping me and telling me that they don't make very much money off doing my nails. To make this all worse they started talking to each other in a different language throwing in English words that made it clear they were talking about me. At the end of the visit I was still charged for my incomplete nails and had to go to another nail salon to do my design. Sad to say I will never come here again... read more

The staff were nice enough. We scheduled acrylic nails and a pedi. The techs pushed us hard to do gel for the acrylic nails. So we did. Prices were decent $20 for basic pedi. $40 for French acrylic gel mani. The work was done well. However, we will not go back and the 2 stars are due to 1) the place was filthy. Every bottom surface & corner had dirt, grime, dust, and spider webs! YUCK. 2) while the techs were pleasant enough, they were rough as if they just wanted to get it over with including a almost non-existent massage. Maybe 2 mins of massage. read more

I enjoyed my quality and quick classic manicure from C & L nails. I came in the Friday after Thanksgiving around 11:30 pm and had to wait approximately 10 minutes. The classic pedicure costs $12, cash and card is accepted: Most of the chairs were occupied and I found the service to be very friendly. They had a wide variety of colors and styles to choose from. C & L Nails is located in the same plaza as a North Island Credit Union and Subway, across a Best Buy and Walmart. The parking lot has a decent amount of spots, but was packed when I went most likely because of the holidays When I routed directly from Yelp, my navigation led me to the wrong plaza at first. I recommend directly searching for C & L Nails in your navigation app of choice to be routed by to their correct location. I would definitely come back if I was in the area. read more

I'm not sure why they take reservations here. I waited 30 minutes and had to leave because they didn't even start my pedicure. My daughter was able to get her nails done, but she said it was a struggle to do a simple design. They charge $15 for a very simple design on your nails, way over priced. This is my 3rd and final time going there. read more

I give the place 2 stars because the person who actually did my pedicure was nice, but the inside is dirty the towels they use need to be replaced. My biggest issue was our waiting time, I was a walk in so I didn't expect quick service. After 15 min of waiting I asked if I should return, I was with my baby daughter and we were told to sit on a spa chair that we were next. We waited another 20 minutes, I only didn't leave because my daughter was so excited. After her pedicure manicure was completed, my child messed up two of her nails. I let them know I would pay more for them to fix it, and when they did they put on a different shade of pink. I told them it was the wrong color and they denied it & said they would only fix it once. I then simply paid and went else where, definitely will not return. read more

Overall they did a decent job on the finished product, but I don't understand why we make a reservation just to have to wait. For a pedicure and full set it took 2 hours. I made an appointment only to wait too long. They rushed the pedicure and manicure and even cut me a couple times along my fingernails and toenails. The price ($95) for the treatment and quality is insane. I will not be going back the best part is kim, she's a sweetheart and has quality work. This establishment is dirty and there is grime and filth on everything. read more

A very calming and fun atmosphere. Everyone was in such good spirits! Charlie the owner is very kind and has good positive energy. Very sincere and Jenny who did my nails was super cool and is a great artist and as well as Lisa who did my pedicure! I would recommend this place to my family and friends! I also went to note that when I called, Charlie mentioned it's directly across the street from Best Buy, so that helped me big time since the directions weren't that clear. I just re-routed it to Best Buy near this location and he was 100% right. read more

The male owner has absolutely NO respect towards his customers! Yelled at me as I was paying with my card about the extra fee he was charging me & how he gets charged so much $$$. He went crazy !! His own employees told him to stop yelling and he refused! Myself and several friends & family members have been coming here for a few years, because of this...NEVER again! I think he was drunk! I will make sure to let everyone know about this incident and report him!! read more

Back story. So I was at another salon and asked for the first picture. When I was done I was given the second picture (horrible) So I came to C& L and they worked their magic and helped me fix what the other salon did. Lynn (I think that's how you spell it) helped me and she did and AMAZING JOB! I chose a different color then brown. She did the design once & said she wasn't happy with it a d did it again. Now that's the type of nail tech I want! I won't go to another place! Thanks Lynn !! read more

My pedicure chipped and peeled after only a few days. The polish was crooked and caked on poorly. I wanted to give this local business a chance since the reviews seemed good. The place needs a remodel on the inside and there was lots of trash behind the "new" spa chairs which were not new. Mine was broken and kept massaging only one side of my body very aggressively. There isn't a remote so I couldn't turn it off or change the setting. The manicurist controls it but didn't understand me when I asked to turn it off. Overall the place was dirty and cluttered. I felt gross and did not feel relaxed. My manicurist hurt me multiple times and gave me the most painful leg massage. The most awkward part is your manicurist takes you to the front to charge you personally instead of a front desk manager so I felt like I had to tip her even though she was horrible. The only pro was it was really inexpensive - $35 for a pedicure, massage, paraffin and callus remover. Guess you get what you pay for. read more

Loved they're friendly service. The painting on my toes could have been better but they did great on my acrylics.

If zero stars was an option, I would. I made an appointment for noon the day before and warned them i get long nails, she said it wasn't a problem. I get there (with a 7 year old), to be told the owner can do them. I wait 45 minutes for him to start, finish one single nail, then his other appointment walks in. He puts me aside in a different chair telling me the other nail techs will finish as they become available since the salon is packed. I sat for another 45 minutes with no one telling me anything as every other walk in was getting done before me. I walked out with one nail and tips after an hour and a half. I drove 20 minutes out my way because their reviews on here were great. How disappointing. TERRIBLE SERVICE. TRASH read more
