Pedicure was not nearly "Deluxe". Lady scratched the top of the nape of my feet and left red markings (still burning). Massage was not 10 minutes, no actual callus removal, barely any cuticle trim, the gel polish is sloppy, instead of removing the polish with nail polish remover she filed my entire toe nails down, there was also no trimming or filling of my actual toe nails length. You could tell she was trying to rush me out of the chair, despite being the only customer there. read more

Service was quick and nice but my gel pedi was not done correctly. 3 days later and I am peeling it off because it was so thick around the edges and lifting. Was excited for somewhere close but can't justify coming back. read more

Best nail salon very clean and great quality. very friendly been going here for years never been disappointed. Rose always is awesome!

It's nice they're open on Sunday's but not nice when you have to come back.. I got a shellac pedicure for about $50.. after five days my gel polish came off my big toe. I came back two days later to get it fixed and that cost me $10 for one toe!?! Then the next day, gel polish came off a different toe.. i've never had this happen before. I don't know what kind of shellac gel nail polish they use or products that make that gel nail polish come off in less than a week!?? And the worst part is they're not apologetic & they charge you $10 a toe!?! read more

AVOID! The worst gel nail service I have ever had. I had to pay to get it taken off & reapplied same day in another salon. I take very good care of my nails & this service was shocking! Very frustrating as time is $! Pics speak for themselves.. read more

Absolutely the best nail salon experience I've ever had! Tien and Rose are amazing at what they do. Tien is so patient and incredibly talented--my nails came out perfect, and the artistry was next level. Rose gives the most relaxing and rejuvenating massages; I didn't want it to end! On top of their skills, they are both so much fun and really take the time to listen to what you want. The salon has a great atmosphere, and I always leave feeling pampered and refreshed. Highly recommend! read more

I'm new to Arizona I moved here a few months ago and have been trying to find a new nail salon. I came across Cali nails last week and got a pedicure. I was asked to come back which I totally understand, and I gave them a call before coming back to make sure it was okay and if they still had time to take me for a pedicure in which they said yes it was and to come. I showed up and got seated right away. The total time my service was, was about 20 minutes or less. Their prices were honestly pretty high considering all I got was a gel pedicure it was 50/55 dollars. If I wanted callus remover it would have been an extra 10 and French tip an extra 7. I decided to opt out of the two which is something I normally get and willing to spend the money on but because of how fast the service was going I felt I wasn't going to be getting appropriate treatment, and my instincts were right. I had to ask if they could remove the nail polish from my skin because it was almost every other toe that had the nail polish on my skin very noticeable and I still walked out with some on my skin. One of the ladies there was very nice as she spent time to remove it but the more I think about it the more it does make me upset because I am a college student who spends her little check to get a nice service done whenever I can and it just felt like a waste. Being a nursing student put me on my feet a lot and I looked forward to a service that would be relaxing and getting to remove some impurities on my toes but I walked out with my feet looking the same just with polish on them and dead skin still read more

I should have listened to the reviews! do not spend your hard earned money here much less do business with this nail salon! I went there because there was a big sign that said "walk in welcomed" take down the damn sign if that's not the case. lol someone who barely understood or listened to me asked what I needed and whispered to her I'm guessing daughter this snot nosed brat said "I'm too busy sorry" didn't even ask if i wanted to schedule an appt nothing. weird energy read more

I JUST left this place to inquire about a service. As soon as I walked in, the young lady mumbles "we're closed". NOT addressing me, but kind of signaling to the other young lady to tell me that they were closed. You probably thought I ddnt hear you but I did. Despite the door being unlocked and a flashing "OPEN" sign in the window. I asked "what time do you close?". She says "we take our last customer at 6". Girl what? It was 6:35 and the site says you close at 7. If you dont want to service me, I'd MUCH RATHER you say that. I only came in as a last resort as I work AND live directly across the street. Ma'am, you know who you are. The next time ANYONE does you a favor by stepping foot into this hole in the wall establishment, try not being a "B" to them. Do better. read more

Great services. I've been here twice. First time I had gel nail and design. This time around I did the dip and design with with Traci. They are quick and precise with care for your nails. I've also had my nails down by another young lady in the shop. All names starting with T. If you have an idea bring a picture and of course ideas. read more

Honestly I never leave reviews but this experience made me question if the woman doing my nails even had a license. She was very nice but I only needed to get a gel manicure taken off and still had a horrible experience. She took off all of the polish with an electric file and clipped my cuticle and the side of my finger multiple times throughout the service. I walked out of the salon with bleeding cuticles and destroyed nails. In addition to this, not even all of the gel polish was taken off. Will also mention they have a dog running around the salon that was sniffing my feet throughout the entire service read more

First visit there the owners daughters (I'm assuming) act like we bothered them when we walked in. When I told one sister the water for my pedicure was hot she told her sister "bro I got it". My toes were ok so I decided to give them a second chance. I went in again on a Wednesday and the owner (older lady) seemed bothered because it was only her and one guy there who was already busy. She rushed my friend's toes and my toes. Pedicures are not cheap. Horrible pedicure. Rushed and I was scared she was going to cut me. I was tense. Her payment system was not working properly and was insisting to swipe my card 3 times. I understood the system would reverse it but I felt as if I paid 150 for a crappy pedicure. She then ran to my car holding me hostage because her system was not taking my payment, which was not my fault. Her daughter got there and both were harassing me in my car asking for my ID and debit card. I handed her cash because I was so upset that I was getting harassed, got a horrible pedicure and the daughter didn't say thank you or was not apologetic about the system not working. Those people are snobby and don't care about people they take money from. Please don't waste your time here. read more

Tien did my nails. They look amazing. Would totally go back again. Thank you so much for the quality service

Pros they do a half decent job on your nails Designs you show them will be attempted Pretty good prices Entertaining conversation Cons The polish does not cover the whole nail It's very ugly inside They speak English to you but not to each other so you always wonder if they're talking about you. Overall okay, my nails look good but not perfect. Probably the best place downtown for nails. Whoever Jimmy is, he didn't work there anymore as of today. read more

I have waited almost 2 weeks to write this review. Post-COVID, I am aware there are staffing shortages so I won't necessarily touch on that subject - other than I called ahead and was told when to come in - there was still a wait. We had 2 people in our party - 1 person having an acrylic fill and the other having a fill and a pedicure. One of the two employees started to do the acrylic fill (while the other person having 2 services done waited). The quality of the fill was okay. It looked good at the salon and that day. About 3 days later I could see lifting (and chipping) of the acrylic on 8 of my 10 nails. When the other employee was ready the person having 2 services done there was a discussion regarding the fill. It was settled that it would be a dipped fill (as the employee said we had to or remove the nails and go acrylic). As the first person done with 1 service and having to wait for the other person having 2 services done, I left to go get something cold to drink. When I came back I saw that the employee had taken off the dipped nails and was putting on a new set of acrylic nails. I asked the employee why this was happening and she said she didn't know. I replied - how do you not know, you're doing her nails. What happened to doing the dipped fill like it was discussed and agreed upon? She again said I don't know. I asked my mother (the person now getting a new set of nails) how this happened and she said 'that's what she told me I needed to do.' I decided to step outside and I was very upset. I feel these 2 employees took advantage of my elderly mother in taking off her nails and making her get a new set. I will never go back. read more

Terrible service! My appointment was for 4pm I didn't get seen until 5:15. After my feet were done they requested that I pay. MISTAKE!! My nails look awful. They are shape like blobs, paint chipped the same day, left my fingers dry covered in product. It gets better! So I tell her how unhappy I am and then the first thing that came out of her mouth is I don't have time, come back tomorrow no refund. I'm telling her like I don't have time for that, my flight leaves in the am. She says if you don't leave I can call the POLICE. I'm astonished at this point because for what reason would you feel a need to do that?! So I go on to showing the manager these tacky nails and then the nail tech then assaults me by snatching on my arm to prevent me from showing the manager. Long story short I flipped out until they gave me a refund. read more

I had a gel mani & pedi done. The service was priced normally, but the work was garbage. The woman who did my pedi got snippy with me when I pointed out that my big toe had a huge clump of gel on it and blamed me for not keeping my toes flat under the uv light. She re-polished the toe and it still has a small clump which I didnt see til I got home! The mani was okay. I specifically asked for a matte finish, which they did a shoddy job of... then before I could tell them to stop they both loaded my hands and feet with lotion and oil and basically RUINED the purple matte look I wanted! It's more like a satin brown now because the oil discolored the polish! I was too shocked and angry to speak. Shame on me for assuming they knew what they were doing. I just paid them and left. Never ever coming back!! Waste of $100!! read more

I came here months ago with my best friend because she recommended this place. On my first visit I was not impressed at all. I thought my SNS manicure was done horribly. However, I thought it would be good to give them a second chance. Two days ago I went do get another SNS manicure. The staff is friendly I must say, but I do not think their work is worth the price they charge for their services. I paid $45 for my SNS and frankly I was unsatisfied with the service. Before my manicure was even completed I was charged, and so u paid because the owner of the shop wanted to leave. Secondly, the lady who was doing my nails seemed to be in a rush, and that is the reason why I think all my nails are different sizes and shapes. I thought about going back to get my nails redone by them although I am really upset and do not care for stepping another foot in Cali Nail salon ever again! read more

Super happy and I will back in a couple weeks read more

Came in with a friend Sunday evening. Open sign outside but inside they were getting ready to dip. The mother was encouraging us to stay even when we felt bad for keeping them. Regardless, pedicures were on point and smooth. i actually came back today since one of the nails got messed up, they willingly took me back to fix it and she wouldn't take the cash i was offering for the service :) been here a few times, officially loyal. read more

So I stopped in this humble little place for a quick gel manicure and got the surprise of my life when Deana created a masterpiece on my fingertips! I play the guitar so I like my nails extra short. She gave me one of the best French gel manicures I've ever had in my life for it and extremely reasonable price! What a great job! Good music, happy customers everywhere, and great attitude all around! If you are looking for a little me time, this is the place to go! read more

The absolute WORST manicure I have EVER gotten. I've been getting my nails done for years!! And I have never had such a horrible manicure. I have move around recently and have been looking for a decent salon that's close to my work. I stopped in here, not hoping for a lot but just to get my nails filled I didn't get anything crazy just a fill and gel polish. When I walked in, it felt dirty, the lady who seemed to run the place was sitting at the front door with her shoes off texting. Then she sat me down at a table that looked like she hadn't wiped it down all day long. She literally had no idea what she was doing. I told her I had powder nails currently and told her to do whatever she needed to to take them off. She didn't. She left them on, mind you they were Halloween nails so they were colored black, and when she was using the drill she was barely touching the nail like what normally happens with any other salon. She nicked me with the drill 4 different times and when I said "ow" she just looked at me and kept going. She didn't shape my nails at all they are bulky and chunky and not at all what they should be. The acrylic hardened over my skin and they are absolutely terrible I cannot believe a salon would EVER allow someone to walk out looking like this. This place is DIRTY. Yellow stains all over the floors and baseboards, random tennis shoes all over. The back counter hasn't been wiped down or cleaned probably ever... like how is this place even allowed to stay in business?! DO NOT GO HERE!! read more

I'll echo everyone else here in saying that all of the previous reviews were written before "Jimmychu" started working here and really started impacting the culture and feeling of the place. I hadn't been there back in the day (even though it's a few blocks from my house) because of the negative reviews but decided to take a chance on it when I had been drinking, couldn't drive but decided I wanted to get my nails done (don't judge, OK?). I walked over to Cali Nails at 6:45 (they close at 7), but was greeted with a smile and service right away (by the other Jimmy). It took about 1.25 hours and $50 to get a fantastic gel manicure (from Jimmychu) and a good spa pedicure (from Rose). I was very pleased with the shape of my nails and I like how just because a few were short, he didn't try to trim them all down. It's been almost two weeks, and they're still looking good. Plus, as other reviewers, were mentioned the two Jimmys are just a lot of fun and genuinely seem to enjoy their jobs, which made it really fun to be there. I will definitely be back. Maybe I'll just make it my post-HH habit! :) read more

Horrible customer service!!!! They tried to rip me off and charge me for basic things that come in a manicure such as a nail clipping! So when I told them I was okay paying $10 for removing my gel polish since I didn't want to pay $30 for a polish change with no manicure the lady helping me become super rude. She didn't even remove the nail polish completely and tried to finish me off- but I pointed out the clearly obvious nail polish marks still on my finger. I am not paying $10 for a polish removal with polish still on them. I ended up going elsewhere and paying $30 for a gel mani, but this place and the service doesn't deserve my money or anyone else's! The manicurist was so annoyed with me that you could see her shaking even! stay away! read more
