Under new ownership and not impressed. Stingy on the primer so nails lifted after 2 weeks and a couple fell off. When I went in to have repaired, she used the wrong color powder for the french manicure. So two fingers are obviously 'pinker' than the other two..and I'm a professional woman...so looks pretty tacky. She didn't even bother to fix it..just says something like..'oh it's not too bad'. Anyway...ain't going back. PS My previous review was based on prior owner. This shop is now under new ownership. read more

Let me start by saying that the only reason they get a 2 is that they provide amazing pedicures. Today I got a full set for the first time. Lily was the service tech. She was rude, accused me of being picky, and when I asked for what I wanted she was argumentative stating that I should have told her before. Never-mind the fact that I provided a picture. I will have to get my new set fixed and I will only get my pedicure if specific people are working, as the service can be hit or miss. read more

My first time getting a mani/pedi here and my experience was general. Sunday afternoon busy and only 4 employees total time in the salon was 2hrs but well worth it I called to make an appointment and I was see within the hour I arrived 10 min early I was greeted and seated right away. because it was busy my feet soaked for about 20 minutes once Tina got to work it was amazing I never had someone take there time and be as gentle as she was. She might have been gentle but she cleaned my cuticles and my problem areas without me having to say anything ! She also did an AMAZING Massage on my legs Not only did she do a great job on my pedi she also was very attentive to other customers, she made sure everyone had water and she had people take turns in there self massage chair. I never got the mans name that did my mani but he did a good job too. He did the French tip on my toes and I asked for a clear coat on my fingernails my cuticles look great. I'm only giving 4 stars because it was a bit to quiet no music and the tv was off the employees don't talk much not even to each other which was also a first for me. A different lady did the design on my toes which could have been a little better but it was busy I will be returning because I loved my pedi and they give u a card 5th pedi is $5 off mani/pedi with design and a free small water total of 33 bucks read more

So when I get here I tell them I want a pedi and a fill on my nails. They sit me in the massage chair but tell me to keep my socks on. I sat waiting for twenty minutes they said they didn't know I wanted my feet done. The lady that came in behind me got pamper before me. It'd 7:45pm they close at 7 I'm still here. Kelly did a great job on my nails. read more

I always take my wife here and she always walks out satisfied with the outcome. The place is very clean and staff is very friendly. They don't have pedi chairs which is good cause people don't realized that bacteria and fugus are a main concern when getting pedicures in those type of chairs. Every time i go , Mimi the owner is alway talkative and welcoming. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for quality service. This place has been around for over 20 years which tells you they are doing something right to stay in business. read more

They give the best pedicures. I was amazed that they took the time to not only give me an amazing pedicure, but they also did a great job with their leg massages. I will definitely come back. Their shellac French manicures are super as well! One star off because they could probably get more business if the shop was bigger. read more

Service is great! They accommodated all 3 of us for mani/pedi 30 minutes before closing. The owner, Tina didn't rush us and made us feel really comfortable. Tina personally did my pedi and took her time with the whole process. She did a great job on my toes. The lady who did my mani, was a different story. She rushed through the whole thing and even asked me if I worked that day. When I answered, "no", she asked "Why didn't you come earlier then?" Esqueeze me??!! She also did a horrible job with the gel and did a too thick, uneven coating. She was such in a hurry that I realized the edge of my nail was stuck to my skin from the super thick gel coating. I showed it to the owner and she promptly fixed it and also gave me a hand and arm massage that the other lady didn't do. She even offered us back massages while our nails were drying. I will come back again only if Tina will do my nails! read more

Family own business! In the times I visited, I forgot my wallet. Rushed them because I had to go to work, yet, every time I come back and they are happy to see me! They will make sure you are comfortable! read more

I've been going to this nails place for over a year, and it's been amazing every time I go. They spend so much time on your nails. I primarily go for a pedicure which is about $20. Very good price, as they spend about 1 hour and 1/2 on my feet every time I go. They scrub your feet, put lemon on them, and massage them for a really long time. I've never been to a nail salon that spends so much time on my nails. I would defo recommend this place to anyone, but make sure you go with a lot of time. The only thing I would say is the chairs are a bit outdated and some of the automassage features don't work. Other than that, I walk about with a clean job every time! :) read more

As soon as I walked in I didn't get a very good vibe, the guy there immediately rushed me to pick a color, and I felt uncomfortable with him staring at the back of my head while I looked at the ones to choose from so I just picked some quickly without putting much thought into it. At this point it was too late to turn away because the lady had already waved me over to sit down and get started. I've always bitten my nails, so I know there's only so much one can do, therefore I didn't ask for anything elaborate because my nails are pretty short, I just wanted to get a simple manicure with some cute colors and maybe a little design on a nail or two. The lady just started criticizing my nails which is rude, I'm aware my nails are not the nicest (THAT'S THE MAIN REASON I CAME HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE) I'm not paying you for your opinion, I'm paying you to do your job! I clearly told her that I picked out two colors because I wanted two of them two be blue and the rest green. However, while she was on the phone, she forgot and I didn't want to be rude and interrupt her conversation, so I waited until she hung up to tell her one of the nails was the wrong color. She threw a small fit and asked "Why didn't you tell me?!" and continued to complain that the nail polishes are hard to open. As if CLEARLY, that is my fault. After waiting for my nails to dry for 25 minutes, I paid and left. Only to get in my car and have two of the nails get messed up right away. So basically, employees are rude and the work is rushed and mediocre. read more

I have been here twice, and the first experience was okay. But after my recent experience, I will never go back. While getting an acrylic fill manicure, when she was doing the polish one of my fingers accidentally bumped her hand and got smudged. I apologized, but was very surprised by her reaction. I have been to countless nail salons and this is just something that occasionally happens, they do not ever shame their clients for it or get angry, they simply remove the polish and re-do it-- it takes about 30 seconds. This person went "tsk tsk" and tried to just cover up the smudge with more polish. It looked TERRIBLE. I almost just let it go but I had already tipped 30% (I pay before getting the color), so-- no way. I said it didn't look very good, and she said it looked fine. Then she glopped on one more coat of polish while muttering angrily in Vietnamese, then told me "if you don't want it to look bad, don't mess it up." There are some pros to this place-- I really like the decor, and they offer you water, and the prices are good. But based on this one awful experience, no way. Another con is that most of the polishes they have look about 2 years old, the colors are separating or when you shake them the polish is just hard and does not even move. read more

I've been going to California Nails for years! In a hurry I'll find myself at another nail place from time to time and wind up regretting it. Great techs, clean and the water massage beds you can lay in while your toenail polish dries. Amazing! Pedi and a massage! A+++ read more

New favorite local nail spot! I've been a few times and I always leave loving my nails! This place, even when busy and feeling rushed..take their time on YOU! My only complaint is sometimes there are only 2 of them working so you'l be waiting a bit..really no point to make an appointment, because it wont be on time. I don't even mind because they are so kind and they really appreciate your business. Their prices are awesome, shellac french manicure for $25! Another thing I love..they had tons of different ranges of nude colors which you can't find at alot of spots, I usually end up bringing my own. read more

Best nail place around! Best prices polish always stays on an great service! You will not find a better place!

Nice place, friendly people. I'm not very picky, but also not easily impressed, however every time I visit them, I leave happy and relaxed. They do amazing manicure and pedicure, shellac lasts for 2 weeks easily, pedicure lasts for about a month, very pleased with their work. Today at 7:05 I rushed in for emergency pedicure, they were about to close, but took me in with the smile, gave me a bottle of water (I think they can read your mind, I was thirsty and really needed a drink) and I've got a good service right away. This place is definitely 5 stars. read more

I've had my acrylic nails for almost 8 years now. I've been to a few nail salons and have had both great and horrific experiences. As we're new to the area, I've been trying out different places to see what I like and don't like about each of them. I've been to the salon twice now, and I appreciate what they provide, and at the most reasonable prices I've found so far. Just to point out - this isn't a spa. The walls are pretty sterile, and there isn't a lot by way of "personality" in the decor. Don't let that put you off. The staff is friendly, but not overly-chatty. Tina will bring out a small bottle of water, and do a great shoulder/neck/arm massage while you dry. The two gals who have done my fill have been efficient, and my nails look great when I leave. I also appreciate the "frequent guest" card that they give out. After 5 visits, you'll receive a discount on the 6th. With prices already good ($17 for a fill - not bad!) it's w win-win in my book. read more

Walk-in, Saturday, ~12-1pm Service: Mani/Pedi Cost: $30 "Excellent attention to detail on my toes and nails." Overall: I'd go back. I decided to try this salon based on 1) Location, 1) Price and 3) Reviews on Yelp. I was able to walk-in and immediately get serviced, however I did call ahead to make sure they were available. I was fortunate enough to get Tim as my nail aesthetician. He's quiet, but is great to chat with if you're in the mood. I know sometimes I prefer to not talk and just enjoy my experience. Pedicure: -They do a salt scrub during the pedicure portion and that was *awesome* -They rub lemon on your feet, I don't know why, but it felt good. -Gentle on the callous removal part -Foot massage is always appreciated, well done. Manicure: -Hand massage is good -Amazing attention to detail on my hands; My hands were in a recent state of dryness and Tim was great in getting in there and cleaning up the hang nails, my cuticles, all of it! One thing to be mindful of is that since this place is so good at paying attention to detail and making sure you're not rushed, plan on being there awhile. I came in for a mani-pedi and was there for about 1.5hrs (but I stayed there primarily to ensure that my nails were definitely dry...) read more

I walked in around lunch time and was taken to a chair right away without an appointment. They did a lovely job on my gel/shellac mainicure and for a great price! Thank you! read more

I know the first thing people are gonna do when they see this is ask, "Ain't this a dude?" Yes, people, this is a dude and yes, I am writing a positive review on my pedicure experience. On occasion a man gets married and on that occasion he likes to look his best for his woman head to toe. That outta the way, let me begin. I am no stranger to pedicures. Back in my real estate days when I was pompous and pretentious I took care of my feet all the time. I've had smooth pedicures and I've had those Dumb & Dumber pedicures. You definitely appreciate a master in this department. I do not know the sweet lady's name but God bless her she is a magician or something because the whole time I was saying to myself, "I see her touching my feet, but I don't feel anything." When all was said and done I felt like I was walking on clouds. Go to this establishment, treat yourself royally, and walk out with the satisfaction of knowing that your hard earned money was not spent foolishly. read more

They don't have any pedicure chairs...the nail polish selection sucks, they have maybe 15 colors of a brand i never heard of...i walked in and walked right back out. read more

The mother Tina did my pedicure. The husband did my mani, they took their time and seriously treated me like a queen. Tina was a little rough with using the brush ( it left me a little pink on the foot ) still despite that the service overrode that minor setback. The son is really nice and I think reasonable prices for Hispanic town Monument Boulevard. The pedicure was done with love and I can tell I wasn't being rushed and my business was appreciated. read more

My favorite place to get a pedicure. The only warning is this it not the place if you're in a hurry, but in a good way! They take their time and really give you the attention I enjoy when I need some "me time." I have got a few manicures done before, which were also good, but I usually stick the the pedi. They always greet me promptly and hand me a mini water bottle to enjoy while I relax. Sometimes they even let me pick the tv channel! Haha great place and great prices. $40 for mani/pedi with gel on the mani. $20 for best pedicure ever. read more

I took my girlfriend there today for the first time, I chose this place based on location and reviews on Yelp. I was very satisfied with the service, even though it took two and a half hours for the Deluxe Spa Pedicure and Manicure it was well worth it for the price! They are very meticulous about their work, they even had me sit in the Spa chair next to her and turned the massager on for me while I waited without charge, we were greeted with bottled water as well. I'll definitely take her back again. read more

If you can't even communicate with me appropriately over the the phone so I can make an appointment with you, then best believe that I will not be going IN to your shop at all. Every time I said something over the phone the response was "HUH?! HUH?!" Just. Forget. It. read more

bad service!! i asked for pink ombre nails, the guy the helped me said it was ok that he was able to do it. turns out he did my nails his own way & not what i asked. so then he finished and he asked if they were ok.. which i reply " not what i asked for" he got mad because i told him the truth!! then he took off the pink acrylic off and said he couldnt do it. instead to choose a nail polish color which i did. he never mention if i wanted gel or regular nail polish. so i choosed a color and still wanted to charge me the acrylic he had removed. end of story i wont be coming back bad customer service they didn't apologize for the inconvenience. all they care is for $$$ poor service!!!! recommend to go to citi nails on colfax st or the beauty nail salon on willow pass rd! very affordable , excellent services satisfaction guaranteed!!!! read more

Services were so poorly, had the worst pedicure today, I don't think I'll be returning after today.

Leon and Tinh are the go to for nails. I had Lilly and she doesn't do a good job. She always take short cuts and convince you into something you don't like. Basically, she doesn't listen to what you want. So no Lilly on nails! Other than that... this is my go to for nails! read more

Very Disappointed!!!...While I was getting a pedicure at this place for mother's day the woman who did my pedicure pulled a piece of my nail out. It hurt very bad and is very red, swollen, and painful.. I went to my doctor and he said that my nail is very infected and prescribed antibiotics, but still infected after the treatment and taking pain medication, I am worry because I have Diabetes and I don't want to lose my toe or my feet, The doctor in Emergencies said that the infection resulted from the No -sterilized tools that they use, I called them and give to me another cell phone so. I proceed to send pictures of my toe infected, Dr prescription picture till this time I am waiting for answers about my claim. I called today and the new phone they give to me is false. read more

I love my nails and the mani pedi combo! They're always great and do a great job on my nails. They take the time to give a great massage for both manicures and pedicures! Sunny and Tina are the best at the overall cleaning of the nails and the massage. Leon and Tim are the best for the nail designs! They're friendly and you can have great conversation with them! This is my new place! Haven't gone anywhere else since I started coming here earlier this year. My nails last for more than two weeks at a time for both regular and gel polish. It's affordable and the service is great and they're always nice! If you're not getting good service from them it's probably because they don't feel respected. Also walk-ins are always accepted. I would recommend going in the early afternoon. Most times after 3-4 they are booked, so if you want to go in around that time I would make an appointment. read more

My husband and I went for manicures. I got a gel polish which I was very pleased with. My technician was very efficient and I liked the end result. My husband was less happy with his manicure. His technician got a little to aggressive with the cuticle clippers and cut into his nail bed in two places trying to clean up the corners of his nails. He also had a giant hang nail that he pulled off his thumb on the way home that drew blood. They were very friendly and the massages were a nice extra. read more

The most painful pedicure I have ever had! I really hope my nails don't get infected from all the rough digging. The lady seriously scrubbed my foot and lower leg with a nail brush, WTF? The entire thing was the most painful thing I have ever experienced. They cut the side of my big toe nail all the way down to the nail bed, it bled so much! Update: my nails were infected BAD! The health department needs to come here! My toes were bleeding from how rough they were, and they were touching their antiseptic bottles in the blood, contaminating it for all the people behind me. Worst nail salon I have been to in my entire life, in or out of the country! How are these people licensed? read more

I am so glad I found this little gem. Tina, the owner, is amazing. She took me on a walk-in and did my mani to perfection, really taking her time. She LITERALLY, without EXAGGERATING, massaged my for over 30 minutes. The shop was quiet and because she did not have any other customers at that time, massaged my shoulders the entire time my nails were drying. She has such a loving, friendly personality. And $11 for the mani? They have a repeat customer in me..planning on going back this weekend for a mani/pedi combo. read more
