My visit came highly recommended by a friend, whose long polished nails always look perfect. I finally got to meet the magician behind such great work. I'm a massage therapist, so I over work my hands on a daily. Due to my profession, I've got to keep my nails very short and clean. Thanks to Sara, she shaped and trimmed off all the excess skin. Leaving me with super clean, revived, and renewed nails! That goes for my pedicure as well! It was a pleasure to be acknowledged in such a personable, caring way by the owners, Sara and Dean. Their professional talented team definitely reflects their uplifting positivity that fills their beautiful tranquil spa. They go above and beyond, keeping you smiling and laughing. You must come to see for yourselves!

I've been going to Sara for about a year and she is always so friendly and does an amazing job! I have never had a set that I didn't love. She is also fast, but thorough which is always a plus! I would definitely recommend!!

They are nice and polite but the nail tech didn't do my nails too good but I still tipped due to her effort.

Excellent nail salon. They go above and beyond to make you feel like you're treating yourself. They have more options on nail art and colors than any other place. They remolded and redid the entire interior, making it look classy and clean. They are not cheap but it is worth it if you want your nails to be excellent and quality work. This is my spot!

Sara is very patient, I LOVE HER! The atmosphere here is great. I'm an extroverted introvert so I don't want to always have to speak up for myself when it comes to the haggling I've experienced at other nail salons. They don't do that here. And the temperament of the staff here is great. I come here a lot and get many different styles, they do such a great job!

Such a great experience here at CA Nails! The store is beautifully decorated and clean. Services were amazing. They were so sweet and took care of my friend and I. They moved their whole station so we could sit together which was VERY nice of them. Amy and I will definitely be back. Plus my chrome yellow nails came out GORGEOUS!

Love always to come to have my mani/pedi. Great business. So proud of them. You can tell they do have passion and pride for their business. Thank you, Sarah and Dean! You are awesome together with your employees and the place is so classy with great taste.

This is what i showed the nail tech as inspo

Update: they contacted my personal number, barely took accountability and refused a refund DO NOT GO HERE I went in for a mani pedi this afternoon and had inspo pictures prepped to show the nail tech. I was sat down and asked to choose colors to match the designs i wanted, which i did, and i took pictures of the specific colors to help show the nail tech. When i showed her my designs, she told me she would choose the colors, despite me trying to show her the specific ones id chosen from the samples (like i was asked to do). The nails i got are NOWHERE near what I requested. The nail tech got to work, not asking if i wanted tips to add length to the nail, and began complaining about how short my nails were. I was confused, because she was able to add tips if needed, but didnt ask me if thats what i would like. Therefore I didn't know if they even offered it as a service. She made several complains about how my nails were "too short to look good" and that i asked for "too much design" for that nail length. My issue is that the design attempted looks NOWHERE NEAR the images shown, not in color, not in aesthetic, not at all. They turned out chunky, uneven, and frankly, uglier than I could've imagined. Even on short nails, if the tech had any semblance of skill, youd be able to see similarities. But as you can tell, there are none. Not to mention the amount of comments and complaints made to me had me feeling SO disrespected. I paid for my nails ($60 by the way, a total rip-off) and left without my pedicure because i felt so irritated. Now I have to find another salon to fix this before my vacation. Do not go here, its not worth this. Now I will say that the man helping me at the counter was incredibly kind, and the initial impression I had prior to being seated was very positive, but again, after what I experienced I will NEVER be here again.

I went to California Nails for a manicure and pedicure and wanted gel polish on my natural nails. This seemed to make the woman who I presumed was one of the owners, very angry. I guess because I didn't want fake nails? She passed me off to another man, who I think was also an owner. I said I didn't want the surface of my nails scratched up because of the damage it causes. But he did it anyway, even though I kept pulling my hands away asking him not to do that. He didn't seem to know how to apply the gel polish, putting on multiple layers and it was lumpy and thick. I was there for about 3 hours! It was a horrible experience where I felt like I was being punished for asking for something too simple. I was charged $169, way more than the menu stated price, for the terrible outcome and experience. It was so bad, I had to come back to try and get it fixed a little at least. The woman kind of filed the gunk down the next day. I would never in a million years suggest anyone go to these haters. I don't know how people like that stay in business. Awful job, still having problems with my toenail after that man mutilated my big toenail.

Sarah did an incredible job on my nails! It was my first time getting gelx and it won't be my last! I let her choose the design and she did an amazing job. I will definitely be back. The salon is very clean inside and everyone was friendly. I enjoyed the experience and felt that prices were fair and the quality high

Shannon S.

Look how amazing my nails look for Christmas!! This place is amazing and the the quality of the nails is top notch. Everyone is so nice and professional. If you are looking for a great place for nails and toes this is the place.

Faith S.

I am so glad that I found this place!! Everything is so clean, staff is very friendly. Sarah is amazing at what she does and gives me exactly what I want every time I come in. I went in for a nail fix today and she was able to get me in and out so quick without compromising quality!

Desiree S.

Absolutely love this place and am so glad we discovered this gem!! My brother and I have been coming here since they opened and have never looked anywhere else since. Sarah is the absolute best with nails and design! Definitely am treated like family here and recommend it highly! Pedicures are amazing too ( try the cucumber or lime zest one!)

Was in the area and was looking for a little pampering, and a pedicure at this salon did not disappoint! The staff is really nice, prices are fair, and the massage chairs have a little extra than standard chairs (arm and shoulder massage features, plus airbags for your bum and legs!). I'd definitely try it again when I'm in the area and want something a little extra. read more

I have been going to this salon since January 2018. When I first went they were Queen Nails at Colonial Plaza. My toe nails are somewhat problematic and the folks here have always done a good job for me. On my visit yesterday, 4 October 2023, I discovered that the salon is under new owner/management and has been completely remodeled. EVERYTHING is new and very beautiful and most importantly extremely clean. The new massage chairs are the best I've ever experienced... I wish I had one at home. ;-) Dean and Sarah are the owners and extremely friendly and personable. My technician was Sarah #12 (Hanh) who was clearly experienced and did a great job. I cannot personally speak to the work of specialty polishes/gels, whatever but the women customers who were there seemed very happy. read more

My daughter, my friend, and I stopped here to get our nails done. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating. The wait time was minimal and they started us pretty quickly. They were helpful with finding a color (I was being a little picky and had a hard time deciding). My daughter and I got acrylics done - I got a simple color and she had an inspo picture from Pinterest. My friend got a pedicure. We all walked out of there being very happy with the customer service and the quality of the mani/pedi. The folks who worked with us kept checking to be sure we were happy with how everything was looking at several steps along the way and seemed genuinely interested in ensuring our satisfaction. We highly recommend them and will definitely be back soon! read more

Renata and her team have created the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable. They remember you, they take their time with you, and somehow make something that could feel awkward feel completely normal and easy. What keeps me coming back is that it never feels transactional. You're not rushed in and out like some commercial chain places. It feels personal, clean, professional, and genuinely welcoming every single time. And after calling around Orlando comparing prices, I realized their pricing is actually BETTER than many of the big-name wax places while still giving a much more personalized experience. Brazilian $68 Underarms $22 Full Legs $80 If you've been thinking about getting a Brazilian wax, especially for the first time, this is honestly the place I'd recommend. The comfort level alone makes all the difference.

Her expertise and presence were so much appreciated, I tend to rush through appointments, but Joan's calm, confident approach slowed me down in the best way, she took her time to make sure everything was done perfectly, every detail, every step, turning what's often a painful or uncomfortable experience into something smooth, professional, and even relaxing, Her skill and precision completely changed how I think about waxing and hair removal, she's not only incredibly talented, but also deeply dedicated to doing things the right way, not just the quick way, I left feeling refreshed, confident, and grateful to have found my new go-to professional. Also skin as smooth as silk. When I learned she also offers laser hair removal, I knew I'd found the perfect person to trust for the long term, Joan is truly exceptional, a perfectionist in the best way, and an absolute pleasure to be on her books for laser next week, if you're looking for excellence in waxing and hair removal, Bare Me Waxing is where you'll find it,

Waxing isn't a pleasant experience, but between the comfort wax EWC uses and the expertise of the specialist, there was minimal discomfort. The room itself was clean and sanitized. I've been to other wax centers and salons, and this was by far the best! Since this was my first time going to EWC, I was able to take advantage of their first-time customer promotion. It seems that they run other promotions frequently and have a decent point system. Before I checked out, the receptionist gave me a ton of samples and some information on packages without pressuring me to buy anything.

***UPDATE*** The "Manager" from Spa Bar just called me 4…read moretimes in a row!!! I picked up the first time. She sounded young, difficult to understand, but she asked angrily what my problem was... said she called me 2 years ago & that she had resolved this for me. She did not resolve anything for me, & did not make me feel any better, not then, definitely not now. She wanted to pinpoint when exactly I had my Brazilian waxing done. I wasn't going to be interrogated, harassed, or gaslit. I told her that I've been there more than once, & I don't appreciate her calling to argue with me. I am entitled to an honest review of my experience & my feelings concerning it. She sounded argumentative wanting to argue the exact date & what happened, saying she had video proof. I told her that I've been there more than once, & left the room at different times & there is nothing to argue about. She has never cared about my feelings & experience there. The Brazilian waxing covers a delicate area, you need to trust the place you go to, and this Manager woman just makes the whole experience so much worse for me. I should have never given this place my business in the past, should've stayed at a better sugaring place in Oviedo which was honestly so extremely sweet, kind, caring, & patient. I even bought a nicely scented exfoliant from the previous sugaring place. Less painful overall also because that other place in Oviedo, FL was so much more caring and professional, protecting my dignity & privacy. Spa Bar is not trustworthy, just in MY OPINION, and they continue to disrespect me, harsh on the phone! Really bad energy there, horrible to this day... I don't like being intimidated or gaslit. I am taking another star off, down to 1 star from 2 stars last night. Now she sent me a long text, & the last part of the text is, "After reviewing the actual footage, if you still believe otherwise, then I will forward this to my attorney who will follow up with you regarding your false accusations." My review that I wrote last night: I got a Brazilian wax here, and was very nervous. The young woman was nice and let me talk nervously as I was being waxed. It hurt at times and she couldn't calm me down or make me feel better like a previous place would. It was sort of a cold environment emotionally. I quickly went to the ladies room, and saw a front desk person with her neck pressed up against the wall right where I had been laying listening to my room. I was shocked when I saw her and felt like my privacy had completely been violated. That was completely unfair. I complained to management when a woman called me, and nothing was done. Unprofessional. That was the last time I went there. I had seen high schoolers there getting their hair blown out or put up for a dance.

Tip: If you don't want to leave the spa with wet hair, add a blowout appointment right after. Monise greeted me when I walked in and assessed my scalp before heading in to the head spa room. Another tip: Use the restroom before undressing on the table. Without giving anything away or take away from your experience, it was so relaxing and serene. The soft instrumental music playing in the background, breathing in the lavender, the additional neck and shoulder massage - wow. Booking your appointment via the Vagaro app is easy. You can always call them too if you have any questions. I will definitely be making this my go-to spot for when I need a self-care or "me" day.

I had the pleasure of visiting California Nails and receiving nail care from Sarah, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I stepped into the salon, I felt welcomed by the friendly staff and the salon's inviting atmosphere. Sarah, the nail technician, was not only professional but also incredibly talented. She paid great attention to detail and ensured that my manicure was flawless. Her precision in shaping and painting my nails was truly impressive. I appreciated her expertise and the care she took to make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. The salon itself was clean, well-organized, and had a wide range of nail polish colors to choose from. My nails turned out beautifully, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I look forward to my next visit to California Nails with Sarah. If you're looking for top-notch nail care and a relaxing experience, I highly recommend this salon and Sarah as your go-to nail technician. read more

I've been a loyal customer of Sara's for around 13 years, she is an absolute perfectionist, she loves what she does very much and you can plainly see that when you visit her. She has a brand new location here at CA Nails, and I've followed her all around central Orlando. The new shop is gorgeous, very relaxing mood, beautiful furniture and the massage chair/foot baths are THE best! The best part of all, is Sara takes so much pride in what she does, that if she is personally not happy with her work- she will do it until it's perfect. And the same goes for you, she is extremely professional and easy to talk to if you need something fixed. :) Could not recommend more! read more
