WORST SERVICE EVER. I had never gotten fake nails went to this place for some reason. The guy talked me out of gel and then refused to fix the nail polish that was chipped and coming off in less than 2 days! They were even rude to me about it when i drove 30 minutes to go there!!!! read more

So horrible they did the nails here. At the begging, my friends and me saw lots of people inside so we thought is good but after we try. Make out nail's skin hurt. And expensive, customer service bad. And they skip lots of step of the nails. read more

ive gone to this salon on 3 occasions, each of them being pleasant and with great results!! the nail techs i have had have all been very friendly, and always asked me what i wanted done and making sure i like my nails before anything was set and stone. i highly recommend, and i apologise if i butcher his name, Mao as a nail tech. he's very friendly, hip, talkative, and plays music other than the stores music. this place is worth the 45 min drive to toledo! read more

the most unorganized place ever!! i've never seen a place that the customer has to keep track of who is next... but if you dont.. the chances of you being skipped are very likley!! i pray we get another nail salon in franlkin park mall soon... it will humble the hell out of this place!! read more

Incredibly unprofessional- the worst job on acrylics that I have had in thirty years. The manager 'Henry' is rude and threatening, and when I asked to have them fixed, I was asked to leave. This place is the absolute worst! read more

If I could give this salon zero stars, I would. Every worker was horrendous. Everyone who walked in and was seated wanted to leave but was in fear of the workers reactions. Wet acrylic is falling off of my nails and the paint job is terrible. Please do not support this salon. My mom called and complained to the manager Henry, and was very rude and reluctant to give her name. read more

Very unprofessional staff, unpleasant environment. I was not able to enjoy and relax during my treatment at all. Service was either very slow or very rushed. Not at all worth the time or money. read more

Go here to get my nails done, shellac, French manicure. Joe does a great job. I prefer shellac over gel as there is less damage to my nail bed and the French manicure which is $5 more lasts an extra week. The service is fast, friendly and professional all in one and they did a wonderful job on my nails. read more

This is literally THE WORST NAIL SALON in Toledo. Firstly, the nail techs are NOT very skilled at all! I paid $100 for the worst full set of all time. My nails are LIFTING 2 days later!!! ‍ The shape is SHITTY & uneven. How are you all certified nail techs but don't know how to properly shape & apply acrylic...they had ONE FUKING JOB. I will Never go back. Literally disgusted read more

One of the worst places for gel polish! Got a gel manicure done on Friday by Monday morning two nails already had missing polish and the rest were chipping or bubbling up. Gel polish is supposed to last about two weeks without chipping or peeling not three days at best! Never going back. read more

I've been going to this salon every 2-3 weeks for little over a year now. Love my nail tech (Andy) to pieces. He is quick & I am ALWAYS pleased with my nails. Each visit I get a balance/fill with gel acrylic & gel polish spending $50+ at the very least. However every time I arrive, the owner (an older little Asian fella) greets me with a scowl & a bland 'What are you getting"? I'm not sure why but my pleasantries are always ignored and met with a form of irritation & tolerance. Today was the last straw! I arrived at 9:50a and waited patiently for the glass doors to be opened. I immediately say, "good morning is Andy back from..." cutting off my sentence, he interrupts with a quick & curt, "No, back on Monday" while displaying the all familiar frown. I then ask if the young woman who seats next to Andy is working today? He replies, "yes but I don't know what time." He then adds, as he turns to walk in another direction, "Maybe 10:30am." I then ask if I could speak with him off to the side when he yells, "you can speak right here!" Which was directly in the front of the store, at the counter with other patrons waiting to sign in. I ask him why he would treat a regular paying customer with such disdain when he yells, "I don't know what you're talking about," I said "I just told you. Your attitude as a business owner is insulting & has caused you to lose a valuable customer!". His reply... you don't have to come back! I walk out after spewing a few of my favorite choice words and ended with, "don't worry, I will NEVER be back! You're a HORRIBLE BUSINESS OWNER!" What bothers me most of all is that he treats customers as if he's doing THEM A FAVOR when WE'RE paying HIM for service! I have been nothing but respectful and friendly each time I've stepped foot in is salon. Never with an attitude or drama. His superior & uppity attitude is a complete turn off!! I will NEVER refer anyone to spend their hard earned money HERE and will make it a point to use every platform available to me to inform others that the owner of this establishment does not value nor respect loyal paying customers. And although I appreciate the talent and respect Andy has shown both myself & my daughter, we WILL NOT be giving a dime to the entitled thinking business owners of CALIFORNIA NAIL- FRANKLIN PARK TOLEDO! I know I'm only one person & he probably could care less but if everyone he's treated in that condescending manner (I've had conversations with other customers & employees regarding his piss poor attitude) would stop patronizing & working at his salon, he would be forced to close down! Or maybe it's only African American he detests.... nonetheless, he won't get another copper penny from me or anyone I know for that matter! Patrons of color, beware of the little Asian guy who sits in the first seat, first row....he doesn't like you and really doesn't want your money!! So don't give it to him! read more

Loved the way Tracia did my pedicure. Very friendly and personable. She listened to my needs of my toes. She also helped me pick out the beat color! read more

Drama, gossip, a mean ass owner with a shitty attitude and high ass prices. NEVER again! Oh, and I waited an hour

Very inconsistent and sloppybservice depending on who you go to. Each person also charges differently. I got really tired of paying a different price everytime for the same exact service. When i would ask why it was cheaper last time, all management could tell me is they have no idea. I will NEVER EVER go back to this place again!! read more

One of the worst gel manicures I've ever had. 4 employees were all sitting in the tiny "Gel Polish" room in the back talking about how they hate their jobs, hate the clients, and didn't want to be there. The woman who did my nails was extremely inexperienced, and said multiple times during the manicure how much she hates doing nails. I had to remind her to use a top coat. There was polish baked onto the skin around my nails, which she tried to cut off with a cuticle clipper, but ended up cutting the skin around my nails really badly. Less than 24 hours later my gel manicure was already peeling off, which is just ridiculous. Definitely do not recommend. read more

Very poor service. Girls are very nice but other then that nothing good about this nail salon. I got my nails done and 4 days later 2 of my cracked and then 2 days after that 3 fell off! Terrible place will never go there again. It was my first time and I highly regret going there. It was 35 dollars to get tips and regular acrylic nails. I looked on here for I went and didn't believe the reviews but they are true very true! read more

Probably the worst manicure/balance I've ever had. Teneshya was very unfriendly and repeatedly overdid the filing of the previous acrylic before applying new. I kept telling her she was hurting me but it continued. I paid 35 dollars for gel acrylics and the gel polish has peeled off less than 12 hours later. I wouldn't trust this place. Go somewhere else read more

Awful.Workers were having unprofessional conversation literally right in front of me (between my nail tech and another worker). The work was messy and my nails were left jagged. Got a simple french manicure for my senior recital 2 days ahead. By my recital, half of my tips were chipped. Less than a week later, they were ALL off. Their sign says will last 20-40 days...Mine barely lasted 40 hours. Extremely dissatisfied. I also work in the mall, so I was trying to support business. Never making that mistake again. Worst $30 of my life. read more

Just left and paid $40 for a full set. The girl rushed though the French manicure that I had to pay $5 extra for because another girl in the salon wanted to go smoke. There is paint all overt fingers my nails aren't straight. JUST AWFUL!! read more

California Nails - So sloppy! - Nail Salons Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

One star and that's only because you have to give something! Worst, most unprofessional place ever. The owner Henry, and manager Corina are extremely rude. Their nail tech messed up my nails and when I called Henry told me to come up there and he'll check my nails. If it was my fault they wouldn't fix it but if it's the nail tech fault they would. I went up there to the salon and Henry looked at my nails and stated that he knew his technicians work and I told him that Corina is the one who told me to go to her. Corina never denied what I said. Henry and Corina both told me that an order to get my nails fixed I would either have to go back to the girl that messed them up or if I go to another person I would have to pay full price. I asked for a gel manicure with 3 coats of polish. The girl never did my manicure, and only put 1 coat of polish. I explained to Henry because he said that it was 2 coats but gel is extremely hard to get off if applied the correct way. My nails are chipping already. I will NEVER go there again simply because I was treated so unfair and even after calling twice and coming up there he still was so nonchalant, unprofessional and rude as well as Corina. DO NOT WASTE your time going there. I see why they lost all their good nail techs and loyal customers.! read more

Worst Service Ever will never go again. Got home and nails looked terrible. Called the next day and Michael the manage was nasty on phone. Don't go to that business. read more

I went for a gel manicure on a tuesday afternoon. By friday my gel polish was already lifting on the sides. The heavyset, blonde nail technician was condescending and talked to the tech doing my friend's nails the whole time. Never returning, waste of my time and money. read more

Daughter & I both got pedicures this afternoon. Girls were super friendly, massaging chairs were nice extra touch. Only waited like 5 minutes before we started, even though we were walk ins. read more

TERRIBLE experience!!! I went to California nails on 5/21/2019 to get a full set and spa pedicure for $75 reasonably priced. The following Saturday 5/25 the polish started falling off my toes and my nails started lifting. I called 5/28 and explained my situation a nice gentleman I spoke to told me to come in the following day 5/29 or the following Sunday 6/2 as it was too late too be serviced that day. I had some free time today 5/30 so I stop in around 3 and am told "come back at 4 and we will be able to fix them." I come back after an interview it is now 5:00pm and I am told to sit and wait to speak with the manager. I then explain to her all the events leading to that moment she says to me that they have a policy that they cannot fix my nails after a week from the original date of service. I explain that I had spoke to someone in that time and she then said I needed to speak with her but also informed me she was not there the day I called or the following so how I was supposed to have done that is beyond me, but whatever. This place is extremely racist as I witnessed an altercation between one of the male employees and an African American female client whom they overcharged $70 for a polish change and pedicure. She was asked to leave the property after he called security on her although he chased her out of the store. All of this is happening while I am there being serviced. I Will NEVER give another dime to California nails! I will post several photos of the current state of my nails 10 days after have them serviced at California nails in the franklin park mall. read more

Twice now I've had my cuticles butchered at this nail salon. The first time the tech cut them too close. The second time I told the nail tech about the last person who cut my cuticles too close and she said she removes the cuticles with a drill, so it's a different process. Turns out the drill is not better and possibly worse. Both times I left with bleeding cuticles that took a week or so to heal. I've had manicures at other places and never had this problem. I think they are either rushing to turn over clients or the nail techs at this salon were the C- students at their cosmetology school. read more

The outside of the salon looked really nice, so I was enticed and excited to try it out. To be honest, the nails and service were nothing like the decor of the salon. The nails were subpar and the service was quite rushed and the workers didn't seem to care about the quality of their work, just that they could finish quickly in order to get more customers. I definitely won't be returning, especially when the other nail salon in the mall is so much better. read more

My daughters and I went there for a set of nails. They did a horriible job. I was embarassed to show anyone. One was crooked and they were real think. The owner did one of my daughters and he did a hack job one them. The shape looked dipped in the middle and the polish looked like a 7 year old did it. read more

My friend and I decided to get manicures here. So we signed in and they told us it would be 20 minutes. More than 20 minutes had passed and they finally told us we could go sit at our respective tables. My experience was uncomfortable because of the talk going on and the constant shouting and confusion between employees. The manicurist at the table next to me was constantly talking about race issues amongst the employees, while my manicurist explained how she doesn't get along with another employee who works there. Just a very uncomfortable experience. The finished product was less than satisfactory... there was still dirt under my nails, little pieces of skin/nail coming out from underneath the tip of the nail. The nails were left jagged in some spots. This is the perfect nail salon if you like to wear sweatpants in public, don't put your phone down when interacting with cashiers, or have multiple children with multiple people. read more
