    Got my pretty pink Valentine nails done today with Kelly! Creative Nails and Spa is under new ownership with a new look and updates inside. Prices are reasonable and my nails always look great! Check them out.

    New ownership alert!! The best nail shop with the best nail techs has moved! I have gone to Mindy for years now and I leave satisfied every time. From the service to the overall work, she goes the extra mile and is so consistent. I will follow her wherever she goes! Highly recommend this shop!

    Minh did my manicure (full set). I fell in love with his work I never had anyone do such a neat and even job. Very beautiful and elegant. I never leave reviews but I really wanted him to get recognized. Thank you Minh!

    Terrible paint job

    I visited Creative Nails and Spa hoping for a relaxing day with my daughter and mother, but unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory, and I will not be returning. The nail technician who assisted me was unprofessional and seemed disinterested in addressing my concerns. The gel polish used was clearly old, leading to an uneven application with visible imperfections like chips and pebble-like substances embedded in the polish. Despite my attempts to point these issues out, the technician dismissed my concerns, claiming they would resolve after curing under the UV light, which they did not. Moreover, the technician's handling was rough; he jerked my hand around and continued to work in a manner that caused discomfort. At one point, he stopped my session to count money for an extended period and then failed to resume the service with basic hygiene until prompted. I literally had to tell him to wash his hands? After several attempts to rectify the situation with different polish colors, which all presented the same problem, I decided it was best to leave the service unfinished. He kept cutting me and was rude. Despite the poor service, no discount was offered, and I was charged $211. Even their payment system had issues as their Apple Pay was not working. This vibe was just off. And upon leaving I noticed everything is old here. Overall, I was highly disappointed with the service and treatment at Creative Nails and Spa. I hoped for a delightful experience but left feeling frustrated - no apologies, nothing. And all I wanted was a manicure and with a pink French tip with powder. Instead I got a half finished set with acrylic. (The girls who know, know). I recommend looking elsewhere for nail services. (PS, I did find a spot around the corner called Natomas Nails who were able to do a wonderful job).

    we went to this place we asked for a design. He said he could do it but then when he's almost done with the nails, he said he couldn't do the design and we had to pay him $45 for no reason for basic nails do not come here they're not creative

    First fill w/ Diane
    Allyssa P.

    This review is for my full voluminous lash extension with Diane as well as my first fill: So I bought the Groupon for the eyelash extensions back in February and called to make an appointment that same day. Diane answered the phone quickly and she got me in that week! I had my appointment on 2/13 and it lasted for less than an hour. Diane was really sweet in asking what I wanted and trying her best to give it to me. I have no eyelashes at all and she put the volume lashes on me and they turned out pretty good but they weren't as full as I wanted. Diane was really reassuring, asking if I liked them several times and explained it was difficult for her to fulfill the voluminous affect I wanted because the lack of natural lashes I had. No biggy, I appreciated her truthfulness and explanation. I stayed away from water for two day's like I was told to but I still experienced a lot of fall out within the first week. Primarily in the corners and ends of my lashes. This was really disappointing and ladies, we all know once they start falling out you look kind of unkept. Lol, after 2.5 weeks I needed a fill because of all the fallout. I called for an appointment the day prior and Diane was once again able to get me in right away. Unfortunately, when I arrived 10 minutes late she was running behind with another customer. I waited quite awhile before she got to me which was a little concerning considering I had an exam several hours later and I noted that to Diane when I booked the appointment. When she finally got me in the room I made sure I was gonna be done in time and she reassured me I would be out of there on time. In less than 45 minutes my fill was finished and my lashes looked bommmmb. This time she was able to make them fuller and I was so happy! She was really apologetic about the late appointment and even gave me $10 off! No doubt, Diane gives great customer service!! However, I did have some fallout later that day! What a bummer. I'm not sure if I'll go in for another fill because of quick fallout I continue having but if I do, I'll update this review! If you're looking to do extensions for a small amount of time then I would highly recommend Diane!

    For this review I'm writing on behalf of my mom. She went to this salons for a pedicure, which she doesn't do often and wanted to treat herself. Her experience was poor and she left the salon needing to re-do her pedicure at home! The technician kept poking my moms toes/feel painfully with her own nails and the salon was not very clean especially in the nail drying area. The nail polish was bubbly, bumpy, uneven and it was just a bad job. No one offered to fix it and let her walk out paying 30$ for a poor nail job. I will let the photos speak for themselves but it is just disappointing hearing her experience since she doesn't get pampered often and doesn't have a yelp to look at reviews.

    Messy polish

    I been there couple times and this place failed me every time. I made an apt before getting there. Amy rushed me because her other customer was waiting. She keeps telling me that I don't have time to do nail art, she repeated herself many times. Then I asked her why did you give me an apt? Her response was I know but I don't have a time. I even showed the design if she would be able to do it. I am person who does like to argue. I paid myself and walked out. My nails were all bumpy and gel polish was spreader everywhere. My two toe nails were also infected two days after the pedicure.

    so many choices. Gel is always my way to go.

    Kevin I believe is his name although receipt said Brandon P ? IS DA BESTEST in the shop in my opinion. This is the 2nd time he's done my nails & they are the best out of all the times I've been there . The nails are PERFECT to me. He moves fast and pays REALLY GOOD CLOSE attention to detail .

I was taken right in when I arrived, which was a great start. I had a pedicure first, and the technician was so kind and sweet. I wish I could remember her name b/c she made the experience relaxing & enjoyable. Then I had my manicure done by Lily & she absolutely exceeded my expectations. I chose a cat-eye design with 3D flowers & she incorporated a beautiful French tip technique that turned out even better than I imagined. Not only is she incredibly talented, but we had such a wonderful conversation that made me feel so comfortable & welcomed. I've been to hundreds of nail salons over the years, but I've never had one nail technician I wanted to keep going back to - until today. Lily has officially become my go-to nail artist. She earned a lifelong customer with her talent, attention to detail & warm personality. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about her work & her clients, I highly recommend asking for Lily. I can't wait for my next appointment!

I wasn't asked what powder I wanted, and I noticed right away that the most expensive option was being used. I went with it, hoping the final result would be exactly what I wanted. While the set is still beautiful, it's not quite what I had in mind. The staff here is incredibly nice, which made it hard for me to speak up when things weren't going as planned. For example, my nails were cut into a shape different from what I wanted, but at that point, it would've been difficult to fix, so I just went along with it. For the design, I initially wanted hearts across all my nails but ended up settling for just one because I felt it would take too long. I also didn't want dots around the lips in my design, but they were added and I didn't have the heart to say anything. In the end, I paid $90 ($75 plus a $15 tip), which is more than I've ever spent on my nails. I recall a time when nails didn't cost an entire days wage for someone. I honestly should just not care about price leave tipping out. I'd prefer to pay less and tip higher and that is because I grew up with very old fashioned grandparents While the quality is great and the staff is wonderful, it's a little frustrating to pay that much and not get exactly what I wanted. That said, this experience was a lesson for me--I need to be more vocal about my preferences. Y2K Nails does great work, and I'd still recommend them, but I'd advise making sure you clearly communicate what you want from the start!

She immediately told me it couldn't be done because she would have to add a base. Even after I told her to just add the base, she kept making excuses about the cost and saying it wasn't possible. ​I ended up settling for a standard white tip, hoping the glitter she chose would at least look decent. It wasn't what I wanted at all. The worst part is that as soon as she finished the very last nail, she admitted that we could have done the chrome at the beginning, but it was "too late now" because the white was already on. ​This is the second time she has done this to me. She waited until the job was finished to tell me she actually could have given me the design I asked for. I told her straight up that I wasn't happy. If you want someone book with Angel instead. I've gone to her before and she is great, but definitely avoid Nancy.

There were a few red flags that I should have paid attention to. I called on a Saturday morning, the weekend of labor day. I asked if they had morning appointments and the woman said yes, and didnt ask for my name when I confirmed what time I wanted to come in. Upon arriving, there was absolutely no other customers there, which i assumed was because of the holiday. I asked if she was able to do gel x, and she confidently said yes. I've gotten gel x done for years, so I know each step of the process. Upon choosing the sizes for each nail, the first sign she wasn't confident with gel x was she didnt buff out the gel x extensions. Then when it came to applying the glue for the gelx nail, she didnt have the correct light, not allowing it to cure correctly to my nail bed. I had about four nails that had air bubbles in them, or were lifting on the sides. I normally dont speak up, however I didnt want to get water under my nail and get an infection. So i asked if she could remove them. They easily popped off, which showed they weren't applied correctly. The woman doing my pedicure, bless her heart, was VERY slow. At this point I was just ready to leave. I ended up just getting clear polish on my hands and feet, and still ended up paying 90 dollars (10 was tip because somehow I still felt bad ). I understand she had to use the supplies but I dont think I should have left the salon paying 80 dollars, when the employees were not capable of what i asked for before sitting down. I will not be returning and hoping I can find my forever nail salon soon.

She said because there is more design it would be $10 extra, which was totally fine with me. After finding out that she could not fulfill the original design, I decided to change it to hearts. The lady replied OK now I know what to do and proceeded to do her own design with hearts. The hearts were randomly placed as you can see, and she didn't even match the hands. After I paid, I went to grab food and looked down at my hands and saw that the hearts were smudged. I then called them back and said that the hearts were smudged and over the phone. She said that the acrylic must've not dried all the way. I go back and point out where it's smudged and she proceeds to tell me that the acrylic was dry. I told her that I know that the acrylic was dry, but as you can see, the hearts are smudged. She continued to gaslight me and say that they were not and after 10 minutes of going back-and-forth, she finally sat me down to change it. I told her what I specifically wanted, and she proceeded to tell me she could not do that because then it would smudge. I asked her why the other hand was perfectly fine, and this one was not, and she did not reply. I should've took it as a sign that there were no other customers and when she applied their acrylic, my nails were burning. The nails are also extremely bulgy and they have bubbles in them.

I called on a Sunday, was able to get in around 1pm. Things I liked: there were customers already here!

It was easy to see that she had done gel x before, as she knew how to prepare the nails and put them on. She also did a great job with the black French tip AND spider web I asked for. Some things to keep in mind: They are cash only. Definitely prefer to be able to use my card and tip in cash. Luckily I already has cash but they do have an atm in the salon, and there is also a credit union in the same shopping area. She did ask a coworker to help her with putting my gelx nails on.
