Refused to do my boyfriend's nails because they "weren't comfortable". Are you kidding me?

I have gone to this salon several times over the last year. They are not kid friendly and have a rude manicurist. Every time I take my daughter in they treat herike she is a bull in a China cabinet despite the fact that she has been there several times and was well behaved at every visit. As to the manicurist, I got my nails done with gel polish for the first time this year. I went back to get the nail polish removed and redone and the guy doing my nails was so rude. I don't like the texture of the file on my fingers and asked if he could clip my nails into the shape I wanted them and only lightly file or not file them. He insisted that they needed to be filed into shape. While filing my nails he was visibly huffing and annoyed that I didn't like it. He was going to leave my nails in a square shape when what I wanted was a rounded shape. When I asked him to fix it he told me I would have to do it myself and to go somewhere else next time. I was so upset. I left and will not be returning. read more

This place was super clean great staff and had a great nail and toe job !!!! A must go to in oakdale !!!! read more

See all

The technician actually kept the conversation going and he was very sweet and friendly. I came in late and he did not rush at all, he took his time. I would definitely drive down from Sacramento to come here again. My coffin gel fill was $30, very good price for the laughs and the beautiful nails I got read more

I will never be coming back to this place ever again in my life . I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE IF YOU WANT CHEAP NAILS THAT OUTGROW IN A WEEK THEN DO NOT COME HERE . I also wouldn't recommend getting your eyebrows done here cuz they'll take off half your eye brows off and are very aggressive. I will rather pay the extra money to go out of town now . read more

My family has come here off and on for a couple of years. They do a pretty good job, but are SO SLOW. Plan on at least 30 minutes for a manicure and an hour and a half for a pedicure. I stopped coming because the lady who was doing my nails cut me, and I think it was on purpose. I was stressing about not having enough time to get both my sister and my nails done, so I was complaining out loud. Not ok of me, but then I get in the chair and she cuts me when she's trimming my cuticles. I had been there several times before and never had been cut. Safe to say, I only go to My Le Nails now. read more

Completely unprofessional. I had made an appointment for 10:30 for my nails. Waited about 10 minutes I didn't mind, once the lady started taking the polish off my nails a girl comes in saying she "needs" her to do HER nails. When she asked me to get out of the chair and continue to wait I told her I actually had to go to work soon. She insisted I moved. Couldn't believe it! I walked out and won't be coming back. read more

I have been coming here for about 6 years now, and I love them! They always do a great job, and are always so clean and friendly. Couldn't think of a better place to go for my nails. read more

2 weeks ago I made an appointment for back fill and Pink and white manicure, okay, had to wait about 25 min even though I made an appointment, When the tech was ready, she was not happy when she found out what service I requested. "Too long I not take you", I told her I was willing to do a regular fill and polish, she said, "okay I do that". I gave her a generous tip, as this was only my third time, wanted to establish a good relationship. Today again I had an appointment, however, another lady they knew, did not have an appointment, she was invited to sit right down, when I told them I had an appointment, another tech looked at their appointment book and stated "you have to wait. Have a seat". I did and waited another 15 min before I got up and walked out. Guess they have all the business they need, and don't require mine, or yours. Skip them there are plenty of nail salons in the area! read more

Very unprofessional unwelcoming and rude they half ass their work I get my nails done every two weeks and this by far is the worst place I've been to but I should have known because as I was leaving a lady was walking in complaining about how her nails are already chipping I will NEVER be back to this place every again they make you feel hostile read more

Not open on Sundays. They need to update their business hours. I looked on yelp on a Sunday and said they were open until 5 pm. I got here at 4 pm but it was closed and the sign on the door said they were closed Sundays. read more

Came here for my birthday with 5 other people and we made an appointment. This time they were all waiting for us. We didn't have to wait at all . All 6 pedicures got done at the same time. I really enjoy this place and soon they will be open on Sundays again ! Great job guys ! read more

I came in to get a new set. The man who did my nails did a terrible job. No detail, bulky and without a shape. He rushed the entire process and was rough when handling my hands. I honestly just wanted him to finish so I could leave. I was charge $50 for a lousy job. I then called back on Monday to let them know I wanted a color change and what had happened. They told me to go ahead and come in to change the color. The women who did my nails did a better job. I showed her how my nails look and she agreed that they were bad. Her and the manager discuss my nails done by the previous tech. At the end I was ready to graciously tip the tech, but I was charged again $20 for a color change. A color changed that shouldn't have been needed if it had been done correctly the first time. I'm never coming here again. I suggest you really consider where you spend your money and go with someone who not only appreciates your business, but understands when they've messed up and tries their best fix it. read more

Went in this place they had little to no colors ,the lady was distracted from the other lady's phone. as my nails were smooth but ever finger felt as if the were on fire, and then they tried do give me some lines on my finger that looked like my son did it ! didn't have any of the right tools to even do any designs very unsanitary using already used files and not even clean drill bits took the brush she used to dust my fingers off and then dusted the table. I've had my nails on for about 4 days and the gel polish is chipped one of my nails broke and there shape is just awful although the guy was awesome n very nice I would never stay a foot in this place again read more

Was in town for my girl's birthday and needed to get my nails done. Place was great as far as service and sanitation. Nails were on point and lasted awhile, received lots of compliments on them read more

I often come here for my nails and they have been great! The gentlemen do nice work and they have frequently replaced a nail for free if I have been too hard on my hands. The pedicures are another story. Paid for the highest level pedicure that was to include a 30 minute massage. The gal rubbed lotion in a 4 inch section of my shin for 20 minutes. I assumed this was the "massage" portion and told her to please rub harder and not on my shin. Told her twice. Each time she smiled and said ok but did nothing different. When I complained to the owner about the massage when she was done I was loudly ridiculed that yes she did do it for over a half hour. No apology, no interpreting to her when I complained twice during the pedicure. Lost my business. read more

I'm from the Bay Area but came across Fabulous Nail's while visiting a friend in Oakdale for the weekend. To my surprise they have on staff Liz a former employee of Aveda as their Esthetician. Her waxing skills are amazing and so inexpensive. If you are in the market to have your brows waxed go to Fabulous Nails and ask for Liz. Never in my life would I have imagined getting my brows waxed at a nail salon but I would go again and again. Truly a hidden gem ladies, and the waxing is on par with anything I could get in a top salon in San Francisco. Her pedi's are amazing as well. read more

I went to this nail salon for the first time a couple weeks ago. They were nice but I was not happy with my services. I went with my sister. We were both getting pedicures and she was getting shellac/color change on her nails. We were there almost 2 hours because they didn't do her manicure at the same time as our pedicures. Everyone's time is valuable and they should take it into consideration. They need to work on their scheduling... Or hire more staff. Several clients came in (even ones with appointments) and were asked to come back. They ones that came back continued to wait. As for cleanliness... All nail care tools should be clean before each use. The tools used were tools that was just used on a previous client. The regular nail file were used as well. This should be new each for each client. The cuticle cutters used were rusted. While I was there, I watched as one of the nails techs "popped" off the clients nails before starting a new set. This is painful and dangerous! They should be filed down, soaked..... The client was in obvious pain as well. read more

I have been to nail salons in Tracy and Stockton. I get gel manicures. At those salons the polish barely lasted two weeks. I was on my way to Black Oak and an Oakdale friend suggested this salon. What a great recommendation. It's been a month since the manicure. There is not one chip! The pedicure was awesome! So much time was taken with the massage that I almost fell asleep. Clean, well lighted, roomy facility! Friendly staff who know how to provide customer service read more

Walked in late this evening for a full gel set after work. They were so accommodating and were able to fit me in for an appointment! Nails look great! read more

This is the best nails shop in Oakdales. I've been to all the nails shops in Oakdales, this nails shop is by far the greatest one with excellent customer services. This nails salon is big in compare to any other ones in town. The place is always clean and sanitized. I had always received best services from Teresa, Tan, and Leon. They show curtousy and care about their clients. The salon can be very busy. Make sure to make appointments with them if you don't want to wait, or call ahead of time before coming in. read more

I've tried multiple nails salons in oakdale and this is by far the best. Excellent pedicure service and they did not rush through.

Not happy with the shellac nails I received. My thumb chipped that same day and then my middle finger lifted and peeled off 3 days after. Pictured is my nails today, only 4 days after I got them done. Waste of money. read more

Nice pedicure place in Oakdale. Very pleased with how clean their salon was and how very friendly the staff were. Will definitely be back

Great nail salon in Oakdale. Newly renovated, very clean and great service. Best pedicures and shellac in town.

My mom, daughter and I have been coming here for about 6 months. I give it a 2 star overall because they are so inconsistent with there quality of work and politeness. In the beginning we thought we found a good salon but for the last 3 months we have had to come back multiple times to have our nails fixed from chipping to the gel completely peeling off only a couple days after visiting the salon. Today I decided to write this review because my mom calls ahead of time and asks if they have time for a full set acrylic, pedicure and to paint my daughters toes. He says yes if you come now we have time. My mom replied with we will be there in 5 min. We arrived with in 3 min. He then tells us no sorry we no longer have time for all of you only the full set. This drew the line for me because there professionalism is so inconsistent. Quality of work and nail polish is low, politeness all depends on the day, they use tub liners for pedicures but reuse buffers, files etc. Sanitary I give a low. We are now on the hunt to find a new salon. I hope this review helps you on making your decision. Good luck salon hunting. read more

I suffer from an ingrown toenail. It is the most painful thing. Tan was amazing and carefully fixed the problem perfectly. They pay attention to detail and are very good with your feet. The massage was definitely the best i have ever had from a pedicure. I will be back every month! read more

Thank you Fabulous Nail. Your knowledge and friendly atmosphere is so refreshing. Your detail to perfection is just a reminder of the respect you have for your customer. I have made me a standing appointment just because I enjoy my visits. I work hard for my money and really appreciate the service I receive here at Fabulous Nails Oakdale Ca. FYI this site is under new management. read more

love going here! i live 45 mins from location but the drive is worth it every time. very friendly always have beautiful nails that i get compliments on. will definitely recommend. read more

They do not wash their bowls out! I watched three women come and go not one of them had sanitizer sprayed, I left early from my pedicure I called to speak to the manager about it the guy that answered the phone would not let me speak to the owner he took my phone number from caller ID and has been harassing me for the last 24 hours.... read more

Came here for the first time and was HIGHLY IMPRESSED. The prices were decent and the staff were friendly and eager to please. They took their time with my pedicure and my toes felt fantastic!!! They weren't pushy when offering other services like most of the other nail salons I've been to. Give them a try, I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND this spot!!! read more

Absolutely disgusting, they do not wash out their bowls before or after pedicures, no sanitizing spray or anything. Reported to the board!

They have bad customer service and TERRIBLE communication. The pedicurist does not speak clearly; he mumbles, and I have to ask to repeat multiple times. They are nice, but not very professional. I wanted the best pedicure possible and I told him (I had called ahead and set up an appointment), but they ended up giving me the minimum with a $5 extra callus scrub or something, and I can not tell the difference. My feet look the same as they did (my nails look nice). The entire pedicure appointment lasted about 15 minutes. But the polish is cute. He did not trim my nails, did not clean under them. Might have pushed cuticles back. So I pretty much paid $30 for cleaned feet that I could have done myself and a painting which is a bit better than what I could do. It seemed throughout the entire appointment that he just needed to hurry so he could be done. And that's what the work showed. Half assed. This is my second time going there. First time was for acrylic nails. The next day, the nails started coming off of my nails starting near the cuticles. I came back because it's never busy (red flag), and hoping that their pedicures were better. They are worse. $30 is NOT close to what it was worth. More like $10- $15. These people suck and I hope it closes down and a new, better salon moves in. read more

Love love love this place! The girl (unfortunately can't remember her name, nor how to pronounce it) was amazing!! I had a full set gel acrylics done and they are so smooth and flat. And she started and finished in about an hour and a half. But the time flew because she was so sweet and talkative, but not to the point of being annoying. I had passed this place so many times before and never thought to go on but then at 5:00 all the other nail places said I would have to wait, but the guy who answered the phone told me to go ahead and come in and they would squeeze me in. Just a great experience from the very start. read more

I've been going to Fabulous Nails for about 2 years now and I love it there. Their staff is wonderful and they all do a great job. They really take the time to get to know their customers and to make them happy. Cash is my nail guy and I wouldn't go to anyone else! He's personable and knowledgeable in what he does and I always walk away happy. And Liz does the best waxing any where around. She is highly qualified and once worked for Aveda (I believe). She knows what she is doing and she is the best. They have really tried to make the salon into a warm and relaxing atmosphere with relaxing music, hot teas, excellent all natural products and a terrific staff. read more

Alrighty people. i have never written a review on a forum before. But after this particularly annoying encounter i decided to start. so i went to fabulous nails 4 days ago. on the fourth day 5 nails didnt peels off, just fell off. so i called and explained my situation and she said in her non-understandable english that it would cost me 25 dollars. i said no. i paid 30 dollars for everything and you guaranteed that they would last 2 weeks so i do not want to pay 25 dollars for 5 nails. and she said ok 18, and she kept repeating e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. and then i said no you dont understand. i just want 5 nails re done no manicure, just the shellac. and she says ohhh you come in and get it free. so i repeated "free?" a few times to make sure and she said yes since they didnt last. so i get there and get the same girl who did it and she starts taking off the nails that were fine and i said no leave this alone just need re done on the ones that arent there. and she smiled and said ok and kept freaking doing it. so she said ok this will all be 18 dollars and i said excuse me and explained the phone call. and the lady who answered said she never said it then said she did but since the person already took one off it would be 18. EXCUSE ME I TOLD HER NOT TO TWICE. and she just kept explaining why it had to be done this way, i already heared her and it was ridiculous. i told her on the phone i would rather go somewhere else if i had to pay 25 or 18 because another place said it would be 5 to redo it. so after them half talking to me in english and then laughing with each other in whatever dialect they speak i told them i was leaving and she kept trying to get me to sta saying ok ok i will do for 18. do i look dumb ? i already said i dont want to do 18 and telling me like its a deal is not going to make me stay. so please. do not go there there are so many other places that are better. there was a place that made me bleed and honestly i would rather go there. i only gave it one star because i had to. if they had a negative star they would get a thousand read more
