Mediocre job. But very fast. I try a lot of places and this would be a place to try in a hurry. Friendly staff and good prices.

The first time I went here the experience wasn't my fave but I have found a God sent manicurist! Listly is THE best manicurist in SB and I've tried EVERYWHERE ! She knows how to do all the trendy jewel embellishments , she takes her time and does not cut corners. I love her and Tammy so much! They always fit me in and do an excellent job ! Ask for Listly and Tammy they are the best! read more

I had my nails done at Fancy nails for the very first time. THEY WERE AMAZING. Took me in for an appointment promptly and were very warm and accommodating. I have never had such a great experience as I had here. My nails looks amazing. The woman who did them made sure that she was giving me what I requested by doing a trial on one nail, allowing me to decide if I wanted anything changed. I can't stop looking at my hands- they look so good! I will be recommending Fancy nails to everyone I know I'm the area and coming back regularity! Thank you!! read more

Fancy Nails - The place to get your nails done right! - Nail Salons Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

For walk-in service while I was doing my laundry this was perfect. It wasn't fancy by any means (especially the back room for waxing). but it was efficient, fast, and a decent price. read more

Awesome place, very polite and nice workers, my gel manicure looks great! I will be back! read more

I am so disappointed in the service I was given today. Not only was I overcharged, but the nail tech cut me 3 times!! Blood and pain and acted like it wasn't a big deal- definitely wouldn't recommend, went to relax and get pampered. I didn't get to do either ! read more

If I could give you zero stars I would but unfortunately I have to give a one star in order to even put a review I called made an appointment for a select a time ask them for the price of simple short gel manicure. they told me $45 I get there she tells me if I can wait for her daughter to get there so she can do my nails then She asked me what I wanted and I showed her the plain nails that I want literally short playing gel nails. she's like oh that's going to be 75$ like really I called to check ask price you guys give me a different price I get there for my appointment I called to scheduled. you're having me wait not just that but you're telling me a different price now you're charging me $75 that is way over priced for the simple nails I get my nails for $45 and yes I wanted to go to you guys because I wanted to try you guys Because I hear so many great things about fancy nails but if that's the charge that you were charging I am not going to check it out . you guys are close to my house but if that's the charge that you are going to charge for something very simple then I will take the service somewhere else oh not just that they are only accepting cash they are not excepting any debit cards they do not have a sign out on the window they will not tell you they will only ask you when you're done and they have a sign inside the store not On the window how it should so customers are aware before they even go in there. So if you're thinking of going to fancy nails on Carrillo to get your nails done I suggest that you are very clear to them about the price and about what you want because according to them they give you different prices over the phone but when you get there and you're done they tell you it's a different price which is really not worth it! read more

Horrible horrible horrible trash job horrible job on acrylics Uneven and chunky did not clean up cuticles and was in a rush I was really looking forward to getting a decent set of nails and service due to the reviews but never again will I step foot into this place I'll keep driving out to Oxnard where they actually have good customer service and they actually know what they are doing. read more

The owners are super friendly and welcoming :) it was my first time getting my nails done in like 5 years and they did a great job!!

Best nail shop! Fair prices, great talent and every color you can imagine. Even though I just like a simple buff. Don't get fooled by some of the bonuses other shops offer like champagne et al. If you want quality nails this is the spot. read more

While staying at the Canary Hotel, I needed to find a nail salon within walking distance and this is the place I found with the best price for a mani/spa pedi. The place was very clean and airy. The girls who gave me the mani/ spa pedi were both very nice and did a great job! I thoroughly recommend this place to anyone and everyone. read more

I tried Fancy Nails because someone recommended them for acrylic nail infills. They also talked me into a pedicure. On the nails she went too fast and cut my cuticles very badly with the drill-thing! Didn't even apologize for cutting me until I 'yelped'!! The polish job was good though. Then the pedicure... it was done by the husband who spent the whole time telling me that I had to have extra treatments - at extra cost, of course! He was not pleasant at all and also cut my feet and cuticles with his tools. Polish job was poor. And then came the bill!! They cost more than any infill and pedicure than I have EVER had - anywhere in the world! I paid it, but no tip, considering the cuts to my cuticles and feet. The killer though was in the next couple of weeks, when I took off the poor polish on the toenails and found that the unclean tools had given me a bad fungal infection!! I have never had a fungal infection before, so the only place my doctor said i could have gotten it was from their unclean tools. Do NOT go to Fancy Nails unless you want to be hurt, overcharged and get infections! read more

Had a good experience here. Chose this place because it was the best price in town, even though its nearly double what I pay in my hometown of Long Beach, CA. I had a pedicure and callous removal, which were $28 and $10 respectively. The workers were thorough and took us without an appointment. The only weird thing was that I didn't see them sanitize their tools. Usually my place takes them out of a shrink wrapped plastic envelope and u see them throw them in a bucket of sanitation liquid after they are used on me. This place, no. I have no clue whether the tools were cleaned properly. Anyway, my toes look great. read more

Beautiful nails. Quick and amazing service, Tammy is the best. Will definitely be going back. read more

Fancy Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Looked at the website saw they did design nails. Went. Worst manicure and pedicure ever. Over priced and polish chipped off next day. Have new non trained working. Paid over 53.00 and have to be redone. read more

This was the most painful and overpriced mani pedi I've ever received. She started off by filing on my bare skin on my toes and rubbed me raw and then stabbed my other big toe while she was supposedly removing dead skin. She never apologized and was extremely defensive about making me bleed. She also jammed on the nail beds of two of my fingers with the cuticle tool during my manicure and made me bleed two more times! She also neglected to use lotion or do any sort of massage. On top of all that, there was no music playing and she and another manicurist were yelling and arguing with each other during my entire manicure. It was painful and not relaxing! She also charged $46 for a gel manicure when the board says $35... ridiculous pricing! read more

As a guy I find it a little embarrassing to go and get a manicure or pedicure. Every time I come here they put me at ease. The chairs are comfortable and I love the spa pedicure (massage rollers in the seats are great). Tammy always takes care of me. The guy (I think his name is Taylor) always likes to joke around with me. Some people take him as being rude but he just has a good sense of humor. All in all I find it very relaxing when I go here (worth the wait if there is one). read more

I called to make apt for crome colors was told that had many not true, the lady did the right color but not Crome and the daughter gave me one price when I got there but st the end mom charge me $10 more so I told her that they told me other price she got furious and slammed her hand in the counter spoke her language to her daughter and she said that her daughter does not know only her b/c she's the one that does it they discounted $5 at the end but she made me feel so uncomfortable. I was surprise because I have been there before and had an OK servise read more

What can I say Tammy did such good work before now it's like she just cuts you, you tell her and she says "it's ok" as she taps the cut.., she over books and always says 5minutes..., unsanitary there has been two occasions when I go to her my toes get swollen. Not only that she has been sloppy with her work and does what she wants. read more

Convienent, clean and high quality work. Gel Pedis last longer here then most places I've tried. They are also friendly and welcoming. Nice change from the larger more institutional spots! read more

Needed to get my nails done for a night out so stopped by Fancy Nails to get a gel manicure. Gotta say, it was worth every penny and I am so glad I stopped by. I didn't need an appointment and I was helped right away. All of the staff was super friendly and the girl that did my nails was fun to talk to which helped make the time go by fast. I got some pretty flower designs on my nails and I got a lot of compliments on them when I went out that night :) Plus, my manicure lasted 2 weeks yay! Overall, great service, friendly attentive staff, and my nails looked amazing. I would definitely recommend them and go back again. read more

I've been coming to Tammy since I was 15 years old and for the following 16 years she has done amazing work, on my 3 daughters and myself. Has always gone above and beyond to make us feel right at home. Our nails and toes are always on point. I have found that if you come to her shop during the week you won't wait a long time for her fabulous work! read more

I'm a local & I have been going to Fancy Nails for years to get my acrylic nails done, and the reason I keep coming back is Tammy is the best there is in town. When she does my nails, they are always flawless, beautiful, and more importantly, durable! I've never had one break or chip, and I'm hard on them. Tammy and Taylor run an impeccable nail salon, very clean and comfortable, I love them! read more

I came to Fancy Nails on a recommendation from a co-worker. I got a spa pedicure. She did a great job and I got to sit in a massage chair while I was getting my pedicure and that was just what I needed cause my shoulder had been bothering me recently. Great job, very friendly staff. I will be back! read more

No where in sb really does nail art and I found fancy nails and gave them a shot. Ended up leaving very happy! I took a picture in and they look almost identical to the picture. Lina did my nails and she was so sweet and very professsional! I will definitly be coming back to her! :) read more

It was my first day time coming here and I'm glad I chose this place. Because I went on a Sunday and there were only two women working that day, the wait was about 10 minutes. The woman who did my nails knew what she was doing and was very attentive and methodical. She would periodically ask if I liked the shape of the nails. She worked quickly, but only because she knew what she was doing and it was great. I then got moves to a second woman who painted them. That's when it got a little weird. The entire time that she was painting my nails she was facetiming her boyfriend. And a few of my nails were not painted to the best capacity. Overall, it was a great experience. For a full acrylic set, it was $35, but because I paid with a debit card it was $36 total. Would definitely recommend coming here. read more

Excellent! Had a mani/ped, best I've had in a long time. My mani polish usually last a couple days before the polish chips, this time the mani lasted 2 weeks! Great service, I would highly recommend. read more

I have been coming to Tammy and Taylor at Fancy Nails since 1998. They are some of the most honest and hard-working people I've ever known, and they do a great job on natural, gel, and acrylic nails. When I get my acrylic nails done there, they are always done well, and they last a really long time without breaking or chipping. Of course I've tried other places here and there throughout the years, but the results are never as good. That's why I keep consistently going back to Fancy Nails. They take appointments, but they also always try to accommodate customers that just walk-in. Even with an appointment, I understand that it is often just the two of them working - all day, and sometimes their daughter helps out too. They need to earn a living, so I don't mind to have to wait a few minutes for their services if they're busy with walk-ins too. Give them a try and keep coming back and you'll see, it's worth it! read more

First time great customer service very clean my gel nails turned out beautiful! Thank you. Will be back for the next set of gel nails!! read more

Gel manicure was good but too expensive. $40 for a gel manicure with out design even. Customer service was also not very good

tammy is my go to nail lady, shes makes my nails look dope and they come out looking fresh and high quality! She knows how to style them in a way that no other nail lady can, that is why I constantly return to Fancy nails, Tammy has my heart. read more

I've been going to Fancy Nails for 15 years! NOBODY does french mani/pedi's like them...It's a family owned and operated business, and they alway remember your name, your kids names, and whats going on in your life. Thier prices are very competetive...I've tried other places, because I've been given gift certs, and I'm never happy! read more

It usually takes forever for a pedicure.... This was a speedy one (I'm a runner and my feet are usually awful). The owner is on it.... Quick, thorough and my feet are happy. I will come back! read more

My experience at FN was terrible. The entire place seemed unsanitary and I question if all tools were clean. Young, inexperienced staff. The manicurist would stop working on me to talk and consult other staff that seemed to be confused about another customer's problems. She was also touching the other patron's feet while working on mine. Weird. What I thought would have taken one hour for a combo mani-pedi would have been two hours with the pedicure first and the manicure after even though there was one technician walking around doing nothing. I walked out and glad I did. Total waist of time. read more

This place is hands down THE worst place I've ever been to!! I did not see them sanitize their tools. Used to live in sb but was there for work and staying at nearby hotel so walked here to get a pedi and a no chip. My pedi was painted unevenly..... And my no chip chipped they SAME day! I had to go back in and get it "fixed". The owners way of fixing it was using the file used for fake nails to blend off the white (got a French no chip) and re due just the white! This of course resulted in uneven work which then chipped again THE next day! When I went in again I just wanted my money back at that point. The owners reply... No money back but would re do it again! Sorry but after going back already once before to have it fixed there was no way I was going to keep coming back taking time out of my schedule for her to fix the problem!!!! Not to mention it was over 70 for a French no chip and a pedi. I live in Scottsdale and pay 60 for same service which lasts over two weeks! Crapy crapy place!!! Ps- I know a lot of people write reviews only when service is bad. If you check out my last reviews I'm the opposite... I review great experiences! This one was so bad I had to write!!! read more

We stopped in last minute for a quick gel/acrylic color change and were they were able to accommodate us. Tammy did a great job with my nails and left me very happy! I loved the quality, but a little pricey. (That's the reason we gave 4 star instead of 5, maybe Nails in Orange County are just more affordable!) read more

Worst customer service EVER. I read some negative reviews but they were the only nail salon open on a Sunday that was near our hotel. My husband & I got married the day before (Saturday) so my nails were still fresh but both our feet were hurting from being on our feet all day/night and we wanted to get pedicures. I also got a manicure just because...why not? There were only 2 girls working that morning and one customer was being worked on. They filled the water in the tub and it was so cold! My husband had to ask her to heat it up twice. The first girl started on my pedi first while my husband just sat with his feet in the water. The girl was so rushed she was doing such a half-ass job on my pedi. She didn't even massage my feet/legs as she was just rushing through it. She then started on my husband's pedi and I was asked to sit in the chair for my mani. The second girl finished on the previous customer & she then started working on my mani. She didn't massage my hands either & was so quick she did the WORST job I think I've ever had in my life. She was done with the manicure in less than 10 minutes & that includes polish. She was so rushed she almost knocked over the nail polish but I caught it before it fell. So my husband & I both had crappy service at a ridiculously expensive cost. There are a ton of nail salons in the area....go elsewhere!!!! read more
