It was pure fate that I couldn't make my standard Monday morning appointment so I walked in on a random Thursday without an appointment and was introduced to JENNIFER. I had been struggling to find someone in Sacramento who could do a builder gel set close to what I was getting in Napa BUT as fate would have it... JENNIFER is the answer to my prayers. Not only has she got the builder gel technique down but she is fast and really good. The cherry on top are her freehand designs read more

DO NOT BOOM WITH NANCY. highly recommend not booking with Nancy. I went in this past Saturday and showed her exactly what I wanted before she even started: chrome French tips with a little glitter on top. 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. read more

I went to get pedicures with my daughter, and at first, everything was great. We were seated in the pedicure chairs right away. We did wait about 10 minutes for service, but it was a busy Friday afternoon and we didn't have an appointment, so that was understandable. The issue started when it was time to pay. The owner told me their Wi-Fi was down, so I would need to use the ATM for cash. However, while I was waiting, I had seen other customers paying with their cards. I also offered to pay through Venmo or Zelle, but she said she only accepted those for tips. This was confusing because I've been coming here for a while and have paid her through Venmo before. I explained that I didn't have cash on me and didn't want to use the ATM. She seemed frustrated, and suddenly the Wi-Fi was "back on," and I was able to pay with my card. The next morning, I noticed my gel pedicure had already chipped on the corner of my big toenail. My daughter had a gel pedicure and gel manicure as well, and by the third day, her gel manicure was already starting to peel off. When I called about my chipped nail, the owner asked me who had helped me. Honestly, I didn't know because the technician never introduced herself or told me her name. There wasn't much communication during the appointment, even though I tried to make small talk. I understand there can sometimes be a language barrier, so I didn't push for conversation and was completely okay with that. I asked if I could come in sometime during the week to have my nail fixed. She told me to come that same day (Saturday)when I called about my toenail. I explained that I was going to be busy and out of town, and asked if Monday would work instead. Her response was, "Well, what do you want?" in a rude tone. I told her I would see if I could come in soon, and she hung up on me. I didn't bother to call back about my daughter's manicure pealing. I was disappointed because I've been a returning customer, and I expected better customer service, professionalism, and better quality work. read more

I like to get an occasional mani/pedi but I never ask for gel because I don't like to keep the color for more than a few days. This place has put gel on my hands and feet twice now without asking. They don't ask and I didn't ask. This last time (two weeks ago) they did it without me even noticing. She polishes my toes then strayed using the gel dryer and that's when I realized it. I think it's crazy that they do this especially since I didn't ask for gel, I know gel is not the norm and they do this because they want to charge more but it pizzed me off. They also did this 2 years ago at my wedding party when we all came in for pedicures, we didn't ask for gel but we all got gel and we assumed it was because of us asked for it so we all auto got it but later found out no one wanted gel or ask for it that day either. We need to easily remove the polish for religious reasons after a few days so I think it's crazy they just do this without asking now. Will not be back because I know this is not a misunderstanding it's a shady business practice. read more

I went to get my nails done here, full set, design wasn't hard, didn't involve anything difficult. The lady who worked on my nails today worked at desk 14. i didn't catch her name. She was sweet and really nice but i genuinely don't think this is her specialty. The design and nails came out chunky and felt rushed and wasn't even done properly. There's bubbles in my nails which she blamed the gel for, which keep in mind has never happened to me whenever i got my nails done and i always get gel. She didn't even have the gems to the nails. I always come here to get my nails done and i've never had them done this badly. The nails by the way aren't even filed straight, it's crooked and horrible. read more

I went to get my pedicure and the lady who served me was nice at staring but as she start offering me more high price pedicures and I said no to them she got frustrated and start acting rude. I did not like their service at all and she literally spent 10 minutes on my pedicure and start doing someone else's nails and I waited there for 20 minutes and she didn't said anything yet and I asked her like I'm waiting here for while she ignored me and she was doing another customers nails and all they were talking about tip. All the staff just need tip as they were wandering around with the reciepts. Very poor service. Never going back again.... read more

It's been ages since I last visited this nail salon. I've been trying out different salons, but none of them have really stood out. So, I decided to give this one a shot again on a Friday. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted by a friendly staff member. The service was pretty quick, and Linh did my pedicure. She was super gentle, even though I had my cuticles cut pretty deep by myself. I was a bit worried about the pain and possible discomfort, but it was totally painless. I opted for the $43 pedicure and an extra $15 for gel. It was so relaxing that I almost fell asleep! After my pedicure, I was handed off to Lisa. I showed her the photo I wanted, and she was amazing! She matched it to a tea! I was so impressed with my nails. She even remembered my name, which is a great personal touch when it comes to great customer service. All together with both Pedi & Mani came out to $128. read more

FIND ANOTHER PLACE!!! Called and requested for Angel since she was recommended by my eyebrow lady at the same place. I asked Angel to clean my cuticles while also getting a full set. Highly disappointed when she filed my nails all crooked and when I pointed them out Angel proceeded to tell me "yo eye just crooked the nail fine." Mind you she made my nails all while wearing HUGE SUPER DARK SUNGLASSES INSIDE THE BUILDING!!! Not only would she stop midway but she decided it was more important to check her Facebook, text others, AND check pictures of other people on her phone during my nail appointment. If you want to have crooked nails, be charged to the tee, be told your eyes are messed up when you point out the flaw then please go to her otherwise find someone else or go to a different nail salon all together. Definitely won't be going to her EVER!!! This review will be posted on BBB, google, etc. read more

John was very sweet and I really appreciated the extra time he put in to doing my nails (adding a matte layer to make them stronger, fixing his mistakes with the design, etc.). They turned out super cute in the end! The vibe is definitely more of a working environment and less of a spa, even a little rushed, but this was okay since I had work soon after and just needed to get them done read more

My first two experiences here were rough. I had appointments and still needed up waiting almost an hour. However, since then things have improved quite a bit! Lisa and jimmy are my favorite. They are both so kind and do a great job! The owner did my nails chrome around Christmas time and I got so many compliments. I do acrylic nails with gel. In the past I would never be caught dead wearing gel because it breaks. But not here! The nail salon stays busy.. but it's worth it! read more

I went in for a nail removal. The sign on the salon said open and staff was doing pedicures and manicures. The staff refused to give me a nail removal and told me I needed to wait until 10am because that's when they "open." Why does the sign say open and customers are getting served if it's not open? The salon is obviously open. I will not be returning. read more

I asked for dip powder and got acrylic. My nails were bumpy and my pedicure chipped less than a week and got gel.

I didn't even get serviced. It seems like this place is very hit and miss, I wasn't even greeted when I walked in. Misquoting wait times and seemed very bothered to even do my nails. I get they were busy, but there is never a need to make a paying client feel like they are a burden. read more

Went here to try out nail style for a wedding look. First time customer. The place was very busy but they did get my friend and I to a table to get our nails done right away. Didn't seat us by each other despite some tables having two seats open, they didn't even ask us. The girl that did my nails didn't speak to me at all except to pick the color of my nails. The nail tech next to us was so good about talking with his customers and it was apparent he had a return client come in. I did like the color my nail tech helped me pick. She also kind of cut my cuticle when she was electrically filing, I had the smallest sight of blood. But the thing that I am most upset about and why I have so little stars is after she was finished and I left the store, my nails had ripples and bubbles. By day 2 my DIPPED nails were peeling and chipping and they just kept getting worse. I paid $55 dollars to have 1 hour of good nails. 0/10 do not recommend. read more

I've been coming here for over 2 years with my daughter. Today I showed up at 8:56. The open sign was on and the door was open. I asked for my usual lady and was advised they don't know what time she'll be in. Then they started saying there not even open yet and I can wait until 9 to see who shows since the other 5 ladies here only do pedicures! How CONVENIENT. The service has gotten worse and worse over time. They act like they're too good for my money. Will definitely be finding a new nail shop. They SUCK NOW read more

Came here after a butch job from another salon. Was assigned John, and although I tried to tell him gel wouldn't stick to my nails (not sure why it doesn't stick, but it doesn't..peels off EVERY TIME!) he convinced me to let him try. Im now on day 4 of my new dip/gel set and I am very impressed and thankful for John's great work. No peeling, no lifting, no extra filing needed. (I do need to regrow my nails due to the original nail salon, but now - John has a new client!) read more

So much good stuff about this place but a couple key issues. The good: LeeLee did an excellent job. The work is fantastic and detailed. My chrome came out chrome-y and not just shiny. Massage was good. It's a comfortable location to get nails done. Prices seem fair. Needs help: My friend chose her chrome gel manicure color off the sample nail ring and then a regular toe color. Toenails first at the spa pedicure and then hop up and walk over for gel manicure. She reiterated the gel chrome she wanted. Turns out they didn't have that color. That needs to be told before - she got stuck with a combination of color chrome that looks nothing like what she wanted. $45 manicure with chrome should be what you want. You know? Also, they didn't communicate you can't tip once they process your card (no tip line). So I didn't add it before. And I didn't have cash to tip. And I don't screw over people who have provided a service so I had to leave and go get cash and drive it back to tip (Which I did). The day before thanksgiving that was really inconvenient, I had company visiting and I had last minute errands. Grrrrrrr. Nonetheless. The work was good and I will be back! it's the best option I have found in the area for sure. read more

nancy was rude and giving me attitude, this wasn't my first time with her. I showed her a picture of how I wanted my nails and i told her that it was missing a red french tip and she told me it was too late and rolled her eyes. I told her from the beginning and I also told her several times. She the told me she can't change it because she added the top coat. Which I understand. But it wasn't how I wanted it. Bad experience from her. The nails looked weird since it was all white nails and 1 red french tip. read more

Yesterday was my first experience with Five Star Nails as I recently moved to the Natomas area, and I was so pleasantly surprised. Going to the nail shop has become a chore for me over the past four years, a chore that I dont necessarily enjoy but Five Star Nails provided an experience that was relaxing. The nail techs that provided my services were kind and the aesthetic and the atmosphere were absolutely five stars! Angel removed an old set and did a new full set for me which came out beautifully. The shape is perfect! I'm a sucker for a good shape and Angel did not disappoint. Angel asked for feedback throughout my service ensuring my satisfaction and she was a pleasure to work with. The price was reasonable for the design I wanted and my vision was executed to a T! Linh did my pedicure and was equally as attentive. Linh also asked for feedback throughout my service and I was very pleased with my pedicure. I came in for a 6pm appointment and Linh stayed late to finish my pedicure (I didn't leave the shop till about 8:30pm). My only criticism is the request to pull money from the ATM. I understand this may be convenient for nail techs but it's a bit of an awkward exchange when nail shops insist on cash, and this day I was paying with a credit card; I would have preferred not to have to justify that. Overall, the service, quality, and vibe were excellent and I am happy that I found a nail shop that I am happy to receive services from! read more
