Tina is a wizard , she always does a fabulous job . They are seriously the best in Davis , you will thank me :)

French Tip Fill on top and Ombré Full Set on bottom!

New to Davis and wanted to try a new nail salon! Me and my friend loved the owners. They were super kind and welcoming and did an amazing job with our acrylics. I got a full set and my friend got a fill. They were patient and took their time making sure we liked the nails! Will be coming back.

I def recommend G Nails! I have come here a few times and always leave happy. This spooky szn Tina out-did herself! :)

Fantastic set done my Tina at G Nails. Her and Kieth have always gone above to make my dream nails come true. Highly recommend this spot. Great prices, amazing attention to detail, and overall great people. Their salon is always clean and relaxing. I cannot recommend them enough!!

They're good. I got acrylic nails which ended up being dip acrylic instead of shaping the acrylic mixture which I was used to so that was unexpected and not my favourite but not bad. I will mention they only take venmo, zelle, or cash which was unfortunate for someone like me from out of the country, however they have an atm inside. I just wish this had been advertised to me on the website or something. Overall not a bad experience for the one time I went, would consider going back.

After pedi !! Lmao ignore my sandal tan please !!

Best Nail Salon in Davis. GO HERE!!!!!! They are understaffed because of the pandemic, and as a result, do not do walk-ins, but by appointments only. You can easily get an appointment for the next day. My appointment was for 12:30, was seen right away, and I believe I was out ~1:45. I made an appointment for a mani/pedi, no gel. Not only did Keith give me a long and strong massage, hot stones that were actually hot, callus removal, lotion, hot towels, cuticle care, etc, but watching him effortlessly put the polish on, in seconds, was so satisfying!! We talked the whole time and he told me about his kids in college and their career goals and aspirations, along with how hard it's hit their business during the pandemic. It really makes you want to support this business, like many Davis locals do. The female nail tech was super friendly as well, smiled and asked how my day was and asked what shape I wanted, asked how I liked it throughout her shaping my nails as well. They accept cash, card, Venmo and Zelle. Entire treatment was $43, without tip.

absolutely obsessed with my nails! My first time getting acrylics and Tina (and her daughter!) were absolutely awesome. Cannot recommend enough! Plus a super cute salon :)

Highly recommend! I've been going here for years and they only get better. Tina is an artist! Her latest creation was done freehand. Just showed her an IG of what I wanted and she improved on it.

3 weeks later and still going STRONG! These nails just won't quit. I have a lot of grow but I'm rolling with it because not a single nail has chipped. I'm not sure how they did it. I'm super active and not the most careful person in the world and they're in great shape.

Absolutely gorgeous I got my nails done by the owner and she did the most amazing job. I got a Full Set of Gel Powder in the color #510. Cost $60. She was extremely welcoming and we chatted the whole time. Very gentle with the nail file and meticulous. The shop is family run, been up for 12 years and their experience shows. They are short staffed so I would call in for an appointment before coming. 10/10 would come back. Thank you!!!

Heer S.

Update: just want to show you guys how good it looks a month later. No peeling or chipping, just grown out they did such a careful job shaping my nail to what I wanted. They're always so good to my nails and do such a good job with gel, it lasts for a while (3 weeks) the only reason I get them redone is bc my nails grow out. Annnnndd all for $25 love th

I've gone to G Nail twice for dip nail extensions and had appointments with Tina, and both were very pleasant experiences! It took 3 weeks before I had any lifting and needed a fill and I work with my hands a lot so I was surprised. Tina always makes sure I'm happy with the nail length and shape, and always does an amazing job!

It was too painful so the lady finally was willing to soak my fingers. She said it takes too much time than just pulling it off.

Sarah W.

I went there to remove my acrylic nails. The lady didnt soak my nails first, instead she tried to take it off brutally by using other fake nails. THIS IS NOT THE PROFESSIONAL WAY TO REMOVE ACRYLIC!!!BUT THEY SAY IT'S OK !!I told her it hurts so she soaked the other ones remained. I asked her why she didn't use it at first, she said because it takes too much time to remove it. (so she rather makes her customer feels extremely painful than using the proper way)After soaking my nails, she used the drill and accidentally went to deep that hurt my actual nail. It was too painful that I screamed and told her to stop. The guy (manager?) asked me to leave and told me this is how they remove acrylic nails. i went to other nail salons in davis and they said what she did was a total bs and she was just trying to save her time. Look at my nails they look so awful. No apologies. No compensation. But ask me to leave with a really bad attitude.

Keith is an amazing nail artist and photographer. It was my first time here and I requested a manicure with a full set of acrylic nails and gel color. The two hours I spent here was more than "here's what I want, I'm going to sit here until you're done." I really enjoyed that Keith seemed invested and excited for the shape and style I requested. He noticed a small cut on my cuticles (NOT from him) and warned me before spraying alcohol on my finger. Truly I have not felt more comfortable as a nail salon place and I appreciated Keith's attention to detail. I spent the rest of my day doing intensive handiwork and crafting and my nails still look flawless. I'm incredibly impressed by the longevity of the nails so far. Gel color 349 is the most beautiful red you'll ever find (see pics!). This will be my go-to nail salon whenever I'm in town. Edit: It's been one week and my gel nails are peeling! I don't think the bottom layers were cured enough. I had a great time with them this past week but I have to knock down my review 2 stars. I'll be coming back in a few weeks and I'm sure Keith can fix it, but until then.... read more

Wanted to get my nails done before Thanksgiving this Thursday and I usually go to my nail tech back home since I live an hour away from Davis. But my nail tech wasn't working this Wednesday so I decided to find a shop here in Davis since I have some time before I go back home. I looked on Yelp and this was one of the top salons. I opted for an acrylic full set with white gel and I paid $40. The guy I went to, I didn't get his name, was really nice and always asked if the length was okay and the shape. So feel free to tell them to fix anything you don't like. Overall, I give it a 3. I like my nails to be super perfect. The paint job was okay. The edges weren't perfect by my cuticle and that's what I'm used to. But the job suffices. My nails still look nice far away. If you want just a basic color with acrylic, this place is good for the price. read more

Saw the Yelp reviews and thought I would check out the place, easy to find, right next to Dot Island Grill. I haven't gotten my nails done in Davis since undergrad (Y2K Nails, Paris Nails, Davis Nails), so it really was like a "new" experience. Made an appointment on a weeknight after work with a friend for a mani/pedi ("tropical" for both). Kiet did my pedi first, I picked OPI Elephantastic Pink. The foot scrub, mask, hot towels, massage, hot stone and lotion were really nice and relaxing! There was a discount on the pedicure as well. Kiet also did my manicure, I chose the regular manicure although they do have gel polish and vitamin gel that helps with dry nails. The manicure included sugar scrub, mask, hot towels and lotion. Another OPI color in a creamy bright orange is fun for summer. I got a little of the hand mask on my shirt but that's okay, and forgot my flip flops so got the disposable slippers. It was a nice 90 minutes total of pampering, might come back next time my friend wants to treat. read more

Amazing! My room mate and I came in for their standard pedicures and full set of acrylics. The pedicures were super relaxing, they were really thorough with getting the cuticles cleaned and scrubbed really well. A hot stone massage was also included and heavenly. I got French tips which came out really clean and natural looking. Full set was completely pain free, and they use a newer technique that doesn't require so many harsh chemicals, so no smell and no burn. She used gel polish and combined two different colors to give me the pink-ish nude I was looking for, as well as an accent glitter nail. Probably my favorite nail place ever, really happy and will be making this my usual spot! read more

Basic pedicure + acrylic + regular nail polish + 2 designs = $60 I don't get mani/pedi very often, but my experience was pretty good. I dropped in early in the morning and soon after the place filled up. They were helpful with helping me pick out the color. The pedicure and massage was pretty gentle (I'm used to harder massages). They did a really good job on the nails. Then environment looks pretty clean and sanitary. I'll definitely be revisiting. read more

Really wanted to like this place but they will have you waiting a half hour even when you have an appointment. They'll tell you, we're ready now, or just a few more minutes but then have you wait. Everyone is pretty nice, but the management is so chaotic that I didn't even get any sort of cuticle oil or lotion with my get manicure. If they can figure it out I'd gladly go back, but it really felt like an insult to tell ladies to sit and wait, and when they are polite enough to to not get mad, make them wait for longer. ‍ read more

Know who to ask for in order to at least receive a decent experience. If you don't, you'll receive someone who doesn't know how to do their job at all. Negatives - woman working on my pedicure asked me what I wanted. I pointed to the chocolate pedicure. She nodded and started however ended up doing everything else massage related except for the chocolate pedicure. They ended up taking $5 off for this. Feet were placed in little amount of lukewarm water. It didn't feel professional at all overall, just like someone volunteering to get experience. Tools did not feel clean or sanitized. - Friend was getting simple French tip nails. She realized that she was basically a guinea pig for this nail employee. Friend mentioned that another woman and man were checking up on her every 10 minutes or so to check the nail process. After it was completed, we both saw that there were air bubbles in every single nail. It was overall quite bumpy and unprofessional looking. Positives - The man and lady checking up on my friend saw her nails and agreed immediately that the nails here unacceptable. I really appreciated that they let us know to come back and he would be able to do it again but there was no time since we had to leave out of town. What was most disappointing was that we Still had to pay full price. These employees are very sweet. However it doesn't help if you're paying for full price for horrible work. I'm sorry to say that I had a bad experience with this place. read more

I've tried a lot of nail salons in Davis and G nails is the best. Anytime I see someone with a great manicure I always ask where they get their nails done and I almost always get G Nails as the response. After my old Nail technician retired, I had to check this place out. I have been there several times and have been so happy. They really take the time to make sure you get what you want. It's a clean professional shop, with great customer service. They have a HUGE selection of Gel colors (400+ I believe). Even my mom, who is very picky with her nail shape was happy with her Manicure. They seem to be proficient in so many shapes and lengths, no matter how you like your nails done, i'm sure they can do it! read more

We had a very busy day ahead of us, a wedding in one city and a reception in another city. To get this day started, we decided to do what the doctor ordered; a little relaxation The shop opened at 9:00AM, we just happened to be passing by when they opened their doors. The technician led us to their high rise chairs, almost looked like some roller coaster chairs...equipped with remote control massages. This review is not only to cover the manicures or pedicures but to also shed some light on their foot massages and their staff. They take a lot of care in preparing your feet for the actual massage; your feet are washed in hot water, calf to feet, dried off, lotioned up, treated with hot stones, hot towels...they didn't miss a beat - they even included special care in between each toe with the towel (gotta tell you, that felt amazing). One of the last steps was adding some sort of relaxing spray. I've received foot massages before but never in a this environment, getting the foot massage while seated in this high chair receiving the massage to my back, butt and legs. They are very careful in making sure the inside & outside of the building is very clean. It was comforting to watch the technicians spray & wipe down the tables, the lamps and other items on their individual work stations. The staff was very friendly & nice, greeting everyone with smiles. It is a very nice size, they offer 7 manicures chairs & tables, a sitting area and they offer some type of photography service as well. When we return to this area this is definitely a place I will come back to. read more

I'm giving out 3/5 start to this location. I would given a 4 start but theirs some few things. I went yesterday to get my manicure & pedicure after searching a lot places in yelp since I'm new in the area because I work. I live in the Bay Area and I drive 1 hr to the nail shop I always go to. But this time I was let's give a tried to another shop in Davis. I pay $60 including tip, first at all I don't know why they always complain when your nails are short. I like to have my toes nails short. Pedicure was overall good just the nail polish it seems I apply it myself than them. Yesterday it good but today looks like I did. I go for my pedicure tropical and manicure the dashing. I had an appointment at 5:30 and waited around 15 min which was okay gave me time to use my colors. Later in the night I realize that my manicure they didn't completed how it's describe. I didn't get the hot stone and warm towel with 10 min massage. I had Keith he's very nice but with my manicure felt he was rushing because someone had been waiting for 20 min already. He didn't do none of the things I mentioned before. I will give them another chance just for manicure maybe. I'll come update in 2 weeks to see how my gel manicure end up. read more

I have been a very very loyal customer of G Nails until yesterday. I called and made an appointment on Wednesday for 2 pedicures on Sunday morning at 10:30. Due to traffic I called G Nails 30 minutes before my appointment and no one answered, I called them back 15 minutes later and still no answer. I finally walked into the nail salon at 10 minutes passed my appointment time (10:40) and Tina the owner says I need to wait for an hour. I say but I had an appointment and she shrugged her shoulders and says "oh well, you must wait an hour" and keeps filing this other woman's nails. I tell her I've been a very loyal customer and have brought her many clients and she just starts talking smack in her native language to Keith (her husband) and starts laughing at me. I have waited before for close to 30 minutes before I was seen for an appointment because they take so many walk ins. I'm officially done with this place. You just lost a very loyal customer due to your attitude and taking walk ins before a client who has a appointment. I'll go to a cleaner salon. P.s. Don't let Tina paint your nails! My 6 year old niece can do a better job! I'll post a picture of my botched gel fill soon! read more

One of the better pedicure experiences I've had in Davis. The ambiance is quite comfy and relaxing. Would definitely go again! The place can be a easy to miss, note that they share space with a photography company. read more

Got gel nails done 9 days ago, and although I had called the day before and made an appointment for 5:15, I was taken at 5:50. The nails looked great for a few days after. But then they starting peeling exactly on the 7 day mark. I'm disappointed, gel stays on my nails for 2-3 weeks minimum before it starts to lift and peel. read more

Nice people, they stayed an extra hour past their closing because they were backed up and my friend and I happened to have the last appointment. They didn't rush us because they wanted to close. Got acrylics with gel and came out to $40, gave me a $5 discount since it was my first time there. A couple of my nails had bubbles, the sides weren't painted all the way through, left a big gap between polish and cuticles, and the acrylic was SUPER thick. It looks good in pictures, but I'm super picky about my nails. I'll come back, but only if I absolutely have to. I'd rather go back to SF and get them done there. read more

Came here for my first time after seeing great reviews on yelp. I didn't have an appointment, I just called five minutes before and asked if they had an opening and they did! I was helped immediately by Tina. She is amazing. My nails have never looked this great and she is so friendly. I got a full set done. She took her time to make sure my nails came out nice and I liked the length. I showed her a picture of how I wanted my nails, and she did an even better job. I'm definitely coming back in three weeks to get a refill. If you come, get Tina! She's great. read more

The staff were so friendly and so communicative, and I felt like I was really being taken care of. The service is performed were wonderful and I had such a great time feeling pampered. I think it was worth the extra cost compared to the other nail salons in the area. One thing to know: the power went out at some point, and it was really awesome to see that they were prepared for a power outage with battery, powered supplies, lamps, and other things. The shop itself is really cute, very clean aesthetic while being warm.

I usually don't leave bad reviews, but this experience was honestly awful and I'm still upset…read morethinking about it. I've been to this salon a few times before for simple pedicures. The work was always rough, but it was cheap, so I ignored it. This time I wanted both my hands and feet done before a weekend trip to LA, and I specifically chose a very simple polka dot design because I already knew not to expect good hand-drawn art here. Things started going wrong immediately. While I was getting my pedicure, the woman doing my nails came over and started gluing on nail tips while literally standing beside me. Because of the angle she was working from, the nail shapes were completely crooked. She didn't even cure them properly with the lamp at that point. Then I looked at my toes after the pedicure and was shocked. I still had an old extension left on one of my big toenails from a previous set, and instead of properly removing it first, they just painted and worked over it. One side had already come off because I removed it myself earlier, while the other side was still attached. Instead of removing the remaining extension and fixing it properly, they just painted over everything. The lengths didn't even match between the two toes. There were visible flaws everywhere. The manicure experience was even worse. The technician kept making me cure my nails under the UV lamp nonstop for over 20 minutes, basically one hand constantly under the light. When I got home that night, my nail beds were hurting badly. Typing, touching my phone screen, or putting pressure on my fingers was painful. It genuinely felt like my fingers had been burned from overexposure. On top of that, the attitude was terrible. At one point she messed up an entire row of polka dots, and when I politely asked her to redo it, she looked visibly annoyed. She didn't even clean it properly before painting over it again. As more customers came in, you could clearly feel the rush and impatience. She just wanted to finish as quickly as possible regardless of quality. I'm not someone with extremely high standards. I only expected basic nail shaping and clean work. Instead, the nail shape looked terrible, there was no structure or apex at all, and the final result honestly looked worse than if I had done nothing. The quality, the carelessness, and the attitude were unacceptable. I ended up disputing the charge with my bank because the service was that bad.

I was able to walk in with my sister-in-law, two teen stepdaughters, and six6-year-old and the…read moreamazing staff at Y2K Nails didn't bat an eye.

I requested a full removal of builder gel, a trim back down to my natural nail length, and then a regular gel polish. The removal itself was fine, but I did feel a little uneasy because the technician using the electric drill was frequently looking away from my nails while the drill was still pressed down. Once the gel color was applied, I asked for what I thought was a fairly simple leaf design. The first attempt unfortunately looked very messy and uneven--almost like a child had drawn the leaves. I ended up waiting for another technician to finish her client so she could redo the design. The second tech did improve it, but the process took much longer than expected. Overall, the solid color gel application was fine, but it seems like more practice may be needed for nail art designs.

I recently visited this nail salon and had an exceptional experience that I can't wait to share. As someone who struggles with anxiety, I'm always on the lookout for a calming environment, and this salon delivered just that. With only two talented technicians working, I instantly felt at ease. This salon's reputation as one of the longest-running establishments in Davis is well-deserved. Their commitment to detail and precision is evident in every aspect of their service. What truly stood out was how they checked in with me at every step, ensuring that I was completely satisfied with the results. This level of attention and care made me feel valued as a customer. Not only were the staff detail-oriented, but they were also incredibly friendly. Their warmth and professionalism added to the overall positive experience. The service I received was top-notch, and it's clear why this salon has maintained its reputation over the years. Though they didn't have the exact nail product I wanted during my visit, they went above and beyond by ordering it for me. That kind of dedication to customer satisfaction is hard to find. I appreciate their commitment to making sure I get exactly what I desire. I'm definitely going to be a repeat customer. The convenience of scheduling an appointment is a must since there are only two technicians. While I was lucky to walk in without a wait, I'd recommend planning ahead. The price was very good for both of us. I got a full set on bare nails for 55$ and my friend got fill for 40$. Additionally, in terms of payment, they prefer cash but also accept Venmo and Zelle, making it convenient for customers. Overall, my experience at this nail salon was outstanding, and I look forward to my next visit. read more

This is probably the best looking nail salon I've ever seen. The walls are decorated and there are hanging lights that make the shop look very sophisticated. Not to mention, even the floor has a flowery design! The environment is so calm, I could probably fall asleep in there! I came for a manicure and my manicurist's name was Tina. She was very enthusiastic and drew the designs on my nails beautifully. She did my nails pretty fast, and they look perfect. There is also a photography studio inside of G nails. I looked at the sample pictures and they looked GREAT. Since I will be graduating soon, I also booked an appointment to have my graduation pictures taken. My plan is to get my nails done right before I have my picture taken. It's such a great convenience! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! read more

I came to Davis to drop off my son for school and decided to try a local salon instead of my regular one in the Bay Area. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. There was no warm greeting when I arrived. I was told to wait 30 minutes, but after waiting over an hour, a regular customer was taken ahead of me with no explanation or apology. As a business owner, I value good customer service, and this salon did not demonstrate it. I was ready to spend money here, but instead left feeling unappreciated.

just got my nail done today. I normally don't spend this much for getting my nails done but after trying 6 different places and not being satisfied I felt I should splurge a little to get what i want. After searching on yelp and asking friend I found G-Nail. Cleanliness; the place is spotless. Environment and extremly calm, quiet, and no TVs. Timeliness: alittle longer than what I expected but it definitely worth the wait. I got the Gel don by a lady. It's been 5 hrs and I already have gotten so many compliments. In general, I really love this place and would come back to get more services done. read more
