I've been a client for 4 years now. My nail techs, Kelly & Lynn do not disappoint. They take their time. I never feel rushed. Both are meticulous paying attention to every detail. Always leave feeling pampered. read more

Happy I found this salon! I am visiting from out of town and went to Gaia Nails today for a pedicure and mini facial. First of all, I love the calm, low lighting in the salon. The mini facial was so amazing and relaxing. The pedicure was great. You can choose the type of facial and pedicure you want. So thorough and the facial isn't was very sweet. First time I've ever had a male do my pedicure but that was fine also. I don't think he said one word. Ok with me. What a great salon! read more

Outstanding service for builder gel! I have been pleased with the 3-4 services I've received since finding a salon that does builder and have not been disappointed. My nails have never felt stronger and as long -- coming from a reformed nail biter. read more

I visited Gaia Organic Nails in Benicia for the first time in years- moved and away and totally forgot about it till today. Wow this place is not your typical nail salon. The atmosphere feels more like walking into a spa than a nail shop. It's tranquil, dimly lit, and instantly relaxing. The greeter was extremely friendly and professional. There was a small wait for a chair (maybe 10 minutes), but honestly it was expected and didn't bother me. I got a dip manicure and the lavender pedicure, and everything about the experience was thoughtful and calming. They really set the mood with soft music, low lighting, and intentional treatments for each service. Once I was seated in the massage chair, they offered to start my manicure while I was still getting my pedicure -- which I loved and appreciated. I personally chose to keep the services separate. Still, the fact that they asked showed how considerate and accommodating they are. The lavender pedicure included all the essentials but with elevated touches: * an exfoliating scrub with a generous leg massage * warm lavender gel foot soak * a leg mask * warm towels wrapped around my legs * and a hot stone massage Every step felt purposeful and so relaxing, I genuinely enjoyed every minute. For the dip manicure, I really appreciated that they did it the correct way. No curing under a UV gel lamp, just proper dip technique, which is surprisingly hard to find nowadays. Overall, this was an amazing experience. The ambiance, the service, and the attention to detail all exceeded my expectations. I will most definitely be back. read more

I wish I could give this place negative stars. This place is hands down the WORST nail salon I have ever been to. My Husband and I went in for a mani and pedi day and it was absolutely terrible. They were all so clearly mocking and laughing at all the clients in the salon. Making faces of disgust to each other as they worked on their older clients' feet. I would've recorded and posted their behavior if I had the same lack of human decency as they do. I could not believe, that I saw the "tech" pretending to shape and file my husband's manicure. She was literally filing the air while laughing and talking with her head thrown back not even looking at his hands. This place is the most RIDICULOUS, DISGUSTING and DISRESPECTFUL behavior I have ever seen from a nail salon. And to charge $30 for that poor excuse for a man's manicure is criminal. This JOKE of a place does not deserve to do business here in Benicia. read more

I've been a loyal customer for quite some time, which makes this review even more disappointing to write. During my pedicure, the technician cut my toe. The owner had to come over and show her how to properly perform the service using my feet as the example. While they attempted to correct the mistake, it didn't undo the fact that I was injured during a service I was paying for. Because my toe was cut, I chose not to get gel polish so it could heal properly. After spending nearly two hours in the salon, I ended up leaving with my nails completely bare. Despite not receiving the gel polish service and leaving with unfinished nails, I was still charged the full amount I would have paid for a gel manicure and pedicure. The issue isn't that a mistake happened--mistakes can happen anywhere. The issue is that there was no reasonable accommodation made after the mistake. Being injured during a service, leaving with unpainted nails, and still being charged full price is unacceptable. I would have gladly returned once my toe healed to have my nails finished, but the way this situation was handled completely changed my mind. Unfortunately, I won't be returning and will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

I found Gaia while searching for a place that offers builder gel, and I'm so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and kind. I ended up getting a relaxing pedicure and a manicure with cat eye, and everything turned out beautifully. The atmosphere was calm, the service was attentive, and I never felt rushed. My nails look amazing, and the whole experience was exactly what I needed. I would definitely come back again and recommend this place to anyone looking for quality nail services with a friendly staff. read more

Came in today for a mani and I'm honestly obsessed with how my nails turned out. They got the shape perfect and the finish is super clean and natural (exactly what I asked for). Everyone was really kind and the vibe felt relaxed, not chaotic or rushed. Definitely one of the best experiences I've had--I'll be back for sure. read more

Gaia Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Benicia, California

Got my daughters nails done and they didn't last a week . For $100+ for nails and they didn't last a week is ridiculous. $20 nail 3d art has came off and the nails are popping off left and right . Just terrible They also make up prices as they go ! Nails started at $65 for extensions and jumped to $100 because my daughter wanted the style French and the guy seemed to have to be coached through the process. Appointment took 2 hours and we had to wait almost 30 minutes before being seen for our appointment. Never again ! read more

$50 for the most BASIC PEDICURE? FIFTY????? This is insanity. Why is it so much? The Gaia in Vacaville is $35 which I think is a little high but definitely more reasonable. I WILL NOT BE BACK. This is thievery. I'm appalled people are willing to pay these prices. read more

Gaia Nails - Crazy Prices June 2026 - Nail Salons Near Me - Benicia, California

I had the aloe pedicure which was nice but it was $60 without tip and not that much different than a $35-40 pedicure elsewhere. It is more expensive than most salons. If you are of moderate or fixed income, this may not be the place for you. read more

I enjoy coming here for my pedicures. I like the back room's ambiance. Dimmed lights, quiet, and peaceful. Unlike other places, it's not chaotic, not a lot of conversations between the employees, and relaxing. Dan did my pedicure and he did a great job. He was gentle, had attention to detail, and the massage was longer than most. One star deduction for the price point. I chose the $55 pedicure package but came out to be $75 with gel ($20 more). After tips, it was $90. Most expensive pedicure I've paid for to date. read more

I appreciate this establishment. Excellent service and friendly staff. I will return again. I love my nails!

Love this place and it is my go to place! Kelly is phenomenal and gave me exactly what I asked for in one stroke, didn't have to keep wiping off and redoing she is very talented. Every time I come here I never have to wait. The astomoshere is so relaxing i love how it's dark and not all brightly lit like most shops. It's very unique in that way and is why it stands out from the rest. Yes it can be pricey but with all that I said it's worth it to pay the 5 or 10 bucks more. It's clean and the massage chairs are wonderful. read more

We've been coming to Gaia Nails in Benicia since 2014 and there's a reason we've stayed loyal for over ten years. The service here just keeps getting better. On this visit we tried the Gaia Wellness pedicure for the first time and it honestly impressed me more than I expected. I'm on my feet constantly for work and I deal with a lot of problem areas. Tammy didn't just do a basic pedicure. She really focused on my feet and worked on the spots that needed attention. She checked in, made sure the pressure was right, and took her time with the callus work. She's extremely detailed and you can tell she actually cares about the end result. My feet felt lighter, softer, and honestly the best they have in years. The shop is always clean, everyone is friendly, and the quality has been consistent since the day we first walked in. If you want a pedicure that is truly worth it, Gaia Nails is the place. Five stars without hesitation. read more

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience and feel it's important to share. I had dip nails done here about four weeks ago and paid $50. When I returned, the same service was $65--a nearly 25% increase in just 30 days, which already felt excessive. More concerning, though, was the quality of the service itself. During my appointment (on a Monday), I noticed the technician seemed unsure. I've been getting my nails done for years, so I know how dip nails should look and feel. These felt unusually thin--almost like regular polish--despite the dipping process being done. I mentioned this to the technician and asked if someone else could take a look, but I was told no. I left feeling uncertain, though they looked nice at first. Within two days, five nails had completely fallen off. I went back to the salon, and another came off while I was there. After just three days, I only had four nails left with any dip on them. They sat me down quickly to "fix" the issue, but unfortunately assigned me the same technician. I again asked for someone else and was refused. He replaced the missing nails but did not redo the remaining ones, even though I explained that the issue seemed to be with the foundation and that they would likely continue to fail. He dismissed my concern. As expected, within two more days, the remaining nails also fell off. For $65, I would expect dip nails to last at least a few weeks--not fail within days. Instead, I ended up sitting in the salon three separate times, each visit lasting 45 minutes or more, just trying to get a basic result that should have been done correctly the first time. This was a frustrating waste of both time and money. I gave them an opportunity to correct the issue, but the lack of accountability and quality control was disappointing. I will not be returning. read more

Been getting pedicures here for years. The options for pedicures are the best. I recommend the jelly or honey and milk pedicures.

Called to make an appointment for my daughter for a regular manicure. Was told it would be $15 for regular polish. Once we get there and my daughter is sat, the lady says "this will be $35 for the regular polish". I said "the guy who took my info on the phone told me it was $15", who was standing right next to us as this was all being said. She then said "oh, okay $15". Wtf??! She really tried charging me more than double on what I was quoted on the phone. A different lady came to do my daughter's nails, who was so sweet and did a nice job. But shame on the others. They are probably overcharging many other customers who don't know how to speak up on things like this. read more

I've gone twice in the past month and both times were great. My nails were done so well.

Gaia is my go-to for ME time every couple months. Every visit is spectacular. But yesterday was over the top. I was introduced to a new pedicure with "extra's". The technician was AMAZING. I left the salon so relaxed and feeling fabulous. The salon clean with a Zen vibe. Pedicure room is dimly lit for ambiance. All of their product is free of Toxic chemicals. Gaia is a MUST if you have not been XOXO read more

Review based on 1 pedicure: Walk-ins welcome. They seem to be well staffed. Spacious salon. I went on a Saturday afternoon, didn't have to wait, not a ton of customers there. The lady who helped me was nice. I chose a $55 service and was there a little over an hour! Paid an additional $5 for It was very relaxing. She didn't seem rushed, like how some places can be. Relaxing environment. Only issue was I asked for a rounded nail shape and she made the nails very square. Would go back! read more

Went two months on a Thursday evening for a pedicure, thought it would be relaxing after a stressful work week. The older woman asked me if I wanted my nails cut. I specifically told her NO because the last time I was here they were cut down to the nail beds. Guess what this woman did,, cut my big toe nail, now we have to cut nails even though I said NO! Then she starts digging in my toes, pretty sure she is blind and should not be doing pedicures. Then the owner comes in raw meat showing it to everyone. Finally we get to the massage part and they start mopping floors. Worst pedicure of my life, two times in a row, the last time is definitely the last tine. A toddler can give better pedicures and a toddler can a more a relaxing environment. read more

My girlfriend and I went to get pedicures.They sat us down and started on our feet without even putting water in the tub and letting our feet soak first.When we tried to communicate with them that we weren't happy with the way things were being done they ignored us until someone finally heard our frustration and came to talk to us.To make a long story short we walked out with out getting our pedicures.We've been going here for years but the last few times we haven't been happy when we left. read more

Highly recommend nail technician LT. She did an amazing job on my dip gel nails. All my nails are the most perfectly shaped I have ever had. $70 for dip gel nails and $40 for a pedicure. Although, I do wish they had offered me other options for dip gel on two of my toes as well as for my nails. The spa was nice and serene. I came on a Saturday at 2pm and it was not busy at all. I was greeted and told to choose a color. They seated me super quick to a pedicure seat. My total came out to $140 which was pretty pricey but my nails are beautiful! read more

This place has officially become my favorite Nail Salon in Benicia! My last two services were only 40 minutes for gel nails, and I absolutely love the end result. Usually getting my nails done has been anxiety because they always cut me on my cuticles or burn the nails when they're doing the Dremel. Not once have I experienced this at Gaia! And my nails last me almost a month. I highly recommend and the ambience when you're getting the pedicure is so pretty! read more
