I have been coming to Good nails now just shy of a year. I'm very happy with their services. They keep up with all of the new trends. They have lots of colors to chose from gel and regular polish. Great brands from OPI, Essie, CND, Morgan Taylor. They also sell other professional products i.e. Hempz, Moroccan Oil, It's a 10, even lashes! They are really good with their appointments and trying to fit you in as soon as possible when you do walk in. There's at least 20 pedicure chairs. If you are wanting acrylic nails I would suggest making an appointment there's only two nail technicians that do them Andrew and Fiona. The both of them do great work. They listen to what you want and also do great when you bring in photos. The prices are higher than most salons in Vallejo and Benicia but I believe I get my money's worth here. I love their services but it is also their customer service that brings me back every three weeks. Definitely would suggest them to my friends and family. read more

Fiona is the best !!!! I have waxing from this amazing place many times, great service ever, that's why I keep coming back. Plan to have my nail job done with them too. read more

Just moved to Benicia 3 months ago. When I went to my local branch of Chase bank, my teller told me about this place. I looked it up on Yelp and they had great reviews so I decided to give them a try today. Andrew started my pedicure and gave a great leg and foot massage. Tommy came in and painted my toes with regular polish and my fingers with gel. He did an amazing job. I think I found the right nail salon in my new neighborhood! read more

I have never had such good service at a nail salon. They go above and beyond. Pedicure was amazing and relaxing. Andrew also did a full set of coffin style nails and I love them. I will definitely be coming back for a fill. read more

Good Nails - Andrew did coffin style nails...love them! - Nail Salons Near Me - Benicia, California

I went in because the Yelp reviews were so positive. I called ahead and made an appointment for a mani/pedi. The man suggested 7pm. I got there at 7pm and did not sit in a pedicure chair until 7:30. Good selection of nail polish. Not the cleanest nail place. My lady did a good job. Mani/pedi was $40. Got out of there at 9pm and a man was sitting in front of my car. Liquor store man in same plaza told me he was going to tow my car. The parking lot was very full and I didn't even park directly in front of his store. Won't be coming back. Lucy's is $10 cheaper for mani/pedi. Seems cleaner and takes less time. (Not to mention no disgruntled liquor store cashiers.) read more

Best nail shop ever I been coming to Fiona for the last past year she is the best my nails stay looking very pretty every time I leave

After many failed attempts with salons in this town its nice to find the DIAMOND in the rough! Andrew takes care of you as soon as you walk in. Making sure everyone is doing everything right to make sure you are satisfied. I came in with out grown gel nails, and Fionna took amazing care of me. Dont get me wrong, i hate taking those nails off because it can be a lil painful here and there but she made sure I was happy. Ill most def be back there soon! read more

I recently moved to Benicia and wanted a last minute dip powder set. Luckily I found good nails and they have an available appointment the next morning. Checking in was easy. They take temperatures, all wear masks, very clean. I was impressed. I love my new dip gel set. They are so pretty and they did a great job, took their tiwill definitely be returning. The above was my original review of this place. I had given them 5 stars. I returned today after 2 weeks to get my nails done again. I had called a few days prior to make an appointment and specifically asked to schedule with Fiona. I got there and was told that someone else would be doing my nails. When I mentioned I had scheduled my appointment with Fiona she stated she had another client (I guess they don't take their appointments seriously). I was then given the option to have someone else remove my old gel or come back in 30 minutes. I decided to stay. My nails were soaking for 1 hour! I finally decided to remove the acetone soaked cotton balls and foil. I went up to Fiona and told her I couldn't wait any longer. She then offered to "buff them for me" and I told her I would do it at home. No apology, no offer for anything. And I was asked if I wanted a pedicure twice while my nails were soaking by 2 different people. Are you kidding me?! I'd be there until the next day at this rate if I had both done. Unfortunately will not be returning and will be looking for another salon read more

I'm not a big yelp reviewer but I have to say this is one of the best nail salons I have ever been to. Very sanitary, friendly, awesome job and the ambiance is worth every penny. I was given green tea and veggie chips with my pedi. Vallejo never had much of the best of the best of anything, but being on the cusp in Benicia, I would count this as one of them! read more

We came to Good Nails in preparation for our wedding, six women came in first thing in the morning and were greeted with donuts and hot chocolate on the house! The manicures and pedicures were flawless and we wanted to especially commend them on handling the mother of the groom who is diabetic and has various problems with her feet, they were very careful and diligent and she thoroughly enjoyed her first visit to a nail salon. They went above and beyond to make everyone feel special and we were beyond happy to give them our business and will definitely do so again. read more

On my day off, I walked in and asked for a simple pedicure and manicure, and they took me in without hesitation. It had been 4 weeks since any pedicure or manicure, since I was recovering from surgery. The wait was less than 5 minutes on a mid-day during mid- week. I was worked on by Nancy, a quiet older soul but efficient and meticulous. She didn't talk much, but spent a good almost 2 hours on my request, and produced an excellent job, given that it was not even gel or acrylic or fancy. Nancy was precise and conscientious. Unlike other manicurists, her hands were soft, smooth and calming. Her hands don't make you feel like you are being rushed. She even served my cold water in between jobs. Even as I mistakenly smudged two of my thumbs as I dried my fingers, without any fuss, Nancy fixed my nails without hesitation. I will return for Nancy. She has a quiet demeanor but very pleasant and talented. I will come back for her. Because her work was superb and her hands made me relax, I gave her a 35% tip. A relaxing pedicure and manicure done on meticulously and calmly is what I needed. On your day off, you really need to feel it! read more

Hands down the best place ever. Yes, it takes a little longer than some salons for a mani and pedi....but really why is that a bad thing? I for one go for relaxation, I'm not looking for a quickie. Those of you who are complaining about it taking too long, maybe you should just do your own nails? Just a thought. Andrew is phenomenal and always makes my nails look amazing. I get the gel nail polish and I have had one yet to chip before I go back in. The price is comparable to anything else in the area, no complaints. read more

I only went here because most of my favorite local spots were already closed for the day. This place is open until 8:30. WAY too cluttered and messy of a place. There was stuff and boxes everywhere. Just a MESS. The floors looked dirty and the place looked dirty overall. The chairs seemed clean enough and the tubs for the pedicures seemed clean with inserts and fresh equipment coming out. The pedicure I got was okay. Didn't hurt me. A nice scrub on the feet and nice smelling lotions etc. They didn't do a massage, though. I would have liked that. The cost for the pedi was $30. The next day, the tips of my big toe polish was already wearing off. Not sure I'll be going back. I wasn't too impressed. read more

I had a pedicure and gel fill the price was $65 for both. The service was good but my toe nails were not shaped right. I tried chrome nails for the first time. I did not get the color I chose and when I told the owner he said it was because of the lighting. As I was getting them done I kept asking about the color but they kept telling me it was going to change. It never did. It is not what I asked for. The nail is not at all smooth. I can see the brush marks and almost like water marks. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. read more

Good Nails - Metallic chrome instead of dark brown chrome - Nail Salons Near Me - Benicia, California

Love love love! Fiona did my acrylics which came out fantastic! I told her I wanted a glitter look and she told me she was going to "surprise me." This can be a little scary to hear but she has great taste and definitely came through! She has totally exceeded my expectations. Another thing I like about Fiona and good nails in general is that the nail application and shaping is painless. Often times when I get my nails done at other places, the acrylic powder to acetone ratio is off and can cause my fingers and nail beds to burn and it becomes an uncomfortable process. But it's clear that their technicians know what they're doing. My little sisters also got their fingernails painted and they went above and beyond! They had glitter and flower stickers on their nails and are so excited to show them off! The lady who did their nails even braided their hair! The customer service at Good nails is impeccable and so is their work. I can't wait to go back. read more

Talk about STICKER SHOCK! $60.00 for a shellac pedicure. Nothing special about the pedicure either. Will definitely NOT be back to this place. WOW.... read more

This place is wonderful! Andrew, the owner, is very friendly and takes good care of his clientele. I really love this place because each client receives their own set of tools (nail files, nail clippers, etc.), so Andrew never uses "community" tools that have been used on other people. Yay for being sanitary! He only uses OPI nail polish too. I had a basic manicure/pedicure ($31that included french tips) and it stayed on for more than 2 weeks! This place is the best! Get your nails done. Love it. Repeat. read more

These folks are working so hard. I spent a blissful hour in the pedi chair today and it's an hour I SO appreciate. Covid protocols are perfect and I'm just so dang grateful they're here for us read more

I went here with very thin nails caused by going elsewhere for years. The constant sanding of my nails made them very weak. Andrew at Good Nails worked with my nails for months, strengthening them with the gel polish, but not sanding and therefore allowed them to grow out strong. I do think they tend to over book in the evening to accommodate everyone, but mornings or mid day is quiet and less busy. The pedicures are long and relaxing. And if you communicate your wants, they will listen. I also find them priced average for this area. I recommend this business highly. read more

Came here cus I was looking for a place that was open late (because of my busy work schedule) and this one was open til 8:30pm on most days. I went right after work around 7:15pm and they still took me in. I usually go to sky nails in American canyon but needed to get them done again after 3 weeks! The girl that did my nails did them pretty good. This place is better than many places I've been to. If I don't go to my usually place I'll definitely be coming here. Don't know how much usual price is for gel manicure on natural nails but I paid $25 plus tip with the yelp check-in deal. Not too bad! read more

Good Nails - Mood changing gel polish. "Crimson nightfall" this is the warm color, turns black when cold. - Nail Salons Near Me - Benicia, California

Fiona & Andrew are the best. I come in regularly. Today I am coming in to fix my nails because one got ripped off. I only go here for my nails I don't trust anyone else! read more

My bff brought me and a 3 of our friends to Good Nails for my "bachelorette" day. It was a busy Sunday but everyone had full attention and treatment that walked into the salon. I really liked the canvas prints on the walls and found the place to be super clean. I had been growing my nails out and unfortunately, had to tear off my pointer nail tip after breaking it halfway off. Should have known that the nail could have been saved but fortunately, Andrew attended to me and was able to shape and trim all my nails to mask the shorter messed up nail. My friends couldn't tell from my expertly french manicured nails which one was the originally torn one. I opted for the shellac polish and love the way it feels. The shellac polish is a hybrid between a "gel" and nail polish and dried super fast and hard. Andrew even said to come back before my wedding for a touch up but I doubt I'll need it! I love how friendly, professional, and accommodating everyone is. This is the best nail salon I've been to though I haven't been to too many. Their pedicures are sooooo relaxing. They spend a great deal of time massaging and scrubbing your legs. And like the previous poster, I dig the disposable liners they use for the tubs. The lavender bath salts smell so amazing and my feet have never felt softer and smoother. They took our names down with our birth dates for what I'm guessing is a special promotion if you come in on your birthday. I'll be back for sure and will have to try a brow waxing next time. read more

I came in today for my regular gel mani which I loved like always! But I also decided to get my hair done by Sonia, she was so friendly and she took the time to make sure she knew exactly what I wanted. My ombré came out EXACTLY how I wanted it! There is never a dull moment in this salon. The atmosphere is great! The owners are very focused on satisfying the client! I love it here!! My one stop beauty shop!! read more

I typically only have Andrew and Fiona do my nails, but they were out on Sunday so Jennifer did my fill and she did an amazing job as well. She even massaged my arms and hands after my nails were dry. I love love LOVE this place! Never had I had a bad experience here. read more

A sweet lady with shorter hair (I didn't catch her name) did my pedicure and I loved it. She took her time massaging my legs and carefully painting my toes. I also appreciate the time she spend exfoliating my feet because some salons I've been too don't scrub all of the dead skin off leaving your feet still a bit rough but my feet felt so smooth. Also, they line the soaking tubs and cleanliness is always an A+ for me. My manicure was done by another lady and she shaped my nails ok but a little uneven on some fingers. My nails also looked pretty streaky in some areas of my nails but any more coats and my nails would never dry so I left them at that. Overall, a great place for a pedicure. They're reasonably priced ($40 for mani & pedi), fast, polite, and take their time. Suggestions: 1) wear name tags! 2) make more conversation with your customers! read more

Unsatisfied with the overall service of the technicians either the rush through their work or the finished product Doesnt look professional. read more

Good Nails - So she decodes thst because she doesn't like the polish I chose she was going to change it without asking me. - Nail Salons Near Me - Benicia, California

I so badly want to give 5 stars because my experience was FANTASTIC!! Although, the quality of my nails were not quite as equal :( I left so incredibly happy to have found this hidden salon because Andrew was over the top accommodating and kind and was really looking out for my best interest. He did a fantastic job and I left with exactly what I had asked for. Unfortunately less than 5 days after I got my full set acrylic with gel polish two of my nails broke right down the middle :( the customer service to myself and everyone else in the salon was definitely 5 star. I don't want to say I won't be back because I most likely will, possibly just for a different service that I know won't wear off so easily! Thank you Andrew and staff for providing me with such a welcoming experience, keep it up!! read more

I am SO glad I found this place! My daughter and I have both been getting our nails done at Fusion in Petaluma, but have really been wanting to find a nail salon in the Vallejo/Benicia area, closer to home. We chose Good Nails because 1.) it's very close to our home and 2.) it had received a few very good Yelp reviews. The salon did not disappoint. The owner, Andrew, and another lady, who I believe was named Fiona, were hard at work on a few pedicure clients when we entered with no appointments. (thought we'd try our luck with walk-in service) We were greeted immediately and attended to very quickly. We were out the door 90 minutes later with a full set of white french gel tips for me and a very overdue acrylic fill for my daughter. Both of us are very pleased! The salon is very clean and peaceful. Despite being in what is essentially a strip mall location. the atmosphere inside the shop is very relaxing. We were served green tea, grapes and a small slice of coffee cake, which I thought was a nice touch. Andrew's work on our nails was lovely and meticulous. He didn't take a lot of shortcuts, as some of the other shops do (skimping on primer, base coats, etc) Their OPI color selection is nice. I might also add that the shop seemed to be very well ventilated and despite acrylics being done, it didn't have that nail salon smell that knocks you over with fumes when you enter! Did I mention that this fabulousness only cost us $40 plus a nice tip? He gave us an introductory/coupon price, which was nice, although I totally would have paid more without complaint. These nails are more than just good! I'll definitely be going back! read more

It's been almost a year and I still go here, only now I go first thing on a weekday morning. I now get shellac done there all the time. LOVE it! A little pricier ($25, so more than your usual $13 mani), but SO worth it for special occasions and summer. I recently referred my boss lady and she sent me frantically excited text messages one Saturday after she went, she said it was the "best nail salon she has visited the US"... :) I'm torn, sometimes I wish they found a bigger location so it won't be so busy, but then I guess they would lose some of their attentiveness. This place is awesome! read more

I went in this morning for a fill and pedi. Fiona is my go to girl. She hasn't disappointed me yet :) I had an idea for a design I wanted but while looking through a magazine I saw an OPI ad and asked her if should would be able to do it. She said yes and I love how they came out. I like to try different/unusual designs and even shape of my nails and Fiona is the first to give them all a try.. other shops I go to they tell me they can't without even trying. I also got the new OPI Pedicure they're offering for only $5 more than the regular.. very much recommend that. Helen did my pedicure and I loved her work.. she was also very nice. The lotion they use in this pedicure smells like a smoothie. Overall I enjoyed my experience here once again. read more

Let me start off by saying that you so much to all the worker for making my daughter feel so special on her birthday I called around 12 to see if there was availability for two little girls for a mani & pedi & myself for a pedi , owner said come in at 2 & I explained saying itwas my daughter's 4th birthday. As soon as I walked in they all greeted me & my daughter's & wished my bby a happy birthday . As we're getting our pedis they play a happy birthday song & songs for them to enjoy themselves. Every time I come here they give me more reasons to keep coming back. They are so sweet, professional & their work is perfect. Thank you all for making my daughter feel so special on her birthday we will keep seeing you guys !!!! read more

Good Nails - Matte Finish - Nail Salons Near Me - Benicia, California

This place is pretty awesome! I called for a 12:30pm appt. around 10:30am and they had everything set up and ready to go! This is THE MOST SANITARY nail salon I have ever been too. Pros: They use new plastic liners in the foot tubs for every customer. The music is amazingly soothing-- way better then watching a random TV show. They have a lot of OPI POLISH selection which is an awesome polish brand. They sanitize the cutters and everything in front of you. Two rooms full of chairs so it's never a long wait. They do your fingers and toes in the same chair so you can relax the entire time! THEY TAKE THEIR TIME! (it seems like almost every other salon rushes the minute they start getting busy but these guys take their time to do everything right.) THEIR MASSAGES ARE THOROUGH AND SOOOOO RELAXING! (most salons rub you a little and your done plus good luck getting a good hand/arm message but these guys really work the lotion in and salt scrub everyone! Lastly, the lotion is scented and smells so good! I actually started to get hungry! Cons: The chairs in one of the rooms are awkwardly close to each other. I started to feel bad that them reaching over to do my finger nails in the chair might be hurting their backs. The Product: My nails look amazing! I love their gellish/shellac its $25 but worth it! Their mani/pedi combo is $35 which is a really good price considering how much they message you! read more

The french tip on my toes looks marvelous still (after 3 weeks) the nails were another story. They looked great when I had them done but there were flies in the UV lamp thing and they wouldn't stop buzzing around my nails while they were drying YUCK!! But the gel was nice but really only lasted a week and a half and for $35... hmmmm I think they need to reduce their prices and this review would be 4 stars. read more

Unfortunately I have to give this place 2 stars. One because Fiona did do a great job on my nails a month ago. Second star because her husband has a great attitude and willing to make customers happy. I wish I didn't have to say anything bad about these 2 but feel like I should warn people about the miscommunications and lack of organization this place has. One month ago when Fiona did my nails I made an appt the evening before with Andrew for the next morning first appt. she had no idea there was someone booked and was 30 mins late to the shop. 45 mins before she could start my Mani/pedi. She made it up to me with great service. Fast forward to last Saturday I go in for another appt with Fiona and there was miscommunication again and Andrew ended up doing my gel mani. It was not good. I guess the technique was bad because I have had gel polish before and it has lasted me 2-3weeks ATLEAST! It lasted me a day. Chipped and lifted on several nails. Left a message on Sunday(closed) but no call back on Monday morning. I called in the afternoon and he had me come in to fix but couldn't find the same glitter he used last time so just slapped some other silver BIGGER glitter to get me out of there. Okay my nails don't even match but okay. Well next day I wash some dishes and the gel polish starts chipping again! Why would I pay more for gel if it chips and lasts as long as regular polish???? I called today(Thursday) because I can finally coordinate with my husband to watch my newborn while I go back a 3rd time in ONE week! I talked to Fiona over the phone she says to come at 5:30 for a full set. I show up and she is finishing someone so I wait 15 mins and she doesn't even acknowledge me. When she is done she walks past me towards her regular customer and starts doing her nails. I walk over and say I made an appt with you at 5:30. She asked me to come back later. I tell her I can't that's why I made an appt and I have a newborn at home so limited on time. All I get is "I'm sorry". Well I'm sorry and disappointed that I wasted my money but more importantly my time. read more

I 1st went to Envy Nails in Vallejo & was treated so poorly, I left & decided to try this place. They have always looked busy. I was lucky because they were able to fit me in. I showed a photo of what I wanted & they didn't have a problem executing it. I was with my friend & they took such great care of myself & my friend. I will forever be a client here. They were also so gental with all of their customers including one elderly lady in a wheel chair. She had zero complaints with how they had to get her in & out of a seat for pedicure.
