I had the best experience here at Good Nails! I brought my mom and cousin here for my mom's birthday gift. I was a little bit self conscious, being a straight man going into a nail shop, but this place made me and my company very welcome and comfortable. Right away, they offered us doughnuts as I checked in at the front desk. I called about 3 hours ahead to make sure they could accommodate us. We were seated right away and they went to work on us like a well oiled machine. Our mani/pedi was fast, thorough, and attentive. There were so much above and beyond services they did. From the leg massage, scrubs, moisturizer, and general care they put in. I was surprised when I saw my nails looked so healthy and shiny??? I was like, wow, someone is going to think I have nail polish on. That was impressed! I was really glad to be able to get my pedicure. I get nervous trying to take care of my feet. Being diabetic, my doctor strongly suggested I take care of my feet to avoid getting the cracking scars. The owner and employees at Good Nails were the sweetest and made us feel valued. Way too far in between now a days that places make an effort to put in that make a world of difference! During the mani/pedi, mom my mentioned that it was her birthday and I was treating her out. So when we were all done, they gave my mom a gift before we left! I thought this was so sweet! I won't say what it was exactly, but it was one of my mom's favorite things to eat! The little things like these are truly special gems in life. Thank you Good Nails family for making my Mom's birthday even more amazing and special! I will go here every time I need something done and will strongly recommend to family, friends, and Yelpers. You must experience Good Nail! Stay hungry adventurous and happy Yelping! read more

I am updating my one star review from 11 years ago because： 1) My last experience here a few months ago was good. Got a lovely, efficient, fairly priced powder dip manicure. 2) I mean, 11 years? read more

I called and was able to get an appointment for me and my mama the same day. As we entered we were greeted by everyone, very friendly staff. Salon was clean and organized. Loved that me and my mom were the only two in there so there was no rush to get the service done! I left feeling like i was walking on clouds! I had the best pedicure at good nails. Thank you for the amazing massage and attention to detail. Shout out to andy, alan, daniel, & david for taking care of us.....I will definitely be back!! read more

TLDR: STAY AWAY!! I had to contact my doctor because of the redness & pain after self treating for over a week. I am unable to put on shoes. The doctor diagnosed an infection. I had to leave work to go to the pharmacy to buy oral antibiotics. For 7 days I need to take a pill every 6 hours with a full glass of water and food. I also need to do Epsom salt soaks 3-4 times/day and put a topical antibiotic ointment over the area. I haven't been able to sleep though the night since this happened. This is all because I went to Good Nails to get a pedicure last week. I have been going to Good Nails since they opened and it makes me very sad to leave this review. I need to share my story, it is not safe there anymore. This is the 2nd pedicure in a row that I left Good Nails and raced home to do first aid on my feet. And then prayed for days hoping it wouldn't get infected. You can easily look at the pictures and decide if that's a risk you feel like taking. Aside from being painful and looking terrible, dealing with this wound has stolen hours from my life over the past week. The first time they damaged my feet was on May 31st, a guy did my pedicure. First he cut the cuticle on my big toe with the electric file tool. It was pretty much bleeding the whole time. He also cut me in 2 other spots on 2 other toes. He didn't acknowledge that he did it. He was even trying to cover it with towels so I couldn't see it was bleeding. I'm thinking, dude, even if you cover it, I still feel it. He did use an antiseptic and got it to stop bleeding by the time he painted my nails. I got lucky that it didn't get infected. I was not planning to go back because I thought it was ridiculous how that was handled. But then last week I woke up to a text for 20% off any service and I thought, ok, maybe that was just a one time mistake. I've been going there forever, I'll give them another chance. I wish I could go back in time and make another choice. My appointment was 3:30pm on Weds 7/28. It was a different nail technician, if we can even call her a technician... First I didn't like how she was using the electric file tool to remove my nail polish. I even told her it wasn't gel. There's no reason to risk damaging my nails (or cutting my toes!) when the polish comes off with nail polish remover. The other lady/manager even came over and told her not to do that. The real damage happened when she took that purple callus remover and scrubbed my foot so hard she literally rubbed the skin off the side of my foot leaving a pretty deep wound. It hurt so bad. There was no callus or dead skin, no reason she even should have been scrubbing that spot. I can't imagine what she was thinking. Then when I showed her what she did and told her that she hurt me, she didn't even apologize. I couldn't believe it. I would feel so bad if I had done this to someone's foot. Nobody acknowledged it happened, they didn't care at all. At the end she told me I owed $40 and I told her I had that 20% discount text. She told me to talk to the other lady/manager who was crying in the other room. So I went to tell her at the front desk, she started asking something about the color and then doing the math on a magazine on the desk. It was super awkward. I left $32 in cash on the counter and walked out. On another note, also related to safety... When I arrived there was one other woman getting a manicure & pedicure and they put me in the chair right next to her. I couldn't understand why they would seat us right next to each other when there were so many empty chairs. It would have been very easy to seat the customers a few feet away from each other. I mean, we're still in the middle of a pandemic, we don't need to go out of our way to be close to people we don't know. Because I was sitting right up in her business, I can share that this lady wasn't happy with her pedicure either. She ended up having them remove the polish after it was done because she didn't like how it was on her skin around the toe nails. And ultimately left with a clear coat saying she didn't have time to wait because she had a flight to catch. And one final note regarding the lack of any sort of COVID-19 guidelines or safety protocol... The other lady/manager was not wearing a mask both times I was there. And her kids were there running around like usual. The older one was wearing a mask but the younger was not. The younger boy was asking over and over "why is Mom crying?" And the older one was telling him to sit down and leave her alone. It's really not relaxing for the customers when there are kids running around the room. And again, it being a pandemic, I personally would prefer the least amount of people in the room for less exposure. Not to worry, I won't be back. This time I learned my lesson. read more

Love this place! Not only does Fiona, the owner do the best nails in town, but she is incredibly kind and welcoming as well. I was having a really hard day. She talked to me about it, and after finishing my nails, I asked her how much I owed her and she said don't worry honey. You don't owe me anything you deserve this!!! Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised, and she did an amazing job on my nails, including nail art. The salon is extremely clean and they have really good massage chairs that I absolutely love. It's very relaxing. Fiona is the owner she not only has the biggest heart, but she does the best nails in town. She's quick, and they turn out perfect every time. She listens to exactly what you ask for and makes sure that you love it before you leave if not, she will fix it. She also does the best nail art. I wouldn't go anywhere else.! read more

Good Nails - I like the natural look with French tip, but if you notice she made a snowflake on my ring finger. - Nail Salons Near Me - Benicia, California

I think these are my most favorite nails I've had done to date! I've been to many salons over the years and Fiona topped them all. Not only was she gentle and listened, she also gave suggestions on styles and spent extra time ensuring the quality was top notch. She has a great eye for color and artistry, and is very sweet on top of it all. I highly recommend this salon and especially asking for Fiona!! read more

I'm usually skeptical when it comes to seeing new artists, but they were super friendly and gentle. I got a mani and pedi done by the best people (I wish I got their names). Whenever I am in the area, I will for sure come back. Oh! I'd like to also mention they do accept walk-ins. I didn't schedule an appointment due to the decision being so last minute, but they gladly took us in and seated us right away. Keep in mind, it wasn't as busy and I went on a Monday. I would advise to call beforehand to make sure there are avail spots and if they aren't busy. Just to be courteous. Thank you to the staff who made my first experience a memorable one! read more

I really wanted to like this place. I would really like to find a regular nail salon in Solano County. The customer service was lacking, especially if you are new client. They tell you to find your polish which is in a different room. Nobody showed me where to find the nail color samples. So you are just staring a bottles of polish. The room is chaotic and crowded. It wasn't till later that I saw they had samples and a book to look through. It would be great if they kept the samples in a set area and directed you to them, as opposed to strewn randomly throughout the room. I asked for tips and usually wear my nails long and coffin shaped. I told the nail tech that I wanted tips. Instead she gave me powder which were short, squared, stubby and thick. I mentioned the tips early on and she told me "next time"? Nobody in the shop smiled. read more

Zero Stars!! DO NOT GO THERE!! This place is terrible! Fiona the owner is rude and has terrible customer service, she hung up on me. I had a pedicure done by Tina she made my toe nail bleed than she went on to give me a full set of nails. Every nail was thick, bumpy and uneven. I paid for my nails and gave a generous tip. Once I got home and got a closer look with my glasses on, I noticed how bad they were. I called and asked Fiona if she could redo them or fix them or refund my money so I could get them done elsewhere. She said no she wouldn't do and I need to go back to Tina. Why would I go back to the same person that ruined my nails in the first place?! She insisted Tina would have to redo them and Fiona refused to make things better for me, on top of that she hung up on me. I would have been a long time customer, but that was my first and last time there. I will spread the word to avoid this place at all costs if you care about the way your nails look and the way you are treated. I have gotten my nails done in years past and if ever there is an issue the owner has been more than happy to help out. Not in this case, what a crappy way to make customers feel. read more

This is a great place to visit especially during COVID for your mani-pedi. They are following ALL of the protocols: masks for all, screen shields, social distancing, limiting customers, taking and logging your temperature, using all new materials for each client, etc... However, as a customer, you can't expect these precautions are cheap. They're not! So, it is not a bargain but the pricing I think is reasonable. I had not had a professional mani pedi during quarantine so I splurged and got the WORKS!: acrylics, dip nails, nail art, ombré glitter, lol. Fiona is amazing with nail art. I brought in a Pinterest picture of Louis Vuitton nails. She was able to accommodate my request no problem! She drew this all free hand. Quite imprSee pics. Sorry my hands and feet are ugly but her work is not ;-). I am only giving a 4/5 star review for two reasons: they can improve callus removal on the pedicure. That is the main reason I need and get regular pedicures. Secondly, the male owner did my acrylics and they were a little messy/thick at first. They came out pretty well though. read more

I've been going to Good Nails for about 6 months consistently now. & both me & my daughter love it! We tend to always go with Tommy, he's the best but Fiona is really good too! We like them both! We always get a full set or a fill. The price range is $40-$60 and they do a really beautiful job with French tip. They can do any color you want & it will last almost a month, no lifting or your nails breaking. They are really sweet & we love the "homey" vibes of this nail shop. Highly recommend them! read more

I've been looking long and hard for a new salon in the area that I hope to make my go-to nail shop, and sadly this place isn't it. Let me just say this place isn't bad, but it also isn't great. Pros: I called on a Saturday morning looking to see if they had any openings and they were very accommodating. Greeted promptly upon entering the salon. Large selection for upgraded pedicures (variety of scrub and mask choices). Stamp card with promotional offers given after payment and good to use towards next service. Cons: Limited nail polish selection. Facility doesn't seem very cleanly. Something that I didn't appreciate was that I asked for a basic pedicure (standard cleaning and polish), yet the lady did the scrub and mask in addition. Since this was my first time there I was thinking maybe this was included in the basic pedicure since I specifically requested a simple and basic pedicure. So of course when the total price came out I was a little surprised and then knew I didn't receive what I asked for. Moral of the story: be very adamant with what you want and remind them throughout the service no add ons or other frills. read more

Went there for a mani and pedi, and I had an appointment made. When I walk in, a guy starts me off with the pedicure. He did not ask which service I wanted (deluxe, luxary, etc). He did not give me time to fully soak my feet in and relax. Instead, he was in a rush to get it done. THEN halfway through, after he did my toes and put my feet in the hot wax, he just started working on another girl who had come in, RIGHT NEXT TO ME. Its like he pretended I wasn't there. So I am sitting there waiting for him to come back to me and he doesn't so I had to say it. Then, he comes back and doesn't fully finish the pedicure (no hot stones, nothing). Then, for manicure I go and sit and this lady does my gel manicure. She made like three of my fingers bleed by pushing back my cuticles. Overall, the service was HORRIBLE, do not recommend coming here. Maybe they were just having a bad day but overall no excuse since I am paying for the full services. read more

The lady that did my pedicure cut me and she kept grabbing my leg out of the water and forcing it down when I was already placing my foot on the foot rest. She kept firmly grabbing my ankle, I'm surprised I didn't get a bruise. HORRIBLE! Never coming here again! read more

Beautiful salon, very clean, excellent quality. The vibe in the salon is so peaceful and serene. You can get exactly what type of service you want. if you want a quick mani/pedi you can or if you want to take your time and relax you can.

I have been going here for years and I will continue to come here. the people are amazing and the quality matches!! read more

My first experience at Good Nails was wonderful! Fiona did a full set of dip and Lana did my pedicure. I was so happy I purchased a gift certificate for my mom for Christmas. I found out later my husband bought me one too. When I came back a few weeks later, I removed my dip nails and went back to acrylic . I was very happy with the new set. It was the 3rd and 4th times that are the problem. The 3rd time I had an appointment with Fiona and she handed me off to her husband. He is a really nice man, but didn't do a great job. The first photo is of my nails 10 days later when a mail fell off. I went in today to get a fill and a pedicure. I'm happy with my fill, but I'm not sure why I was charged $40 - maybe because of the broken nail or the cut down?? The pedicure was fine - it wasn't Lana. She did cut my toe, but that happens. The annoying part is that I was charged $40 instead of $30. I told Fiona that jI signed in for a regular pedicure not a "Signature Pedicure" but she said the technician used a hot towel and a mask. WTF? I didn't ask for that extra service. As a new "regular" client, I don't appreciate being upsold. I feel like my regular business as well as the generous tips I leave should be enough. I will not be going back. read more

Good Nails - Nails after 10 days. - Nail Salons Near Me - Benicia, California

It's only been 1 week today and my nails are lifting and the tips of three of my nails are very weak resulting in one cracking and the other two are easily bending and the yellow is bubbling. I called to make an appt at 9:30a when they opened and the lady who sits at the front told me not to worry to come in anytime and they could fix and when I arrived at 10:26am she asked me to come back...like what the heck!!!! I reminded her of our call and she asked me to take a seat and wait. I honestly was like 2 stars but I could never because hard work deserves more so I accept stuff happens and a "good" business should accommodate...I mean it's in the name right?!?! Andrew knew what I needed and kindly let me know he would be more than happy to help. His attention to detail and gentle touch was sweet and was the reason I came back and will come back again. The only thing is, remember to give yourself a lot of time, if you're in a rush this is not the place to go...I didn't get out of there til 12:05p...It's more of a spa like experience I actually have been in here for an hour and a half got two nails fixed a nail color change and a French tip with the new beautiful pastel colors and the pinky nails are different sizes...ugh. Thank you again for working with me and I left a little happier 3.5-4 stars. read more

I wish I could give 10 stars! The wonderful ladies that work here welcomed me as soon as I walked in the door. Lonny gave me a pedicure and massaged my legs and feet for almost an hour (AMAZING). As I was getting the pedicure, Tracy came over and started working on my hands. Fiona then came to me and told me she was going to give me a brand new set because the nails that I currently had were falling apart. (They were... I had the same base fake nail since December.. oops) These ladies really took the time to ask what I wanted and suggested certain colors to fit what I was asking for. Fiona's children are adorable as well. This is by far the best salon I have ever been to. The work these ladies did 10/10 and above. At the end of my wonderful experience Fiona gave me a free bottle of cuticle nail oil that smells like grape as a thank you for coming in and engaging in conversation with everybody. I truly felt welcomed and the time flew by so fast I will definitely be coming here only now on! It was so refreshing to have nail techs carry on conversations.

Ok I went here because of all the reviews. I'm giving it 3 stars because we got 3 pedicures 1 each,our son, dad and I. Lady that did son & dad did a really good job. But for me I feel like I got the short end of the stick. The older gentleman that did mine rushed and did things so out of order. Was not pleased at all. I had to ask him to clean my toes better, Burt the bottom of my pinky toe with the hot wax that he forgot to do and ended up doing It as the last thing he did. Paint job was so bad didn't get down to the base of nails layered the gel nail polish got it all on my skin just a bad job. read more

Tried this place for the first time. Needed a pedi to fix my toenails growing out crooked because previously it was cut crooked. Trying to get the person to cut it straight was difficult. She just kept making it shorter and shorter but never cutting it straight! I literally just told her to stop and was ready to walk out when the owner took over and did what she could to fix it...now I usually don't get a mani because my nails are naturally thick and healthy. Decided to just get them shaped and a clear coat. Just took the clear polish off after a week and my natural nails look like they were buffed too much. There's such a big dent in my fingernails! It looks so bad! My natural nails have never looked like this before! Back to finding somewhere new. read more
