Annie is the best! Her shop is clean and welcoming and I always feel really relaxed when I am there. Annie does the best nails in all of Santa Barbara, I am always amazed at how perfect my nails look when she does them. The best part is that she has helped me grow my natural nails out and now my nails are strong and long. Annie really prioritizes nail heath and I appreciate her so much for helping me keep my nails healthy read more

Annie the owner is amazing, kind, and gives the most detailed and perfect manicure I've ever had. Ever since I came here, every other salon is a disappointment. Annie takes her time, is gentle and makes sure you're happy with your nails along the way. Truly amazing quality here, vibes feel relaxing. I came in to get my nails done for our engagement shoot a few months back. I thought I'd try long fake nails, they were beautiful but not "me." Annie was so kind and helpful, she came in early the next day to redo my nails herself, the day we were talking pictures. My nails were perfect, and I'm picky. I love this place, I drive 50 minutes from Ventura to get my nails done here. And the prices are very fair. 10/10 read more

Lowkey overpriced asf so don't come here if you're broke. Also my nails look like a walmart version of the photo I asked for. Normally I wouldn't complain but since I paid over $100 I'm kind of upset.....But the girls were really sweet and it was clean. read more

Annie did such a great job on my nails. I have been to a lot of local nail salons and this is by far my favorite. Annie was so kind and did a thorough job cleaning my cuticles and applying the polish. There is a huge selection of colors for a smaller salon too which was very impressive. Good quality and price (~$40), I will definitely be back! read more

IV Beauty Lounge - Regular gel mani by Annie - Nail Salons Near Me - Isla Vista, California

Not only does this place do nails but they have THE best head spa experience. I have been 3 times already and plan to keep going to maintain a healthy scalp. Starts with a scalp analysis and then depending on what products will be best for you Annie sends you into deep relaxation with the best scalp treatment/massage while your laying down (and yes I have fallen asleep during treatment, it's that good). Not only is my scalp happy but I always leave there so relaxed. Annie is 10 out of 10. And she is super sweet :) read more

I always have a great experience at IV Beauty. Both nail techs I went to are super friendly, personable, and very talented at what they do. I usually get a pretty basic neutral Russian manicure and it looks amazing every time. Clean, moisturized, and natural to my nail color. For any guy who wants to get his nails done at UCSB, I'd recommend their lounge. Trust me, your girlfriend will be proud of you for going to Annie or Nigina The shop is cute and they have water/coffee while you wait. They're pretty fast too, but make sure you make an appointment beforehand as they tend to be busy (for good reason). Overall, I enjoyed going to IV Beauty Lounge while in IV. read more

I meant to update this review sooner but finals season hit hard. nonetheless annie (the owner) was amazing! she was very responsive and offered to fix my nails free of charge. initially i was nervous due to how sensitive my nails were but annie was very gentle and methodical with debulking my nails , and her prep work/gel application was very clean as well. most of all though she was very professional and understanding of the situation. will be back when im in sb!!! read more

I wish I could leave Annie and her team 1,000,000 stars. I have had my nails done here for years, eyebrows threaded, hair cut, etc. I have never seen such amazing service and caring people all in one place. My gel x nails stay on for 4+ weeks and leave my nails stronger than ever. Please visit IV Beauty Lounge!!! read more

Kind and responsive, but forgot about my appointment the day before graduation. I don't have a car, so I was completely out of luck and very disappointed by this error. read more

I love IV Beauty Lounge! Annie is so talented and will go above and beyond to meet customer needs. They book up fast due to high demand (one of the only nail salons near UCSB), but booking ahead is 100% worth it. They are by far the best in the area! read more

Every time I've called or walked in to make an appointment they never give me one. I've tried 3 times and no appointment. They always say they are booked and don't even give you an appointment for another day. They're vibe is just so strange and untruthful. read more

I decided to get a structure gel manicure and it was so uneven, bulky and ugly. It looks absolutely ridiculous and horrible. Paid $65 for a manicure to only be disappointed. Don't make the mistake of coming here. read more

I got my eyebrows and upper lip threaded. While the service is a bit more expensive than I'm used to (27$ for both) it was a 100% worth it! I walked in and got a spot 45 mins after, which was super great. She did my eyebrows exactly how I like them and made me feel super comfortable by chatting. For the past like 7 years I've always gone to one place at home (had a bad experience elsewhere once and now I don't play around) but had no time to go home these past 2 weeks and really needed my eyebrows done for Halloween. IV Beauty Lounge will now be added as one of the only 2 places I go to get my eyebrows done! read more

I finally found it, a space to go back to again and again! Annie and her crew have been absolutely professional, kind, and respectful. I get what I ask for and they pay attention to detail and have offered to fix any issues that come up. I've done structured manicures, pedicures and eyebrow threading. My eyebrows are on point and my nails look great. read more

My roommate went to the location in Goleta and had Annie do her nails and said she did amazing and recommended it to me. I've been searching for a new go-to nail place and hadn't been able to find one that was reasonably priced that left me feeling happy with the results. I'm pretty sure the name of the girl who did my nails was Lauren at the IV location and she did amazing! Super sweet and fun to talk to, I got a gel ex set and they turned out so cute and perfect! Price was very reasonable to me considering how good they turned out and how much time she put into making sure I was happy with the colors and results. She took her time and was super friendly and funny and made me feel so comfortable the whole time. Super cute vibe inside the store too. I've been trying so hard to find a nail place like this that actually takes their time and makes it feel like money well spent, while also making you feel comfortable and welcomed. She also told me how they do free repairs for the first week and a half I believe which is so sweet! I never write reviews but I was so happy with my experience here I can't recommend it enough, i'll definitely be back for my next set!! Thank you guys!! read more

IV Beauty Lounge - Nail Salons Near Me - Isla Vista, California

This business is operating illegally against state tax code for retail businesses in the state of CA. When I gently tried to notify her of this ( ps a Shopify account takes no more than Zelle or Venmo or any other merchant account ) and auto generates a receipt as required by Law in CA when operating a retail business that accepts cash , cards or other forms of payment. It also auto generates the sales tax withholding. ( my dear friend who does home massages just got completely nailed by the IRS for this and they assigned all the sales tax retroactive and she had to declare BK ... super horrible situation! I thought I was being super friendly business to business by telling her she should consider setting up a merchant account And then Told her my husband would run the $20 cash across the street as I don't have Zelle and my Venmo has been hacked like 10 times and I no longer trust it as they do NOT have a fraud service department ( fyi ) her request also came off super aggressive and was saying if I didn't provide the $20 in 15 minutes the appointment would be cancelled! Like umm ok . She said she would no longer take my daughter's nail appointment? Like really??? 10/10 don't recommend 10/10 this business will get audited and license to operate pulled. By reading some of the other reviews here as recently as yesterday a 1* was left this lady is not professional. Maybe she used to be. I'm still debating turning her in. * edit her reply and faux sincerity is fake. I don't know what self help book she read that she thinks this is being professional but she's fake and it comes across condescending. read more

Absolutely adore the owner! My second time going and will continue! I have been to so many places in sb and Goleta trying to find a good place or stayed at a few for a while cause they were "okay" until now. Finally someone who actually takes pride in her work and takes time to actually do what goes along with manures and pedis. Thank you so much! This is from your glitter girl! See you in a few weeks! Also have a one on one experience is the best! Peaceful and actually relaxing! read more

I LOVE IV BEAUTY LOUNGE!!! All the ladies at IV Beauty will treat you with kindness and always have a smile! The salon is super cute and is always kept clean. They have all the right supplies to treat yourself to a full self care day! Manis, pedis, haircuts, bleaching, dye, threading, and even waxing! Annie, the owner, has always made sure her customers know how cleanly her practices are and has kept her standards high ever since she started doing nails! I only ever get my nails done by her after hearing about how unclean other nail salons are online. Be sure to schedule an appointment early because she can book up fast! I book through her Instagram. :) read more

Annie and all the girls at IV beauty are amazing. I'm rough on my nails and they always take extra care to fix me up and spend time on getting my natural nails/cuticles looking great. My nails are so much healthier than when I first came in over a year ago and Annie makes sure they aren't damaged by using structure gel. The customer service and quality are top notch! read more

I went to IV beauty lounge for the first time today to get my nails done for graduation and had them done by Annie! All the staff were super friendly and welcoming, especially Annie.

Okay guys I'm OBSESSED! Annie does a consistently amazing job and she's simply just good at what she does. I'm not much of a design girl personally, but I've seen her slay any design thrown her way, so when I'm ready for that I know who to go to. Her shape for nails and attention to detail is so good - you can be at peace when in her chair. The salon itself is so cute and clean! A hidden gem of Isla Vista that everyone should know about. She's so friendly and welcoming every time I've been in her place and I am so glad she's a part of the community. read more

IV Beauty Lounge - The best Chrome Almond Nails you've ever seen - Nail Salons Near Me - Isla Vista, California

Great service and super sweet staff. Highly recommended the hair spa. It was great to clean the scalp.

Pretty disappointed. I spent $85 on a full gel set. My nails are popping off after barely 2 weeks. I requested gel acrylic and when she was going my nails she did gel x nails. If they don't do acrylic why wouldn't they have told me when booking the appointment? Too expensive and really not worth it :/ they were really nice people but the quality just isn't worth almost $100 read more

Came here with my daughter for some gel manicures, and were very impressed. It's a cute salon, very friendly; we were greeted by Annie and Brie at the front desk. Mia did a beautiful job on my daughter's nails, and Yvette did a good job on mine. It's a bit pricey: $38 for gel mani; $45 if need gel removal, and $80 for gel pedi, and the reservation process was a bit involved, at least for 1st time customers: had to call one number, text another number with names, services, date, time; send deposits via Venmo for each service, then text a screenshot of the Venmo confirmation, but I'm sure with so many college students as clients, cancellations are an issue. Would definitely recommend and return though, for the quality and convenient location! read more

IV Beauty Lounge is the ONLY place I will go to to get my nails done. I followed Annie from another salon because is amazing; she gives exceptional service every time- attention to detail, never makes me feel rushed, and she is so kind. My daughter gets her nails done by Ibett and she also does really great work. Know that you'll need to book in advance. I appreciate that I can have a set appointment time and not have to sit around and wait like most other places. They also require a deposit. As much as I'd like to keep this place a secret, I highly recommend Annie and her business! read more

Amazing customer service Annie is literally the best! And I also love how they thread my eyebrows 100% recommended

Annie is great! She really listens to what you want and you can tell her biggest priority is the health of your nails. She always cares about the quality of her Gel-X nails and how long they last and will tell you to contact her if anything breaks or falls off and she will fix it. Overall super friendly and easy to talk to as well! read more

I've been going to Annie for my manicures for over a year now and every time I leave I'm shocked by the amazing work she's done for the most reasonable prices. It's amazing to be able to support this small, local business and be so content with the overall experience. I highly recommend coming here for all of your salon needs! read more

The best nail salon in town!!! Annie and Nigina are the absolute best. Extremely accommodating and the highest quality work. Couldn't recommend them more. read more

Annie and her team at IV Beauty Lounge are such hidden gems! Annie's attention to the nail care that she provides is so reassuring, that I never hesitate to book my next appointment. She listens to what you are looking for not just in her nail art but as well in your own nail health and educates you on what she thinks would be best. I've never been able to have healthy long nails without using damaging products but with Annie she helped me get long, beautiful natural nails. Also, she's one of the only nails artists in town that is able to do Gel-X, whereas before I had to travel about an hour to find that service. Her clean and friendly salon experience is more than worth her reasonable prices! read more

Annie helped me out and was very kind and friendly. I live in a different city and my daughter is a student at the University. I wanted to get a gift certificate for a manicure for my daughters birthday. I sent a request to Annie and she immediately replied. She created a gift card to send to my daughter and I sent a Venmo to Annie. So easy. So simple. Support a local business. Parents- this is a fun, easy gift that I am sure your child would enjoy as well. read more

This is a really great business in a super convenient location for students and anyone else in the IV area! I've been getting my eyebrows threaded here for the past few months with Natalia and she does a great job! I was worried finding a new eyebrow place after moving to Santa Barbara, especially since I have naturally pretty bushy and unkempt brows, but I always leave happy with clean and symmetrical brows. Everyone is super friendly and the overall place is clean and hygienic. read more

I've been going to IV Beauty Lounge for about 2 months now. Everytime I arrive the gals working the front always give a warm welcome. My go to nail artist is Ibett. Ibett is always so kind and welcoming. Every time I've gotten my nails done by Ibett she has done an AMAZING job. I appreciate that she takes her time to make sure her work is the best. Throughout the process she constantly asks if everything is looking okay and is to my liking. I would totally recommend going to see all the amazing artists at IV beauty lounge. read more
