This is the first time I come into the shop by recommendation. I took my grandma in for a pedicure,…read morewe got here a lil early for our appt but they took her in. The shop is small but the service is 5 stars. Keira took such good care of my grandma. She took the time to massage her tired feet and my grandma really enjoyed it. There was no rush not get us out, she took the time to get to know us. The shop is located in a small business center and there is plenty of parking. We got a spot right in the front. They follow Covid protocols and everything is super clean. There are only two people inside doing nails so you don't have to worry about crowding. I highly recommend it!

I had Acrylic nails for years that caused my nails to become so thin they were cracking open all the way down to my cuticles along with washboard ridges. I found Swans of Aptos & Kirk said he would like to help me; unfortunately we did not take before or after pictures. Within a few months while my nails grew out using Fiberglass wraps; I couldn't be happier. Kirk from Swans of Aptos is the only person in the area that does Fiberglass wraps; I call this my surfboard nails. No chipping, very little nail filing & covers 3/4 of the nail that leaves the cuticles & nail bed from being filed. I clean houses & have my hands in gloves for up to 8 hours with no problems with the moisture damaging my nails. I am so grateful for finding a nail salon that does not damage my nails over time. I have NO nail polish chips, lifted or cracked wraps, fungus under wraps, & I can go up to 3 weeks without maintenance. My nails are stronger & always look like I just had a manicure. I can't thank you enough Kirk & to the Owner, Kera, who gives the best pedicure with a leg massage EVER!! Swans of Aptos is a wonderful place to be pampered; Kera & Kirk Swan are siblings keeping the business in the family. I love supporting local small businesses. I love you both.

Menu was easy to read and options well explained. I went Tuesday morning between 9:30-10am. Really appreciated the calf massage as my legs have been sore the last week. My last gel-dip manicure lasted 4-6 weeks but I couldn't afford a refill, so I'm going to try next month for a refill as that was recommended to be cheaper and better for my nails. The salon was clean and well staffed. The music was inviting and an appropriate volume do a slow overcast morning. I'm glad they take credit cards; machine worked easily.

Seriously he always makes me feel like a superstar. I also love that this place is located in beautiful Rio Del Mar and near my home. I would have given 5 stars but I had a very uncomfortable and hurtful experience with one of the manicurist named Tina. All the other ladies that work here have been kind to me except Tina. She threw a fit and angrily accused me of basically lying that I had an appointment with Danny right in front of my daughter and all the clients. I believe in showing kindness to all so I stayed calm and kind. I didn't deserve her lashing out at me and I will never get my nails done by her. Usually I come here and feel welcomed and relaxed. I hope that my review helps.

Theres no way she can justify that my hair was dead enough to warrant that bc i had gotten a haircut from her a couple months before and she noted I had very healthy hair. Very disappointed she decided to turn my hair into something she wanted and completely disrespect my decision. I have been growing my hair for years and for her to cut it so that it is shorter than it was a whole year ago when i wanted half an inch of really sucks. Do not go to Judy if you Don't want her to cut multiple more inches than you ask for. I really thought she was a good hairdresser at first but now I have no trust in her and would not come back.
