I have to say I am a picky customer when it comes to my nails. I use the gel polish to keep the nail color longer. Having said that....worst experience at a nail salon. I was a walk in customer because I was in from out of town. The salon looked clean from outside and they do have a large color selection. Right away the gentleman that started to remove my gel polish was rude. They use the electric nail file to remove polish which I am not ok with. When they started my pedicure I asked her to please use a new file & buffer on my nails she became very aggravated and rude. I'm sorry but I am not ok with someone using a used nail file or buffer on my nails as I'm sure most people are considering the risk of a nail fungus. It's totally unsanitary. This is a picture of my nails just 4 days after. I have an office job so no hard labor like I used to do would not mess my nails up this quick. I have bubbles in my nails. Totally disappointed especially since they were more expensive than my normal place for the same gel nail and mani/pedi. Will never return. read more

The worst place ever my pedicure looks horrible she rushed because someone came in right after me wanting a full someone she knew well. I asked her to re do my feet two nails she said she can't do them sorry just very un professional. She wouldn't even change the color for me also she basically told me to just leave. What a joke. Then when paying she said you should have paid cash because we charge. And it was 21.75 for a pedicure she did in less then 15 min. What a joke I'm furious never recommend this place to anyone. read more

I have seeing Liz for several years now. She's great. I always love the finished results. She's talented and surprises me with something fantastic when I'm not sure what I'm in the mood for. I recommend her to anyone. If I could give her more stars I would give her 10. read more

Worst eyebrow experience ever. My eyebrows are so uneven and she created a huge unnatural gap between them. I called before coming in to make sure they accepted cards, I was told they did. I come in and I'm not told they charge $2 for using a card UNTIL the second in which she asks for my pin. very bad service, it will take months for my eyebrows to recuperate. Do not go here! read more

This is my favorite nail shop not only in modesto, but in all of Stanislaus County! Liz does amazing work! Even when I sit down and ask her to just surprise me I am never disappointed! I always recommend her to everyone that compliments my nails! read more

I wish I could give this place zero stars! Literally worst experience ever. My nails could not look worse. Liz did a horrible job. Her idea of coffin nails is so wrong. They were all crooked and badly shaped. She was so rude to the customers walking in and ended up being extremely rude to me because I didn't like my nails. She refused to give me a refund and I promise I was not mean about it! My friend also had a bad experience there! Don't do!! I prefer Vanessa's Nails on Tully! read more

Julie Bee Nails - Picture doesn't begin to do them justice!! Great job Liz!!! Thank you so much!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Modesto, California

I been coming to this place for over 2 years to get my pedicure and acrylic nailed. The guy always greats me and ask how my husbands and I use to think this was a good place to come. Today after he charged me the price went up $10. I asked him why so much and if the prices changed. He started to yell at me calling me a lier and that the prices have always stayed the same. After he made a scene I just asked him politely to finish my nails. I have always gotten gel on my acrylic and I saw he was doing polish. When I asked him about it he started to yell at me again. saying it would be an extra $5 and I couldn't steal hes service. I just wanted what I am always use to when I come here. I didn't appreciate the rude service. Both my pedicure and nails do not even look like I just got them done. It looked terrible read more

I had a bad experience with the previous owner and stopped going there (previously Ocean Nails) my nails kept lifting after just a couple of day on several occasions. heard it was under new management so my sister and I stopped in as walk ins with no appt . They were very welcoming and inviting as well as friendly and professional. The Positives; they listened to my request and did exactly what I asked for, Dennis shaped my nails nicely and was quick and did a good job. It was $25 for a schellack fill. Liz did my sisters nails she took a little longer but still did a nice job and her full set with schellack was $40. The negative; they didn't sterilize any tools or instruments between me and the lady before me except to but alcohol on their brushes. Nothing else was washed sterilized or cleaned. When I asked Dennis about it he started speaking to Liz in a different language maybe Korean, not sure, then from two tables away Liz said everything is sterilized at night which to me should be done between clients and after every use. Nice people, good at their jobs just not sure how clean their shop is. read more

I love coming here!! I've been coming here for about 2 years or more now. She always treats me lovely. She's great at her profession. I always leave out of there satisfied. I've been to a couple other places but not one place has been as detail oriented as she has with my feet. I get pedicures about every month and she makes my feet look and feel brand new! read more

Went in for a last minute pedicure and they fit Me in. I was in the chair for over an hour. They massaged me and made sure my toes looked awesome. good experience read more

Liz is my girl!! I don't live in Modesto anymore but I make the 30 minute drive every time I need my nails and eyebrows done. My mom and even one of my friends now go to her as well and also feel it's worth the extra drive! Love love love her work! read more

As soon as I walked in, the lady sitting in the front chair doesn't even greet me. I had to ask her for service! All I wanted was a simple pedicure. She said an hour wait and told me to come back. I just walked out! On top of that, she didn't even bother to look up at me! Rude Rude Rude read more

First off the male that works in here is so rude. The work is sloppy and his attitude is just awful. He's very rough and does things his own way. I would never recommend this place to anyone. There are far to many other good nail salons in Modesto and this is not one of them. I wanted to tell him to stop just because of his attitude alone. Save your money and your time , go elsewhere. Your supposed to feel happy when you leave the nail shop. I'm pissed off! Please I encourage you not to go here. read more

Under new management, great place right around the corner from me. Nails, waxing, eyebrows you name it they can do it. Fast and great job, I didn't have to wait. Thank you! I'll be back! read more

Stopped coming here when Liz left. Recently our paths crossed in a save mart parking lot and found out she's back! She is the best. I recommend Liz Nail Shop formerly Ocean Nail. Great service and work. For you former Queen Nail customers in Turlock, Dennis is here now. Don't understand the negative posts but don't let one bad apple ruin the bunch. Give them a try. Welcome back Liz! read more

You are guaranteed bad service, lousy nails by Liz and an attitude!! Do not go here unless you want to sit in the worst nail salon in Modesto!!! I went in for a fill and a pedi. I requested that all the old color should be removed because I wanted clean nails. I asked her to shorten my nails a little more, which she did unevenly. She did not like that I asked her to even out two of the nails. I noticed one nail was slightly lifted on one side and had a little something under it. I told her I was going to choose a frosty clear nail color and it would show through. Liz became annoyed when I did not like the color I chose. I told her the color did not match the sample and I did not like it. She removed the color from the one nail and I chose another. When she was done I looked at my nails and I could see that she left dirt under the lifted nail and applied acrylic over it. I was so overly frustrated at this point. Lastly I asked her to please fix the nail. I expected her to redo the nail. Her way of fixing it was to first tell me "if you get cut and bleed it's not my fault", she then clipped the side of my nail!!! She then told me she had an appointment coming and could not do a pedi!! I was glad!! She lied to me about having an appointment no one came in as I sat and waited for my ride to arrive. read more

Julie Bee Nails - Four chips 2 days after a fill - Nail Salons Near Me - Modesto, California

See all

I usually go here and they are always pretty good. This time I had gotten simple French tip on Sunday, today 4 days later I noticed my nails were starting to lift. I was furious so I went back in told the lady and all she said was it was the gel coat and wasn't the acrylic. When You can obviously see the corners of all my nails lifting. Horrible experience never going back read more

My pedicure was great. I think she knew I was upset by then. I had a full set put on first with gel clear coat. She seemed rushed and tired and the acrylic was lumpy. And didn't cover my entire nail. I had to ask her two times to correct the sloppy areas and she had to repaint my nails because the polish was not applied right and was bubbly. I thought I was being picky but my husband confirmed that my nails did not look good. I won't go back read more

The first time I went here I walked in and asked for a fill and polish change on my feet, Dennis did a great job on my nails, however my toes looked HORRIBLE, almost as if it was intentional. The lady, I'm assuming Liz is her name (one of only two employees) was extremely rude, looking me up and down and acting as if I was inconviencing her....So I had been looking for someone to consistently do my nails and Dennis did a great job so I returned for his service, she offered to do a pedicure and I declined, I payed, tipped went about my day.....two weeks later I called to come see Dennis, she wouldn't let him speak on the phone and told me to come at 12:15, I go in and she told me to come back at 1:15, he was with a customer. I leave to kill some time and I get a phone call from Liz telling me not to come back, I was confused as to why, I asked her if there was a problem and all she kept saying was sorry then hung up on me. She sounded as if she was trying to not be heard which was also strange. I went back right after because she did not give me any reason why she was telling me not to come back and I wanted Dennis to know WHY I hadn't returned. I walked in and she didn't say ANYTHING, she had this crazy glare like she had hate in her eyes. I told Dennis from the front of the shop that she told me not to come back but didn't tell me why and he suggested maybe it was the wrong number. I told him absolutely was not the wrong number, he apologized and I told Liz that it was extremely rude and unproffessional, all the while she's fumbling through her drawers still not saying anything acting as if nothing had happened. This lady is wacked lol. read more

First time here and I'm already liking it! They do eyelash, facials, nails, eyebrows, everything !! If you have a problem with anything they help you out !!!! thanks to my nail tech (: read more

The girls are just awesome. Very friendly and do a great job and the hot rock massage is very relaxing

I had a horrible experience at this place. Got "gel" on my nails for 25$ and they cracked within 3 days. I also got a pedicure and it also came off within days. Went back to get them re done and they were so rude about it saying that nothing is free in this world. Horrible place please do not waste your time and go there read more

I just got my nails done today by Dennis and I love it! I'm usually picky with how I want my nails to look like but he completely did everything that I wanted. I love the new management along with the wonderful atmosphere of the place - Liz Nails Spa! I definitely recommend Dennis and this place for anyone out there who wants the perfect nails. :) read more

Went in for gels, however had a dark polish on already. The technician that helped me did not entirely remove the old polish. So when I was done I had dark outlines around my new "tickled pink" gels. Needless to say I was not tickled. It seemed she was working me in btwn another client, she worked fast and didn't even trim my cuticles. My fiancé even noticed she painted over them. This would be more understanding had the place been super busy, but they were not. It was only myself and one other person there. read more

Everytime i come to liz nails i get my nails done with dennis because he does a really good job , he know what hes doing & exactly what i like it is a clean place the nails last really long i really recommend it read more

Horrible people... at least the guy and I'm guessing the lady is the owner... walked in to ask about a job (im a licensed manicurist.and seen ad that they where hiring on Craigslist,recently moved from bay area ) I walked in and the guy walks in right behind me asked me what I need and he's looking at me from head to toe and I told him I was wondering if they were hiring needing people to work he nods no and tells me with the finger hold on walks up to the lady tell her something in their language and while she's walking up to me she's staring at me from head to toe as well. I tell her what I'm there for and she tells me how I find out about the job I said Craigslist(tells me to sit down while she's standing next to me) and she starts telling me where have I worked before then all the normal questions about "interviewing people". It was kind of hard to understand her but I stopped ignoring her after she said she had a microwave and she was sensitive to smell and I had to go outside to eat like really? Sensitive to smell? You guys do acrylics in there and that's harsh. She asked if I could go the next day and bring my stuff and she was going to see how I worked I said yeah. But no way I did not go back that was just a horrible experience. First I was being starred from head to toe by both of them with an evil look, was told by the guy at first that they weren't needing people. then she told me about sense of smell and I had to eat outside no no. I'm sure they didn't care I didn't go the next day. They deserve no stars at all. But I guess I have to put one because Yelp wants to read more
