    1st impression walking In the was not good! the space was dirty and very cluttered, looks like they are using it as a storage place. paid $45 for my daughter to get gel French manicure. the lines are not straight and it de was not worth paying over $50 (with tip)

    I loved my experience at the nail shop! She is very fast at doing nails and gave me exactly what I wanted. I will definetely go again and I recommend this place!

    My nails look BEAUTIFUL

    After reading the last two 1-star review's it is clear to me that these people should seek some serious help. I have been going to Eva and her husband for over two years now and so has my daughter. I go twice a month and every time we walk in, we are greeted by our names, and Eva and her husband always have smiles on their faces. Eva does amazing nails and her husband does a great job with pedicures!! The have always used sterile instruments and I've personally watched them clean their pedicure bowls after each client. So stating any different is just childish.Their prices are EXTREMELY reasonable and if anyone has ever asked for a full set with design, you know you're looking at $80 to $100 dollars, especially when it's done well. The comments below truly disgust me. Never would Eva or her husband hold someone "hostage" or "kidnap" them due to non-payment. That is an insane comment. Also the horrible comment about not speaking English is wildly ignorant and stating that Eva's husband eyes have no soul, is disgusting. I have personally reported those comments and I'd appreciate others who have been to Kathy's to do the same. I have nothing but appreciation for them and the art they create. They are WONDERFUL people and it makes me sad to see people writing reviews with such hate. Next time (girl below) go somewhere else if the "vibe" was off from the beginning. Also, educate yourself more when you speak on behalf of people's language barriers and accusations that can actually in turn, get you into a lot of legal trouble.

    Wedding Acrylic and Gel French Set

    I live in Santa Cruz but drive here for my Nails because Ava and her Husband consistently do Quality Work at Affordable Prices. I am a Licensed Manicurist myself so I know when people are Hygienic and Skilled. They are Both. I always get the Deluxe Pedicure with a Gel Add on and they last for months until they are grown out. I also had Ava do my Beautiful Bridal Set for my Wedding this past April and they lasted almost a month looking pristine. I am so impressed with her work. I have short nail beds and usually my French never look delicate and feminine and she made it happen. 100% Recommend. I even brought my Husband in for the Deluxe Pedi and nail buff and he left feeling so relaxed from the Massage Chair. I've never reviewed a nail spot before but this one is AMAZING!

    I walked into the salon with long, strong nails and no cuts and left with short, thin nails and so many cuts!

    I hate to say it, but my most recent experience at Kathy Nails was horrendous. I used to go years ago and don't remember ever having a bad experience, so they must have really gone downhill since then. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how cluttered with all kinds of junk the space was. I tried to look past that as best as I could, and that actually proved easy to do once my dip powder manicure began because it was by far the most PAINFUL manicure I'd ever received. I think the tech just had the power turned up way too high on the tool he was using to remove the powder I already had on my nails because it BURNED so bad--it was truly excruciating; I'd never experienced that sensation while having my nails done. I told him, and he turned it down, but it still burned a bit. He also managed to cut my fingers multiple times. I had several bleeding cuts on my fingers, and he did not even apologize. Plus, I asked him to cut my very long nails down a bit, and he cut them SUPER short. He gave me a gel pedicure afterwards, and that was fine. That manicure was definitely the worst, though. Needless to say, I will not be returning!

    Probably the best and my most favorite set I have ever received. I wanted to try out a new nail salon, so I came across Kathy nails! The man was very friendly and welcoming. I got exactly what I wanted and I was super pleased. My appointment was at 6 and I was a bit tad late but the man still took me in and did an incredible job!! Will be coming back!

    Nails by Ava...
    Bobbi W.

    Recently moved to Ben Lomond and found this gem! Ava does the absolute best nails! They have everything and more that you would find in the city in a nice quiet environment... check out my St. Patrick's Day inspired nails by Ava!

    This was my first time here and these are def the best set of acrylics I've ever had done for me. I really appreciate how they took the time to shape my nails just like how I wanted and even gave me color recommendations for the design! Shoutout to the guy who did this set for me for not only having such attention to detail but also for being able to hold good conversation. I will definitely be back another day!

    I never write bad reviews no matter how bad something may be but this is truly something else. My appointment was at 11 and I showed up around 10:45 and left at 1pm. My appointment was a little over two hours long and this is what I walked out with. The man doing my nails refused to paint them and kept saying it looked better without the color disregarding the fact that I am the one paying for the service. I'm bleeding on two of my nails and there is glue and acrylic all over my nails. When I requested a refund they denied and said that they would fix them for free but I couldn't get a refund. Every nail is crooked in some way and shaped differently.

I don't live in the area anymore but when I visit I will occasionally get my toes done here. I used to do gel on my toes but switched to regular polish in the last year for the health of nails. The nail tech did a neat job but as always at this place everything was so rushed. There was no waiting in between coats, and they actually kicked me out of the pedicure chair before the service was done because a bunch of people had walked in and they didn't want to lose the sales. The top coat ended up getting applied by the door of the shop and there was quite literally no wait time in between coats. This was 2 hours ago now, I had the ac in my car running on my feet the entire drive home and the polish is still gummy and wet because there was no time to dry between coats. What happened to the little fans to help dry coats faster? Or just allowing a little bit of time between coats as you're supposed to? I do respect these women as they pretty much all work 9-6 7 days a week. But I just can't justify the money spent here anymore when they're rushing your service to turn out as many people as possible and not taking pride in their work.

In the past I have had them, pass me to multiple people during manicure/pedicure. I'd rather just have one person.

When I sat down, the person helping me convinced me that she could redo all of my toes so they would be the same color. Before agreeing, I specifically asked how long it would take because I explained that I had very limited time. I was told it would be very quick, so I agreed. Unfortunately, I ended up being there for about 50 minutes and left with nothing that I originally asked for. I came in with a French tip and was originally told that could be recreated. I was also told the acrylic/dip would match the color I already had. Instead, clear acrylic was applied and then painted over with pink polish. When I tried to explain that I felt the polish was being applied too thick, the response I received was, "I don't understand." At that point, I honestly became uncomfortable continuing to explain what I wanted. I could see that they have many loyal customers, and I did not want to come across as rude or be the person complaining, so I accepted the service, paid, and left. What is most disappointing is that I would have been completely fine if they had simply told me from the beginning that they could not recreate what I already had or that they did not have enough time. I would have thanked them and gone somewhere else. Instead, I agreed to additional services based on what I was told could be done, spent almost an hour there, and left with something completely different from what I asked for. I understand that not every salon or technician will be able to recreate another salon's work, and that is okay. I just wish there had been better communication and honesty about what could actually be done before I agreed to the service.
