So happy to have found a good nail salon in Davis! I went in at 6:30, and even though they closed at 7, they did not hesitate to do a manicure. I had a gel manicure- they use LED curing lights which is great, and they have a wide selection of colors. The salon is very clean and organized, I will definitely be back for a pedicure soon! read more

My best friend and I visited Davis today and spent our entire morning getting pampered by the sweet and attentive ladies at Looking Good Salon and Spas. :) Even though we didn't have an appointment, Kim still greeted us with a very warm welcome. We both got our gel manicure and pedicure package. Sarah, our nail technician, was patient with us as we pondered over our color choices and even offered her expertise on color combination. Sarah created a beautiful sparkly mermaid pattern for me with matching toes too. She also added this beautiful rock star glitter to finish off the look. After being spoiled with my mani pedi, Karen, the color expert worked on my hair and gave me sun kissed caramel highlights and a touch up trim on my layers. Karen took great care in consulting with me along the way and then worked her magic to give me the natural looking balayage look that I've been wanting for years. Even though I don't live in Davis, this salon will definitely be on my list to visit every 3-4 months for a touch up. Thank you Kim, Sarah, and Karen! :) read more

Jonny knows how to give a great haircut and how to hold a conversation. Double whammy. Went in with long, scraggly hair down my back, and came out with a cute, medium length, face framing style. Love it! Jonny knew how to make me feel comfortable. I've never had short hair and cutting off so much length was scary, but he assured me it would look great, and it does. Definitely going back there soon! read more

The ladies here who do mani/pedis are so nice and great at their job too! I think it is also the most reasonably priced gel mani in Davis!!

I got a cut and a ombré here and had an awesome experience. Kim and Karen are so nice and knowledgable. I plan on coming here again.

just had the best gel mani + reg pedi ever !! their prices are sooooo reasonable, even i was surprised :) Lea did such a good job, i wish i could have tipped more but i will make sure to come here more often now. definitely a hidden gem in Davis~ read more

Today, I had the best pedicure ever! The nail salon at Looking Good is under new management with new manicurists. Karen has been my hair cut-and-color girl for a few years now and she always does a great job. Now the nail salon has some talented manicurists that deliver beautiful nails and soothing massage in a highly professional manner. read more

Great experience! I was visiting on business and was in desperate need of a pedicure...They were already closed and stayed open for me to receive service! Amazing and sweet staff... Highly recommend and would definitely go back! Great work and very relaxing! Every other place nearby closed by 5! read more

Kim cut my hair and it looked great! (It still does, actually!) She listened and worked with what I wanted and my hair type. I love it! She was friendly, funny and knows her stuff! I also got a mani/pedi and the mani was with gel and the pedi was with regular polish, but both lasted 4 weeks and I only changed it because I wanted a change. I think both would have lasted longer. read more

When I went in, I had so many slit ends and the color of my hair was horrible, but when I left my hair was silky soft and i felt beautiful! Karen treated me like a queen and did everything to save my hair and always asked what I wanted. Great customer service! I would definitely recommend this place! Also, this the price was very reasonable! :) read more

I just got my hair done here by Kim and I absolutely love it! I hadn't had a hair cut since late April or my hair colored since last December. I also have very thick, quite long hair, and due to my naturally curly hair, I burn it everyday with a flat iron or curling wand in order to tame it. This causes me to get split ends, and since it had been over 6 months since my last hair cut, I had ALOT of them. Kim cut and colored my hair exactly how I wanted it and even suggested some great products to upkeep the shine and color in my hair. I will definitely be back here in about three months. Prices are also incredibly reasonable for the great, professional work. I highly recommend this salon, they are well underrated and need more, new clients! read more

Wow! I have been getting rockstar nails done for the past two years in Santa Cruz, and after moving to Davis this past fall I've been making the trip down once a month to visit friends (and get my nails done!) I finally tried to get my nails done here locally and even brought my own glitter to a nail place, only to be sent away. I called Looking Good Salon based on their amazing reviews and have been thanking my stars!!! Sarah knew exactly what I was talking about and was very enthusiastic about making sure I got precisely what I wanted! Everyone was gracious and genuine. I am thrilled that the ambiance was nice and the service was superb. I plan on getting my nails, hair and waxing done there from now on! read more

This place is warm, welcoming, easy to access and filled with talented designers. We randomly found this spot en route to Sonoma...all of us in need of mani / pedi's. We popped in for a quick treat and have been beyond delighted with the services. Kim and Amy made us feel like we've been good friends and long time clients from the moment we walked in the door. The entire shop is extremely clean, they even have special liners for the foot tubs so every customer is ensured a sterile soak while being extra pampered with the fabulous chair massage. My nails (fingers and toes) have rarely received such attention to detail, I LOVE how pretty they look and soft my skin is from the exfoliating scrubs. All 3 of my party are thrilled with the services and wonderful people here...our only regret is we don't live closer. read more

Johnny Anaya is an incredibly talented stylist. I found him here by recommendation of a woman in Davis who had a lovely pixie cut. For 2 years I have been wanting to make this very drastic change and he did exactly what I showed him In the picture. Made my cut feminine yet modern and polished and over all had a very zen calm attitude which I much needed! He was compassionate and knowledgable. He is a hidden gem! read more

So I usually do not write reviews but this situation I had with the nail technician and the owner has me really heated. To start off, I've been to this place before and have gotten amazing acrylic nails done that had lasted me 2 weeks or more but my job wouldn't allow me to have them so I had to take them off by the two weeks. I come back on a Wednesday for another event I had for the weekend and I needed my nails done and expected the same standards and they were not even close to being the same. I understand they took me in last minute as the last appointment (I called ahead to make sure it was fine) they said they could take me in and do my nails. The first sign that should have made me worried about these nails were when I saw the glitter gel she used on one of my nails it was transparent, almost see through. I asked her to put another coat or to fix how it looks and it made my nail look very messy and thick. I left the store because I knew it was last minute and I knew that this was the best they could do in this time crunch. The very next day I open the door to my car and two off the nails just popped off. I thought to myself "man I need to be more careful." I got those redone (mind you I am out of town so I had to pay to get them redone AND with the wrong color) like I said I didn't mind too much as long as I had decent looking nails for the weekend. By Sunday 3 more nails popped off and at this point I was already so done with the nails I did not want to get them redone or put new ones on because like I said my work doesn't allow them and it wouldn't make sense to have to put on and off nails 3 times within 2 weeks. When I returned to the nail salon I explained what happened to the nail technician that did my nails and all she offered was to get them redone or take off the nails and get gel on my regular nails. I explained I couldn't do that and that I didn't have time. I asked if I could get refunded or maybe a coupon for next time and both the technician and the owner said they couldn't do that. The owner offered me to get them redone within this month but I explained I couldn't and that the only time I could would be in June. She said couldn't refund nor redo them in June. What I am most irritated about this situation is that within less than a week 5 nails came off, I had to pay to get 2 redone and the neither the technician nor the owner were willing to work with me. The technician also accused me of lying, saying I didn't get the two nails redone. I had to show her the difference in color between the nails in order to show that I got them redone. Lastly, the nail technician finally took off my nails and used no solution or any other way to take off the glue off my nails. She just ran another acrylic nail under my nails to take them off which was very painful. Overall, this is a very unprofessional and overpriced place to get your nails done. I have seen better work in LA or other places that do them for cheaper. I paid almost $50 to just have half of my nails fall off within less than a week. Save your money and go to professionals that don't half ass their work. read more

I'm from out of town and needed a quick pedicure, and pretty badly lol. So, I had no issues with parking, got in without a wait, the place was super clean, and I had one of the pedicures ever. I honestly can't remember the last time I was this pleased with my pedicure! She took her time, spent time on the right places (without me having to say anything), the exfoliating was on point, she massaged my feet and calves, rubbed them down with hot stones, and finished it off with a warm steamed towel. AMAZING...thank you so much Leann! read more

I got a gel manicure here yesterday. It didn't look that great walking out of the salon (my fault for not saying anything), and the polish on two of my nails has already chipped today. read more

Let me start by saying I called first for a price quote for a shampoo & hair style, the lady on the phone said it started at $35 but shouldn't be no more than $45. So I went in yesterday, I just got a shampoo & curl when my husband went to pay for it they said that will be $65 dollars!!!! I was so upset I couldn't believe it. Long story short the curls fell by the end of the night & I got ripped the hell off! My usual hairstylist I go to charges me $30 (plus they offer me water, tea or coffee) and my curls stay for 2 days. LESSON LEARNED Get a quote in person before they even touch your hair. read more

Had never been before but read the reviews. Kim was lovely and Amy gave me the best pedi ever! So nice and spotless clean! Use liners in the tubs and have great chairs! Thank you, Kim! We will be back! read more

Got a gel manicure and pedicure. Pedicure was satisfactory but the manicure was obviously rushed. I get that if they take you in as a walk-in arojnd 30 min-1 hour before closing, they will probably have to stay past 7pm to finish. But that doesnt mean you should sacrifice service quality. I asked for a cloudy white nail color on my hands and sparkles on the top but I just got see-thru nails with sparkles. Maybe it was miscommunication but I repeated what I wanted 3 times and was upset when they didnt get it right. The gel for the manicure was layered on so thick that when it dried, almost every nail has 2+ lumps (near both the top and bottom areas of the nail). 3 of the nails had gel on the cuticle which is fine cause I just scratched it off but one was layered on so thick that it made me chip off a chunk that I intended to keep on (like it came off of my actual nail cause the connection was so thick if you get what I mean). The pedicure I got was almost perfect with just 1-2 bits on my cuticle but thats easy fixed. I personally never want to bash on companies but just want to put down an honest forewarning for anyone who is a walk-in customer coming near closing time. The customer service I received was superb as the ladies are all really kind and talkative (which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 3 stars). I would honestly save $10 and go to G street nails for the same quality of service (if not, better) but if you want to try it out yourself, I recommend not going near closing time as the service goes down in quality due to the employees wanting to rush to leave the shop themselves. read more

I had a great experience here! I got a pedicure. She did a great job exfoliating my feet and very relaxing massage. Plus there was no wait! Very friendly employees. Definitely recommend! read more

Came in recently for an acrylic removal and gel manicure. I called ahead and made a same day appointment, which I'm glad I did! Leann was so nice and accommodating, despite the rush of people that came after me waiting for a service. She was rushed, but that didn't affect her attention to detail. The gel manicure was done better than most spots here in town. I definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting their nails done, but be sure to make an appointment! read more

Karen thanks again for a superior hair style! We worked on my hair today adding ombre and shades with a full layer cut. I love it.

Got my hair done by Karen, mani by Cindy and pedi by Mai. These ladies are great, and I always leave looking fabulous! read more

I walked into this place wanting to know how much it would cost to cut the length of hair I had. The owner was busy talking on the phone the whole time, she did not acknowledge me. Some lady hanging out on the front was trying to estimate the price, and throwing numbers around. Please treat people nicely and pay attention. I work 70+ hours a week, may look exhausted but that doesn't mean you should walk off on me. read more

Miranda is so great at nails! She took us even though they were closing ! great new shop! The staff spoke English the entire time! The chairs are great and the tubs are fully lined so sanitary!! I will definitely come back the place doesn't even smell like a nail salon ! read more

If you want the best long, shiny, and healthy hair you have to see Karen! She does an outstanding job and my hair has never looked or felt better. Looking Good Salon is super nice, clean, and has a relaxed vibe, perfect for a salon. The location is perfect and I definitely will continue to drive from the City to get my hair done here, so worth it :) read more

Friendly, relaxing and fun! I'm so glad this salon opened up. Been coming to Karen for 4+ years, she's great with me and my kids. Very well done, personal care at it's best! read more

Came in for a regular men's haircut. Got Karen, who did a great job and was very friendly the whole time. I'll definitely be coming back!

Horrible gel manicure. Several of my nails have bubbles in the polish and one nail has a much thicker coat of polish than the rest and looks lumpy. Very disappointed and will not be returning. read more

Went to get a simple gel manicure with a design. She doesn't know how to do designs and when I found one on my phone for her she still could not do it. She's also not good with colors. I asked for the design in red and after 10 purple colors she finally remembered what the color red is. I ended up getting no design. She messed up the gel on 2 of me nails that I had to fix. After a week they are already chipping. Will not be going back again. read more

I went to this place because it had great reviews but honestly it didn't live up to the hype. Although my manicurist was nice he didn't do the best job. My nails were filed into a weird and uneven square shape, even when I asked him to fix it and just do an oval shape. I got a gel manicure and the gel went all over my cuticles and skin. He kept trying to clean the sides with his nails (which usually I'm fine with but it was gross to have him only rely on his own nails to fix the issue) he didn't use any acetone to clean up the edges. At the end of the manicure he told me that I could go fix the shape of my nails when I got home which is completely ridiculous because if I'm paying for a manicure I shouldn't have to fix it myself! Maybe it was just my manicurist but I wouldn't go back there again even if I got someone else. read more

They ROCK!! Excellent job and really great price! They also got us RIGHT in!! You have to go here and give these folks your business!

This is the best experience I've ever had getting a pedicure. Everyone is so nice and does their best to make you comfortable and Ann is a joy. Definitely one of the best pedicures in Davis. read more

Karen is the best!!! Love my new look! She doesnt rush and is willing to take however long to make you happy , she's amazing!

This is a great salon, nicely decorated and very clean! The pedicure foot bath even had a plastic lining replaced after each customer. The gel mani/pedi is $60 and the woman who did mine did a good job on my oddly shaped nails (and I got the best hand and foot massage I have ever had). I will definitely go again! read more

Best pedicure ever. Last summer, I had my toes done before a long trip to Europe. I am the sort of person whose pedicure often is damaged by my clumsiness before I leave the salon. My pedicure lasted a month. I love them. read more

Love this place! I got a great gel mani that lasted 3 weeks with no chipping so today I went back for another gel mani and a pedi. This place has such a good vibe and the women who work here are so friendly and sweet. If this gel mani has the same long life span, this will definitely be my go-to salon! PS added bonus, they don't charge for gel removal if you get another gel mani which is a BIG bonus for me. I've noticed that a few other salons in Davis have started charging for gel removal (usually around $5) when they didn't used to. A big thumbs up for Looking Good Salon! read more

I went there today to get a pedicure with my boyfriend and we had a great time! the lady who did ours toes was super sweet and personable. i appreciated the effort she put into making relatable conversation with us. She even complimented me a few times which i thought was very nice. i will definitely be back!! read more

Great shop. Very clean and accommodating. Staff is friendly and welcoming. 5 stars for sure and will return.
