I've slowly become a regular here -- after just one service, how could you not? The experience is…read moreconsistently top‑notch. You're greeted with a warm, friendly smile, and my favorite part is being asked, "What drink would you like, miss?" A complimentary glass of bubbles never hurts. The dedicated service, clean and hygienic atmosphere, and the level of care and precision are truly impressive. It's competitively priced compared to other local shops -- you might pay about $10 more, but you can't really put a price on comfort and luxury. I love it here. Keep up the great work.

This was my second visit to Blush, and unfortunately, the experience was very different from my…read morefirst. I scheduled a visit a few days in advance for three people and four services and paid an $80 deposit ($20 per service) via Venmo. One person canceled that morning, but I was able to switch to a different service for myself that same day vs. losing my deposit. The two pedicures were fine. They were basic pedicures, and aside from the water initially being extremely hot, I was happy with the results. Because of the deposit, there was also no wait time. The head spa, however, was a completely different experience. This was my first head spa, so I was excited and expected it to be relaxing. Unfortunately, it was anything but. The massage was brief, and despite the menu stating that oils would be used, none were applied. During the double cleanse, the technician used her fingernails rather than her fingertips, which became painful. There was also an excessive amount of cleanser, and rinsing it out was difficult. The water temperature was extremely inconsistent--going from hot to ice cold--and water got into my ear. Instead of feeling relaxed, I was uncomfortable throughout the service. Afterward, my hair was not completely dry. When I asked for serum, I was told it had already been applied, and I had to explain that I wanted my hair fully dried and soft. Another staff member eventually finished drying it, and the end result was much better. The two services totaled $138, or $158 with a 15% tip. I shared all of this feedback with the front desk before leaving. They were receptive and said they would provide additional training. I was also told that the technician was new to the salon and has some communication issues. I appreciate that they listened to my concerns, but based on my head-spa experience, I would not return for that service. *********************************************************** FINAL THOUGHTS Making a reservation requires a deposit, but it does give you priority if there's a wait. PRO TIP: I visited on a Saturday around noon, and it wasn't busy at all. If you're coming in solo, you can probably skip the reservation and deposit. I've had two pedicures here, and the service was totally fine. No issues at all. I also clearly saw the technicians using Barbicide to disinfect their metal tools, although I didn't pay attention to where they pulled the drill bits from. Overall, the salon is CLEAN, which I really appreciate. Personally, I wouldn't get a head spa treatment here again. I was told they're having plumbing issues because the building is old and that their plumber hasn't been able to resolve the problem. However, based on my experience, I feel some of the issues were related to the technician and not just the plumbing. That said, I'd love to hear from others who have had a head spa here. How was your experience with the water temperature? Did you have a better experience with a different technician? I'd genuinely be curious to know!

I've been coming to Nails by Tina Le for over a year now, and I wouldn't trust my nails to anyone…read moreelse. Consistency is everything when it comes to a nail salon, and they deliver every single time. The service is always warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. They remember you, they listen to what you want, and they never rush through an appointment. I always leave feeling taken care of. And the humor? Elite. The nail techs are so naturally funny that appointments fly by. It never feels stiff or transactional -- it feels like you're hanging out while getting top-tier work done. The vibe alone keeps me coming back. As for the quality, it's flawless. Clean shaping, smooth finishes, detailed designs, and nails that actually last. No lifting, no random chips a few days later. After a year of appointments, the standard has never dropped. When you find a place that's this consistent for over a year, you stick with it. Five stars, always.

Review (Fall 2022) I had an appointment with Tina, but when…read moreI arrived, she was with another client and told me her student would be taking me instead. Although I'm sure her student is talented, my appointment was specifically booked with Tina, and I was disappointed that this wasn't communicated ahead of time. I had been going to Tina for a few months and always booked simple clean-ups with no polish, still paying full price and leaving a tip each time. I drove 30 minutes to the salon and felt that my time and loyalty weren't respected. Tina later reached out and offered me a discount to make things right, but when I followed up by text, she stopped responding. Overall, I wish there had been better communication and follow-through, as the experience left me feeling disregarded as a returning customer. However, Tina is very good at what she does and the space is very clean. There is also parking available.

Henry did a great job with my pedicure - took his time - didn't rush at all. I felt pretty pampered, plus he worked on a couple of pressure points on my soles, so maybe he's also a reflexologist? Whatever, I felt like I had new feet when he was done. That's kind of a big deal for me. I'm getting older and I have some health challenges that make it very difficult to take proper care of my feet. I resisted paying to have them done for me, but now I wish I'd come here sooner. I don't need anything fancy - just a good grooming, really. But it's fun to get color, too. This summer, when I wear sandals, I'll feel cute.

Tiny shop just enough room for 2 customers (very cute). I like small, as hopefully I can relax during the Gel pedicure treatment without other customers talking on their cell phone, disturbing peace. (1 Full size massage chair in this spot) My fill and design were fantastic. Tony is an artist at his profession. My deluxe pedicure was ok. I prefer a firmer touch. Pedi means feet/toes...ankle area, too much of the time spent on the calf. ( Just my opinion and preference). She was kind and gracious, but not the best I have had for the cost.

When the current owner took over, the first thing I noticed were the brand new massage chairs. Very nice.

I could adapt to the price, but the peanut butter smell is quite revolting! They did do a very good job though.

When I arrived I was greeted by a young lady, nice inside, a customer was already in the pedicure chair, they have two chairs, there was only one technician which is fine. I advised I had an appointment for 11:45. Around 12:15 I was advise to move to another chair.. My feet were soaking as the technician was waiting for the other client toes to dry. Then she asked the client if it was ok to start on me, the lady said yes. Before she started I showed her the appointment and the price as this was my first time using booksy, The young lady stated that was not the price she also stated the owner was at a mtg/training. I asked if she could find out before she got started she texted the mgr to confirm the price. As she was waiting for a response a couple of minutes went by I advised her I wont be moving forward with the appointment as it was 12:45pm. As I was leaving and in my car pulling out of the parking lot a polite young lady waved me down explained that's her daughter business, she would be back after 3pm due to mtg/training and apologized. Recommendation: going forward if using different platforms for customers to book appointments these platforms should to updated to reflect that business day working hours will I be back on defense , not for sure.

They also had some clever pedicure options that I had never seen before, like a CBD pedicure. Easy parking and clean restrooms, always a plus. And they were keeping quite busy for a Saturday afternoon, which is a good sign. I am only around Sacramento once every 2-3 months but they are worth the extra cost, very clean, and this place rivals the nice nail salons in SF. I only wish they were open a few hours later on Saturdays. Lacquered Nail Salon is a really nice place to treat yourself to some self-care.
