After moving from the city to Santa Rosa, one of the things I struggled with most was finding a…read morenail tech who truly understands Russian manicures. I didn't realize how picky I was until I kept comparing every place to what I was used to--and nothing quite measured up... until now. I finally found this hidden gem, and I can honestly say it was worth the search. From the moment I walked in, I noticed how clean, bright, and thoughtfully designed the studio was--spacious, chic, and immediately calming. Cleanliness is a huge priority for me, and she absolutely delivered. Her tools were perfectly prepped and sanitized, which gave me so much confidence right away. What really stood out, though, was her technique. This wasn't a rushed, basic manicure--it was true Russian manicure precision. She took her time with my cuticles, shaping, and overall nail care, working so carefully and closely that you can actually see the difference in the final result. I brought in a nail inspo photo, and she nailed it (literally) on the first try. No back and forth, no adjustments needed--just flawless execution. And can we talk about the finish? Perfectly clean lines, no excess polish, no bubbles, no creasing--just crisp, detailed, beautiful nails. I went with an Easter-inspired set, and it came out so fresh and polished. If you're someone who notices every little detail like I do, you'll appreciate the level of precision here. She even offered a complimentary refreshment, which was such a nice touch and made the whole experience feel extra special. If you're looking for a clean, precise, and truly high-quality Russian manicure in Santa Rosa, this is the place. No rushing, no shortcuts--just amazing work. Safe to say, I've found my new go-to. Already looking forward to my next appointment!

After she had shaped my nails (well, after she had told me she couldn't do short almond nails (which I get all the time)), I saw how damaged my cuticles were and told her I'd like to stop the manicure. I couldn't imagine what she would do to me with metal tools. The rest of the shop seemed incredibly nice but the owners didn't question my experience at all and I paid for gel removal and shaping I guess. $18 to have my hands tortured.

They rush through everything and there's always something off -- missed spots on the sides, polish on my cuticles, just sloppy little details that add up. The last time I went they used old polish that literally never dried properly and it ended up smearing all over my socks and shoes the next day. I went back for a complimentary redo hoping it would be fixed and honestly it was even worse. The woman doing it was clearly annoyed the whole time and did such a rushed, uneven job that I could still see the old color underneath the new one. Like it was barely even covered. Just not worth it. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Lori takes a "scientific" approach, focusing on nail health, yet she also does an artful job with polishes. She uses high quality products, and her environment is extremely sanitary. She really loves doing nail care and specializes in senior clientele, who often have a lot of issues with feet. I highly recommend her talents and compassionate approach!

Lori is an artist in her color creations and is always coming up with a 'new look' for my nails. Each new design bring numerous compliments!! I especially like going to Lori because I have severe arthritis and she is mindful of the pain that could be associated with having my nails done and is very, very cautious. Treat yourself and go to Lori for your nails. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the quality of her work, her professionalism and friendly personality! You get what you pay for, and with Lori you get the very best!!

I've been going to Hi Nails for about a year now, and I truly can't imagine going anywhere else…read more I've never really felt comfortable in nail salons, but that completely changed after my first visit here. Every appointment since, they've made me feel so welcome and at ease. What I love most is how personal the experience is. They actually remember the things I've shared about my life and always ask how my mom and sister are doing, which is incredibly sweet and means a lot. I've never experienced that at any other nail salon. And it's not just with me. They're always asking customers about their lives, whether they're new or returning customers. I'm usually calling day‑of for a gel mani/pedi, and they always find a way to fit me in. They'll even give me a call if they're able to get me in sooner. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and so appreciated. I always leave extremely happy with my nails and toes. The care, effort, and pride they put into their work really shows. Everyone is always smiling and doing whatever they can to make you comfortable (for me, that usually means turning the heat on when it's cold). Hi Nails is truly special, and I'll never go anywhere else for my nails as long as I live in Sonoma County!

I went to Hi Nails for the first time after hearing about it on my moms group and reading reviews…read more They were able to get me in writhing 30 min of me calling on a Sunday afternoon, which I appreciated. I got a manicure and pedicure without any polish this time. The gentleman who did my toes was nice, wore a mask and turned on the massage chair for me. He used lotion on my legs, scrub and hot stones. Everything felt great. He let me read my book, which I appreciated. I wasn't in any rush. The only negative is that on inspection when I got home, it wasn't really the best pedicure. He got my cuticles but the nails were cut pretty straight (I asked for round) and it looks like there is still some dirt on the sides of my big toe nails. The owner (I think) was very nice and did my nails. She did a great job - they are short and round as requested, no hang nails and clean cuticles. Price was $60 plus tip. Very reasonable. The salon itself is a little on the older side, yet still clean and appeared hygienic.

To me it looked like I had done it myself! The water was borderline cold when last time it was too hot. She asked but I didn't want to make a fuss over anything. I barely got any kind of salt scrub or lotion- mere seconds and then trying to leave after sitting there drying with a fan you couldn't feel I couldn't even get her attention to leave because she had her back turned to me eating food. I leaned out over and over again to see if she would turn around and she never checked on me. Even the man had to get her attention and she finally got up. And the price although still pretty reasonable had increased Now I'm going to check out some other places
