Gel Manicure with almond shape acrylic and accent nail for Fall

Cyndi D.

Excellent service every time! Mai gave me an incredible pedicure this afternoon. She went above and beyond. 10/10 would recommend.

I recently moved to a new city and, of course, needed to get my nails done before starting my new job tomorrow. I decided to try a nearby salon called @Nails, which is conveniently within walking distance from home. The facility was very clean, and they even offered a complimentary beverage. Everyone there was friendly and welcoming. It was fairly quiet, but since it was a Monday morning, that was expected. I opted for a regular mani-pedi since I like to test out a new salon before going for anything more elaborate. My technician, Ben, did both services and did a phenomenal job. He shaped and buffed my nails perfectly and helped me choose a great shade of red. Overall, I'm really happy with my experience and will definitely be returning--hopefully, this will become my go-to nail salon!

Other girls and chicky in the cut lurking. Looking sus af. May forget about it at times but when I remember, I'll really remember.

Great service and Jenny did an amazing job. She was patient with my daughter and all her requests.

I love Lily! She is so talented and kind! And funny too! She does the best nail art! The vibe is great w Asian chefs and food markets cooking up a storm, it makes me want to travel!!! They have snacks and bevies, and their pedicure chairs are the best around!!! I just took my husband for his first ever and we had a ball! They are truly the best!!

I love going to @nails. The salon is clean and up to date and everyone is so kind. They even helped me get over my fear of pedicures - those with ticklish feet will understand.

Got my gel nails removed a few days ago and the guy buffed it way too thin. I usually go to my nail girly but she's booked up and all I needed were my nails removed but now My nails are splitting up to the skin area it makes grabbing anything super uncomfortable because they keep tearing. They are literally thinner than paper. Had to buy nail glue to glue the tips to keep from splitting more. I don't think buffing nails down to rid of the gel, soaking then removing them to buff more then soak and then file down is the correct order. U honestly don't feel like filing nails after a soak is correct at all. I will need to go to my nail girl to get gel on them just to keep them from further splitting. really sad. This should have been an easy procedure read more

Usually I have great service at this nail spa, but this time the guy at the front desk was aloof and Lilly who did my pedicure was not really into doing a pedicure. I always pay for a deluxe pedicure because I have calluses on both my big toes that need to be removed. When I asked her to remove more of the callus, she would not do it! This is what I am paying for.... Then after she applied the nail color, she disappeared for a long time and I had to ask one of the other employees to call her back to finish so I could leave. Like I said, usually I have great service here, but not this week...... read more

The guy in the front with long hair is so rude. As soon as we walk in he's giving attitude about who's getting what service. Then when I get my pedicure, the woman finishes the service in about 30 minutes. The worst pedicure I've ever got. She forgot to cut my cuticles so the nail polish go on my skin, it looks so messy. She got nail polish on my skin and scratches the polish off. I was in pain for every process of this. I did not enjoy anything about this pedicure. Sloppy job. Do not go for pedicures. They obviously don't know how to specialize with toe nails. read more

I'm 54 years old and have been getting my very bushy brows waxed since the 6th grade. For the past 10 years, Candice at Brow Therapy has been the ONLY person I trust with my eyebrows. They are coarse, grow in every direction, and have always been a source of insecurity for me. I am incredibly picky, and after many disappointing experiences over the years, I found the brow guru of the California Central Coast in San Luis Obispo. Candice is not only the best eyebrow waxer, tweezer, shaper, and scissor artist I've ever encountered, but she also runs her business with a genuine and humble, no fake BS approach that I absolutely love. She's always on time. Literally come as you are, she's got your brows. Recently, I treated myself to the 40 Minute Brow Experience, and it exceeded every expectation. The slight vibrations through the bed, the sounds through the headphones, and one touch from Candice, took me away so very quickly into a complete state of relaxation. I didn't have to make any effort to quiet my mind. After a year that included a breast cancer diagnosis and surgery, my body has been carrying an enormous amount of stress. For 40 minutes, all of it disappeared. There was no anxiety, no to do list, and no worrying about the future. I was floating on a cloud and was able to feel so present and filled with bliss throughout the entire treatment. And even after, I was walking on the clouds during grocery shopping at a peak hour! This was more than eyebrow maintenance and self care, it was healing. Candice, thank you for giving me 40 minutes of peace and fab brows during a very difficult time.

First, she toned it to smurf blue, offered to wash it out, apologized that she didn't understand what I wanted because she mixed my wishes up with all of her other new clients and offered to book an appt to fix it three days later if I paid her. Not surprisingly she then tried to change the time, the day and ultimately cancelled on me because she was sick and told me if I wanted to book a new appt, because she was no longer saying she was fixing it, now it was my poor communication, it would cost me 350 dollars. I have heard other people say bait and switch and that is exactly what I felt.

I couldn't get into my normal place and I was in a rush to get a fill because a few nails were broken and I had very limited time. So I stopped in and thought I would give this place a chance. First problem- I asked how soon they could take me, said they could take me right away. Sat me down but wasn't helped for 15 mins. Second problem- the acrylics had broken off a few nails, so I just wanted acrylic added on top of my real nails because they were really long already so no need for tips. I was told he couldn't do that and that I needed to soak off what nails were left and start fresh. He cut all my nails short added tips and proceeded to start the process. Third problem- he asked what color I wanted and shape. I like round and neutral colors. He proceeded to call me boring to my face and to multiple people around us. He made it a point to say it 5 times, loudly throughout my set. Fourth problem- the acrylic is uneven, he couldn't remember how many coats of gel color were put on, and the way he squeezed my fingers while drilling was almost violent. It was more important to slam the file down on the table in between filing my nails than it was actually shaping them correctly. He kept asking me in an aggressive tone if he was hurting me and if I liked my nails- I kept saying I was fine because he made me so uncomfortable. The sides of my thumbs are bruised from the pressure he was using and my nails are unbelievably sore from the way he was drilling and filing. Needless to say- I learned my lesson not to veer away from my normal place. I'll never be back. Worst experience I've ever had, waste of money, and I'll be soaking these off and getting them redone tomorrow. read more

I have been coming to @ Nails since I moved to the central coast 4 years ago. Every time I come in I feel like they really listen to my likes and dislikes and do whatever they can to make me happy with their work! The atmosphere is one of a kind, it really allows you to relax and enjoy your time being pampered by the staff. I have had my eyebrows waxed here as well as numerous manicures (acrylics, gells, and regular polish) and top notch pedicures and I have never left unhappy. The salon is sparkling clean every time I come in which is a must. They also have a HUGE selection of nail polishes as well as gel colors, and they are open to doing any type of design. I have gone in on numerous occasions and shown them a nail design I found on pinterest and they are able to successfully execute it every time, even adding their own special twists if you'll allow. All of the technicians do a wonderful job and it is evident that they thoroughly enjoy what they are doing. They are respectful of your time and will not make you wait a ridiculously long time. Their new location is amazing. After visiting their other location in the Costco Shopping center I didn't think they could get any better but they proved me wrong! They even have a complimentary Champagne Bar at the new place...does it get any better? I hope you'll consider using @Nails for all of your nail needs...They're amazing. read more

Update.. I received a private message from the "owner" it was just as rude an scathing as the service I received. ................................................................................... I've started using another location you can check my reviews for This place still bothers me thinking of my horrible experiences there... The guy Michael who works there is moody.. Sometimes nice sometimes gruff even rude... My fingers were often cut up and burning sensation... Some of the girls there are nice but I mostly could not find someone to do my nails consistently because it seemed like a lot of new faces I don't know why but they can't keep employees who are not family members ... It's a very cold unfriendly environment. I feel like they are always taking about the customers negatively and laughing.... I see they closed the other location near Costco ... They probably depend on unsuspecting college students... And had to move across town because they couldn't find locals who wanted to keep going there... My recommendation... Stay away Try somewhere else first read more

JENNY JENNY JENNY JENNY!!!!! I just finished getting my nails done about 20 minutes ago and I could not wait to get home and leave a review. I have never left a Yelp review for anything, but I often use the reviews of others to make decisions. I saw that everyone was recommending Jenny and for GOOD reason. Her attention to detail is immaculate, her artistry is unparalleled, and she is a joy to sit with. She did both my manicure (full set) and pedicure, and I know I will be back to see her as soon as my nails begin to grow out in the slightest. She took her time and was gentle while surprising me with nails that match my personality to a T. I had no idea what I wanted when I walked in, but I walked out feeling like I got exactly what I wanted. Not to mention, the foot massage she gave me with my pedicure was dreamy. Jenny is easily the best nail technician I have ever encountered and I cannot wait to go back and she what she comes up with next time. If you're looking for a sign, this is it! RUN, don't walk, to Jenny! read more

From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in good hands. Logan wasn't just skilled--he was an artist. He took the time to really understand what I wanted, offered thoughtful suggestions, and somehow elevated my simple idea into something genuinely stunning. Every detail was done with precision and care, from the shaping to the polish application, and the final result was flawless. What stood out most is that he worked with confidence, maintained a clean and relaxing workspace, and made the entire appointment feel comfortable and enjoyable. There was no rushing, no shortcuts--just pure dedication to her craft. I've had my nails done many times before, but this was on another level. I've received so many compliments, and I can't stop looking at my hands! If you're looking for someone who truly cares about their work and delivers exceptional results, this is the nail tech you want. I will definitely be coming back--this is the kind of quality that turns a one-time visit into a loyal client. read more

I am from out of town and I called ahead of time to make an appointment to fix a single nail that had broken. I had an appointment for 4:15pm to fix my one nail that had broke, I arrived at 4:10 and they didn't take me in until 4:40. I made an appointment because I didn't want to sit and wait so I was upset with the wait time. Then I noticed they offered something to drink to the person next to me and they didn't offer me anything. I came with my cousin to my nail appointment and the lady that takes payments and greets at the door told my cousin she could not use the bath because she didn't have a nail appointment, I was so flabbergasted at how bad their customer service was. To top everything else the nail that i went in to get fixed wasn't placed straight, this has been by far the worst service I have ever paid for and the worst customer service I've ever seen. I will never set foot in this establishment ever. Save yourself from a bad experiences and just go elsewhere. read more

I am absolutely OBSESSED with my chrome + pearl tip French set These turned out even better than I imagined. The shape is so flattering and elegant, and the chrome finish catches the light in the prettiest way without being too over the top. The pearl detailing on the French tips gives them such a classy, elevated vibe -- perfect mix of glam and timeless. I've already gotten so many compliments everywhere I go and people keep asking where I got my nails done. The attention to detail is unreal, and you can tell so much care went into every single nail. They feel sturdy, look flawless, and photograph SO beautifully. If you're thinking about getting a unique French set that still feels chic and wearable, this is your sign. Truly one of my favorite nail sets I've ever had. I left feeling so pretty and confident. Can't wait to come back for my next set read more

I have tried many other salons in SLO, Atascadero, & Paso. I love how much attention is placed on cleanliness and relaxation. I have been going to the location on Los Osos for over a year but recently tried the Foothill location. While the technicians are not always very talkative they are professional and they do a great job (my pedi's last a good three to four weeks). I think the new location is very hip and pretty. It is so nice to be pampered here. I wish they had the TV on the large wall in the Pedi section so I didn't have to turn my head to see the TV. In another salon in Paso they actually show movies so it is a great way to multitask (get your nails done and see a great movie), which alot of us do not have time to do very often. Maybe consider offering this occasionally. read more

I recently visited this nail salon for an acrylic set, and I must say, I am beyond impressed! From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home. My nail technician was highly skilled and paid meticulous attention to detail, ensuring my acrylics were shaped and sculpted to perfection. The salon offered an extensive selection of colors and designs, allowing me to personalize my nails to my liking. Throughout the process, my technician maintained a friendly and engaging conversation, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend this salon to anyone seeking top-notch nail services. Their expertise, customer service, and relaxing atmosphere truly deserve a 5-star rating. I can't wait for my next visit! read more

Going to a nail salon usually means constantly speaking up just to get what I asked for which is frustrating when you're paying $70+. Mai is a total breath of fresh air. She proactively checked in on the shape, length, and design the entire time, making sure I loved every detail. As someone who is very particular, I often hesitate to ask for changes because I don't want to seem difficult. But when I wanted a minor tweak, Mai was so gracious and happy to adjust it. No crooked nails, no missed details, and zero stress. On top of her exceptional work, the customer service here is amazing, complete with complimentary drinks. Mai made sure I was 100% happy with my set long before I reached checkout. I couldn't recommend her more! read more

I have been going to the original @nails location for years and have always been happy with the service, cleanliness and attention to detail the staff gives when giving a manicure or pedicure. I recently went to their new location on foot hill and was very impressed! A few months ago I moved to AG and have tried a handful of other nail salons closer to my house and even in SLO, but never leave happy. Ti Ti is absolutely the best and my manicure ALWAYS lasts twice as long as any other place I've tried. I now drive from AG to go to this new location because there is nothing else like it (Chilled champagne and The Office playing?!? Umm, yes please!) in this entire area. read more

Yayyyy I am so glad that I went back to have my services done over. Chanh is meticulous with his work. He cleaned up all the dried skin. Polished my fingeresand toes to perfection. I will definitely be booking with him again! I never had to mention or double check what he was doing . I could just tell that he was a professional at what he does. I was able to sit back enjoy a heated massage chair and watch tv on my phone while he went to work. If you have never tried him or are new to the shop book your next appointment with him, I promise you won't be disappointed. Thank you for letting your work be an extension of the value you have in the job you do!!! read more

My nail tech, Mai, is absolutely the best! I've been going to her for a year now, and every time I visit, she makes sure to give me the perfect manicure, paying attention to every little detail. Not only is she incredibly skilled, but her positive energy and friendly attitude make the whole experience so enjoyable. She always offers me a drink, which makes the pampering even better. She takes the time to listen to exactly what I want, and her creativity always shines through in the designs she suggests. I always leave feeling pampered, refreshed, and with nails that look flawless. I'm so lucky to have found such a talented and caring professional! read more

I had a mixed opinion about coming to this location. I've had really good and really bad experiences at the last one, but this location is close to my house so I figured why not. The inside is HUGE and flawless. It's so clean and well put together and the nail polish selection is GORGEOUS! I went to Ben and described what I wanted and he did it without fail, even constantly checking if I liked it the whole time. I don't write reviews at all but Ben deserves it! He's a perfectionist like myself who knows what he's doing. I will definitely be returning! Best experience at a nail salon I've ever had. read more
