Jessica is fantastic. Always pleasant, very professional and gives the best manicure and pedicure. And she is always on time! read more

The lady that was doing my pedicure cleaned a tool in the water while my feet were in the tub. She would not be quiet. I live in Montecito and will not be coming back here. No air conditioning and so much talking. NOT Relaxing. I will drive to Papillon next time. read more

I called needing a mani/pedi last minute while visiting from out of town. I came in after calling to make sure they could take me last minute. It is very pretty inside and the ambiance is very calming. The staff is friendly, however, I left with the pedicure only. I'm not sure what happened but I was hoping for a mani/pedi when I called and the mani was missed. I enjoyed the pedicure and they did well but I was hoping for more! read more

NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN. I always go to Tina's nail salon but it was a quick gel manicure we were getting. I searched up the nearest place in Montecito to get gel manicures. My sister and I came to get Manicures. We sat down and waited and 30 minutes later they received a call and told another customer to come in. She came in 2 minutes later and they sat her down right away. My sister told them we been waiting and they said we didn't. Also they seemed really rude and unwelcoming. read more

Lovely! Amazing as always, they accepted a same day appointment for me which was nice. Can't wait to come back! read more

Pandora Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Montecito, California

Pedicure was too aggressive and rough. They filed my skin along with my nails. They scrubbed my arches as hard as my callouses. The "massage" was just a repetitive rub down, again too rough, by a guy with no training in massage technique. I had to ask him to be more gentle several times. The rest of the employees were unpleasant. read more

Really amazing pedicure from this salon! Best one I've had, and it had been awhile since I'd had a pedicure so there was a lot of work to be done read more

I came here yesterday. I think that the service itself was good I had an appointment. I only waited 5 min I got a regular manicure and they finished fast. However there were air bubbles on my nails and when I asked them to fix the paint job they were not so happy. A little bit of an interesting personality but overall good Also a bit expensive but you are in Montecito so that's also a factor. read more

The BEST manicure EVER! Tien was meticulous - a true artist. When in town, this is the only place for me! She understood exactly what I wanted and she delivered! read more

The technicians are very good and so are the prices. My only complaint is when you call for appointment the phone is a cell phone and the owner/manager answers. She does not ask your name for the appointment and is usually working on a patron while she is talking to you so she is rushed. You tell her what services you want and she gives you a time. At times she is so busy and rushed she doesn't always get the services you want. Usually when you are ready to pay someone needs to leave the patron to take you payment. Just please get a person at the front desk to answer the phone, book the correct appointment and take your name and payment. Poor customer service but if the above is not a problem you will be happy with the end result. read more

Great pedicures! Kind staff, I called super last minute and they were able to fill me in. Will definitely return!

Was in the area, was in desperate need of a pedicure.... Thought it might be too expensive because it was in Monticeto, but it wasn't any more expensive than in my town! Was so Thankful they were able to do it. Jessica was a perfectionist and did the best pedicure I've ever had ! Thanks Pandora Nail Spa !!! read more

I won't be going back to Pandora. I have liked Jessica, the nail technician, and her skill and have looked forward to my visits. However, on my last visit when I told the woman handling my credit card to pay my bill to add a 15% tip another technician jumped up and started yelling at me very loudly so that all the customers were staring , saying I had to give 20%, "what's the matter with you, it's only $70" and shaming me in front of the whole salon. It was rude and uncalled for. I am sorry to lose Jessica but no customer should be treated like that. Don't go to Pandora. read more

Make an appointment. It says walk-ins welcome but that isn't the case. Very rushed.

Very patient with me and took the time to make sure I was satisfied. I got a mani-pedi and would definitely recommend this place! read more

Love it here! Owner is such a girl boss! This place is perfect for a beauty day with the girls, you can hang around the plaza and enjoy a nice mani pedi, massage, whatever you want! read more

I had an appointment with the owner for a mani and pedi. When I arrived she did not do my nails even though I specifically asked for her. She had me sit on pedicure chair with my feet in water and had another manicurist do my nails while she did someone else. I was not satisfied with my mani and pedi and will not go back. This is the second time this happened to me at Pandora. I paid $65 for regular mani and pedicure-top dollar for poor workmanship. read more

They are clean and VERY professional!! As good a pedicure as I have ever had. Big selection of services at a reasonable price. They are open on Sunday which is wonderful! read more

I loved my mani and pedi here. It is destination worthy. It was pricey but top notch quality.

Fan-freaking-tastic!!! I am beyond thrilled with my nails. Made a very last minute appointment and they graciously fit me in. Needed an acrylic fill, repair, and gel polish change. Man, they delivered. Quick, detailed, and thorough. I am so happy with my service, I will definitely be back. If you're looking for a place to get your nails did, definitely visit Pandora. Thank you, Pandora team!!! read more

Last minute manicure appt., very accommodating and detailed oriented. The lady helping me took her time and did a very good job.

My new favorite nail place. I called asking about a walk-in, and they recommended I make an appointment which next available was in 20 minutes. Perfect. They did my mani/pedi at the same time, were friendly, quick, and keep the place clean and relaxing. Due to covid everyone was wearing masks and clients are also required to. When a client would leave they cleaned off the entire chair and materials. Will be coming back here for sure. read more

Pandora Nail Spa - Gel mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Montecito, California

What can I say about Pandora Nail Spa? In my opinion it is hands-down the best nail salon in the Santa Barbara and Montecito area. I started going there a few months after their grand opening and I've been going ever since. All of their nail technicians are meticulous about their work and I've never had a bad experience there. They are professional, sweet and very accommodating of walk-ins (although I always make an appointment) and the ambiance is clean and calming. All of the ladies are always so nice and they always remember me (from the second time I went there onwards) even though sometimes I go quite a while between visits (I live part-time in NorCal). They are also very moderately priced, especially considering the location. Unlike nearly every other nail spa I've been to in California, the staff at Pandora keeps a friendly but quiet environment (some other salons get pretty loud with the staff yelling back and forth, but the ladies - and gentleman - at Pandora keep a soothing and relaxing atmosphere) and make you at ease to either do your own thing and enjoy a book or podcast or engage in conversation with them. I really do feel very welcome and well taken care of when I go there and honestly I don't go anywhere else. If I can't make it down to Montecito to see them I will trim and file my own nails and wait until I can make an appointment with the ladies at Pandora because no one deserves my business more than they do. You guys are the best! read more

My daughters and I have gone to Pandora since they opened and generally have been happy. But in this COVID environment, I can no longer support them. Though all the staff is masked, several patrons were not and there is no sign on the door about masks being required. For 30 minutes I sat next to a young unmasked girl, wrestling with whether or not to tell her mother I am in treatment for breast cancer. In the end I did not, feeling that the staff cared more about freedom of choice for their patrons. I won't return until/unless the pandemic is behind us. read more

So happy I found this place! I have come a handful of times now and have had most, if not all, of the lovely ladies do my nails. It's so rare to find a place where everyone does an equally great job, but they do here! I feel no need to request a certain person because they have all been wonderful. They do SUCH thorough job cleaning and shaping which, to me, is the most important part. The polish always turns out beautifully too. To top it off they use coconut oil to massage and it's just heavenly! Clean, professional, quiet, 5 stars! read more

As my sister and I approached the store I believe the manager and another worker looked at us inappropriately and started to speak in their native tongue. I told them to be professional and address me in a language I understand, English. She saw I was annoyed continued to speak in her language than somehow gained a nice personality and started to address me in a proper tone when she saw I wasn't having it. I booked an appointment for my sisters birthday to be relaxing not frustrating. I understand English isn't a universal language and completely respect peoples backgrounds but both verbal and non verbal cues are basic manners that should be practiced when running a business. Would not be going back or recommending to anyone. read more

My daughters and I received great manicures and pedicures. The ladies are friendly, and the prices are reasonable for the location.

Awesome workmanship on gel mani pedis! Ample parking. Call ahead to get an appointment so you don't end up waiting if you just show up.

My nails looks nice and the staff was nice, however I have never been to a nail salon that doesn't offer their clients disposable slippers after a pedicure. I came straight from work and this was a last minute decision to stop in so I didn't have any other shoes to put on after the pedicure. There was no offer of slippers and they were packing up to leave for the night so I had the choice to put on my shoes and ruin the pedicure or walk barefoot to my car. Needless to say the bottom of my feet are black. Won't be going back and it's a bummer because it's so close to home. read more
