I highly recommend Petunia at Petunias Place! She's the real deal, a City Different original, and an awesome delight! Petunia reminds me of me in some ways, our birthdays are a couple days close. She's an extremely independent spirit. She is highly professional, has her own private salon space, and it's really an all encompassing spa experience to and for me. Petunia uses specialty products that are more natural. So say good bye to gel lamps, and all that stuff that can harm Or weaken you nails. She has a treasure trove of countless colors, and options. I brought a color I love, on my second visit! She is experienced, and a masterful professional and artist! I found it tremendously easy and welcomed to be my authentic self, on both my appointments. She had me there for 3 full hours of pampering and smoothing down my unattended rough edges, with salt scrubs, and filing the ridges off my nails. She's lovely, attentive, kind, real, and fun. Her personality compliments mine, and she's a very dear being and a treasure. I work like she does, as a hypnotherapist, giving extra time and attention, valuing my clients and learning from them! She is full of love, and I am too, so we get along famously. If you just want to fade into the rafters and have a quick, uneventful boring manicure in a sea of foreign manicurists, go somewhere more generic. Yet if you too are a Santa Fe original, and comfortable and secure in yourself, and being honored, respected, and treated like the true queen that you are, try something new, and let this dear professional upshift you to the next level of true fine craft and care! I truly love Petunia like an old soul kin friend, and I've only been to her twice. You will feel so blessed and beautiful inside and out. What a glorious gift to myself of connection, renewal, and supreme self care! Local, tourist, creative, whomever you are, near or far, I highly recommend Petunia's Place for the works. Don't skimp on yourself! Get all the bells and whistles. Make it a spa day! You are worth it! Yay! Graced and Grateful! Thank you Petunia! I look marvelous, and am turning heads with my lovely mani pedi! read more

For a REAL pedicure, this is it. Petunia is 100% charming, professional, and thorough. The place is wonderfully quirky unlike the usual typically slick, icy salon with a million distracting tv's. It is not your average pedicure. Treat yourself. MV read more

Petunia's Place - Pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

See all

Yesterday afternoon, I had a manicure and pedicure at Petunia's Place. It is a bit difficult to find the location as it a bit off of Cerrillos but there is adequate parking and easy access. It is just down the road from the Whole Foods and across the street from Allsup's. The small salon doesn't allow for groups but the individual attention to detail and hydration is an oasis. Over many years, I have been to several sub-par nail salons in Santa Fe and this spot is far and away the best I have experienced. It is a bit difficult to get an appointment--no walk-ins and because it small and good, they fill up quickly. But the service is excellent. She takes her time, is methodical, and she attends to the details. The salon is clean and hygienic and she focuses on each of your digits and nails to ensure that the shape is correct, the cuticles are clean and the polish is not merging into your cuticles. She carefully inspects each finger or toe. The massages and oils are quite nice as well. She is pleasant, friendly, and positive in a high desert, new age kind of way. It will fit your Santa Fe experience and expectations. I will be back and plan to recommend this spot to family and friends in Santa Fe. read more

Petunia's Place - Great pedicure! - Nail Salons Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

What an amazing appointment with Petunia last week. My new daughter-in-law and I were visiting Santa Fe for a few days and I decided to gift her a mani/pedi. Not knowing any nail salons in the area, I found Petunia through Yelp. We were so happy with our decision. Petunia was not only highly skilled in her profession but was great to talk with as she performed her magic. The results were fantastic and my DIL couldn't have been happier. As someone who gets a manicure weekly from a high-end salon I can confidently say Petunia is at the top of the scale when it comes to creating nails that not only look good but provide the client with a great experience. read more

I had a pedicure w Petunia today. I have never had such a terrific pedicure. I had ingrown toenails and calluses on my feet. The ingrown toenails are gone and I'm walking with a great deal of comfort now. Petunia is so very outgoing - I felt as thought I have known her for years. Thank you, Petunia. You are the best.

Perfect place to relax and be pampered!!! The suit is so quiet and calming, you are the only one in the room getting 100% attention from Petunia! Petunia is GREAT!! Her massages are done at every step of the pedicure, it is like getting a two hour foot/leg massage, just amazing!! Thank you, Petunia, I will be back!!! read more

Highly recommend Petunia for manicure and pedicures!!! The entire experience was relaxing and so rejuvenating! Make and appointment now! read more

I moved to Santa Fe in 2017 and found Petunia. She gives the best mani and pedis that I have ever had. This is a lot coming from someone who lived on the San Francisco peninsula and Chicago for the previous 30 years. Her pedicures get all my dead skin off and are not for the faint of heart. She is strong! Because of her long time residency, she has great incites into Santa Fe as well; I pick her brain regularly. Forget the Debbi-downer who wrote the nasty review. It makes no sense. read more

It was very weird and awkward and I would not recommend this salon to anyone. I rate with 1 star because of unprofessionalism and weird personality and do not recommend this place and person to anyone. 1. First of all, Petunia was late. I arrived timely, the door was closed, and I was walking around the building wondering whether any other door is opened and whether the owner is out there. She eventually arrived about 10-12 minutes late with the Starbucks things in her hands, apparently stopping by at Starbucks, knowing and OK'ing being late for my appointment. 2. The room was very cluttered and filled with personal belongings. (Yes, I am picky when it comes to do any cosmetic procedure, and expect and appreciate clean, fresh, and stylishly furnished professional looking place). But this place looked like a mixture of the someone's cluttered house with the outdated nail salon. Yikes!! 3. To my surprise, she could offer only regular pedi, explaining that all other techniques are "not healthy" and she does not support other than regular techniques because she is "pursuing healthy life style". What??? 4. After all, she tried to convince me very hard to do hot wraps and massage, and I agreed for the massage alone, and immediately regretted - again, she did it so awkwardly, closing her eyes and moving her body from side to side, like she is doing some mantra or meditating or whatever. It looked crazy! 5. By the way, I was charged $$$ for regular pedi and 5 min massage (I could not stand it any longer). Please note, the appointment was about 1 year ago, so, perhaps, she improved since that time, I do not know, and really do not want to know. read more

BEST pedicure ever! Petunia is a MASTER in pedicures. She used top quality products and 23 years of experience to give me the best pedicure I have ever had. Her kindness towards my dog was very appreciated. read more

She's so much fun! She takes her time and does a fabulous job. She's got strong hands and great attention to detail. My feet look beautiful! I should have taken a before and after. She's moved but her number is still the same, still close to the plaza. read more

Petunia"s place is an awesome establishment! My mom and I got pedicures from Petunia for Christmas and she was sweet and kind and funny. Took an ingrown toenail off of my mom's foot perfectly! We went for a 4:00 appointment on a Saturday and Petunia immediately welcomed us. She took my mom for a pedicure first and then I was sitting in the waiting room waiting for it to be my turn and she invited me to come sit with them. My mom loved her pedicure job by Petunia and then while my mom"s toenails dried Petunia took me up to the chair for a pedicure and she did a wonderful job with my pedicure too! Her buffs and foot scrubs last a long time! My toenails just recently grew back. I would highly recommend Petunias place! And men don't be afraid to go in for a pedicure. We have to take care of our feet too just like the ladies! read more

Very bad experience tonight. Petunia seemed nice - but left me in huge pickle tonight while having a manicure & pedicure. I told Petunia I had a cracked a acrylic big toenail when I booked my appointment 4 days ago. She asked that I take the polish off to see the damage. I complied - she saw that I cut the acrylic at an angle before she started my pedicure. She was filing really aggressively - I told she my nail was hurting it she continued and broke the acrylic below the cuticle. She threw her hands in the air and told me to go get more acrylic. This is 6:30 PM and I have 2 days of big appointments which she knew about. She basically had a temper tantrum after she damaged my big toe. I have a mess thanks to trusting her - big mistake on my part... She continued to NOT accept any responsibility and said she was not finishing the pedicure. It is easy to be nice when all is going well. You really see a person's character when they can't or won't finish a job. I told her that her business integrity was not good. She repeated she had not done anything wrong. She apologized for breaking my nail but offered no resolution. VERY POOR CHARACTER IN MY OPINION! Hopefully Nothing goes wrong if you go to her for a nail services -because she will not take care of you. read more

I just moved here from New York and I have to say, she is absolutely amazing! Best pedicure I've had in my life. Worth every penny! I'd recommend her to everyone! super sweet and so down to earth as well! I'm never going anywhere else! read more

I have tried multiple times to write the review that would adequately express my fury at the horrible experience I had at Petunia's. When you read this please, bear in mind I'm actually showing restraint. I was impressed by her glowing reviews here and so eagerly booked a pedi. The multiple $$$$ gave me advance warning that she would be spendy -- on par with the most exclusive spas in town. $65 for a pedi, which is the first thing she wanted me to know, along with the fact she doesn't take credit cards, which she will informed me without lifting her eyes from her cell phone. When I made the appointment I told her that I'm handicapped, can't walk distances and need convenient parking. She assured me that there is a handicapped spot right at her front door and there is plenty of other parking in the large lot. When I got there, the parking lot was full and the handicapped spot was occupied by a non-handicapped car. "No one has parking in Santa Fe," she shrugged, again not looking up from her phone. She told me to "park behind that silver car over there." I obeyed, figuring it was a neighborly arrangement. Come to find out, it's not. Luckily the driver caught me while I was still in my car. I don't know what would have happened had he found himself blocked with my feet in warm, sudsy water, or with wet polish on my toe nails. Things went from bad to worse from there. By the time I very painfully climbed up to the pedi chair (the tub, by the way, bone dry and not lined), she decided that she didn't like MY attitude and kicked me out. She stood in her open doorway and hollered at me as I painfully and very slowly walked to my car (which I had finally parked). Not exactly what anyone would call a high end Santa Fe spa experience. If you decide to believe these other reviews and ignore mine, that's your prerogative. Just bear a few things in mind: 1. You can get an actual world-class spa pedi experience for the same amount of money. Elsewhere. 2. Wear sturdy walking shoes because parking is a roll of the dice. 3. Bring cash (or check) 4. Come either high or in a deep level of Santa Fe detachment, because she considers it YOUR job to keep her frame of mind just so. Have back-up plans for that period of time. read more

In Santa Fe for the weekend and found Petunia's Place. She did a fabulous job on my nails. Great personal service. Would love to revisit next time I'm in town!! read more

I loved everything about my time at Petunia's place. Her kind heart and fun gab were so perfect. If you're in town, looking to get pampered and want to meet a really wonderful person... come here! read more

Another delightful experience for my husband and I. BACK AGAIN from last year. The "fellowship" and engaging conversations were a blessing. We were once again meant to feel at home...although it is 23 below where our home is! Her attention to detail and my husbands specific needs are truly appreciated. It is like we are walking on clouds when we leave. We highly recommend this salon, especially to those from the colder climates. Oh ya, please closely follow her tips on great dining experiences!! If ya want to...also ask her about High School Wrestling. #Minnesota#snow n' cold escapees..... read more

I received the best manicure and pedicure I have ever had from Petunia. Her salon, Petunia's Place, is an oasis of hydration, care and relaxation in the high desert of Santa Fe. I plan on scheduling with Petunia whenever I return to town. Excellent! Carol A. Aptos, CA. read more

I've been Petunia's client for 4 or 5 years and highly recommend her. She spends at least twice the time that other salons do on your nails. As a sole practitioner she doesn't rush, adhere to a strict time frame or to set product quantities - if your feet need more exfoliation she'll spend the time and energy; if you need extra moisturizing or even a dip in wax, she provides it. She uses quality products for everything. Plus she is fun and friendly! You will instantly become her friend, not just another client. read more

Petunia's Place - Petunia outside of her salon. - Nail Salons Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Petunia is awesome! Personality positivity plus! Her pedicures last a month. She has great attention to detail. Thanks Petunia!!

I saw all the good reviews and figured I'd try this place out as I'm new to the area. But I will never be back to this place. She was so rude, I felt like I was being talked down to the entire time. 0/10 recommend. read more

Petunia is amazing! She always does such a great job! She takes her time and it always turns out perfect! Thank you Petunia! I'll be back like always! read more

Petunia was amazing! She spent a little over an hour on my manicure...probably 2/3s of that time using salt scrub and lotions on my poor dry hands and doing an amazing massage from elbow down to fingers. She doesn't cut cuticles unless one is hanging/ragged, which I really appreciated! You are the only customer in the salon (she books strictly by appt) so you have all her attention. She's friendly and funny and an all around joy to spend an hour with. She gave this new transplant to Santa Fe lots of ideas for restaurants to try and day trips to make. And of course my nails and hands look lovely after her attentive care! Looking forward to having her work on my neglected feet! read more

Hands down, the best manicure and pedicure I've ever had! Petunia is an incredible professional.

Very good customer service, excellent technical skills, a clean and comfortable setting, and best of all, fun! Besides being considerate, polite, and impeccably professional, Petunia is also delightful and quite funny. She appears to have appropriate levels of self-esteem, and probably would not put up with rude clients -- but I've never wanted to be a rude client! For my first appointment, I took a New Yorker along in case I needed something to read, but she kept me entertained and we chatted like old friends the entire time on my first visit. My magazine sat untouched! You have her full attention, as there is only one client at a time. She allows plenty of time per appointment. There is no rushing, so you can really relax in her chair and enjoy the quality experience. My rough heels were smoothed beautifully, and my cuticles and nails turned out beautifully as well. I will definitely be a steady customer! Remember to call ahead, since she works by appointment only, no walk-ins. One reviewer described this salon as a "tourist trap," but that is impossible since you need to make an appointment and she is tucked into an out-of-the way little location near downtown. read more

Petunia is a vivacious local who will keep you laughing while pampering you & making your feet look FABULOUS! BEST PEDI EVER! This is the opposite of a pedi factory, with a long row of chairs where no one speaks English (I always worry about them, don't you?). Petunia's Place is a single chair salon where it is all about YOU. Treat yourself! read more

I am visiting and needed a manicure. Petunia's Place readily found a time. She may have provided the best manicure I've ever had. The Salon is hard to find, especially for out-of-towners like me, but Petunia's Place is worth the effort. read more

My daughter and I first discovered Petunia a decade (or more) ago, when her salon was in its original address, closer to the Plaza. If we didn't live 12 hours away, we would absolutely return twice a month. Petunia gave us the most extraordinary, caring, professional manicures and pedicures we've ever experienced. Due to limited travel times, I've only been able to return to Petunia's six times -- always feeling welcomed and pampered. Petunia devotes her full attention to her clients; not only are her mani/pedicures a work of art, she also tells great stories and makes us feel as if we are family. I'm looking forward to having the complete mani/pedicure treatment with Petunia again in July. read more

Nice private salon with none of the chemical smells. Petunia was super sweet and the mani/pedi looks great. Pricing is reasonable, would definitely go back! read more

Petunia is hands down the best manicurist/pedicurist in New Mexico! I have been a client for quite a few years and she is caring, gentle and therapeutic when doing her craft. She is very knowledgable and makes great suggestions when asked for her opinion. I think maybe the 2 negative reviewers were having bad days when they arrived. Petunia is higher than some but "you get what you pay for" and she's worth it! read more

I am visiting here from MD and was looking for a good, thorough mani/pedi to restore my tired self. I received a very warm welcome in a clean, sunny salon and a really great mani/pedi service that looked and felt great. I received a really great massage along with good foot and nail care. As we are visiting and only have one rental car, my husband was waiting for me at another place after the mani/pedi and Petunia's daughter offered to drive me there. They went above and beyond offering great customer service. I am sad I don't live here and can't use her service more often. read more

Without a doubt the best pedicure I have ever gotten.. Don't hate me but I told her she needed to raise her prices. $65 for a 2 hour pedicure.. That is a steal. read more

I had a wonderful mani-pedi from Petunia today! Best I have ever had in Santa Fe actually. She cleaned and scrubbed and perfected my nails to a degree way above what I have received in other nail salons. I also enjoyed Petunia's entertaining, kind, and warm personality. It was fun! Thanks Petunia...I will be back soon! read more

The location makes this a "tourist trap". Close to the Plaza and lots of walkers. I tried Petunia's based on the Yelp reviews. The mani/pedi was not different than many other good shops in Santa Fe. We have lots of choices. I thought Petunia to be a bit condescending, could not work on a broken acrylic nail and very pricey. I do not have Martha's courage (thank you) for speaking up. I always wonder when all of the reviews are five star, if they are legitimate. read more

Best Pedi Ever!! Petunia relaxes you with a light message, takes her time, uses quality products, while providing a relaxing experience. My feet were looking rough and afterwards I was amazed by how smooth and elegant my feet look now. Thank you Petunia for an awesome experience. To all the ladies seeking a top notch pedi you must see Petunia. read more

Petunia's is the best pedicure, foot treatment ever. I have been going for 14 years now. Never have been disappointed - after all what true therapy is 1.5 hours And results in a great, long-lasting polish. Really, you deserve this. read more

Been a standing client of Petunia's for going on 3 years now. I love this woman, she's kind, generous, caring and her commitment to excellence and friendly customer service is above and beyond any other nail shop in Santa Fe. read more

I took my mom for a manicure and I well definitely be bringing her back for a pedicure. Petunia not only made her feel like family but also was very welcoming and took her time. If you are looking for relaxation and not the normal in and out, this is the place. The salon is very intimate and clean. My mom absolutely loved her mani, she has RA and said Petunia understood her condition and worked with her. I understand why it is by appointment only, well worth it, money spent well. Highly recommended Petunia, she will not disappoint. Book in advance :). read more
