I was debating writing this, I haven't had this bad of nails in a very long time. I had scheduled a…read moregelx and had to reschedule, I quickly agreed to the new date and didn't realize that it rescheduled to just gel, which I take accountability for not completely reading the full message. She worked around it and called her boss (next client) to see if she could come a little later. My baby was with me due to unforeseen circumstances and it was a little awkward. The owner showed her a Barbie doll and was helpful toward that situation. My nails she messed up on didn't put the bonding glue on a nail and continued. They seemed fine till I left and noticed 2 of the nails completely crooked and when messaged about it she said she adjusted the tip for nail bed and Is out of town and to file it cause that's what she would do. My other fingers were straight, never had a problem before. It was on a Friday and by Monday a couple of the nails were falling off and broken. I don't do much with my hands so for 80$ nails and 20$ tip, to fall off within less than 3 days isn't great. I have paid way less and they lasted longer and looked better and if not they would have me come back in and take off the nail and re-do it. A second one split 5 days in, they looked rushed and not put on correctly

I waited for so long to get in with Gabby...literally stalked her Instagram for over a year I think... when I saw she finally had room for a new client I pounced---and now that I've been seeing her for months I understand why she's in such high demand. Don't sleep on it when she says she has an opening! First of all she has been so kind and accommodating from the jump. Second, her work is impeccable EVERY SINGLE TIME. She uses top tier materials and aims for perfection without fail. I'm so glad I waited for her and got into a regular spot in her schedule. I see her every three weeks no matter what and my nails haven't ever come off before I see her again, and this is a huge deal for me bc I wash my hands a hundred times a day. Then there's the nail art--she is so up to date in the trends that things I think are new are old news to her lol. She can hand paint the coolest detailed art, too. Highly recommend this super sweet and talented woman!

They always have fun new seasonal colors and trends. 10/10 stars

Welcoming, Attention to detail and a must if your coming to Santa Cruz…read more This is unassuming salon is easy to miss but not easy to forget. I come here every time I fly in from Missouri. My occupation and rural lifestyle in Missouri leaves my feet and hands calloused to say the least. Quite frankly a farrier would be daunted by the task. This is always my first appointment when I come home to visit and embrace my Santa Cruz roots. I leave with soft skin, beautiful nails, completely relaxed muscles from the foot and hand massage feeling completely renewed and feminine again. The cost is less than an adequate experience back home. Try them and you will leave feeling rejuvenated.

Second time, the polish although what should have been dry over 2 hours- was still wet- which tells me they may have used gel instead of laquer. Really frustrating to have to go back again for a fix. The first time when color was wrong, I let it go-- this time, the nails are a mess and my date night - well my toes look terrible. Dissappointed.

I could have easily gone elsewhere in the week leading up and was definitely anxious about something going wrong with no time to pivot, but their photos looked so cute so I decided to risk it. I'm mostly upset that no one ever really followed up. I get that things happen but I feel so discarded by them. I actually cried. Dramatic I know but it was my birthday and I had to run to cvs to buy press ons last minute and try to figure out how to make those work. I just wish they tried to communicate even slightly before so I could pivot or if they tried to make things right. :(

I felt so comfortable when I walked in. I met my masseuse Lam, who brought me to my room. Another beautiful space! The spa music, electric fireplace, and pre-warmed table are so wonderful. The best part of this visit was Lam. I've had so much back pain lately, and she found each knot and ache and worked them over. I would say this massage is one of the best I have ever had. I floated out of the room! Lam is so friendly and professional. This will be the only place I go to whenever I come to Capitola. Thank you!

I booked my appointment in advance online and was seen at my scheduled time. The pedicure I received the other day was one of the best I've ever had, and I've had a lot! It's all the little details like the temperature of the water, the paraffin application, gentleness of the filing and the magical leg/foot massage that give a 5 star rating. What you'll find here are high end polishes to choose from, expert application of polish, as little or as much chatting as you like and feel like a valued patron not being rushed.
