I should have known when I walked in on a Friday and the place was empty, that it was no good. All I wanted was a manicure with a polish change. The guy took my old polish off, when he did I pointed out a short nail, and told him that I had a nail break this week, but please don't cut my nails to match that nail, leave the rest long. He nodded, picked up the nail clippers and proceeded to cut all my nails on my right hand all the way down. When I said something about it he got up and had a woman take over, without even apologizing. She sat down and took over, when I said that I was upset that he had cut all my nails back right after me asking him not to, she rolled her eyes at me and said " they'll grow back" I got up right then, they still made me pay full price, even though they royally messed up my nails, I never got a manicure, & never got any polish. Horrible place. Avoid at all costs. Awful read more

I booked an appointment for a deluxe pedicure and nail fill with gel 2 weeks in advance for opening because I hate waiting. I arrived at 8:55 for a 9:00 appointment and was told I'd have to wait 15 minutes. There were 4 other people ahead of me and 3 of them had just walked in off the street. Poor business practice. I won't return here and I really liked their service the last time I was here which was why I booked ahead to return. read more

I asked for a French Mani/Pedicure. I had 2 people working with me at the same time. The pedicure was relaxing. The only thing I didn't like were the spots and discolorations on my nails. Honestly I have never seen this before I was told it was under my nail and it would grow out and you just cut it off. It wasn't attractive and was covered up my a clear pink polish. The French manicure was done quickly and didn't include any maintenance of my nails, when I ask about my cuticles when I ask about this, I was told this is not part of the acrylic French nails it would be extra. What kind of manicure is this? It seems each service has limits. I also read prior reviews and see what they mean about the phone calls, stopping in the middle of your service, cleanliness of the business and questioning of their tools being sanitary. Felt rushed. read more

Never again. I have grown up in Grover beach right down the street giving this place chance after chance to make me love them like I did once, but literally every time I go there something goes wrong. I went back to get two nails fixed and a boy named "Vick?" (Nina did them originally) and he was TERRIBLE not only can he not do nails but he has the worse customer service out of all of them(and that says a lot because none of them are nice at all) He didn't try at all, rushed through, was rude the whole time, and when I expressed that I would like him to make any adjustment he would tell me no & that is how he does nails and if I didn't like them then I should just wait for Nina to come back, so I did. I was livid. Then I call back two hours later -the time when he told me she would be in- and this Vick guy answers again and I asked if she was there yet (he knew who he was talking to) and HE LITERALLY HUNG UP ON ME. Livid was an understatement at this point. I called right back and Nina answered and told me to come in and when I did she was overly nice to me. Nice ole me is of course not rude (I literally should've said something to him and I regret it now so this is the only place I can tell people not to go here ever) and I killed her with kindness and she did fine and I EVEN TIPPED HER but she said it was free and I still tipped her. So then I broke ANOTHER NAIL and I'm like ugh I have to go back to this damn place, and this time I call and tell her I'm coming, I wait, she (Nina) was rude and rushing through and then she's rushing so much she literally cut the side of my finger cause she was filing my nail so fast... yes I do love and care about how my nails look, and I wouldn't have read this whole thing if you didn't care. So do us all a favor and never ever go to princess nails. And yes these are actual pictures from both these examples given -side note: I've never been this mad over nails before to a point where I go on yelp, or take pictures of them. read more

5 days after a $40 (not including tip) gel pedicure. Poor quality, would have lasted longer if I had just painted them myself. read more

Had an appointment but they were closed! No call or txt to notify. Apparently have bern closed off and on. Will not bother again.

Lin and Nina are the only people I want doing my acrylic nails for the rest of my life. I was just there yesterday for a delightful pedi, a nail transformation, and to get my eyebrows waxed. The girl who did my pedi was fantastic. Lin took my nails from square pink, to almond and metallic in no time. Nina got all my stray eyebrow hairs with one attempt at waxing! I used to want to keep PN&S a secret for myself, but I am SO impressed with my nails this fill, I HAD to let y'all know you're all sleeping' on my man Lin read more

Called one day before to see if they had any openings for two people the next morning to get a full acrylic set and they fit my cousin & I in for the next morning no problem! We both got our nails done by Nina and I am definitely going to be coming back to Nina to get all of my next sets. Even though she did the both of our nails at the same time she did it in a very time efficient manner without rushing. She still took enough time on each of our nails to make sure they came out good. We both absolutely loved our nails and she gave us exactly what we asked for. Really happy to have found my new nail girl!! read more

I would have given them 4 stars but after thinking on it they seriously over charged us. I went with my parents we did 2 x 2s and 1 x 1...$35x2 + $25 does not equal $125... They were nice and friendly. Got us in quickly... But the over charging kind of lisses me off. read more

This isn't gonna be good y'all. Currently sitting here with my party of six who had pedicure reservations at 10am. First they tried to sit us all separately and only three techs were available to service us! The pedicure service is just meh. There are three service levels to choose from and the regular pedicure always includes a callous heel rub and I received 4 runs of the heel...I was like huh? The guy proceeded to argue with me and said I should purchase the next level up because the $25 did not include heel service...it does, read the menu dude. I believe my tech tried to make it up by giving me a great foot rub, but honestly that's not why I get pedicures. My cousin is sitting next to me and keeps getting scolded by a girl who is named after a season. Whatever, we won't be back. Fun y thing is, I think the manager is just sitting behind the reception area taking it all on. He should probably get off his arse and make things right. 1. Don't come here if you have a large party 2. If you do, Ask if there will be enough techs 3. I wish I had read the yelp reviews read more

Outstanding pedi by Jady. I had not been here before and have been trying different nail salons but haven't been overly impressed UNTIL today! I stopped in on a Sunday at 11:30 am with no appointment and was greeted by a very friendly smile and welcome. They were happy to do a pedi and mani right away. Finally I have found a place to patronize! read more

Princess Nails & Spa - Great pedicure by Jady. - Nail Salons Near Me - Grover Beach, California

This was my first time coming to Princess Nails and I had the best experience! I was a walk in and they were pretty slow since it was 4pm on a Wednesday, so I was able to sit right down. I heard Vic was amazing so I requested him to do my nails. I got a fill and decided to get gel instead of regular polish because I'm pretty rough on my nails. I told him I wanted to keep the length but I wanted them as square as he could get them. Usually when I ask for square, they do closer to squoval but Vic did an awesome job and gave me exactly what I wanted. I'm very happy with how my nails came out and I will definitely be back for my next fill! read more

I asked for a basic pedicure and manicure...she filed my nails, used a cuticle trimmer, barely buffed the nail...a tiny amount ofoil rubbed into feet and hands. Nail polish, and that's it. No massage, no cleaning under nails, didn't push cuticles back, really so basic. The workers were polite but not friendly, and one gal swept up dirt all around me. $40 read more

I do not recommend this place. Got a pedicure for me birthday and it not enjoyable whatsoever. Worst part was that the water was not even lukewarm.... no exaggeration! I even told her it wasn't warm and she mumbled some excuse. She zipped thru the foot mask and massage in record time. She did a good job of painting my nails. Also, they only take cash which seems to be common since the pandemic. read more

Mom and daughter were happy my man hardly did a thing and nail polish was thick and chipped next day.

I don't usually write these yelp reviews- although I read them all the time BUT- DO NOT GO TO THIS SALAON. I would never ever go back there. Today I got the worst manicure in my life. I went in to have my nails filled for a wedding I am and the guy (he was young and a total jerk) rushed through doing them. I had to ask him to go back and do things and he gave me an attitude. He didn't clean my nails, push my cuticles down or paint them the way I wanted them to be painted. To top it off he argued about using top coat. Would never go back there! I would pay more for a manicure that actually looked good. Thankfully I am going to be able to go to another salon before Saturday to fix what these guys did at Princess nails. read more

Very impressed. Went for mani/pedi with my mom (it was her first time) and we had a great experience. Victor is the man to have - he's a crack-up and downright good at what he does (plus, he calls everyone "Honey"). Like the reviews mentioned before me, the massaging chairs are divine! These chairs do it all - including give you a good goose but I've got not complaints. Mani/pedi are both standard issue although I opted for the extra paraffin wax/callous remover/sugar scrub on the feet/legs for the extra $10. I haven't had a good pedi in awhile so it was well worth it. At the end, it came out to $87 for my mom and myself... Victor gave us an unprompted $3 discount because it was my mom's first time :) Facilities and tools appeared very clean, plenty of magazines, color color selection, and again massage chairs to die for. Victor also said that if you can get a group of at least 5 people together, he'll put on a private party for you closing down the shop with the salon providing wine. You can bring your own food/beer and just hang out. There's no party charge... just pay for your specific service. Sounds like a fun especially if you've got a bridal shower or another girlie event. Just call him and give him a few days notice. Oh also, I made my appt for a Sunday - they're open then but they really prefer you to call ahead for an appt since they get really booked up. Overall, I love Princess Nails and I WILL be back (with probably all my female friends and relatives!). read more

These guys do a fantastic job! Best pedicures ever! Their acrylics always lasted forever on me, which is really saying something because as a dog groomer at the time, I was very hard on my hands! The owner is hilarious! He will laugh and joke with everyone, and I've noticed that most of his clients ask for him by name. He is loud, but I have never once seen him be rude to anyone! (And, for the record, I'm white... and he's just as nice to me as anyone else.) I really can't believe anyone would accuse him of being racist... Maybe learn to lighten up a little? =/ Also, their freehand nail art is incredible. Every time I have them done, people comment on them. Simply beautiful. Did I mention that their pedicures are amazing? Ok, good. Get the #3. The paraffin treatment is soooooooo goooooooood.... EDIT: I just noticed that they're rated as "Pricey"... I have to disagree. While I don't remember exactly what I paid here, I do specifically remember thinking to myself that it was very reasonable. If you wanna go somewhere where your acrylic lifts within a week and your pedicure is over in 5 minutes, you can probably find a cheaper place... read more

Not sure why he's there..doesn't talk......and when he does talk, he's ordering you to do something. Normally a pedicure would consist of soaking the feet for while......didn't happen......the place was empty. I felt rushed......Sad that I didn't feel welcomed read more

I read all the reviews before I went in. I left feeling scammed. 1-They quoted me 28 for acrylic white tips on the phone. When it came time to pay it was 36. They told me it was extra for glitter acrylic and pink acrylic. She offered, and didn't tell me it was extra. I was pissed! 2- The lady had a huge wart on her hand, ew! 3-The place was pretty ghetto inside. There is a treadmill in there...random.. Other than those things, she was fast, and they nails came out pretty good. I just hate being told one thing and given another! Grr! I bet there are better places around here. read more

I like this nail salon because the prices are very straight forward and they give u a menu style card to see the breakdown and deals. I like their massaging pedicure bath chairs because they are strong and easy to use. The staff is always friendly whatever time of day I go in. The atmoshphere is lovely. You may day then why did u not give 5 stars? They have a new counter by the front door for the staff to make tea and eat. Its awkward to walk in and see a half eaten platw of food out and it seems a little odd. Its a spacious building they have room for a breakroom in back if they rearranged a bit or put a partition up. U dont go into a store and see the employees space for eating in the business area lol. read more

I have been here twice (I'm from out of town.. if I lived here I'd go here more). The first time I got a full set and a pedi, the second time just a pedi and eyebrow waxing. This place is clean and they are pretty friendly and the pedicures are awesome. My toes looked like I had just got them done for like 2-3 weeks after the fact. The full set was good too. The eyebrow waxing was so-so, I've had better. read more

This is the second time I have been here. The first time was great, but today not so much. Today I had Summer a young gal but she was rough and rushed through everything. I come to get pedicures to relax and have beautiful toes but today I am sore from a rough quick massage and jabbing the instruments in my toes. It was busy but I am a customer to and deserve the same attention regardless of how busy it is. I give 2 stars because the first time was great. Not sure if I will. Returned, today with my son and Yvonne and CoCo did a wonderful job. Very gentle and relaxing. read more

Stopped in for a full set while on vacation and my husband wanted a pedicure. First of all the woman who did my fill was REALLY good. Hand shaping the nails so that their was very minimal filing needed. I was really happy with the results. My husband said it was the best pedicure he had in a long time. They spent alot of time on the massage and the for 25.00 he was thrilled. I would definitely go back. Shoot I wish I live close enough to make this my main salon. read more

Awful service. We were ignored for 35 minutes and when we finally got acknowledged, they took two clients that came in AFTER us. When we left for being ignored one of the ladies said, "Oh, they haven't been helped yet and they're leaving." Another responded, "That's okay." Not how to run a business, nor is it a way to keep clients. read more

my husband and i went for pedicures. we did 2 luxury pedicures and really enjoyed them! we will definitely go back!!

Wanted to try out a new place. Worse gel french manicure I've EVER had. Cut my nails crooked and painted on white of french manicure wobbly. Maybe I'm just used to a precision manicure! Going back to my old salon which has better prices and always perfection! Also, quoted me a much lower price over the phone. I told them french gel manicure and pedicure. They told me $35. Ended up being $60. They said it was $35 for regular mani-pedi but I was clear on the phone that I wanted gel french. Big difference especially for the poor job I received. Also, there was a bunch of water on the floor next to my pedicure chair. They moved my shoes around after I put them where it was dry and got my shoes wet. Gross. :( Pedicure was better, though there is a big bubble and smudge on my big toe nail. read more

Such a great place! They finished my nails so quickly- a full set and gell polish in a half an hour flat. This was by far the fastest manicure that i have ever had- my usual place takes usually abour an hour and a half to two hours. I am also super picky about my nails because i like them super short and natural looking and i have NEVER been satisfied with my nails before. Every place i go to makes my nails too long or puts them in some very unnatural shape even though i repeatedly tell them what i want. At Princess Nails all i had to do was mentions what i was looking for and she just made the nails exactly how i wanted, even helping me decide on a color. I would definitely recommend this place!! read more

I absolutely love the work of the nail technicians here. Extremely professional and my gels stay nice for almost 2 weeks . I also like the atmosphere along with the fact that they don't chat too much . they also have every shade of purple that I could imagine read more

I got the #3 pedicure which was the most expensive at $35. I felt like they rushed and I didn't get what I paid for or expected. The color I chose was a pastel that needed a few coats. I didn't get the color I wanted because she only gave me two coats. Three coats would have done the trick. Also missed some of the sides of my nails. It wasn't the worst experience ever, but I'll never go there again. read more

I had a luxury manicure on Sunday, early afternoon. The young lady was very nice. I gave her a $5 tip and paid $25 for the luxury manicure. it is Tuesday and I had a leisurely day yesterday and today after my shower I did one load of laundry in the washer, dryer the clothing, and folded the one load. My nail polish is coming off 4 fingers and both thumbs. It is unfortunate. This should not happen! If I scrubbed the floor or hand washed my car maybe.... but not after 1.5 days! I do not recommend nor will I return to Princess Nails in Grover Beach! read more

Been back a few times and I really like this place now. The powder dip nails last sooo long and they are all friendly.

Summer is my go to girl for pedicures...the shop is always shiny clean and the girls are friendly. Its the best place in the county to go for a relaxing manicure or pedicure! read more

Went in for a pedicure. My first time at Princess Nail & Spa. I was impressed when walking in, much larger than expected and decorated nicely. The pedicure started out ok, I was the only one in the shop at the time. Then two people walked in and the girl who was doing my pedicure stopped and started helping the other person! Didn't say a word to me. Finally someone else came over and started polishing my toe nails. No bottoms coat, just the polish and NO top coat......and forget about the leg message, which I look forward to. I was in and out in less than 30 min!! Will not go back again! read more

Best massage chairs EVER.. hands down! They really take their time on the pedicures and they last forever. I live literally two blocks away and the place doesn't look spectacular from the outside so I never bothered going in, but that was my mistake because it's wonderful. I was going to Vegas and got a full set and pedi... they hooked me up with some awesome designs on the full set to match my "going-out" shoes and I totally had way too man compliments on my trip. I've been back many times since then. One word of advice though, get extra top coat on the full set because after about 4 days mine started peeling. (It was probably due to the massive amount of art though) :) read more

There is something wrong with the gel nail polish or the gel lights that they use. I have gone back to this salon several time to give them another chance to make my nails right. However, my gel nail polish chipped within three days every time. I have been getting gel nails for many years. I have never had this problem before. Just a word to the wise. read more

We were looking for a nail salon at last minute while we were visiting the area for the weekend. They were very friendly here , took us without an appt even though they were very busy and our nails were done beautifully. Will definitely return when back in the area. read more

I came in for a pedi. My complete pedi was done in less than 10. The manicurist was in a hurry to get on her phones. The manicurist pulled out an implement bag that had already been opened and a nail file that had already been used. Next time I will look elsewhere read more

Pretty good service. They stayed open late, which was cool. My nails look good which is most important. Thanks princess!
