I was recommended Q-nails by a friend. She has had her nail done by Tiffany several times and they were always absolutely beautiful, Thin and shaped like a natural nail. I called to make an appointment with Tiffany. I told the guy on the phone I wanted Tiffany to do my nails he said yah yah! Before I hung up I wanted to confirm I would be seeing Tiffany? he said "I give you a good person" I said no I want Tiffany. He then said OK! I felt like he was trying to give to any Nail tech. It was strange. Went to appointment on 5/23/21 Tiffany did do my nails and they were beautiful!! trying to add photo. I have been to many nail salons, this was the first time my nails looked really good when I was ready to walk out. On 5/27/21 I called to make an appointment for my daughter asked to please make it with Tiffany. The guy first said ok, see you. So, I again said this is with Tiffany correct? His reply was "Tiffany does not work here anymore!" I stupidly asked, well to a new salon? his reply was no just moved. So disappointed! If you happen to know where Tiffany is doing nails please post. read more

Q - Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Santa Maria, California

*Beware* I feel obligated to share my experience after my 2nd visit to this place. Both times I have ended up with infections under my thumbs, my left last time and my right this time. This is uncommon for me as this normally does not happen when I've been to other places. I wasn't sure if the first one was in fact from this salon at first but now I'm realizing it 100% was because this place does not provide their nail technicians with new / sterilized (in-package) individual use tools like nail files and cuticle clippers. You know you're in a clean salon when you see them open the clear sealed packages in front of you and take the tools out. I looked around for these in their carts and on the counters last time (because I've seen other salons operate this way) and didn't see any, I then realized they are simply reusing their tools on everyone hence the bacteria sharing. Even though there is a barbicide / disinfectant (dark blue) solution Tupperware over by the sinks, I didn't witness any of them using it although one tech looked to be rinsing her tools off in the sink. I'm disappointed and now in pain for time 2nd time in 2 months and therefore I can never go back. Management, please do better for your techs and your clients. Quality nail salons all use brand new nail tools on every customer and I know this is true because I've seen it. The high cost of your nails services should afford this for the customer every single time. Be forewarned about this place if sanitary salons are a priority for you like they are for me. Charging a premium but you're not getting the best quality when it comes to their tools. To overstate, I do not get painful sores normally nor from anywhere else. 2 stars as they are nice enough, listen, their polish choices and ambiance are decent. read more

Q - Nails - Infection under my right thumbnail within a few days of appointment. - Nail Salons Near Me - Santa Maria, California

Was back in town and had to go back to Q Nails. I found out Helen is on Vacation, I was introduced to Tiffany and I was pleased with her service and work. She did a great job shaping my nails. I am a very happy customer, I had the chrome nails done and pedicure. On my last post, I mentioned the orange scrub was $1 extra, but it was now $5. I enjoyed it but next time will pass on the extra $5 charge. I definitely will be back. read more

I would give 0 stars if possible. Avoid this place if you want a detailed mani pedi and good customer service! They are constantly asking to upgrade to gel. I got a gel pedicure and regular full set. Hurried job, rude money-hungry tech Helen. $100 for basics and left with uneven, horrible nails. They were good when they first opened but now all they want is the $$$. I don't mind paying for good quality and experience, THAT YOU WILL NOT FIND HERE! Update, 2 chipped nails and an ingrown toenail the very next day. Sloppy hurried and awful salon! read more

My mom and I needed manicures and pedicures after a stressful week. We were pleasantly surprised at how nice Q-Nails was! It is chic and comfortable. They offered us water or soft drinks and gave us a lot of attention. We both got beautiful pedicures that are festive for the season and I got gel nails on my hands. The warm orange (real orange!) massage on our legs was very nice along with the warm towels and lotions that they used. My mom had special treatment from the owner and the conversation was good all aroHelen did a great job on the gel manicure and assured me that this salon has a technique that won't damage my nails when they remove the gel polish. We can't wait to return! Thanks Yelp for the recommendation! Update: we still give Q Nails 5 stars after returning several times. Michael, Helen and Mia have all treated us very well and we plan to keep returning! read more

Such a great experience. I had a regular pedicure and a manicure fill with gel. Helen was my technician. Pedicure was okay, very fast but nails look good. Manicure was amazing. My technician went above and beyond without me asking her to. She made them thin and natural looking with a perfect almond shape. I dont think I've ever had my nails done without something hurting or bleeding but Helen was so gentle and careful i didn't have a single cut or burn. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a great natural looking set of acrylic. The only negative thing i would say is that I was charged $5 extra to shape your nails almond, coffin etc but that the owner not Helen. Overall very impressed and will only be going here from now on! read more

Never have I ever felt so disrespected for not liking one single nail.0 stars Tiffany, Michael and older gentlemen with glasses who does pedicures, they all 3 attacked me because I didnt like one single nail, pointing at me, obviously talking about me in their language. Michael was in a hurry as they always over book, and he made my nail ugly and chunky. I PAY YOU to do what I want, to satisfy me as a customer not what you want because youre trying to get your next customer. Take care of ME first. Michael you are extremely rude. Way too aggressive with your hand grabbing. Learn customer service. You are not superior. read more

I decided to get acrylic nails for the first time for my wedding. The night before my wedding I learned that my nail appointment contact had quit. Luckily I was referred to Mia at Q nails. I had no idea what I wanted. All I had were some pictures and no idea what it would involve. She said don't worry about it "I got you" and she definitely did! She did an amazing ombre nude tone, with crystals and a 3-D flower! I received so many compliments I will definitely come back and bring my family. Thank you Mia! read more

This was my second time getting my nails done here. I went in for a simple gel manicure and basic pedicure with regular polish and French tip. The service was average, nothing great or memorable. My gel had bubbles, uneven rounding and gaps in paint but figured that those details were nitpicking. When I paid, I tipped both individuals cash for the services which was $65. I recently checked my bank statement and realized my total was $75, and that a tip was added afterwards. I had signed the receipt and wrote in my $65 balance at that time and remember that total but threw away my receipt! Super frustrated. I understand that many jobs work on tips as I myself worked did, but I had already tipped cash!! Don't recommend, will not return. read more

was yelping and found this place close to my house, i saw melissa d's lovely review for tiffany that went on saying here one day gone the nxt. It flooded my mind when i sat down and the man doing my nails pulls up a cart with a label maker label "tiffany" across the front, the crime junkie in me needs to know where she went.. anyways the manicure was decent, i'll add the reference photo and what i left with... they didn't clean any edges or paint down the full side of my nail, just kind of lazy and sloppy... the man doing my nails jumped up and switched with another man (not a word to me from either) just the new nail tech coming and saying let me see the photo. so i did and he did the hearts then the other man came back and "massaged" my arms.. he pulled so aggressively while standing that my arm was just hitting the plastic divider over and over& kept doing so even though there was not enough lotion on my hand to cover my palm. he was so preoccupied with everything else going on, people coming in, the phones, people talking to each other & watching him watch them..that he said maybe three words to me the entire 40 minutes i was there. also told me no when i asked him to cut my nails. if your opinion is my nails are short that's fine but they are my nails so if i'm asking you to cut them i think you should? instead he left them jagged and sharp with too quick and incomplete filing. i typically wouldn't yelp any of this but pretty disappointed& have to know ab tiffany.. just could've been better all over. feels half assed. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I had an appointment scheduled for 2pm. Not even joking you, I was finished with my pedicure and gel manicure by 2:20pm. I was infuriated. I should mention this was a Tuesday afternoon with only one other person in the salon! There was no need to be rushed. They asked me 3 times for various add on services "only $7 more!" - I get it, times are tough. My gel mani looked awful, I probably could have painted them better myself, and she didn't even bother to clean up the edges she missed. Not one to write bad reviews, but this one is completely necessary. Avoid at all costs. read more

My second time here and I am so very pleased with my nails!! Tiffany hooked me up with my finger nails...another sweet lady with short hair did my toes. What a great and relaxing experience. No rudeness and treated like a valuable customer. This ain't my first nail rodeo so I have been to several salons over the years...and it is nice to come to a place that is clean, fresh, consistent and professional. Great atmosphere and all are treated with respect. I love it!!! I will be a happy repeat customer!! Thank you Q-Nails!! read more

I was first debating whether or not to go since the reviews were very mixed. Much to my delight though the walk in pedicure was amazing! They scrub you with a sugar scrub, they are gentle, unlike a lot of places they color even the sides. Prices are fairly average, place is clean super relaxing environment. I got Tiffany who was super chatty and even tried Spanish for my mom. My mom got Denni (I believe that's how it is spelled) he's on the quieter side but super detailed and puts in the work he also used a lotion that smelled of gardenia. read more

Tiffany Isn't the friendliest. I figured she was in a bad mood since the beginning but I didn't think I was gonna be so unsatisfied with the outcome.. When asked to fix my nails she repeatedly told me to hold on and wait. She didn't fix my nails ...and I left with different sizes stuck to my fingers. Somewhere longer, somewhere shorter somewhere thinner and some were thicker... She also glued the tips crooked and I ask her to fix that since the beginning and she told me to wait there's more to do. my nails look horrendous. If I was able to not put a star at all then I would do so. read more

Q-Nails has a very relaxing atmosphere. I was greeted as soon as I walked through the door. I sat and waited nervously for Mia to attend to me.

Mia took her time, making sure my nails weren't lumpy, her quality of work is excellent! The true meaning of the salons name. I will be back and I would definitely recommend this shop read more

i got my nails done this morning and it already chipped. i had asked the lady for just regular polish because i had jus got my acrylics off. the lady seemed dismissive of my decision and kept insisting for me to get gel. after i told her multiple times of what i wanted done and she seemed annoyed. she seemed very passive once i said i wanted regular polish. she was doing another client at the same time, she rushed with my nails while her other clients was soaking off acrylic. she didn't take time to clean up the edges, some parts of my nail is missing polish, and she got polish all over my cuticle. i personally did not like my experience at Q-nails. read more

I will never come here again. First, the man that was doing my nails was very rough and kept smacking my hand/fingers away, he was sloppy and didn't seem confident in what he was doing. Then he kept walking away from doing my nails to help other clients. It was around closing time so as he was putting polish on my nails, he stops half way through to start cleaning up the salon. After about 7 minutes of me waiting with WET nails, he tells another girl to finish my nails. I got a full acrylic set pink French tips and it came out to $56 plus a not deserved $5 tip. That's $10 more than I've been charged elsewhere with better service and better quality work. My nails look below average. I'm not happy. read more

My mom and I came here for about a year and we're overall pleased with the prompt service and clean environment. However we realized that the male technicians work too fast and roughly. My mom is a senior whose hands are clearly frail but despite pointing this out to the tech, if it was a man, he would invariably get back to moving her hands and fingers around too quickly and painfully. For me, there were just too many times when I had to quickly pull my hand away after the (again, male) technicians drilled too close to the nail bed and the last straw was a painful pedicure callus removal that took off too much skin, resulting in a abrasion. The last time we planned our appointment we realized we were dreading the experience. I would encourage the owner to remind employees that this is a spa service, meant to be relaxing for the client and a careful, slower, approach would be appreciated. read more

When I called I asked if I could get dip with tips. She took my name for an appointment. I got there and he told me he can't do dip with tips only gel full set. I said okay and continued. I had a reference picture with oval shape and a nude color. The shape of my acrylics are uneven, lifting and ugly. The gel after only a few hours is bubbling on two of my fingers. I won't be back unless the offer to fix them. The guy that first did my nails was rude and kept yanking on my arms. The lady that actually did the Acrylic was very nice but again the nails are uneven lifting and super unflattering. I will have to get them redone somewhere else now and I spent 50$ on these. She also glued my finger to the towel. read more
