Work has been stressful...I think we all understand that. I made plans for a little mini spa day for myself. I made an appointment with rose nails for 4 p,m, and then a massage appointment for 6 p,m. I arrive about 10 minutes early, and the place is packed. There is about 15 people waiting in chairs or walking around. I sign in. I am told there is going to be a bit of a wait, because people have been waiting a long time. I ask...did they have appointments? No, but they have been waiting a long time. I step aside, think about it for a minute and tell the receptionist to please cancel my appointment. She asks if I am sure, and I explain I made an appointment because I have thing to do after this appointment. The staff was amazingly nice. The salon was beautiful, well lite, clean and a very nice cool temperature. I expect my reservations to be honored. read more

The only good nail tech there is Tien period. I went in to get a fill with a different nail tech, I didn't get his name. But this is how my nails came out. Crooked middle finger nail, nail polish underneath. He did not ask about what shape or length I wanted, he just did it on his own. The nail lengths are not even the same! If you want good nails ONLY GO TO TIEN. PERIOD :) read more

I know people don't really use reviews much but I had to vent. I've come to this salon off and on for years, way before they changed owners and remodeled. I've had good and terrible acrylic experiences here but overall have been happy until today. I broke one of my nails and was desperate to get it fixed. I went in the night before (Monday at like 5pm) and was told they didn't have time to fix it. Okay no big, fast forward to today at 11am. Was again told they didn't have time, my acrylics were too long for the tech, etc. so I left and then called and asked for an appointment for a fill. Oh of course they could get me right in! Really? So sad and it's probably no big deal to them but I will never return. read more

Loved my nails, I wish I got the name of the lady who did my nails because she honestly did a perfect job. I tend to be very picky and seeing her be careful and attentive to every detail was something I personally liked. I would definitely go there again, plus the pricing was reasonable. Here's a pic of my nails (please ignore my hand I had black hair dye residue). read more

I dropped my AirPods here while getting my nails done, realized on my way home & called and the man that answered wouldn't even look for them. He said "you can track them they not here". Also my nails were very rushed & sloppy. I will not be going back here. read more

If I could give them zero stars I absolutely would! I paid $65.00 on Friday March 22nd (about 10am) to get a pedicure and a gel manicure. To be clear $55.00 was for the service and $10.00 was for a tip. They got me right in which was appreciated but when I asked to pick a color for my toes I was provided nail swatches. Apparently too many bottles of polish have been broken so this is how they do it now. Fine. I pick the same color for my toes and fingers. It was supposed to be (or as it was labeled) Carmel peach. It was like a beige with an undertone of peach. The first color I selected they didn't have "must have been broken" she said. Despite trying to carry on a conversation, the young woman doing my nails (very pretty, Hispanic woman with long brown hair) she wouldn't really talk much. I would share her name instead of a description had she provided it or even said hello when I first sat down. After I was done and paid, I walked outside and noticed my toes and fingers were different colors despite asking for the same colors. You can see in the picture it's significantly different. When I went back in she said "yea that happens with gel sometimes". Seriously? That was that. Today, I was typing on my computer and noticed something flapping on my nails. You guessed it....ALL 10 fingers, the gel polish literally slid off! You can see it in the picture. Perfect little nail shapes no issues or whiteness on my nails. They all literally just lifted off. Talk about a WASTE of money! I will absolutely never, ever go back here and honestly you shouldn't either. read more

Be forewarned for unprofessional staff. I went there in the morning to get a manicure. The person right across the door said they are not accepting any appointments. It was packed with customers. I asked for Ms Helen and she just shrugged her shoulders dismissed my request. She said we are not taking any customers today, and I should come back another day. Today was my day off and only time I could get my nails done. I am a regular customer. I will not be returning. read more

I went in to see if I was able to get my dipping powder off. Firstly I was told they don't do dipping powder, but later was told they can help me take them off. I was helped by a male nail technician (did not get his name) and he used false nail tips and pretty much stuck it in between my real nail and the dipping powder to pry it off!! I pulled my hand back a few times as I felt he was about to pull my real nail off of my fingers and he said "You move too much. the more you move, the more it'll hurt." He then proceeded to tell me my nails are damaged and that I should get gel mani to help it. DO NOT COME HERE! The most UNPROFESSIONAL nail salon I've ever been to. read more

I love my nails! Pinky did such an amazing job. I always enjoy coming here because everyone is always so very friendly and welcoming. I usually get my nails done with T, but I also loved how these came out by Pinky. Extremely satisfied ! I would recommend going during the week or scheduling an appointment if you don't want to be waiting much. Either way, they are generally pretty busy, but the wait is definitely worth it!

I booked an 11:00am appointment on the app Lepuro. When I arrived, they did not have me down for an appointment and they seemed to have no idea what I was talking about. I find it hard to believe they didn't approve partnership with the Lepuro app. Both Rose Nails salons are on the app. But, not all Merced nail salons are on the app, which leads me to believe it's a partnership Rose Nails 2 approved, but maybe forgot about (I don't know why else they'd be on the app but not honor the appointments made through it. So, don't book through the Leporu app if you plan to go here. read more

I was a little disappointed last time i went. I was on a time schedule so when i walked in and saw they were a little busy i made sure to ask how long the wait would be. The gentlemen behind the counter at the time told me 10-15min. I thought that is not bad at all, i can wait. I put my name down with what i wanted and took a seat. 45 minutes later!!! Im sitting there freaking out that i was going to be late to my appointment at 5 o'clock. When i went up to the counter to ask the lady how much longer it was going to be she looked at me and said 10-15min without even looking to see where my name was on the list! I told her that, i was told the same time when i walked in 45min earlier and she said "well i have all these people in front of you" The only reason i was upset is because i was not told a realistic time frame. If i would have been told 45min to an hour at the get go i would have drove somewhere else being on a time restraint. They finally sat me and 10min later someone came and started my water. It was luke warm :( Then i feel like i got a 1/2 asked peddi because i had to come and ask about the time with the lady, she kept pulling my pedicurist away to do other little tasks. I was sad. The first time i went i though "I found the place for me!!!" And after this time, i feel like i might need to keep looking. read more

Ladies, if you choose to come here rhinestones will not stay on! & when you go back to have them fixed, they refuse service! The young receptionist with glasses is very rude, should be fired! Also the workers need to manage their time better, will rush the nail work. Rhinestones came off a week later. Bullshit! read more

I went to go get a gel mani today and asked the lady for round nails. She then proceed to give me square shaped nails.

i wasnt expecting a good experience since most of the reviews are bad, but the man who did my nails was fast and man he shaped them like a boss. Not only was my experience very good but they had sanitizer and disinfected often due to COVID, they followed each guideline, even 6ft apart. Will be coming back and asking for the same man! read more

Rose Nails 2 - Nail Salons Near Me - Merced, California

I went to get my nails done for prom and I left with so much pain all over my fingers. The man who did my nails was so aggressive with my nails and filed the crap out of my skin. The worst part of all was that I had to pay for $40 dollars for nails that looked so crappy, I asked for coffin shaped nails and they came out completely different. They were also thick that I had to file them on my own at home like wtf! And they were also placed so weird that my nails look crooked. Now it has been a couple of days and my thumb and index finger are swollen and they hurt so bad because of these stupid crappy nails that I got from this place. Definitely DO NOT recommend this place at all. read more

I had longer nails that were white and it was difficult to type at work and for school. So I came here and met Nai! She did my nails and was so sweet. Definitely coming back to her because we bonded well and talked a lot! She made it comfortable for me! I also didn't know how short to cut my nails and she made sure I kept my coffin shape. She also swatched colors for me and gave me her opinion on the colors I chose. She pointed out some were darker than the actual gel samples and I loved that she did. Customer satisfaction indeed! read more

I've been coming here for years, and their customer service is great! The atmosphere is friendly and relaxing. Just recently I had to go back to get my granddaughter's toe redone due to swimming, and I had a nail split when I stubbed it. Both issues were taken care of quickly. Thank you, Rosie and staff! read more

If I can give zero stars I totally would, I got my nails done on September 17, 2022 and today September 28, 2022 I had two nails pop off like nothing it hasn't even been two weeks I called Rose nails and they wanted to charge me five dollars per now to replace and I told them I am not willing to pay five dollars for each nail. One of the reasons I said no it's because I paid $65 for the set and for two just to come off like nothing is ridiculous I also had two more nails come off after this picture when I was typing at work they told me to go back I had to argue with them in order for them not to charge me as my day continued on at work I had another two nails pop off and I'm sure if I went they were charge me for every single nail that popped off it hasn't even been 3 to 4 weeks I do not recommend this place for anyone do not waste your money here go to a real professional nail artist I learned my lesson and I will not be coming back here. Also my nail appt was only less than an hour. I had to argue with the lady on the phone in order for them not to charge me why do we have to do that when it hasn't even been two weeks that I've had my nails. read more

I've been coming here for pedicures for the longest. I've experience mild bad customer service here before but my toes always come out looking amazing, so I didn't really complain much. But yesterday, I went in for some pedicures with a few of my friends and I spoke so highly of the workers there because it was their first time there and getting a pedicure.... little did I know, I spoke way too soon!! The man that did my toes, I believe his name was "Liam" he had a mole on his face was completely unprofessional. I've had him do my toes before and he was great but yesterday I was so speechless and angry. Not only was my toes horrible, he was so rude to me when I told him about it. I had gotten the french tip style on my toes and the line was all over the place, not on one toe but multiple and when I had told him about it he responded with "what?!!" Like excuse me? I'm paying for your service and this is how you talk to me? I wasn't rude nor was it my fault that my toes were jacked up!! When I told him about my toes all the other lady workers just kind of came over and peaked at it and they said something in their language which I'm almost positive they said something about me. At that point I just kind of gave up trying to tell him because I couldn't keep my calm anymore. I was so frustrated because I was so excited to get my toes done and this place usually doesn't disappoint. Overall, I would say this place really is a hit and miss. But as for myself, I don't know if I would continue going back there and it's a shame because I honestly did really like that place. But with the way they treated me, I don't know if I'll ever be able to go in there with the same happy attitude again. Ps. Idk why the photos aren't showing but you can see photos of my toes on my page. read more

Giving this 5 stars because I loved how my nails turned out. I came with a friend and we were greeted at the door and had to wait a bit, but the lady who did my nails was polite, clean, and fast. I'm usually picky w my nails but actually really liked how they turned out! read more

Rose Nails 2 - Nail Salons Near Me - Merced, California

I've been to the salon several times and only one of the sets that I've gotten I really enjoyed. The first time I went in early one morning No one greeted me or mentioned a sign in sheet so I sat there for 15 minutes before I realized I needed to sign in and then shortly after a young man began to do my nails. Only 12 days later my pinky nail broke and the middle finger of the same hand completely lifted off and I don't do any strenuous work or labor. So I went back and got a fix and fill which lasted longer but still had problems with nail breaking. I went in for a fill and enjoyed those nails for about 20 or so days before they all lifted and came off. I went in for my last appointment in a hurry because I was going out of town and had a different technician do my nails (as she was the only one available at the time) she didn't shape them very well and the acrylic is really thin but I've been wearing them for almost a week and I don't have any problems with with them besides I don't like the style. At the end of my last appointment I went to pay and the technician followed me up and I told her to give me back $4 in change which would include her tip but she only passed back $3 and gave herself an extra dollar tip. I did not say anything because I was in a hurry and of course it was just $1 but the fact that she heard what I had said and still decided to give herself an extra tip was unacceptable and I don't think I will be back to this salon. read more

I went and had a pedicure and mani and my manicure was already lifting after 4 days and went back for them to fix and I had to pay for them to fix there mistakes and to top it off after I had the fixed mani set the next from getting them fixed to nails popped off. Never again read more

Horrible horrible horrible.... did I mention horrible? Oh yelp I got a lot to put in just one visit, ONE. I showed the woman the picture right before we start and she says oh yeah okay it'll be around $60 ... I'm fine with it I've gotten my nails done before I get it... so she is doing my nails and asks what colors I want, says I have to choose, I ask to show colors that are the closest to it and she does colors that are not even close... I asked for dark purples and she put bubble gum pink and a Valentine's Day red. We ask that since it's matte if the color will get darker after it drys .. she says yes... it doesn't then my boyfriend is explaining to her that it's not close and the manager lady or something comes over puts her hand in his face and tell him that she's going to talk now. Yeah no I had them take off the nails and they got mad they had to do that that they left all the glue on it still. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Rose Nails 2 - The end result after they remove the nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Merced, California

Horrible service. They make you feel so uncomfortable. I wouldn't even give this place 1 star. Went for a basic gel polish & they charged me $50 instead of $30 bc they "put lotion on my hands" It's so rude how they speak in their language to each other when you are sitting right in front of them. Don't they want to make a connection with their clients?! Try to at least be nice & speak in English so we don't think you're talking about us to our face. About my gel polish- the coats weren't even so you could see patches of my nails. Also some of my nails are more dull than the rest. I think they didn't apply enough of the product on before wiping it off in the last step. In my option, I'd rather go to The Pedi Bar where the staff is nice & welcoming. read more

I go for pedicures regularly. They always do such a great job. I leave with my feet feeling so clean and looking great!

Gel Nails: Positive: Even coats, good edges (gel on nails), moderate variety of colors, and nice nail shape. Negative: 3 fingers bleeding, 1 thumb cut (1/2 cm) which bled throughout the day, rough edges on filed nails, and no apology. Conclusion: The mani came out nice. I went to get my nails done to relax, instead I walked out stressed over my thumb. Overall, way too overpriced for the services. Won't ever return. read more

They told us they had time for manicure and pedicure so they got me and my mom started on a pedicure and began cutting my moms finger nails while in the pedicure chair without asking if she wanted acrylic or gel and once I explained she wanted an acrylic manicure. They said they couldn't do it and I explained that we definitely didnt want a gel manicure to begin with and she said she had to charge us for gel because she had already cut her nails and had to finish the service. Dont go, theyre sick in the head and will provide what they want and have time for, NOT what you want. read more

Coming from a family who is very familiar with the Nail business, I was excited to check out what nail salons were like in Merced. (Im from SF) Since my Mom (who usually does all my nails, waxing, etc) was off on vacation, I had to come in just for my nails to be cut, shaped, and file. ($5). for an upcoming concert. The lady who greeted me was very nice and attentive to my needs. I spoke to her in Vietnamese and told her I wanted a mani and pedi and that I had a $5 off coupon from my friend. Mani = $12 Reg. Pedi = $20 Honestly, I did not want to spend $32 (b/c I didnt realize how much their services cost, cause my mom always did everything for me!) to get my nails done with the works, so that's when I decided to take a seat and check out how much other services cost on their price list. The lady was very nice and said that Mani and Pedi would cost $27, but I continued to tell her that I only wanted to get my nails "cut, shaped, and filed = $5). Ultimately, she asked me how much I had and I told her $20 in cash. She gracefully gave me a mani and spa pedi for $20 and offered to draw flowers on my nails and even offered giving me french tips. Overall I am very grateful for how nice the staff was. They did a very good job and I can will definitely recommend this place to my friends. As I paid her, she asked me "Are you happy?" and I said "Of course, everything was great here." Also, if you are a UC student you get $5 off on all services and an additional 10% off. Sweet! There is also a $15 off on your 7th visit, so make sure u pick up their business card and have 'em initial on the back of the card! read more

While I really like their work the attitude of the people running the place leaves a lot to be desired. This is my third time coming here and every time they make me feel like they are doing me a favor. My first visit I was a walk in and they seemed almost offended. The guy that did my fill spent the whole time on a phone call barely saying a word to me. The place is clean and they have a great selection of colors if you don't mind being treated like crap. read more

Went here about a couple times. Today was not good. Staff was rude and talking in their language clearly about me. Got there at 430 and they close at 7. Wanted to get my nails done as well as pedicure. Pedicure was fine. Noted I wanted to get dipping powder on my real nail which apparently is acrylic and called "ovalae" after understanding me they said they couldn't do it because they dont have time when one employee that was doing acrylics when I got there was sitting down talking about me dont appreciate it or there service. read more
