This is the first time I come into the shop by recommendation. I took my grandma in for a pedicure,…read morewe got here a lil early for our appt but they took her in. The shop is small but the service is 5 stars. Keira took such good care of my grandma. She took the time to massage her tired feet and my grandma really enjoyed it. There was no rush not get us out, she took the time to get to know us. The shop is located in a small business center and there is plenty of parking. We got a spot right in the front. They follow Covid protocols and everything is super clean. There are only two people inside doing nails so you don't have to worry about crowding. I highly recommend it!

I had Acrylic nails for years that caused my nails to become so thin they were cracking open all the way down to my cuticles along with washboard ridges. I found Swans of Aptos & Kirk said he would like to help me; unfortunately we did not take before or after pictures. Within a few months while my nails grew out using Fiberglass wraps; I couldn't be happier. Kirk from Swans of Aptos is the only person in the area that does Fiberglass wraps; I call this my surfboard nails. No chipping, very little nail filing & covers 3/4 of the nail that leaves the cuticles & nail bed from being filed. I clean houses & have my hands in gloves for up to 8 hours with no problems with the moisture damaging my nails. I am so grateful for finding a nail salon that does not damage my nails over time. I have NO nail polish chips, lifted or cracked wraps, fungus under wraps, & I can go up to 3 weeks without maintenance. My nails are stronger & always look like I just had a manicure. I can't thank you enough Kirk & to the Owner, Kera, who gives the best pedicure with a leg massage EVER!! Swans of Aptos is a wonderful place to be pampered; Kera & Kirk Swan are siblings keeping the business in the family. I love supporting local small businesses. I love you both.

They did not have people ready for a us right away but we got to be comfortable and start picking out colors and soak. They had a wide variety of colors to choose from and even accommodated my request. It's clean inside and a modern atmosphere. We did the paraffin wax package and they did a great job! They took their time and it was very relaxing. I look forward to going back!

I've been coming to this location for over a year. The price is reasonable. I really love getting…read moremy pedicure by Danny. He is so nice and gives the best foot massage. Seriously he always makes me feel like a superstar. I also love that this place is located in beautiful Rio Del Mar and near my home. I would have given 5 stars but I had a very uncomfortable and hurtful experience with one of the manicurist named Tina. All the other ladies that work here have been kind to me except Tina. She threw a fit and angrily accused me of basically lying that I had an appointment with Danny right in front of my daughter and all the clients. I believe in showing kindness to all so I stayed calm and kind. I didn't deserve her lashing out at me and I will never get my nails done by her. Usually I come here and feel welcomed and relaxed. I hope that my review helps.

We booked an appointment for my sister and myself,…read moreshowed up for our appointment on time, they had 5 people waiting with appointments and all chairs full. They got us in chairs and then the torture began. They were so rushed, overly aggressive, rough with the manicure/pedicure, and not safe at all. My sister got abandoned by her lady and sat there while I got my nails done horribly. She never got her manicure. The final outcome, the nails look horrible, chunky, rough and nail polish chipping the same day. I would NEVER recommend this place! Services Pedicure, Manicure Requested style General mani/pedi Cleanliness Not clean at all used a toaster oven to sterilize the instruments. Flies all over. Stylist Did not communicate well at all. Cut my long nails without even asking how long I wanted them. So rushed. They do this pounding on the arms and legs. Not relaxing whatsoever.

I had a haircut done by Judy I really disliked, she cut my hair multiple inches shorter than i…read moreasked even when I repeated to her at the beginning I barely wanted anything off and just to do the treatment. Theres no way she can justify that my hair was dead enough to warrant that bc i had gotten a haircut from her a couple months before and she noted I had very healthy hair. Very disappointed she decided to turn my hair into something she wanted and completely disrespect my decision. I have been growing my hair for years and for her to cut it so that it is shorter than it was a whole year ago when i wanted half an inch of really sucks. Do not go to Judy if you Don't want her to cut multiple more inches than you ask for. I really thought she was a good hairdresser at first but now I have no trust in her and would not come back.
