Fresh plastic guard placed in the foot bath, the tools came fresh out of an autoclave bag, the employees wore gloves. My nails turned out great and my toes and feet do not hurt. No blood was drawn.

We had Sky and Vincent. Great pedicure for a great price. And very clean. Will be going back again.

I called this morning and made an appointment for 11. Should have known better, since they didn't even want to take my name down.

I did, then asked if realistically if they would be able to accommodate me and they just stared at me, and said no. Walked out. Won't be coming back here again.

I was directed to a pedicure chair when I came in, but then not talked to or attended to at all for 20 minutes. It was another 10 before someone turned on the water, which turned cold before my manicurist got around to me. The color choices were limited. You don't pick them out from the wall of bottles, but instead are given display books & swatch rings that were pretty worn. I was suggestively pushed to gel by everyone I interacted with and not ever exactly told which colors were available in regular polish. The pedicure was fine. The price was fine. The attendant was a little rough moving my legs around, but nice otherwise. I wouldn't ever deter anyone from coming here, but there's a lot of nail salon options available, so I'm going to try others.

Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this salon…read more I originally went in for a pedicure and also decided to get builder gel. I will say that Thomas was great--he was efficient, professional, and did an amazing job with my builder gel. Unfortunately, that was pretty much the only positive part of my experience. I was a walk-in, but they were too busy to take me at the time, so I had to leave and come back later. When I finally got my pedicure, Vanessa was nice enough, but the quality of her work was honestly not good. My French tips were sloppy, uneven, and inconsistent, and the overall finish looked rushed. She also never asked me what shade of pink I wanted, which I thought was pretty basic when getting a specific nail design. When I politely mentioned that I wasn't happy with how my nails turned out, the manager was extremely rude and dismissive. Instead of trying to fix the issue or even offering a reasonable solution, she told me that "next time I should speak up." I was literally speaking up at that moment. What bothered me most was the complete lack of customer service. I wasn't asking for anything crazy! I simply expected the manager to acknowledge that I wasn't satisfied and offer an option to make it right. No discount, no correction, no alternative solution.. just an attitude. I don't mind paying for good service, but when the work is sloppy and the manager makes you feel like you're the problem for bringing it up, that's a major red flag. Thomas was fantastic, but unfortunately one good experience wasn't enough to make up for the poor pedicure and the manager's attitude. Definitely won't be coming back.

Jennifer is SO AWESOME!!!…read more I went for my first appointment with her a few days ago, and man am I happy! I can't stop looking at my cute nails. I am originally from Orange County, so I am insanely spoiled with the seemingly thousands of options for nail salons. I really like blinged out nails with gems, designs, hand painted art, etc. and often would go to specialty salons to get these done. Once I moved to the central coast, I was pretty sad that I wouldn't be able to treat myself to anything but normal gel polish anymore. I went to a few places, but I wasn't really "wow"ed by any of them. Cue my appointment at Nails Depot! I picked a pretty simple design from the Yelp gallery because I wasn't sure exactly how detailed her designs could get. Imagine my happiness when she pulls out a HUGE box of glitter, and has a ton of gems and charms in the shop! I was so excited! On top of that, Jennifer is super nice and entertaining. The shop is also extremely clean, with plastic liners in the pedicure tubs and individual sterilized pouches for her nail tools. If all that wasn't awesome enough, she was able to give me gel nails with gems and designs in UNDER AN HOUR! Granted I didn't have anything to take off previously, but I have never had my nails done that fast. Ever! I am so happy that I found this little gem. I will definitely be coming back. :) Thanks, Jennifer!

I think i just got a lady going through a bad day because my friends had great service and their toes came out great. My lady kept getting annoyed with how my hand was laying on hers, and she rushed the whole thing. I was done in less than 15 mins. (Granted, this was my first time getting a fill so im not sure how long they are supposed to take) but my nails came out with parts not painted and i was bleeding on one of my fingers. Every one else was supper friendly but im not sure if ill come back. Update: Because this was my first acrylic fill when I wrote this review I was not aware that all the bumps and missing polish was not normal. Now I know! This was a very bad fill job. Not to mention It's been 4 days and my gel polish is also chipping.. I guess it was a waste of money and time. There were so many other techs there that seems nice and looked to have done great work..I wish I got one of them! I do appreciate the owner reading and responding to my review. Just wish I had gotten what i paid for..

I just moved to the area and was excited to try this salon after my mom recommended it, but…read moreunfortunately this was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. I made an appointment online ahead of time with Julie. When I arrived, I told them I had an appointment and was asked to sit down. About 10 minutes later, they told me they *didn't have my appointment*. I even showed them my confirmation and confirmed the address, and instead of taking responsibility, they asked if I was at the right salon. At that point, they asked if someone else could do my nails since my appointment "wasn't there." I agreed, but honestly, I should have left. I was seated with Mai. I came in with long, natural nails that I really loved. She asked if I wanted them shorter and I said, "just a tiny bit shorter." Before I could even clarify, she immediately grabbed the clippers and cut one of my nails way too short without checking. I was shocked. When I told her how upset I was, she just said "sorry" and continued cutting the rest of my nails down basically in half. I was honestly devastated. Then came the color issue. I originally picked a yellow but changed my mind because with my nails now so short, I wanted something I felt better about. I asked for a purple shade. She brought over a color board, I picked one, and then suddenly I'm told it's $5 extra. Why bring me an upcharge option without saying anything, especially after everything that already happened? The colors weren't even anything special. I declined and picked something similar that wasn't extra. The quality of the service just kept going downhill. The polish was messy, getting into my cuticles, and she didn't clean it up before curing. She also applied two coats of top coat on one hand and only one on the other. Overall, this experience was incredibly disappointing from start to finish. The lack of communication, poor technique, and disregard for what I asked for was unacceptable. Also, for the record - I *did* have an appointment, as I received both a confirmation and a follow-up "please leave a review" text afterward. I will not be returning. I would strongly recommend going somewhere else unless you're specifically seeing Julie, and even then, don't count on your appointment being honored.

The workers here are not good at their jobs. I went in for a dip set on my natural nails (no tips),…read moreand within one day my nail had already cracked. The technician admitted she saw the crack but "thought the dip would hold it." That's unacceptable. I shouldn't have to come back because something was knowingly done incorrectly the first time. A few days later, two more nails cracked. When I returned, the original technician wasn't there, and another worker (with a bob haircut) helped me. She tried to tell me one of the nails "wasn't cracked" and that it was "just a line." That was honestly insulting because I can clearly see the difference between a crack and a natural line. I said "okay I'll just have to come back I guess to get it fixed" and she responded with "okay". The NERVE. She only fixed one nail and while she was had the audacity to try to convince me to get acrylic next time. She claimed that dip isn't strong enough for my nails, even though I've been getting dip on my natural nails for years without any issues at other salons. I've now had to come back twice for the same problem, which I've never experienced anywhere else. At this point, it feels like either poor technique or low-quality products. Either way, I would NOT recommend this place.
