While visiting Monterey, I realized it was time to get my nails done. Lucky me I found Pampered…read moreNails on Abrego St. I parked right in front of the storefront and walked in without an appointment. Kate was kind enough to stop decorating the salon's Christmas tree and take me immediately. I really appreciated that the salon had a plastic divider while she worked on my nails so the filing residue did not land on my clothes. She listened carefully to my preferences and delivered exactly what I wanted. Super cute mom and pop nail salon in Monterey. The next time I visit and need my nails done again I will be sure to stop by.

This is a cozy nail salon, looks new and super clean. Two ladies were working on the day that I…read morecame with my daughter. We both got mani/pedi. The owner was kind enough to accommodate us although we had to wait midway for a previuosly made appointment. For sure, next time we'll make an appointment ahead of time to avoid the long wait. What I love about the women that did our nails is that they did their job perfectly and beautifully. They didn't rush and were very careful. I worried about this for my daughter who has had a trauma from an old nanny cutting her skin while clipping her nail. Prices are reasonable- another important factor.

I chose this salon because it was nearby and I needed a gel manicure ASAP. I called ahead and was…read morehappy that they were able to take me right away. When I arrived, there was only one other customer in the salon getting a pedicure. I was told to have a seat and wait for my nail technician. When she came out from the back and sat down, she immediately got to work. Unfortunately, she wasn't very friendly or welcoming and didn't even say hello, which I think is a pretty basic part of customer service. I told her what I wanted, and she got started. She was strictly business, no small talk, no effort to make me feel comfortable, just work, work, work. In fact, it was probably the fastest manicure I've ever had. What surprised me most was that there were none of the finishing touches I've come to expect from a manicure. There was no hand rinse at the end to remove the nail dust and debris, no hand massage. She did ask if I wanted lotion or cuticle oil, but it felt more like an obligation than a genuine offer. Since my hands were still covered with filing dust, I declined the lotion and oil because I would have preferred to wash my hands first. The gel manicure itself turned out fine, but the overall experience felt rushed and impersonal. I paid and left without feeling like much care had been put into the customer experience. It's been about a month now and my nails have not chipped, they're still going so that's a plus.

During the time we were getting our pedicures, multiple parties came by for a drop in appointment. Because they were busy, they let the customers know honestly or gave them a time to come back. Despite feeling rushed, the workers actually did not rush and provided quality care!! My nails, even 2 months later, are STILL looking good! No chipping or flaking at all! Just natural growth. Would definitely be back here if I'm in the area!

I started going there for pedicures, and now have builder gel French tip manicures as well.

Came in here on a whim because I was in the area but my toes desperately needed a pedicure. The…read morewoman who did my pedicure was great - transparent on cost, thorough, and the scrub and massage she did on my feet and legs was fantastic! It's fairly priced, I paid what I anticipated. I'll see how the gel (gel pedicure) holds up, as the last place I went to it chipped after 3 weeks which is very abnormal for gel. The only thing I'll say is the (younger) girl who collected the payment and did check out was super off-putting and almost condescending? Her tone of voice and attitude was very transactional and like she was tired and bored of people. Not a good look, it was an unfortunate ending to an otherwise nice experience.

I was just about to leave when they finally were ready to help me. it was disappointing to agree to help them out by changing my appointment time and then be left sitting there, wasting my time. I had booked online with a tech who had great reviews but was given someone else. I decided to stay anyway. I paid extra for Dazzle Dry, which is peeling after 2 days. My previous Dazzle Dry manicure, done while on vacation, lasted 10 days without chipping because it was properly applied. I feel bad because the staff seems really sweet but based on reviews and my experience, results can be inconsistent.

I have been here once before but never wrote a review for it - but I wanted to get my nails done…read moretoday for a pride event tomorrow and didn't want to wait for a nail artist appointment I had on the 19th - so I went. Tee did the base of my manicure and pedicure and Tina did my design - I will say since it is a pride design, it has many colors and I feel like a lot of people in the salon were like omg so many colors - not in a bad way but just in general. But I think the service was great and pricing reasonable for what I got. Tee had to deal with my not great feet that are prone to ingrowns and thus have a lot of dead skin like underneath the corners - I kept apologizing and she was very kind. Lots of creams and a steamer for the pedi I got which was nice. I will say, I don't think I saw them open their tools for the pedicure from a sealed like bag, they just came from the back on a tray - though it's possible that they were just opened away from me. Tina was very kind and did my designs which were fairly...detailed I would say. When I had a want of more paint or more jewels, she did it without complaint - I am very quiet when I am in a nail salon personally - or at least I was in a quiet mode so I did feel bad for being silent but not much judgement from what I can tell. So many people are popping in and out and I would say I don't know how they manage all the clients they have with maybe like 6 people? But they do. My mani pedi took 1.5 hours for reference. I will update this as far as wear later on. I would say it was good quality service for the price and for a general nail salon - you may disagree if you are used to going to nail art specific people perhaps but that's my view. As far as vibes - super busy like I said - people come and talk to each other while they get services - not what I like to do personally but there's lots of that. Employees talk to themselves in their language but surprisingly quietly, I had no idea how they all heard each other. There are two big TVs they have generic shows and ads running on and general spa music. They also have a either ancestor altar, and or ancestor plate - I think that is what it is called though I am not certain - in the front. I thought it was a nice touch personally.
