I came in for a full set. During the acrylic application, I immediately noticed how poorly the nails were being done. The application was uneven, bulky, and honestly the worst acrylic application I have ever seen. I tried to stop the service, but the technician kept insisting that she was "not finished" and told me to wait. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and allowed her to continue. At the end of the service, I still did not like the nails at all. I was already uncomfortable and chose to leave instead of arguing. The next day, my hands hurt extremely badly. My fingers and nails were very sore because the technician handled my hands roughly throughout the filing process. I went back and calmly requested that the nails be removed because they were hurting my hands and I did not like the work. When I walked in, multiple staff members stood up from their seats and surrounded me, speaking back and forth in their language while staring at my nails and at me. Eventually, one of them asked what the problem was. I explained calmly that I didn't like the nails and that my hands hurt. She asked if I wanted a different color, and I said no -- I simply wanted the nails removed. They continued talking back and forth in their language, visibly annoyed. I told them it was rude to speak about me in front of me when I didn't understand what was being said. One staff member rolled her eyes, pointed to a chair, and told me to sit down. They did remove the nails, but the entire situation felt unprofessional and uncomfortable. On top of that, sanitation was questionable. The nail tech had her feet under the table resting where my leg room was supposed to be. I had my feet kicked back the whole time if i tried to put them in front of me there was no room Nail salons should make clients feel comfortable, respected, and safe. This experience did the opposite. I will never return. read more

So for starters, I asked for almond nails. Used dirty tools, and cut me with them, then proceeded to remove them and put them back with all the other drill bits. They look terrible, lumpy and the lines are uneven. But seriously?? I'm more concerned about how unsanitary that is, they reuse files and drill bits without sterilizing them, that's DISGUSTING. How many other people have been cut with the same dirty drill bits? And this disaster was $65, next time I'll go with a home based nail tech, at least they're more sanitary. read more

Horrible, ridiculous service. Polish loaded on until it literally oozed down my toe like lava. I ended up with a nasty infection in my toe after a botched pedicure, which took forever to heal. This place should be shut down. I can't imagine how some of the girls in this place ever passed their manicurist exam. I think the county should go in and check that they all actually have their licenses, because it sure doesn't make sense that they could go through schooling and be this inept. read more

I would highly recommend not going there. The absolute worst set of Nails ever done in my life.. it was sloppy fast unfiled rough and within one week my gel paint chipped off, which is never happened before. My pedicure was rushed, not fully done. No trimming of the cuticles massage was literally up and down one leg for maybe five minutes and also they only soaked my feet for about 30 seconds maybe. Horrible, horrible and they can't figure out their prices. Tried to overcharge me nothing good to say about this place whatsoever. read more

Terrible , overpriced, I had to correct them on everything on top of that they judge A LOT

My review similar to others-GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, TRUST ME!!! The Lady didn't literally do ANYTHING to my feet. I kept telling her what I needed/should be done, but she didn't understand. The lady that was doing my daughter's pedicure could tell that nothing was being done for me, and actually just took over mine when she was done with my daughter. The back, not bottom, of my heel was scraped raw from the pumice stone. My actual heels got no attentio, no massage, hurt me with the cuticle cutters from going so fast.... Allegedly I was given the "deluxe spa pedicure." I also didn't see anyone wash their hands, pull instruments from peel packs and/or sanitize their hands nor equipment. 0/5 stars! read more

I can't give this place 1 star from how terrible it was. I decided to go for a pedicure after yearssss of not going here. I had to walk out with uncut bare nails because I could not continue to let the lady work on my pedicure. From how unsanitary, the not following what I asked for and her just filing at my nail super rough. DO NOT GO HERE! read more

I made the mistake of going in for a gel manicure an hour before they closed. AN HOUR!!! I should've known this was going to be a rushed job. I even asked her, "is this how you always do nails or are you in a rush?" She replied, "no." Some of my nails are crooked, ALL of them had clear gel polish all over the bottom of my nail and on my finger. Not to mention, right now that I checked my bank account she somehow tipped herself. The total I signed for was $31 and something cents. This AM it says $37.26 which I'm not even going to bother with, keep it! What a horrible place. Never cheat on your nail lady read more

Pretty sure this is the worst nail salon in Watsonville and that's really bad because they all suck. Damaged my nails .

Absolutely the worst manicure and pedicure I've ever had. $45 for a pedicure and didn't even have a top coat put on...I left with nails that were smudged and not completely painted. $25 basic manicure and cuticles not trimmed and no top coat. Floors in salon were filthy. Manicurist hurriedly did my nails, then sat in a chair and watched a movie on her phone. read more

So I went with my aunt for a nice afternoon pedicure. NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO HERE. I watched her soak my feet for 30 seconds and then she proceeded to strip the skin in between my nail and toe of my big toes. It started to uncontrollably bleed and I yelped twice. Why I did not get up and leave is beyond me. She tried to hack at me again and I unconsciously pulled away and said "no." to her. They tried to fix the bleeding by applying ACETONE to my toe with a file wrapped in cotton and it stung like crazy. She was going to apply neosporin but forgot. I left with a bleeding toe. I bought some Epsom salts so now I can soak my toes and pray I don't get an infection. I also watched her place the nail file back in the tray after it touched my bloody toe. BAD NEWS YOU GUYS. In terms of the vibe, it was a stand place but she never apologized and they charged me 35$ for this butchery. Don't go. read more

Recently moved to the area and this was the closest place to get a gel mani/pedi. I wanted to treat myself so I went in to see if they could accommodate a walk in. Never again. Everything was rushed. They had a few ladies getting services and I thought they were going to tell me to come back later. No They told me to come in. I'm very disappointed. It would have been worse than if I hadn't pointed out some things while I was there. I just gave up paid and left. I learned my lesson. Gel mani/pedis are not hard if you slow down and not rush to get everybody in who walks in the door they could have done a decent job. The pictures were taken right after I left the shop. read more

One star review, because I paid full price plus tip for a gel manicure and pedicure. They just pretty much changed the polish of my nails and did not trim my cuticles or cut my nails. They rushed the whole process. The only time my cuticles were trimmed was after the color was completed and she cut my index finger and left me bleeding. I will never go back again for paying almost $100 for a half a** manicure and pedicure with a potentially very dangerous injury. read more

It was so bad. Omg. Just don't. Honestly worried I'm going to get an infection on my hands. Zero tools were cleaned or properly sanitized prior to the next person that sat in the chair after me. I had the lady in the front. So rushed, I sat in the chair for 15 minutes. read more

I had been here before and didn't have the best experience because they're doing everything so fast. Every customer is a dollar sign to them, so the faster they go the more money they make is what it feels like. What women out there feel me that when we come to places like this is to get pampered right?? I look forward to my self care time but It's unfortunate that they don't see it that way. Today was by far the worst, the gal cut me because she was filling my toe so fast as she's looking at two clients that walked in that she'd be attending after she's done with me. She didn't even apologize nor show any sign of remorse for doing so, I commented it to her and she was talking under her breath, which made matters worse. The absolute worst customer service!!! I'll never be coming back here after this horrible experience. Do not recommend!! read more

They were very nice when we went in...but the person doing my toenails cut my cuticle during a pedicure and seemed surprised that I said "Ouch! ". I mean, she kept pulling at it afterwards like she didn't understand this was causing me pain. I have a gash next to my toenail that I hope will not become infected. I would not recommend this place. read more

I came here because it was close to my job and it had good review, but they mess up on my nails the lady cut my nails wrong, she cut the top on my nail and mess up on another nail and i told her and she didn't care.

Went here for the first time with my daughter for pedicures. Both of us were cut. Lady used wrong polish which she thought was gel but was not. Kept using the UV light and didn't notice it wasn't curing. I finally said something and another technician took over. Don't even get me started on the massage or lack there of. Worst pedicure ever. read more

Worst manicure i've ever had. They ripped my nails off my nail bed and made them bleed, didn't understand a word of what i was trying to explain, which normally I don't fault nail techs for if they have training, but i wound up with my real nails cut, they had to put fake nails on, and they were all thick and uneven. I left before they finished. I hope I don't get an infection. read more

don't do it! went in for a pedicure, the girl hurt me, dug on my toes with a tool and then used the abrasive little wedge on the skin on the side of my foot, looks like I have road rash on my foot. never gave me a massage, she started to put sugar scrub on my legs and then started the abrasive stuff and then washed it off after she scrubbed my skin raw. then had the audacity to charge me 35 dollars. couldn't make change for a 100 dollar bill. i wish I had not tipped her, thankfully I only gave her 3 dollars, my normal tip is 10 bucks for a pedicure. I will never go to this place again. my first pedicure in Watsonville and def the last read more

If I could give this place anything less than one star I would. I'm normally not the type to complain but oh my Gosh... the most horrible experience ever! .. I walked in and asked for a pedicure and manicure. They took me right in. The pedicure was ok, but the so called manicure was a nightmare. Not only was Tammy the owner so rough ...it's almost like she was mad, they took the dremmel to my natural nail and I was burned twice. I had asked for a manicure ...so not sure why she was using the dremmel. After the dremmel incident Tammy proceeded to apply the polish. I asked her if she was going to clean my cuticles which she replied .."yes don't worry "... after the polish she started cutting my cuticles ( she didn't even soak my hands first) ...she nicked me twice and I was just getting ready to say something when ...omg! She cut me so bad ! I pulled my hand away and said .."ok that's it...I'm never coming back here again ". My finger bled so bad. I was in shock from the experience. I was literally in tears from the pain. And yes...I paid ...shouldn't have, but I did!! read more

Hey there! So here's my experience with Tammy's nail salon. ONLINE it says a price so I went in got my nails done and when about to pay they were charging me 20 above price. They don't honor their online prices, they do services you don't request and then up charge you. I had a bad experience overall come here Uc you want to be charged 3-2x what it says. Make sure to get the price in writing before you get it done read more

I wasn't very impressed with this place the first time I came, but I always give places a second chance. My pedi and mani literally took like 20 minutes, it felt so rushed I was more anxious than relaxed. I always get a French pedi, the clear nail polish looks rigid and bubbly. I usually get a mani with no gel, the lady was so rushed she was cutting deep into my cuticles, one of my fingers bled a little bit. Then she put alcohol, I get it to disinfect, but that hurt like a b-----! Anyway, I tried. My friend had a better experience, she got color and gel, so maybe for that, it's a much better place. read more

these lady's messed me up i asked for something very simple and they charged me 70 dollars and I wanted them all to be with not glitter and they added glitter to my pinky and it looks so dumb and there are weird black dots in my nails and the hole time all my fingers were hurting so bad DONT COME HERE IT SUCKS read more

It's 10:51 and the sign reads open at 10:30. I usually do have to wait but only 10 min or so. The precision of nails just isn't there, but I keep coming back because of the convenience of location. I don't think I'll be going back anymore. read more

I was robbed today, not with a gun but by a trip to Tammy's Spa. My friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a pedicure at Tammy's Spa & Nails at 1942 Main Street, Watsonville, CA, 95076. I was quoted a price for a basic pedicure. We had a wonderful time visiting and chatting as our toes were done. Then we went to pay. The base pedicure price quoted was $20. When I was rung up, I was told that the cost was now $31.95 less $1.95 if paid cash. As I was about to pay the bill, another technician walked up and said something to her in whatever language was spoken. Her eyes widened, and she added another $20.00 to the bill. When I objected, stating the new price was not quoted at the time of service. The other technician claimed we got a service different than the basic pedicure. Rather than make a major scene, I paid, especially since my friend didn't support me, stating she had never heard the quote. I am an unhappy customer. Their prices should be posted, or someone proficient in English should make any price changes they are asking beyond what they quoted. I will not be returning or recommending Tammy's spa. read more

Why do I keep coming here!!! They are so bad. They don't care about what you want. And the old guy does nails the worst. I think it's because he can't see very well. My gel nail polish didn't even go to the edge of my nail.he cut my toe pretty good. And I went one time before this last time and it wwas 25$ but this time it was 27$. Wtf DO NOT GO HERE!.
