    Pedicure.

    Pedicure done by Susan. She did a wonderful Job! Attention to detail and took her time (I scheduled appt prior). Very happy with the service I received. :)

    Fun rainbow nails!

    I was looking for an artist who could give me a fun vision for upcoming events. Nina and the crew at Vanity Nails were amazing!

    Gel French tip on my natural nails

    Very happy with my experience. I came here for the first time today and it was great. The environment was nice quiet and clean. But mainly Susie and Angie are what made this experience nice. One worked on my mani while the other worked on my pedi both turned out so nice and I loved that both of them paid attention to detail! Even asking me every once in awhile if it still looked good to me. I appreciate that. Will definitely be coming back. (Posting pic of the manicure only due to not really wanting to post my feet lol but my pedi looked just as great! )

    I just found this Great Nail Salon. It's a very Classy and Clean little place. It has a relaxing atmosphere and the people were wonderful. Most importantly their work was Excellent! But the Best thing is.I finally found a really great place to get my nails done! Thank you so much Vanity Nails! I love my nails.

    Including some additional nail pictures to show off their work. I am so lucky to have found Nina and Lam! I enjoy how comfortable they make me and really want to ensure that I love my nails. If you are looking reasonable prices, quality work and lovely customer service check out Vanity Nails!

    Dirty towel

    Where do I even start? If I could give it half a star I would. First of all they sat me down, then they worked on other customers and cleaned their store. When I posted about the dirty towel the young girl comes up to me IN THE MIDDLE OF MY PEDICURE and goes "can you take down your yelp review its not dirty its just nail polish" Missed or late to your appointment? Don't worry! They'll blow up your phone with phone calls until you answer and explain When I tried to explain that to a paying customer you give me a dirty towel her response was that they "wash them and its not dirty." But I as a paying customer sit down with no explanation get a towel with brown stuff on it? And then am asked to be silenced because its bad for business? They then at the end of my appointment started someone else's pedicure with no gloves and just left mine. Last time I ever come here Ive tried 3 times I'll stick with nails on kass st in monterey better service and pedicure

    I've been searching for a good nail salon in the area. I would drive all the way to San Jose to get any mail services, but this place definitely has been giving the same quality that I found in San Jose. It is a super small shop so I would suggest always calling before heading there! Bring in pictures of any looks you were thinking of and they really do their best to match it!

    Finding your go to nail shop is always hard when you are new to an area. I've tried out several shops and this has been my favorite so far. I called to make an appt and luckily I was able to get my nails done the same day. When I arrived the wait was short, however, I was not greeted for a few mins which was quite awkward. My nail technician was gentle but wasn't afraid to get in there and get all my cuticles removed. I was concerned about my thumb nail because it was splitting. A thin layer of acrylic was applied on top of this nail to protect it. The massage at the end was relaxing and such a nice way to end my manicure. I got the gel manicure which ran me $35 before tip. Not the cheapest shop I've been to, however, not the most expensive. My biggest gripe about this shop is that there are no prices listed online, or on display inside of the salon which I'm not a fan of.

    Nail art and the shape of my nails was perfect

    Came here because of the great reviews and proximity to my house. They fit me in on short notice, and I love how they turned out. I hate when I get gel polish and my nails look all thick from so many coats. I wanted a natural shade this time and it came out great. She shaped my nails exactly how I like and she checked in with me multiple times to make sure I liked the shape, length, color, etc. She also redid my flower design until it was perfect. Will be going back here from now on.

    First time here today, and I will definitely be back. Small reception/waiting area, and very clean and organized. I sat with the male technician (forgot to ask his name) and he heard my concerns and made my nails look exactly how I wanted them. I'm happy that I decided to give this business a try. Well worth the 30 minute drive from Watsonville.

    This was my first time ever and I received amazing service, hospitality, and met wonderful people!!! I showed them what I wanted and they were able to re-create the style. I live 20 miles away and I will be driving all the way to Marina just for this Salon because it's worth it !!

    Might want to reconsider getting gel nails done here. I allowed my high school daughter to go for a…read moremani day with friends. A nail cracked in half after a few days. When I went back to ask for a repair, I was being charged $10 dollars. In terms of friendly customer service, I would question it, my daughter requested a specific tone of color and was given the 1 tone the nail shop had available. They used gel color to paint the tip or her nail rather than powder like most nail spas. She was never asked if that tone was okay or whether she wanted to choose something different. Also the nail beds look cloudy as opposed to a transparent glossy finish. She even showed the nail tech an image of what she wanted and got something different and was charged $55 for some cheap work. When I went to talk to the owner Susan who apparently was the person who worked on my daughter's nails she wanted to charge me $35 to fix the one nail and change the color. Mind you I was not asking for a change of completely color. I was primarily asking for the nail to be fixed. Had I paid the $35 i would have been paying a total of $90 for a super short set . I dislike being "that" person but figured it's fair for others to know how they may invest their money. Check the pics out. Ultimately, she fixed the broken nail for free and did a worser job. Didn't even bother cleaning it, shaping it or ensuring it was the same length/width to her other thumb. Im now gana have to go home and file the sides and length. Never again...

    The owner took four of us as a walk in for pedicures and they did a great job. The workers didn't…read morespeak much English but they are all smiles and they take their time with the pedicure process. They double check their work and ensure everything is perfect.

One of the first things I noticed is that it…read moredoesn't have the strong chemical smell that many salons do, which makes the experience much more comfortable. The chairs are comfortable, and the staff is always friendly, professional, and welcoming. They genuinely seem to enjoy what they do--you can often hear them laughing and having a good time while still providing excellent service. The quality of their work is consistently great. I appreciate the bags that line the tubs to make it clean and safe for us. The staff also speaks English very well, along with other languages, which makes communication easy and is something I really appreciate. Another thing I love is that they usually accommodate walk-ins. I've never had to wait long, which is a huge plus. My only criticism is that on a few occasions I stopped in just to have my gel polish removed, but I was told I would need to pay for a full manicure even though I only wanted the removal. I wish they offered a standalone gel removal service for customers who don't need a manicure. I also think the prices are higher at this salon than others in the area. Overall, I highly recommend this salon. The excellent customer service, positive atmosphere, and quality of their work keep me coming back. Keep up the great work!

This is actually the second time this has happened to me at this salon. I first visited a few years ago and had a bad experience, so I decided to give them another chance. Unfortunately, the quality was just as poor this time. I expected my nails to last at least a couple of weeks, not fall apart within a day. I spent my money expecting professional service, but the results were unacceptable. I would not recommend this salon based on my experien
