Venus Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Atwater, California

They will definitely rip you off. I was given a quote that was not honored and was left to pay way more that was expected at the end of service because of whatever reasoning that swayed their advantage. I first got a pedicure and was told to only add five more dollars to get a better service. Only to realize that she didn't even provide the paraffin soak because she forgot to. But, I was definitely charged $50. Then, the fill for my nails was supposed to be $65 because he claimed that they needed more "attention" and "cleaning" and some BS about it needing to "take time". These, by the way, are my natural nails. Well, I waited A LONG TIME for him get to me and once he did, he didn't ask if I wanted my nails cut down. He proceeded with the French tip fill I requested and only took about 20 minutes to complete. At payment, he charged $85 because he said my nails were "too long" and needed more attention. Mind you, he SAW my nail's natural length BEFORE working on me and NOT ONCE did he say he was up charging me for ANY TYPE of length. Also, he never asked if I wanted it cut down, because he obviously wanted to charge me for the long length. DO NOT go to this establishment, they will probably try to charge for the air you breathe. Spend your money ANYWHERE ELSE. I frequent lots of nail salons (Bay Area to Vegas) and I have NEVER been this disappointed before. I wanted to try somewhere local-ish, but still haven't found one to be worth my time and money. I should have read the reviews here on YELP before going to this horrible establishment. I agree with Deborah V.... Avoid this place like the plague. This business reeks of desperation and disgust. read more

I should start this post by saying, I have natural nails. I went into Venus Nails to have gel removed, acrylic overlay placed on two nails that were cracking, shape and paint my nails. A young man said, "No problem." First, he told me the only way to remove gel was with a Dremel. I don't know any different because I only use regular polish. I have since found out this is not true. You can soak them off in Acetone as well. The Dremel not only takes off gel but layers of healthy nail and weakens your nails. He did not take care when trimming my nails and would not file them the way I instructed him to. His response was, "If you don't like the way I do your nails, you can leave." I left. This is the way Venus Nails treats their customers. Young man, I hope you read this and learn something. 1) Not everyone has fake nails. Therefore, you must handle real nails differently because they are not as strong as acrylic nails. 2) If you want to keep a customer, treat them with kindness and respect, even when you don't agree with them. Venus Nails, I wish you success in the future, but I will never be your customer again. And I will tell all my family and friends to avoid you like the plague. read more

Wanted short square nails and this is what I got. A male staff did my nails. He was very rough and pinched me many times with the drill. He was rushing and skipped many steps I noticed. He did not push back the cuticle or clean up that area at all. He just drilled off natural shine of nail & went straight to glue nail tips and acrylic application. I wanted a darker pink for the acrylic base and even showed him a inspo pic. He said the dark pink looks better on dark skin and that light pink looks better if your light skin. I disagreed and he continued to only show me light pink color shades. I felt very uncomfortable and I should have left. Idk how this person is certified to do nails if he can't do nails correctly. Unpleasant experience I will be going elsewhere for nail services. read more

My appointment was very rushed. The man doing my nails asked what I wanted and then kept trying to talk me into something else. The acrylic doesn't cover my full nail on multiple fingers.

I had a very disappointing experience here. The male nail tech was rude from the start, even telling me the color I chose didn't match my skin tone and should have picked another color. 2days later I had to return because the nails was already lifting and trapping food and dirt. Instead of fixing the issue, he told me there was nothing wrong and refused to address it. When I asked to have the nails removed since he wouldn't fix them, he said I would have to pay and continued to be rude. Very unprofessional and not the kind of service you expect when paying for your nails. I will not be returning and would not recommend this place. read more

This is a run down out dated salon. The employees are friendly enough however for the most part they are not up to date on their services. The guy who did my finger nails was totally out of touch on what should be done. I asked him to remove my acrylics and give me a manicure. He was messy and running back and forth between me and two other customers. Every color of polish I chose was not the color of the actual bottle of polish, I finally settled for a clear polish. The manicure was the absolute worst I have ever had. I had to file my nails when I got home and add more polish. I also had a pedicure the lady who did this was ok I am sure she did the best she could. I do not recommend this salon unless you want to just throw away your money, in my case in threw away $99.00. read more

Index finger I once loved this place So we head off to girls day for pedicures and nails- The very next day the mail started lifting- Head back and ask for a repair only to be told it will be a 90 minute wait! Also- if you are a fan of using your credit cards for your points and miles- DONT go here! They prefer cash only and the lady will argue that the cost is too high to charge it. Bye Venus ! Will miss my pedicures with Kim but fire the old man in the back station read more

I had the male tech and he was horrible. I went in for a fill, my acrylic was pink but he insisted it was white and I'd have to remove it to have pink. I told him just put pink over it and if it doesn't look right I'll add pink nail polish. He didn't seem happy about that. I told him I want my nails cut and he cut them super short smh. I could tell he was irritated. I wanted a design on 2 nails and when I showed him a stem with purple leafs he said "oh no I can't do that" so I told him I'd get it done elsewhere to just put the clear. read more

just wanted to come on here and vent...the nail techs do not listen to you when you tell them how you want your nails done. They are not experts they are horrible...the have attitude problems when you give them your honest opinion of the job they did on your nails. Just look how they sent my girlfriend out of their business. please use caution when going here for your nails so this same thing doesn't happen to you!!!!! This experience has been irritating as hell. They do not deserve your business read more

This is a very clean and comfortable nail spa. I have been going there for years and always left satisfied. Linda's pedicure and manicure is the best one I've ever gotten. All of the staff courteous and helpful. When I leave the shop I really feel like I have visited a spa. Very professional service. read more

I found it very suspicious when I finished getting my service done they did a horrible job and I did not plan on leaving a tip but once lady took my payment i preceded to ask for a receipt she took way longer and made some "changes" on the machine then printed my receipt but with a 2 dollar tip and well as their card fee. All for a basic pedicure which ended up causing me more discomfort and pain. Down to the slapping of my feet when it was supposed to be a "massage" to them over cutting my toe nails and skin causing me to bleed and then spraying alcohol on them!!! NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

I just received a $45 pedicure, which was supposed to remove my callus and also cuticles on my toes... all I can say was he did a half a$$ job, did not remove my cuticles or calluses properly which really sucked because Venus Nails used to be go to place and I don't think I'll ever be returning there. read more

Let me start by saying I have never been to this salon before. I'm a new student at the university and I have a nail salon I swear by at home. I discovered a new place in Atwater that I tend to go to, however, my "new" place was closed when I came back yesterday morning. I frantically searched yelp for a nail salon open on a Sunday and I came across Venus Nails. I was a little skeptical considering the reviews and the amount stars, however, I was blown away. I called and asked if they had any open spots for an acrylic gel fill and they told me I could come in right away. I got to the salon and I was warmly greeted and they began my nails immediately. They have a large variety of gel polishes, and their polishes are one of the highest quality polishes I have ever had used on my nails. My technician, Kim, made sure to ask me how I felt about the shape of each nail before moving on to the next. If I had any concerns regarding the shape, Kim was happy to fix it. When I was having my nails filed down, a bit of my finger began to bleed. Kim immediately treated the wound by sterilizing it and applying pressure and asked if there was anything else I needed. At Venus Nails, a gel fill costs only $25! Additionally, they give out stamp cards (2 for each visit) and after 8 visits, you get $15 off your next service! Venus nails was extremely welcoming, efficient, and fairly priced. I highly recommend you come check out the salon before being scared away by other reviewers! I have attached their prices to this review. read more

This salon does not give the service requested, only does a partial job when it comes to pedicures as the technician hurries through the service and doesn't complete all phases noted on the service menu. when using a credit or debit card, they add the tip without your knowledge. they don't ask if you'd like to leave a tip, they just add the tip themselves. they are THIEVES!!!!!! read more

Worst service!!! The woman at the front desk is very rude and unprofessional. I brought my grandmother in to get a mani and pedi. As my grandmother is getting her callus removed the lady from the front desk comes over and dramatically snatches the tool from the woman currently working on my grandmother. Then she looks at me reaches for my phone tells me not to record, I watching a show on my phone. I inform her that she is unprofessional and she walks away without apologizing. The women who worked on my grandmother were sweet but I will not be returning due the woman at the desk. read more

My mother in law went to make appointments on the 29th for the 3rd the lady that she talked to told her she had to call back closer to the appointment and the guy wasnt there that she wanted to have her nails done by. She called the day before and made it for 1. Went in at 1 the next day and the older lady was rude and the guy didnt have us written down and scheduled 3 people at the same time. I got seen right away and the guy wanted my mother in law to come back at 3 for him do her nails. My mother in law told him that when she goes to a nail salon she likes seeing only 1 person. She had to wait an hour to have her nails done which still wasnt done by him. They were a different color then what she originally had. 1 person ended up walking out because she accidently dropped a bottle of nail polish and wanted her to pay for it. My gel fell off on Wednesday and my mother in law called the lady thursday morning and told me to come in after i get out of work. They had at least 9 people working and 3 customers having pedicures done. They asked me who did my nails and i was never told her name and told them where I sat and the lady that has the section of the table told me that they don't recognize me. She rushed to get my nail done and hurt my skin around my nail with her rushing. She didn't put a blue under the green glitter that i picked out, theres a section that you see just my nail and you can see my nail through the glitter. My mother in law called when I got home and told the manager that my nail wasnt correct and that they wanted me to come in the next day and have it redone a 3rd time and at that moment my mother in law was told that they were really busy. I highly don't recommend coming here to get your nails done with how we got treated and how bad they did our nails. read more

there are no words to describe how awful horrible this place was. i went in with my mother and my cousin for pedicures. keep in mind it was a rainy SLOW day. So to start off the person i had was an older gentleman, he was extremely rough on my legs when massaging, he left my nails CROOKED no matter how many times i told him if he could straighten it out he would shake his head as if it was a bother. THEN he did NOT clean the edges correctly which eventually led to my gel polish chipping off within 2 days and lifting. As for the second person who worked on my cousin, who id say was more middle aged, did NOT take his time. i want to say he took 15 mins MAX. I really hate telling anyone how to do their job cause who does really??? but she asked for a specific color and they had none of the colors which was more of a lilac color, and she would choose a different that were similar to it and they had NONE of them. So that led to annoyance. OH AND he also didn't clean around the edges and proceeded with aggression as well. so overall experience was a -10/10. The person who worked on my mom however wasn't as bad, but my mom did have an ingrown toenail and you'd think they can help take it out but the lady actually made it worse.. the crazy thing is is that the 2 guys were RUSHING and there was nobody else but us 3 and that definitely isn't the vibe. i wanted to be calm and relaxed but i felt tense and almost like i was a bother there... anyways. never going back. do what you want with this information. read more

Just left there. No one greeted me when I walked in. I sat down. 5 employees working on customers. No plexiglass dividers. 5 other customers in waiting chairs. After 5 minutes, I asked another customer how long she'd been waiting. She said an hour. I walked out. Ridiculous. I went 1/2 mile up the same street, was greeted and sat in a pedicure chair within 2 minutes. read more

The lady who did my pedi was amazing!! We went to pay with a gift certificate and because it was from 5 years ago they would not accept. There was no expiration or anything posted saying you have to use it within a timeframe. Very disappointing. We won't be going back!!! read more

I had an appointment for a pedicure and a full set of nails. I arrived on time and waited over an hour before they were ready for me.. others that came in after me got called back before I was.. the lady Flower that acts as the front counter person is ALWAYS rude. Not once have I been there when she has been even half polite. She acts like you're bothering her by being there. God forbid you ask her a question.. I swear she kills the whole vibe. I wish there were more places to go in Atwater. The only reason I come here is because I like the guy Vince to do my nails. Otherwise I would NOT come here. read more

If I could rate 0 stars I would. The nail technician rushed to the fullest and messed up several times. Also, I left with my nails bleeding and sore. Some were even crooked. Towards the end I overheard another worker mention the person doing my nails had wanted to go home. He only spent 20 minutes on my nails. Definitely not what I paid for. read more

I'm not sure why this place has low ratings but I've gone twice for a fill and they do a great job. I had been previously been going somewhere else for 2 years and the quality of Venus Nails is far beyond. Great job! read more

Absolutly horrible!!! Wish I could give zero stars. My seventeen year old daughter has been here twice, once for a full set (which looked ok I guess, definitely not worth the $35 she spent on them since they had several smudges in the polish) and the second time for a fill, which looks awful! She asked to have her coffin shaped nails shortened a bit and now they're just square. Her cuticles are beat up and her nails are incredibly uneven, they're lumpy as hell! And she asked for powder pink and ended up with pepto bismol . For lack of a better description, they look like shit! I can't believe they would let a client walk out of their door like this. Really wish I could get my money back! read more

I went in today for a manicure/gel. He put my hands in water for like two seconds and then began to cut my cuticles while the other hand was in pure water. Then the gentlemen looks at my nails and tells me that I just had my acrylics removed. I responded and said "yes they are very fragile". That being said I would hope for him to be gentle but it was the opposite. He filed my nails harshly and then did it again after the gel was on my nails. He didn't massage my hands or clean them up. I have polish on my skin near my nails. He cut me and made me bleed, yet they charged $25. I like to try new places but I'm never going again!!

Had received a couple recommendations but this place is below expectations. My daughter visited this place the week before and has a beautiful pedi but mine was horrible. Maybe they were over booked.

Pedicure- they were too rough with filing nails they used the drill which cut the skin on my toes. They did a half fast job and weren't even busy. I chose a light pink color but the lady said it was to light so she applied a greyish purple color. Wtf? Foot massage was her just lathering my feet and legs in lotion. And to top it off they did not remove any of the dead skin on my feet. Like seriously had to get another pedicure the very next day. NOT THERE! Never again Also the lady at the desk was completely rude to another customer who came in due to peeling gel polish just two days after the manicure. read more
