The service Lily gave was very satisfactory. The owner designed the decor so beautifully. It has chairs that massage you . The decor is lovely, and they massage your feet with a frangranced towel. My husband said the manicure that Lily gave was very satisfactory. read more

First time and that will be my last. I got a gel pedicure which some of my toes weren't even painted correctly. Super rushed, this is the first place I go where they don't do regular care for your heels. Massage was prob 30secs to 45 secs tops. I was super dissatisfied, as someone who gets pedicures regularly I will not be going here. I am newer to town so I was hoping this would find good service & a nail place to go to regularly. read more

The absolute worst service and pedicure of my life. So rushed. 30 second massage. It was rushed and you could tell they just wanted you in and out. And my 5 year old daughter didn't get any massage or cleaning and was charged full adult price ! Will NEVER go back. So sad. read more

Safe to say will not come back again. Worst nail job I've had. Payed $60 for a fill. Extremely disappointed.

One of my favorite spots in SM. The deluxe pedicure is a great deal and feels amazing if you get the right technician. Plus, they really listen to your needs without pushing upsells really hard like other salons. The music is good and tv usually has something serene and relaxing playing. Plus, the owner is the most inspiring boss babe... can I be her when I grow up? read more

Will not be coming back. I will make sure i tell everyone i know not to go there! read more

Loved the work they did! Very gentle and my nail work is perfect. Non of them are crooked or slanted. The only reason I don't give them a 5 star is because I waited 1.5 hours to get my nails done. Lucky for me I waited in a relaxing massage chair. There were only 2 employees and 4 people ahead of me. I got gel on my toes and hybrid gel on my hands with oval shape. Love them!!! read more

Came to visit from out of town & wanted to pamper myself. I stopped by another nail salon up the road & was treated so badly, i walked out. no services were done. I decided to look up other places near by & i seen this one with outstanding reviews, so i stopped by. I didn't have an appointment, but the moment i came in i was greeted with such kindness. I got a pedicure with allie/abbie (i didn't catch her name & i got a hybrid gel set with lisa. They did such great work, i am very pleased with my results. I will be coming back here when i come back to SM. Thank you VIP nails for treating your customers with attention and kindness, you've gained a new customer. read more

I've been to this nail shop many times and received great service but not this time. The person who did my nails acted like she didn't want to be bothered. She skipped steps and in less than a week my actual nail is chipping, my cuticles are dry and cracked and they feel super week. Terrible service!!! She calls herself the boss. What a terrible example. You won't get my money again! I also got a deluxe pedicure by another technician...it was okay. read more

I will not get my nails done anywhere but VIP Nail Salon. The atmosphere is so refreshing from other places. It's peaceful; tasteful or soothing music is usually playing. Staff is polite with great sense of humor it's not an always silent sit unless you want it to be. I've never heard staff yell or scream across the salon is a very chill setting. I bring in a picture of what I want (design/shape/etc) knowing sometimes it may be too difficult or something that may be out of their skill range but I have yet to be disappointed. The deluxe pedicure is worth the extra cost it really is an ultimate foot spa treatment. The massage chair is so relaxing. I get compliments on my nails constantly. I have gone 3 weeks without chipping or lifting - I needed a refill bad but wasn't in town. Worth the wait!!! read more

For years, I've loved getting my nails done at VIP. The last time I was there they did a great job with my gel manicure and pedicure. However, I was really disappointed and honestly a little grossed out at how dirty the equipment was :( When I put my hand in the gel lamp, I was unpleasantly surprised by all the grease and grime I felt on the bottom plate. It was so bad that I had to try and place just one fingertip on the plate to keep the lamp on while avoiding touching all the grime. I was disappointed because it seems like such a quick fix, to wipe down the plate after each customer. Other than that, the service was good, and my nails looked great! Sadly I don't know if I will return just due to lack of sanitation :( read more

If you haven't tried this place out yet, do it. Great hospitality and kind workers. I called to see if there was space available the day before Christmas Eve and they took me in within 15 minutes, even though they were busy, so the service was great. The nail technician that did my beautiful work is Jasmine. I love her work and that is an understatement she did an amazing job she took her time with my nails she allowed me to pick the colors that I wanted and did exactly the design that I asked for. I didn't feel rushed I didn't feel uncomfortable she's very gentle with her work and she pays a lot of attention to detail. Overall I found the experience in this salon to be amazing. read more

This is a great nail salon. Everyone is friendly and professional. It's best to have an appointment if you are wanting services on Saturday morning but they will fit you in as well. They do a great job and are very conscientious about their work. It's well worth the drive from Buellton for me! read more

Door said opens at 9:30am Saturday. I waited finally someone showed up at 10:10. She told me she had an appointment and I sat waiting for another nail tech to arrive. The first woman proceeded to sit there waiting for her appointment which never arrived. Finally another nail tech showed up who can only do Regular polish. It is now 11:15 and am still waiting for my pedicure to be finished. As the First Women proceeds on taking walk ins instead of finishing my gel polish so I can pay and leave. She tells me wait 20 minutes for her to be done with a SECOND lady who WALKED IN AFTER ME. Reason I didn't leave because I am already going to be charged $20 for my pedicure without nail polish or cuticle trimming(second lady wasn't able to do that either). If I leave I will be charged another $35-$45 just to paint my nail and cut my cuticles. read more

Appointments are not honored here. I called in the morning to request an appointment and explained I would be on a tight schedule. I was assured this would not be a problem. However, when I arrived in the afternoon, on time, I was told they were running 10 minutes behind. That 10 minutes turned into 35 minutes. When I asked why there was such a delay, I was told that several walk-ins came in right before me. My thought is, "save a spot for me, I'm the one with the appointment!" read more

I've been a loyal customer of VIP nails for over 10 years. Today I made an appointment for 2 o'clock. I got there promptly and was made to sit for at least 15 minutes while she seated other people. Most of these people she was seating were walk ins. I know they were busy today but I felt like someone who just walked in off street. It was obvious that Lisa could care less about me. I feel I should have been sat within 5 minutes of my appt. I went directly across the street to another nail salon and got right in with excellent service. I will not go back to VIP Nails and I want Lisa to know that she lost a very loyal customer. read more

Lifting after one week. Very bummed about this. My nail tech shaped my nails so beautifully, cuticles were trimmed nicely, and there were pages and pages of unlimited nail colors to choose from. I had thought I'd found my go to salon. Then to have lifting happen in one week? Disappointed to say the least. Not sure if I'll return... read more

VIP Nail and Spa - Lifting after one week. Very bummer about this. - Nail Salons Near Me - Santa Maria, California

Well...Overall they do great work and always have enough staff to accommodate you! I just think that paying an extra $3.00 to take off your existing gel when you're getting a gel pedicure is NOT necessary! I have NEVER heard of a salon doing that?? Have you?? It's part of the service and should be included right?? The employees kept trying to justify it! I agreed and said I understand it's what your boss told you to charge; but you're just taking advantage of your clients by charging this! They looked stunned and kept trying to be funny. Well..Lisa the owner was there and just went about her business as if she didn't hear a thing! Really? Whatevzzz!!! Not that I'm cheap; I just don't like being taken advantage of and I think they are doing this because of all the business they lost out on because of Covid. Again...the consumer pays ultimate price! read more

I made an appointment for a REGULAR manicure and pedicure, which I have always had at VIP Nails for years. When I walked into my appointment I was asked to pick up my color but I ALWAYS bring my own. I sat down for my pedicure and the technician (who is not the one I usually have do my nails). A few minutes after she started she asked me which kind of fragrance like. I was confused so I asked her what she meant and she said "for deluxe pedicure). I told her AGAIN that I just want a regular manicure and pedicure. When my nails were finished she asked me to pay. I asked her how much I owed and she said $50. I asked for what and the manager came into the conversation and told me I had some additional service that I was nof aware of. I told her I was never asked to add anything on to my manicure and pedicure. The manager told me I owed the money because I let the technician perform this service. I still don't know what service that was. Both of the technicians that normally do. my nails were not available. So, I said * usually pay $32. The regular salon price was $35. I always bring my own polish so that is why I pay less. I talked to the manager and she said I could pay $40, which is the new price. I told her I usually pay $32 because I always bring my own polish. I still have no idea what the extra charge was for. All I know is that that I made an appointment for a regular manicure and pedicure but the technician was quietly trying to add in more services. I told her I usually pay "32 because I bring my own polish. She said the prices was now $40. Neither of the people that usually do my nails was there. I paid the $40 and gave the technician a good tip,. It I will never go back there, not just because of the prices but because of the dishonestly. Neither my manicure not pedicure were professionally done. It was a waste of my money and being on Social Security I cannot waste my money. read more

I love Lisa at VIP nails- she's been doing my nails for about 5 years. So happy she finally opened her own salon. My nails rarely lift and she doesn't leave a gap between my natural nail and the nail she puts on like at other places I had gone to in the past. Her nail designs are so beautiful- I always get compliments on them. She can do any design I bring her a picture of. I'm not sure about other nail techs but I know the man who was mentioned in another review is no longer there. I would recommend making an appointment with Lisa if you are looking for someone to do your nails. They also offer facials, waxing, pedicures and eyelash extensions. read more

My mom booked for us to get mani/pedis together as a special treat to get us ready for a bridal shower that was being thrown for me a couple days later. Although we had reservations, it was extremely crowded and we still had to wait 30 minutes even though 5 manicure chairs were open. The staff was incredibly rude throughout the whole process and gave absolutely no verbal direction. Once the pedicure was almost through, we had o remind them that we were getting manicures too (since that's what we booked and told the gal at the front), and they proceeded to rudely yell at us for not telling them sooner! Everything was so rough, with them filing so violently it tore up skin on the tips of my fingers from them missing and scraping my skin with the file. On top of all that, they put lotion on our hands & feet before polish and it was slathered on so carelessly that the nails were covered in lotion and not wiped off before painting. So, of course, the polish started peeling off the very next day! Absolute waste of money. I ended up going to the store and redoing them myself for my mom and I. If you're considering going to this place because they're cheap, I would recommend spending a little more elsewhere to get nails that will last long enough to get your money's worth and to be treated properly by the staff! read more
