Professio Nails & Spa

This place is my go-​to when I’m in Atwater.
They are always consistent and reasonably priced. I usually bring my mom here to treat her or when I am in a pinch and need my nails done while I’m in town.
I usually get a gel manicure and they do a great job. Pedicures are awesome, not many places use the hot stones and the massage chairs are pretty relaxing.

I used to come here quite often even though I didn’t always leave satisfied. When I got a pedicure, a guy started rubbing the skin of my foot like normal, until he started grinding the side of my toe (which was perfectly fine before), I yelled «ow!» Because it clearly hurt but that didn’t stop him. When he rinsed my foot off, this was the outcome. I pointed it out to him, he fixed it by spraying rubbing alcohol on my foot… When I told them the guy did this to me, he yelled and said my foot had already been like that. I now have a scar on my toe & will not be returning.

This was my go to place, but my last experience was horrible. I have a gel manicure and a newer girl who didn’t speak English and didn’t understand me drilled my nails down a lot. Then I was given suddenly to an older man to finish the job and he proceeded to drill my nails down more. I told him and he didn’t listen. After I had asked for acrylic and gel. He only did the gel. I believe they were very he busy therefore I wasn’t given much attention. After 3 days my normally strong nails are very brittle now because of this incident. They need to slow down and pay more attention to there customers.

Workers were in a rush did they did a simple pedi. When I bought the most expensive one. Didn’t get my legs or food massage. And I haven’t had a pedi in awhile! Please know I work hard for my money!

I had a good experience getting my pedicure here. I got Julie. She’s friendly and she did a good job. I hadn’t had a pedi done in a while and I could tell she was getting tired of scrubbing but she kept it up and got the job done. She left my feet nice and soft and without any ingrown toe nails. I will be coming back again

ok for being a lower end nail salon

I had my first bad experience here last week, an older man did my nails. I told him not to cut them, my real nails are very long and I was getting gel nails. He insisted on cutting them, told him not to cut them too short. He did anyways. Now FOUR of my REAL nails have broken off. He was in a hurry and didn’t do a thick enough coat. These are the worst nails I have ever gotten in the last 5 years of getting them done. Not sure if I will ever go back here, even though they were my go-​too. Staff is very nice but when somebody does a bad job because they are in a hurry, and does not listen, I will not go back…

This place is the best!!! They take care of me every time I’m here!!! And I’m picky!!! M. Steele

I have been coming to ProfessioNails for a couple of years. I had tried it one day when my regular nail place was closed. I have never gone back to the other place. ProfessioNails is always fully staffed and I never have to wait long. If you call ahead, even just an hour or so, you can get an appointment time and get right in. Jon usually does my nails. He does great acrylic and gel nails. I’ve also had Kathy do my nails and my pedicures. She is great everytime. Meemee has also done my pedicures and is wonderful! I’ve brought my daughters in and they have always been very sweet and welcoming to us. Kathy and Meemee do good nail art for my girls. I’ve never had a problem there communicating my needs; all of the techs that have helped me are fluent in English. The shop is clean and they have great sanitary methods. They have plenty of pedi and mani stations. They have a large selection of both polish and gel colors. I would highly recommend this shop!

Got a pedicure last week, I as very dissatisfied with the paint job. Very streaky and all over my toes. Didn’t say anything at first, but only five days later the paint started chipping off. So I called and asked if I could get a repaint because I was not happy with it at all. I talked to the younger guy over the phone. He told me that he will let me do it this time but not again. I agreed and made an appointment for the next day. He was not there the next day. So at the end of the repaint they wanted me to pay, and they thought I was crazy for saying that I talked to someone yesterday and they told me I could get a repaint. She just kept telling me no. Finally she just let it go. But you could tell she was pissed. I will never go here again. Horrible service!

Went on a Monday it was empty. Great service. The two men that did our pedicures where great and very polite. Place looked very clean. I prefer this salon compared to the other in town. The chairs are taller and more relaxing. I love the nail polish selection. I have called ahead previously on busy days to avoid a wait time. I have not had a bad experience here and I have had manis and pedis done by different people each time. DON gives a great foot massge! Overall great place!

These people are well rounded and service was great. Today, I got my eyebrows done here and I am very happy with the turn out. The lady that did my brows (fyi) mostly plucked from the root (which is ALWAYS good) and was really thorough and swift with the job @ a mere price of $ 8!

First off. I have never had my nails done before. I didn’t see the point of spending so much money on cleaning your toes. Oh, did i mentioned that i was a guy? yeah. that’s right. I’m a dude and getting a pedicure is just not in my nature. Man. i was wrong. I lost a bet to my girlfriend and my punishment was to get my very first pedicure. I hate to admit it but I enjoyed every second of it. I can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner! It was super relaxing and it felt so good. (An extra hr of foot massage pls.) I live in Merced so i wasn’t too thrill to drive out of my way to Atwater for this. After my first time here at Professionails… I thought the drive was totally worth it. My girlfriend and I went during busy hour on the weekend. surprisingly the service was quick and we didn’t have to wait long. Although the salon didn’t have an official receptionist but the owner Jimmy was quick on his feet and greet us right away. The crew was so friendly and talkative, even though they don’t speak english very well. However, I appreciate the efforts. LOL… I’ve taken my girlfriend to salons around the area in the past but Professionails is just way better. The salon is huge, very spacious, clean, they have many work stations and tons of pedicure chairs! Overall the ambient is just relaxing. lot of room and no clutter like other salons in Merced area. I love my first experience so much, i gave the girl that did my feet a big tip and even manage to book an appointment 3 weeks in advance! For sure will try to come back once a month. Oh. almost forgot. they have FREE WiFi and there a great little place next door for a quick bite (Jantz), their chicken salad sandwich is amazing… just FYI.

Will never go back. After sitting in luke warm water for 45 minutes, I got a half assed pedi from a man with longer finger nails then me! Painful! He kept scratching me, then I got lotion barely rubbed on and I was done. :(horrible service and nobody speaks english. I’ll not be going back to this horrible establishment.

I love this place the people are always helpful and nice they always do a great job on my pedicures I have been to all the places around here and they are the best

Absolute worst manicure I have ever had. The nail tech, Jon, used a grinder to remove my shellac nail polish after soaking my nails in acetone for 5 minutes. My fingernails have been ground down to the nerves on each finger and are sore to the touch. My nails are thin, brittle and breaking. I have never had such a painful manicure. I’ve never had shellac taken off like this before. Every other nail salon I have been to uses a technique of wrapping the fingertips in acetone with foil and then just peeling off the polish without any adverse, painful effects. This is terrible. I will NEVER go back to this salon, nor will I ever recommend that anyone go here (unless you want a painful experience). I also didn’t get a massage with the manicure. Whenever my nails finally heal and grow out and I can finally have my nails painted (probably months from now) I will definitely be going somewhere else!!!

Went in with two friends to get our nails done and we all walked out disappointed.
My acrylic nails had little bumps on them and in one you could even see the fake nail tip. We had to go back because as soon as we left because my friends nail polish smeared. they did everything in a hurry and didn’t even bother to check if her nails were dry. My other friend wasn’t pleased with her nails at all. the guy that did them did not do what she had asked. I’m probably not going back here…

Visiting Atwater for work and someone recommended this nail shop. The staff are friendly and the massage was one of the best I’ve received on a long time. Coming from Los Angeles were there’s a shop on every corner and so much business they don’t even provide the basic service anymore. It was clean and had new massage chairs. And not to mention the hot stone massage that came with every pedicure. Gold star Professionials (almost platinum)!

Walked in for a pedi and was seated immediately, always a good sign. Staff was very friendly, chairs were great and the massage with the hot stones was amazing. Cute nail art too =) I’ll definitely return… So, my next few visits weren’t so great :(unfortunately quality of service has gone way downhill
