G-nails & Spa

My review needs to be 10+ STARS!
Went this evening to get my nails filled… and I could not be happier. I too have been to numerous salons in Davis– and G Nails are by far superb in many ways… The atmoshphere is so peaceful, their pedicure chairs are so powerful and amazing, they are clean and sanitary… But the quality of my nails… Just blows any salon in Davis and the surrounding areas away.
All staff calls you by name, multiple times when doing your nails, and they appreciate your business… I have never been to a salon when this happens… Its a multi-​generational kind of love! The owners know my daughter, my mother and grandmother… All of us girls love them… But I see men in there all the time. one gentleman said after his «King Pedicure» — My feet feel like pillows cause they feel great and are soft! Haha this was very cute :)
If you want to look good for your hunny… or if you are trying to spoil your hunny… OR if you want to look good and feel good, call G Nails! They will hook your nails and feet up like never before! Promise!

I had the worst nail experience today. The male owner decided to use a «new and natural» method in my acrylics today without even asking me first. He basically dipped my nails into the powder. Not only did this make nails look thick, chunky and unnatural but it took over two hours because he had to spend such a long time filing them down and they still looked awful. I had to come back for him to paint them because it took so long and he did an awful paint job. All in all this was not a good look for my nails and highly recommend you to see Tina and never the make owner. He was rude and unapologetic and was not accommodating to my concerns.

By far the best nail salon I’ve been to, Keith did an outstanding job with my nails. When I showed him the picture of what I wanted he knew exactly what to do and it ended up looking better than the picture, extremely pleased with the results,

Just moved to town so I was a little wary of trying a new nail salon. However, this salon greatly exceeded my expectations. I came in with very old acrylics and at the nail technicians recommendation, i had her remove the old acrylics and give me a fresh set. It took exactly an hour for her to remove and replace the nails and it was only $ 30! Very reasonably priced in my opinion. She was very gentle and very very detail oriented. The quality of the nails is excellent. I really can’t stop admiring them!!! My only complaint is that two of the nails appear slightly crooked (but BARELY noticeable). I am overall extremely happy with my nails and will be back again and again! Thank you!

I have recently started getting coffin-​styled acrylics, and I have found my go-​to place in Davis! Keith is the person I ask for. He always suggests what’s best. I went in to take off an old set and put on a new one, but he said my nails were fine and he would just seal any edges lifting and it all worked out! It was less expensive than what I asked for too. I have experienced great customer service and I love my nails and will continue going back!

Best nail salon in Davis in my opinion, super friendly and always leave satisfied and feelin great about my fresh gel nails, and at a great price too! They can be busy sometimes so call ahead or give a yourself a decent time frame… LOTS of gel colors to choose from, about 400 and working up to 500! If you’re indecisive like me, go there with something in mind or you will have a real hard time deciding on color (s)!

This is the first gel coat I tried. I opted for the French manicure and it looks lovely.

I get Pink & Whites done by Tina, who is amazing, but wanted to do something a little more fun. For my birthday. Since I was going to Disneyland, I wanted my nails to make Minnie proud. G-​nails is the best place to relax and treat yourself!

Got my nails done for the first time after moving to Davis by Tina at G nails. Fiberglass overlay, matte black with nail designs, needless to say, my nails came out beautiful! Better than I expected, which is rare because I am super picky. It’s a family run business tina, her husband Keith, and her mother (didn’t catch her name) are all great at what they do. They take pride in the quality of their work. I didnt feel rushed, they took their time to get to know me and worked to a level of detail that is rarely seen in the hustle and bustle of busy nail places. Tina has an eye and steady hand for making cute nail designs. I’ve lived in many different cities ranging all over bay, and in the valley from Roseville to Sacramento, so I’ve had many different nail places… A lot of trial and error, so I am so glad I found G nails. I will definitely be a returning customer.

Came here for my first time after seeing great reviews on Unilocal.I didn’t have an appointment, I just called five minutes before and asked if they had an opening and they did! I was helped immediately by Tina. She is amazing. My nails have never looked this great and she is so friendly. I got a full set done. She took her time to make sure my nails came out nice and I liked the length. I showed her a picture of how I wanted my nails, and she did an even better job. I’m definitely coming back in three weeks to get a refill. If you come, get Tina! She’s great.

Absolutely love this place! Been here a few times here and there over the last 4 years, and always left completely satisfied. There are also like over 500 colors to choose from, and they’re conveniently organized on the racks by color shade. Today I decided to come back for a fill, and a pedicure.
I’ve been to many nail salons in Davis, and I have to say this place has the most affordable prices and they give great service. The lady who did my pedicure was very thorough and precise, and actually gave me a 10 minute wonderful massage. We all know every place claims to do 10 minutes, but only does 5… So I’m sure you can imagine my excitement.
I was the very last customer of the day, and my nails took longer to finish than the store was open for. But Tina still took her time, leaving my nails flawless. She made them look and feel like a new full set! Keith is awesome too! They’re both super sweet and funny.
This is by far my favorite nail salon in Davis. Looks like I’ll be getting my biweekly fills and monthly pedicures here from now on!

I’ve been coming to G St. for a couple years. They never disappoint. Amazing job. They all have tons of gel colors!!! Best Nail salon in Davis hands down…

Been comming for months now n all I can say is Amazing, staff alway nice talkative with you. They remember what you like an how you like it…

I ONLY go to one nail salon. For many many years now. I’ve tried out multiple places just out of curiosity and i never leave happy. Called here this morning just because I was in the are and I was in bad need of some nail lovin! The man who answered the phone said I could come right away. I came in and the place is so freaken cute inside! Very clean and so relaxing. They also do photography. I never got the mans name but he is so nice and he started with taking my gel polish off. So gentle! Then Tina took over and did exactly what I wanted! Took her time, and made sure my nails looked amazing. I will definitely be coming back here in the future! Love love loved everything about my experience. Thank you very much you guys!!!

This is the only place my daughter and I will go to get our nails done! Friendly staff, Super clean, and Affordable.

Wonderful paradise pedicure, 4 of us girls stopped in without an appointment and they were able to accommodate us quickly. The scrub, the mask, the hot stones all felt so good!

Amazing! My room mate and I came in for their standard pedicures and full set of acrylics.
The pedicures were super relaxing, they were really thorough with getting the cuticles cleaned and scrubbed really well. A hot stone massage was also included and heavenly. I got French tips which came out really clean and natural looking.
Full set was completely pain free, and they use a newer technique that doesn’t require so many harsh chemicals, so no smell and no burn. She used gel polish and combined two different colors to give me the pink-​ish nude I was looking for, as well as an accent glitter nail.
Probably my favorite nail place ever, really happy and will be making this my usual spot!

As much as I want to give this place five stars because I LOVE LOVE my pedicure. There were plenty of red flags that made me question whats up with this place. So let me illustrate my experience.
The moment I walked in, the place looked clean, organized, and the selection of nail polish was excellent. They even had my favorite color: OPI Dulce de Leche! I was very excited to see it on their cute apple nail-​polish rack. Wyn or Lyn I don’t remember her name exactly, seated me. She was an excellent pedicurist. The massage that she gave me was probably the best one I have received from a pedicure. I requested the basic pedicure, which included hot stones and a hot towel. This was so relaxing, can’t wait to try their upgrades. Wyn did a great job painting and shaping my toe nails. I am telling you she is good at what she does and is super sweet
After all of this I am waiting for my pedi to dry, and the lady adjacent to me is getting a full on mani and pedi with two people working on her. Next thing you know the individual working on her mani kicks my sandals out of the way. ARE YOU SERIOUS? I couldn’t believe it, and to make matters worse he kicked them into some oil substance and now my leather sandals are stained. I wasn’t too thrilled.
At this point I am already annoyed. I go to pay and try to use the OptTown 20% off a pedicure discount. They tell me it is invalid. ARE YOU SERIOUS? As a business I felt that was extremely unprofessional because it is FALSE advertisement. They didn’t even match it. Maybe if I had made a bigger deal about it they would have but i just paid my $ 27 and left. Ps I think pedicures are usually 25 but i got a cute little flower design.
I do see myself coming back because of Wynn. I was just a little disappointed as a first time customer.

I first came here my freshman year, and ever since, i have never gone anywhere else for quality mani/​pedis and service. I came here because of a visit to another nail salon in davis (i won’t say where) completely botched up my french manicure and was so painful that I had to have the acrylics taken off ASAP. the lady at g-​nails not only carefully took her time to take off my acrylics without causing more bleeding, but also gave me a hand massage with hot stones and towels that made me feel better instantly, and my nails didn’t look as damaged as i worried they would be!
they have specials very often for their pedicures, i often get the tropical pedicure because it goes from $ 35 to $ 27 when they have specials going on during the winter. HIGHLY recommend their tropical pedicure, do it when they have specials!
what’s great about this place is that when you need your most recent manicure removed, they only charge $ 10. but if you get a new manicure done that very same day, they no longer charge for the removal, but simply the manicure. so instead of $ 10+$ 25, they only charge $ 25. great job on saving college students money on luxury.
massages-i’ve never gotten a massage here, but my friends have and they said g-​nails is great!
service-​great, they always make sure to ask how I want my nails filed, rounded or square, they ask me as they work on them if it’s to my liking, and make sure to ask if i see any errors before leaving.
cleanliness-​amazing, I never find any nail polish stains on the ground, I always see them clean the pedicure tub right after a customer has used it.
nail polish colors-​great selection, none of the nail polish looks more than a year old, they also have a huge variety of acrylic and gel designs

Came in wanting an entire pedi and mani treatment in preparation for my birthday. The spa pedicure is $ 20 and the gel manicure is $ 25. These are their prices after their 20% discount, so pretty much the same price as the other nail salons around downtown Davis.
Kim (?) did both my pedi and mani. She was very meticulous, going back to make sure that each nail color was opaque, and always making sure that everything was to my liking. Out of the handful of times that I’ve been here, this has been my favorite.
I’ve seen it get quite busy during the spring and summer, so make an appointment if possible, especially if you’re coming in parties of 2+!
