Harbour Nails & Spa

I’ve been here 3 times and I think they do a great job with my nails. My gel manicures seem to stay on longer when I get them done here. Shawn was great and she took her time putting the gel on with a thin layer (but enough for the pigment to show). I appreciated that she didn’t rush. One thing I would suggest, which seems common in most nail shops, is to have all the staff to be mindful that there are customers in there to relax and they don’t want to hear constant conversation, especially in another language.

Terrible. In the middle of a pedicure and a haircut came in. They put me on hold in order to do the haircut for the other client. Then 20 mins later they came back to paint my toes. Do NOT recommend

My friend and I visited on a Monday afternoon, which was slightly busy considering it was the week of Christmas. Nonetheless I had three technicians working on my gel manicure at different times, which extended my stay. With this came lack of hospitality, and a shortfall of precision and detail to my nails (dead cuticles weren’t sufficiently removed & the nail polish was bumpy). I will not return.

My mom and I go to Eva. She actually greets you and will listen to you if and when you want her to focus on something (Color/​design/​massage/​scrub/​etc.) She also gives a great and timely hand and foot massage (not half ass). For the most part the salon is clean and well maintained, I dont live in the area but am willing to make the drive for the amount of availability they usually have.

I really like this place. They have the best prices in Elk Grove and they do really good jobs. Clean, friendly and affordable.

Came in with my daughter to get pedi and gel nails, that went good and went to get my sons to get hair cut it was 2 older ladies that gave them a haircut asked me how I want their cut done so I pointed at the picture they have on the wall within 5 mins ladies was done and nothing like the cut that’s on the picture I asked for, they shouldn’t put those pictures on the wall if they can’t do it. short fade, the lady rushes and didn’t even take time to look at it just keep asking me if that’s ok, of course it’s not because they’re spots and uneven. When I tried to tell her she had an attitude after. I guess you get what u pay for, cheap cut cheap results. I Rather pay 15 – 20 $ for a very nice fade for my sons. NEVER GOING BACK FOR HAIRCUT. SORRY BUT TRUE.

This is the only salon I have been coming to for the past four years to get my nails done.
I come in for a mani and/​or pedi every 2 – 4 weeks and have never had any kind of negative experience with them.
Christina, the owner and manager, has been fantastic from day one and gives the best manicures!
Also Cathy, who’s worked there for a long time (since the beginning I think) provides good customer service and nice pedicures.
The salon is clean and relaxing, with nice décor and pleasant instrumental music playing in the background.
I really look forward to my pedicures because I can just sit back, relax, and de-​stress for 30 – 40 minutes.
Many thanks to Christina, Cathy, and the other girls =)

Love this place! Me and my sis have been here twice and both times the service was really nice. My sis always gets her nails done while I always opt for the basic pedicure which I love because it’s not as pricey but still comes with a buff and massage. I think the service really depends on who you get, which is why I didn’t give it five stars because I feel like the second time was better than the first. But both times were better than average!
So many colors to choose from!!! It almost makes it hard as a customer if you don’t have something already in mind! Their French manicure is also nice but is $ 5 extra. Will be coming here every time I’m in town!

Been here couple times just so I have a solid review. Each time I’ve been here, I always felt like they were rushing and not doing a good job. There’s one lady who also rushes, but somehow she still gets my manicure right. I always forget to ask for her name! Unfortunately, this time, I did not get her. When I came in, they weren’t busy and more than half the workers were just sitting around. If they have nothing to do, why didn’t they start on my manicure while I was having my pedicure done? By the time I was done with my pedicure, more customers came in, therefore, they were rushing my manicure! So inefficient!

Love this place! Kathy does my nails (gel) and she is amazing! Perfectionist and always does great job! Everyone there does great pedicure. No especially does great massage!

This is a great place to get your nails done. They just got some new gel colors. They have more than enough to satisfy any color you want. The new colors have matching gel and regular colors, so you can match your fingers and toes!
Sometimes they let you know it’s okay to come down, but the wait is longer than they say or its busy — but it’s worth the wait.
They sometimes play the music to some hit Broadway tunes.

I just walked out of this nail salon and was really impressed with the detail and direction they took. It’s affordable and the nail techs care about how you feel about your nails. I got a pedi and a mani. The place was full of people but they were timely and didn’t make people wait too long for service.

I’ve been to this salon a about 4 or 5 times now and I can say that the previous reviews are not lies. The staff can be really rude and rush your pedi or mani. The only person I will EVER go to is Le. She’s great at acrylics and gel with a great design. ($ 35 total). The lady who took of my acrylics was very old and was shaking while ripping my nails off… I would ONLY go here for Le.

AMAZING nail salon!!! Great service & prices. The staff really do great work. They’ve got a huge selection of regular colors and gel colors as well as regular polish to match their gel selection. Love that they’re open late & are so friendly & accommodating.

Love it here. You have to find the person who is right for you. I used to see another lady but she is no longer with Harbour Nails. I met Kathy when I needed a white tip pedicure before a trip. My nails lasted the trip plus two months. I had outgrowth but they never chipped. When I get my pedicures I make an appointment with Kathy.

I AM LIVID. I went in today with my friend to get my nails off and she got a pedi. I’ve been a loyal customer here for a while but started only coming here to get my nails soaked off because they are cheap $ 5 for it plus they are rude as hell and can’t do my nails the way I want ever. Christine refused an easy design awhile back that’s when I stopped getting my nails done here. Well my sister had written a review a while back and I was shocked about their treatment towards me they left me in hot acetone for 2 hours my fingers were burning and I was upset at how long it took because usually it takes 20 minutes. Christine the evil bitch of a boss will yell at you infront of customers and not speak to you privately. I had enough and walked out without paying and my nails looking like crap.

Love this place!
My mom started going here probably over 5 years ago and offered to take me to get mani’s and pedi’s one day and I now go here as my regular place even though it is not that close to me. I could probably go to 10+ other places that are closer but i would rather go to a place that I know is consistent.
The women in here always remember us and ask how certain events in our life went. I even went here with my maid of honor the day before my wedding to get mani’s and pedi’s.

I believe I have found my manicurist at long last!
I came to this salon two weeks ago with the hopes that someone would rescue my horribly thick and fading fiberglass nails. Not only did Laura do a fantastic job with transforming my terrible manicure into something beautiful but made them manageable to wear, considering my job is cashiering. Needless to say, I returned 2 weeks later on 10÷20÷14 to have my nails redone by Laura.
Laura is friendly and easy to talk to. Most importantly, she is very attentive with her work. Laura included me through each step of my full set and was the beacon of patience with me and my indecisiveness. She does not snatch my hands nor manhandle me through the manicure like so many other manicurists have done with me in the past. Instead, she pauses and tells me to relax my hands and fingers so she can more easy maneuver through the manicure!
She also has a lot of fun creating designs and requested that I bring her something more «fun» for her to do. I’m so used to simple color combinations and minimal designs that I never bothered with anything extravagant. I will be more out of the box next time and give Laura the challenge!
I can’t forget to mention that this place is very clean and has cute decorations. The music and atmosphere is so soothing that I sometimes nod off during my manicure. Prices are very reasonable too, considering that I paid a bit more at a salon across the street and got a fraction of the quality I get here at Harbor Nails.

It’s only been how many days, the gel manicure is lifting from my nails because she wouldn’t let it set after each coat.
The lady who did my manicure rushed and did a horrible job! Waste of $ 65 dollars for gel mani and pedi!
I will not return to this place. On top of that, it is super overcrowded. There are too many pedicure chairs, nail stations, and barely any square footage in this place.
I advise not to get the waxing services. The lady double dips the sticks!!! My eyebrows don’t look clean after; a lot of stray hairs left.
They roll their eyes at you when you tell them to get the stray hairs. The wax pot is flithy!!!
I have no problem reporting this place to the board. If the wax pot is filthy and they double dip the sticks, guaranteed nail tools are not disinfected.

So I’m here at the salon updating my review. You would think given my last review I would have avoided returning, but alas out of desperation and proximity in walking in the heat, I’m back!
I intended with my daughter to get a gel manicure and basic pedicure. Upon seeing the price for gel mani ($ 30), I changed my mind and opted for delux pedicures for both of us ($ 22 each). Since having returned from the Aloha state, our feet were in need for pampering.
The leg massage with the exfoliating scrub was satisfyingly long enough, however I wish she was a bit more aggressive. She seemed to be a timid one (not good for my type A personality!). I also wish she spent more time with the stone on my heels. Walking in slippahs (flip flops) for the past weeks have not been a good look for the bottom of my feet!
However with all of this, she did a pretty good job with my toenails; they are so pretty!
