I stop here on a whim because I really needed a pedicure. My technician was a grumpy middle-aged man with visible tattoos. The whole interaction was awkward and uncomfortable and he seemed irritated the entire time. I literally felt like I spent $ 40 to get treated like crap. I will never visit this place again!!!

I honestly did not want to give any star at all, but is necessary. The first time I wen to this place I was impressed with the quality of the work done. I came back a few other times, but as they started getting use for me to go over, and over they seem like why didn’t care having me there as a customer. The wife was nice to me in the beginning, until she started to see me more often and often, but the day I was there for the last time was the day i decided not to comeback never again. She was working on my nails and all the sudden she left to the wax room to get somebody’s eyebrows done!!! she didn’t even say«excuse» or «ill be right back» SHEJUST left and leave my like idiot sitting on there for more than 12 minutes! The whole point of my review is for you to know, they DONOT care for you as a costumer they just want your $$ money. They are rude, and the equipment they use is not clean! Pay attention when you go! They pull tools out of the table’s drawers, where they are sitting and working every day 6 days a week for about 10 hours, I am saying this for you to think about how nasty the tools might be, pay attention to the buffer, and the nail filer have residues from other people’s nails.(yuk) They think they are ‘the place” but trust me we have better places in Marina to get my nails done with amazing service and CLEAN. I went a few weeks a go to Jualian’s nails, next to grocery outlet here in Marina and the experience is a 5 star.

Love my new nails and my pedicure! The whole experience was great, the staff is very friendly, they do a great job and they take their time doing it correctly. This is now my new go to spot for nails and pedicures.

So sad the grumpy lady that does the nails ‘Van, has a terrible attitude and she doesn’t know how to do designs and I mean; Dam; you can go on YouTube and learn how to do nail designs that are up to date; even buy a air paint machine to airbrush nails… That is, if you want to ‘really, have a professional nail business! But the lady that does the eyebrows is the bomb everyone loves her and she has a great personality her name is ‘Ha, keep up the great work Ha your the best!

Came by on a Friday(late morning) and they only had one lady working and one customer, and she asked me to come back at 4:00pm. Probably won’t go back.

Went in today for a gel manicure. I just moved to the area, so I am trying to find my new nail spot. Not all of my prior gel was removed, but the shaping of my nails was spot on. I brought a photo of a specific design I wanted done, and I was told it would be no problem. I made an appointment, but they were still really busy. The woman who worked on my hands seemed rushed. Sadly, I realized after I left that there are fibers under the gel that are visible. The texture is bumpy(in areas where there is no design), she rushed the application of the top coat which slightly smeared the design, and the polish ends before the edge of my nail. My nails look okay until you look up close. At $ 25 + $ 7 for the design, I am not thrilled. I will continue looking for a nail place I can rely on.

To start, I honestly have NEVER given a nail tech more than $ 10 tips after my nails were done. but I broke that promise today. I live in the area, and I have always walked by this place, and was curious as to how their nail services are. I read several reviews, and looked at the photos before agreeing to myself that I would book an appointment a week in advance(right after finals!) My appointment was at 9AM and I waited for several minutes until they opened up. As I walked in, I noticed the area was well ventilated, clean, and aesthetically pleasing. The ladies(there were 2 working today) were nice, and the lady that did my nails did such a stellar job! I’ve been to several other nail salons in Seaside and Monterey, but this place takes my heart. The nail tech I had took her time, never cut me or caused me pain, and was very delicate with her work. One thing new that I noticed was that this nail salon does not use UV Lamp Nail Polish Dryers. They used fans instead, which of course takes longer, but is much safer because your skin won’t take any UV damage. At the end, I only paid $ 20 for a job WELLLLDONE!(Which is super affordable for college students like me!) Long story short, this will be my new go-to place. I cannot wait to reccommend this slice of pie to my friends.

They are great here! I get gel french manicure and Ha does my nails fast and perfect and the prices are the best!!! Patient, gentle, clean and did I mention the prices??? Lol. I was living in San Diego and paid a lot more. I highly recommend them!

I’m so happy I found my new nail spot! Ha did a great job with gel french manicure and pedicure. Super friendly and paid attention to detail. I loved that she didn’t rush even when customers came in and requested her — she made sure they knew there would be a wait and they could schedule an appointment, which most of them did. Pedicure was probably the best I’ve ever had since she gave an awesome leg and foot massage. I’ve gone to nail spots where they’ve cut me and made me bleed since they’re in such a rush to make that money. Not with Ha! No blood, no pain, no hard sells on upgrades. .. . I love her! — Highly suggest calling in to make an appointment. — ATM/Credit Cards are accepted but they do prefer CASH for their tips

Always good service. Does a great job on my nails and they’re good about keeping everything sanitary. Love this place. Only downside is it’s hard to just walk in anymore because they’ve gotten very busy and i’m bad about thinking ahead to make an appointment.

I would give Bao at Aspire Nails 10 stars if possible. I’ve been going to Bao for at least 15 years, followed him from Monterey to Marina. He is an absolute Master at nails. Every single time they are perfection. Although I only go to Bao, I know his wife Julia, sister and Van are phenomenal as well. Their business is like a second home to me. Always clean and welcoming. Highly, Highly recommended!

Still coming here! I even moved to PG but will make the trek to Marina for my Julia! No need to look around– she is the best on the peninsula!

I’ve gotten both a pedi and mani and they do a great job. I used to go to seaside but I think I found my new nail place. On top of that they are affordable compared to a lot other nail salons but don’t skimp on the service.
