Nails Advantage

I treated my daughter and mom for a manicure and pedicure. My daughters pedicure turned out really nice. My mom’s manicure was very sloppy. What concerned me the most though was my mom said they tried to use a used file on her nails. When she requested a new one be used they did. I am concerned about sanitary and hygienic conditions. Most places give the customer the products that where used on them. Trying to use a file that was used on someone else is unacceptable and disgusting. What other short cuts do they take? Also, it raises a red flag when a business doesn’t accept debit or credit cards. They have an ATM to get cash but there is a $ 1.50 charge. I will be looking for a place of higher quality from here on.

Ever since I moved to Rocklin this was the place I would go for a mani pedi and I would have given it at least 3 stars if it werent for my last experience. I came here to get my nails done FOR MY WEDDING which was a huge mistake because they turned out so bad I was embarassed to show my hands to anyone on the big day. A little difficult when people keep asking to see my ring ya think? Anyway I got a full set of acrylic nails I showed the girl an exact picture from my phone of the shape I wanted (almond) and a light pink gel polish. Well halfway through the full set I can see she is doing a square shape so I showed her the picture again and said that was the shape I wanted. I explained these were for my wedding and it was important they look good. She starts immediately speaking in vietnamese angrily to the girl sitting next to her (RUDE) and starts reshaping them which at this point required cutting the square edges off to make almond shape. The whole time she kept smack/​tapping my hand if my fingers werent in the position she wanted them to get me to move my other fingers down. When she finished shaping the nails I was not happy. They looked nothing like the nice almond I had showed her from the picture and were very crooked and uneven I asked her to refile them to straighten them out and she audibly exhale/​sighed to show her annoyance. I’m sorry, but when paying $ 85 for a full set with gel polish and a gel pedicure for my wedding I wanted them to look perfect but would have settled for at least presentable. Well they weren’t. The cuticles ended up jagged and uneven the and the shape was crooked. Additionally, when I went to have them removed at another salon the girl told me, without me even mentioning anything about the other place, that whoever did my nails last had damaged my nails by using the electric file too roughly and long on my actual nail. She said and I quote «they did a very bad job.» The pedicure was ok although I have strong reservations as to whether the place is clean. I give one star for the pedicure and zero for the full set and girl’s attitude. I will never go here again.

Danny is amazing!!! Does awesome nails and is very personable! Anne does amazing pedicures and I walked away so relaxed! Andy is crazy and funny as always everything I go in! And Helen has been doing my eye brows for years! This is my go to place for nails I have been seeing Danny and Helen for a while now!

This has taken me 24 hours to decide to write this review. I understand how a bad review can hurt a business. My sister in law and I were walk in customers yesterday for pedicures. She received an okay pedi from a man who never introduced herself. I received the worst pedi of my life from a woman who did not introduce herself. She filed and clipped my skin in multiple places and made me bleed. When I asked her to stop because I was bleeding, she instructed me to put my feet back in the water and they would stop. I then asked her to put gloves on. She said she was not worried. I had to insist on gloves and did not finish the pedicure. Terribly unsanitary and a huge health risk to her and all of her customers. I will never go back or recommend this place. I will include photos of my cut toes. I am a golfer and could feel the cuts to my skin when I played today.

I love this place. Super kind and fun staff. Danny is great and will also give you the best service. Amazing nails: long lasting, beautiful and quickly done!

I just want to start off by saying that the only reason this review has 3 stars is for Helen. She is an angel, and I don’t go anywhere else to get my eyebrows waxed. If it weren’t for her I would give this salon a negative rating. The rest of the salon pretty much sucks. Yes SUCKS. I used to get acrylic nails here for high school dances and other events, but after the last time I am only going to get my eyebrows done. 8 of my nails were bleeding during this manicure and not once did my manicurist apologize or even acknowledge the fact that I was in a lot of pain. I got all white nails and for the entire time I had them they were stained with my own blood, they were not cute.

Bad. On my third visit, I walked in on a Sunday about 12:40pm. I was the only customer in there. They sat me at a pedicure chair then this couple walked in and then they moved me down a chair to accommodate them. Then a few seconds after I got situated in the new chair (without being thanked for moving by the staff or self/​absorbed customer) they asked me to move one MORE chair down. I promptly got up said thank you and left. How is it that they have all these pedicure chairs but made me move to three different chairs, like a pawn?! RUDE. I went to Nick’s Nails just a block away. Wonderful, new and clean salon with HOSPITALITY.
My niece got an ingrown toenail from this place, since they don’t clip toe nails properly. She won’t be returning either. The employees here lack common customer service and business sense. Also, the salon has been in need of updating for several years. I will never return to this dirty, outdated nail salon.
We jokingly refer to this place as Nail Disadvantage.

I received the best pedicure with an added leg and foot massage by Anna. I highly recommend her.

They are just so sweet here. I have been coming here for 15 years and they have never failed to do an amazing job, even if they are slammed. Helen does the BEST eyebrows, and literally any of the other girls/​guys do the BEST nails. They take their time to make sure your needs are fulfilled, and if you show them a picture of what you would like, they try their best to do what they can to make you happy. The prices are typical nail prices, too, not too expensive but not necessarily cheap. They take walk-​ins as well, so if you forget to make an appt. and want your nails done randomly, they’ll take you in a heartbeat (unless they are too busy, of course.) Great quality!

Helen is so, SO sweet and is a eyebrow master! She is fast and gentle, and seems to know exactly what shape best suits you. I came in to get my brows done but ended up getting my nails done as well, by Danny. Very kind guy, and my nails look amazing.

I’ve never had nails look so beautiful and last so long! ! I will never get my pink and whites done from anyone else ever again. Danny is very attentive and did exactly what I asked for short pink and whites with a thick white line, ladies you know how hard it is to find a great person to do your nails. Look no further! Danny will do a great job and they will last long, and obtain beauty. What more could you ask for?:)

This place is absolutely the worst. Ripped me off all the past times I have been there, charged me $ 65 for a set of pink and white acrylics, while cutting me the entire time of the process! Never going to come here for nails again. The only reason I will step into this establishment again is for Helen to do my eyebrows. She is lovely and very good at what she does. This one star is for you Helen.

My nails look so natural. And the the fiber glass is NOT overlapping onto my cuticles. I got my 9yr old daughters toes and nails polished. The designs were cute but they could have done a better job on the polish. I still liked the place. Nice and clean.

This place is wonderful, I’ve had my nails done at alot of places and this one is the best. Anna does a Great pedi and manicure. I can go over a month without getting a fill and all my nails are still on, no letting. She does a great pedicure too. Denny does my mom’s nails and she has a allergy to a certain product that is used to do nails and Denny (male) found a product that she is not allergic too. Great place.

This is a wonderful place for monthly mani pedi’s! Its super close to my house and the people are very friendly and Helen is an eyebrow artist! She remembers me every time. I don’t recall the place being dirty so I can’t comment, but I have always felt comfortable there. As for the work that they do it’s better than any place around Rocklin, believe me I have done the leg work. They do a great paint job! I would recommend this place to someone who is looking to get in and out… my only gripe is they only take cash or check…

I don’t get my nails done here, but this is by far the best place I have gone to for my eyebrow waxing. I always just walk in, and the ladies remember me no matter how long its been. They work quickly, but do a great job, and for $ 10 you can’t beat it!

My 17 year old daughter went to get an acrylic fill on Feb 2, 2014 Andy did her nails when she got home she showed my husband and I her nails. He had cut her twice & the nails were uneven unacceptable in my book. I called to ask if they could be corrected they said have her come in on Monday Feb 4, 2014. She went in had them fixed within 4 days the polish started to peel off so I called on Feb 8, to ask for them to refund her $ & to take them off they said come in Monday Feb 9, no problem. My poor daughter went in they said we only refund half & we will not take them off we will charge for that. Then Andy said refund half your money $ 18 wait no here is $ 12 now leave don’t come back he said… I was so upset I called Andy said kids do things mess up the nails go review us & hung up on me. I am beyond disgusted with their service… Helen does our eyebrows I still recommend her. Andy was so unprofessional… We will never go back to him.

Location is Great! Staff is great! Prices great! Selection of colors (paint & acrylics) great! Nails and toes look great! Been coming here for years now and have never been let down! Nancy does my nails and I get compliments on them all the time. They last about 3 weeks too! Tracy does my pedis and she gives a great massage! Thanks Nails Advantage!

Nope. Just Nope. Dont even do it. If you’re thinking about it, don’t. Not worth it. No.

I usually see Miley who is really good and so very sweet… however she is out on maternity leave.
I will say that since she is gone for the now, I have ventured out to another location which made me realize how filthy this place is. I really hate saying anything bad because I have enjoyed my time with Miley, but probably won’t return even when she does.
The bathrooms are so dirty and the spa chairs are all messed up. You can feel the mechanics in some of the chairs which makes sitting very uncomfortable. The ground is also dirty and it just seems so unsanitary after going to an actual spa environment.
Disappointing because one, it’s a great location for me and two, I do adore Miley but I can’t see going back.
