Nice Nails

My grandmother and I went here today and I have to say it is the worst nail experience I have ever had. When I arrived and picked out my color I already had in mind what I wanted. I picked out the perfect color and a man began to paint them (I have acrylic nails and it was gel polish) I noticed the color was far from the one on the sample and more like the one about 2 colors below. the man did not speak English so I told the owner she said «it will fade» so I assumed with the gel light it will fade giving the benefit of the doubt. it did not. again I asked «when will it fade» she told me In the sun and so I asked how long she said not long. the man continued to paint and I really did not like the color going onto my nails after asking again she said it will take about 4 months straight in the sun to look like the sample color because it was out in the sun. she should have explained to me it would take a while before putting it onto my nails.
to add to this today, 4 days after I got a new set a nail flew off while I was opening my car door. I do not recommend at all!!!

Amy Tommy and Yen are AMAZING… I AM 35, and been going there since I was 21!!! Tommy does an incredible pedi… Yen does my nails PERFECT! When people are ALWAYS complementing my toes… even in a grocery store, you know you got it right!!! xoxo Tara

I see Mai and have been for 3 years! She does an excellent job with acrylic nails or gel manicures. I like Yen’s work too! Both very sweet ladies and they make sure you are happy with their work!

I only went here because my work paid for it, right off the bat the lady rushed me to sit down, didnt even ask what kind of manicure I wanted till after she started working on my nails. Then she quickly files them which she filed them all crooked, then she did my cuticles and cut me. She then went to polish, when she got to the nail that was bleeding she just painted over the blood, she noticed I saw and was like oh sorry. My manicure took about 10 minutes maybe! No massage or anything! Again I only went here because my work paid, I will never go back!

I love this nail shop. Amy is so nice and funny it’s always an enjoyable visit at the nail shop. Yen is my favorite nail lady in the whole world! When I go any where else from LA to Sacramento my nails never last longer then two weeks and lift and look horrible! Not with yen, ever. They never fall off, never lift and can hold up for a month. I have been going for 8 years and I would never go any where else now.

I hate to give a bad review but feel that I have to say something for the sake of others health. I came here with a gift card for a mani and pedi before my wedding day. I received both, quality was below average to say the least. Later that night I woke up with itching on my legs, got into the light and from the knee down, and on my hands, was the most gnarly disgusting rash I had ever experienced myself (or seen) in my life! And right before my wedding day!!! Needless to say there were a lot of tears and I spent my whole honeymoon with my legs covered in the shade (in Mexico). I could’ve had a singular reaction, but if you maybe have sensitive skin, ASK what Ingredients are in their lotion and scrub. I don’t typically have sensitive skin so I was thrown off by this. But just ask. I surely will NEVER be back and would never recommend this establishment to anyone; EVER. Especially if it’s before your wedding/​honeymoon!

I have tried a few places and none compare, the price is great for the quality. I like getting acrylic and gel manicure. Yen does an amazing job. I like my nails thick and square, usually get color French tips and she never disappoints me.

Warning: the end of this review is kindof gross.
The good: The techs are friendly and professional. The salon went from deserted to insane busy and they tried to make sure I was taken care of, even though they had to switch around some of the techs. Im big on customer service. This is its saving grace.
The bad: I went in for an acrylic fill with a bit over an hour before I had to leave for an appointment. Sounds reasonable right? Wrong. The tech I originally got was slow. I mean gratingly slow. It felt like she was tearing my cuticles apart. When I said OW all she did was slow the sanding tool down and kept hitting the flesh as if I couldnt feel it if it was slower. Once the salon got busy, I was given a different tech when it was time for the polish to go on, but instead she had to redo the sanding from the first tech. She was faster by far, but even rougher. My polish came out lumpy, and some spots were missed altogether. Im glad it was my own polish so I can fix it. I think the worst part is that MORE THAN ONE of my nails is a bit tie dyed because the polish and my blood mixed before they could dry. Ew. No thanks. Not gonna be my new usual place.

The worst nail job I have ever gotten! Polish all over my cuticles. I wanted gel polish. They tried using OPI polish (because they couldn’t find the gel polish color I had picked out) with gel topcoat and said, «If it doesn’t work, come back and we’ll fix it.» It ended up wrinkling under the gel topcoat. I went back and they refused to fix it! Ended up giving me my money back! WHAT A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME!!!

Yen did a beautiful job on my nails. I’m very particular about my pink & whites and unlike most places, she communicated very well with me before starting so I would be happy, not complain after when she has to fix it. The salon could be more updated and clean but the service was wonderful. FYI– bring cash! They only have an ATM with a fee.

Worst pedicure I’ve ever gotten! I like pedicures to clean my nails and buff my heels. They spent about 60 seconds on each. They did however spend a very long time scrubbing my shins with an overly abrasive scrub. Didn’t even polish half of one of my toes. Offered scissors to cut my skinny jeans off because they were tight when rolled up. Very rude. Would not recommend.

I give Tommy 5 stars his massage was excellent.
However the salon could use cleaning and more eye appeal.

I have read these reviews and am a little shocked. I have found the service that YEN provides has been stellar! I have NEVER had acrylic nails last as long as hers, and they NEVER break. Like seriously — I go almost 5 – 6 weeks before coming in for a fill because I never have a broken one, and I can deal with the grow out. YEN is awesome. So sweet, always remembers my name. She doesn’t always remember that I like them more rounded on the edges, but I remind her as she is filing, and she thanks me for the reminder.
Yes, they do try to sell you other things — pedicures, waxing, etc. Just politely decline and they will stop.
I did have my nails done by Amy (the owner) one time. I do agree with some of the comments on this board — she hurt me, made one nail bleed, and they weren’t even or filed well. I was disappointed that I just didn’t come back to see Yen.
I have had pedicures here by different ladies and the gentleman that works here. All have been good.
I haven’t noticed a cleanliness problem, although I’m not really looking that hard. I’m in and out for a fill and that’s it.
The cash only is a problem and there is no sign, but they accept checks so you can avoid the atm machine issue.
I have always been charged the same price — $ 30 for a pink/​white fill. And while that might be higher than some places, again, I only need to go every 5 – 6 weeks!
If you go here, ask for Yen. She is the BEST.

I happened to be in the area and wanted to get a pedicure. There is nothing posted stating they take CASH ONLY. I wouldn’t have gone if I had known that. When it was time to pay they pointed to an ATM machine that charges a fee for withdrawal. Extremely annoyed, I got cash, paid and left. They charge way higher than most salons. It was extremely dirty. I would never go back. I wish I would have checked Unilocal before going there.

First and foremost, my review is aged, but appropriate. I certainly hope that the owner/​manager who was there THIS day no longer does nails:
No, No, and NO. I think I actually got the same lady another reviewer got. She was irked that I did not want the $ 50 nails, although the prices quoted changed by the minute, and were NOT what was posted on board.
I had my teenager with me. I had an old set I asked to be removed, and went for full set of acrylic. On nail 3, I started bleeding. She did NOT soak my nails prior to removal, and I literally walked out with TWO bleeding. I don’t mean slight bleeding like you get from an ingrown nail, I mean BLEEDING where I needed a kleenex to cover my hand.
I left, as in LEFT with NO service being done, and bleeding. There were 4 other women in there at the time getting some sort of service, and they looked at ME like I was nuts.
I also neglect to mention, the place was FILTHY! But I was in desperate need of a set that night, and well… had NO referral.
No, No, and NO!

This is for Long. I got pink and whites a few years ago by him, he is the most talented, professional, and kind nail artists I’ve ever met. Too bad he moved away:(. So Long, if you ever move back find me&do my nails!!:)

I never did write an update… Let’s see…
I had to call the the California Department of Consumer Affairs because I got a fungus on my right index finger. I still have it. If they want proof, I can pull the account number from my email… when I checked with the company about what they were doing about it, they were going to fine the salon. And I just feel like everyone should know about the cleanliness of this nail salon.

I had the worst experience here!
I was trying to find a good nail place since I moved from Elk Grove to Rocklin. I decided to try this place and was so disappointed. Not only did it take the girl a painful two hours to do my pink and white fill, but the nails looked terrible. They were too long, too thick and just looked wrong!
Will not be coming back

Amy and the girls are great. the reason they ask you about more services is because u may not know they offer them. Amy is great. their pedicures are amazing also. I drive from C.H. to Rocklin just to have my nails done by Amy…

It’s true they will do anything to make an extra buck but each time i’ve had my nails done there i loved them. ask for hanah if you do decide to go. although, everyone is nice in there.
each time she has done my nails they were perfectly shaped and all the nail lengths were even and straight when compared to others.
If it wasn’t for hana i probably wouldn’t return. It just seems gross to me when there is nail powder residue everywhere.
