Nail ZONE

Went there Sunday for gel nails. The technician was rough and when she was pushing back my cuticles she did not soak my nails or use cuticle lotion. It was all done dry, and she pushed so hard with her metal device that it was painful. Normally when I get gels they paint each nail on one hand then put under the uv lights. This technician did one nail and put my hand under the light. Then another nail on the other hand and put it under the light. So my hands when under the light 15 times each hand. I should have walked out but I didn’t. That’s a lot of uv damage for one sitting. I’ll never go back, and because of that in don’t know if I’ll ever get gels again.

Lindsay is so good and really knows nails. It’s s very Clean salon, good work, friendly staff! It appears that Most people are «regulars» coming back; which says a lot! I was leery of coming here as I had been when it was
and could not stand the rude owner. I’m so glad to see a whole new management and employees.

My biggest gripe is that they only take cash. There is no signage that indicates this and I was not informed when I arrived or I would have left. That is VERY inconvenient for me as I rarely carry cash and who has checks anymore??? The lady was nice enough and they use plastic liners in the Pedi bowls so they at least seem to be sanitary. When I was trying to pay… I was informed that they only take cash/​check. They pointed me to the ATM next door. It was not my bank and I NEVER use an ATM if there is a fee. (Personal pet peeve.) So… I had to go next door to Safeway (It was raining and cold!) and wait in line to get cash there. This made me super cranky and made the experience all the more annoying. I will not go here again.

Been going here for manicures and pedicures for over a year. Great service! They recently upgraded their equipment. Chairs are clean and comfy. Typically they are able to accommodate walk-​Ins.

I was surprised to see the negative comments here. I have been coming to Cindy for a few months for pedicures and she’s the best! I never have to wait, and all of the other ladies always greet me when I arrive. I have been to other salons, but Cindy is the best service I’ve gotten!

Michelle is awesome! She did a great job on my nails and she is very sweet. I didn’t feel rushed and she finished within a timely manner. I will definitely be going back to her!

Unfortunately I have to give this nail place a very low review for their service. It honestly felt like I was rushed the entire time I was getting mani and pedi. Also, my nail cuticle bled during the the mani process which was pretty disappointing. The ladies seemed to be nice but they kept yelling at each other or talking loudly that as a customer it made me feel really uncomfortable. In my opinion, nail salons should be serene where you can find some quiet time while getting pampered. It was the total opposite here. Def will not be coming back :(very disappointing … Location wise, very convenient, service wise — def not worth the price for the service. :-(good luck and hope you ladies reconsider offering better services in the near future.

This place is under new ownership so some of the bad reviews are old. It is very clean. I see Mary she is awesome, nails last with no problems 3 – 4 weeks, I do Acrylic and Gel. You must book out in advance to see her though. I had a pedicure there by Cindy she was good too. They only take CASH

If it wasn’t for Michelle, I wouldn’t come here any more. If she leaves I will too. She gets 5 stars, hands down. This is where the 5 stars ends .she is never late to an apt, always on time and great communication. Her work is perfect and flawless. I can’t give the establishment anything but two stars though, would have been one star of the ladies weren’t nice for the most part. I have been here with two clients now on two separate occasions and every single time I bring a guest we have to wait at least half an hour before we get seated even with appointments. One time we waited 45 minutes to then just sit in the chair for another 20 minutes. I was offended on one occasion by a girl when I was paying for all three of us and the girl said, «well how much tip on this check because you had 4 different girls help each of you.» Extremely unprofessional. When I told her how much the tip was, she was upset and started to speak in a different language then took my check and walked off. I spent over 250 for 3 people and tipped accordingly. Three weeks ago I made an apt for my sister and niece for us three. Got here and had to wait another ½ hour before we got helped and then same thing — sat in chair for at least 20 min before we got started. I have yet to get a pedicure treatment that didn’t take 2 – 3 hours. I just have a really busy schedule and I can’t spend 3 – 4 hours total to get a manicure and pedicure. Wish they would pick up their communication and honor apts. Extremely frustrating. They also won’t take debit cards which is upsetting. I understand some people don’t want to pay merchant fees but in a cashless society it is the norm to have at least debit payments. Looking into other salons for my pedicures and friends/​family/​clients apts. being nice only gets you so far when it is a constant pattern of service that has not been even good at best, except for Michelle. She is a 10+

Wow. Completely redecorated and all new chairs and stations. Fresh, elegant new look. Beautiful and comfortable. A bargain @ $ 40. for mani/​pedi. Luann does excellent work and is a nice lady! It’s a treat to come here.

Firstly, my friend and I had an appointment at 2:00 so we arrived at 1:55. We were yelled at across the salon asking what we were here for. After we had answered we were told to sit down and had to wait until 2:10 to be sat down at a chair.
Secondly, I requested a gel manicure with one glitter nail on each hand. The woman painting my nails did not know that another coat of a solid color had to go under the glitter in order for it to show up. Another women had to tell her, after she had already started. In addition, she also did an uneven amount of coats on the glitter nail. My right hand had two coats while my left only had two, creating a different color. Because of this, she did discount my manicure to 25 rather than thirty. Hence why I gave it two stars.
Lastly, they do not accept anything accept cash or check. This is not posted anywhere in the salon and you are not informed of this until after your manicure or pedicure has finished. They force you to walk across the parking lot to a chase ATM to withdrawal the money. Fortunately, I bank with Chase so I did not have to pay a service charge but I would be pretty mad if I had to pay for that because of their inability to post that they don’t accept credit.
Overall this place is just okay. They aren’t terrible but they aren’t that great either. Definitely been to better nail salons.

Very nice salon. Friendly staff & clean. Great selection of colors to choose from. Very convenient & reasonable prices. Only accepts check or cash & no debt cards.

Brought wife and sister in law in for pedicures. Friendly staff that attended to us right as we walked in. Good service.

I came here to bring in my 2 daughters (6&12) for a girls day! I was hesitant based off the reviews, but it’s right by my house so I thought what the heck. I was able to get a last minute Saturday appt at 2pm for all of us. When we walked in there was an overpowering smell of nail polish remover and various nail products. I asked them to open the door (which they did) and that alleviated the majority of the smell. All 3 of us sat together and had a nice pedicure. They even painted my daughters fingernails for free, with little designs! Their color selection was nice, and the pedicure chairs give a great massage! I wasn’t able to completely relax so im not sure how the massage was (I was too busy chatting with my girls) but I will say they were all very friendly and nice. The only thing that was odd was my daughters got the green scrub and I didn’t even thought we bought the same pedi. So in future i will just make sure they do the scrub portion because I love getting that done. I would say go in and establish your own opinion of this place. The reviews seem a bit off. They didn’t blast 80’s music and all the girls were super friendly. Like I said my only qualm was the overpowering smell and lack of ventilation, which they tried to fix right away. Oh that and they only take cash. I feel they should have this posted on the door, because it’s kind of bizarre to not disclose that up front. Other than that this is a great place and I will definitely return!

Decided to stop by here since I was planning on picking up groceries at Safeway. I was already aware of the reviews on Unilocal,but I needed a simple gel manicure removal and then paint with clear coat. As she began filing down the gel on my pinkie, she already made a cut. I’m sorry if I was picky today, but it was only supposed to be a quick easy removal. I should have known something was about to happen when most of her focus was at the salon, not what she was doing. Next thing that I thought was unprofessional was when she left for a few seconds to take a look at her colleague’s nail artwork on a customer. If it were me, I wouldn’t have left especially after she made me bleed. In the end, I paid my $ 20 but I couldn’t tip her. My pinkie stung the whole half hour. And her filing shape of some fingers weren’t great either. Lesson learned.

Awful experience! The place looks nice, but they blast loud 80’s rock music the entire time so it was not at all relaxing. Plus they yell/​talk to each other from across the room. The pedicure was disappointing, hardly any massage, and she was so distracted talking to the other gals that I felt forgotten in the process. My gel nail job looks terrible, it isn’t filled in all the way, it’s thin and thick in areas. I showed them to several gals at work and they were appalled. I’m going back to have them remove everything and start over. I am not paying for it!
So I just got back from my «re-​do.» Good Grief! I told them I was unhappy with the polish and the workmanship so they repainted my toes, they look ok. Then I asked for the gel color to be removed from my nails and I wanted to go back to the pink and white powder, she said «No, I will do pink and white gel.» What? Am I not the customer that paid $ 65.00 the night before? However, I was on my lunch hour so I complied. She (Tina) was obviously angry, she was working very, very fast and burned me several times with the drill, then filed my skin with the emery board! When I winced in pain each time she ignored me, never once said she was sorry.
Honestly, I’ve had my nails done for years and have never had such an awful, painful, and terrible job done by anyone. I don’t know if it was just the two gals I got (Tina did my nails, didn’t catch the other gals name). When I look around me everyone seemed to doing a great job, but I will NEVER go back. Good luck ladies!

I had an appointment and sat for 10 minutes, without anyone telling me how long the wait was. I finally asked how much longer, and they said another 10 – 15 minutes. I got up and left. If one has an appointment they should get first priority over walkins. I will not be going back there!

Im a hairstylist and was referred to Michelle by one of my regular clients. Every four weeks when she comes in for hair color her nails are different and absolutely beautiful. Sometimes simple and other time elaborate. I’d had so many bad experiences at shops by my home in Fair Oaks I was willing to drive 30 min to give Michelle a try and I couldn’t be happier. Because of my profession my hands are always in water so I’ve had problems with my gel chipping and acrylic lifting but not since trusting my nails to Michelle. I have naturally brittle nails so I have her do a very thin layer of acrylic with gel over top, she’s meticulous about length and shape as well as thickness. A true perfectionist. She’ll also let you know if what you’re asking for is doable instead of just agreeing to do something she’s not confident with. I can’t speak for anyone else’s work at the shop but my girls the bomb ;)

I get gel nails and a pedicure every two weeks and since I moved I have been trying different nail shops to find the best price, work, customer service, etc. This place has been the worst!
They lie about their prices and each time I have come in they have a different cost for each service. Sometimes they charge for a massage, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes a basic pedicure is $ 15 some days it’s $ 25.
Second they will literally make you walk across the parking lot to get cash. Because they don’t have an ATM? No, they have one. It’s because they don’t want to pay taxes.
Lastly their work doesn’t even last. After a week my nails look HORRIBLE. The gel is already peeling & I’ve had to file my nails numerous times.
Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else.

I have been coming here for the past couple years, and I see Michelle. She is absolutely amazing, as are many of the other ladies that do nails at this establishment. It is under new ownership, so a lot of the bad reviews are from the prior owner.
I highly recommend coming here!
