Pro Darling Nails

I only come here for pedi’s and I only get them done by Carol. If you want a thorough pedi you must go to Carol. I’ve been coming to her for pedi’s for years. It will hurt but she gets it done! I swear my feet feel lighter after. Don’t expect a perfect paint job either, today I got French tip and it was pretty nice. Carol is awesome! I’ve seen many people over the years come to her just for pedi’s, make an appointment if you want it done by her.

Cons:
Customer service is non existent. My pedicure lady who I felt bad for had bruises all over her neck and chest she was wearing a pea coat to cover it up. My pedicure lasted literally less than 10 minutes she washed my feet then painted my toes. The pedicure was $ 18 which was a joke not because I am a tight was or anything but because my boyfriend could have done a better job and he’s never done a pedicure in his life. The atmosphere is beyond depressing I have a feeling it is managements fault. The girls here look abused and frightened. Not blaming anyone but I recommend people go elsewhere for a pedicure. She didn’t clean the tools or the foot bin or use liners eeek a little scary considering I work in dermatology.
Pros:
Lots of polish colors

Yesterday, my sisters and I came to Darling nail shop on Aborn. Very poor customer service, also they did very bad job, ladies there very rude, price charge higher than other places. I am not recommend, especially do not let the lady name Ana help you, she is very rude, personality is terrified

HORRIBLE! I’ve been here once and will never go back all I wanted was gel over my real nails white tip and I got nasty clumpy nails that weren’t even straight. I asked if she can fix them and showed her the nails that looked ugly and she (forgot her name, an older lady) aggressively yanked my hand and tried to fix it but this time did it even worse so I just let her keep on doing her job. after being there for so long I got tired of her rudeness and nothing was getting better so I asked her to remove all the gel and she still wanted me to pay for waisting her time…

I give it a negative star… The lady who did my nails kept shaking and the polish looks like crap… Then the eyebrow lady messed them up. It’s a horrible place to go

They’re Fucking scammers
I took off my fake nails only I didn’t even paint them or cut them and at the end they demanded $ 10

Horrible!!! My friend and i went in for a pedicure i got a french and he got just standard he paid $ 18 for a 10 min if that pedicure the lady basically just washed his feet and when she was done she just said okay move your feet over and got up and left to talk on the phone and my pedicure was just as bad i went there with an ingrown and told the lady it hurt she just ignored and started filling my nail down while i was in pain none of their stuff looks sanitary i seen the lady who «washed my friends feet» just rinse off the tools in water and put it back in bag needless to say day after i got a nasty infection where i told the lady i had the ingrown oh and to add to that get ready to just listen to all the ladies talk to someone else on the phone while they do your nails totally unprofessional

Obviously this place does NOT have their operating hours on Unilocal,so I called. I received the OK to come on in, and once I did they told me the place was closed, and to come back tomorrow. (I called as I was already on the way.) Although there are so many bad reviews, I decided to try this place out. I practically live down the street. So why not. First time walking in and it was already horrible. Glad I didn’t even have the option to get a pedi.

Came here for a quick manicure with some friends and let me tell you… I had already been to this place a few times before. The service is just horrible. I warned my friends before going in, but since we were looking for a quick Mani pedi we didn’t mind. We got seated all at once and the ladies started arguing and getting out of their seats and telling at each other in Viet, saying that «this place is horrible and we always have a long line waiting, we need new workers «it was unpleasant and irrittating! They also complained about us, saying if we keep messing up they’ll be here till morning. They were all just very rude and sloppy with their work. Never again.

I’ll give it an «ok» review. I personally liked my nails. The young lady who works there is very detailed. She makes sure it’s the way you like it. There are minor flaws. However, she was nice and made sure it was the way I wanted it. My friends however had a horrible experience. Their nails were uneven and within a week the gel started to crack. If you do go there, ask for the young lady. Everyone else is ehhh.

Who talks shit about their customers while they’re still there?
I had gel powder over my real nails and came in to shave them off and to get a regular manicure. My nails were long and I wanted it to be kept that way. Obviously some nails broke so she had to file them down. But who leaves one hand long and the other hand has a mix of short and long nails? After simply asking her if she could just file them all down to short and be the same length, she called me unappreciative because she took her time to take them off since I wanted them long and told me if I wanted it short I should’ve said that in the beginning. Then she goes off trying to argue with me saying I didn’t know anything and that my nails were thin and that’s why it’s short. All I said was to just file them the same length. She then starts cutting my other nails and filing them and continues talking shit about me in Vietnamese while I’m still there. As soon as she grabbed my chosen polish I just said forget it, don’t paint it. How much do I owe you for taking them off. I paid and walked off. Never coming back again. This is what happens when you decide to go somewhere other than your usual spot. Unbelievable.

Horrible! I was cut, bleeding, they were ugly and they even agreed that the lady messed up! I will never again come here! If I can give 0 stars I would!

Let me tell you about the WORST pedicure experience in my life, which will probably keep me from ever getting one again. I came into Pro Darling Nails as a new client, they are by my boyfriend’s house and I wanted to try somewhere new. When I walked in, nothing alarmed me. The lady asked me what I would like and I said a pedicure. She had me sit down and I waited. Well, then the horror began. When she was removing the skin around my nail she went in too deep, seemed like she was about to pick out my whole nail as well. But here’s the big «aha» moment. When she started cleaning under my foot with that scraping thing, she was so rough and fast that she cut me on both sides on my foot. By the heel AND the side of my big toe. I felt the pain right away but at the same time couldn’t believe it, until I saw it was bleeding. I told her, «you’re too rough, look you made me bleed», and she said «oh you move». At this moment I am thinking to myself «wtf are you serious». I am not going to pay for this. I felt so upset and disappointed. I asked if she has a band aid because it kept bleeding and she went and got me only one for my big toe, but didn’t seem to even care about what she did, and she just nonchalantly applied petroleum jelly on the side. Once she was done, she told me «okay $ 16», and I said «I have to pay for this? Look you cut me 2 times.» She said it was an accident and I told her I knew but still it was ridiculous if I had to pay. She didn’t seem to know what to do, and I asked if there was a manager. One lady got up and asked what happened. I explained to her that it was ridiculous that I have to pay $ 16, for being cut and bleeding. Plus it was my first time and It was not right. She saw that she couldn’t argue with what she saw and told me I did not have to pay and she apologized. It’s funny because her apology actually seemed sincere. The woman who cut me just kinda «half assed» an apology and seemed more annoyed because I put my foot down and said I was not going to pay. When I got home I cleaned it with antiseptic, and I really hope it does not get infected. At the end of the day, save yourself from getting hurt here. It’s not worth it, and it’s more disappointing because what I thought would be relaxing, turned out to be painful. Today I am slightly limping because the cuts hurt so much. You’ve been warned.

The worst HANDS DOWN THE WORST FULL SET IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. The shape is crooked. The color is streaky and blotchy. There is powder all over and glue all over. The price says 13 $ for fill and she charged 25 $. I would’ve been better getting a full set then! I only resorted to this place because everyone else was closed. NOT WORTH IT.

I haven’t been here in 6 years but needed a last minute gel manicure and pedicure. I remember why I stopped coming here. Carol did my manicure and was shaking the entire time. She got gel all over my fingers and said it was because my nails are short. I’m sorry but I’ve never had anyone else tell me that. I won’t be returning.

This is for Carol! Go to her if you want a clean pedicure! She does a great job! Deep cleans your nails :))

I went here about 3weeks ago for a stilettos full set, it was the worse experience. Not only they were unsanitary, they did a lousy job. When I came in they told me that its $ 16 &when I paid they told me $ 23. As the lady drilled down my nails she cut 3 centimeters of my cuticles &did not clean it or anything! She managed to continue drilling my nails as I told her that I am hurting. I am being treated by a doctor due to the infection. 1^st of all the drill looked used on by other clients, she didn’t remove my nail all of my polish and didn’t cut my real nails BUT applied fake nails onto my long real nails making it look janky. I left the store hoping someone else could fix my nails. It was uneven and jumpy, luckily Stephanie from FrenchNails in Cambell fixed my nails, I absolutely love how she does my nails. I am never returning to Darling’s.

My BFF Coconut’s favorite place for pedicure here. She took me here and now I come here for my pedicure only. These ladies took time to make sure your toe nails look perfect. they spend minimum 30 minutes on you. And if you come during the week, day time, expect 45 minutes of pamperness for ony $ 17, seriously cheap and good!
I love manicurist/​pedicurist JANET, she’s pretty awesome at Pedicure! I come here every 3 weeks and my nails look perfect every time!

The person doing my nails was grumbling in her language and doing her job she wasn’t talking to anyone but to herself and doing the job as though she did not like what she was doing. I do not recommend this place. Customer should be welcomed and should enjoy their experience. Mine wasn’t pleasant experience at all, I do not recommend this place

SOOO much talking between the employees here! Worse than most places!!!
I came here with 2 pinterest pictures in mind for my nails and toes. I got shooed to one of the pedicure chairs and showed the lady the pictures. She said she could do it but had me find the colors. There’s like 6 places they store their polish so this was not an easy task. The pedicure was alright. She kept throwing my feet around which was annoying. Watch it lady, I can kick you in the face! 2 seconds of massage and then she whisked me to her station. I found it very odd she didn’t put a base coast on my nails or toes! When my nails were trying she had me bring my foot up onto her lap and put the top coat on-​AWKWARD!
The oddest thing that happened during the hour I was here was this older woman who busted out in song. LOUD. Everyone in the salon looked at her and she just kept singing!
The banner out front said mani/​pedi $ 23 but she charged me $ 31. I assumed it was cause I had her do the design but she never even mentioned the extra charges. Typical!
UPDATE: My nails were completely chipped and disgusting 2 days later.
