Perfect 10 Nails & Spa

Jimmy is the best! But honestly everyone that works here does a great job. The absolute best thing about this place though is the the price! Finally a nail salon in SB that doesn’t charge an arm and a leg! $ 19 for a fill! I feel like I am in LA again! I will never go anywhere else!

This place is the best. They can do any bit of art you want, just make sure you have a picture and text it to them first, because I came 10 minutes late to my appointment and made them stay late, over 30 minutes, and had their whole family there, even their little 5 year old kid. They did the full works; it was their first time ever doing a peacock feather, they never made me feel bad about it for a second, also really funny, yet a bit of a language gap. I wanted to support a small business in Santa Barbara, I guess it’s been slow lately for them, so decided to do this Unilocal review because they totally deserve a bunch of new clients! They were fast, efficient and knew exactly what I wanted, the clientele is also amazing. They are true professionals and will cater to your needs.

Second time here & my nails look amazing. $ 35 for a gel manicure, took about 50 minutes. A young woman did my manicure, who really went out of her way to make sure they were even & well shaped. Jimmy painted & when the first sparkles at the bottom didnt look right, he suggested a different one to try without batting an eye. My first visit I got both a gel manicure & regular spa pedicure, costing about $ 90 incl. tip. Jimmy was chatty & funny. NEVER chipped in 3 weeks! Only took it off because my nails were too grown out. I was there for about 2 hours that time. Longer than I expected but undoubtedly great service. They have Monday & Tuesday combo specials. I think it was $ 23 for a regular mani & pedi and $ 32 for a spa version, but don’t quote me on that.

Came in to get an acrylic fill. Got my nails done by Linda. I get mine short and boxed on the edges. Pretty simple. My nails were short but completely rounded edges. Every time I asked her to fix it she rolled her eyes & look at the other worker in the store & say something. I have paint on my hands from her painting them. She cut me about 4 times on both hands. She was extremely rude. Oh and the best part was she only spent about 15 mins on my nails. Will never come back. So rude & terrible quality. Do NOT recommend.

I’ve been here twice with my teenage daughters. The staff here works hard and does a good job. The prices are reasonable and I like that they don’t upsell they’re services. One big problem: Both times I called a few hours ahead clarifying the number of people to be saved and the time we’d be in. Both times that we came, one or two of us had to wait more than a half hour to be served while the others were treated. They said wait five minutes but it was more like a half an hour. Bottom line: it’s truly a walk in salon.

This place cannot possibly be licensed. They have no idea what they are doing. Took 45 minutes to take my gels off, scraping away like my nail was a potato and they had a potato peeler. A girl with the worst nails I’ve ever seen on a nail technician layered on gel polish. It dried all lumpy. When I pointed it out she simply applied even more and said the top coat would fix it. It didn’t. Finally she got the owner and he took the polish off and told me she had put it on too thick. I told him he needed a fresh bottle and he said no. He put the same polish on and the same thing happened. Lumpy, ripply nails. By then I had been there 90 minutes and he had to take that gel off also. By then my nails had been stripped three times and I was out of time and patience with amateur hour. I offered to pay him something but he declined. Never said they were sorry. Filthy place with garbage on top of the garbage can, someone hacking up a lung in the back room, and an elderly man sleeping in a pedicure chair. I should never have sat down.

The people who work here are very patient and polite. Definitely will come for manicure next time.

They aim to please & have great deals! They do great nail art and will make sure you leave happy! I will definitely be back and will recommend this establishment to others.

Great expansion of S ‘n’ J Nails. Same staff and my favorite girl is here. Just more room = more comfort. Prices are reasonable as always. Great job.

Very satisfied with my experience here! Everyone is very nice and they make sure everything is to your liking. I got a pedicure and acrylic and the pricing is reasonable for santa barbara. Definitely would recommend coming here and will be coming back!

Always perfection w Mr Jimmy he’s always so attentive and makes me laugh while getting my nails done! He’s amazing at what he does

This place is probably The best price in town. Also, they do a good job and they are super clean. I recommend this place because it’s Santa Barbara and it’s hard to find good price and good service. A good place to take your girl.

If you’re about the acrylic nail life then you absolutely need to come here and see Jimmy. He is the acrylic whisperer. I seriously refuse to see anyone else — he shapes, fills and paints my nails like no other person on Earth. He really is the best at it. He always has new colors coming in and stays with nail trends like patterns, matte finishes and stuff like that. I always trust him to choose my nail color every time I change it too and he always picks the best color every time! Just go in relax and let Jimmy work his nail magic!
Also, the girl he has helping with pedicures and such is super nice and does a great pedicure!

Absolutely love Perfect 10 Nails!
I usually go for a fill and Jimmy always does an amazing job. The woman that does my pedicure always does a perfect job. Along with the quality of the work, the staff is very friendly. Very nice and quiet place to sit and relax.

My first time at Perfect 10 was a perfect «10»! I called to make an appointment on Mother’s Day and was invited to come in right away. Upon arriving, I was seated instantly at a massaging pedicure chair and Susie got to work on my toes. She was gentle yet thorough on my pedicure and the design she finally chose, she worked hard to perfect it. This is a nail salon that truly knows the meaning of exceptional customer service! I can’t wait until the next visit. Truly a spa experience! All they need now is wine.

typically I don’t leave reviews or give 5 stars, But this is well deserved. The way Jimmy does nails, is different than most, he goes above and beyond. I can honestly say he did a better job than anyone I have EVER gone to, to get my nails done. And I’ve been getting gel and acrylics since I was 13 (now I’m 23) .I had recently moved to the area of Santa Barbara &wanting to get my nails done, the first place I went to was perfect 10 nails. I’ll admit I was hesitant because of previous reviews, but I’m so glad I chose to go there. I have only worked with Jimmy there, but others I’ve seen working there do a good job also. Jimmy is great guy who will not let you down with your nails, and he will probably become your friend. Like he has to me:) I highly recommend this nail salon!

It’s ok. Went in for a quick gel polish change. Had to redo the Polish because it didn’t cure the first time so ended up not being quick. It still just looks OK as 4 nails have wrinkles. Charge seemed high since they messed up.

I was hesitant to come here after some of the negative reviews but I have all good things to say!
I called in to schedule 3 mani-​pedis and they told us to come in right away! We waited about 5 minutes before they sat each of us in the massage chairs and let our feet soak. It was about 5 minutes more and they began our nails.
They all did a great job and I left feeling very relaxed and very satisfied with the work they did as well as please with the Monday-​Tuesday discount!
Very happy to have found this nail salon!

Jimmy & Kelly, the nail gurus of Santa Barbara did it again! Perfect 10 Nails is brought to you by the folks of CNJ Nails Spa just located about a mile away.
I’ve been going to these guys for years and during my trip to SB I learned they opened up this new establishment.
I came in to get a shellac spa mani and pedi and was extremely satisfied.
The salon is beautiful and spacious with state of the art spa chairs, private facial room, and waxing room.
They use the best products like CND shellac, Essie, and OPI. They also use CND Stickey for base coat. This make the polish last for at least 8 – 10 days for me.
Kelly is extremely talented and super sweet. I love her!
They currently have a promo for students and prom as well.
Parking– street parking and also rear parking lot.

It is very hard to find someone in Santa Barbara to do acrylics. The first time I went in, I was very impressed with my fill. The second time, I needed my set taken off and a new set put on. The girl who did my nails might have been new, but regardless, she took almost 2 hours to do my nails, hurt me multiple times, and didn’t listen about the length I wanted. I got my nails done a week ago and the cuts o my fingers from her are still healing. I know there are some people here who do good work, but be careful who does your nails! Good prices though.
