CA Nails

Clean, super nice new massage chairs — I hate to give a bad review when I see employees working very hard ! Unfortunately, my tech was lacking technical skill. The skin around my nails and skin under my nails were cut in five different places — two of the cuts deep and are continuing to hurt to put pressure on! Which sucks, and shouldn’t happen. My tech was absolutely a hard worker and I mainly just felt bad that her talent was over shadowed by the painful abrasions. Facilities were clean and everyone was pleasant — just got cut a lot and wish it hadn’t happened ! Unfortunately won’t be returning

I recently moved here from Florida & I’m very particular about who does my hands & feet. Well after 3 months of searching & bad experiences, I finally found this wonderful nail shop. Everyone is very nice & the shop is immaculately clean! I don’t do acrylic nails so when I saw they offered a healthy manicure, I jumped right on it. My nail chipped & when I went to get it repaired they did it for free! Awesome customer service, they have a customer for life!

My daughter and I went in to treat ourselves to a pedicure and we ended up having one of the best pedicures we have ever had! Though we were not served cold water, we had our feet pampered with a thorough pedicure which even included a wonderful foot massage. These people are so sweet, hard-​working, conscientious, and genuine that it would be nearly impossible not to like them! Thank you, Sunny, for making our day!!!

I came here twice. The first time one of the younger guys did mine and my friends nails. I got a repaint and she got gel and he did so good. He was nice and talked with us. We were both happy. Today, my mom and I went and I told my mom how awesome the service was and how nice they are. Well, slap in my face. This time, a lady did my nails. I told I wanted oval nails and she did some sorta of nail that wasn’t oval and wasn’t attractive. I told her I didn’t like them and she got mad. She said I didn’t know what oval was and what she did was «oval.» I showed her a picture that I got from pinterest and she grabbed my hand, rudely, and started doing it again, rough. So I told her I didn’t want them anymore and to just stop. And she gave me attitude. Finally, one of the other ladies came in and offered to so my nails. She tried to work on them and make them better but the lady before messed them up so bad that she couldn’t do anything. So they sent me to one of the guys, I’m guessing the owner, and he worked on them. He did better. He made them more square than oval, but they weren’t bad. The lady that first did them would go near and rudely say «those arnt oval!» She had the worst customer service. When it came time to pay, they still charges me the $ 25 for my nails and it took them double the time. If you go there, do not let the little asain lady with a short Bob with glasses do your nails. She is rude and just because of that lady, I will never go back.

I wouldn’t even have given it1 star. They’re a tad rude and place was dirty. I was in a hurry and saw it. I would look around.

Go see Don at CA NAILS to make your nails Happy! They’re the very best in Santa Fe and they’re fun people!

I am on vacation, My girlfriend and I wanted to «feel better» So we go to get our Hair Trimmed/​Cut.
We walked in, and had to wait about an hour, 7 people ahead of us. We go, grab some lunch… By the time we got back everyone was cleared out Angel was my Stylist, My girlfriend Mindy, had Debbie. Both girls had Beautiful Hair (of course)… they work at the salon…
Just wanted Angel G. to know how wonderful, she was. For us to walk in, 1^st time here, She was Professional and Informative. I was EXTREMLY Impressed with her!!! Oh and My Hair Cut… Looks Great. The best part … is, I Feel Better!!! Thank-​You, Angel G., If I’m ever in town again, and need a fast fix, I’ll be Back.

If you need a quick pedicure They were good. Good price. Equipment was older. They can do better like Offer something to drink. Nothing special that would make you pick them over somewhere else. There was 3 of us and the treatment wasn’t the same procedure for all. They can do better.

I loved it here. This was my first pedicure so I have nothing to compare it to but I enjoyed it. The workers were all very nice and the place was well kept. It was pretty busy but they got us through in under an hour. (5 min wait time, tops) the chairs were awesome because theu massage you while you sit. Overall very happy with the experience :)

I got the deluxe pedicure. they took us in right at closing The tecnician was Tiffany. it was awesome. My wife was happy with her pedicure as well. I will be back.

Great cheap pedicure! My pedicurist gave a very good massage, better than most inexpensive nail salons I’ve been too. The only reason I’m not giving a 5 is because I wish it didn’t seem to go so fast.

Coming from California, it’s been difficult to find an honest nice cheaper place, they are professional, sweet and have that concierge feel. Love love love them! I got a full set of gel for $ 35 :)

If you are looking for a cheap pedicure then this is the place to go. I paid only $ 27 for a French Pedi, which is really cheap. The service was pretty good. There were 3 of us going together on a Friday and they seemed pretty busy, but we got right in and all had chairs next to each other. All of the nail techs were friendly and did a decent job on our pedis. I would have preferred to have more scrubbing on my feet to help get ready for flip flop season, but it was still fine. It’s been just over a week now and my toes are starting to chip, but I didn’t really expect much more than that.
They did have water temperature problems, which was annoying. First my water was so hot I couldn’t stand it, so they just turned on cold water until my water was pretty much just cold. When my nail tech came over, he realized the water was cold so he let some out and added warm, but by that time I had already soaked for 15 – 20 minutes.

My friend’s 4 year old daughter went with us to the salon that day and she also wanted her toes painted. When we mentioned that she also wanted her toes painted the nail tech told us that her 12 year old daughter would do it for free so she could get some practice. We were completely fine with her painting T’s toenails, but then the she started clipping her toenails with the big toenail clippers. We asked her to stop several times and that if she wanted to file them that would be fine, but we did not want her to be clipping the toenails with clippers. She ignored our request and continued to clip, until my friend was very blunt with her and said «No, no, no, no… I only want you to file and paint them. DO NOT clip anymore.»
If I am back in the Santa Fe area, I highly doubt I would return to CA Nails; but, if I lived there and was looking for a cheap, quick pedi then I would give them another go around.

A big ol’ fail. I went to nail time a few weeks before and got a killer gel manicure. Then, I gave this place a shot because they are cheaper. Brought a picture of the nails I wanted (super easy, one color with dense glitter on the bottom that gets lighter as it moves up). Could not get anyone to actually tell me whether or not the could do it. I’m not a nail connoisseur, so I kept asking, «please, just make them look like the picture.» Language barriers are usually a breeze, but the ladies were crowding over me talking and laughing. I kept asking, «hey guys, what’s up? Ya talkin’ bout my nails? Is something funny about my nails? What’s going on?» Awkward smiles. That’s what I got out of those questions. And some pretty shitty twelve-​year-​old looking nails. Even my boyfriend said they were rough.
Nail Time all the way!
