VIP Nail and Spa

First time trying this place and I am happy with their work. I’ve been going to another place in town for years but got tired of waiting forever and getting mediocre service. This place was clean, fast and professional. When they got busy they were honest with customers and asked them to make appointments and come back later, unlike other salons that make you wait forever. You definitely get what you pay for

I was looking for a matte color and it took me 2 stops before I came here. Service was great. Music was interesting. I went in to get an acrylic fill with gel with a matte finish. The work was outstanding and this will officially be my nail place. I definitely recommend it

Amazing!!! Every time my nails turn out great! My only issue has been that the price seems to change depending on who is doing it. Last month I was charged $ 35 for a full set, but today it was $ 45. The work came out perfect so I didn’t mind paying more.

My fiancé and I walked in greeted immediately. He wanted a pedicure I requested a full set and a manicure. We were seated right away and then began working on us. Vanessa did my pedicure she did a great job. David did my nails I love them the 3d art is amazing I’m 100% pleased with my experience. I would definitely recommend this nail shop to anyone looking for one in Santa Maria area. This place is hands down the best I’ve been to in awhile. Great atmosphere, very neat, very clean and wonderful Customer Service.

Love this place !!! Will be going back, most definitely. Fast service, very friendly people !! And not to busy. Sunday morning !! Thanks guys !!

The service here is great. Clean salon. They use a new liner for each pedicure. Tons of gel colors.

The WORST ever. I prefer having my nails short so I asked her to cut them but keep the same shape I already have. Not only did she not do that she also cut and filed them all crooked and uneven. She also didn’t buff them enough so I had jagged pieces sticking out from underneath which she put nail polish over. When I said something she started buffing over the wet nail polish obviously ruining some of them which she did not offer to fix. I got annoyed and had her take the nail polish off. She offered to polish my nails again after seeing how annoyed I was but between that and her ripping my skin from cutting my cuticles I did not want that lady near my nails again. Definitely will not be going back.

My first experience at VIP Nail Salon was excellent. When I called on a Saturday morning, I expected to be scheduled the following week, but they fit me in within 30 minutes. David was professional and friendly. He presented additional services, such as callus treatment, with their add-​on prices. All tools were brand new out of the package and the water bowl was lined with clean fresh plastic. At the end of the appointment, he gave me a ticket to give the receptionist and a package of four various files to take care of my rough feet. I don’t know if this is typical or if little gifts are tailored to each client, but I thought it was a nice touch. Overall, the salon has nice music and the atmosphere is relaxing. For the first time ever, I am booking a future appointment!

Anna did a FANTASTIC job on my nails. I would highly recommend them and getting it done by her! My new favorite place to get my nails done now !!

I was a walk in & they saw me right away. First great thing was definitely the energy of the atmosphere. Wonderful scented aroma greeted me as well as friendly good mornings.
The collection of gel colors were more than what I’ve seen lately on the central coast, and they actually wrap their pedi sink! I knew I was in good hands when I saw that. They also use brand new tools straight from the bag.
They did a great job on the toes and the massage was long & oh so good.
I have found my new go to nail place.
Ask for Lin.

Couldn’t have asked for anything better! Drove 40 minutes, and it was well worth it. The best service and nicest looking nails I have ever got done in the area! Thank you again VIP nail salon

I made an appointment and they were able to get me in the same day. I had a full set done by David and he did a fantastic job. They have over 30 colors of acrylic powder so you have options. I also got a basic pedicure and this is the only salon I have been to in Santa Maria that uses new manicure tools with each client. I highly recommend calling ahead, especially if you are going in after 5 pm.

Wonderful experience. They fit my friend and I in and were very nice to him since it was his first pedi. We had an amazing time. The massage was just what my feet ordered. Awesome job guys!

Very friendly and very clean!!! They said they haven’t been open for long. Everyone is very welcoming. The language barrier is a little tough. I asked for a design but I guess the person who did my pedicare didn’t understand. I had to ask again for a design but gave up and went for a flower instead. Would definitely come back if I’m in town!

Really happy with my experiences here, they are very friendly and personable. My nails always look fantastic and the color holds up very well without chipping. The massage is always rushed and a bit mediocre, but other than that I couldn’t be happier.

I took my mom and my younger sister here for a little pampering. We chose it essentially due to proximity to our house, and were pleasantly surprised!
This place must be pretty new. I come to SM about 3 or 4 times a year, and it wasn’t here last time I was, I think. The equipment is in wonderful shape, everything is very clean, and they use new tools for each customer. It did seem busy when we went, but we were in without an appointment. However, people who came after us had to wait much longer than we did – make an appointment!
The prices here are great:
Manicure $ 12
Pedi: $ 20
Mani + pedi: $ 30
I don’t know about everything else since I forgot already :(but they did a wonderful job! My cuticles look wonderful and my nails are well groomed. My mom and sister loved the experience as well.
4 stars over 5 because I had hoped for a larger selection of polishes (I am spoiled with my salon in San Diego), although they do have a ton of options. Also, I would appreciate a bit more clarity in their communication. My sister was offered a flower on her nails but wasn’t told it would cost extra (she should have asked, so maybe that’s on us) and we were charged for it. I would expect them to offer it but mention that it costs extra. It was beautiful and worth it (I suppose – I paid for everything so I am the most reluctant about it), but I would appreciate them mentioning the price of additional services while offering them.
All in all, I’d recommend.

Went in this afternoon and asked if I could get a regular mani in 20 minutes as I had a plane to catch; they said yes. It ended up being about 30 but that was ok and the manicurist was careful in the polish application and friendly. Regular mani: $ 12

I’ve been here twice. The first time Michelle did my pedi & mani & she was really good with great customer service. The second time was with Linh. I would never go back to her again — worst manicure & customer service ever. I would only go back if I made sure it was with Michelle again.

I love the service. First time to ever get a gel polish and Michelle removed my cuticles. Did a clean manicure. Thumbs up. Very friendly and neat too. Keep it up.

This place is amazing and I was surprised to not find them here on Unilocal!I brought my wife here to get her nails done and we went as a walk in, they took her right away and we’re so professional, she is still in the process of getting them done now but already the atmosphere is lovely and they offered her water and such. Depending on how it goes, haha.
