Fancy Nails

Make an appointment! Does not staff for parties of two or more at a time. Tried to go on a Monday afternoon with my friend was told can only do one person, given there were two ladies working and one customer, asked if second person could get a pedicure after mine they said no lady getting her nails done at that time was next pedicure. So apparently they don’t know how to staff.
Pedicure was very good, just make an apt.

These friendly ladies are awesome! Been going to angels since I moved to seaside cause I’d been there before. Mmmm should’ve came here long ago. They take there time and do a thorough job. They give you a nice massage after your mani and pedi with warm oil. Prices are good too. I will definitely be going back

Very cute little place in the back of a shopping center. The ladies were very nice and did a great job. I very much enjoyed watching the love birds while getting my nails done. The warm lotion that they used for the massage was a nice treat!

Compelled to write about this nail salon because they are that good. Mimi took care of me with a regular pedi and acrylic manicure. And I didn’t catch her name but I think the owner did my eyebrows.
Pedi: Mimi took her time and was very gentle and thorough in cleaning my nails. I’m elated at the detail of her care. The massage was a cherry on top for sure. I’ll be asking for her again!
Mani: again so extremely thorough and gentle. I’ve been to places where they were rough on me when filing but this place is a definite professional. She listened as to what I wanted and did an amazing job.
Eyebrows: not bad. I just needed a clean up and she did great.
Overall this place does an amazing job with no rush and for the price you can’t beat. They are also so sweet so that helps :) the paintings all around are really cute too. Come here for the detail, price and hospitality.

Went to Fancy Nails for the first time today (for a regular manicure — only $ 12) and had a great experience! It wasn’t busy, but the young lady who helped me really took her time and gave my nails just the shape I wanted (and I’m super picky!). It was also very clean. Will be going back!

Outstanding service. I had Amazing pedicure, I will definitely be coming back and bringing my friends and family. Great prices too.

Best paint job ever! Always perfect! I’ve only been here 3 times and it’s nice to be acknowledged by your name when you enter and leave! I thank my friend who’s been going here for over 10 years for referring me! Mimi and Thao rock! Worth the drive from Prunedale to Seaside!

Absolutely the best and most affordable manicure I’ve had since moving to Monterey. Mimi ends your appointment with hot lotion and a hand/​arm massage that is to die for. Highly recommended, I will be coming back here for all my nail needs!

Took my man to get his first pedi today, very professional and friendly staff! They took great care of us!!! Of course he opted for NO color, LOL!!!

I am a loyal customer of Fancy Nails. It is small but clean, professional, and has very talented nail technicians. I have tried out 4 other salons in Monterey area that had prettier décor but lacked in service and were over priced for what they were offering. Fancy nails is well priced and you will leave happy and relaxed. I now have to commute from Gilroy but I don’t mind at all.

I highly recommend this place! They are the best people ever and they really take pride in their work. The owner is super sweet and so is everyone else who works there. I recommend everyone to come here if you want a job well done. They definatly know what they are doing. I absolutely love them.

Amazing pedicure! Meticulous nail work and heavenly massage. Don’t be thrown off by pet birds when you walk inside. My only complaint was the very old polish available, most of the paint was separating and discolored. They made my toes look perfect though, not a crack or bubble on these babies :)

I can defiantly say this place and the women who do there magic are awesome. I love the full attention rather than jump from client to client just to make more money as some shops do. Its sad to be told that I/​we have to come back because there was not enough people to take me and two of my guests at one time (my fault i should have made an appointment for us 3) but It could not stop me from returning because the service is fantastic and I love the quality Mani and pedis .I Always feel relaxed and most of the time I just really want to sleep lol. I hope this helped you in your decision and you won’t be sorry that you took my advice, go and experience the greatness!

I had made an appointment with a nail salon down the street. After waiting 30 minutes and noticing the disorganization and poor work, I left and decided to take my chances as a walk-​in.
Mimi was able to get me in for a mani-​pedi combo. I love that the salon is small and that they take their time to work on you. Quality work and relaxing environment. Awesome foot massage. Great price. Being new to the area, I’m so glad I found Paradise Nails and will be making this my new salon. I will recommend Paradise Nails to everyone. I will make an appointment next time but very happy that I got lucky as a walk-​in. Thanks Mimi!!!

This place is great! They take their time and don’t rush which is nice given I have been to places where they rush you out and charge almost double. To make things even better is they are extremely affordable. I went to this place all the way from Salinas because of the reviews and I will definitely be back. I have found my new go-​to nail place.

My nails look awesome, the prices are great ($ 23 for a gel manicure), and it’s obvious the owner and employees really care about their work!

If your looking for a little piece of heaven go see Mimi, Thao and Debbie at Fancy Nails. Besides the best manicures and pedicures on the peninsula you also get massages, girl talk and lots of laughter. I guarantee you will leave with a smile on your face and looking great!

Since I’m new to the Monterey area I was in need of a local nail salon. I have to say I LOVE Mimi and Debbie! They both do a great job! Definitely a happy customer.

I had just recently moved back to the area, was very excited to see this place still here after all these years. I went in to get fills and showed Mimi a picture I found on Pintrest and she copied it beautifully! cand wait to go back for fills and a pedi this time:)

Moved to Seaside 4 months ago and luckily this was the first salon where I stopped by to give Fancy Nails a chance :) I am VERY picky in the way I like my acrillic overlay to be done, as well as extremely sensitive when it comes to the usage of machines on my hands… Yes, I am THAT girl with lots of issues :) Normally upon moving to a new area I end up visiting between 4 to 6 salons before I find the quality that satisfies me.
Well, they didn’t just pass the «test» — they made me so happy that I am now their regular. I never went to any other salon in the area… Mimi is charming and so superb with hands — I have fills done with her. Since my hands are sensitive, she works slowly on my hands with the machines, gentle at all times, very careful and does magnificent job with every single nail — just perfect attention to detail with a gorgeous result!
Tao is very sweet and just fabulous at pedicures — I normally don’t enjoy pedicures (yes, I am that strange and sensitive…) and Tao’s hands felt as if butterflies touched my feet — no discomfort of any kind — she made it bearly noticeable specifically for me, and the feet looked beautiful and very thoroughly cleaned. Ingrowns removed without any pain — I didn’t even notice?! Now I go as often as I can to get my feet done simply because she has the magic touch, which doesn’t bother me a bit, and my feet look beautiful!
Took my mother-​in-​law, who loves pedicures, to Fancy Nails for her birthday, and she said Tao’s pedicure was one of the BEST she had gotten in her life… My mother-​in-​law is 63, and she has lived in different countries and has moved a lot — tried LOTS of various salons… Tao did her regular (natural nails) manicure, and my mother-in-law’s hands looked perfect! Now my mother-​in-​law says she wants another gift certificate for Christmas :)
I highly recommend picky gals like me to check them out! All you need to do is tell them before they start working on you about your issues (they can’t read your mind), and they will do everything they can to assure that you are pleased! I also suggest you make an appointment — it is a small salon where every client is important, as these ladies take time taking care of people…
