Lisa Nails

I’ve never had a pedicure so this was my first experience. I went with a friend and we were told «there’s two chairs over there» so we went and sat. My chair, a massage chair of some sort, was not working right and I tried asking for help but they acted like I was speaking Spanish to a Vietnamese. They didn’t even bother looking up, but whatever… Maybe they couldn’t hear me.
We sat in those chairs for probably an hour? With no one saying ANYTHING to us at all. I’m not experienced so I don’t know if this is normal but my friend was getting anxious… she’s way too nice so she thought about leaving but didn’t. I asked her if she wanted to go but she’s the type that doesn’t really make waves so we kept waiting. It’s true, they speak Vietnamese and to each other but so what? That’s true of every nail shop I’ve been to! I don’t know why people are saying they can’t relax, just tune it out!
Anyway, the pedicure itself was meh. I won’t be doing those. The girl was nice enough not to laugh when I said the water and towel were too hot (I’m a wimp so it’s not her fault.) The peach scrub thing smells nice the «massage» was basically oiled leg rub down of some sort but not what *I* think of when I think massage. So I don’t know if that’s normal but I won’t be coming back so it’s irrelevant.
On thing I found disturbing is I didn’t see them bring out fresh auto claved tools… I can only HOPE they do, but I don’t know… I didn’t even think about it til I got home and my toes hurt because she did a LOT of skin trimming! Is that normal? I cut my nails, not my skin! Anyway, I didn’t bleed or anything… I know people cut skin around nails on the hands too so it must be the same thing but I don’t like doing that either (which is another reason I do my own nails.) Again, probably not her fault, I’m just not used to it and after today I WON’T be used to it, thank god.
My friend said she likes the massage part of the pedicure, that it’s relaxing… me, I liked the chair… hers stopped working but again, the staff (even the one helping her) didn’t say a word or try to correct the situation, she acted like she didn’t speak English. And her nails were LONG!!! They were like an inch away from the finger tips! I was shocked but my friend didn’t say anything. I would have been scared…
Anyway all in all it was a meh experience. I’ve had better nail salon service experience but I’ve only done it for hands. So I still don’t know what the hooplah about pedicures is but ey, could be I’m just not girl enough for them. Towards the end I WAS sleepy but not because I was relaxed into mush, it’s because my mind had shut down after sitting for two hours!
Well, that’s it. Take this review as a noob with her first pedicure. But from the rest of the reviews, looks like I’m not the only one who’s like meh about htis place. As for pricing? I have no experience so I can’t say if it’s good or not. For acrylics it’s 25, gels is 30 which is normal, refills are 20 but I overheard say that only applies if you’ve done it there. Which is weird but I guess that’s how they keep things «in house» but that did put me off. God forbid I get gels elsewhere and try to come here… Anyway I won’t be doing that, like I said, I do my own nails now. Oh, one more thing, they have an ATM in the salon so I guess it’s mostly cash only although I was able to use my atm with their machine so they do have it but my guess is they hide that because cash is well… better… if you get my drift. OK I’m really getting off this review now. Til the next review, thanks for reading!

I came in to have my nails done and was not happy with the way they were. I was annoyed already so I decided to go home. Well I came back because it would be a waste of money to not have them to my liking. Lisa fixed them and I still wasn’t happy. Won’t be returning.

I used to go only to Lisa when I would get fake nails and SHE was/​is great! BUT her staff sucks! Unfortunately this is the closet nail shop to my house that always has a chair available in emergency situations. It never fails, I ALWAYS leave unhappy!!! The worst thing about it is they play dumb like they don’t understand what you’re telling them!!! None of them know how to cut nails straight!!! They get the gel polish all over your cuticles so it peals off in just days. My advice; DONT BE FOOLED BY THE SHOPS LOOKS, SERVICE SUCKS!

I wish there was a 0 star, worse service ever. I wish they would stop talking in their language, I try to relax when I get pedicures and it’s so annoying when they go on and on. You can’t really have a relaxing experience. I should have asked the ladies name but she had long fake nails and it was not comforting when she was massaging. She didn’t even scrub my feet. She rushed the whole pedicure but yet everything is $ 5 extra. She messed up my nails 2 times putting slippers on, I didn’t ask to put slippers on. She put the slippers on and left, I sat on the chair for 10 mins with no fan or anything to dry. Eventually I had to call her and ask if she needed to put another coat or what I am waiting on. Very unprofessional. Will never go back or would not recommend.

Lisa has been doing my nails for years. She is great! When she’s not around, I’ll go to Bee. She’s great too. Lisa really cares about her clients and her shop. I’m surprised by some of these reviews. She does the best nails… designs, color, jewels, plain pink & white etc

Lisa has remodeled her already beautiful shop. It is so relaxing and comfortable here.

I went in hoping to get my nails taken off, long and behold, when I saw they were not going to Soak my nails (as what I’ve been used too) they attempted to Rip them off, no communication but a tool that was So Painful that I stayed to get the rest off but almost 30 – 45 minutes later I was in Soaking Tears. Never will return!

I came here to get my eyebrows waxed. Keep in mind i had grew them out for like a month and a half. She did take her time waxing them. But now i know why. After she was finished i looked like a damn cartoon character. They were sooo thin! Oh and she used the same stick over and over. Talk about cross contamination. I am never coming back here.

I went to Lisa’s as a recommendation by a friend. I was looking for someone to do nail art. I have been to Lisa’s 3 times twice in less than a week my gel nails have lifted and pilled off. I’m so upset. On top of the job being done poorly, I always get Tina who dose not do nail art so she has another girl come over to finish the job. Double tips I have to pay. «Not cool» sadly as I’m getting ready to move house and the shop would be walking distance to my house I will not be using Lisa’s Nails again. My money is worth more than the trash on my hands.

Dont go here!!! My nails look horrible i asked the owner for a refund, she says they dont do refunds its way over priced 35 $ for a fill that took 1hour and half to do… thumbs down!

I went with my son’s girlfriend to get are nails done for my wedding. Lisa did my son’s girlfriend ‘s nails and she wanted pink gel with some sparkles on it, what she got was a nude color with sparkles that were bubbly and chipped before she even left the salon. They peeled off the same night! My thumb is infected, the lines on my design are crappy! I will never go there again. Not to mention that they didn’t even care that we weren’t happy with the job they did!

Been going here for a while off n on and never had a problem since lisa herself did my nails. Until 2 weeks ago. I had the most lazy person in the room is seems like. Asked her 4 a certain design n she literally said shes 2 lazy 2 do them. My nails literally turned out nothing like i wanted them 2. She literally bitched n complained while doing mt nails. N now they r lifting they look horrible!!! n its barely been 2 wks!!! Such a waste of 55 $$$ SERIOUSLY DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!

Came in today to get a pedicure and the girl who was working on me carried on a conversation in Vietnamese with another co-​worker the whole time. It was annoying and made it impossible to relax. The tech barely used top coat just dipping the brush one
Time for each foot. She was not friendly at all just pushing products & services. I will not return.

Nice place, but all the workers taking in their language basically yelling across the shop to one another really cheapens the experience. Don’t think I’ll be coming back.

Ive always used lisas salon to get my nails done and ive never experienced a problem. Lisa and staff is super friendly and always very helpful in picking a design

I’ve been going here for years. They do a great job. The only complaint I have is that they say they don’t take credit cards only cash but there has been a couple of times I forgot to get cash ahead of time and they let me pay by credit card.

I really wanted to like this place. It was very cute and clean and the ladies were nice. But too pricy for the service I got. I’ve gotten better pedicures at other places for less money. They rushed through the service and were not thorough at all. I do as good a job myself at home.

Be does an awesome job! I highly recommend her, I was recommended to her by a friend myself.

I have been a customer now for several years, I have been getting my nails done for several more. I have done my nails in just about every nail shop in Vacaville & Fairfield. There are good and not so good nail shops in Solano County and through conveinence I have tried several. Unless I find a place unsanitary or dangerous I wouldn’t see fit to damage a business that is greatly affected by bad reviews.
So here’s my two cents for what its worth.
I have been to a few of the manicurists at Lisa’s Nails and because she is gentle, caring, great at what she does, I continue to go back to Helena. When I need my nails done or a lip or eyebrow wax I know I will be able to get them done in a pinch. If I ever have problems, (which is few and far between), mostly due to my impatience not waiting for my nails to dry, they always take care of me, no questions asked!
Lisa’s Nails, offers alot of options, and services, in a comfortable atmosphere. They are a hard working, customer service oriented group of professionals that work long hours, and deserve only quality customers!

I’m a little disappointed with the reviews made on Lisa Nails. First off, not to stereotype, but there are a lot of Vietnamese workers here with limited English. If you’re curious about a pricing, it does not hurt to ask. Their job is to do what the customer like. Even I know if I wanted something «extra,» it will cost me. It doesn’t hurt to negotiate either. They are good at what they do and that is nails.
The negative reviews here is mainly about pricing, but they shouldn’t get such poor reviews because of it because their service is actually great. If it’s expensive, then go elsewhere. I have gotten my nails done cheaply at other nail salons, but the experience was horrific. I would not mind paying more for comfort and great service.
I went here for the first time. It was extremely busy, but I was still greeted and asked what/​who I was here for. I sat down, got my nails done, and asked about pricing. Since it’s the holidays, I wanted to add a snowflake on one ring nail and holly berries on the other. I knew it would be pricier if I added the pretty gems on it, so I opted for her to just draw it on. In the end, I was happy with my results. It was reasonable pricing, and I got two cute little drawings on two nails.
TIP: Always ask for prices on specific nail procedures before getting them done. Don’t use your Webster dictionary on them. It’s obvious that their English in broken, but you shouldn’t judge them. They are making a living like we all are and they are human beings. :)
Since it’s the holidays, I suggest doing something more festival with your nails. Add a snowman, a sxmas tree, or what I did that is subtle, a snowflake. :D
