Nail Salons 13 Reviews in Santa Rosa, CA (Part 3)

qui aguirre Emma is so good at what she does. Very talented and detailed. She takes her time and checks in with you while she’s doing your nails. She is so sweet and makes you so comfortable! I will be going back. 10/10 work ethic. The shop and all of the employees are so welcoming. Thank you! My nails are worth showing off!

mina viramontes Emma did amazing on my acrylic full set and she is so efficient with her time. Sophia did my pedicure and put a lot of effort into some reconstruction I needed. Some of the best service I have had from a nail shop in a long time. This place is a must try.

Allie Stern Since moving here in July, Ive been going to La Belle and have always had a great experience. The salon is beautiful, and I like the ample parking out front. They also have an ATM inside, which is helpful as you get $5 off if you pay with cash. I usually see Emma (the owner), who always does a great job with my nails. Shes good at nail art, too, and does fun designs on my nails. I highly recommend checking out La Belle!

Mrs Castaneda I just love my nails. They do the best job that I’ve had done in a long time. It’s hard to come across a good nail tech, but they are truly experts. And make you feel just like you’re at home and great customer service :)

Harper M Horrible! If catfishing was a nail place this would be it! Overall environment was extremely stressful , lots of yelling and rushing around. They were cleaning an hour before closing while customers were inside. Mopping around our feet as we received the service. Got a gel manicure, in hopes of receiving a design on ONE finger. The solid color of the gel manicure was okay, but the design was horrible and in no way what I wanted. If you cannot do designs just say that! I’ve attached a picture of my nails (grey) and the design I wanted . This was up-charged 15$ as-well, for one finger! They made fun of my request and made countless comments about my nail size . They include a “shoulder massage” at the end ; to which she basically wiped lotion all over my shirt. Horrible experience and in no way with 60$ DON’T GO HERE! A 4.1 as seen here is not accurate, look to yelp! 2.5 is much more appropriate.

Alana Truby Transparently I am not someone whom makes negative reviews and I typically would have moved on but I am doing so to let others know. This salon is very busy, and it seems like it was a mistake but how it was handled is why I am making this review. I called in advance and wanted to make an appointment for a gel manicure and gel pedicure. There seemed to be miscommunication on their end that I just stated a pedicure so when I got there I let them know I was expecting both. They stated from the start no you did not. I said verbatim I mean I believe I did but if not it’s okay like I don’t need to be seen. They said go ahead and have a seat and we will see if we can do your manicure as well. I should’ve known but I really like to give people the benefit of the doubt and that’s on my part. However when I say I was sat and then had a first woman whom was polite start my nails by soaking and starting to remove my dead cuticle. After that she handed me over to another woman named Mary whom was also kind. However after that they just started painting my feet. No scrub, No callesus removed, I think Mary began to notice I was frustrated because I just changed my color to white after I realized I was not getting the full service I was paying for. She was attentive so I wanted to state it’s not on her. But it isn’t right when someone’s paying $50 dollars for a service to have their feet put in just water and then painted. I just stated I would pay for my service and go and thanked her. Then I did bring it to the attention at the woman at the front. She tried stating It was only a 5 minute massage?? I didn’t even receive a massage and honestly didn’t care. I just wanted to atleast have my feet scrubbed for a moment. I explained it was frustrating cause i did make an appointment she said well i misheard you i stated that’s fine mistakes happen but It wasn’t a full service and she said okay we’ll gel is $50 so I just paid it and left. not to also mentioned they offered drinks to every single individual including walk ins next to me and not me once but whatever that’s not even part of it. it just made me feel extremely bad about myself and sad when i was being nothing but quiet and polite. So I wanted to state for others if your looking to go in make sure they actually have time for you and to be attentive to you. I honestly left on the verge of tears because I tried to be so polite and understanding only to leave with loosing money for a full service I didn’t get. I encourage others to hopefully speak up more or just walk out if they arent. They are well aware I left upset and I still said thank you so many many times.

Karen Latiker I’ve been a fan and faithful customer since day one. I am always well cared for and leave feeling pampered. I have ingrown toe nails and most nail technicians at other salons just provide the cosmetic effects of a pedicure but at zen, they know what they are doing and provide great care for my nails and have prevented me from needing intervention from a podiatrist.

Nancy Jones Had a 530 appointment time sounded nice on the phone. What a waste of time..first time ..went to walk in and the lady had 3 big chow dogs in her establishment.. not service dogs! How disgusting so I asked are the dogs leaving. She told me no then I asked if she was the owner she said yes and a asked her to cancel my appointment..Im highly allergic to dogs and cats love them but your breaking state law codes and waisted my time.

Angelica Gonzalez The two women that run the front desk, Helen and Rachel are incredibly RUDE. We booked a party of 10 for a wedding. Two of the girls were running late and both Helen and Rachel came to reprimand our entire party for the tardiness and to tell us the bride had to pay for the services regardless. The bride agreed to pay. Helen was asked to stop yelling and that only escalated the situation and she asked us all to leave in the middle of service. The rest of her employees who were working on our bridal party were very kind and kept apologizing for them. It seems that these two women who run the shop intimidate and scare their own employees. You could hear a pin drop. Ann, who did my pedicure was incredibly sweet and apologized for the experience. It wasn’t her fault and I made sure to tip her cash and made sure that tip went 100% to her. Hope those employees find better people to work for. Helen and Rachel definitely should not be in customer service. They should be embarrassed by how RUDE and HOSTILE they treat their clients.

Hadeel Mustafa I’ve been getting the structured nail manicure by Glorielsa for over three months now and i’m in absolute love with it! I am a hair stylist and my hands are constantly in water, My natural nails kept breaking and chipping and I didn’t want any acrylic nails as I was really trying to embrace my natural nails. I’m in absolute love with these snd I get compliments on them constantly. Not to mention her adorable space decorated with things you never get bored looking at! And she is super fun to talk to as well:) Thank you Glorielsa.

Erin Clinton Glorielsa is a super friendly, down-to-earth, knowledgeable, skilled artist who does an amazing job every time. I especially appreciate that this is one of the only places I have been that doesn’t cause me to get a headache from intense chemically smells, as there are none! I love that her space is private-feeling and that there aren’t others doing nails and getting their nails done at the same time. Her pedicures are the most sanitary I have had, and they never cause me problems afterward, unlike a few other places I tried before finding her. She has educated me about how to care for my nails and has helped with issues I have had. I highly recommend Glorielsa!

Andreana Mota My nails always come out looking nice. Glorielsa can do all kinds of nail art and design. Im glad that I found a tech that knows what shes doing.

Geneva Melby I had my bridal nails done with Glorielsa and she did such a fantastic job! Her attention to detail and creativity is exactly what I needed. Plus she is very nice to chat with. I’m so glad I found her!

Medina Gen (Gen) Walked in on a Monday afternoon, never been to a salon where they pay so much attention to detail and take their time. Very satisfied with the services.

Nancy Kern Been going there a long time...love these ladies..do excellant work...I think they like me but Im learning the Vietnamese language so Ill really know. Lol. Also they work tirelessly.

Pamela A Goodwin They have a HUGE selection of nail polish colors and types. We were able to walk in and get a pedicure. Service was nice and the experience was good.

Ameelvi Torres Not enough attention to detail. I got a gel manicure with French tip. She did not clean the nail properly before applying polish and you can see dirt trapped underneath the polish. There is polish all around the nail on my cuticles and since it’s gel I can’t just take it off. Cuticles were not cleaned up properly either. It looks fine from afar but this is a job I could’ve done at home, not something I would pay a professional to do.

jt_Bandit_04 The nail tech was a bit to rough when filling my nails with the file and drill, she made me bleed on three fingers, three of my nails aren’t fully covered and still exposed, and on two of them the nails are off centered. To top it off I wanted my tips gloss and the base matte, I’ve said this to the nail tech twice. Before she applied any of the stuff to my nails and before she applied the mail polish to my nails. Even after those two times she still did it the opposite way than asked if this is how I wanted them to be and to be nice I said yes because it was already to late to say no because it was all cured and everything. The price was reasonable though.

Anishma Prasad I had an unpleasant experience when I visited your salon for a manicure on September 14th. I waited for over an hour before the manicurist began working on my nails. He abruptly stopped midway, stating that he was hungry and needed to eat. Surprisingly, he immediately started attending to another client, leaving me confused and disappointed. Like what the heck??? Another manicurist took over, but she seemed rushed and impatient. Unfortunately, she caused some of my fingers to bleed and left the nail polish unevenly applied, with some edges unpainted. The roughness of my nails was also noticeable. I kindly request that you improve your service, especially considering that we pay the full amount for the services provided. If you are unable to provide adequate attention to all clients, it would be better to cater to a smaller number to ensure quality service. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Jova Rivera The lady who usually asked costumers if they made appointments, the lady who’s always in the entrance/cashier area.. all I can say is that she’s very rude and bossy. The way she treat customers look like they are not paying her/them for their job. I like some of their staffs but this one.. I don’t really like her. She did my nails for the first time and it looks horrible. She said the color I like doesn’t match my skin color so when I agreed and look for another color, she was so pissed and you can tell by how she squeezed my hand. Not just that, she was also in hurry to do my nails.. after a day, I observed my gel nail polish started to peel off. I am not going back there again. Not worth it.

Erika Romero Asked for acrylic on my natural nails, she started cutting my natural nails, then she explained she can make the nails on my desire length. I ended up this bumps on all my nails uneven length, but she charged me $55.00, poor service. I do not recommend Elegant Nails anymore.

Catherine Knight I rank it a 0 and I normally do not write reviews but this one is well needed to warn others . First off the lady was super ,I mean super rude and very aggressive with my hands the entire time . She did not do as I wanted her to do or had asked for she did Idk what she wanted. When time to pay she charged $65 and I paid with my card that she ran 3 times then told me its not working so I checked online bank and said its there and I asked what is it saying like decline or what error code she said its just working and at this time I get a alert stating $65 was taken I told her this she said NO , NO RECEIPT Not work . And only wanted cash I paid the cash and asked for the receipt and was told no receipt and given a sticky note and thought I will just call back tomorrow and she could see the transaction went through and pay me $65 cash or credit . Oh no i called the next day and was told no transition and to wait a few days to make sure my bank was at fault . So 3 days later i called and was told No transition and I said yes I have the bank statement stating it was paid I was called a liar and hung up on . So long story short bad business and bad nails .

Maggie Chavez I love the quality of their work! I usually get dip nails and this is the only place Ive gone that they stay on and look fabulous! Also get my toes with regular polish and it lasts so.long! Been going for over a year now!

Kristinae Toomians They always do a great job. The place is clean and conveniently downtown. I recommend requesting an appointment because they are usually pretty busy. I usually get a gel manicure and regular pedicure for $70, plus tip.

Serena M. 3/26 Beautiful color choices, I am so happy to be back at Todays Nails. I love Yen she is a nail ninja! She is really good at her craft, I always leave very happy. Good location with parking behind on 5th st. Another great experience and beautiful polish on 10/19/19 thank you Yen! You are fab!!

Robin J Yan is super nice and took me in without an appointment. She removed an old set and did my new set... beautiful cat eye style is fabulous! Shes professional and fast... I definitely recommend this nail salon...

Lucinda Arlington The prices are not upfront. Pricing is not shown anywhere inside this nail salon. The owner will over charge when she pleases. You cannot pay with a credit card. Owner prefers cash and does not say so upfront. Had a mani & pedi for under $100. Next visit I only had a manicure with a light colored gel nail polish and I was charged $120! Scam artists. I will never recommend this nail salon to anyone.

Jennifer This salon fit me in for a pedicure and a gel fill and did an amazing job! They were friendly and the leg and foot massage was soooooo nice!!! I can only wear light colors on my nails at work and so Holly suggested this very nice light color with a tiny bit of shine in it and I absolutely love it. This is my new go to salon near work and home since many of the other salons nearby are hard to get appointments at.

Lisa Ann One of the best pedicures I have received.. They very nice.. courteous.. I also received a gel fill and inquired about Nail Art.. They said to show picture.. this is what was done. Love it..

TNTezy They had a few customers that came in after me so the job was really rushed. They charged me 195$ for a pedicure, acrylic nails and an eyebrow wax. The pedicure that cost $70 it was included with a scrub paraffin wax and a 15-minute massage. The 15 minute massage I never got on top of that left so much dead skin on my feet. Up into many nail shops Ive never ever had a job done so badly. Just keep in mind if you go there make sure they have no other appointments that job will be rushed since there was only one nail tech and the other ones that they were calling were ready busy at another nail shop. Whats crazy is that they didnt even know I spoke their language

Anna Vicente The best nail shop in Santa Rosa!!! I’ve been coming for months now and every single time it is reasonably priced and they do an amazing job! All the staff is talented and incredibly friendly. I couldn’t recommend it more!

Natalie Gast There so so sweet and did an amazing job on my nails definitely recommend

Michelle Patterson Been here a few times now, very nice people. Last time i saw Natalie, she did an amazing job and was super meticulous. Highly recommend.

Morgan Blair Very sweet! They made quick work of my nails while also ensuring they were good quality. I can definitely tell they will last long! I 100% recommend.

Lauren Lopez Loved my services! All the staff are so sweet and professional. Everything was clean. My nails turned out amazing. Chairs were comfy too. Definitely going again!

Joan Wanjau I got my nails taken off here back in Feb. I was debating whether to write this review, since I usually don’t want to knock small businesses from natural mistakes. However, the amount of pain my nails went through is worth sharing to others about their nail remove service. I went in to get my Gel-X nails taken off, over communicated to the nail tech that a lot of places I called don’t have the resources to do this service. They assured me that they do it all the time. The older lady did this service and was heavy handed with the tool …to the point of pain. I felt heat burning through the layers of my nails and told her that it hurts. She adjusted the speed and it got better until it didn’t. I felt this in all my nails. I had to get somewhere so I couldn’t talk to a manager. I highly recommend to avoid this place until they get better. It’s been 2.5 months since the service and I had to regrow my entire nails and they’re still not ready for a new service yet. Such a bummer. I reached out to my trusted nail tech in Oakland and she guided me on the process of healing my nails and warned me about possible infection. It’s so disheartening to have this impression with a new tech. Please be more gentle and learn more about nail integrity. Last picture is what my nails look like now. **my pinky got the most damaged Edit 1 (09/19/2024): I moved back to town 9 months ago, and it took me that long to finally find a nail salon comparable to my longtime tech in Oakland. After doing tons of research and asking around, I found that many people struggle to find a salon that can remove gel/extensions without harming the nails. I tried Santa Rosa Nails and Shiloh Nails in Windsor, but they didn’t meet this standard. But I finally found a place that does! Salon: Pretty Nails Location: 1004 Hopper Ave, Santa Rosa, CA They’re under new management, and their team is amazing! I personally go to Ken, as he came highly recommended, and I wasn’t willing to risk another bad experience in Sonoma County. I may try other techs down the line, but for now, Ken’s my go-to. I’ll post pictures of my gel builder removal and my nails after getting T.A.P. (hard gel) applications. I left completely satisfied and relieved to have found my new nail spot. This was 7 months after my experience at Santa Nail Salon, and my nails now reflect what proper care and experience look like.

Megan Szewczyk Had a decent gel pedicure. Also had dip nails done which was awful. Ive never had a tech use only one drill bit (the sandpaper one) which chewed up my cuticles bad. They bled awfully and two nails are already badly chipped. I just got them done not even 2 hours ago. Photos attached. NOT worth $90. I need my hands looking 100% professional for work at all times and this will just not work. Edit: Just going about my work day and more nails keep chipping. 4 hours post manicure. Have called the salon to report the issue and requested a refund as I am just visiting the area for work. Manager is supposed to give me a call back. Edit 2: Work circumstances left me here another day. Went back for them to fix my nails. The guy that works there did a great job of removing the old stuff and he was very gentle and precise. Another lady...presuming the owner... took over and finished them up. Overall they look much better. The woman who took over knew about the issue already and who did my nails yesterday... hoping that they provide her with more training so that this doesnt keep happening. Ive noticed several other reviews with cut up fingers. Edit 3: not even three days after getting my nails fixed they are breaking and cracked up again. I get my nails done every two weeks at locations around the country and I havent run into this issue yet.... Edit 4 on 9/16/2024. Owner finally replied to this review this morning asking me to call them. So I did. Rep was confused so I explained the situation. She said she would call me right back. Havent heard anything and owner removed their response. Also attaching a photo of the license to this salon in case anybody needs information from it to file a complaint with the board of cosmetology (as I did 6 months ago).

Thank You Nice interior, very nice people, very good English, great location. Not busy, quite relaxing. Gel manicure, nails were soaked & cuticles clipped, but technician forgot to file my nails, so I had to do afterwards & it chipped the polish (lost 1 star for missing this basic service). Pedicure was good though lost top coat lustre after a few days. Chairs recline & massage back, but foot bath does NOT have bubbles. 2 x large screen TVs play zenful videos. Sterilized equipment used. I will give a second chance & return.

Alice Pham This nail salon is hands-down the best I’ve ever been to! From the moment I walked in, their customer service was impeccable—warm, friendly, and attentive. What really stood out was their incredible attention to detail. As someone who is very detail-oriented, I was so impressed with how my nail tech checked in with me at every step to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. I got a Gel X manicure, and it turned out stunning. My nails look so natural and flawless, exactly how I envisioned them. The precision and skill of the nail tech were unmatched. Every cuticle, every nail shape, and every polish stroke was done with such care and expertise. I felt completely taken care of throughout the entire experience. If you’re looking for a salon that combines top-tier skills with phenomenal service, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Danyelle Hinkle Yerena is one of the most talented nail techs I know!!! She SLAYS every design I ask her to do and her space is so comforting.

ximena bracamontes Best nail tech out there. Only copy & paste nail artist I’ve met before. Amazing nail prep & acrylic application. She truly cares about her customers and it shows, she’s so nice, and thoughtful. Her work is amazing, always walks you through what she’s doing and makes sure you love it before moving on. I used to go to nail salons but I can never go back after meeting Cielito, she makes the environment so fun and happy and her beautiful work speaks for it self. Worth every penny, 10/10 would recommend.

Ariana Scarioni Cielitoh Nails is the best nail technician I’ve ever had. She does things in her process that I’ve never seen any other technician do.

Jasmine Grace Der Very nice work!! Workers are so nice and make sure to double check their work. Place is also very clean and don’t make you wait too long. My friend and I did a walk-in and they took us at the same time. Would definitely come back again!

Jay Jay I was completely happy with Vivian‘s work. She was amazing took her time. However she was fast and did an amazing job shaping my nails. I will definitely go there again. I’m so happy with how they came out. They were so cute. I brought my own stickers and she placed them on. The staff there is very sweet even though they were busy they made sure they made time for me.

Crystal Perea Absolutely my favorite spot for getting my nails done! Nancy is not only super friendly but also an absolute pro who nails it every single time. The place is sparkling clean and maintains a high level of professionalism. Whether youre a walk-in or have an appointment, you’re guaranteed a fantastic experience!

Amy This was my first time going to Royal Nails and they did a wonderful job! They took theyre time making sure the acrylic was filled well and set. They listened to what I wanted and didnt try to change my mind about doing something I didnt want. All the staff were friendly and very welcoming. I like that I can schedule my appointment online too and the pricing was fair. Overall, really positive experience and will be going back.

jaiden brooner Loved the service here, great environment and was treated with much care. Vivian did an awesome job on my nails even when I wasn’t sure what I wanted at first she was patient and helped me make a decision. Great nail tech and great business. Thank you

Jill Morocco Great salon that I thoroughly enjoy going to. Staff us very accommodating and great people. Very friendly. Tina is the goddess of nails and can do any design you can come up with.

Arlette Casino I had an appointment today with my daughter and my granddaughter. The shop was warm and friendly. Johnny, the shop manager did a great job organizing and timing so that all of our appointments were done around the same time. My granddaughter had a manicure and pedicure and they made her feel like such a princess! Met did my full set acrylic nails and I think they came out amazing and beautiful. The shop was clean and sterile and I know I’ll be returning for more services.

Nico Archambault Treated my mom for Christmas. We didnt have an appointment but the wait was very short. They really take their time to make sure its exactly the way you want your nails, and they also accept photo references. They did a really nice job shaping my natural nail considering that they were in pretty bad shape to begin with. They are also very patient and kind, and really made the atmosphere welcoming. Prices were great as well. I plan to come back next time I visit home for the holidays.

janelle elfar I’ve been seeing Katie for the past two years since I moved to Santa Rosa and I can’t recommend her and her team enough! Katie is consistent, thorough, and her execution is flawless.
