Nail Salons 19 Reviews in Salinas, CA (Part 2)

Ashley Mendez The ladies are really nice. However, last time I came, the man pried off my acrylics piece by piece using a nail tip.

Amy Rocha i would put 0 stars if i could. went to get my nails done and the man who did them hurt most if not all of my fingers. i was bleeding for around 20 minutes but the man proceeded to paint my nails and drag the blood into the nail. when i pointed out that my fingers hurt and the paint job was not good he got upset and raised his voice at me saying he wasn’t going to do my nails anymore. he was being very aggressive on my nails as shown in the picture. he was also reusing old nail files and sponges. usually im not one to make reviews but just thought I’d share in case anyone planned on getting their nails done here.

Cynthia Bernal I like the pedicure every two weeks. However you have to make sure they charge you correctly. I was just in there. I was told 45$. Usually it’s 40$. I leave 5 or more for tip. I don’t understand why I’m charged 55$.00. Absolutely not letting that happen. I will call tomorrow. Please be careful when it comes to the paying part. Otherwise they are great!!!

Galindo Sam “Terp” Late one night when other salons were closing they took me in. I was amazed by the great job they did I became a repeat customer. As long as I will be in salinas I will come here. I even sent some coworkers here and they liked it as well.

Anissa Gooden asked for French tips and this is what I got:( she was lazy and just glued white tips to my nails and put clear coat on like? I don’t complain often but it was just ridiculous lol

Ruby Gallegos Horrible pedicure. The woman was going to use tools on me that she had used on the previous client. I told her I didnt want those. I shouldve left but I had a gift card. My gel pedi lasted 4 days because the nail polish was applied horribly. The gel was on my skin and didnt cover the nail completely. Not the most hygienic place. They reuse the same packets of lotion on multiple people. My daughter received a very mediocre pedi. First and last time going to this establishment.

Marialuara Hernández López A really bad bad service I didnt like how she ended up doing my nails I wanted something Kauai with my own 3D little charms that I brought she was charging me for this b******* 60 bucks and she wanted to charge me $20 more for adding two more colors like little lines and for putting my own 3D charms never coming here again

Shannan Padilla I had such a bad experience here today at LG nails. I have been coming here for over 12 years and never had a problem until today . The lady that works at the first seat to the left as you walk in was one of the worst nail techs I have ever experienced. She was so rude and not capable of doing a good job I asked if another nail tech could take over and help fix her mistake but they said they were to busy. I allowed her to continue to finish my nails .She hurt me and scratched me three times I told her and was very upset at this point . She couldnt seem to figure out how to do the correct shape to my nails it was just awful. They then tried to over charge me at the end .I spoke with the manager who was extremely rude . A customer walked in to get her nails done witness how rude they were treating me looked at my nails and said she wouldnt be getting her nails done there and walked out with me . I believe that was instant karma to them and I really appreciate that lady for having my back ❤️ I will make sure to never give them my business as long as my family and friends who have also been going for years . Learn how to do nails and treat your customers or do t work there !!

Jackie DeSmet Always a great job & well done and a friendly clean environment. Yen is my favorite nail tech. Always straight, smooth, not thick, and shaped the way I like. Yen also does a lot of artsy, sparkly & fun nails. I have never been cut or handled roughly. Yen also does my pedicures. Heavenly!!! I get the most expensive pedicure with the hot stone massage and parabin wax tratment. I get my hair cut colored and highlighted (weaved with foil) by Cindy. Cindyis really a talented cosmetologist and I am super picky!!! Cindy is intuitive with me. Always understands what I am wanting to have done. Her hair prices are super reasonable for the quality stylist she has become and for this area $$$$. I have been going here for 3 years. I love this shop.

Samantha Samaniego DO NOT COME HERE i got a gel pedicure and the very next day I randomly notice 4 toes are bald no gel polish it lifted off so easily I didn’t even feel or notice it happening. I go the next day and ask to get it fixed but manager was extremely rude, didn’t believe I had gotten my pedicure there until I showed her the transaction and even then she was very passive aggressive and seemed upset she had to fix it. She fixed it on the 7th, then yesterday I notice 3 toes are completely bald again, no gel polish sitting on them at all. What a waste of 60 dollars seriously never come here.

GKC MBA NIC ED: K-12 EIPA I come here for mani/pedi’s regularly and I love the work they do!

Frank Baca Went to have a pedi/mani with my daughter. We were sat at the pedicure chairs with only two employees working and the owner. After 20 minutes, the owner took the polish off one of my feet. Two customers came in and said they had appts, but the owner said they were over an hour late. So, she told me and my daughter to come back. When I told her that we could not come back, she said that she had to take the 2 appts that came late. So I took my feet out of the water and left with one foot unpolished, and my daughter was completely ignored. Seems unprofessional and we are regular customers who were treated unfairly.

Veronica Collado This past weekend was the worst experience ever at BC Nails. My sister and I walked in for pedicures and manicures with gel. The man there was very rude to begin with. Was poking my sisters toenail. When he got to her fingernails, he was even more rude, laughing at the color of her nail polish. My sister asked him if he liked her polish and he gave her a look and laughed and said no.. The lady that was attending me had no idea what she was even doing. I had tips on my fingernails and I just wanted gel polish over then. She ended up melting off my tips. She cut me, I think about 45 minutes later she was not even close to finishing and I had to tell my to charge and I was done. The man was yelling at my sister because he felt the need to charge me for a take off when the manicurist melted my tips off. I paid and left no tip because he was very rude and I was bleeding.. Very unprofessional business..

Rachel Gruenewald-Overman Ive come here for years and always been happy with my experience, but this last time I got an infection on my toe. It was a skin infection, not a nail infection. I had to do 2 rounds of antibiotics and when that didnt work I had to have half of the nail removed. Its been over a month and its still healing. Im not sure what happened this time that was different than the other times Ive been, but I dont think Ill be coming here again.

Rosario Romero Love this location for pedicures! My go to girls are Nina and Mary I 100% recommend them for all your needs! They take there time to make sure your comfortable, get what your paying for, and are efficient with there work.

Esmeralda Bravo Took me in last minute! Tim was very knowledgeable and did a great job on my set. He took his time to get everything perfect, will be coming back for a fill!

tori kumre They are under new ownership (for those of you that don’t know) and this is my second time back after a referral and I am so grateful to have found a nail tech who specializes in unique nail art. At the end of my first appointment, I couldn’t wait to come back for my next set. I get a fill and pedicure every time and these ladies are SO thorough, attentive, and kind. I am so relaxed in the environment they create, and always greeted with a warm welcome!! Thank you so much for making my day and taking my insane nail requests. I get so many compliments!!

Jassmyn Contreras Amazing job, friendly staff. They took the time to get my nails looking beautiful! Would definitely come back again. And they definitely take in walk ins.

Karena Sapiro Probably the best pedicure and manicure I’ve ever had, and they welcomed me with open arms as a walk-in with my ginormous service dog

Scarlitte Gorgeous nails done at Tulip. Pink cat eye with pink hearts for Valentines day. Fast and pretty. Time for me to go back!

Yolanda Martinez Lee does a great job with eyebrow waxing. She takes her time.. gives pleasant conversation. Lee keeps her waxing area nice and tidy. She has always been a pleasure to visit. I also appreciate that she gives an honest timeframe. She will say come back in 10 minutes or half an hour.. etc.. and she is good on her word. Today was another great visit

GG Lopez Excellent service. Ive been going there for many many years. Lee & Robert work hard and we like them ALOT. Lee does great. If I go anywhere else my polish falls off like the 2-3 day. Shes the best. Robert does my pedicure. Does great job as well. Thank you Lee & Robert. Ill be your faithful customer always. Georgie

Samantha T Great job! Nice staff, lots of color choices, reasonable prices.

Layla L M First time coming into ProTop ll Nails. Customer service is excellence at its best. My nail tech was very friendly, knowledgeable and took time on my nails. Their technique sets the bar high in nail care standards. I’m from NY and this was one of the best experiences I ever had. If you want your nails coming out jaw-dropping, stop by here. You won’t be disappointed.

Amadis Quintero Awful! I called to say I was going to be 10 minutes late for my appointment. I made it just in time. I walk in and Linda is with somebody doing a pedicure which is understandable (I was late). About 20-30 min later Linda starts on my nails. As linda puts the tips on me this lady that Tom (Linda’s husband) starts working on says she has an appointment with Linda which wasn’t on her appointment book but to not upset the lady. Linda then says “you wait I do for you”. I am a good, understanding person say “sure, okay”. I then notice the lady wanted a full set of acrylic. Again other 30-40 minutes for me to wait. My daughter wanted a REGULAR GEL COLOR WITH HEARTS. As Linda is doing my nails my daughter comes to me to say her hearts don’t look right. Linda hears my daughter and says “I will fix for you don’t worry”. I thought Linda would fix it from scratch but no! She just made them look worse!! I also asked how much my nails would be “I don’t know until we finish because it takes time”. So finally after being there from 11:40-3:00 it’s time to pay. I then head to the bathroom when I am walking out Linda says it’s $15 dollars more because the other lady did a manicure on my daughter and she didn’t know. I said “I didn’t know either because I didn’t ask for that. I asked for gel color. Linda says “your daughter needed it”. I said but I didn’t ask for it. Linda says “so it’s $15 dollars more okay”. I stay quiet thinking do I go off on her for so many reasons or stay calm and let Karma handle Linda. So, I paid and left. Before asking me about the $15 extra for my daughter. I gave her a $10 tip because I liked the DESIGN only the design on my nails but as I looked my nails are way to thick and lumpy! I felt cheated and robbed! DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE. I paid $25 for my 7 year olds gel color and some messed up hearts!! For mine $75 + 10 for a tip I shouldn’t have given Linda. That’s because I am a good person. Karma’s a b****!!

Mayra Macias I walked in on a Friday morning without an appointment and Linda greeted me and asked what I needed and immediately took me in. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she gave me just that. Its my 2nd time coming to this place but I will definitely be a returning customer! Linda and Tom are both lovely people that take pride in their work.

Nad Wil I love coming here. Linda and Tom are very kind and hospitable. I get my manicures and pedicures regularly here and highly recommend them!

Melissa Hernandez Linda was amazing! They are so welcoming, fun and do amazing work. My daughter loved her nails that Linda fit her homecoming!

Jada Warren - Evans Don’t usually leave reviews but I am very disappointed with this service. I got a gel pedicure about three days ago here and already the polish is disappearing entirely and cracking / lifting. During my appointment I had to remind my technician (an older gentleman) that he didn’t turn on the curing light or that he forgot to apply a top coat to my nails and the pedicure process (for a classic, basic pedicure) took a total of 2 and a half hours. I was hoping that given the time it took the nails to be completed they’d be acceptable but I’m frustrated that I have to pay to get another pedicure somewhere else so soon :(

Rosie Ochoa Went to this nail shop, for the first time 2 days ago based on the high reviews, to get a fill. Not sure if the nail tech was having an off day but the work was sloppy for the price. Polish under my nails, some not not fully covered with polish and powder bumps here and there . Nail polish started higher on some nails . They said wait time would be 5 min. Waited 15-20. They are nice people.

madilynn brown Absolutely amazing with definitely be coming back as a regular, they did amazing in my nails and when I visited I was unfortunate and didn’t have someone to watch my 9 month for me so as I struggled to get her calm and get my set done they offered to help and distracted and played with her which was so over beyond amazing and incredible can’t thank them enough. The photos don’t give mouth justice.

GKC MBA NIC ED: K-12 EIPA Great work! Wonderful service, including giving me a bottle of water!

Athena Vo Professional service! I came here several times on my own. This cozy place brings me good feelings with Thai massage when you feel like all your muscles and joints are stretched out and relaxed. Never done it before in my life. An amazing experience!!! A person practicing self-love like me will definitely try out self-care services here. Two big pluses, staffs are friendly and the price is very affordable. Cant wait to come back.

Tram Vo Fantastic Spa. Owner and staff are professional and makes you feel welcome. Received my first ever massage here from Sally! It was wonderful! I always look forward to go The Angels Spa.

Lynn Riddick Had a great massage that I started at 30 minutes and added another half hour. I was able to get the knots in my body worked on and was very comfortable. Professional work by the therapist. Clean environment

Ivette Fisher Nice place, massage was good but she took to much time changing the background music through the session. It took away time from my massage.

Disney Family Sally gave me an amazing massage I didnt want it to end. She instinctively knew exactly where my troubled spots were and worked them out. I felt light as a feather when she finished. I highly recommend her. They also have a microblading artist, Aida. I heard she is very detailed and precise. I received an introductory discount so ask about their introductory offers before they end! Thats what I did. We all need some me time to look and feel better, it doesnt hurt saving some money doing it! I will be going back soon:-)

Maria Schell Very clean, my manicurists were very nice, respectful. The two work on me I was out in about an hour for mani pedi. Plus, they did a great work!!! I definitely return.

Magpayo Joanna (Jam) Finally!!! A nail place I like. Katie was very careful and gentle with my pedicure and Kim did great with my nails finally got the shape I like and removed my cuticles without cutting me. This is a great place for nails. Never going anywhere else.

Madison Herrera My favorite place to get nails done! My nails always come out so good and the designs & shape are always so perfect. Kim is my personal favorite for designs and shape but all of the girls that have done my pedicures were good too.

elise The people were friendly and the prices werent bad, I paid $30 since I got different colors and this is gel nail polish. The only thing that frustrated me a bit is that the colors did not really match what I wanted and I just wish they had more of a variety but the staff were friendly and my nails look good (:

Familia Mascote They were great, friendly and very efficient. I was visiting from Oregon and I was pretty happy with the manicure I got.

Andrea Campanile I love this salon! Every time I go in I get treated very well. The staff is super friendly. Kelly and David and so sweet! Swan and David did my nails today (the ombre), but Kelly has done them before as well (the pink and black set). Every time I come out super satisfied. The location is very convenient for me and theyre always available for walk in.

Amanda Vo I just came here last week to get my nails done for an upcoming date later that day and my nails came out great! I highly recommend David for acrylic nails as he does a very nice job with shaping them. Also got my eyebrows waxed too and they came out very clean and even. My nails are still intact and the paint job is as clean as ever. Got a new regular client!

Letricia Rogers I have been going there for years and I love the service. I have never been disappointed. David, Kelly and the entire staff has always provided me with outstanding service. David can do any design you want on your nail. Sometimes it’s best to let him work his magic. Try them , you just might like them.

Mayra Valdes I was in the area and decided to give this place a try. End result, I was disappointed. Needed my nails done for my baby shower and I chose a simple color. Final result was bumpy, uneven color. During the process the nail guy kept hurting me. He kept digging his nail on the side of my finger. I would pull away but it kept happening. The only thing that I was satisfied with was the color itself. But the service was one of the worst I have had. Not worth my money.

Liliana Garcia First time doing Pedicure. Love it. Im very ticklish on my feet she went slow and asked how Im doing eveytime which made me feel secure. Did Pedi and Mani at the same time. Love it totally going back.

Savannah Lind Ok let’s start with I asked for French tip artificial nails with design and studs. Was told he could do it. I got a pedicure first which was amazing and nails great job for just French tip on my natural nails but my finger nails aren’t great. I had to ask for them to be made softer cause the tips were way too sharp and even then I had to file when I got home. Nails look wonky and he said ok I can do flower design so we went on my phone and chose a white flower but he did yellow and red? Never said yellow or red? When checking out with another guy he told Henry to go back and put a diamond on the flowers. So yes they have them and came out good if you’re looking from afar but up close too thick and not what I wanted. I hate doing bad reviews but man I haven’t been to a nail salon in 4 years and I get this. I still paid cause I know everyone needs to learn and I could see and tell everyone else there does a great job but he did not he needs time to learn unless he is doing your feet. Oh also it’s been a few hours and studs are already off on one nail

Juana Laura Sierra I usually go here for my pedicures. It’s a hit or miss with the ladies but overall they do a good job . I’m unsure of her name but she did my pedicure yesterday and I don’t know if she poke too deep but now my big toe is swollen not only that when she was working with the drill she got my skin a bit and now I have tiny cuts . Maybe it was an off day for her but even when she was doing the massage and wiping everything off she was being too rough. I got the $50 pedicure and I was hoping a better service than what she offer.

Erika Gregorio don’t even bother in calling asking for the estimate wait time. They will lie to you and claim there is no wait. Once you get to the salon they won’t tell you the time wait unless you put in your number to be in the list.

Martha Luna My experience was great. But I couldn’t help but notice there was a big wait. Moms bring their children and it’s quite distracting for the mom and the worker. This establishment is very well known; it’s best to make an appointment.

rosemary uribe The staff are friendly and professional. The technician was meticulous in her work, ensuring every detail was perfect and my nails look absolutely stunning!

ana Galvan I been coming here for some time now and it seemed to be ok but at that time I would only ask for some mani pedi with just color no design nothing. So little by little I would notice their quality started going down they use the same utensils never new they kept cutting meandering rough. This last time just today I went again (I go every 2 weeks no more then 3 weeks go by) I asked for a half and half one half my finger being one color and the other a different color and they couldnt even do that it took almost the whole damn salon to try and do a simple design and then the owner wants to kind of be rude about it because she tried to put to colors on top of one another. Id think after so long and being a continuous client shed be more friendly nope and then they have the nerve to speak amongst themselves about it so one of the ladies finally got it and it was not the greatest job but I just let it be and not complaint because I just wanted to get out already. They left nail polish all over my fingers look it was just so sloppy. Also they dont have none of their license posted to where you should be able to see them when working not one! I was just very unhappy Ill be taking my services elsewhere!

Cynthia Rodriguez I have been coming here for awhile now. I am quiet, do not complain, am a very easy going customer, and I tip very well. Originally, I remember the reviews on here not being good but I took them at face value and decided to not judge a book by its cover. In the beginning, I think I was just happy to find a place that was low-key and that was good about accepting walk-ins, so I feel that I have ignored a lot of the bad service and poor quality of work. Over time the customer service has become so disappointing. Many of the workers treat you with bare minimum customer service and do not value their customers business. In addition to this, the quality of their work varies. I have had pedicures from every person that works there, which means skills will vary (understandable) however, whats not understandable or acceptable is when you make an appointment with the ladies that you know to typically produce quality work and then they rush you through your appointment, hurting you and cutting you with the file, just to get the next person waiting. Horrible to treat good, returning customers like their business means nothing. At my most recent "appointment" I had to wait 30 minutes and then received the most disappointing service. From my pedicure to my nails, it was all rushed and the end results was dissatisfying. I will no longer be a customer here.

Cassandra Terrible Service! Lady was so rude . If she didn’t want to do my nails she could’ve let me know and I could’ve taken my business somewhere else. She rushed through the whole process of doing my nails resulting in them looking horrible and they weren’t busy at all . I did ask her to redo my gel and to be honest it didn’t make a difference. So if you’re thinking of going here I’d suggest maybe trying a different nail salon. also just a day after getting my nails done the clear top coat gel turned yellow.

Pamela Reid The ladies were very sweet but this was not a good experience. I sat twisted in a dining chair while one lady crouched to do my pedicure in an at home pedicure bucket and the other hurriedly did my nails. I was finished within a half hour. She painted my nails with my sandles on. Then charged me $52.

Isaura Garcia Ive been here four times. I really appreciate the care and profesionalism from both manicurists. They are patient and dont rush. I always try a different look for my nails. This time around, "⚽ World Cup"! Colombia

Bianca Cobarrubias I went 9 days ago to get a gel manicure and the nail polish started coming off from a nail the next day. Now, three of my nails are like that. The lady who did them seemed to be in a rush. On a positive note, the place is very clean, spacious and nice.

Emilee Stark Went to Elegant 7 Nails as a walk-in and was immediately seated and helped. I had Minh as my nail tech and she was awesome! She paid attention to detail and did exactly what I requested. She was super accommodating when I wanted to change the shape a little bit and make them shorter even after she had started. Minh also made sure to get everything exactly right. She did some trial and error with the colors and designs on one nail until she got it just right! Then she did the rest of my nails the same. I truly appreciate how she took the time to make my nails exactly how I wanted for halloween! Definitely will be coming back.

maria lopez My first time coming here and I loved the service and the work. Henry did my nails and he did amazing he was very attentive to detail and took his time to perfect the shape and art.

Christina Ng Called to see if they had time for a walk-in and they did. They weren’t busy on a Sunday around lunchtime which was perfect for me since I never plan ahead. Quoted $40 for gel manicure on the phone. I came in wanting a certain color had a photo on my phone. One person was confident what color it was and it came out perfectly. It’s a perfect match if you can see from the side by side photo. Plenty of parking available. Color: Bubble bath with chrome on top. Chrome was extra $10. Hoping it will last me 2 weeks because I love the color.

Sonia Carranza Got an eyebrow wax here, lady was super aggressive and kind of rude and she tried to charge me for a service I never asked for. I went in there only trying to get my eyebrows done, however she offered me a nose blackhead removal, I replied with no that’s okay maybe another day, however she still did it. Thinking it was an extra free service she did to be nice I was fine with it, however upon paying she tried charging me $30. Plus she also cut under my eyebrow after finishing up with a razor.

MARi SOl Accepts Apple Pay ! Very nice clean, smells fresh. Lady’s where super attentive and making sure I was happy with my nails

jannymm jannymm I asked for soak offs and the lady started cutting my acrylic nails and taking them out forcefully without any soaking I told her they were hurting and she would not stop and she ripped my real nail out. She didn’t even put anything on them just left them like that in that case I would have done it myself but I did not because I didn’t want to damage my real nail but she ended up damaging them even more.

Letty Jimenez Came in for pedicure and honestly my toes are in pain. She cut me and was so aggressive . I also don’t think they are sanitizing the tools I hope I don’t catch fungus.
