Nail salon 21 Reviews in Petaluma, CA

Marina Travel A few years ago, I found the BEST nail salon in the valley! I return regularly for the immaculate hygiene, comfy setting, friendly service, and attention to detail. To help keep prices reasonable, they only take cash and Venmo, so be prepared.

Eszter Rabin I got a mani/pedi from this place. The place is nice and the mani pedi I received is ok - expect that - the lady who did my nails spent more time watching the two huge TV screens (one with a cooking show, one with a travel show) than my hand or feet that she was working on. In fact she sat sideways away from me so she can see the TV better. To say that I didnt feel valued as a customer is the understatement of the century.

Julia Karr Not sure why people said they had bad paint jobs. Wanted to make sure there was a recent review to show the paint job is great and as expected! (Ignore my feet, haha) Quick, friendly, and cost effective. I’ll be back! Also got a gel mani that was great. Cash/Venmo only.

A & K Hosted our daughter’s 8th birthday here and it was amazing. The staff, Mini and Tony are so nice. We had the best time and they made we’ve girl feel so special. Also, they did a great job and our polish stayed on for a long time. Great prices too!

Darby Tarantino Ive had my nails done by Andy a couple of times now and he does an incredible job. His attention to detail is extraordinary! Hes a master at his craft and I would highly recommend him and the team at Beautiful Nails for your pedicure and manicure needs!

charlottenicely I had an amazing time at Sweet Soul Beauty Bar! I had a brow wax and a facial done the week of my wedding by Christina. She was wonderful and it was such a great experience! This is an amazing women owned and operated small business. Check them out for your beauty needs!

Angela Carafa Recently had a massage with Kell, amazing from start to finish amazing. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, very clean. Kelly shows her passion in massage through her touch. I felt relaxed and at ease the duration of my appointment and not to mention her oils were absolutely one of a kind. Will be a referring and returning client.

Kayla Waldner I absolutely loved my pedicure from Jasmine! The drive from Santa Rosa was totally worth it. Her attention to detail was unmatched--its been over a week, and my toes still look fresh! The scrub and massage were also amazing. I highly recommend Jasmine for any nail services!

Kirstin Tolomeo Just had my first brow tint with Christina and mani/pedi with Rebecca. Everything was perfect. Was really able to relax and enjoy. And the services were outstanding!

Sheila Martin Loved the convenient location and relaxing vibe! Kelly’s healing and restorative massage was epic! Highly recommend for treating yourself! Self care is important!

hilda teran-franklin My manicurist. Shes the best. Ive been a customer for 35years. She keeps my nails and toenails looking elegant.

Mary Chelton Elaina is professional, detailed and quick after decades of nail care. She also takes the time to compare nail color choices for best option for your skin complexion. Wish I had started to come to her sooner after some bad experiences in the area.

Roberta Bostian Shes absolutely wonderful! Great experience!!

jack ngo No good massage

Barry Spencer Wonderful massage. Very professional and relaxing.

Vanessa Cavallaro Hayley is incredible. I was late for my appointment and she was so gracious and kind. She did a fabulous job on my brows and the experience was comfortable and pain free. I am for sure booking more sessions with her.

Ashley Rosentreter Hayley is my absolute go to for facials! My skin always looks and feels incredible after my appointments with her. She uses quality products and is so knowledgeable and always gives me tips on what I can do to improve my skin. Will never get a facial anywhere else!

Teresa Graves Hayley is so amazing! I always leave her care with the BEST skin! I go once a month and have never been disappointed, and she’s affordable too!

rey del I had my lash lift here with Haley even though they are super short but I actually loved it, she also tinted them which made it darker and looked like I had eyeliners on. The place is nice warm, smells soo good and very comfortable. All the ladies are very sweet, professional and just really good at what they do from my research on yelp and here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM .

hilda teran-franklin Love my new pedicure. 1st time w/ Nila. She is professional and personable. I will be returning when my long time manicurist is out

Michele Velasquez Any services I have received from multiple providers at this location have been amazing. Thank you, ladies.

Mel Goldade Coorperative Beauty by Nila is in a great location with plenty of parking. Once you walk in the door it is a very welcoming environment with a friendly staff, the salon is clean and tidy. All the services I have received by multiple providers have been great, I always leave satisfied.

M C A very welcoming and warm energy the moment you walk into this salon. The ambiance has an aesthetic appeal designed to make you feel comfy and taken care of. Cooperative Beauty by Nila are Co-vid precautious, it’s very reassuring. Be prepared to be taken care of professionally, warmly and have your services done responsibly. Very knowledgeable and helpful in all aspects of hair, nails & waxing.

miss pottsticker Excellent manicure and pedicure in a beautiful relaxing environment using quality products .

Karen S I had my lashes tinted and lifted by Brittany and I couldnt be more pleased. Very professional service, friendly employees and clean facility. I will be going g back. The price was fabulous as well.

shreya S I had my extensions done by Amanda. She was really patient with me. She is really good as well. Really recommend her. I did regular extensions.

Andrea Creer They are so kind and prices are very reasonable!

Nancy Sterling Such a wonderful experience. So relaxing and I love my lashes!

Sarah Grace H I had one great eyebrow wax here--truly phenomenal. The woman was kind and overly attentive. It was a great experience. She made me feel and look great. I came back and had a new person. This other person was so-so. She never asked me any questions about how I wanted my eyebrows shaped and left feeling demoralized because they looked so bad and there was not a way to fix them. I think this place is okay if you are picky about who you get. There is definitely a difference in quality between estheticians. Im probably not going to go back.

Heather Cohen This is such a cool store with great products and lovely staff. Unfortunately the eyebrow shaping I paid 30.00 for left my eyebrows looking lopsided with one side thinned more than the other. Im not getting an option to post a photo...but I have one . I should have looked at the eyebrow shaping reviews as I can see this isnt their strong suit

Rowan Cunningham I booked a 1 1/2 hr combo Swedish/deep tissue with a gift certificate for my birthday. My masseuse was Kelsey. I can easily say it was the best message Ive ever had. I have a pretty tense neck + shoulders, and Kelsey seemed to know exactly where all the sore spots were. Might have been drooling a bit by the end of the appointment. Will definitely be coming back in the future :)

Julia Reed Shakira! Shakira! Shakira! I booked a facial online blindly, no preference for who does it, as I had never had a facial at soft shell (after hearing many great things I decided to try it). I was match (like a match made in heaven) with Shakira. Not only was she SO honest and transparent with my service (I booked something she didn’t feel I needed) she was with products too. No up-sales no BS. She gave me only two products and told me to use them till the next time I see her (I was like are you sure that’s all??? And she just said trust her). Less is more. I booked out 3 appts with her after that appt. Every time I have seen her she has been nothing but exceptional, transparent, honest, incredible work ethic (rare to come by now a days), so incredibly genuine. She gave me her cell if I had any question about my skin, as there were a couple things we were working on, I have texted her a few times regarding that, she not only is so responsive, she is so helpful. She has made such a difference not only in my skin, but my life. I am a FOREVER client to Shakir, whether she stays at soft shell forever or has future endeavors. I have given her card to every lady in my life to go see her because she is rare and under appreciated. Book Shakira! *disclaimer I have had many facials at various spas and salons, so I have facial experience, and this is hands down no question the best facial and experience.

Anna Hautzenrader Joanna is amazing. She puts the therapist in massage therapist. Probably the best massage Ive ever had. Will definitely be back. She focused on the problem area I mentioned (my neck/shoulder) just enough without neglecting or rushing through the rest of my body. Pressure level was perfect- strong enough to work on the knots without being too intense. She checked in enough to make sure I was comfortable without being too chatty.

cristina fernández I loved Karla! she did a great job with my hair and gave me great ideas. Lovely place and service! I am telling all my friends!

Carlos Calito She does the best hair for ladies. Im amazed with her professional work.

Monica Martinez She is absolutely amazing and very professional.

IRA Martin Karla is really very professional and her work was impeccable and at very good prices!!! Her establishment is very nice, relaxing and very clean, she is very nice and works on your hair exactly the job you asked her to do. THANK YOU KARLA IRELAND.

Freddy A Calito Professional and excellent service

Ann Edminster Fantastic and energizing pedicure/foot massage! A clean and relaxing environment; skilled practitioners.Our go-to place for pedicures.

Tracy Greenwald I’ve been getting pedicures at Naturally Happy Feet & Fingers for 15 years. They are friendly and efficient, and I always enjoy a relaxing experience there. I love the peaceful environment free of the noxious odors of artificial nails, and the sanitary copper tubs with replaceable liners. Highly recommended.

Aumarie Benipayo Wow! What a relaxing and sweet experience here. The technicians take such good care of you here.

Angela Casey These folks are wonderful. I have been using their services for years and have always had an excellent service by lovely people.

Victoria Webb I love this place. They take great care of you and you could add a bonus extended massage on.

Caitin Wilder Esmeralda is great! So much so that I travel over a hour to get my lashes done by her. She caters to each one of her clients individuality when creating their lash sets and her retention is amazing. Other than cosmetic based care, she is just a genuine soul to be around and her positive vibes are sure to brighten your day.

Nancy Purtell Please. Go here. Do yourself a favor. The aesthetic is phenomenal. Such a cute place. So well decorated. Smells amazing. Super clean. I had the incredible pleasure of meeting Emily, Tat, and Esmeralda at my facial visit. This was an experience unlike any other. So affordable for the high quality services. They do everything here. Botox, facials, lashes, etc. Which is so convenient!! And the women that work here…. Some of the most wonderful and kind women I’ve met in my life. They were all so sweet, and friendly! Love this place so much!

Serienity Galvez I have gone to Esmeralda about 4 or more times after winning one of her giveaways on Instagram. No joke - shes quick, gentle handed like a feather, shes a perfectionist, and her lashes arent cheap & thick (as I experienced at other beauty bars). I have gotten my lash extentions done a few times before with other lash techs but they suck and I had horrible experiences from the solution products, stupid girl took scissors to my real lashes (while my eyes were closed so I couldnt tell), lashes are hard and shabby into the eyelids, etc. Im telling you I was scared for this giveaway but I gave Emerald Beauty Bar that chance after lash trauma & I dont regret it! Ladies!!!! Esmeralda has a magic power that gave me confidence on a daily even when I feel like its Monday... lol Give her a try bc shes worth it!

Starla Ballantine I cannot fully express in this short review how fantastic, professional, and wonderful Tat of Emerald Beauty Bar is at Lash Extensions as well as just being an absolute sweetheart who is kind, considerate and fun! She is the best and I feel so fortunate over these past years and look forward to many more!

King Leo Laporte Wish I could give a positive review of this place but Phoebe (new employee?) refused to paint my toenails "because I was a man". Luckily they were able to fit me in at Allure Nails on Mcdowell. Thank you Jennifer!

nancy holland Cindy at top Nails is the most patient, creative and talented nail tech I’ve met in a long long time. They were so kind at this lovely and very clean nail salon! And everyone made me feel very comfortable and special. It’s hard to find a great nail salon that takes charges reasonable prices and takes the time to meet your needs. This one is a keeper and Cindy is a star. !!!!

Meghan Danby I loved it so much Sophia did a wonderful job.

Ashley Chan i’m visiting from new york for the holidays and needed to get my nails done. this was my first time getting this kind of nail art and cindy nailed it! I loved it so much, I came here a second time 2 weeks later to get my nails done again before I head back to the east coast!

C A They were very nice and easy to talk to. My mom has never gotten her nails done and told the woman doing her nails. The woman showed her 4 neutral colors and my mom picked what she liked best. My color was "funny bunny". I wish it was more opaque and more flat (it has some depth with blue sparkles you can barely see, really, you cant see the sparkles unless it is in direct light and you really look), but I didnt ask for any changes, I was still happy with it. I will go here again.

Valerie Cantrell FIrst time visit to First Hand, had my nails done by Tracy. She did a great job! The visit was so relaxing and enjoyable, my nails look beautiful. I will definitely come back!

Jan Fran The people are so nice here, and thats why I gave three stars. In comparison to my old nail salon on the coastside, First Hand charges a bit more but I was willing to pay it, if I had a good experience. My manicure did not even last a week (more like 2 days), the pedicure polish did not last two weeks. I wasnt doing heavy work, either, just typing on a keyboard. Based on that experience, I wouldnt go back. Still looking for the salon in Petaluma that will woo me away from Pacifica Beauty Salon. Maybe its the quality of the polish, I dont know, but Im used to a pedicure lasting a month and nails at least two weeks., and not talking about a gel polish, either.

Kristina Fieldsa My experience at First Hand with Tracy & Angela was wonderful. Their knowledge, experience, chosen product lines for one’s natural nail is quite literally the best! They are incredibly patient with new clients, after having had extensions with acrylic for over five year’s. My nail plates had significant damage from different products, shops, nail technicians etc. Just look at the difference.

Laura grimes Michelle is excellent. The other manicurists seem very good as well. All are friendly and professional. Be sure to call for an appointment, though! They are often booked for the day.

Alejandra Arce I never leave reviews but I think is important because I always read reviews to make sure the place is good. Never in my life had a nail fungus until I started going to this place, had a terrible toe nail fungus on my big toe, :( I don’t think they have a good higiene with their equipment.

Marjorie McCoy Both manicurists hurt my mom and I during our pedicures. One clipped my cuticles too much and cut my skin, and the other was filing in a strange direction and digging into my moms skin. Also my moms nails were not filed the same on each nail. When she asked for them to be filed the same, the girl blamed on her nail bed and was reluctant to do anything further to even them out. I did like the addition of the salt scrub on the legs and the massage was nice. The salon was clean and seemed sterile.

Nina KO I just moved fr SF to Hawaii last year & moved back to No. Cal… staying in Petaluma since this past Mid-June. I’ve been to several nail salons, which was ok & finally discovered “Creative Nails”. I didn’t have an appt today 9/14/23 & they took me anyway. I had gel manicure done & Kim did an excellent job! No bumps, no rough edges, great job! Very smooth & nice looking! She was great & friendly. Yay! Thank you! Kim!

Cora l Did a great job on my pedicure! The man was very polite and painted my nails quite well with a relaxed, unrushed experience. A nice nail place to go, worth it for the price

Amber Garcia I made an appointment just to wait there for over 20 mins after and then once the guy decided he was ready for me, he asked what color I wanted so I said white. The guy then said no and asked again what color I wanted and again I said white. He tried to convince me pink was a better choice. After saying I wanted white 8 times he told me to sit and called someone and talked incredibly loud while filing my nails then asked again what color I wanted. He grabbed white after I said it again and painted one finger and asked if that’s really what I wanted. The pinky was fine then he did another nail and it was completely chunky so I asked if he could take it off. He took one nail off so I said please take the rest off (the base coat) because I changed my mind I did not want my nails done, he said no. So I walked out. Worst experience

Mal Bee I love Dina’s work! She is always updating her gel polish colors and her nail art options so I never have to do any nail repeats. Dina is also great at working with my schedule to get my nails done, which is much appreciated.

Shannon Brewer I love my nails she did a great job! Great conversation and also super relaxing time while I was there! Already have my next appointment!

Ann Fournier Dina was great and very helpful when I had no idea what to do. Did an overlay and did a beautiful job with a design when I gave her free reign after just telling her my favorite color. Got my next appointment booked and would highly recommend!!!

Kiara-Lynn Rossiter Dina always goes out of her way to come up with beautiful nail designs and I never leave with a set Im not completely in love with! She has dealt with my requests and always makes them perfect! If you want gorgeous nails, I highly suggest you go see Dina!

vivi vivi Shirley is a talented artist. Highly recommend this place!!! Her nail designs are beautifully crafted with intricate details. You may choose many different kinds of styles (floral, gems, ombre, and the list goes on). She carefully paints each nail with precision and care. Also, she takes her time to make sure the gel manicure is layered evenly to create a lasting and smooth effect. Since my last visit three weeks ago, my gel manicure is still in great shape. No dry cuticles, no nail chips or cracks, and no bumps. Usually my cuticles are often very dry, but Shirleys meticulous work made them last for a long time. Her chic and modern salon can be a temporary escape from the everyday life. Just a moment to relax and pamper yourself, and the simple joy to look at your beautiful nails.

Betty Blacc I’ve been seeing Shirley a couple times now. If you’re looking for Japanese Nail manicures, I highly recommend her. She is extremely clean, and does an amazing job. She values my comfort and safety during these times and is so gentle with filing, and overall care of my nails. I’ve also trusted her with designs to which she is so talented in. I tell her what colors I want, a type of design and she just goes with it. Truly talented, and highly recommended.

Bianca Nicastro Shirley is an artist! She is detail oriented, timely, and so talented. I am so impressed with my nails and will continue to book appointments with her. She is one of the few if not the only Gel-X Extensions artists in Sonoma county. She is a 5 star artist. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Silvia Marquez Alcala Amazing customer service, and great attention to detail. The staff is so friendly and they work hard to make your nails and experience perfect!

Amy Breeds Everyone at T&T is so great! They always do a fantastic job and pay attention to detail. They remember their customers and they make you feel like part of the family.

Evangelina Marquez Lang & Tom went above and beyond to make my pedicure look perfect. Great friendly customer service.

Desiree McGinnis I absolutely love T&T nails. The owners(Tami & Tom) are very nice. I have been going here for 20 years.

Kelly Sullivan From my very first walk in a few years ago I have only had great experiences. The staff is remembered me after a year long absence and even remembered my prefered colors. Their work is caring and thorough, easily the best pedicure Ive ever had. They dont try to up sell you on products and services, they just do a really good job. The massage is lovely and the polish is near perfect every time. If the number of repeat customers tells you anything you know they arendoing something right. My favorite local nail spot

Izabella Russell Visited there today April 13, 2021. absolutely the worst nail salon in petaluma by FAR. went in for a mani/pedi, showed up on time and the two workers there were extremely rude. also the manicure was plain awful and smudged as SOON as she told me that it was okay. then they refused to fix it then continued to charge me and my friend 133 dollars for just two pedis and One manicure. that was just a simple paint and go. no apology, nothing. absolutely terrible this store is. do not visit this salon. look for better places in the area. if i could add pictures i would. -0/10 ps. this service took 3 hours. our appointment was at 10am and we didn’t leave the building till 1pm.

Elv Raikk Nails were put on crooked, and polish would not dry even after hours! Huge waste of time and money.

Katie Brooke I’ve been going to this nail salon on Edith and East Washington street the last 3.5 years I lived on Edith across from the shop previously. The woman who work there have been nothing but amazing to me. The place is extremely clean & very well aired out from the fresh air outside. I love it because it’s not the factory style nail salon. Very quiet but busy. They do a nice job on my feet & nails. I’ve really appreciated their friendly attitude towards me too. Thank you, owner & the other nail tech for your services. ❤️

Deanna Sanborn I’m very conscious of my hands and Nancy gave me an amazing gel manicure that now I feel confident of how my hands look. She listened to what I wanted and took extra time to give me what I asked for . Thank you for your artistic talent!

Anna-marie Smith I originally came here because it was the only nail salon open on a sunday night at 7:30. but now that i’ve experienced their INCREDIBLE manicure and pedicure, i will definitely be back during some more ‘normal’ business hours. super sweet staff, and a clean & neat salon. they did such a good job on my embarrassingly neglected feet, that i tipped them almost the same amount as the cost of the mani and pedi.

Lizz Ronin Amazing job on nails. Ask for Tiger! Good price and friendly staff.

Lisa Phetphadoung Lisa and her husband have been doing nails at this salon for 25+ years and are absolutely wonderful! I have never had anyone so gentle on my nails EVER! They do an outstanding job! When u walk in it doesn’t smell of acrylic liquid which most places do! They do not charge an outrageous amount to do a fill which right now is $41. And a full set is $51! Give them a try!

Kathleen M Clean salon with friendly staff. Easy in and out parking lot. Great gel manicure & good prices. I will definitely go back.

Jennifer My bandmate and I got simple standard manicures done, chill time

Sara R Always friendly and exquisite work! I enjoy fancy details and these ladies always take the time and effort to make my acrylics perfect. My go-to nail salon in Petaluma. Do make an appointment-they are in high demand b/c they are the best!

Kerry Enright I drive 45 minutes each way to continue to have my manicure and pedicure at Petaluma Nails. They are the best! Clean shop, great color choices, and always try to fit me in. I usually go to Hong and Jennifer, but they’re all just awesome!!

Sandy Aslanian Expert nail care by friendly technicians, peaceful environment, reasonable charges for various services, and ample parking. I highly recommend this nail salon.

Mary-Beth Ray Both Kieu and Lan did a great job tonight on mine and my husband’s feet!

Juicy Moon Always a great time and they do a great job. Very accommodating and friendly.
