I couldn’t understand much of what he said. However after painting my toenails sloppily, I had to ask him to clean them up. He then put a huge amount of warm lotion on my legs, (so much that it needed a towel to remove it) but instead he quickly pulled down my leggings to absorb the lotion.Also the nail drying station is FULL of lent! I won’t ever return their for services.

My mom went to get her nails done and she felt the nail polish they were using was old. She told one of the employees but they assured her it wasnt. Next day, less than 24hrs, nail polish was already chipping off.

Firstly, I can tell that some of these reviews are totally fake just by the quality of the pictures theyve posted. Looks like they used stock photos of nails. While I liked the price of the mani/pedi ($45), I quickly learned you get what you pay for. Went 2 days ago and the manicure I got has to be the worst job Ive ever seen. I had a gentleman do my nails and had to keep correcting him because of the way he was shaping my nails. They were all at a slant and extremely uneven. I asked for my index fingernail to be round but after several attempts to explain, I gave up and ended with a square shape. The paint job was bad too and only lasted maybe a day before it began chipping. And I mean bad chipping like I had it for 2 weeks versus 2 days. They eventually had another guy paint and he made it better but when I asked them to redo a nail, they did not. It had a big glob of paint that looked terrible. I eventually just removed the polish altogether. My moms nails also began chipping and it looks like they didnt even clean up the polish on her toes. I would not recommend this salon to anyone.

1. the actual shaping and fill part was really good he did great but the design is so bad, i’m painting over it when i get home, i felt bad so i tipped well, but it looks really bad.. i should’ve just done a solid color2. i took my mom out to get her nails done and she said she asked for pink nails and got a french manicure with one pink nail and she was trying to tell them and three people were standing in front of her trying to fix them and they put a design on her pink nail instead lol she was rlly upset

I went to get my eyebrows waxed and have never had an issue before today. When I got home I realized that they were extremely uneven and one side was more waxed in the center than the other eyebrow. I called to complain and they told me to go back to get it fixed and I had to pay again and they still look uneven to me. The lady said that they looked fine and that it’s because one of my eyes droop but that doesn’t explain why one eyebrow has a different shape than the other. When I raise both eyebrows it is very noticeable. Don’t come here to get your eyebrows waxed if you care about your face.

The overall experience was good I guess I got a pedicure full set n eye brows (every shop always gotta argue with me when I tell them how thin I like my brows SMH) but I wanted coffin nails and if you look at my pictures its more square than coffin imma give them 1 more chance cause I need a fix/fill in and hope I can update my reviewUpdate I like the chrome and the guy who did my nails but the customer service from the ladies there is kinda rude

I got my nails done a week ago, the next day 2 of them popped off. so I just glued them because I live too far to go back. the day after more came off.. now it’s a week later and ALL of them fell off. I will never come here again, the quality is poor and I paid 70$ for a full set.

If you’re working in a nail salon, wouldn’t you know how to work with a no-chip color?!. How is it professional when I asked a question and the nail tech, ( it was a men) answers with a shoulder shrugge.!? Love your job or go do some real men job.

For The first time In a long time I decided to go back to Cali nails and they convinced me to get a no chip for the first time which I loved and she did a great job so I decide to go back and get a no chip lady wasn’t there from first time my biggest mistake by still staying and letting someone else do my nails but anyways I went on a Sunday December 30. By Monday night my nail polish peeled off So I went back Tuesday and I told her I payed $40 for a no chip why did this peel she said cuz the way I layed my hand to let it dry πŸ€” okay later on that day two other nails polish start peeling, so okay r we paying for a no chip but really ain’t a no chip, or they just adding to much polish on, what’s really going on.

I asked for a pink and white ombrΓ© on acrylic nails. WAY too thick and long even after I asked her to cut them down. $60 wasted. Had to wait 25 mins into my lunch time which was fine but when my friend sat down at the manicurists chair, that lady’s appointment arrived and she asked my friend if she could wait longer! Rude.

Lisa has talent, but she is rude. This is the only reason as to why I would never return. I gave her two visits to get it right and it didnt work. Also, she should update the business license since EXPIRED years ago. Why would you have that on display?

Review β„–33

Unfortunately my husband took my sister, my daughter and I to Cali nails to get our nails done. The next day my daughters nails started falling off one by one. They didnt crack or nothing just the whole nails started coming off. So I called them and they told me to come in and get them fixed. They fixed them and that night her thumb nail fell off and yesterday she is without four nails. This was a gift for her before she got on the plane back to Alaska. While waiting for them to fix her nails I had them do my eyebrows. Welp now I am sitting with huge bumps around my eye brows it looks horrible. They rush. They dont take their time and theyre not practicing sanitation. When they tell you to wash your hands they have one scrub brush sitting in a bowl. No soap dispensery and one towel to dry your hands off. Im very dissatisfied after spending 150$ with them.

They take forever to attend to you. And when they do, if they do, they are very rude. They talk about you in your face and get defensive when you ask about prices.I would not recommend this place to anyone. There’s a place across the street that is better.

Today is march 23, 2017.I arrived here at 6 oclock there was barely anyone in here. No one greeted me. Here it is 6:45 and she now tells me I have to wait an hour .Very unprofessional. Not a good variety of colors. Basically if you dont have an appointment youll just be waiting here for nothing ! I do recommend anyone to go here. Im someone that gets there nails done once a week and this place is horrible !

Ive been going there for years but lately everytime I go there I leave disappointed. Either my nails are too thick or they rush painting my nails and leave streaks. Twice now Ive had to come back because my no chip lifted within 24 hours. Currently looking for a new nail shop.

It was okay. The manicurist did not speak English so there was a lack of communication. I also thought it strange that there was no receipt given and they requested cash.

Wednesday November 16th I went into the shop to get a no chip manicure, as it was referred to me by a friend. Two days later my nails began to chip, but they were supposed to last for about two weeks. I didnt have time to return to the shop until Sunday the 20th. Upon entering I showed them my nails and they agreed to fix them. They started but, left me sitting at a station, and switching me from station to station and taking customers ahead of me insisting they would get to me soon.After an hour of this game I had enough and just ask for my money back. Manager refuses and gets really rude. I had to call the police this lady was so impossible.She tells me i have to speak to the owner and to call M-F. I didnt want to because i didnt trust they would hear me out if I left. But after calling the police and still getting no where with her. I ask for the number....would you believe this woman hands me the shops number???????? She then says i cant give out the owners number. Im thinking wasnt that your idea in the first place.Thats not even the best part! She then tells me the owner is on vacation and wont be back until the following Friday! Yet this entire time she was saying call anytime M-F! unbelievable!
