Went there cause it was the most reviewed and only one opened on a Sunday. I work all week so weekend is the only time I can really get nails and stuff done. Took me an hour to get my eyebrows, nails and pedicure done. Super quick. Take that how it is lol. I kept asking her for a thin nail and she said “it’s cause your nail too wide.” And that was how thin she can get them. Nice place, eyebrows came out fine. However, if you like short thin nails (almost acrylics, without the bulk of acrylic) don’t go there.

Absolutely the worst pedicure I have ever had. The man didn’t even touch bottom of feet I had to ask for him to smooth the sides of big toes. Still not smooth. Nails trimmed. End of toes needed smoothed. Can see white nails at ends. Will never go back there. $30 plus tip pretty disappointed they have a sign posted. No refunds. Guess that says it all

I got my first french tip ever. Kim was very nice but did my nails very poorly. Theres tons of bubbles in my acrylic french set and she blamed it on the liquid. You get what you pay for and this set definitely isnt worth 40$.

This is a lovely team of women, and they made the experience so enjoyable. The space clean, cozy & bright. I got a set of Gel extensions with ombré polish--the attention to detail by my nail tech was beyond!

Review №17

My appointment for 3 was for nothing still waited as a walk in. Then they tried to split is up into different rooms. Two people were done at one time while the other waited. This is why I made a appointment for 3!? Not to mention every single time I get the same service the price is different. Ive never paid the game price but always received the same pedicure. This doesnt make sense to me.

I had the best preceding experience. I come at here with my friends. There were six of us which fit perfectly in the pedicure pods. Everyone was raving about the technicians and what a great job they did.

Review №19

Arranged to have 4 pedicures and 2 manicures on Wednesday for my son’s wedding on Saturday. The pedicures were fine. I asked for a French manicure and was told it would cost $5 additional. That night my polish started chipping. By Thursday several nails had more than half the polish gone. I didn’t have time to go back and have them redone. I had to go buy the polish myself and redo my nails. The polish stayed on this time and my nails looked great . I would not recommend this salon for a French manicure. Very disappointed.

So I went in on Mother’s Day to get my toes and nails done. And they did amazing on my feet so I recommend for pedicures yes but. As for acrylics ehh in my opinion no why?? Cause they charged me 65 for plane black matte with one white nail coffin style and. within the first week and a half 7 of my tips of my nails broke off with eases and I don’t do work I’m a stay at. Home mom so yea you can get ya toes done here but nails be weary

Review №31

I called ahead for an appointment at 6pm. Arrived and had to wait an hour to find out she lacked the time and skill to complete my desired nail style. The tech rushed and complained about the shop closing time, which I think is unacceptable. If you cannot provide proper and desired service STOP accepting customer at a certain time. Not to mention the price is a little ridiculous. Do not recommend! Kim is the nail tech.

Review №32

Lacks in cleanliness & tech that did French pedi lacked in skills. Also the tech that did one of my daughters mani, lacked lots of skill and we had to ask for fixes over & over. Wouldnt waste my money; find a better quality salon. Id not go back here & wouldnt recommend.

Great place! I was unable to get in to my regular nail salon and needed a quick fix before vacation. My fault for leaving it to the last minute! I Googled nail salons and California Nails displayed with high ratings. Am I ever happy I chose them! These ladies got me in a chair instantly and immediately went to work. They were so pleasant and so very quick. Im extremely happy with both the dipt fingernails and gel toenails they did for me; perfect shaping, even color, no ridges or bumps or extreme thickness. And the colors are lovely too! Thank you California Nails! Ten stars!!

Review №38

I went as a walk in with a friend to both get full sets I got a medium length and just plain white and my total was $65.00 my friend got extra long nails with 3 different colors mixed with an extra shape and her total was $75.00. Their price for a full set was $30.00 they said my charge was so much more because they put glitter on my pinky nail to see if I liked it and then when I said it wasn’t my fault that I didn’t even ask for the glitter she then said it was because of my length and my color. Then to top it all off she knew she was WAY over charging me she didn’t tell me the price when I was getting them on and tried to run my card at the end and not tell me my price I had to stop her and ask her first. DO NOT FO HEAR WORK WAS TERRIBLE AND WILL OVER CHARGE YOU!! GO TO PANAMA CITY BEACH!! BETTER PRICE QUALITY AND SERVICE!!!! Will NEVER come back here just a terrible first experience!!

Review №41

I just got done at this salon with my mom, some of the acrylic on my nails is thick and others its thin. I prefer the thin look over the chunky uneven look. I wanted a certain design drawn on my nails and I knew she said she would try, but she may not be able too. I was perfectly okay with that. She got done with my set and I asked about the design and she said, she couldnt do it because my nail was too narrow (other salons never had an issue with the narrow nails), and she said she was going to tell me but I was watching the TV. ????? That just doesnt seem like a justifiably reason not to communicate with me she wouldnt be able to do the design if we cut my nails down more. I would have left them longer if that would get her to attempt the design or chosen a different color. Will never return here.

Review №42

First impression: the ladies are incredibly nice here. I was greeted warmly and showed to where I can wait. My nail tech was owner of the store. She was very personable and sweet! The salon is huge and kept very cleanly.I got French tips gel manicure and pedicure. It turned out super cute! Exactly what I wanted and asked for. I am writing this a week into getting them done and they are still as cute as when I first got them. For every pedicure you get, you’re able to use the hydro massage bed they have. It was such a relaxing experience. They even provide you with a beverage as you get your nails done. This place is the place to go if you want to have a good self care day.

Review №43

The staff are very friendly and accommodating. They are quick to show us the cutting edge and new nail techniques. If I mess up a nail or for some reason I have a problem, they fix it right away without charging me. I love the movies and the water-jet massage bed that completes the spa experience with the soothing sounds and aroma therapy.

Review №44

Was in there for less then an hour. She rushed threw it and as I was finished she charged me $65 for some chunky thick nails when I asked for thin milky white square nails such a waste of time and money when you have a certificate for ur job you need to do it!! Never going to this place again...

I got a brand new refill on Wednesday, the same day two nails lifted and I called to go back over there and they told me not to because they were busy so I took them off two days later and when I looked at my nails one of them had fungus. I’m super grossed out and disappointed. DONT GO THERE

Review №47

I got a dip powder manicure and was overall pleased with the results. I got three different colors of dip, and two of them looked darker on the sample ring than on my actual nail. Still had some excess dry cuticles that could have been removed a little more thoroughly. Overall though I was pleased. The salon is in a cute and quiet area of town.

I found this nail place because they were open on Sundays. I love this place! Everyone is nice and welcomes you as soon as you walk in the door. As for my nails, they did it on point! I got the hombre color. It turned out amazing! The price was reasonable too. Im so glad I found a good nail place. Not to mention the HUGE area they have for pedicures in the back. I was suprised at the size of this place combined! Ill be a regular customer from now on! Thank u ladies!

I went back to visit yesterday evening after a very exhausting day. Let me tell you I received the best pedicure ever. The technician took her time and was very detailed! She was amazing! She gave me an old school pedicure where she took her time, she should teach a class on how to give pedicures!! My nails came out bomb as well! I got a fresh new set! Thank you again ladies!

Review №78

Went in, explained what I wanted patiently and two of my nails were done COMPLETELY crooked, I went in the next day and only one was roughly filed down a bit and I was sent away. Along with that, new files arent used with each customer, most nail tools are unsanitized, and the counters are dirty. I was terrified of getting a cut or scratch from the tools because of the sanitation.

So very happy that I took a chance and walked in! I despise trying new nail salons. I get my nails done regularly and know exactly what I like and have a high level of expectation. My typical salons customer service had really gone down hill so I thought id try California nails. Loved it. My technician Cathy was so kind and sweet. She did an absolutely wonderful job. Prices are fair, quick and friendly service, all around great experience. Also, I was told when you get a pedicure at the end you can get a free water table massage. Um. Yes please! I will be getting a mani and pedi next time and can not wait! So happy go have found a great new place. They earned themselves a new happy and loyal customer!

Went with my assistant manager and waited while she had her nails done again. Didnt smell putrid like other nail salons. Saw a lot of impatient middle class women walk in and then right back out that door though it was more entertaining than watching what they had on their tv. Her nails came out really beautifully too.

I had just got my nails done on Thursday they worked on Messi and poorly the gel is over my cuticle and some of the acrylic is over the bed of my finger! I have three of my nails that you can already see my fingernail they were missed shape and Messy. .. I just went there this morning to see if they will fix my nails after me spending the money I spent on Thursday to get them done and they told me no! for me to come back and have the same woman do my nails again. Mess them up in the first place, I do not recommend anyone to go to this company and get their nails done! !!
