Inexperienced staff. Do not have them use the electric nail polish remover; in fact, just avoid going here.

I had a special drive-in concert to attend and wanted to feel my prettiest. I made an appointment with Sarah to get my nails done and then couldn't resist getting the full pedicure treatment as well. There were Covid precautions put in place, I was impressed with ability to be safe but still comfortable. Sarah did a gorgeous job on my nails, I have received SO many compliments. Helen went above and beyond on my pedicure. I was elated and felt ready for LA! I love going to this shop, always a warm and friendly experience that leaves me feeling relaxed and pretty. Edit: Ok guys, I seriously can't express how grateful I am for Sarah. I don't even understand how she intuitively knew what I needed. Not only did she fit me in last minute so that I could get my nails adjusted out of glamour back into the real world but she did it with so much skill. She gave me the exact length, edge, shape and style I have always wanted in order to feel beautiful and feminine while still being capable of functioning in my labor demanding job. I was in awe as I watched her give me a beautiful "at work" version of my stunning "glamour" nails. Please go and support this wonderful family and business in our small town. I don't want to ever imagine what it would be like to not have them around! read more

Went to get pampered for my Bday and Sara went above and beyond. She was so kind and super talented. Definitely felt comfortable and super relaxed which is hard to be during the current climate. All safety precautions were in place and everyone remained extremely respectful about social distancing. First Nails is a huge piece of our community and I will continue to support them for years to come. Thanks Sara!!! read more

Went in for a fill and left with a new set that I am absolutely in love with. Sarah is so good at what she does. She has a great eye for shape and stability. Which mean so much to me as I am not easy on my nails living on ranch. I've been to First nails a few times over the years. Never had any complaints but today I just have to brag on the service. It was above and beyond to me and they take the precautions for COVID seriously. And I know that's important to some. If you need a fill, pedi, new set or pretty much anything I thoroughly recommend First nails in Willits. read more

DO NOT COME HERE! THEY ARE CROOKS! Gave my mom a certificate and when my mom came to use it, they said the person that gave it to her no longer works there. Well, the certificate was not from the Person, it's from the business. THAT IS POOR BUSINESS PRACTICE. Especially in a small town that is patronized by my mother who is a resident of Willits for the last 7 years. If you are cruising through town, they just want your money! They don't care about the service! Your better off having your husband cut your nails! Go to Ace hardware to paint your nails. read more

Had a full set of acrylic false nails in almond shape done by Sara! She is the best nail technician I have ever had I've been seeing her since 2018, she does the perfect shape and quicker than anyone else I know. Felt more than safe with all the precautions they have implemented due to COVID while still feeling pampered. To say I will be back is an understatement. read more

The products are nice, along with services. My issue was the woman that did my husbands pedicure asked fir a tip, he than pulls out a few dollars and she says, "that's it?" if I need to explain this... You're missing the point. read more

I have going to First Nails and Willits for several years. Helen, Sarah, and Lee always go out of their way to make me feel welcome and they do an excellent job. I highly recommend. read more

Good service. The lady who did my nails did amazing. I got the nails i wanted the reference picture had a design but i didn't want one so i asked for no design. It's perfect read more

I would do zero stars due to the horrible customer service. The lady trying to do my nails put my tips crooked. I asked her to fix one and she yanked it off making my nail bleed because she took out some skin. I was in pain she automatically just stuck another tip on top not even disinfecting it and disregarding the fact that it was bleeding. Horrible wont ever go in there again. Not worth it. read more

I went Tues for nails and pedi and I LOVED my time there. I went back today for a wax (brizilian) Sarah helped me on Tues and she continued to assist me today and she was quick with the brizilian! I am happy...I am NOT from here (marin county) My bf and I come here from time to time but I enjoy this place. read more

Came here last month, I hardly ever get my nails done, i'm talking about once every 2 years. There were fruit flies everywhere I'm surpised one didnt fly into my nail polish. You can clearly tell they were talking negatively about me.. which made me want to walk straight out. The lady was rude about my eyebrows, i do them myself and let them grow out before plucking or waxing. She threw it in my face that they werent perfect and tried to get me to pay her to do it. When i declined she rolled her eyes and clearly talked about me to ger co worker. Rude, very freaking rude. This is why i do my own nails and eyebrows myself. Never coming back and would not recommend to anyone, not even an enemies. read more

Often times I go to Ukiah, but sometimes there's not enough hours in the day. This place has been around for a few years, they se to have a high turn over and a few long-timers. I love that Helen remembers me, and she knows I should be in Ukiah with Rose (my Ukiah favorite) .. I can always expect to be offered something to drink and they don't mind my picky ways. They offer waxing (which I have not used), massages too (haven't done that either), gel nails that I love, but destroy my nails, so I stick with the basic pedi. Some chairs need to be replaced, this is not the city and yet I love coming here. They are always busy, so that's got to say something, despite the few negative reviews. I love people watching out the window and I always leave happy! Who doesn't love a pedi? After all, I'm not painting them.. Thanks first nails! read more

I found 1st Nails about 3 months ago and I absolutely love the work they have done on my Mani's & pedi's the paraffin wax they do on your feet is so amazing! It's giving hands & feet love!! Everyone that works at 1st nails is very kind and not judgemental and they actually do what I want for my nails. I live out of town and I drive an hour and half to come get some nail & toe love for me! Thank you 1st nail you all are super GREAT! read more

Definitely not worth one star. Horrible place! Don't waist time & money here. Rushed job, no attention to detail. After not having a pedicure for a couple of months, I was really looking forward to a more detailed pedi. Not recommending this place to anyone. read more

It is such a clean nail shop. The technicians are very friendly and did a good job on my nails. Best nail shop in Willits so far. I'll come back read more

I am very Disappointed on how bad of a work they do! I will never go there again! I can't believe I spent money on this type of work! I asked the lady to fix it and she didn't understand what I was saying . I would not recommend this place to no one . read more

1st Nails - I am so disappointed on how poor of a job they do there! I will never go back - Nail Salons Near Me - Willits, California

I don't wanna have to write this all the employees are really nice that's not the problem at all however the price gouging is ridiculous. Just for a gel manicure and pedicure it's $90, every time I go in I'm hassled to spend more for the pedicure and every time I say no and yet I'm still charged a random price, sometimes 35 sometimes 45 sometimes 55. The last time me and my friend went my previous gel was not taken off completely, and as a result the new gel that was put over top started to crack. Sometimes it seems the goal is just to get as many people in and out as possible which is understandable but I should for $90-$100 be receiving a gel polish removal and re-application to it's Full service. read more

Went in to have a self love/pampering day... Asked for a simple mani, pedi. Pick out my color (not gel polish) Sit on down to start my pedi.... Lady does 75% of what I asked for... ok. Guy comes over to start my mani... Starts first hand....new customer comes in... leaves doing my nails to start bath for another customers pedi....um ok... Comes back starts on other hand... Ready for polish... has ask what color... I tell him same one she used on my toes(purple) ok gel nails (mani&pedi) $70 ok. Wait what um no I picked out plain purple nail polish... no she do gel on toes... um no gel nails(mani)plz, I just want a plain purple polish. Man comes back with what looks like dark purple...ok... does mani... not paying attention spacing out... I look down.. he painted my nail blue not purple Wtf! Ok.. its ok... not what I asked for but I'll make due.... dry nails 15 minutes... grab wallet to pay.. smug thumb and some others too... Guy comes over repairs thumb paint only Sit under fan light thing 15 more minutes... Ok finally done... How much $50 not $40 because I got gel toes (again did not ask for gel). So i pay n off i go.... So now in walking down the street with purple toes nails & navy blue fingernails... Gel toes I didn't ask for and $10 added to my regular mani-pedi.....that's $1 extra each toe nail. When did they start only painting with gel polish? Because the polish I picked had no indication of being a gel polish... and how the f#$k does someone go to find plain purple polish and come back with navy blue Kevin is letting his business got to shit... I had been hearing bad things about first nail, but I didn't believe it till this last visit... Sadly it's not just the willits salon but the ukiah one too... my friend went to the ukiah one the day after I went into willits and was disappointed as well **There's more I could say about my not so happy mani-pedi experience. But you get the picture** read more

This place doesn't have someone greet you at the door or do your nails correctly and occasionally they will argue with you passive aggressively. There eyebrow waxing is pretty good but there tinting is HORRIBLE. There is no difference what so ever. read more

This is the worst Nail Salon I've encountered!!! I've had to come several times bc there's hardly a "Choice" here in Willits!! They are always in a hurry & Never seem to Cater to what the "Customers" wants! My nail shape has came out super square and short on a few occasions! They grind my real nail down to nothing to where it hurts for days!!! I have to repeat myself several times and it still does not get through!! I'm so disappointed in their customer service skills and nail tech experience! So so sad I spend $40 sometimes $50 and walk out so disappointed!!!! I've had nails for over 6 years and this is once of the WORST places:( NO STARS!! Go somewhere else! read more

NEVER GO TO THIS PLACE!! My friend had well over $1,000 stolen from her from her bag. She was the only person in the shop and was surrounded by the staff. They refused to help after and would not return the money. What a shame. read more

Decent nails. I asked for a particular person because I like one person to do my nails and toes. However, they sanded my acrylics down so much at the cuticle, its been 3 days and I already need fills. The guy painting my nails did a crap job, and looked at me like " wheres my tip?" lol I think I will skip the pedi next time. read more

Decent place. Could be a little cleaner/neater. Staff was very nice. Very happy with my acrylic nails. My nail tech did a fun design, perfect for Christmas. Prices were very reasonable. read more

The customer service and quality of work is lacking. I would agree with previous posts, and if you are looking for a nail salon in Willits, try City Nails instead for better quality work and great service. read more

Had ok service here before, but today was awful. Water in foot bath was cold. The first person didn't know how to do zebra stripes so he asked for help- the next person did them and they turned out looking like waves instead of zebra. After multiple pictures I looked up to show them how they should look I ended up doing them myself. When it was time for the leg and foot massage he stared out the window rubbing the rock back and forth on the bottom of my foot not even massaging at all. Then went to put my sandals on before nails were dry and without taking the paper towel out and messed up the zebra stripes on one foot-- so I had to paint my own nails a second time!! I am really curious to know if these people really even went to school or not :/ if you want your nails done I would seriously recommend going to city nails instead. Same prices but they are way better in quality of nail designs and customer service. read more
