    Just the Way, I like it, not thick white tips.
    Barbara S.

    Andrea did an awesome job on my French tip gel pedicure. So glad I went here. I'll be back.

    So I spend 2 hours and a half in here today . Let me just say I left really upset ! It was my first time here , I went for a Pedicure and a gel manicure . I paid $65 for what I got done and let me tell you it was not worth it ! I wanted to cry of how bad of a job the lady did . I did not get her name but seems like she just moved out to Palmdale about six months ago I'm not sure if she was learning or what was going on . I tried to be positive about it and give her a chance but that was my mistake . Not going back ever ! to over priced and bad service ! If I could give this place zero starts I would . My experience was horrible !

    My set and matching toes
    Janaye R.

    After taking a year off from acrylics due to Covid and moving decided to check out a place near by where I lived they scheduled me the next day after first call. When I arrived at location it was very quiet the staff was nice my nail tech was very attentive to detail and I loved how they didnt bark prices for designs I just showed her a nail look from Instagram and she went straight to work I got a full set extra length acrylic with matching gel color toes w/ design + pedi I'll post a comparison pics to what I was looking for and the final results I'm very satisfied with them will be back again in the future oh yea forgot to mention she free handed the white tips and i didn't have to pay a deposit for appointment.

    I just moved to Palmdale not that long ago, and I couldn't find a good nail salon. I wanted to try out this place and I did a couple a times, and was always satisfied and loved my gel manicure. Today my sister decided to get acrylic French nails and the girl who did them was a joke! I didn't realize how bad they where until on our way home. I was going to go back and try and get them fixed but I decided to take her else where to get them fixed. I've seen other girls work there and they've done a pretty good job, but this girl just new she didn't know what she was doing. Specially me, I've gotten my nails done for years and never have experienced something like this before. The nails where not filed correctly, there's lumps everywhere and there soooooo uneven! Hate to say that I won't be going back after this.

    Thankyou Marcela for my mani and Pedi. She did such a great job and took her time I will definitely be going back

    Looks like I need a fill and got polish over but this is a brand new set
    Lili M.

    I'd like to start off by saying that the women working there made it an enjoyable experience, they were very friendly and patient. I wish I could go back there. However, I didn't like the work at all. I got a full set and pedicure. Full set cost $35 for coffin shape medium length regular polish. And they look terrible. The shapes vary and I came out looking like I needed a full and just got polish over it. The pedicure was disappointing because it looks like just polish. I didn't pay for callus remover so I wasn't expecting complete smoothness but my toes I did expect to look neat. Also toe nail polish chipped after only 3 days.

    Only after two days my nails are lifting
    Amelda S.

    I went to this shop two days ago... I got a pedicure and a full set of acrylics pink and white sand. The woman were very nice and my pedicure came out nice but my acrylic nails are lifting and it's only been 2 days. I might go there for pedicures but not for acrylic nail.

    I was a little skeptical about this place but Selene was amazing. She was so patient with me and took her time to make sure everything was good.

    Indira did great on short nails!!!!
    Caitlyn A.

    Muchas gracias Señorita Indi, me encantaron mis uñas acrílicas!! Thank you Indi, I love my nails! This place is very welcoming in my opinion. It felt refreshing walking into a place where you feel welcomed. The ladies were very friendly and would talk to you very casual. I love it! It was my first time coming in here and im coming back!!!

    Cynthia H.

    So my mom and I have been to this nail salon 3 times to have pedicures done. My mom is very insecure about her feet, and the ladies here always make her feel comfortable. They take the time to remove calluses and ingrown nails, their utensils are always clean and newly disinfected. They make the experience an enjoyable one.

    First time coming here and Marcela did a beautiful job. Will definitely be coming back. Prices are reasonable and very friendly service

    Coffin nails
    Alice P.

    I went in for fill for a full set I did somewhere else and I had told Her I hate the way the left them shape , she told me not worry she has done coffin nails many times before and sure enough she did an amazing job and it was perfectly shape. She took her time to reshape them and I will definitely come back and the staff was very friendly and helpful with my nail situation .

    TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL HARASSMENT It has taken me a long…read moretime to write this review but I genuinely thought this business would have shut down by now. To my surprise it hasn't... . But it has come to my attention that the owner of this business (Tommy) has CONTINUED to sexually harass their clients. SO here is what happened to me in 2020: They were only taking one-on-one appointments due to COVID regulations. At the time I was 22 years old. His wife and daughter were in the business towards the back of the business in a room so it was just me and him in the main lobby on a pedicure chair. I had scheduled to do a manicure and pedicure. It started off with a regular manicure and pedicure and his weird comments began. Comments as in "you look so much younger than your age because of how small and petite your body is" -- the comments continued "you have really nice hands and really nice feet" -- they continued, "you are gonna look young for a very long time since you are small and have such a nice body" then the routine of a massage on the feet and calves began (this was normal and expected) THEN his hands traveled up my legs into my inner thighs and then to my shoulders and chest area..... I COMPLETELY FROZE. Up to this day I wish I would have reacted differently but I shut down. I felt completely and utterly paralyzed and in shock!!! It's been years later and I still reflect on how I should have spoken up and reacted differently. One of the most uncomfortable experiences of my life. I truly hope this business shuts down!! that his wife wakes up that her husband is a COMPLETE CREEP, and that should have NEVER happened to anyone!!! I have never received a massage like that in my life just for pedicure!! IT WAS AWFUL AND MADE ME SO UNCOMFORTABLE!!!

I've been getting…read moreacrylic nails for over 40 years, and I can confidently say this is one of the best sets I've ever had. I came in after having a previous set done elsewhere that was supposed to be coffin-shaped but wasn't even close. I was in a rush at the time and accepted them as they were, which I later regretted. After searching online, I found WOW Nail Salon and immediately loved the photos of Amy's work, so I booked an online appointment for an ombré fill. The online booking process was easy and seamless, and Amy was ready for me right on time. I didn't have to wait at all, which I really appreciated. Before my visit, I had tried filing my nails myself to get closer to the shape I wanted, but they were uneven and didn't match. Amy took one look and got right to work. She corrected the shape beautifully, made everything uniform, and completely transformed my nails. They look amazing. On top of her skill, Amy is the fastest nail tech I've ever had. From start to finish, my service took only 30 minutes, and the quality was flawless. She worked on my nails personally the entire time, which I truly appreciated. Amy was not only professional but genuinely kind, with pleasant conversation that made the appointment enjoyable. The salon itself was clean, nicely decorated, and had a great choice of music at just the right volume. The entire staff was professionally dressed and well put together, which really stood out and added to the overall polished, welcoming atmosphere of the salon. I will absolutely be returning for future fills and pedicures, and I highly recommend WOW Nail Salon and Amy.

We walked in for our appointment early expecting to need time to pick colors and they sat us right away and started working. They treated my 6 yr old like an equal participant and took good care of her needs and nails and were kind and patient. Not how we were treated at balisima. Same with me. My pedicurist even continued to massage while the timer beeped for a short bit instead of rushing to be done. Much appreciated. He is also taking great care, paying good attention to detail and fixing any issues as he sees them. Also very relaxing. Its quiete, no loud repetative noises, people talking at normal volume and classic sounds of a nail salon. Enjoyable. Ive had less than nice service at other places around town and this place stands out as amazing in my book. I will say I felt a little rushed by being sat down so quickly and pelted with questions of what services we wanted. But I will be more prepared next time. And all the workers were just awesome I also did not love the physical stretch bending i had to do to get my hand in the UV machine when in the massage chair.

A child was running around the salon crying, yelling, bothering customers, spraying people with misters, playing with the lights, turning them on and off, filling cup holders with water, and even throwing calculators. The parent, who appeared to be one of the nail techs, sat on his phone watching videos and playing games while paying no attention at all. On top of that, several workers were sitting in the massage chairs eating, one was vaping, and conversations were extremely loud. I don't mind normal conversation, but this felt less like a salon and more like walking into someone's home during a party. It was uncomfortable and far from relaxing. The cleanliness and organization were also concerning. Christmas decorations that appear to have been hanging for years were still up and visibly dusty. Stock was not put away. Boxes of nail tips, boxed UV lamps, and napkin boxes were stacked near the front of the salon where everything was fully visible to customers, which added to the overall feeling of disorganization and neglect. That said, Rom did an excellent job on my nails. He was professional, focused, and clearly skilled. My nails turned out great. If it hadn't been for how confident I am in Rom's work, I would have walked out before my service was even over. Unfortunately, the overall atmosphere ruined the experience. A nail salon should feel calm, clean, and respectful of paying customers. I left stressed instead of relaxed, and that defeats the purpose of coming in at all.
