    Halloween set
    Hope H.

    American Nails is my go to spot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And Jennifer is my go to girl, yet everyone is awesome.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Manicures and pedicures on point. I usually go simple but Jennifer will get your designs just how you want them. Full sets, any length, they've got you. Good vibes, relaxing, affordable.

    Full set
    Charity F.

    The full set I received was the best I've ever had.... By Jennifer. My amazing pedicure was by Christine. She also made my dad feel like a king with his manicure! Both Christine and Jenifer did impeccable work. This is a clean and spotless location, and an exact match to the picture I had in mind. I can't wait to come back.

    Go see Nina

    Great service, never a chip or crack in my dipped nails by Nina. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Relaxing vibe like all of the ladies their actually like each other and want to be there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Been coming regularly for over a year. Quick and great quality. My favorite place to relax

    American nails is my favorite place to go to pamper myself and get my nails done. Jennifer has done my nails countless times, and not only is she quick and amazing at her art, she has the sweetest personality, and it's always a pleasure to work with. All of the girls at American nails are very kind and they always greet you when you walk in. The salon is clean, and the decor is super cute too!

    Nina does the best pedicures and nail sets. I've been a loyal client of her's for a couple of years. Not only is she an incredibly talented tech, she is a kind and genuine person. I'll continue giving her my business and recommending her to everyone!

    This place was so lovely! I called in for a walk in and they got me in within 25 minutes! Tim did my nails and he was so nice and funny! It was my first time getting acrylic nails and he did such a great job! I would 100% recommend this place to any of ya'll In the Arden area!

    Full set of acrylics with gel polish
    Christina K.

    I go back and forth between acrylics and gel- Today I got a glittery gold gel manicure from one of my favorite nail techs ever (Emily) and I can't stop staring at it... It's beautiful! Christine did the matching color on my toes and her pedicures are always so relaxing, it's hard not to fall asleep in the chair. I am so glad I started coming here!

    If you are looking for a clean and relaxing day come to American Nails in Sacramento. These women are the nicest professional ladies I have been too in this area. My girl Christine does the BEST gel manicures and pedicures I have ever had. Don't wait and call for an appointment today!!!

    Followed my long time nail technician from another salon to this cute and stylish salon. They have about a thousand colors to choose from in gel and dip. They even recently got glow in the dark powder! They are fast and friendly! 10/10 would recommend!

    Christine is the BEST. This is my new go-to nail salon!!! Super pretty, clean, and kind staff. 100/10 recommend!

    What I wanted
    Mikayla P.

    Went in on a Thursday for a new full set. I showed the nail tech a picture on my phone of a pink & white ombré. I also asked for "coffin". Nail tech used only pink from the pink & white gel, and said that's how it's done, "it's not white, it's clear". It looks NOTHING like the picture I showed. Sunday, I notice the gel is bubbling, on every single nail, so I call and ask if I can come in to have that fixed, they tell me to come in to be assessed. I go in, nail tech tells me "that's just what happens when you use the pink gel only instead of a colored polish" and I said "but I didn't ask for this, I showed you the original photo and this is what you decided to do.." She tells me it'll be $10 charge (after already paying $45 and tipping $10, making it $55) to PAINT OVER the pink gel with a color.. and then I was pressured to leave a tip as well... What I left with.... Still not coffin. It's upsetting because just a few years ago I used to come to this salon with my friend and Tram always did an AMAZING JOB. But anyone else... we're similar results.

    I've been seeing Nina for nearly 10 years and can't say enough good things about her and her work. You would be hard pressed to find a better nail artist anywhere let alone in Sacramento. Her attention to detail and compassion make me a regular and one that had followed her from salon to salon. Overall, American Nails has the best nail artists around. They have put together a team that is the best in the business. Highly recommend!

    Back to American Nails!! New Nail Tech is named Jennifer!! They just remodeled got all new stuff and it looks amazing!!

You're greeted with a warm, friendly smile, and my favorite part is being asked, "What drink would you like, miss?" A complimentary glass of bubbles never hurts. The dedicated service, clean and hygienic atmosphere, and the level of care and precision are truly impressive. It's competitively priced compared to other local shops -- you might pay about $10 more, but you can't really put a price on comfort and luxury. I love it here. Keep up the great work.

Im a bit of a perfectionist so nails that are rough or uneven or have small imperfections literally drive me crazy and have me ripping off nails prematurely.

I love my mimosa I get and just the whole experience from beginning to finish. The team is so welcoming and I always feel so pampered when I come! But again Pam.

I just came back today and got a fill - specifically requested for no polish because I have my family member doing it for my wedding reception this weekend. Somehow the fill was still $50 when I used to get full sets with designs starting at $50. When I asked for clarification I just got told "yeah that's right." I also got a pedicure but I wasn't asked what type, just assumed it was the basic one. Yes it was very nice she did great, I also got french tips. But found out that was $62 and again when asking just got told "yeah that's right." Just a bit frustrating when it doesn't seem like the service was extra or "luxury" per se. Yes I understand it's been awhile as well and inflation is a very real thing. I was excited to come back and Andy was sweet and did a great job. I just can't understand the pricing when at other places it's $40 for a pedicure and $35/40 for fills for the same services. There's no pricing online so maybe that's my fault for not asking ahead of time. Definitely feels like a bit of a rip off and I don't think I'll be back anymore unfortunately.

    I'm from LA and was visiting my sister in Sacramento when I realized I desperately needed to get my…read morenails done. I was honestly really hesitant about trying someone new because I'm extremely particular about my nail shape and have been going to the same nail tech in LA for years. My sister recommended Tracy, and I couldn't be happier that I trusted her. Tracy absolutely nailed it! The shape, length, and design were PERFECT. She paid so much attention to detail and gave me exactly what I wanted. If you're looking for someone who is talented, meticulous, and truly cares about her work, I HIGHLY recommend Tracy. I'll definitely be back every time I'm in Sacramento!

    I'm writing to address the experience I had at your salon today, which was not only disappointing…read morebut completely unacceptable. I have been a loyal client for over a year, consistently spending over $100 per visit, and I have always come in respectfully, communicated clearly, and expected the level of service that matches the price I pay. Today, a nail tech abruptly took over my service and immediately told me I "should go somewhere else" because I'm "never satisfied." I have never raised my voice, insulted anyone, or behaved disrespectfully. I simply expect quality for the price I pay. She went as far as saying the staff "gets scared" when I come in, which is not only unprofessional but completely false. Throughout the past year, I've also noticed that the staff frequently speaks in their language while looking directly at me or other clients, creating an uncomfortable environment where customers feel talked about instead of respected. This has happened every single time I've visited. To make matters worse, shortly before my service was finished, I overheard another woman complaining about her nail tech as well, proving I'm not the only customer experiencing issues. When I requested a small discount due to the disrespect I received, the salon refused. No apology, no accountability, and no professionalism. After a year of loyalty and hundreds of dollars spent, this is how I was treated. I will not be returning, and I hope management seriously reevaluates how staff communicates with customers and handles feedback.
